She rode the bicycle before stopping far away. The woman on the bicycle wore many clothes, wrapping herself tightly and only exposing her eyes. However, upon closer inspection, one could notice a pair of extremely beautiful eyes. No matter how much the world has changed, the brilliance in her eyes remained the same even after two lifetimes.
Had she changed? Actually, she had never.
She walked to the back of the team and started queueing up. Lu Yi walked to the front and also queued at the back of the line. However, his eyes were constantly on her. She was holding her handphone and playing with it occasionally, without being too distracted.
She bought a basket of buns and when she returned to her bicycle, she immediately took one out and ate it. The bun was the tastiest when it was still warm, especially just as it came out of the steamer.
She took a bite and it almost burnt her lips. However, that was the way of savoring it. She pushed her bicycle and ate as she walked. The buns would probably be finished before she reached home. Hmm, I should’ve bought two baskets of it. Should I go back to buy another basket of it? Forget about it. She sighed. The buns might be sold out when she arrive. I’ll just come again tomorrow.
However, she did not know that a man had been trailing behind her. She was busy thinking to herself, so she did not realize the long shadow cast under the bright streetlights.
When Lu Yi returned, it was already 8 pm in the evening. He took his handphone and with a light tap of his finger. His ticket for tomorrow’s morning flight was canceled. Then, he set it aside and walked toward the hotel’s French window. He could almost see the entire River Xun City from there. He lived there for about two years, after all.
Yan Huan parked her bicycle at the doorway and opened the door before going out. She thought that she would come back anymore, but in the end, she relented. Compared to Sea City, it was more peaceful here and she really needed this peace of mind. Perhaps, she would return again before long.
“There’s an endorsement for you, do you want to accept it?”
In the phone, Luo Lin lamented, “You are the International Best Actress, yet you did not shoot any films, dramas, or movies. It’s a waste of your nickname as a box office elixir.”
“Wasn’t my name so tarnished that I was kicked out of the entertainment industry?” Yan Huan had not been paying attention to the news for quite some time. Since she was revealed to have an extramarital affair, her reputation had drastically plummeted. Even some of her endorsements had been substituted. Unexpectedly, there were still people looking for her to film a commercial now. Was the product a rat poison or pesticide?
“Your name is cleared.” Luo Lin’s voice obviously sounded like she was gnashing her teeth in anger, saying, “Your reputation is finally restored after so much struggle, it was almost completely ruined. Yan Huan, do you think that the entertainment industry is a place that you can leave easily and simply enter as your wish?”
Yan Huan moved her handphone away from her ear, as Luo Lin had been hot-tempered recently. She was afraid to answer her call every time. Usually, her call would last for an hour and Yan Huan’s ear would hurt after being bombarded with endless nagging.
After she put down the phone, she would feel that her brain was buzzing, as if there was a bee flying inside, and have a severe migraine.
However, what was Luo Lin saying? I’m successfully absolved?
I’m absolved, but why don’t I know about it?
She walked to a side and took out her laptop. She wanted to browse the internet. After pressing buttons for a long time, the laptop still did not respond. She frowned and pondered to herself. Is it spoiled?
Forget it. She did not want to try again. She never knew how to fix a computer anyway, she would rather just send it and let others repair it tomorrow.
She took out her handphone, leaning on the headboard of her bed and started to snoop around.
She wanted to find out about the dirty secrets of Yan Huan’s affair.
‘Best actress Yan Huan donated blood to save someone’s life, giving almost one-fifth of all her blood.’
‘It was not adultery but a blessing.’
She pursed her red lips tightly and had no idea who wrote these. There were a few photos of her in the hospital. Actually, there should not be too much news about her.
However, these seemed like they had existed for a very long time. To be honest, she disliked it when her name existed in these domains for so long. The entertainment industry was a place that one could be forgotten easily. The latest news was constantly churned out while the old news would disappear in a flash and turned into dust.
The latest news was updated endlessly as things happened every day.
She noticed after she stopped filming, there were many artists who became famous. As for the seniors like her, they would be replaced and forgotten eventually.
A few of the rookies discovered by Linlang became famous and they were considered as Linlang’s most successful roster. Till now, Yan Huan had lived to the age of her last life, so she could not do anything for Linlang anymore. She had to make her own path in the future. Anyway, she had years of experience under her belt, so she was very stable and determined now. She could even compete with the top domestic entertainment companies.
Then, she put down her handphone. She was still in doubt that her name was cleared. Although it did not matter if she was absolved or not, it was better to have her name cleared. At least, she would not be scolded every day. No one sane would want to be scolded, after all.
As for the endorsement, she did not plan to accept it. She was not overly ambitious, as she had received the prizes that she wanted. From now on, she wanted to lead an ordinary life, without having to cover herself up like a bear and be afraid of revealing her face while going out.
On the next day, she woke up early in the morning and brought her laptop to the shopping mall. She bought the laptop here and she did not want to search for after-sales services.
The computer maintenance staff started to check her laptop. After quite some time, he realized that it was the problem of the laptop’s graphic card, so it had to be changed. The graphic card was in stock and after being changed and adjusted, she brought the laptop and walked back home. As she kept lowering her head to ponder over something, she did not notice that a person brushed against her. That person stopped, but she kept going forward without pausing.
Lu Yi stared at her back view for very long until she vanished from his sight. Then, he turned around and walked forward. It seemed that she had been living well in this city, everything was simple and peaceful for her.
He put his laptop on the table.
“The graphic card is damaged.”
Before going out, he had checked his laptop and knew that it was the graphic card’s problem. Thus, he immediately came here today to change the graphic card.
The computer maintenance staff took his laptop and as expected, it was similar to the previous laptop he repaired. Both of their graphic cards were damaged.
