Chapter 456: Heard You Got Shelved (61)

Sitting on the sofa in the living room, Shen Mubei felt uncomfortable all over.

She couldn’t help but think about that night, and her ears became unbearably hot.

Yu Jingchen handed her a glass of water and then walked over, saying, “It seems like we haven’t seen each other for a long time.”

His gaze was fixed on her without blinking, deep and intense.

Shen Mubei couldn’t help but shift a little to the side and quietly said, “Mm.”

Yu Jingchen smiled bitterly, his expression full of loneliness, and said, “Sister Xiaoxing, are you still bothered by what happened last time?”

Shen Mubei quickly denied, “No… I just… feel like everything happened too suddenly, and I couldn’t catch up for a moment.”

She chuckled awkwardly and added, “It’ll be fine after some time.”

Yu Jingchen stared at her face and suddenly asked, “Then will Sister Xiaoxing still avoid me?”

Looking at his pale face and the hurt, lonely look in his eyes, Shen Mubei couldn’t help but soften in her heart.

She changed the topic, saying, “I heard that all your current resources are earned by yourself. What does that mean?”

Yu Jingchen softly replied, “It’s nothing.”

His gentle gaze focused on her, and his tone became pleading, “Sister Xiaoxing, can you stay and have dinner today?”

Seeing the clear dark circles under his eyes, Shen Mubei couldn’t help but ask, “Have you not been resting properly these past few days?”

Yu Jingchen lowered his gaze and softly said, “At first, I was just a little tired, but I got used to it.”

Shen Mubei saw that he was unwilling to tell the truth, so she didn’t press him.

She simply remained silent and said, “Jingchen, I hope you’ll be okay.”

Yu Jingchen softly responded, “Sister Xiaoxing, I won’t disappoint you.”

Shen Mubei thought that his words were in response to her own and didn’t think much of it, so much so that, much later, she regretted not realizing it in time.

In the end, Shen Mubei couldn’t bring herself to refuse and stayed for dinner.

Yu Jingchen was very happy, finding all kinds of ways to prepare delicious food for her.

Even during the meal, the joy in his eyes never faded.

After this meal, their relationship somewhat eased, but what followed was a long period of not being able to meet again.

Yu Jingchen was very busy.

Although he didn’t have the resources from Starshine, relying on his own strength and the little network he had built, he not only avoided any downturn but his situation became increasingly optimistic.

Shen Mubei often heard news about him from Xiaoguai, like how he was starting to transition to films, leading to a full schedule, or being invited by a well-known domestic magazine, or getting endorsement deals.

Three years passed in the blink of an eye.

During these three years, Shen Mubei didn’t stay idle either.

She played several roles and participated in variety shows, and the popularity she had accumulated now made her a top-tier star.

The comments under her Weibo posts were completely different from before.

These fans were cute and had unusual opinions.

Sometimes, they even criticized their own goddess first, which made people laugh and cry at the same time.

On the white paper that says “I love you”: “Hahaha, the goddess is so cute. She must have been warned by her manager, so when she saw the food on the show, she restrained herself, but little did she know that small look in her eyes betrayed her inner thoughts.”

Sparkling Bright: “Does anyone remember that little Weibo account that was exposed some time ago? It was full of lottery reposts, haha. And last year, she probably accidentally logged into the wrong account, and it went trending again. People who didn’t know thought her account was hacked.”
