Although she was used as a tool for Cheng Zhen to ship her dream.
Her treatment in this video was quite good.
The scenes of her appearing as the vixen were always beautiful.
If Jiang Ye did not know she was a CP fan, she would even think that this editor was more like her fan than her group of dedicated and mischievous solo fans.
The comments towards her were also very friendly.
【Okay, let’s bless the dream come true! I’ll take the vixen Jiang Mei!】
【The person above, do you know that you made Jiang Mei coax me for an hour because of your comment?】
【I’ve watched several vixen videos, but why is it always our Jiang Mei, hahaha!!】
【Wuwuwu, after all, Jiang Mei is so beautiful, who can resist a vixen like her?】
Jiang Ye: "..."
Well, at least the atmosphere was pretty good.
After watching it, Jiang Ye clicked on the next recommended video.
Title: 【Using the Way of Temptation to Open 5tars】.
Jiang Ye: "..."
Jiang Ye’s hand trembled, and she immediately exited.
Jiang Ye could not help but be curious.
What kind of group are they, 5tars, in their fans’ minds?
5tars’ daily work schedule was always quite busy.
And around the 20th of every month, the manager would come to 5tars to summarize the month and inform them of the general schedule for the next month.
This month, 5tars’ data was trending quite well.
So, next month’s tasks should also be arranged.
"… So, June will be roughly like that."
The manager finished speaking and said, "Does anyone have any additions?"
Everyone was silent for a moment.
Shen Zhiyi looked around, finally could not help but raise her hand, "That… It seems like we missed one."
She said softly, "Isn’t Jiang Ye’s birthday on the first of next month? Should we have a birthday party?"
Jiang Ye was stunned.
She had forgotten.
It was indeed her birthday on June 1st, as she had said in her last live stream.
Because Jiang Ye’s ID card didn’t list that date as her birthday.
So, the manager was also stunned, he flipped through his files and said, "Is it June 1st? Um, there’s no work schedule that day, it’s not too late to add a birthday party… What does Jiang Ye think?"
Jiang Ye nodded, "Okay."
After all, she had told her fans that.
Her fans should already be preparing birthday support for her, she couldn’t go back on her word and change her birthday.
But it was more difficult for the manager.
The company’s original plan was to have a small birthday party for each member, and then draw a few fans online to be guests at the birthday party.
If they had to prepare it now, they probably wouldn’t have enough time.
The manager mentioned this problem.
Jiang Ye thought for a moment and said, "Can we not draw fans, and just have the birthday party online?"
After all, there would definitely be a lot of trouble if they drew fans online.
For example, would they draw group fans or solo fans, and would they have to hold individual light sticks or group light sticks at the party?
If they just switched to an online live stream, it would be easier.
The manager tapped his phone, and after a while, he said, "Okay, I’ll inform the company."
Since the plan was set, everyone started to prepare.
June 1st, 8 pm.
Jiang Ye’s birthday party began on time.
Jiang Ye’s fans had naturally been preparing for this birthday.
So, before the live stream started, the entire comment section was filled with birthday wishes for Jiang Ye.
When it was eight o’clock, the camera finally showed something.
The birthday party was held in a large room, with a screen in the background.
A few seconds later, the screen lit up and started playing a VCR.
"Hello everyone."
"I’m Jiang Ye from Shengrui Entertainment."
…
The VCR showed all the major events Jiang Ye had experienced from participating in Chasing Light Girls to now.
The corresponding timeline was displayed next to it.
As time moved quickly, Jiang Ye went through several stages, debuted, released her first album, performed on music shows, participated in variety shows, until she reached today.
When Jiang Ye’s last shot ended, the screen moved.
A beautiful butterfly flew from a branch.
The song Jiang Ye sang during the initial evaluation stage played as background music.
The spotlights in the venue finally lit up.
Jiang Ye appeared in front of the camera.
She was wearing beautiful makeup, a birthday hat, and she greeted everyone cheerfully.
"Hello everyone, I’m Jiang Ye from 5tars, and I’m also Jiang Ye who turned nineteen today."
Jiang Ye smiled at the camera, "Welcome to Jiang Ye’s birthday party!"
【Ah, ah, ah, Happy Birthday, Jiang Ye, Mom loves you!!!】
【Wuwu, our daughter is nineteen, wuwuwu, I hope you’re happy, healthy, and safe in the new year!】
【Ah, ah, ah!! I hope you get more and more popular this year!!】
The other members of 5tars came on stage behind her.
