Chinese Entertainment: Becoming a Superstar After a Breakup

Chapter 117: Ran Away Again

"Is it sweet?" Dilraba forcefully pushed Shen Ze away and asked. This kind of scumbag is susceptible to this kind of thing. He can't resist just a little bit of his beauty.

"Sweet." Shen Ze was a little embarrassed. He had been a bit too pretentious before, and the other person had lost herself with just a little temptation.

You can't blame him. They broke up in early June, and tomorrow is National Day. It's been a full four months, and he really hasn't been near any beautiful women. If a top-tier beauty suddenly comes along and tempts you like this, and you don't have any thoughts, are you even a man?

"I won't even let you eat sweets. You're shameless and disrespectful to me. You broke up with me, why didn't you just tell me directly? Do you think I care about you? You just left on your own. Do you have any sense of responsibility? You could at least send me a text message, just say something. Why didn't you leave a single word and just disappear?" Dilraba said.

She really wanted to say something, but she just left without saying a word. Do you know how much that hurt people?

"I left you a letter," Shen Ze said.

"What letter? I didn't receive it." Dilireba refused to believe it. She had never seen the letter. Shen Ze had just felt too constrained and had only gone away for a while. Even if she gritted her teeth, she wouldn't accept it.

Shen Ze was a little helpless. With your behavior, you still want me to explain things to you? You didn't read the letter, so how did you know I was breaking up with you? Why didn't you contact me? I was afraid to say it to your face. You pulled this on me, so how could we break up?

"It's all in the past now," Shen Ze wanted to say.

"It's not over, Shen Ze. You said you owed me for life. I never said it's over, so it's never over." Dilraba's eyes immediately turned red. Shen Ze always managed to evoke the strongest emotional fluctuations in her.

"You like it, right? Here, take it." Dilraba pushed Shen Ze to the bedside.

"It's hot, don't do that," Shen Ze said. Even though he was feeling emotional, he held back at this moment. He couldn't move around and had to behave himself.

"Fine, you want to put on an act, huh? Go ahead and try." Dilraba scoffed, "What are you trying to pretend for? We've only known each other for a day."

Shen Ze was a little vulnerable at this moment. There was nothing he could do; his weakness had been repeatedly exploited. Dilireba was right; you can't pretend to be something you're not.

"Baby, I miss you." Especially Dilraba's voice, which brought back memories of their time together. He couldn't hold back. As he took the initiative, the expression on Dilraba's face, that feeling of complete confidence, made him realize that even if you weren't being honest, it was very honest.

After a long while.

"You didn't perform as well the first time, but you were much better the second time. You haven't had that kind of performance in a while, have you?" Dilraba asked, leaning against Shen Ze's chest.

"Hmm." Shen Ze hummed in response, but his confidence was lacking. He hadn't performed very well the first time, but he had managed to tie the score. There was nothing he could do about it; he hadn't had any life outside of work for a long time, so he felt a bit sluggish. The second time, however, he performed normally and gave it his all.

"What do you think our relationship is right now?" Dilraba asked.

"Friend," Shen Ze said, then felt a sharp pain in his chest. Oh well, this wasn't the first time tonight. His shoulders and arms were covered in teeth marks, some even bleeding. She truly hated him.

"Fine, keep being stubborn. I paid for your money, you know that." Dilraba had no choice but to give up.

"I know," Shen Ze said.

"Why didn't you call and ask me?" Dilraba asked.

"Didn't you say I owed you?" Shen Ze replied.

"You still have some conscience. You didn't tell me where the penalty for terminating the contract came from?" Dilraba asked.

"It came from my family." Shen Ze was taken aback for a moment before saying this. He didn't believe that Dilraba and Shen Yan were close enough to talk about this. She probably wouldn't even dare to ask. No matter how good their relationship was, they would never talk too deeply about money.

Of course, the demolition compensation is very transparent and doesn't count. Dilraba even used this money to get involved with Shen Ze, so even though the amount was quite large, she wasn't worried about it.

She even hoped that the money would never come back. Although it wasn't a good thought, she wanted Shen Ze to owe her something she could never repay. She wanted to be entangled with him for the rest of her life; she was simply unwilling to accept it.

Shen Ze lied without any guilt. They had already broken up, but that didn't mean they would get back together. Besides, if he really told her, given her current state, he would be tormented. If Dilireba knew, it would be impossible for her to react the way she does now. If she knew that he had asked Nazha for money, she would not be acting the way she does now.

"Go to sleep," Dilireba said, then felt a lightness in her body. "You think you can just go to sleep like that? What do you take me for?"

"Don't think I'll be convinced by this. I haven't forgiven you yet." Dilireba's words fueled Shen Ze's determination. It's good that he hasn't forgiven her. You're very tempting, but I'm really scared. You're too vengeful. We haven't even gotten back together yet, and you're already treating me like this. If we do get back together, you can torment me for half a year if I hide something from you. If I break up with you, you'll probably cut me with a knife.

At four in the morning, Shen Ze tiptoed away with his suitcase, while Dilireba didn't fall asleep until after three.

"Sis, I'm leaving now." In the hotel lobby, Shen Ze saw Shen Yan, who was still dazed.

"So early? Wasn't it supposed to be an afternoon bus?" Shen Yan yawned. He wasn't curious about where Dilireba had gone. They were all adults; why pretend?

"Leave early. Oh, and tell her I'm sorry," Shen Ze said.

"What do you mean? You didn't get back together?" Shen Yan suddenly snapped out of her daze.

"No, she didn't say, and neither did I. This meeting has made us even more certain that our previous problems are fundamentally unsolvable. I can repay what I owe her, but continuing to drain each other is too exhausting for both of us," Shen Ze said.

He could bring it up naturally, as if the meeting was a good thing, that he hadn't done anything wrong, that she was a good person, but that she was just too vengeful. He knew about Dilraba's perfect plan: marriage and children, with names and genders already decided.

He had ruined her perfect plan, so it was normal for her to be angry. Mutual torment was revenge. He had regretted it, wondering what if he hadn't hidden it. But now he understood that things couldn't always go as planned. What had already happened, he could only do once, not twice.

He didn't like it this way, but it seemed like this was the only way. He was afraid that if things continued like this, Reba's obsession would get out of control. When she was with him, her emotions were always running high, and she herself was very tired. This time, he was just more certain of this.

"No, Shen Ze, you two didn't get back together. You... never mind, you tell her yourself," Shen Yan said.

"Sis, if it's not suitable, it's not suitable. I'm leaving. Um, if you're going to Qingdao, you can come by yourself. Sis, please help me out. Um, I'll buy you a house in Beijing next year, okay? Bye." Shen Ze left, using this method to repay Shen Yan.

"Don't brag. Housing prices in Beijing are so high. Just buy your own first." Shen Yan felt a warmth in her heart. Although she didn't plan to have one, the fact that her younger brother had this idea made her feel that all the pampering she had done for him was worthwhile.

"What? He ran away again?"
