A heartbeat, a lifetime

Chapter 51: Extra Story: Supporting Role (2)
She was shocked, only high-end custom-made clothes have no brand, and the customer's name will be embroidered by hand in an inconspicuous place-but how could there be such a classmate in school, but she didn't know anything about it?
The boy didn't notice the gaze beside him, but just watched intently a cart full of books passing through the door of the reference room, even with a tense expression.She followed his gaze, and happened to see the profile of the girl pushing the cart. There was a bang in her mind, and memories flooded her.

They have very similar faces. She once had a younger sister named Su Yan.

The boy sat for a while, looked at the time, and finally left.

When Qin Mou saw his watch, her heart beat again. She also stood up slowly and followed him to the door.

A car was parked downstairs in the library, and the young man sat in the back seat, with the headlights flashing, and drove straight into the distance.

Qin Mou memorized the string of license plates, went back to the electronic reading room, and searched for it with the mood of giving it a try.

Unexpectedly, the result came out very quickly. In the Roewe post bar, someone posted: "Did Mr. Xiao Shen change his car? The license plate ends with ×××?"

Shen Qinjun... Rongwei...

It seems that she still has some remnants of these names, but she still can't remember them.

When Qin Mou came home on weekends, when he was watching TV with his parents, he casually asked, "Where is that cousin Yanyan when I was young?"

Mother handed her the fruit, sighed and said: "I was sent to the orphanage back then, and now I should be at the age of college. I don't know if the illness has recovered."

"No one cares about her?"

"The Shen family in Rongwei has been taking care of it?" Mom said in an uncertain tone, "I don't know how the past two years have been."

"Mom, why did you resign from Rongwei at that time?"

The parents looked at each other and replied nonchalantly: "Your cousin has passed away, so it doesn't make sense for us to stay there."

It took Qin Mou a month to finally confirm that Shen Qinjun was really silently caring about Su Yan.He came to the library on Mondays or Wednesdays, because she was on duty during that time, but Su Yan, who was a work-study student, obviously didn't notice.

While he was observing her, Qin Mou was also observing Shen Qinjuan seriously, and checked a lot of information about him.

Often looking at his handsome profile, I couldn't help but think, in terms of power and status, this man is not the same as the half-baked "rich second generation" she knew before, but why, he Is it this low-key and forbearance to secretly watch the seemingly ordinary Bai Xi?
Or is it because of... the origin at that time?
It was also at that time that she met Li Xin who was excluded in the company.

Talking about the things he wanted to go out and do alone, Qin Mou was eager to try, "Sister Xin, shall I go out with you?"

But her contract at that time was too tight, even if she was very satisfied with her appearance and figure, Li Xin couldn't help her unilaterally terminate the contract.Qin Mou finally thought of a way out of desperation. She still had the set of emeralds in her hand, and she asked Li Xin to sell them. She took a sum of money and slapped herself the hardest.

She still remembers the feeling of waking up from the anesthesia and dying of pain.I drank liquid every day, and it took nearly three months until the swelling subsided.But when the effect appeared, she saw that the curve of her jaw was no longer so sharp, and her eyes became slightly round, and she knew that the last chance had come.

If Shen Qinjun was destined not to be close to Bai Xi, then he would not reject her.

After returning to school, Qin Mou asked Li Xin to find a chance for her to get to know Shen Qinjun.

Li Xin had heard of this name before, but he only sneered and said, "Others might, but Shen Qinjun might as well forget about it. He's notorious for not taking oil and salt, and he's really bothered by such occasions."

Qin Mou drew a small dress on her body, smiled lightly and said, "Sister Xin, he won't bother me."

Everything went as smoothly as expected, Qin Mou was sure that when Shen Qinjun saw him, a trace of surprise and confusion slipped in his eyes.She just stood there, trying to show restraint and indifference, she thought, he would definitely remember her.

That night, Shen Qinjun really sent her back to school and exchanged contact information.She mustered up her courage and called him the next day, begging him for help.On the other end of the phone, Shen Qinjun agreed to help her negotiate the contract without the slightest hesitation. At that time, she was in her dormitory, facing the strange face in the mirror, and suddenly didn't know whether to be happy or sad.

Mom and Dad naturally saw about her plastic surgery, but they didn't ask too much, because they were all ordinary, kind and honest people, and they didn't understand her daughter's pursuit and ambition.She only occasionally mentioned to them that it was Mr. Shen from Rongwei who helped her terminate the contract.But the expressions of the parents suddenly became serious, and the father who never spoke seriously even said: "Yiyi, you must not have too much contact with the Shen family."

She was puzzled.

