The Rebirth of a Top Star

Back home, Shen Nanqiao didn't say anything. She just found a corner to sit in and read the script that she had already worn out.

The window seat is comfortable now, not too cold. As soon as Shen Nanqiao returned, I started packing. Apart from the bedroom and some essentials, Xiaoju will arrange for a moving company to clean and move everything else.

Shen Nanqiao is no longer the same person she was when she first moved in with nothing.

Wang Xiaotong couldn't help but lean closer to see what Shen Nanqiao was like; Shen Nanqiao looked slightly irritated.

Wang Xiaotong simply sat back down on the sofa and didn't speak to Shen Nanqiao for a long time, afraid of disturbing Shen Nanqiao's state of mind.

Shen Nanqiao continued like this for a long time, until finally she couldn't help but turn around and look at the person who was ignoring her and playing on their phone alone.

Finally, Shen Nanqiao couldn't hold back any longer and spoke up, "You really don't care about me at all."

Perhaps it was a conditioned reflex from before, but Shen Nanqiao felt uncomfortable if she didn't experience her best friend's annoying behavior. Upon hearing the voice, Wang Xiaotong glanced at Shen Nanqiao lazily before speaking: "Is that so? I've already ordered takeout, and it will all arrive in two minutes."

The two outstretched fingers were especially cute, and Shen Nanqiao burst out laughing.

She stood up and wasn't so gloomy anymore. She walked over to Wang Xiaotong and asked, "Why don't you come with me to move this afternoon? I'll take you with me wherever I go."

Wang Xiaotong thought Shen Nanqiao was angry because she went up to chat with that man, but she really didn't expect it to escalate to moving house.

“If you don’t want to be his neighbor, there’s no need to move.” Wang Xiaotong never believed that a breakup meant the girl should move out.

Shen Nanqiao had already started contacting Xiaoju on her phone to ask her to come over, before she looked up at Wang Xiaotong who was speaking: "Is it possible that the apartment we're living in now belongs to the big boss upstairs?"

"Ah..." Then everything makes sense.

This time, Wang Xiaotong really didn't say anything.

Shen Nanqiao and Wang Xiaotong had a truly indulgent meal together. Shen Nanqiao hadn't eaten high-calorie foods like hamburgers and fried chicken since she came back, and she really didn't expect Wang Xiaotong to order such delicious food.

"Don't you need to control your figure lately?" Shen Nanqiao remembered that people who came from this film crew all had very high standards.

Wang Xiaotong casually replied, "I don't need it. The director said I'm too thin."

It's true, comparing yourself to others is just plain frustrating.

Shen Nanqiao took a big bite of the hamburger in her hand, and her gaze towards Wang Xiaotong was not friendly.

Wang Xiaotong just chuckled and said nothing more.

Once a person makes up their mind, they can do anything very quickly.

In just one afternoon, Shen Nanqiao had packed all her things, including the suitcase from Wang Xiaotong that she had brought with her yesterday and hadn't touched.

Finally, Shen Nanqiao and Wang Xiaotong left first in the car, with Shen Nanqiao forced to endure Wang Xiaotong's resentful gaze.

Shen Nanqiao recalled what Wang Xiaotong had said just before she left: "I came to seek refuge with you, but I didn't expect to be a laborer accompanying you on your journey."

Shen Nanqiao returned Wang Xiaotong's smile with a chuckle.

The location Xiaoju chose for Shen Nanqiao was a quiet little apartment, which was surprisingly close to the city center. This was something Shen Nanqiao had never expected. The location was excellent, the security facilities in the community seemed okay from the moment she entered, and the landscaping was also very nice. In short, it was a comfortable retirement community.

Shen Nanqiao was very satisfied. What she was most satisfied with was that Xiaoju had chosen a small two-story detached house. This kind of detached house gave people a feeling that large single-level apartments could not provide. So far, Shen Nanqiao was very satisfied with every place she saw.

The moving company that Xiaoju contacted had already piled up Shen Nanqiao's belongings at the door, just waiting for Shen Nanqiao's next instruction.

Even though Wang Xiaotong was reluctant, he slowly came down to help. Before dark, Shen Nanqiao had already piled all the furniture that needed to be moved in into the living room.

Last time, the move was truly a move-in-ready experience, but this time it's a real moving experience. Although there aren't any large items, the place is very messy, and many of the small things are things that Shen Nanqiao didn't even know when she bought.

While tidying up, Wang Xiaotong thought a key belonged to Shen Nanqiao and almost put it away. It was only when Shen Nanqiao saw it that she realized it was the key that Dou Shiyan had left there so long ago.

Shen Nanqiao put the key away in her bag. Song Shiyuan didn't go back to return the key that time. She just sent a message: "I know you have your own key, Mr. Landlord. The house key is left at the door. You can come and check it when you have time."

Song Shiyuan did not reply, and Shen Nanqiao was not waiting for Song Shiyuan to reply to her. She did not have any hope at all. If Song Shiyuan saw it ten days later when he was in a good mood, Shen Nanqiao would not think there was anything wrong with it.

Song Shiyuan, who pretended not to see anything and did not reply, is now sitting downstairs in his empty house. All the facilities are still there, but the scent of his presence is gone.

Song Shiyuan sat alone on the sofa, not expecting Shen Nanqiao to act so quickly.

Shen Nanqiao happily sat at the still unfinished dining table with Wang Xiaotong and Xiaoju, eating the food they had brought back from outside. It was Wang Xiaotong who suggested that they go out for a walk to see what facilities were available outside.

Shen Nanqiao then went out. Although she hadn't done much moving, she was still so tired. She wanted to close her eyes and fall asleep immediately, and she didn't even want to leave the food she was chewing in her cheeks.

Shen Nanqiao asked Xiaoju, "Why don't you stay here today? The driver has already left, and it's not safe for you to walk on your own."

Shen Nanqiao suggested.

Xiao Ju was thinking seriously and hadn't had a chance to reply when Shen Nanqiao suddenly remembered and asked, "Have you talked to Sister Junyi about moving?"

Xiao Ju glanced at Shen Nanqiao, then at Wang Xiaotong who was clinging to Shen Nanqiao, and said, "I've already told Sister Junyi, and she knows everything."

Then Xiaoju added, "Sure, I'm happy that Sister Nanqiao is willing to take me in."

Jing Tanqing, who was sitting with Du Junyi and looking at her phone, couldn't help but pick up her phone and show it to Du Junyi, hoping to interpret her boss's meaning from a woman's perspective.

Du Junyi glanced at it and frowned as well.

A minute ago, Song Shiyuan sent a message to Jing Tanqing that read: "Find a moving company tomorrow to help me move all my things from upstairs downstairs."

The words "upstairs" and "downstairs" together made Jing Tanqing wonder what her boss was up to, but Du Junyi, who knew Shen Nanqiao's whereabouts, understood the situation better.

She pulled Jing Tanqing by the neck, wanting to explain what had happened, but the sudden close gaze made Jing Tanqing unable to hear what Du Junyi was saying. He grabbed his girlfriend's chin and kissed her directly.
