Chapter 15

As the villainous second female lead, I shared many scenes with the heroine. Consequently, whenever Shen Sui waited for Lu Li, he inevitably saw me.

His expression was always sour whenever he caught sight of me.

My reputation on set grew even worse. Everyone whispered that the rumors on Weibo were true, claiming that Shen Sui was disgusted by the mere sight of me.

This tense atmosphere persisted until I finished filming all my scenes.

My final scene was a night shoot. By the time we wrapped, it was nearly three in the morning. I changed out of my costume and headed out.

I stood by the side of the road, waiting for the person Sister Zhou had sent to pick me up.

A pair of headlights cut through the dark, and I instinctively walked toward the car.

The window was rolled down halfway, and a hand holding a cigarette rested outside.

Sometimes, being too familiar with someone is a terrifying thing. With just a cursory glance at that hand, I knew it was Shen Sui.

His narrow eyes squinted slightly, as if he were scrutinizing me.

Just as I decided to turn and leave, he spoke up.

“I’ll drive you back.”

“No need. I have a ride coming.”

I never imagined that a day would come when I could speak to him with such complete indifference.

As if unable to suppress his frustration, Shen Sui took two drags of his cigarette, his chest rising and falling slightly.

“Jiang Zhi, you were the one who said you loved me.

“How can you just turn your feelings off like that?”

Shen Sui actually had very beautiful eyes. I used to stare at them often, but this was the first time I saw an emotion resembling sorrow in them.

I remained patient and told him, “Shen Sui, we broke up.

“You have a girlfriend now. Being loyal to her is your most basic obligation.”

He froze, and then a startling light flickered in his eyes.

“That’s not it. Lu Li saved my grandfather once. I was only doing this to repay that debt, and I’ve long since paid it back. These past few days… I came to see you, but you wouldn’t look for me.”

His lips thinned into a straight line, and he sat up a bit straighter, appearing nervous.

I didn’t know what caused this sudden change in him, but I found it utterly pointless.

“It doesn’t matter. My ride is here.”

He wanted to say more, but I had completely lost my patience.

“Don’t follow me like some pathetic loser.”

Seemingly wounded by the disgust in my eyes, he stiffened in shock.
