Chinese Entertainment: Becoming a Superstar After a Breakup

"Baby, I feel a little unwell, I need a hug." In early July, Shen Ze returned to his apartment from school and saw Dilireba lying there. He wanted to cuddle with her, but Dilireba spoke first.

"What's going on? Why is your face so pale?" Shen Ze looked at Dilireba; her complexion looked a bit off. What happened?

"Ugh, I don't know what unclean thing I ate, I've been feeling a bit unwell these past two days," Dilraba said.

"Let's go, I'll take you to the hospital." Shen Ze frowned, deciding to take a look anyway. He guessed it was probably because of work; she had been working unusually hard these past few days.

These past few days have been the peak of the popularity of "Swords of Legends," a TV series that became an instant hit from the very beginning.

The national viewership rating jumped from 1.57% to 1.73%, with a market share exceeding 10%, securing the top spot by a wide margin. Within 20 hours, online discussions surpassed one million, and the topic garnered over 500 million views, making the premiere an instant hit.

The male and female leads benefited the most, but Dilraba also gained tremendous exposure, and everyone in the company was happy about the hit broadcast of "Swords of Legends".

Although the TV series is not produced by Jaywalk Studio, the female lead and several supporting actors, such as Gao Weiguang and Dilraba, are all very important characters in this TV series.

"No need, I'm just tired these past few days and haven't been eating well. I'll just lie down and I'll feel better," Dilraba said.

"You still need to take care of your health. Don't ruin your body just to maintain your figure." Shen Ze patted her head.

"Haha, was it because you said you'd take me to the hospital that you wanted to tell me this, but you didn't want to scold me while I was feeling unwell?" Dilraba said.

"How did you know?" Shen Ze asked.

"I know you always tell me to eat well and rest well, and now I'm being called Fatty Di, it's all your fault," Dilraba said.

"Because I thought about it, and if you were lying here, I would say that," Dilraba said.

"You know everything, yet you don't care," Shen Ze said.

"It's okay. Have you watched TV? Did I act well?" Dilraba said.

"that."

"Stop, let me make this clear first, if you criticize my hairstyle, I'll kill you," Dilraba said.

"I haven't even said anything yet, and you're already telling me not to say anything." Shen Ze raised an eyebrow.

"So all you can say is complain, what else can you do? How can you be a boyfriend if you can't even support the ratings?" Dilraba seemed to have found Shen Ze's weakness.

"I can't help it, I like you too much and I get jealous easily. You and that senior brother have a romantic storyline, and even if I know it's fake, it still hurts me," Shen Ze said.

"Sigh, we haven't even gotten to that point yet, and I don't have an official partner," Dilraba said.

"I'm jealous too. I'm being generous enough. I remember when I was filming at the beginning of the year, Xiao Zongyao had a girlfriend. Didn't you still think about having me discuss revising the script with the director? You really think I'm capable?" Shen Ze said.

"They were just joking, um." Dilraba wouldn't admit it, even though she had mentioned the remote video during filming. She felt another pain in her stomach and couldn't help but cover it.

"What are you doing?" Seeing her like this, Shen Ze got up and put her shoes on for her.

"What are you doing? You don't look well. We should go check on you, just to be safe," Shen Ze said.

"Don't bother with all that, just drink some hot water. Fine, let's go then," Dilireba said, and then Shen Ze picked her up in his arms. It was a heartwarming moment, and she wished she could hold him like that forever.

hospital.

"Go get a check-up. Don't be too nervous, it should be fine." The doctor looked at Dilraba's condition and then immediately ordered an X-ray.

One hour later.

"You still need to eat normally, there's nothing wrong with it. Young people's diets are irregular, and if this continues, it can lead to stomach ulcers. Even if you don't care about yourself, you have to take care of the one inside you." After reviewing the scans, the doctor's words left Shen Ze and Dilireba looking at each other in bewilderment.

"You're pregnant," Shen Ze asked, finally understanding why he had asked when her last period had come.

"Yes, you're the child's father, right? Go back and take good care of the pregnant woman. She needs to pay attention to her diet during the first three months," the doctor advised.

"Okay, we'll be careful." Shen Ze pulled Dilireba out the door.

The two left the hospital, unsure of what to say. How did she get pregnant? They pondered this all the way home.

In my little nest.

"Baby, what should we do?" Dilireba asked Shen Ze.

"Reba, if you plan to stay, I can take responsibility. If you prioritize work, you don't have to. We all know this child wasn't part of our plan. It's all my fault," Shen Ze said, stroking Dilireba's hand.

According to the doctor and considering the time frame, the two already knew how the child came to be.

During Dilraba's birthday celebration, Shen Ze went to Hengdian to celebrate with her and stayed a few extra days. During those days, he didn't use any protection. He thought nothing would happen, but the timing was perfect, and that's exactly what happened during those few days.

"Let me think about it." Dilraba was conflicted. Actually, she didn't want the child, but saying that she would abort the child, which was still Shen Ze's child, seemed too cold-blooded.

However, the timing of this child's arrival was truly unfortunate for the couple. They usually took precautions, but who could have imagined that a single act of indulgence would lead to this?

In other words, no one saw it, otherwise Shen Ze would have been slapped countless times. That's good. You didn't bring it, but you took advantage of his anger and played around with him in various ways. Although the chance of something happening is small, both of you are in the healthiest state, so something could still happen.

Holding Shen Ze, Dilireba fell asleep. She was truly in a state of turmoil, at a loss for what to do. The two lay together, the lights went out, but neither of them closed their eyes.

"It's hot, and it's not even a person yet. Maybe we should just get rid of it." Shen Ze made the decision the next day at noon.

Actually, this decision was in line with what he and Dilraba had in mind. The two of them were not prepared at all, and they did not expect that she would get pregnant. It was just that they did not take proper precautions.

Furthermore, he subtly probed her, and while Dilraba didn't say no, she still mentioned her upcoming work plans. Clearly, the two had a tacit understanding, but someone had to voice it.

I don't feel guilty. It's been less than a month, and I'm not even human anymore. It just so happens that Dilraba was in poor health and pregnant, which caused stomach cramps that happened to be detected.

"I'll listen to you." Dilraba breathed a sigh of relief.

As a man, Shen Ze's decision, even if he knew that everyone had similar thoughts, was not a good one to let a woman say.

One day later.

"It's okay, it's okay, we can have more children in the future." Shen Ze comforted Dilireba. They acted decisively, but Dilireba cried after the surgery.

"Shen Ze, you bastard, if you treat me badly in the future, I'll kill you."
