Chapter 131: Chapter 131: Boss Shen Came to the Set Because of You

Her changes all seemed to be because of Boss Shen.

Su Tutu gently prodded, "The last time Boss Shen visited the set, did something happen between you two?"

Qiao Xi nodded, "Yeah."

That was indeed the crux of her issue.

Qiao Xi had indeed been lost for a long time recently, completely unable to find a way out, just keeping it to herself.

The truth was, ever since the night Shen Dang showed up in her room, she had been completely influenced by him.

Even if she wanted to abandon those thoughts, she simply couldn’t.

Once a person has formed habitual memories, it is very difficult to change.

Qiao Xi thought she could manage to not care at all, but unconsciously, she would always remember Shen Dang’s tone and even his gaze that night.

Qiao Xi sighed and couldn’t help but confide in her, "That night, Shen Dang came to my room."

"And then? What happened between you?"

Su Tutu’s eyes sparkled with anticipation, as if she was expecting something.

The little bit of sorrowful atmosphere surrounding Qiao Xi dissipated instantly, and she rolled her eyes, "Can you let me finish?"

"Go on."

Qiao Xi continued, "He wanted to stay over at my place, but I didn’t agree and told him to leave after midnight. After a while, he left."

So nothing happened after all.

Ah!

Su Tutu said with certainty, "Sister, I’ve already told you. It’s because of you that Boss Shen came to the set. You just didn’t believe it."

Qiao Xi lowered her gaze without speaking.

"That night, your attitude was so clear. Boss Shen is such a proud man; once he saw your intentions, he naturally wouldn’t continue to impose himself. Mainly, he didn’t want to make you uncomfortable."

She looked straight at Qiao Xi, "He left in the end, you must have felt bad inside, didn’t you?"

Su Tutu guessed very accurately.

Qiao Xi smiled at Su Tutu, "Yeah."

Su Tutu felt a bit heartache for her, "Stop smiling, please."

Qiao Xi grinned, "There won’t be anything between Shen Dang and me, so it’s best to cut losses in time."

She had to laugh; tears were the cheapest thing.

It was her own choice; she didn’t blame anyone.

Rather than regretting and blaming in the future, it’s better to cut off all ties from the start.

Su Tutu sighed deeply, "You’re not completely indifferent towards Boss Shen, right?"

It was very hard not to be moved after spending so much time with someone like Shen Dang.

Qiao Xi bent her eyes slightly, "That doesn’t mean anything. I know what I want and what I can’t afford to lose. Being divorced means we should be clear of each other. It was wrong from the start, and the sooner we end the mistake, the better it is for everyone."

Qiao Xi spoke calmly, "This isn’t Hai City; there’s no need to continue acting. It’s better to just maintain my own distance and discretion."

Qiao Xi’s clear, cool phoenix eyes seemed as if they had seen through worldly affairs.

What fell in her eyes was not brilliance, but dust. Even as fleeting lights passed by, what remained was still a dim and muted expanse.

Su Tutu hugged her, "Life shouldn’t be about being afraid to face the path ahead because of one mistake. Wouldn’t it be better to try again? Without trying, how can you know what lies ahead? Giving up is easy because you’re scared of facing a bad outcome, but if you persist, you might discover even more wonderful things."

Qiao Xi gave a faint smile, "There are a lot of wonderful things out there, but there are some I just can’t reach no matter how hard I try."

She understood this when she was very young.

"It hasn’t been easy for Brother Chao and me to get to where we are now. Xixi, I hope you can take the time to listen to your heart and be a bit braver."

Su Tutu felt terribly sad inside.

Her sister deserved all the best things in life.

Qiao Xi raised her hand and touched Su Tutu’s head, "But what I have with Shen Dang is different from what you have with Sheng Chao."

How could true love and ambiguity be the same?

To face consequences I can’t bear over something so ephemeral would be too foolish, wouldn’t it?

...

On New Year’s Day, the movie "Time and Space Lovers" was having its final pre-release push on Weibo.

The official account tagged Qiao Xi and Zhou Junqi.

During a break in filming, Qiao Xi cooperated and sent out a Weibo post.

The premiere of "Time and Space Lovers" was at eight o’clock in the evening.

Qiao Xi wrapped up filming at six o’clock that evening.

Su Tutu managed to snag four movie tickets. She and Qiao Xi, along with their respective assistants, went to watch the premiere.

Qiao Xi and Su Tutu didn’t enter the theater until a few minutes after the film had started.

Su Tutu had just settled into her seat when she was struck by Qiao Xi’s breathtaking beauty.

Although various kinds of urban romance dramas were common and the market was saturated, Qiao Xi’s exceptional appearance and acting added a different flavor to this drama, making it stand out. The BE (Bad Ending) conclusion even brought tears to the eyes of some in the cinema.

At the end of the movie, Qiao Xi could still hear quiet sobs around her.

Looking at Qiao Xi herself, she was quite calm and detached.

They waited until everyone else in the theater had left before they exited.

"If you had a different male lead to act with, it would certainly be better. That green tea man (meaning insincere or cunning man) clearly dragged you down."

Su Tutu felt it was a pity.

Zhou Junqi’s acting wasn’t outstanding, but he did bring out some genuine sentiment. Overall, it was passable.

Compared to Qiao Xi, however, he seemed quite lacking.

Qiao Xi patted Su Tutu on the shoulder, and with an air of lightness, she smiled, "I’m satisfied with myself, that’s enough."

Su Tutu looped her arm around Qiao Xi’s shoulder, "So have you made up your mind? Will you come to Shengshi after breaking your contract?"

Qiao Xi smiled at her, "Shengshi is the first one I’ll consider."

Su Tutu’s eyes lit up, "You’re not lying to me?"

"Yeah, I’m not lying to you."

Bei Bei and Xiao Qing were waiting outside.

When they saw the two women coming out, Bei Bei immediately greeted them, "Sister Xi, Sister Tutu, how about we go get some skewers?"

"Sure." Qiao Xi was in a good mood. After coming out and getting some fresh air, she felt more clear-headed, "Let’s all go together then."

Bei Bei excitedly slapped his thigh, "I know where to get the good stuff!"

The bustling night market was brightly lit and thronged with people.

In the winter night, steam rose from the food at the stalls, white and inviting.

The atmosphere of the human world, the most soothing to the heart.

Su Tutu glanced around. The place was crowded, and everyone was busy eating and playing, paying no attention to the two starlets.

"Is the good stuff you mentioned here?"

Bei Bei nodded, "Yeah, this is the most famous night market around. Xiao Qing and I often come here for takeout."

Qiao Xi smiled, "Then let’s order all the tasty stuff you know about. I’ll treat tonight."

"Oh yeah!" Bei Bei, thrilled, dragged Xiao Qing over to the food stalls.

Su Tutu rested her chin on her hand, "Sister, want to have some drinks?"

"I won’t, my alcohol tolerance isn’t great." Qiao Xi reminded her, "We have early scenes to shoot tomorrow, you better not drink either."

Su Tutu suddenly clicked her tongue, "What a pity, this kind of place has the perfect atmosphere for drinking."

"If you want to drink, wait until Sheng Chao comes to Jiang City and you can come with him."

Su Tutu’s eyes brightened, "Right! I’ll call Brother Chao right now!"
