"Oh, have you seen the movie I acted in?" Yu Jinghong was a bit surprised to encounter a fan of her own. Although the movie she starred in during her junior year had a decent reputation, it wasn't particularly famous.
"Yes, the character Yingying was just too beautiful!" Jiang Yizhou wouldn't mention that he had watched that movie in his past life, and it was specifically because Yu Jinghong had a scene with intimate content that he went to see it. His feelings while watching that scene were simply a version of "Put down that girl, let me take over."
This was also one of the rare instances where a female character displayed a youthful side.
"I wonder why Sister Yu didn't continue acting in movies?" Jiang Yizhou's fan-like demeanor made Yu Jinghong, who had just vented her frustrations, feel a bit embarrassed.
Her earlier crude behavior was entirely a result of her inner turmoil. Now that she had calmed down, she suddenly felt that her actions might have been a bit excessive.
Yu Jinghong awkwardly pressed her thin lips together. "After I graduated from Beijing Film Academy, I stayed on as a teaching assistant for a while, then went to study in Los Angeles. But I should be back in the country this year! I plan to start acting again then!"
Listening to her explanation and glancing around, Jiang Yizhou suggested with slight apprehension, "It's not appropriate to stand here on the street. How about I give you a ride and we find a café to chat properly?"
However, the woman's next words shattered his hopes. "Ah, I forgot! My friend is still waiting for me to pick up the car at the parking lot! I'm sorry! Let's meet again when we have time!"
With that, she hurriedly crossed the street, leaving Jiang Yizhou with only her retreating figure.
"..." Jiang Yizhou felt somewhat pathetic; being scolded by her made him think that this was her true nature. Perhaps it was his past life’s fondness for the beauty that came with time that gave him some tolerance and affection!
In short, he realized he was just an obsessive fan.
But she really wasn't as beautiful as he remembered; Yu Jinghong looked twenty but seemed thirty, and even at forty, she still looked thirty. The older she got, the more beautiful she became.
"Is this what they call fortune and misfortune intertwined?" Jiang Yizhou chuckled softly, feeling that his earlier bad mood about having his camera stolen had vanished.
Yan Yutong had originally come along with a friend to watch a movie and stroll around afterward. However, when it ended, she waited for her friend to bring the car over. She ended up waiting for twenty minutes. If her phone hadn't run out of battery, she would have definitely called by now. There were no payphones nearby, so she couldn't leave this place either.
Seeing the slowly approaching car stop in front of her, Yan Yutong opened the door and got in, somewhat complaining to Yu Jinghong, "What took you so long to get here?"
Yu Jinghong felt a bit embarrassed, as the situation was somewhat strange. "I got into a car accident; I was bumped by another car..."
"Really? Really? Are you hurt?" Yan Yutong immediately asked with concern, while checking her friend for any injuries.
Yu Jinghong was a bit annoyed. "What are you doing? If I were hurt, could I still be sitting here? Stop it; I'm still driving!"
After being scolded by Yan Yutong, she felt it was pointless but reluctantly withdrew her hands. "So what exactly happened?"
Yu Jinghong stopped the car and straightened her clothes that had been messed up by her friend before continuing, "This time, don't interrupt me. What are you doing?"
"Okay, okay, I promise to listen to you!" Because of her mature appearance, Yan Yutong always liked to tease her friend by calling her "old lady."
Yu Jinghong shot a sideways glance at Yan Yutong and glared at her for a moment before continuing, "It wasn't a big deal; I just got bumped from the side and fell down. The driver was also Chinese and even a fan of mine..."
"So you two..." Immediately, Yu Jinghong's gaze turned sharp, and Yan Yutong made a gesture as if zipping her lips. "You go on!"
"I didn't know what was wrong with me at the time; I just got angry and yelled at him, even kicked his car a few times. I was worried that the compensation might be higher than the repair costs for his car and that I would have to pay out of pocket. But unexpectedly, he recognized me right away and offered to compensate me and wanted my autograph. I felt a bit embarrassed!"
Yan Yutong chimed in, "I'm so envious! Our amazing diva actually has fans now! By the way, do you know what his name is?"
Yu Jinghong could only shoot her a look while driving before continuing, "No, he wanted to invite me later. I panicked and came with you instead; since you were waiting for me, I left without asking. But he seemed to have given me a business card."
"Where is it? Where is it? I want to see!"
"It's in my bag; you can get it yourself!" Yu Jinghong didn't mind. Yan Yutong was always like this—very proactive in everything she did.
Yan Yutong took out the business card that was placed together with the check, but she was first attracted by the check. It wasn't that checks were particularly rare; in America, they could be used for everything from large transactions to buying a breakfast at a fast-food restaurant, essentially functioning as cash.
What shocked her was the amount on the check—Five Thousand Dollars. "Jinghong, you weren't hurt at all? You even scolded that person and kicked his car, right?"
"What's wrong? Is there something wrong? Is the check fake?"
"That person seems to really be your loyal fan! Otherwise, he might just be showing off, but one thing is certain: he’s a wealthy person!" Yan Yutong handed the check to Yu Jinghong, who was driving. "To casually pull out this much money, he must be a rich second generation studying abroad or traveling! How nice would it be to catch such a golden son-in-law!"
Yu Jinghong didn’t respond to her teasing. Yan Yutong was different from her; Yu Jinghong came from a well-off family, while Yan Yutong had worked hard to get where she was now. However, Yan Yutong was very straightforward and bold, which was why Yu Jinghong was willing to be friends with her.
"If you think he's good, I can help you make a connection. He invited me too; what do you think?" Yu Jinghong joked as she put the check back in her bag.
"What use would that be? He’s your loyal fan; with you around, how could he possibly notice me?" Yan Yutong retorted and picked up the business card that had information in both Chinese and English.
"Jiang Yizhou? Ailis e? Why does this name sound so familiar? I feel like I've seen it in some newspaper; it must be from a big company. Aren't you going to find out more? You've been in America for three years, and you act like such a good girl; it's no fun!" Yan Yutong made a note of the information on the card and continued chatting with her friend.
"What are you talking about? Am I someone who loves to play? If you want to go, go ahead! I'm not going!" Yu Jinghong had already returned to her usual quiet demeanor, as if the person who had exploded earlier wasn’t her at all.
