I don't care about dating reality shows or the entertainment industry!

On the rooftop, a cool breeze was blowing and the stars were twinkling.

Su Youzi and Duan Xingye sat at a marble table and chairs, enjoying a late-night snack while admiring the beautiful night view.

"So beautiful..." Su Youzi exclaimed, gazing at the starry sky.

“Yes…” Duan Xingye also looked up at the night sky, his deep eyes reflecting the starlight.

Su Youzi recalled the girl with the broken leg she had met in the ancient town that afternoon, her eyes filled with desolation.

Duan Xingye noticed the change in her emotions.

"What's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"

Su Youzi shook her head slightly.

"You once asked me why I went on a dating reality show."

Upon hearing this, Duan Xingye put down his cutlery and looked intently at Su Youzi, waiting for her to continue.

"Actually, I was forced to go on the dating reality show by my mom." Su Youzi smiled bitterly. "She said that these days, you can make money by creating a couple image to promote products."

Duan Xingye frowned slightly.

"Are you deliberately acting so annoying?"

He could tell.

Su Youzi is not as materialistic and superficial as she appears on the surface. Deep down, she is actually very kind and innocent.

Su Youzi smiled sadly, her eyes slightly red.

"I want to leave the entertainment industry; I want to escape all of this."

"Do you know? All the money I've earned over the years has gone to my mother. She uses my money to buy cars and houses, and to support my brother's eating, drinking, and entertainment, but she has never thought that I am also their child."

As she was talking, Su Youzi suddenly laughed again, a laugh tinged with helplessness.

"They never care whether I'm happy or tired, they just want me to keep making money so I can be their ATM."

"I've had enough of this life, I want to live for myself..."

"I thought that as long as I was annoying enough in the dating reality show and became universally disliked, no investors or directors would ask me to act again."

"But pretending like this every day is exhausting..."

Su Youzi sniffed and forced a smile.

But the tears in the corners of her eyes wouldn't stop, and they rolled down one by one.

This was the first time Duan Xingye had ever seen Su Youzi so vulnerable.

Like a wounded kitten, she makes you want to hold her in your arms and comfort her.

"This afternoon in the ancient town, there was a girl selling handicrafts. She only had one leg..." Su Youzi choked up, her voice trembling.

"I thought to myself, she must have suffered a lot, but she smiled so brightly, so optimistically, and so positively about life..."

Su Youzi took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down.

“I suddenly realized that I don’t need to go through all this trouble to get rid of my family of origin. I’ve already contributed so much money to them.”

Su Youzi burst into laughter through her tears, her eyes still glistening with tears, yet shining as brightly as the stars in the sky.

"To hell with blood ties! Don't try to morally blackmail me anymore."

Done.

As if a heavy burden had been lifted, her eyes and brows shone with a bright radiance.

Duan Xingye's deep eyes were filled with heartache.

A girl who, despite being wronged, still smiles brightly.

He felt as if a huge boulder was pressing down on his heart, making him feel extremely heavy.

Even breathing became difficult.

Finally, he couldn't bear it anymore.

He slowly reached out and gently touched Su Youzi's cheek with his fingertips, tenderly wiping away the tears on her face.

"Doesn't it feel better to say it out loud?" His tone was incredibly gentle.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Su Youzi grabbed his sleeve and used it to blow her nose without any hesitation, then looked up at him.

Her smile was even brighter than a rainbow after the rain, as if all the gloom had been swept away.

"Ugh, it's so dirty." Duan Xingye frowned, feigning disgust, but the doting look in his eyes was impossible to hide.

Su Youzi smiled mischievously, a smirk playing on her lips.

"We didn't have any tissues..." she blinked, looking completely innocent.

"Do you still want it?" Duan Xingye sighed helplessly.

He stretched out his arm, adopting a "do whatever you want" stance, and said with a wry smile:

"It's all dirty anyway."

Su Youzi revealed a sly smile and blew her nose again without any politeness.

She raised her head, her eyes shining like stars.

"I'll wash it clean for you later. If you're not satisfied, I'll get you a new one."

Duan Xingye chuckled softly.

He joked, "This dress of mine costs over three thousand yuan, do you have the money to pay for it?"

Su Youzi raised an eyebrow, a mysterious smile playing on her lips:

"Although the money I earn as an actor doesn't go into my pocket, I have a side business. Three thousand yuan is nothing to me."

"What side hustle?" Duan Xingye asked curiously.

Su Youzi playfully made a "shh" gesture, her eyes gleaming with mischief.

"Hehe, you already know too much. Be careful, or I'll kill you!"

After saying that, she pretended to slit her throat, which made Duan Xingye laugh out loud.

The atmosphere became much more relaxed.

"From now on, if you're ever unhappy about anything, you can tell me," Duan Xingye said earnestly, looking into Su Youzi's eyes.

"While I may not be able to solve your problems, I can be your listener."

"Thank you," Su Youzi said sincerely. "You're such a good person."

"Friend card?" Duan Xingye raised an eyebrow, deliberately misinterpreting Su Youzi's meaning.

"Get lost!" Su Youzi laughed and punched his shoulder.

The night was gentle, and the two people's cheerful laughter echoed on the rooftop.

Duan Xingye glanced at his phone; it was already 3 a.m.

"It's getting late, let's go back."

The two returned to the kitchen.

Duan Xingye tidied up the kitchen and poured the remaining scraps of the late-night snack into the trash can.

Su Youzi stood aside, watching his busy figure.

After cleaning the kitchen, Duan Xingye escorted Su Youzi back to her bedroom.

We arrived at the door.

Su Youzi pointed to his clothes and said in a low voice, "Take these clothes off, I'll wash them for you."

Duan Xingye looked down.

There were traces of snot on her sleeve from when she blew her nose earlier.

It was dirty, but he didn't feel disgusted at all.

"Then help me take off my clothes." Duan Xingye smiled and raised his arms.

Su Youzi was stunned for a moment, and her cheeks gradually became hot.

She glared at him, her voice stammering, "No, if you're not going to take it off, then wash it yourself."

Duan Xingye chuckled softly.

Grab the hem of your clothes with both hands and pull them up.

His well-defined chest was gradually revealed to Su Youzi.

Su Youzi unconsciously swallowed, her heart inexplicably racing, but on the surface she remained calm and composed.

"Taking off clothes is such a dawdling process, and there's nothing to see anyway."

She tried to remain calm and joked.

But her gaze couldn't help linger on his muscular abs for a few more seconds.

"Okay, you should go to sleep now. I'll wash your clothes for you."

"Then I'll have to trouble you." Duan Xingye smiled and ruffled her hair.

Su Youzi watched his retreating figure and couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

This man,

Who knows which fairy will benefit from this!
