On a certain afternoon six months later, Hai Tang put down the dessert in her hand and picked up her phone, casually browsing through social media.
She scrolled through the screen, various entertainment news, gossip revelations, and funny videos flashing before her eyes like a revolving lantern.
Suddenly, a post from a marketing account caught her attention with its eye-catching title and exaggerated images: "Top Ten Confusing Events in the Entertainment Industry of 2023." The bold letters seemed to carry a strong whiff of gossip, compelling her to click and explore further.
Hai Tang quickly skimmed through the content, the chaos of the entertainment world unfolding before her. Infidelity, feuds, scandals, and failures—various melodramatic plots played out in succession, leaving her dazzled as if she were immersed in a bizarre dream.
Then, three words leaped out at her: "Yu Baixue." Like a lightning bolt slicing through the night sky, they made Hai Tang's heart tighten. A complex mix of emotions surged within her—sour, sweet, bitter, and spicy.
"Yu Baixue, plagued by negative news such as being difficult to work with and unprofessional, has ultimately faced a boycott from the entire internet, causing her career to plummet. Truly NotDoingItMeansYouWon'tDie," read the marketing account's sharp and merciless commentary, piercing Hai Tang's heart like a sharp knife.
In her mind's eye, Hai Tang recalled Yu Baixue's figure. It was a sunny afternoon when they met in the makeup room of the film set. Yu Baixue wore a simple white T-shirt and jeans, her face lit up with a radiant smile as she enthusiastically greeted her: "Hello, I’m Yu Baixue." At that time, Yu Baixue shone brightly and was full of ambition, like a rising star surrounded by admirers wherever she went. Meanwhile, Hai Tang was just an unnoticed background character, playing inconsequential roles in low-budget web dramas—small and insignificant like a speck of dust.
They acted together, chatted together, and shared their dreams. Yu Baixue encouraged Hai Tang to pursue her dreams relentlessly and assured her that success would come one day. Hai Tang felt nothing but envy and admiration for Yu Baixue, yearning for the day she too could stand under the spotlight and bask in public attention as a shining star.
However, fate is unpredictable. Years later, due to a series of negative headlines, Yu Baixue fell from grace—her reputation tarnished and career in shambles. In contrast, Hai Tang unexpectedly received an opportunity to collaborate with Jing Yu; her career began to flourish as she stepped closer to success.
Hai Tang couldn't help but reflect on the unpredictability of life; it was like a play. The admiration and yearning she once felt had transformed into sympathy and regret. She set her phone aside and turned to Jing Yu, who was still speaking confidently with a warm smile on his face—a radiant sun filled with warmth and strength.
A wave of gratitude surged within Hai Tang; she felt thankful for Jing Yu giving her this opportunity to realize her dreams and progress further along her acting journey. She silently resolved to cherish this chance, work hard to improve her acting skills, and not let Jing Yu's expectations down—determined to become a true star.
"Hai Tang, what are you thinking about?" Jing Yu's gentle voice interrupted Hai Tang's thoughts, like a spring breeze brushing over her heart.
"Nothing," Hai Tang replied, coming back to reality. She smiled faintly at Jing Yu, trying to mask the turmoil within her. "I just suddenly thought of some things."
"What things?" Jing Yu asked with concern, her eyes filled with warmth and care.
"Some things from the past," Hai Tang replied vaguely, unwilling to elaborate, burying those complex emotions deep inside.
Jing Yu did not press further; she simply held Hai Tang's hand gently, offering her strength and support, like a towering tree shielding her from the wind and rain.
"Don't dwell on it; let the past be the past," Jing Yu said softly, her voice like a gentle stream nourishing Hai Tang's heart. "What matters is the present and the future."
Hai Tang nodded, casting aside those complicated feelings and focusing on the happiness before her, like a joyful little bird soaring freely in the sunlight.
At that moment, the host shifted the topic back to Yu Baixue, asking Jing Yu if she would consider collaborating with her.
Without hesitation, Jing Yu firmly rejected the idea, her tone resolute and unwavering like an unmovable rock. "I will not collaborate with her, never."
Looking into Jing Yu's determined eyes, Hai Tang felt a profound sense of security, like a small boat that had found a safe harbor—calm and serene. She knew that Jing Yu truly loved her and would protect her from any harm.
After the live broadcast ended, Hai Tang and Jing Yu left the event venue. The bustling crowd gradually faded away, and the city's lights began to dim.
On their way back to the hotel, Hai Tang suddenly asked, "Jing Yu, do you really not know Yu Baixue?" This question had lingered in her mind like an unsolvable mystery.
Jing Yu fell silent for a moment, as if contemplating how to respond, then said, "I know her, but we don't have any connection."
His voice was deep and calm, like a bottomless lake, elusive and hard to decipher.
