Chapter 368: 107. I laugh at Ye Shiyu’s lack of strategy, and Spencer’s lack of wisdom.

"All set, Miss Bai, please take a look."

In the makeup room, a lady wearing a mask tidied up her makeup tools while another pushed the makeup mirror in front of Bai Yi.

Touching the screen, the gentle light illuminated Bai Yi’s impeccably flawless face.

Her slightly disheveled bangs were put back in place, butterfly-like eyelashes fluttered open, framing her starry eyes.

After a quick glance, she smiled slightly and said,

"No problem, thank you."

"Okay, then we’ll go out and help. If you need anything, Miss Bai, just call us."

"Mhm."

The two ladies turned and left the makeup room. Bai Yi glanced at her phone—no messages had come in.

"Has the shoot not started yet?"

Seeing that Director Zhang had not yet sent a message about shooting the MV, Bai Yi stood up, planning to return to Yan Huan.

Leaving the makeup room and entering the corridor prepared for logistics, at that moment, a male voice came from the room next door.

"Are you saying the male lead in today’s MV shoot is the adopted son of Ye International’s Ye Lan?"

Hearing this, Bai Yi was slightly taken aback and looked in that direction.

The room was separated by a transparent glass partition and had a "Smoking Room" sign hanging at the door.

Two men in black suits and wearing Golden Lion Group badges were inside, enjoying their cigarettes while chatting.

The other man laughed in response to his companion’s words,

"Not just an adopted son, might as well be a raised husband."

"Raised husband?"

Not just the other companion, but Bai Yi, who was not initially interested in gossip and was about to leave, also paused upon hearing this.

She turned her head to look in the direction of the room while the two inside, their backs turned to the corridor, didn’t notice someone was eavesdropping.

The man who previously made the bold claim spread his hands and continued,

"Originally, Ye Lan had no intention of coming to watch Director Zhang shoot the MV, but then her daughter noticed that young man. Just leave it at that. You weren’t there at the time, didn’t see the expression that lady had looking straight at the young man from the side of the set... I’ll ask you, which sister would look at her brother with eyes that seem to devour him?"

Bai Yi’s pupils shrank slightly, naturally recalling the gazes Ye Shiyu had given both Yan Huan and herself.

That gaze...

The other man took a puff of his cigarette and sighed,

"That does make sense. But I initially thought that young man was Bai Yi’s boyfriend, seeing as they seemed quite compatible."

"Compatible? Is compatibility edible? Ye International’s daughter has taken a liking to the guy, what can Bai Yi, a small-time star, do against that?"

The man sneered, shaking his head dismissively,

"Bai Yi is still young, clueless about the wicked ways of society. Otherwise, with just a wave of their hand, her career as an artist could be hanging by a thread, that much is certain."

"That’s true."

Outside the smoking room, leaning against the wall, Bai Yi pursed her lips upon hearing these words.

Listening to their conversation, the feeling of inferiority and the urge to hide that once surged within her resurfaced.

But at this moment, she was alone. Where was there left to hide?

Thus, Bai Yi had to face reality.

After all, she did have a fondness for Yan Huan now.

Denied continuously by her mother, confused about stepping on stage and on the brink of collapse, it was Yan Huan who encouraged her.

She never had the courage to resist reality, only to flee; it was Yan Huan who took that step for her.

Without Yan Huan, her songs wouldn’t be as well-received as they were today.

Not to mention being signed by the Golden Lion Group, releasing songs, shooting MVs.

He took risks, helped her selflessly, changing her life...

So, having feelings for Yan Huan was quite normal, right?

But now the question was, what were Yan Huan’s feelings for her?

Probably just the normal feelings of a fan for an idol.

Normally, Bai Yi didn’t think there was anything wrong with that, she could just be more proactive, and let him slowly change.

As the saying goes, a woman chasing a man is only separated by a piece of gauze.

Even if starting as friends, there would still be opportunities.

However...

Thinking this over, Bai Yi’s mind conjured the impassive face of Ye Shiyu.

Her expressions were blank, but her eyes were like an abyss, sending chills down her spine.

Not only was she terrifying as a person, but her family background was almost insurmountable.

If such a person also liked Yan Huan, then she...

Thus, feeling the pressure from the other side, Bai Yi once again had thoughts of escape.

In the corridor, Bai Yi lowered her head, no longer listening to the two people’s conversation in the smoking room, and simply walked forward.

Her face turned slightly pale, her smile a bit forced.

While walking, she thought to herself,

"Since Yan Huan doesn’t have those kinds of feelings for me, it’s fine to just maintain a normal idol-fan relationship. Why force it?

"Besides, with Ye Shiyu being so formidable, there’s no need for me to compete with her. I’m poor and have nothing; I can’t compete with Ye International, better to seek peace..."

The smile on her face seemed somewhat strained though.

Because as she thought about it, Bai Yi suddenly remembered that day at the comic expo.

Then, standing on stage, she faced a sudden onslaught of song accompaniment, equally panicked.

It was her own song, one she poured her heart and soul into, but because the actual performance differed from the rehearsals, not as her mother wished, she was almost scared enough to flee from the stage.

At that time, it was Yan Huan’s simple "I’ll take responsibility" that calmed Bai Yi’s frantic heart.
