At least for him, it wasn't heavy.
Afterwards, Yu Tang returned to work, but the director dared not have him suspended by wires again. After filming a few more short scenes, the director ended the day's work early and let Yu Tang go home to rest.
During this time, Yu Tang and Ren Yan also had a scene together. Ren Yan sat on the dragon throne, while Yu Tang knelt on the ground, pleading with him for permission.
It was originally just a short scene, and I was sure I could get it right in one take.
But Ren Yan kept making mistakes, causing Yu Tang to kneel repeatedly.
The more he did this, the more hands pulled him from behind. From Yu Tang's perspective, he felt his scalp tingle and his heart grow cold.
"It's really bad luck to be with Ren Yan!" Agent Wang Tao was carrying Yu Tang's things, grinding his teeth in anger: "He's a veteran actor, how can he be so petty?"
"Just because you prevented him from winning his second consecutive Best Actor award, he's made things so difficult for you. No wonder he's doing so badly now! This guy has serious character flaws!"
Yu Tang wasn't particularly angry. He took the things from Wang Tao's hand and said, "Xiao Tao, keep your voice down, don't let anyone with ulterior motives hear."
"I'll drive myself home today, so you don't need to take me."
“How can that be?” Wang Tao said, “The wire malfunctioned inexplicably today, which is strange enough. I can’t let you go home alone.”
"Hey, I'm really fine." Yu Tang said helplessly, "Besides, I have some things to take care of on my way back, and it's not convenient with you coming with me."
Wang Tao's small eyes widened, and he lowered his voice: "What is it? Are you going to see your sweetheart? Or is Miss Li looking for you?"
"None of them..."
Wang Tao immediately pouted in disappointment, but he didn't ask any more questions.
Instead, he took out a talisman from his breast pocket and said, "It's fine if you don't want me to follow you, but you have to take this."
He said, "Director Zhang had the staff check the wires several times, but they didn't find any problems."
So I think it's very likely that ghosts are behind it. This amulet was bought for me by my mother at a high price; it's very effective. I'm giving it to you.
Yu Tang knew he meant well, so she reached out and took it.
However, as soon as he held it in his hand, he heard a cold voice in his ear: "What kind of rubbish is this? Yellow paper with cinnabar? You think you can suppress ghosts with such little spiritual power?"
Finally, he scoffed and concluded disdainfully, "None of them are as useful as a single strand of my hair."

Died for the villain for the ninth time (11)
Yu Tang suppressed a laugh, thanked Wang Tao, and then reached out to poke Qin Junyang, who had just woken up: "Little beauty, are you awake?"
Qin Junyang grabbed his fingers and bit them hard.
When the sharp teeth pierce the skin, a small amount of blood comes out.
After licking his fingers clean with relish, Qin Junyang released Yu Tang's fingers and said, "Yes, you're awake."
He pointed to the triangular yellow talisman in Yu Tang's hand: "Hurry up and throw that piece of junk away."
"With me protecting you, what do you need that thing for?"
Yu Tang ignored him, put the bag away, and walked towards the parking lot: "This was someone's kind offer, I can't throw it away."
Qin Junyang frowned, looking rather displeased.
He inexplicably disliked Yu Tang accepting things from others. Especially since these things were personal items taken from the arms of that man named Wang Tao, which made him even more disgusted.
Qin Junyang felt awkward and thought about it repeatedly. Finally, he made a tough decision, plucked a lock of his own hair, and then reached out and pulled a few strands of Yu Tang's hair, causing Yu Tang to gasp in pain.
Why did you pull my hair?
Qin Junyang didn't speak, but instead produced a red rope from his hand and tightly tied the two people's hair together.
Then he cut off a piece of fabric from his sleeve.
His clothes would become a normal size after being cut.
So the piece of cloth was exactly half the size of Yu Tang's palm. Qin Junyang fiddled with it a few times and turned it into a dark gold brocade pouch, which he then held up in front of the man.
The tiny child held up a brocade pouch as tall as himself, his face still sour: "This is for you..."
"If you take my amulet, then throw away the one in your clothes."
"I hate the smell of that!"
Yu Tang was stunned for a moment, then took the simple brocade pouch, feeling a warmth in his heart.
He asked Qin Junyang, "Are you jealous?"
"Bullshit!" Qin Junyang retorted directly, "Why would I be jealous? I just hate that smell!"
"Okay, okay, you're annoying, I won't wear it then, alright?"
Yu Tang was amused by him, took the amulet out of his pocket, put it in the passenger seat, and carefully kept the brocade pouch that Qin Junyang had given him close to his body.
Qin Junyang smiled with satisfaction and stopped getting angry.
The two followed Ren Yan out of the parking lot.
They discovered that Ren Yan had not gone home, but had gone to the Fourth Middle School of the city.
The Fourth Middle School of the city is the best junior high school in City A. Students have a heavy workload and evening study sessions last until 8:30 p.m.
Ren Yan arrived at the school gate at exactly 8:30.
"What is he doing here?" Yu Tang asked, somewhat puzzled.
“There must be someone important here.” Qin Junyang sat on Yu Tang’s shoulder, swinging his short legs. “I said before that he had to save himself because even if I saved him once, with his mentality, new ghosts would definitely be born. So now we have to help him from the root.”
