Three Combs: Chapter 27.1

[Previous][Table of Contents][Next]

Jiang Tiao once came across a sentence. It is what most people in long-distance relationships take to ridicule.

Isn’t long-distance relationships just raising online pets and finding time to make out?

In fact, this is also true. During the month that she had been dating Fu Ting Chuan, they rarely meet up. Their phones have become their source of interaction. If possible, Jiang Tiao would always have her phone in her hand so she won’t miss any text or phone call.

In addition, she also added Fu Ting Chuan's WeChat.

His username is simply one letter, F….the first letter of his first name.

Naturally…..there is nothing posted on Moments.

How can a person, who is too lazy to properly pick a username, be counted to share his life on moments?

Of course, his profile picture is very good. It is the picture of the polar bear shopkeeper in Shirokuma Cafe. Who knows whether it is Xu Che who changed it for him but it pleased Jiang Tiao. Because Fu Ting Chuan hadn’t reply back to her message in three hours, she had been gnashing her teeth. When he replied back to her, his response was simply for her to add him on WeChat. Then, she rolled her eyes and searched for this Mister “F.” As soon as she saw this stupidly cute profile picture, her temper disappeared in an instant. 


At the same time, Jiang Tiao understands that Fu Ting Chuan sent her that big bear not to fondly hold it in her hand but to use it as a punching bag whenever she is in a bad mood.

He really was too busy and couldn’t give her a lot of time.

Jiang Tiao felt that Fu Ting Chuan is a strange person. He was the one who proposed to add each other on WeChat but he hasn’t sent a WeChat message since then…..

What is his reason for adding her on WeChat, is it to look at her Moments?

Jiang Tiao began to look at her Moments, afraid that there is something strange on them. Fortunately, she mostly posts about work. Everyday life is pitiful.

However, there are many Meituan Waimai red envelope* coupons. Sometimes she and her colleagues would get tired of eating the meal boxes offered on set so they would order some snacks to eat.

T/N: I don’t really know how it works so this part is inaccurate. Here is a link where you can read all about it if you want.

After she orders it, she would share it on her Moments to give everyone a red envelope. Together is better than being alone.

But her male god added her on WeChat so she feels a bit ashamed if he were to see it…..like a madman, she immediately took it all down.

While Jiang Tiao is deleting all this, she began to think, why did she share so much?

Did she really order takeout so many times?

Fortunately, Fu Ting Chuan did not ask her anything.

But after two days, Jiang Tiao finally received a reply from Fu Ting Chuan…..

“‘How can someone achieve a healthy diet after eating out every day?’” –––From a Zhihu user”

Of course, most of the answer is….not to eat takeout.

Jiang Tiao, “.....”

But soon, she replied back.

“‘What is it like to have a boyfriend that cooks?’ –––From a Zhihu user”

Fu Ting Chuan replied with a smiling emoji.

Jiang Tiao, “Proud emoji expression.”

Fu Ting Chuan still replied, “Smiling emoji”

Jiang Tiao, “.....”

Her back is cold. She felt that his smile is terrifying.

Jiang Tiao, “Can you not smile?”

Fu Ting Chuan, “This is a satisfied smile.”

Jiang Tiao, “Smile/smile/smile/smile/smile/smile/smile/smile….”

Is it enough to send this emoji on the entire screen?

Fu Ting Chuan sent a sticker of Chi mouse.


Jiang Tiao’s cheeks burned. He seems to always know how to deal with her.

By the end of November, the weather is cooling down. Tong Jing Nian had finished filming all of Young Taiping’s scenes.

After her very last scene, the young girl who is wearing thin clothes quickly put on a down jacket, thanks the staff, and took a group photo.

When she reached Jiang Tiao, she gave her a hug and whispered thank you into her ear. Her voice is low. When someone hears it, they can tell that it is not out of courtesy but it came from the bottom of her heart.

In her first drama, although she suffered grievances and feel defeated, she completed it to the very end.

Jiang Tiao let go and stare at Tong Jing Nian’s fair and cold face that is filled with sorrow. Working in film production is just like this. People come and go, actors bidding farewell one by one, with shallow affections. In the future, everything will eventually be all in the past.

“You will get better and better.” Jiang Tiao sincerely wished for her.

“En!” Tong Jing Nian heavily nodded her head. She suddenly moved closer to her and lowered her voice, “Older sister Jiang, I’m going back to Beijing. In two days a video website is holding the annual Starlight Awards. I’m going and Teacher Fu is also on the guest list. Do you want to come?”

Jiang Tiao’s heart jumped when she heard his name but she still remembers that she has to work, “No, it’s too cold and the crew has to keep up with the pace of production. As soon as I leave, it will definitely affect the efficiency of the makeup team.”

Tong Jing Nian raised her two hands and supported her chin acting innocent, “Ah….what should I do? I’ve already told Teacher Yuan that I like how you do my makeup and want to borrow you for two days. The payment was not bad so he agreed.”

“Really…..” Jiang Tiao was startled. Since Tong Jing Nian is so insistent then she can only resign, “Okay, then I’ll go.”

What's more, she really missed him.

Tong Jing Nian smiled brightly, “That’s right.”

“Thank you.” Jiang Tiao replied.

Tong Jing Nian stuck her hands deep into the pockets of her down jacket and smiled warmly, “It’s nothing. You treat me very well and I really like you.”

She took out a tube of lipstick from her pocket. It was the one she had given her. She handed it back to Jiang Tiao, “Back to you.”

Tong Jing Nian smiled, “I don’t need this anymore, really.”

Jiang Tiao took it back, “Okay.”

She knows she already has a lipstick in her heart. It will always look great in the end, bright and brilliant.

In this world, there is many love, hate, and imperceptible influence unknown to anyone.

Everyone suffers, sometimes the days will be very bad and you will be very helpless but if you can live, then you should be grateful.

No one really knows what others are experiencing. Everyone is the same, looking at how others treat you and you treat others. Tolerance and patience are far better than life-long regrets.