Lin Zui: "Yan Jie said today is Jiang Ye’s birthday party, so she’ll be in charge of the flow of the event."
Lin Zui handed the microphone to Jiang Ye, "Go ahead, what kind of birthday party do you want?"
Jiang Ye thought for a moment, looked at the camera, and said, "If it were you, what would you be looking forward to most when you have a birthday every year?"
【Blowing out the candles!!】
【Eating cake!!】
【Receiving gifts!!】
Jiang Ye pretended to think for a moment and said, "For me, it’s probably receiving gifts, right?"
She stretched out her hand towards her teammates, "So, what gifts did you prepare for me?"
Everyone laughed.
Lin Zui coughed twice and said seriously, "Considering your birthday is also Children’s Day."
"So, we all prepared two gifts for you."
Jiang Ye couldn’t help but laugh, "But I’m an adult, why am I celebrating Children’s Day?"
"But it’s your birthday today."
"If it’s your birthday, you can be a child for a day."
Lin Zui said, taking out the gift she had prepared earlier, and handing it to Jiang Ye, "I made you a custom earpiece, the logo is your initials."
【Wow, Lin Zong is so rich!】
【Wuwuwu, a custom earpiece, I’m shipping them, she loves her so much!!! Lin Shen Ye Mao kswlkswl】
【Although, but it’s Jiang Ye’s birthday, stop shipping!】
Jiang Ye: "..."
She remembered that this thing was quite expensive.
As expected of Lin Zui, who will inherit her family fortune without debuting.
The other three also gave her gifts related to music.
Jiang Ye put them all away and then blinked, "What about the second gift?"
Lin Zui beckoned to the staff.
The staff pushed a cake over.
Lin Zui said mysteriously, "We’ll tell you after you make a wish and blow out the candles."
Jiang Ye closed her eyes and was about to make a wish.
In front of the camera.
Lin Zui held up three fingers.
Three, two, one.
Jiang Ye hadn’t even thought of a wish yet, and they all smeared the extra cream from the second layer of the cake on Jiang Ye’s face.
"Hahahahahaha!"
"Surprise!"
"Do you like it, Jiang Ye?"
Jiang Ye: "..."
No one told her about this part during rehearsal!
They only said that they would give her the second gift after she blew out the candles, damn, this is the second gift?!
Jiang Ye was both angry and amused.
She wiped the cream off her face in a few seconds, and she laughed as she chased them around the venue.
The staff members watching from the side were also laughing hysterically, and they had to say, "Hey, hey, hey, you guys, be careful not to fall!"
Finally, Jiang Ye smeared the cream on each of her teammates’ faces, and she finally got her revenge.
Everyone washed their faces quickly, touched up their makeup, and returned to the camera.
Jiang Ye didn’t bother making a wish, she just started cutting the cake, "How big do you want?"
"The biggest piece."
Cheng Zhen thought for a moment and said, "But it’s your birthday today, so I’ll allow you to have a bigger piece than me."
Jiang Ye: "..."
No, no.
She didn’t want to eat that much high-calorie food.
The staff brought another phone over, so they could interact with the comments while they ate.
【I’m dying, 5tars is confirmed to be a group of xxj (a term for people who are childish and immature).】
【Why are they all so childish, hahahahahaha!】
【I thought I was here to watch a birthday party, but I’m watching xxj fight each other?!】
【Interview Jiang Mei! Please tell us if you like this Children’s Day gift!】
Lin Zui saw this and immediately said, "That’s a good question, let Jiang Ye answer."
Jiang Ye: "..."
Jiang Ye almost choked on her cake.
Lin Zui: "Admit it, is this the most special birthday gift you’ve ever received?"
After saying this, Lin Zui immediately realized that it was a little inappropriate.
Jiang Ye had always lived in an orphanage, she didn’t know if she received gifts on her birthday.
She paused for a second and quickly corrected herself, "Why don’t you tell us which of our gifts is the most special to you?"
【Wow!】
【As expected of Lin Zui, the straight-talking queen 2333.】
【What’s going on, why do I feel like they’re competing for attention?】
【I’ve already placed my bet, is this a gift-choosing session, or is this a competition to see who’s the most special to Jiang Mei?】
【I’m ready to ship! After all, no matter who it is, I can ship them with our Jiang Mei!】
But Jiang Ye bit her plastic fork, thought for a moment, and said, "Ah… from my entire life?"