They finally spoke out about the past.It turned out that when they went to Su's house to help Su Yan organize things, they saw Su Xiangyang's personal letters.The letter stated that due to the error of his experimental data, the Roewe molten steel accident resulted in the death of both Shen Qinjun's parents.

"Does the Shen family know?" Qin Mou's heart beat fast and anxiously. If he knew, it wouldn't make sense for Shen Qinjun to care about Bai Xi so much.

"I'm afraid I don't know. We took the letters back secretly at the time, and some of the plain ones have been burned. Well, the rest of the cryptic ones are still here." Mom also found out the letters. "Yiyi, but there is no guarantee that one day they will find out, and they will take revenge on us!"

"So when Su Yan was sent away, you resigned immediately?"

The parents nodded in acquiescence, Qin Mou knew that they were ordinary and timid, so he only smiled comfortingly, "I see."

But she was different from them.

How can she get the things she wants without working hard or taking risks?

What she wanted, without Shen Qinjun, how could she get it?

So there was the scene in the hotel, knowing that there was something in that glass of wine, and knowing what the ambiguous eyes of Shen Qinjun's friends meant, she still drank it without hesitation.

The air conditioner in the suite hissed with cold air, she covered half of the quilt, and heard the sound of him walking in.

Only by burying half of your face in the pillow can you conceal the tension and anxiety at the moment. Qin Mou waited for the man's cool fingers to untie his dress, and pressed his slender body...

But no.

He just stood quietly for a while, covered her with the quilt, and said softly when he left: "Fortunately, she won't come to this kind of place."

He clearly heard the sound of a heart falling, not falling into the abyss, but falling on this man.

She knew that she had lost, not to ambition, but to him, Shen Qinjun.

Since then, what Qin Mou did was not to become more popular, to receive better advertisements, or to make better movies.She just wanted to work hard until one day, she could stand by his side.

Acting, getting engaged, regretting the marriage, acting again...

In this story, Qin Mou always knew that he was only a supporting role, but he was not reconciled to being a supporting role.

She didn't tell anyone the truth, even though Sister Xin was filled with righteous indignation, she always felt that Shen Qinjun had failed her and stood up for her time and time again.

She could only dissuade her manager, because only she knew - in this play, Shen Qinjun never faced her existence, it was she who had exhausted all means and couldn't extricate herself.

In the dead of night, Qin Mou would toss and turn thinking of Shen Qinjun who was beside Bai Xi, so strange that she didn't know him.

Shen Qinjun, who was decisive in doing things, was entangled in the choice of text messages to her and the choice of birthday gifts, vacillating left and right, indecisive.

Shen Qinjun, who has a tough style and doesn't allow the slightest scandal to appear in the newspapers, can take the initiative to invite actresses to cover her, and intentionally release news to Entertainment Weekly.

Shen Qinjun, who always looks calm, treats each crisis as a slightly difficult math problem, and breaks it down step by step, will be absent-minded when eating, and he, who has always been well-mannered, will actually drop vegetables on his clothes several times in a row , just because Bai Xi and Mai Zhendong were sitting in the outer hall at that time, behaving intimately.

She eventually gave up.

had to give up.

Because he loves her so deeply, even if he can't face the tragic past, he can't accept others anymore.

Later, at a certain banquet, Qin Mou found out about Shen Qinjun's journey to Africa, where he stood in the minefields and lived and died with Bai Xi, and was in a daze for a while.People around said it was too exaggerated, but she knew it should be true.

Someone walked over with a wine glass and called out softly, "Miss Qin, I have long admired you."

The man in front of her had good facial features, but she smiled frivolously. She was introduced by someone else, "This is Mr. Sun Jingsun..."

Qin Mou saw undisguised interest in this man's eyes, raised the corners of his lips and smiled, and said "Hello".

Soon, the two were inseparable, announcing their marriage, which became the most sensational news in the entertainment industry that year.

Now, she can comfortably lean on the sofa, choose movie scripts as she likes, and accept luxury endorsements... But Qin Mou knew very well:

In this life, even though she has stood at the top of the pyramid and is looked up to by so many people, she still hates one person inexplicably.

Su Yan has had countless toys and beautiful dresses since she was a child.

She was loved by Shen Qinjun with all her energy, but she forgot everything about Su Yan.

……

Near noon, Li Xin called and asked excitedly, "Have you read the script of "Twins"? I think this movie is very good, and the director has a good reputation."

Qin Mou changed his clothes and was about to go out, turned on the speakerphone, thought for a while before saying, "I won't answer."

Sister Xin wanted to persuade her a few more words, but she lightly brushed her eyelashes and said flatly: "I don't believe in that script. Because... If I were that older sister, I would rather never have such a younger sister."
