Chapter 10

After finishing the recording, I posted a Weibo update.

I post to Weibo every Thursday. It’s a promise I made to my fans, and I’ve never missed a week.

I waited a few minutes and refreshed the comments.

In addition to my fans, there were plenty of harsh voices in the comment section.

[That little couple gave you enough face already. Don’t do anything that causes misunderstandings in the future.]

[Shen Sui and Lu Li are a match made in heaven; you’re just naturally unworthy. Did you see that shot where President Shen took one look at you and his face turned absolutely hideous? Stop being so annoying and just focus on acting.]

[Sister, you’re so beautiful! I’m dying! This is a tornado destroying a parking lot! This is an antelope kick, a goat jump! Angry octopus! Giant axe chopping a big tree! Go completely crazy! Completely crazy! Completely crazy!]

[Bad woman, bad woman. Please don’t ruin that couple’s relationship. I’m begging you, I’ll kowtow to you-thump, thump, thump, thump.]

…

I gently stroked the bracelet I had just taken off, just as I had done many times before.

They say love makes even plain water taste sweet. This bracelet, which I once thought was so beautiful, now looked incredibly ordinary.

So very ordinary.

The Shen Sui I loved might have just been a product of the filters I viewed him through.

Stripped of the layers I had projected onto him, he became dull and uninteresting.

I was about to toss it into the trash, but after a moment’s thought, I stopped.

Instead, I listed it on a second-hand website to let it serve one last purpose.

My phone chimed. Shen Sui, who hadn’t contacted me in days, had sent a message.

[If you don’t come back now, don’t ever come back.]

I had been moved out of his house for so long, yet this was the only message Shen Sui had sent me.

After thinking it over, I replied:

[I’m coming over right now.]

He didn’t reply again.
