Chapter 971: Chapter 971: A Candid Conversation

By comparison, the contrast was too big. Anyone would choose to be an actor because such a life is so much more colorful than working nine-to-five every day.

Shen Mianmian laughed and said, "Who doesn’t love money? I’m no exception. Can anyone live in this world without money? If you can live a better life, why choose the more difficult path?"

Upon hearing Shen Mianmian’s words, Yang Xiaoxi also laughed, "Mianmian, you understand me best."

She picked up her juice, "Let’s have a toast."

Shen Mianmian smiled and clinked glasses with her, then said, "Now that you’re planning to be an actor, you have to be more careful about what you say and do. You have to learn how to protect your own privacy. Although actors make money quickly, it also brings a lot of inconveniences. Just be more cautious, and you’ll be fine."

Her tone paused briefly, then she added earnestly, "Xiaoxi, the entertainment industry can change many people, but I hope you will always remember your original intentions."

Yang Xiaoxi nodded, "Mianmian, don’t worry. Even if I become a big star after shooting films, I won’t forget you and Lu Siyuan. The three of us will remain good friends for life."

Hearing this, Shen Mianmian chuckled. She knew Yang Xiaoxi hadn’t grasped the full meaning of her words, but she didn’t plan to correct her. So she also picked up her juice and returned the toast to Yang Xiaoxi.

Yang Xiaoxi took a big gulp and suddenly remembered something, she asked, "Mianmian, you only asked about my plans, but you never mentioned your own. Will you enter the entertainment industry in the future?"

Even though she would continue her journey in the industry, whether or not Mianmian would join her, she still hoped to do it together with Mianmian.

Shen Mianmian thought for a moment and nodded, "Yes, but I will read the script before filming and decide based on the situation."

Yang Xiaoxi nodded in understanding, "I get it. If the script is too risqué, Brother He would definitely be unhappy."

When they first started filming, they were not familiar with the other people in the crew, so they did not talk much. They just focused on filming and did not chat much. Later, when they became more familiar, they learned from others that the script was modified after they were confirmed as the main characters.

Though Yang Xiaoxi sometimes thought about things in a simplistic way, she wasn’t foolish. It was definitely Brother He who asked Lu Nian to change the script.

Sigh!

She still didn’t know when her destined true love would appear.

"That’s only one of the reasons,"

Shen Mianmian said quietly, her gaze suddenly becoming vacant as she seemed to drift into her memories.

It was not until she started acting and had to be physically close with men that she realized she would uncontrollably feel nauseated whenever there were intimate gestures, her skin almost felt like Gu Jianli’s, and she knew it was a shadow from her past life. This was precisely why many of her filming attempts were bungled, but strangely, she never felt that way with Brother He.

Fortunately, later on, she deliberately emptied her mind while filming, tried not to think about those things, and slowly started to recover from it.

Bathed in moonlight, Shen Mianmian and Yang Xiaoxi talked more and more, reminiscing about their childhood and mentioning Shen Jianhua. At the mention of Shen Jianhua, Shen Mianmian couldn’t help but give a wry smile.

Perhaps due to the change in her own destiny, Shen Jianhua’s had also changed. His cancer was detected early. Surgery was performed, and now he was in stable condition with no signs of metastasis.

He was already home recuperating, and if his condition remains good, living into his seventies or eighties would be no problem.

She had also heard that Zhou Lanfang had returned, and she wasn’t surprised in the least.
