The Rebirth of a Top Star

Shen Nanqiao found a good spot and took Dou Shiyan, who was unfamiliar with the area, out to find food.

Shen Nanqiao didn't look for anything fancy, just a small restaurant on the street outside the school where she was in school, but the online reviews were very good.

Dou Shiyan was dressed in a suit. He followed Shen Nanqiao, who was dressed casually, into the store. His inappropriate attire stood out in the eyes of those around him, and several girls kept turning their heads as they sat down at the table.

Shen Nanqiao saw that Dou Shiyan didn't seem embarrassed at all, and he was quite used to having such attention on him.

It was only then that Shen Nanqiao remembered to ask Dou Shiyan about his suit.

Shen Nanqiao had never seen Dou Shiyan in a suit before.

While waiting for the food after ordering, Shen Nanqiao asked curiously, "Did you deliberately wear a bespoke suit to show off in front of me? Or did you not have time to go home and change clothes after returning to China?"

Shen Nanqiao was genuinely curious.

Dou Shiyan glanced at her, looked at the steaming noodles brought out from the kitchen, split a pair of chopsticks, and rubbed them together a few times as usual. "I only set foot on the soil of my motherland at noon today."

Ignoring the way Shen Nanqiao was looking at him, Dou Shiyan started eating his noodles as soon as they arrived, without being polite to Shen Nanqiao.

Shen Nanqiao then realized that Dou Shiyan had come straight over as soon as he landed. Looking at the simple little table, she felt that she should treat Dou Shiyan to a big meal to match his long and tiring journey back.

Shen Nanqiao, feeling a little embarrassed, asked Dou Shiyan if they wanted to eat somewhere else.

As Dou Shiyan slurped his noodles, more and more eyes turned to him. Dou Shiyan seemed to anticipate what Shen Nanqiao was about to say and refused her before she could speak.

"Let's not play those games between us. I have plenty of traps waiting for me when I get home tonight."

Seeing this, Shen Nanqiao stopped talking and just ate her noodles silently after they arrived.

Shen Nanqiao wasn't hungry, so she didn't eat much.

Dou Shiyan finished the large bowl of food completely, not even leaving a drop of soup. Satisfied, he raised his head and complained to Shen Nanqiao, "You really don't know, there isn't a single good airplane meal on domestic airlines. I've been starving ever since."

The tone with which Dou Shiyan complained to Shen Nanqiao after he finished eating was exactly the same as when the two of them chatted two years ago. Shen Nanqiao suddenly felt a little nostalgic for the past.

That was a past I had never lived through.

Actually, my relationship with Dou Shiyan is strange; it's a kind of trust born from a chance encounter.

You can't directly deny that the two aren't friends. But if you say they are friends, their relationship isn't as close as that of other friends.

The fact that the two met can only be described as a coincidence.

After dinner, Shen Nanqiao had to coax Dou Shiyan to leave, but in the end, his family called to urge him to go back. Shen Nanqiao could sense Dou Shiyan's low mood without even looking up.

He seemed to have no desire to go home.

When Shen Nanqiao looked up to speak, Dou Shiyan had already returned to normal and even smiled as he said goodbye to Shen Nanqiao: "Remember to close the door properly next time."

There weren't many pedestrians outside at the moment. Shen Nanqiao slowly walked back. The door had been replaced during the time she wasted in the afternoon, and she had also informed the landlord.

Shen Nanqiao is now holding a brand new key in her hand.

Night slowly fell, and the daytime heat subsided. Shen Nanqiao, still wearing only the daytime suit, suddenly felt a chill.

Shen Nanqiao glanced at the time and quickened her pace to walk back.

Shen Nanqiao's phone chimed, and she looked surprised. She really didn't know where Wu Miaomiao had found her number.

The inexplicable message was sent to Shen Nanqiao, and she could understand it; it was blatant mockery.

The implication was that Shen Nanqiao, like herself, sought the adoration of older men and couldn't live without a powerful backer.

Shen Nanqiao smiled as she looked at the woman, wondering when she had gotten involved with her in this life.

Besides, Shen Nanqiao chuckled inwardly, Song Shiyuan was no old man.

They're very young.

Shen Nanqiao didn't take Wu Miaomiao seriously. Now that she's already starting to degenerate, how high can she possibly go in the future?

Shen Nanqiao picked up the key and clicked open the door, turning off her phone in the process.

Before going to bed, Shen Nanqiao habitually opened a website, where all sorts of information, both valid and invalid, were mixed together, and she had to carefully distinguish between them.

