The Rebirth of a Top Star

Shen Nanqiao just wanted to ask Zheng Yiyi why her hair had suddenly grown long. Obviously, Zheng Yiyi wouldn't say anything in front of the camera.

Shen Nanqiao gave up and stopped talking. She immediately changed the subject.

Zheng Yiyi and Shen Nanqiao were together, and the two groups of staff who had gathered together took turns resting. Everyone was scattered, either sitting or standing, gathered together.

This was a small outdoor bench, and Shen Nanqiao was sitting under a parasol. It wasn't noon yet, and most of the people passing by were working people. Even if they saw Shen Nanqiao and the others filming, they would just glance at them from afar and then hurry on their way. No one stopped to watch.

Shen Nanqiao looked at Zheng Yiyi and said, "What should we do now?" Shen Nanqiao hadn't actually made any plans for the rest of the trip.

Zheng Yiyi knew Shen Nanqiao's idea from the beginning, thinking only of getting together and going wherever they wanted. Of course, she was not the kind of person who was unprepared. Zheng Yiyi took a sip of the coffee in her hand and awkwardly used her fingers to comb the stray hairs that were falling on her forehead.

She still wasn't used to having long hair.

Zheng Yi suggested that they go to the surrounding shopping malls later. It had been a long time since she had been to a physical store to shop openly. Shen Nanqiao actually missed her school days when she didn't have to worry about pretending.

Shen Nanqiao quickly agreed to the suggestion. When Zheng Yi saw that Shen Nanqiao was still holding the cup in her hand and hadn't even opened it, she asked, "What's wrong? Is it not to your liking?" Actually, the camera was only filming from a distance, so whatever they said wouldn't be recorded.

Shen Nanqiao turned her head to the side, indirectly covering her mouth, and said to Zheng Yiyi, "I just finished a cup this morning, I can't drink anymore."

Zheng Yiyi nodded knowingly and dropped the subject.

There were fewer people passing by than before, probably because this place is close to the city center business district, and the white-collar workers have already arrived at their posts.

Shen Nanqiao thought that everyone was the same. They needed to get up early to get dressed, and Shen Nanqiao and her group also needed to get up early to get ready for the shoot. It was just that one group lived their own lives.

They, however, live only in the lens.

The glamorous appearance that can be seen with the naked eye is all fake.

Shen Nanqiao has been prone to daydreaming lately. Zheng Yi waved her hand in front of her eyes, but when she didn't get a response, she called out again.

Shen Nanqiao finally realized what was happening. "What did you just say?" Shen Nanqiao hadn't noticed.

Fortunately, the photographers over there didn't look over either; they just set up their cameras from a distance without disturbing their conversation.

Zheng Yi then asked again, "I mean, do you know what Gu Ning has been up to lately?" This question actually caught Shen Nanqiao off guard. Only then did Shen Nanqiao realize a problem she was prone to making.

That is, once they get busy or have a lot of free time, they won't take the initiative to socialize or contact others. Fang Zihe in the past and Gu Ning now are the same.

According to Shen Nanqiao's plan, her next meeting with Gu Ning, barring any unforeseen circumstances, will likely be during the promotional period for this drama.

Shen Nanqiao recalled her previous refusal to cooperate with that other party. Looking at her good friend in front of her, Shen Nanqiao didn't know whether she should tell Zheng Yiyi about these things.

She had a feeling that Zheng Yiyi's long hair was probably related to Gu Ning. After thinking for a moment, Shen Nanqiao answered Zheng Yiyi's question: "I don't know either. I haven't seen her in a long time. The last time I heard about it was when their team talked about the collaboration."

When Shen Nanqiao uttered the word "collaboration," Zheng Yiyi knew what it meant. They were all in the industry, and although Zheng Yiyi mainly worked in music, she was well aware of what people in the entertainment industry did.

"You two have never even met before you collaborated?" Zheng Yiyi herself didn't realize how jealous she was when she said that.

Shen Nanqiao really wanted to ask her if she was willing to hide anything from the camera during the show, but now that she was in front of him, she wasn't willing to hide anything at all.

Perhaps Zheng Yi noticed the smile on Shen Nanqiao's face, and realizing that what she had just said was inappropriate, she quickly tried to make amends: "I just need to talk to him about something."

Shen Nanqiao continued to pretend, and before she knew it, she was holding her coffee cup and taking a small sip.

“I didn’t agree to the cooperation.” Zheng Yi’s eyes lit up, but she spoke with restraint: “Why? Isn’t this a win-win situation?”

This was the second time Shen Nanqiao had heard the term "win-win" before.

When Xiaoju learned that she had been rejected, she asked herself the same question.

Shen Nanqiao recalled how she had answered back then. Looking at Zheng Yiyi in front of her, she didn't hesitate but answered directly: "I don't want some people to misunderstand."

The way Shen Nanqiao said it was so ambiguous that Zheng Yiyi didn't even consider what Shen Nanqiao meant by cooperating with Gu Ning. She asked in shock, "Are you talking about Dou Shiyan?"

Her voice was a little loud, and a staff member not far away looked over in the direction of the sound. Shen Nanqiao gestured for her to lower her voice.

Zheng Yiyi covered her mouth in surprise again, "No way, are you two serious?"

All Zheng Yiyi knew was that Gu Ning was always following behind Shen Nanqiao on the show, and then there was Dou Shiyan, who was particularly direct later on. Zheng Yiyi had never seen any other men around Shen Nanqiao.

Shen Nanqiao shook her head, indicating that it was not.

Zheng Yi was genuinely at a loss. She was very curious and wanted to find out what was going on, but the staff member who had just heard the sound had already come over and indicated that the two of them could begin the next part of their trip.

Zheng Yiyi finally suppressed her curiosity, and the two of them stood up and smoothly moved on to the next part of their journey.

The two had lunch outside, and Zheng Yiyi went home with Shen Nanqiao.

After entering the house, Zheng Yiyi waited for the staff behind her to come in, then closed the door and praised Shen Nanqiao's home decoration: "Your decoration is really good."

Since the cameras were on, Shen Nanqiao didn't explain directly. She just told them to sit on the sofa and went to pour water for Zheng Yiyi.

The camera then followed Zheng Yiyi as she briefly toured the common areas of Shen Nanqiao's home.

The first time we came, everyone was too shy to take pictures directly, but now, following Zheng Yiyi, we did take some simple pictures.

This is actually their task for today, because everyone is curious about the lives of celebrities. First, they are curious about what celebrities do in a day, and second, they are curious about the environment of celebrities' homes.

No one wouldn't be curious.

When Shen Nanqiao came out, she saw Zheng Yiyi looking around curiously, with the camera following behind her, filming her curiously.

Shen Nanqiao placed the water glass on the coffee table in the living room and stood aside without saying a word.

I packed everything yesterday; it only contained my own belongings.
