Qin Yulong actually didn’t like taking selfies or uploading her own photos online.
However, seeing Wenyan’s eager demeanor, she didn’t want to dampen her spirits, so she moved closer to her in cooperation.
Wenyan took several photos in a row and then happily started editing them.
He Xing, who was sitting in the front passenger seat, suddenly remembered something and felt a bit worried.
“There were already rumors about you two online before. What if the haters start talking nonsense when this group photo gets out?”
Wenyan didn’t mind, “Yulong is now my manager, and everyone is bound to find out sooner or later. Instead of letting them discover it much later and start idle chatter, I might as well make it public from the start. Don’t you think, Yulong?”
Qin Yulong nodded.
She couldn’t understand how such baseless rumors were believed and widely spread.
To say that she and Wenyan were a lesbian couple was just insane.
He Xing was right; as soon as Wenyan posted the update,
it shot to the top of the hot search that very night.
While dining with the director, Zhou Junye couldn’t help but remark, “Wenyan, you’ve really made it big. You’re usually out of sight, but the moment you show up, it’s like you’re living on the hot search list. Have you decided on the project to follow this one? Our side is about to wrap up, and you’re on the rise—it’s time to strike while the iron is hot.”
Zhou Junye didn’t like to drink, so Wenyan poured him a glass of soft drink.
“That’s exactly my intention, which is why I came to you, isn’t it?”
“To me?” Zhou Junye shook his head, “I’m happy that you’re willing to work with me even after becoming so popular, but I don’t have any suitable projects at the moment.”
“I know, but what I want to discuss isn’t any existing projects you have. I have a plan, and I’m just wondering if you might be interested.”
Zhou Junye perked up, “Tell me.”
Wenyan then shared her plan to make a film with Zhou Junye.
After hearing it, Zhou Junye couldn’t help but gape.
“So you really! You found your biological father so quickly?”
“Of course! Didn’t you all see the paternity test report during my live stream?”
Zhou Junye marveled, “I never expected that your biological father would have such a moving story. Have you discussed it with him, and has he agreed?”
“Yes. I sought his consent before starting to plan this project in my mind. I’ve also settled things with Shen Jinghe, and now with your involvement, I think even if we don’t achieve huge success, we probably won’t fail. I’m not counting on this film to make a lot of money; I just want to gain some attention for certain groups, like the ‘Pangolin.’ I think any director might refuse, but you certainly won’t, right!”
“Right!” Zhou Junye was somewhat excited, “Of course, I won’t refuse. What about the scriptwriter? Do you have someone in mind?”
“Well…” Wenyan raised her eyebrows, “Far in the horizon, but close at hand.”
“Yourself?” Zhou Junye was surprised, “Are you up for it?”
Wenyan wasn’t offended by Zhou Junye’s skepticism.
“Let’s give it a try, how else will we know if it’s good enough or not. I’ll try first, and if it really isn’t up to standard, then we can look for a scriptwriter.”
“That makes sense. After all, you’re also personally involved in this matter, and your feelings provide a good entry point. Though I know a few decent scriptwriters, if needed, I can introduce you.”
“Great! Once I have the script, I’ll show it to you. I hope it won’t disappoint you, Director.”
Zhou Junye raised his glass, “Then here’s to everything going smoothly for us!”

Wenyan quickly immersed herself in the filming process.

The “Last Pangolin” project was set to last 40 minutes; the film didn’t have many scenes or complex character relationships, allowing for a short shooting period.
After about another week in the mountains, the movie was wrapped up.
At the wrap-up, Wenyan’s eyes were swollen from crying.
As a human mother who had adopted a baby pangolin, she witnessed truckloads of pangolin corpses being carted away.
Pangolins only defend themselves and do not attack, curling into a ball when they do.
Their scales are incredibly hard, impenetrable when they curl up.
Humans had resorted to all kinds of methods to strip their hides and scales.
They used fire, poured concrete, extremely cruel…
Following a failed rescue, the human mother played by Wenyan was beaten up by the poachers.
The girl transformed from the little pangolin crawled over to give her water. She could not speak but had tears brimming in her eyes.
She told the little girl to go back, to return to the deep mountains, to never approach humans again—not even her, never to come out again, forever and ever.
The little girl, reluctant to leave, was nevertheless pushed away by her human mother.
Alone, desolate amongst the heavy fog of dawn, she walked towards the depths of the forest, looking back three steps at a time.
In the end, her silhouette changed from that of a little girl into a tiny pangolin, disappearing into the endless night.
The next day, the sun rose as usual, but the poachers’ steps did not cease.