"People's concerns are nothing more than these three categories: relatives, friends, and lovers."
Qin Junyang spoke about this in great detail: "Only by having these three types of people enlighten Ren Yan can he possibly eliminate the resentment in his heart. If I give him a helping hand, everything will be fine."
"Oh, I understand." Yu Tang thought of what Xiao Jin had told him: Ren Yan and his ex-wife had a daughter in the third year of junior high school who was an excellent student. Two years ago, before Ren Yan's scandal broke, the girl's grades were always among the best, and she was Ren Yan's pride.
But I wonder what it's like now.
Just then, Xiao Jin reminded him in his mind: [Host! Ren Yan's daughter has come out!]
Yu Tang looked over and his eyes widened slightly.
Because girls nowadays are so different from the model students of the past.
Mini skirt, knee-high boots, tight leather top, hair tied in dreadlocks, large earrings, and heavy makeup on her youthful face—she didn't look like a student at all.
The girl walked out of the school gate with her schoolbag slung over one shoulder. She glanced around and spotted the familiar car. She quickened her pace, kicked the car door, and yelled, "You old bastard, you come to the school gate to wait for me every day, aren't you disgusting?"
Hearing this, Yu Tang's heart skipped a beat, but Qin Junyang laughed out loud and clapped his hands: "Well said, that kind of old bastard deserves to be cursed."
The girl's voice attracted a lot of attention. Some people gathered around to watch the spectacle, pointing and whispering about the black car and the girl, their eyes full of mockery.
The black sedan remained motionless. Ren Yan did not get out of the car, nor did the girl choose to get in.
He just stared intently at the opaque glass, and sneered, "Ren Yan, you ruined this family, you ruined me."
The roar of motorcycles filled the air as several strangely dressed youths drove off on motorcycles, dispersing the onlookers. They stopped in front of the girl, and one of them took out a spare helmet from his motorcycle and handed it to her: "Jiajia, wanna go for a ride?"
Ren Jia took the helmet, letting the man put his arm around her shoulder. Before the smile on her lips turned bitter, she put on the helmet, fastened it tightly, and finally said to the person in the car, "Coward..."
After Ren Jia left, the black car finally started moving and caught up with the motorcycle the girl was riding.
Like a silent and timid guardian, he dares not show himself, yet he still tenaciously protects the people he cares about.
“Ren Yan’s ghostly power has increased again.” Qin Junyang told Yu Tang to drive and follow the two people, saying, “It seems that the conflict between these two is indeed quite significant and not easy to resolve.”
"However, what's interesting is that this girl named Ren Jia, although she looks quite bad."
But there was no sign of any ghost or monster originating from her.
"Don't judge a person solely by their appearance and behavior," Yu Tang said. "Ren Jia is at the age where she's going through a rebellious phase. And with such a big thing happening in her family, it would be strange if she wasn't affected."
"But even if this girl dresses up as rebelliously."
It was merely a protective shell she had built for herself; her true nature remained strong and kind. How could she possibly be a ghost or monster?
"Therefore, I think we can use this as a starting point to create an opportunity for the father and daughter to reconcile."
"Opportunity?" Qin Junyang's gaze fell on the group of young men on motorcycles. He narrowed his eyes and said, "We might not need to create opportunities for them; they might come on their own."
As they were talking, the young men had already brought Ren Jia to the bar. Their hands were already groping around Ren Jia's waist. Ren Jia frowned and slapped them away, but they continued to hold her.
Ren Jia gritted her teeth and said to the man, "We agreed to act, don't push your luck!"
"Haven't you heard that if you're going to put on an act, you have to go all the way?" The man whispered in the girl's ear, his voice sinister: "Ren Jia, I've put up with you for far too long. You're not getting away today!"
Ren Jia then realized something was wrong and tried to break free, but her mouth was covered the next moment, and she was pushed into the bar by a group of people.
Almost simultaneously, Ren Yan finally couldn't help but get out of the car. At that moment, Yu Tang also saw what he looked like.
I involuntarily gasped.
All that could be seen were pale arms on Ren Yan's feet, thighs, head, and back.
Moreover, these arms no longer remained on the surface, but moved forward, clinging tightly to Ren Yan's body, revealing only a pair of eyes that glowed red.
Seeing this, Qin Junyang was not in a hurry at all. Instead, he licked his lips and said.
"See? The real show is about to begin..."
Yesterday I received a lot of encouragement and small gifts from everyone. Thank you all!
Starting today, this is me...
Love you all...

"What a show is about to begin!" Yu Tang nudged Qin Junyang, opened the door, and locked the car: "Let's hurry up and rescue them."
"You stinky Taoist priest! You poked my head again!" Qin Junyang muttered angrily, "I've already told you, I'm not a good ghost, and their lives have nothing to do with me. You should remember that I saved them to give you face, and you should be grateful for it, understand?"
Yu Tang was amused by him and ignored him.
As a public figure, in order to avoid being recognized, Yu Tang wore a half-length wig, a mask, and changed his appearance by slightly hunching his back, thus creating the image of a lazy young man.
Qin Junyang looked Yu Tang up and down: "I've noticed that you can play any role convincingly?"
