Chinese Entertainment: Becoming a Superstar After a Breakup

"Are you never going to stop? Can't a person get any sleep?" Dilraba was woken up by the noise. She was half asleep when the door was opened. At first it was fine, but then it started disturbing her rest. How could anyone sleep with all this shaking? She needed a way to enjoy herself and get some rest.

After a long while, the wind and rain finally subsided. Dilireba hadn't slept well last night. As soon as she entered the room, Shen Ze became restless, touching her inappropriately. After they had fused, they were quite harmonious. She fell asleep in his arms, but he was reactivated in the middle of the night, and that's how it is now. What is he thinking about all day long?

After fooling around for a while, he didn't go out until noon. He had lunch, and in the afternoon he went to a shopping mall to browse around. Then Shen Ze had to take Dilireba to the station to wait for the train.

"Every night at nine o'clock, you definitely won't be rehearsing until then. You have to call me. If you don't answer, you'll be waiting for me." At the station, Shen Ze was carrying a big bag of snacks, listening to Dilraba repeating the same instructions to him. Snacks were Dilraba's way of passing the time on the train. A journey of more than ten hours always required something to do.

"I understand." Dilraba was very satisfied with her boyfriend's answer. With a passionate kiss from Shen Ze, she boarded the train back to Shanghai.

Shen Ze touched the bloodstain on his lips. Where did he learn such a mess of things? Leaving a mark is fine, but biting his lip hurts a bit.

……

"Naza, you look so dashing." Military training has begun, and everyone is wearing the same camouflage uniform. Under the uniform, there seems to be a contrast in appearance.

Naza was the most dazzling one, but to Shen Ze's surprise, there was another girl with long, flowing hair, quite a goddess-like figure. Although not as refined as Naza, she was already among the top three in his class in terms of aesthetics. Her name was also very distinctive: Chen Xinxuan. (Plastic surgery isn't good these days; in their group photo back then, she was truly one of the most beautiful.)

She was a cheerful girl, but Shen Ze's biggest impression of her was her household registration. She was from Jiangxi, and Shen Ze was quite interested in finding out if the bride price there really started at 38.8%, or if it was a percentage.

Seeing that Na Zha had moved over, he greeted her and said that since he enrolled the day before yesterday, he had spent most of his time with Dilraba and hadn't spoken more than a few words to her. He hadn't seen her during the registration, but they had met during the self-introduction that evening. However, they hadn't chatted afterward because he was out looking for his girlfriend, so they hadn't had much interaction.

But she's fine now and can go back to normal. After all, she was once Shen Ze's backup plan, and she did dream about it, but that's probably impossible now.

Dilraba's move of coming directly to the school was a replica of the scene where he went to help her report for duty. The classmates were all gossiping, and everyone in the class probably knew that he had a girlfriend. When they picked up their clothes today, everyone teased him about it.

He didn't blame Dilraba. He had no intention of having an affair. He was already quite capable of getting a big star as a girlfriend. The fact that she cared was understandable. He was the one who acted first, so there was nothing wrong with it.

"Really? I had it tailored. Do you want to try it on? It's a slimming style," Gulnazar said. She had deliberately come to Shen Ze's side because she had a question she was very curious about.

"It can still be cut, nobody cares, but no need, I'll only wear it for about a month anyway, it's better to be loose, if it's too fitted, I'm afraid it will come undone if I do big movements," Shen Ze said.

"Yeah, you're pretty experienced. Someone told you that, is it your boyfriend?" Gulnazar took the opportunity to ask directly.

"I guess so." Dilraba had discussed this with Shen Ze.

"Sure, where is your boyfriend from? You said we were the best study partners, and you didn't even tell me about something as important as dating. I thought I had offended you somehow," Gulnazar said with a smile.

"No, why would you think that?" Shen Ze asked, puzzled.

"Why would I think that? Of course it's because you've changed so much. When we were encouraging each other before, you said you would help me move my luggage after I got into a university. I waited for so long the day before yesterday, but you didn't come."

"I finally saw you in the study room at night, but you didn't say a word to me. I even thought we weren't close. Were we video chatting a year ago? Did I do something wrong? Did I offend you in some way? I was even thinking of talking to you about it when we had a get-together, but you left again," Gulnazar said.

That's a bit of an exaggeration. What do you mean by waiting for Shen Ze to carry his luggage? She doesn't need anyone to carry it; her sister brought her here. She never intended to ask anyone for help. Besides, with her looks, she doesn't need to worry about anything else just because she's on campus. But this isn't a way of putting Shen Ze in a negative light; it's just an exaggeration.

"You didn't say a word? That's a bit of an exaggeration. I had something to do at the time."

"I know, your girlfriend sent you the news report. You told me directly, so I understand. You were afraid your girlfriend would misunderstand. You're a good man."

"Look, I didn't know anything. I only found out from my classmates. If you had told me earlier, I would have treated you to a meal," Gulnazar said.

"You're too kind. There will be opportunities." Shen Ze was a little puzzled. Why did Gulinaza bring this up? Wasn't she embarrassed? They were study partners back then, but he had expressed his feelings for her both openly and secretly. However, because they couldn't meet, their relationship didn't progress at all.

"That's good. Next time you come, be sure to let me know. We've been good friends for a year now. By the way, I heard that your boyfriend and I are from the same place?" Gulinaza asked, smiling at Shen Ze as she said "good friends." Shen Ze could sense that "good friends" had another meaning.

"It's not just from one place. You might still remember us. We took a photo together when we first met, Dilraba." Shen Ze said directly. He didn't want to bring it up, but Dilraba would definitely come to see him in the future, so he decided to be straightforward.

"Dilraba, hmm, that name sounds familiar. You're the girl who's a year older than me. Not bad, how long have you been together? You even came to our place in between, and you didn't even tell us." Gulnazar smiled, but she was already very dissatisfied.

Given the same amount of time they'd known each other, she couldn't believe that they'd only started dating during summer vacation. Was it possible that he was flirting with her under the guise of a study buddy while simultaneously pursuing her?

"She didn't go. We got to know each other when she went to school in Shanghai," Shen Ze said.

"You're still lying! You posted pictures of yourself from our area on your QQ space. Do you think I don't know you?" Gulnazar said.

"That happened a while ago, and it's not the same thing," Shen Ze said.

"So, you were pursuing me as a study buddy while simultaneously pursuing another girl, am I right? Or am I being narcissistic?" Gulnazar directly questioned, wanting to know.

That's right, it's a bit unbelievable that she went straight to Shen Ze. Sis, you're just so direct with some things, without any beating around the bush.
