Xia Wanyuan listened to Xiao Bao’s nagging in amusement. Since she had a short break in the afternoon, she accompanied him for a while.
Jun Shiling sat by the side and watched as Xiao Bao pulled further and further away. Time passed second by second. Xia Wanyuan did not have much time to call after filming, so Jun Shiling still wanted to speak to her and give Xiao Bao a warning look.
Seeing Jun Shiling’s gaze, Xiao Bao understood. His father was looking for him for something, so he hung up the phone.
“Mommy, Daddy wants to talk to me about something. I’ll hang up first. Bye.”
“…” Jun Shiling clenched some documents and reminded himself that this was his biological son.
Xia Wanyuan hung up the phone. Before it was her turn to film, she was eating watermelon peacefully under the tree.
Speaking of watermelons, this could be said to be one of her favorite fruits since she came to the modern world.
She had never eaten such fruits in her previous life. During this period of time, watermelons had been sold in large numbers. Every day, Tang Yin would bring her a watermelon that was very sweet and cold.
“The melon today doesn’t seem to be as delicious as yesterday’s.” Xia Wanyuan took a piece and tasted it. She felt that it was not as sweet as the previous few days, nor was it crispy. The water seemed to have decreased a lot.
“I’m puzzled too. The couple who had been selling melons at the entrance of the film studio a few days ago didn’t seem to be here today. Their watermelons are nicer.”
Tang Yin also found it a little strange. The last time she bought melons, she had even chatted with the couple a little. The couple said that they still had more than ten acres of watermelon at home that they had not sold. It had only been a few days, so why did they not come?
However, Tang Yin and Xia Wanyuan had only casually chatted about this matter. Soon, it was Xia Wanyuan’s turn to film, so she did not take this matter to heart.
When work ended at night, Xia Wanyuan heard from Tang Yin that the young couple had returned. She wanted to buy one and bring it home for Xiao Bao to eat.
Although the manor also had excellent quality fruits, Xia Wanyuan felt that the watermelon sold by this family had a more juicy taste.
She followed Tang Yin to find this family’s stall.
“Boss, please pick a sweet one.” Tang Yin went forward to buy it while Xia Wanyuan waited at the side.
“Okay! I promise to pick the biggest one for you.” Tang Yin had come to buy often recently. The boss already knew her, so he helped her pick very carefully.
Xia Wanyuan watched her boss pick the melon seeds and suddenly asked, “Boss, did you not come today because you fell and injured yourself?”
There were bruises on the boss’s face and arms.
“Huh?” The boss was first shocked by Xia Wanyuan’s appearance and bearing, then he reacted to her words. “Sigh, that’s not true.”
The lady boss seemed to be very helpless as she complained, “We’re going to pack up and return to our hometown in Dongshan tomorrow. Our melons are sold cheaply, so everyone takes care of us. The other vendors are jealous. Last night, on the way home, someone beat my husband up in a sack.”
The lady boss wiped her tears as she spoke.
Tang Yin could not help but ask, “Dongshan isn’t close to here. Why aren’t you selling it there?”
“It’s all for the sake of earning a few more dollars. You don’t know how ruthless melon traffickers are when they earn the middle price difference. Here, this is your melon.”
Tang Yin handed over a few notes. “Take them as fuel. It’s not easy to come over.”
Xia Wanyuan and Tang Yin left the stall under the repeated thanks of the melon seller couple.
Halfway through, Xia Wanyuan suddenly turned her head. “Tang Yin, go and ask for their phone number.”
“Okay.”

In terms of viewership and influence, the drama “The Long Ballad” could be said to be a very popular drama this year. Hence, in the various ratings for the past six months, it had received many awards. Xia Wanyuan had also received many invitations to award ceremonies, and one of them was even the more famous Silver Crane Award in the industry.
After Tang Yin and Chen Yun discussed, they decided to let Xia Wanyuan attend the Silver Crane Awards ceremony.
When the news was released, the fans were excited. This was because compared to a few years ago when Xia Wanyuan could not wait to appear on camera every day, in recent months, Xia Wanyuan’s reputation had clearly improved, and she had more fans.
However, she was always in her hidden state, and many fans hoped to see her appear more often.
