Chapter 380: Chapter 381: As Long As You’re Happy ^_^

Luo You pondered and said, "The information I gathered says that Deng Zhaoyan lost thirty pounds, all through liposuction. A year of rest would be just enough to take care of the aftereffects."

Cheng Xiaohua couldn’t help but "tsk" in response, "Well, doesn’t that make even more sense? Deng Zhaoyan is just envious of Jinxia! Why should Jinxia smoothly lose weight and even stir up a wave of popularity, while she has to lie in bed, half-dead, for six months? Isn’t that enough to make someone envious?"

Luo You patted Cheng Xiaohua on the shoulder, "You have a point!"

Seeing that they pinned down the reason for Deng Zhaoyan’s hostility towards her in just a few words, He Jinxia hurriedly waved her hand, "Wait a minute, you can’t just hastily decide on that, can you?"

Luo You countered, "No, no, no, I think Xiao Hua makes a lot of sense. It all stems from the terrifying jealousy of women!"

Cheng Xiaohua agreed, "The jealousy of a woman is indeed a terrifying thing, Jinxia, you have to be careful. I always feel like Deng Zhaoyan is coming aggressively and with ill-intent."

He Jinxia understood that as well.

Honestly, she had encountered women in ancient times who were far more insane than Deng Zhaoyan. However, the environment in ancient times was different from the modern one, which shaped different people, so she felt there must be other, more important reasons.

After thinking for a while, she said, "Deng Zhaoyan is already a top-tier star. It wouldn’t come to that, would it?"

Cheng Xiaohua patted her on the shoulder and sighed, "Jinxia, remember this saying and you won’t go wrong: the bigger the star, the more... problematic they are!"

He Jinxia: "..."

Sheng Yan and Ye Lunfei expressed strong disagreement.

In the evening, when He Jinxia returned to the hotel and was chatting on the phone with Sheng Yan, she brought up the matter.

Since Cheng Xiaohua found out about their relationship, He Jinxia stopped being so cautious around Cheng Xiaohua and spoke very freely during their conversations.

If it weren’t for Jinxia not wanting Xiao Hua to see Sheng Yan’s stunningly handsome face, she would have already made a video call.

"...I feel something’s not quite right, what do you think?" He Jinxia talked to him about a lot and asked.

Sheng Yan was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "Actually, what Xiao Hua said does have some basis. When people are in an unstable mental state, they generate a lot of negative energy."

"Many people in this state look back on their hard times, complain about why their life is so bad, then they blame social injustice, and after that, this complaining mood turns into more negative emotions: hatred, envy, animosity, and so on. Everything is possible."

He Jinxia fell silent.

Sheng Yan gave a slight smile and said, "Human thought is very complex. The world isn’t like a math problem with a precise answer, nor is everything simply black or white. If you can’t understand it, don’t think about it. Just focus on being yourself and take good care of yourself."

He Jinxia slowly spoke up, "Yeah, I just suddenly realized something."

She paused, then said a bit nostalgically, "No matter how many years pass, even if the era is different, people really haven’t changed much."

She thought back to her life in ancient times, where endless scheming and deception reigned, a place so stressful that even sleep was restless, often waking in fright in the middle of the night.

Being in modern times, the overly comfortable life made her almost forget those years. For a woman, those days were indeed a bit too heavy.

Looking at it now, one really can’t be too complacent!

In her ear, Sheng Yan’s voice came through faintly, "Why do you say that?"

He Jinxia snapped back to reality, stuck out her tongue playfully, and pretended to be casual, "I’ve been reading some books on ancient history lately. It feels like, even though living conditions were tough back then, people were still the same. It seems like nothing much has changed from ancient times to now."

After a brief explanation, He Jinxia changed the subject and asked about Sheng Yan’s schedule for tomorrow.

The two of them chatted for a full two hours and it wasn’t until bedtime that He Jinxia reluctantly ended the call.

Just before hanging up, Sheng Yan said in a deep and gentle voice, "The white dress you wore today looked very good on you, good night, and remember to dream of me."

He Jinxia: "..."

She threw her phone on the bed, sprawled out in a starfish shape, and couldn’t help but roll around a few times, pulling up the quilt to cover her head and hide the unstoppable blush rising to her cheeks.

Mr. Sheng’s sweet nothings... how could one ever get tired of

The next day, He Jinxia continued to watch the shows, this time without encountering Deng Zhaoyan or any major celebrities.

On the third day, instead of watching shows, she went out for a magazine photoshoot, making up for the activities she owed due to previous rainy days.

Sheng Yan, after arriving in the country, was still quite busy, but even with his schedule packed, he chose to stay in the hotel where Jinxia was staying.

Both of them left early and returned late each day, and no matter how late, they made sure to see each other at night. Even though they didn’t have many dates, seeing each other every day was reassuring for both, and their sweetness continued to ferment.

After three consecutive days of photo shoots for magazines, He Jinxia finally caught up with her previously delayed schedule.

These magazine photos were prearranged with Feier, who had reached out to several magazines to feature her photos, using the name of Feier’s full-line brand spokesperson and image ambassador to boost Feier’s visibility in the country.

Her success was tied to Feier’s— the higher Feier’s visibility in the country, the higher her own, so she was fully invested during the photoshoots.

On the fourth day, He Jinxia returned to the fashion week venue and finished watching the last show in the country.

After the show, He Jinxia had nothing else to do and could use the remainder of her time for tourism and rest. She calculated that she had a half-month holiday ahead for a period of decadent, carefree, and joyful living.

But the holiday hadn’t even begun when, after the show, Jinxia returned to the hotel and Luo You brought her an unexpected blockbuster announcement—

A photoshoot for a leading magazine cover!

Even though it wasn’t shot at the brand’s headquarters, which reduced its impact, the fact that the magazine was trying to establish its presence as a second-tier magazine in the country meant it was still significant, at least carrying the title of a top-tier magazine!!

Luo You, seeing the shocked look on He Jinxia’s face, couldn’t help but curve his lips upward, but then he forcefully pressed them down and coughed, pretending to be profound:

"Actually, it’s not surprising that they would approach you, because you fit their profile so well. Besides, you have a movie that was released in the country which attracted a bunch of fans. Although the movie was of moderate quality, the fighting spirit showcased in it is commendable."

"Ever since the country’s fans found out you truly lost eighty pounds by exercising and eating properly, you’ve been revered as a goddess-like figure to them."

"Congratulations, He Jinxia, you’ve become an idol, a deity, in the eyes of countless overweight individuals in the country!"

He Jinxia clapped along, smiling, "Please continue."

Luo You closed his mouth and chose not to say more, merely commenting, "Young lady, you don’t realize the struggles other stars face! An invitation for a leading magazine photoshoot is not easily obtained. Look at you, you haven’t even skyrocketed to fame yet, and you’ve already received how many invitations from branches of top-tier magazine brands?"

He Jinxia thought for a moment and asked with some confusion, "Didn’t we only shoot for Fengshang Huaxia before, is that a lot?"

Luo You clicked his tongue, "I was just making a comparison, why do you take it so seriously?"

He Jinxia: "..." Whatever makes you happy ^_^