She smiled and said, "It’s not any of those."
Lin Zui: "..."
It seems like her attempt to make amends was in vain.
"The most special gift I’ve ever received."
Jiang Ye thought for a moment, "It’s probably a song…?"
...
Jiang Ye actually didn’t know her exact birthday.
The date on her ID card wasn’t her birthday, and the one she usually celebrated wasn’t either.
In this world, maybe no one knows her actual birthday.
So, she didn’t really care, she just celebrated with everyone at the orphanage every year.
Occasionally, there were children in the orphanage whose parents had died unexpectedly, and they had some memories.
Although they knew their birthdays, they couldn’t mention it in the orphanage, they could only celebrate everyone’s birthday on the same day.
After all, for orphans, celebrating their birthday wasn’t really about celebrating the day they were born.
It was about celebrating that they, these poor children, had survived another year.
Jiang Ye didn’t realize there was a problem with this.
Until she once noticed that Jiang Zhou was not happy.
It was actually difficult to notice that Jiang Zhou wasn’t happy.
He had always had the same expression since he came to the orphanage, he seemed silent and reclusive, and he didn’t talk to anyone much.
So, in the first two years, Jiang Ye didn’t notice anything wrong with him on his birthday.
It wasn’t until this year, when they had gotten to know each other a little better, that she felt something was off about him today.
He didn’t say anything to anyone.
But Jiang Ye thought for a moment, and she understood without being taught.
She couldn’t think of anything to comfort him, so she could only say, "Don’t be sad, at least you remember your birthday, I don’t even know mine."
"If you want to celebrate it."
Jiang Ye said softly, "I’ll secretly celebrate your birthday with you next time?"
Jiang Zhou finally looked up at her.
"..."
Actually, he wasn’t sad about that.
But he thought for a moment and said, "Really?"
Jiang Ye: "Of course, it’s true."
Jiang Zhou: "… Then what about today?"
"Um."
Jiang Ye thought for a moment, "Then let’s say you’re celebrating my birthday."
After all, she didn’t know her birthday, she didn’t mind.
Jiang Zhou thought for a moment and nodded.
After a moment, he said, "… But, today, I don’t have a gift for you."
Jiang Ye thought for a moment, she was about to say that Grandma would cut cake for everyone tonight, you can just give me a piece of your cake.
But before she could finish, Jiang Zhou suddenly seemed to have thought of something and said, "Wait for me a moment."
He said a moment.
But he disappeared for a very long time.
He didn’t even come to eat birthday cake at night.
Jiang Ye kept his piece of cake for him, and she decided that if he didn’t come back before bedtime, she would secretly eat his cake.
Just as Jiang Ye was about to take a bite of the cake, Jiang Zhou suddenly came back.
Jiang Ye was startled, she was about to give him his cake back when Jiang Zhou suddenly raised the thing in his hand.
He had borrowed Grandma’s old harmonica.
He played Happy Birthday to Jiang Ye, but he wasn’t very skilled.
He had just learned it from someone.
It was such a simple song, but he played it clumsily, and it was even a little off-key.
Jiang Ye’s hands holding the cake froze.
The summer night breeze brushed past Jiang Ye’s hair.
After Jiang Zhou finished playing, he paused, about to apologize for his terrible harmonica skills, but he saw Jiang Ye’s eyes shining and said, "Can you play it again?"
…
"Ah, why are they special?"
Jiang Ye smiled and said, "Maybe it’s because it’s the first time I’ve seen someone play the harmonica so badly?"
The entire comment section erupted in laughter.
Jiang Ye finished the cake on her fork and suddenly smiled again.
It wasn’t really that.
The next year, he could play very well.
Later, he started to play all sorts of different songs.
Sometimes, when they were tired of life in the orphanage, they would sneak out to play.
Behind the orphanage was a large, overgrown wasteland.
Jiang Zhou played the harmonica.
And Jiang Ye sang next to him.
If you really wanted to say, that might be her musical awakening.
Why did she suddenly remember this now?
Jiang Ye looked at the barrage of happy birthday messages.
It was probably because many people were celebrating her birthday now.
She received so much love that belonged to her.
But the first time someone celebrated her birthday, treating her as an individual, not an orphan who celebrated the same birthday as everyone else, was the gift given to her.
It was that clumsily played harmonica song.