Shen Nanqiao's eyes stung from staring at the screen.

I closed my eyes and leaned against the headboard.

"It's really unpleasant to be unemployed at home," Shen Nanqiao thought to herself, closing her eyes.

When I opened my eyes again, I felt much better than I had a few seconds ago.

Shen Nanqiao continued swiping her phone; the mobile phone truly is one of the most useful tools created in this century.

Suddenly, an inconspicuous message caught Shen Nanqiao's eye. At first glance, it was just a joke promoted by a marketing account.

Shen Nanqiao knew for certain that this was real news, or rather, news that was about to be officially released.

"Love Daily Life" is a reality dating show featuring celebrities.

Although everyone knows that celebrities participating in dating reality shows are mostly just putting on an act.

However, everyone who watched it with such thoughts was stunned by the beautiful love story in it, and became completely obsessed with it.

Shen Nanqiao also took a look at it, following the trend, and indeed, the concept was novel.

Shen Nanqiao was somewhat tempted.

Even if the actors who participated in that variety show later became less famous, they still gained a certain level of recognition in the public eye.

The more Shen Nanqiao thought about it, the more excited she became.

The entire dating reality show filming spanned a long period, employing the latest live streaming and post-production editing techniques, and was filmed and broadcast simultaneously.

Moreover, the work location does not need to be fixed, and the working hours are flexible.

There's no need to elaborate on the salary issue, but Shen Nanqiao was certain in her heart that as long as she could participate in this variety show...

It will be very beneficial to your career and all your future work.

Shen Nanqiao acted immediately. She picked up her phone and sent a message to the agent in charge.

Shen Nanqiao wasn't surprised by the lack of a reply. Song Shiyuan had already settled things, the entertainment company was undergoing a major reshuffle, and Du Junyi was extremely busy.

Shen Nanqiao's finger hovered over the secretary's number and his own number that Song Shiyuan had left for him, moving back and forth between them.

It doesn't seem like a good idea to contact Song Shiyuan directly; he's abroad, which would be very troublesome.

But this secretary doesn't seem very reliable either.

Shen Nanqiao considered it repeatedly.

In the end, my finger dialed back to Song Shiyuan's number.

After two beeps, it was already dusk here. I wonder what the time difference is like on his end.

Shen Nanqiao was still in a daze when the call was quietly connected.

It was quite noisy around Song Shiyuan, with people talking all around. Shen Nanqiao was stunned for a second, and before she could open her mouth, she heard someone calling Song Shiyuan's name in Chinese.

Shen Nanqiao's words, which she wanted to say directly, were stuck in her throat.

"What are you doing?" Shen Nanqiao asked this pointless question out of the blue.

Song Shiyuan first explained to the person on the other end that he was on the phone, and then asked Shen Nanqiao what she had just said.

As the noisy sounds on Song Shiyuan's phone faded into the distance, Shen Nanqiao guessed that he had left the crowd.

But suddenly she lost the urge to speak. "It's nothing, I was just asking when you're coming back. My show has been suspended," Shen Nanqiao said softly, a topic she hadn't even considered bringing up.

Song Shiyuan was also a little puzzled. He had only been out for two days when he stopped. He wanted to say a few words of comfort, but he didn't know how to start.

I just felt really strange.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Shen Nanqiao felt she had made a fool of herself. She only said one last thing, "You're busy, I'll go now. Sorry to bother you."

Song Shiyuan stared at the phone that had suddenly been disconnected, the beeping sound echoing in his ears. His intuition told him that something was amiss.

Just as he was about to raise his hand to call back, the girl who had just called his name walked over from behind.

Song Shiyuan looked at Gu Leyi approaching him. She was dressed provocatively, perfectly blending into the style of this foreign land.

If it weren't for his distinctly Chinese face, no one would find it surprising.

Gu Leyi leaned closer to Song Shiyuan, smiling sweetly, "Brother, I said I'd introduce you to my Boyfirend, but how can we meet now that you've left?"

Song Shiyuan looked at the handsome man gazing at Gu Leyi from afar, a clear look of displeasure flashing in his eyes.

This isn't so much about his rumored girlfriend's dating situation, but rather an older brother's dissatisfaction with the bad men his sister has been dating.

Song Shiyuan's gaze shifted to Le Yi's face, and seeing the large portion of her waist exposed in her clothes, he couldn't help but take off his own coat and drape it over her shoulders.

"When have you decided to come back to China with me?"
