Chinese Entertainment: Becoming a Superstar After a Breakup

Gulinaza's questioning came too directly and too quickly. According to Shen Ze's thinking, the normal behavior is that a girl is reserved. Even if she senses your pursuit, if you don't end up together, shouldn't she pretend that nothing happened?

Most women would rather miss out than take the initiative, even if they have a slight liking for someone, they wouldn't actively show it. How come it's different with Gulnazar?

That being said, he does seem to be very assertive. He met someone once and then suddenly became their study buddy for no apparent reason. He must be really desperate for friends.

However, the two do share the same goal, which is the main reason why he and Nazar became online friends.

He did show interest, but he never said "Let's be together." He just fantasized about going to school together. At the time, he hadn't won over anyone, so he naturally had to make preparations in various ways.

If Naza isn't stupid, she'll definitely notice, but there's no room for ambiguity between them, and there's very little they can do through a video call.

But who could have imagined that at this moment, Naza would actually question him? At first, he thought he was wrong, but Naza directly pointed out that his pursuit of her in the manner of a study partner was indeed a bit unlike that of a typical girl.

However, this is very important to Naza. She may not care much about Shen Ze's pursuit. Many people pursue her, but when you pursue someone, you are not single-minded. I didn't know that, so I didn't care. But now that I know, do you think I can remain calm?

She's always been the kind of person who's beautiful and aware of it. It's so hard for a pretty girl to be beautiful without realizing it. And she's not stupid either. Wherever you go, there will be a bunch of people who will give way to you. You'd be a fool not to know that.

In her view, Shen Ze's behavior was an attack on her charm, and a particularly blatant one at that, especially since the person he was pursuing was the wrong one.

If you were pursuing someone I didn't know, that would be one thing, but you met each other in the same setting, and in the end, you pursued her, right? What does that mean? That I'm not as good as her?

I wouldn't say I'm completely defenseless, but I have a feeling of being deceived. He showered me with sweet words online, but in real life he's incredibly proactive with another girl, right?

She wouldn't consider things like how far away she was from XJ; this wasn't a game of putting herself in someone else's shoes. All she knew was that she had been deceived by someone else's feelings. She knew that during the most difficult time of her studies, Shen Ze's encouragement had sometimes touched her, and she thought that if they could really meet, maybe she would give him a chance.

Now look what's happened! You wanted to give him a chance, but he's already out all night with another girl. Isn't that infuriating?

She gets angry when she thinks about how he showed affection for another girl while pretending to be a study buddy. "What do you take me for?" she thinks. "No woman is happy when she's being considered, especially if she hasn't been chosen and is considered a loser."

She wouldn't have paid attention to anyone else, and this was a good opportunity to see the scumbag in him. But the most important thing is that this is a classmate, someone she'll see every day in the future. Seeing him reminds her of this incident and her own foolishness, which is unbearable.

So when she learned some information, she asked directly. She wasn't exactly a good-tempered person and wanted to expose the scumbag's true colors. Thinking about being his study partner for a year, she felt she had wasted her time. Studying was tiring. She wasn't a top student; like Shen Ze, she had to review. This year had been very tough for her.

"Why aren't you saying anything? Or do you just consider me a study buddy and I'm just imagining things? Am I overthinking things?" Gulnazar saw that Shen Ze didn't respond and gave him another heavy blow.

"Naza, I never thought you'd think of me like this one day, but there seems to be some misunderstanding." Shen Ze was a little embarrassed. You asked so directly, how am I supposed to answer? How can I be polite, sis?

"What misunderstanding? You can say I'm overthinking it." Gulnazar waited for his answer.

"Okay, then I'll say it. I'm not that shameless. I'll pretend that what I did never happened. I admit that when I first saw you, you really did steal my heart."

I admit that I liked you, but you know the situation between us. There are obstacles between us, and this distance is not only on the map, but also psychological.

Being thousands of miles apart is not a problem, but what reason do I have to go to your city? I think about you day and night, but I have no reason to see you.

I know I can't hide it from you. A complete stranger who's only met once, suddenly seeking out a pretty girl as a study partner—his motives are obvious.

But I didn't dare to bring it up. I was afraid of scaring you. I wouldn't believe that someone I'd only met once could have such intense feelings for me if I hadn't experienced it myself.

Longing, inner turmoil—but eventually, I realized that I'm just an ordinary person. I'm easily swayed by lust; I'm a very vulgar person.

You are beautiful, and I like you—that's the cause. God let me meet you, but I can only watch you from afar—that's the effect.

I know that it's unlikely that things will work out between us. To you, I'm just someone you've met once and are somewhat familiar with.

I convinced myself that it was time to change. You were all smiles over there, while I was lost in my own thoughts, which affected my future and made me unable to concentrate on my studies. For a while, I was in a very bad state, as you should know.

"From that moment on, my thinking changed. Some things should be left to their own devices. You didn't overthink it, and you weren't just imagining things. I did like you," Shen Ze said.

He was still somewhat tactful, mentioning his own problems. It wouldn't be good for him to directly shift the blame to Naza, but if he stubbornly insisted that he hadn't said he liked her, then he would be despising himself.

This statement makes it clear that I like you because of your looks. I'm being cliché, but I have to put my feelings for you first, otherwise I'll just provoke resentment.

"You mean you like me, right? And because of the distance, you can't date me, but you can date another girl who lives in the same place as me. Am I right?" Gulinaza wanted to laugh. Do you think I'm stupid? No matter how sincere you are, in the end, I'm still the one who gets rejected.

Some things are better left unresolved; the more you dwell on them, the angrier you get. If you weren't together, she might not care even if she heard this news, but it's already happening right in front of her, so it's impossible for her not to care.

"You can't say that; it's very complicated."

"So, it's my fault. I even affected your studies, but she didn't. I'm sorry." Gulinaza was about to continue her rant when she suddenly realized something was wrong. Why should I get so worked up? What if this kid misunderstands that I like him? He can have his way. She's not angry because of a man. I can't let this happen. The main thing is, other people are coming.

"I understand," Shen Ze said magnanimously.

"You'd better always understand, right, Shen Ze?" Gulinaza smiled. You just wait, does your girlfriend know that you used to pursue me?

She wants to trace the timeline, but it's clearly not the right time now. However, you'd better not pursue me before pursuing her, or you'll be in big trouble.

"Yes." Shen Ze felt that Gulinaza's smile was a bit off, but he was probably overthinking it.
