Huayu 2021: Isn’t he in the technology field?

Chapter 32 You Can't Control It

When Zhou Ye rushed into the room, the sunset outside the window was at its brightest.

She staggered onto the sofa, and the tear marks on the pillow blossomed into a dark flower.

"What's the matter, my dear?"

Meng Ziyi noticed that something was wrong with Zhou Ye when she walked into the living room, and chased her back to the room.

Her face, which had just finished skin care, was glowing with a pearly luster, but her smile froze when she saw Zhou Ye's red eyes.

When the body with the scent of gardenia fell into his arms, Meng Ziyi's fingertips paused for half a second on her best friend's trembling back.

She noticed that the willow catkins on Zhou Ye's temples were unique to the artificial lake.

"He refused, didn't he?"

She gently combed Zhou Ye's messy hair with her fingernails, her movements extremely gentle.

"I've said it before, these science and engineering guys are all stupid!"

"Don't be sad, Xiao Ye. He has poor taste. Our Xiao Ye is so pretty and cute. He rejected her because of his poor eyesight. It has nothing to do with you."

Her tone was as brisk as if she was discussing the latest bag, if you ignore the fact that she was pinching her left hand into the leather sofa.

When Zhou Ye shook her head, her tears splashed on her coat, and she looked aggrieved.

"He didn't respond to me directly, but I could feel from his silence that I had been rejected."

"I didn't let him say no. I backed off because I was afraid to hear his answer..."

Her sobs got stuck in her throat and turned into tiny sobs.

Outside the floor-to-ceiling window, the neon sign of Radio 650 suddenly lit up, pulling their shadows into tangled vines.

Meng Ziyi took out a tissue, handed it to Zhou Ye, paused, and then used his sleeve to wipe the tears.

When her sleeve slid across Zhou Ye's chin, the sobbing girl paused slightly.

A very familiar smell.

She smelled a faint scent on Meng Ziyi, which was the scent of laundry detergent that Jiang Qing usually used.

"Xiao Ye, do you know how much the cheapest B&B in Hengdian costs?"

Before he had time to think about it, Meng Ziyi's sudden change of topic made Zhou Ye look up in confusion.

"The extras squatting on the curb eating their lunch boxes looked much more miserable than you do now."

The crystal chandelier cast a fine light in Meng Ziyi's eyes, and a faint curve appeared at the corner of her lips.

"And Dr. Jiang..."

"Ah……"

She chuckled, the bracelet on her wrist jingling.

"I'm afraid I can't even afford afternoon tea with the crew when I visit them on set."

"Not to mention that if you were together and he wanted to go with you, the money for a B&B in Hengdian would probably be enough for him to have a drink."

"Although compared to many people, he is very outstanding. He is such a young doctor and handsome, not inferior to many young handsome men in our circle, and he is also a good cook."

"But Ono, economic issues cannot be ignored."

"The income from any one of your ads might be higher than his annual salary, and you've just gained some popularity because of Shanhe Ling. You still have a long way to go, and if nothing unexpected happens, it will only get better and better."

"Although he has the title of doctor, his income is far less than yours."

Zhou Ye sat up straight abruptly and looked at her seriously.

"I do not care!"

"But men care."

Meng Ziyi gently smoothed the wrinkles on her skirt and showed her standard smile when shooting magazine covers.

"You should be able to see that although Jiang Qing has always appeared gentle, he clearly has his own pride. No matter who he's facing, he remains calm." "In the past, this wouldn't have been a big deal, but times have changed."

"Xiao Ye, we are all adults. We can't ruin our future acting careers because of a momentary obsession. You and Jiang Qing are from different worlds. Your journey has just begun."

"Jiang Qing is good, but he and you are not friends."

"Another thing is that your company won't allow you to have a relationship right now."

"The most important thing is, can Jiang Qing watch you film intimate scenes with other male actors?"

"Everything else is fine, but what if there are kissing and sex scenes in the future?"

"If he's also an actor, maybe he can understand you, or he might be capable enough to let you use a stand-in or a body double for all your intimate scenes."

"But obviously, he didn't."

The warm-colored wall lamp suddenly dimmed for a moment, and Zhou Ye fell into silence.

Zhou Ye stared at the white peony on the coffee table, and suddenly remembered the blue veins that bulged when Jiang Qing unscrewed the cap of the sour plum soup bottle in the afternoon.

"Tell me, if Jiang Qing becomes famous after the show airs, will he change his mind?"

"Maybe if he gets some attention, he'll change his mind."

"With his outstanding appearance, there should be many production crews trying to capitalize on his popularity and actively sending him scripts, right? Aren't there many such examples in the industry?"

Zhou Ye suddenly grabbed Meng Ziyi's wrist, his eyes full of anticipation, and the traces of tears were still clearly visible on his little face.

She hopes to get recognition from her best friend, even if it's just a little bit.

Meng Ziyi's pulse on his wrist suddenly jumped.

She turned around as if unintentionally, picked up the water cup, and took a big gulp.

A sense of guilt quietly surged in her heart, and Zhou Ye's behavior made her chest feel a little stuffy.

Why is this girl so stubborn?

Someone like Jiang Qing is not suitable for you!

You have just gained some fame and have a bright future with unlimited possibilities. Why do you want to fall for Jiang Qing?
If you stay with him now, you will only ruin your future, and Hesong will not let you go.

As your best friend, how could I watch you make such a big mistake and go astray?

Although you are not suitable for dating now, I am okay with it!

I've said so much, why are you still so stubborn?
"Xiao Ye, what you said makes sense."

The rim of the glass reflected Meng Ziyi's suddenly deep eyes, and she pursed her lips imperceptibly.

"There's still some time between the end of the Taohuawu recording and the broadcast. Just pretend that what happened today never happened and get along with him as usual. Don't confess your feelings to him or make it awkward for both of you."

"Like you said, maybe by then, his mind will have changed."

She narrowed her eyes, raised her hand and gently stroked Zhou Ye's little face, wiping away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

In this way, she still has time to win over Jiang Qing and make him fall at her feet!
Although Jiang Qing's income is not high, she is rich!
Besides, she has been in the industry for so many years, and the company will not care about her personal emotional issues.

"Yeah, I listen to you."

After getting the answer he wanted, Zhou Ye nodded repeatedly, and a smile finally bloomed on his face again.

She felt that Sister Meng was right, there was still time and there was still a chance!

Looking at her brilliant smile, Meng Ziyi also raised the corners of his lips and smiled brightly.

Ono, don't blame me. Feelings are always selfish.

If you can't grasp it, let your sister help you!
At this moment, a familiar dog barking was heard outside the door.

They both looked towards the door at the same time, and Chocolate ran in cheerfully, holding Jiang Qing's baseball cap in his mouth.

They knew that Jiang Qing was back.
