The Rebirth of a Top Star

Shen Nanqiao seemed unable to finish her sentence; an inner voice told her what she needed to say.

With his back to himself, Song Shiyuan was practically using body language to say: I don't want to hear it!

Shen Nanqiao felt somewhat helpless. She took a step forward, still feeling that the misunderstanding was caused by her own mistake. For the first time, Shen Nanqiao took the initiative to try to appease the man in front of her.

She pinched Song Shiyuan's sleeve with her fingers, a gesture of weakness and coquetry.

Shen Nanqiao realized that Song Shiyuan actually wanted to shake or push her away, but considering the wound on Shen Nanqiao's wrist, Song Shiyuan refrained from moving.

"Don't be angry."

Shen Nanqiao was really not good at comforting people, so all she could say was this.

The two were brought very close together, and Shen Nanqiao could sense Song Shiyuan's suppressed breathing.

“I didn’t mean to say those things to you at the time, but I was forced to by the situation, you know?”

If Shen Nanqiao could disregard Song Shiyuan's thoughts, she would see that the image of Song Shiyuan being angry wasn't any of the words he spoke today, but rather the silhouette of them embracing.

Shen Nanqiao did not explain to herself why the two of them hugged, and she has not said anything until now, and has even been changing the subject.

Song Shiyuan had already realized that she didn't want to mention Dou Shiyan, who had inexplicably appeared here today, at all. She wanted to let it pass like the wind and pretend that nothing had happened.

Song Shiyuan grew increasingly angry; this woman hadn't grasped the crux of the matter at all.

"Do you have anything to explain?"

Song Shiyuan couldn't help but turn around and look at the pitiful Shen Nanqiao in front of him. He restrained himself from reaching out to hold Shen Nanqiao's shoulders.

"That wasn't what I really meant." Shen Nanqiao thought he wanted to hear that explanation, so she said it according to her own wishes.

The answer to one question only brought Song Shiyuan a sliver of comfort, a comfort that was only for himself at that time.

Now, he's more interested in knowing the whole story.

Shen Nanqiao didn't say anything, so he just kept watching without offering any advice.

He thought this matter would be very important to Shen Nanqiao, so he hid it very well and even managed not to say anything.

Song Shiyuan became even angrier.

"Are you really not going to say anything else?"

Song Shiyuan offered a veiled reminder.

Shen Nanqiao first shook her head, then seemed to suddenly remember something: "I went upstairs to look for you several times today but you weren't there. Why didn't you read the messages I sent you?"

Shen Nanqiao was wondering if he had been too busy today and only now had the chance to come back, without even having a chance to look at his phone.

Then Song Shiyuan said, "There's no reason, I just don't want to watch."

What a cold answer.

They successfully re-frozen the atmosphere that was about to thaw.

Shen Nanqiao was surprised. She looked up at Song Shiyuan. These were really Song Shiyuan's words, without even the slightest embellishment.

Shen Nanqiao observed Song Shiyuan's expression and realized that he wasn't joking.

Shen Nanqiao shut her mouth, thinking there was nothing more to say.

She gently released Song Shiyuan's fingers, giving him the instant to leave.

Watching the slender fingers slip away from her, Song Shiyuan's gaze was also drawn to the wound on Shen Nanqiao's wrist.

Seeing the wound made Song Shiyuan want to frown, yet he was torn between wanting the answer he desired.

Therefore, Song Shiyuan seemed very conflicted, at least for the short time he was there.

Shen Nanqiao opened the door, giving Song Shiyuan a chance to leave, and as expected, Song Shiyuan did indeed leave.

Shen Nanqiao watched the man going up the stairs. She thought to herself, "If you turn around now and apologize to me with an explanation, I'll give you a chance to be forgiven."

The man going up the stairs was thinking: If you call me back, I'll stay.

The moment the soles of his feet touched the first step, Song Shiyuan began to regret it.

His condition and attitude were terrible; Song Shiyuan couldn't even remember how he had behaved just now.

Clearly, no one backed down first. Shen Nanqiao watched helplessly as Song Shiyuan got further and further away from her until his figure disappeared completely.

Shen Nanqiao did not speak.

Staring blankly at the empty stairwell.

everything is over.

The silhouette and time have both receded further and further away.

Things happened so fast that no one could react in time.

Shen Nanqiao stood there for a long time, and during that time, no one knew what she was thinking.

She herself didn't understand what she was doing standing there.

Suddenly finding herself unable to breathe, Shen Nanqiao felt an emptiness in her heart amplified, and she felt all the blood rushing to her heart.

Even taking a deep breath couldn't save Shen Nanqiao from her displeasure.

She snapped out of her daze and went back to her bedroom.

Shen Nanqiao is not feeling well and needs to rest.

Lying in bed, Shen Nanqiao couldn't remember what work she needed to do tomorrow. In her daze, she also completely missed the set of keys Dou Shiyan had left behind.

Quietly sitting on the windowsill.

Since what happened that night, Shen Nanqiao hadn't sent Song Shiyuan a single message. Naturally, when Song Shiyuan saw his phone the next day, he had calmed down and looked at all the messages Shen Nanqiao had sent him.

He looked at it again and again, tirelessly, but his finger, which was on the send button, never pressed it.

After that sleepless night, he no longer cared.

She didn't care why she saw Dou Shiyan, who shouldn't have been there, at Shen Nanqiao's house, or what inappropriate things they did. Or perhaps it wasn't their fault, but rather that she hadn't knocked when she went in.

Song Shiyuan was no longer angry.

It was my fault. I shouldn't have acted rashly, shouldn't have disregarded Shen Nanqiao's actions, and shouldn't have been so unaware of the seriousness of the matter.

These were Song Shiyuan's reflections throughout the night.

Standing at Shen Nanqiao's door, Song Shiyuan didn't have the courage to knock.

The past seems to be getting further and further away from me, especially Shen Nanqiao's smiling face.

Song Shiyuan withdrew his hand, left the place, and returned to his own home.

Less than five minutes after Song Shiyuan left, Shen Nanqiao opened the door from the inside, followed by Xiao Ju, who was holding a skirt in her arms.

This is Shen Nanqiao's skirt hem.

Shen Nanqiao had an event tonight, so she went out. It was the first time she had worn a full black fitted dress in public, referencing and paying homage to the classic Audrey Hepburn look.

All the hair was gathered at the back of the head, leaving only a few strands floating lightly in the air.

Shen Nanqiao was wearing high heels, the height of which was the limit of her ability to walk normally. Although it was difficult, she looked really beautiful.

Shen Nanqiao touched the pearl necklace around her neck, through her gloves—black gloves with white lace trim that reached just to her elbows.

It not only perfectly matches today's outfit, making it undoubtedly the highlight of the day, but also conveniently covers the wound on Shen Nanqiao's wrist that hasn't yet healed.

The perfect female celebrity.

The moment Shen Nanqiao stepped off the nanny van, screams erupted from the crowd.

The overwhelming screams even drowned out the host's words. For the first time, Shen Nanqiao truly felt that there were still so many people who loved her.

At the same time, the online live stream screen was covered by bullet comments containing Shen Nanqiao's name.

It's no exaggeration to say that it's within sight.

The moment Shen Nanqiao's perfect face appeared on camera, everyone present became incredibly excited.

Many people in front of the camera were stunned by Shen Nanqiao's beauty, including Song Shiyuan, who had learned to pay attention to Shen Nanqiao's schedule. He waited for Shen Nanqiao to appear, watched for Shen Nanqiao to appear, and finally, he found Shen Nanqiao.

She is so beautiful.
