Chinese entertainment: Top stars started being pursued by young actresses

Chapter 250, Page 249: Xiaotian questions Jingyi: Did you all lie to me? (7K)

After Chen Duling finished speaking, she prepared to leave.

Anyway, everything that should be said and shouldn't have been said has already been revealed.

Tian Xiwei stood in the same spot, but this time was different from the last. This time, she was trying hard to suppress her emotions.

When Chen Duling reached the door of the room, she moved slightly and suddenly turned around to grab the other person's arm!

"What are you doing?" Chen Duling was not flustered at all, and even had her usual smile on her lips.

Suddenly grabbing my arm, are we about to fight?
Only at this point did Chen Duling begin to feel a little weak.

She really couldn't handle a fight.

Why can't we talk things out instead of resorting to violence?

Well, there's no need to take action.

"I'll ask you one more time, are all the things you just said true?"

Tian Xiwei was holding Chen Duling's arm, but her head remained lowered.

These days, only a "major event" could make someone as famous and wealthy as Master Tian bow his head like this.

"I have no reason to lie to you."

Although Chen Duling was helpless, her tone remained incredibly gentle.

It could also be the type that's gentle on the outside but deadly on the inside.

"Why would I come here specifically to lie to you? I just want to tell you the truth so you can think about it carefully."

“Don’t even think about it!”

Tian Xiwei's opinion remains quite firm.

She simply cannot accept this open relationship.

Of course, she didn't completely ignore what Chen Duling said.

From an unknown actress at the Shanghai Theatre Academy, someone no one recognized on the street, to now being recognized as a top-tier female star in China!

Without Lin Shaobai's recommendation and support, it would have been impossible to get to this point.

Tian Xiwei is not an ungrateful person; she knows how good Lin Shaobai has been to her.

It was so good from beginning to end.

That's why Oda likes him so much.

It's precisely because I like him that I can't accept the presence of other people in his life!

Tian Xiwei couldn't understand. Did all the people Chen Duling mentioned earlier really want to accept this kind of relationship?

If she likes Lin Shaobai, why can she accept everything?

Accepting everyone's participation?
Tian Xiwei couldn't stand it.

She really couldn't stand it.

Just seeing other women having some intimate contact with Lin Shaobai is enough to make her anxious, let alone this kind of open relationship!
"You rejected me so decisively. It seems all my words were wasted."

Why can you accept this?

Tian Xiwei still asked incredulously.

If Wang Churan would accept it, it would be strange if that guy's outrageous personality didn't!

But, but Chen Duling...

She has always presented herself to the outside world as an introverted, gentle, and polite person with a fresh and youthful temperament, after all, she debuted as a campus beauty at Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics.

Even in private, he exudes a scholarly air.

Tian Xiwei couldn't believe it, no matter how hard she tried, that such a person would agree to be with another woman.
Even if I didn't eat or drink for days and nights starting today, I still wouldn't understand.

"Whether you accept it or not, things are already like this." Chen Duling gestured with her hand: "What you see now is the result. Actually, when I first learned about this, I was also very upset, just like you."

Tian Xiwei: "..."

"I can't believe it, and I don't want to believe it. I haven't slept well for several nights... But I know I have to make a decision quickly, otherwise these emotions will affect my life. But the other person is Lin Shaobai, and we have developed a deep relationship. I really can't make this decision right away."

Chen Duling clutched her handbag tightly: "Later, at a certain moment, I suddenly realized that I really couldn't live without him. Maybe saying this makes me seem a little pathetic, but I really can't live without him. Without Xiaolin, I wouldn't have had the opportunity to act in 'The Vanished Girl,' and the public wouldn't have seen how much I did to prepare for my acting career."

Chen Duling has a magical charm when she speaks, which can gradually calm the listener down and make them willing to listen to her patiently.

"In my opinion, Xiaolin is an excellent person in every way, and many people like him. As I just said, he can't stay for just one person. So I say, take it easy."

"How do you see it...open."

"Can you imagine what it would be like to be with him and what it would be like to be separated from him? Which would you rather bear?"

Chen Duling grabbed Xiaotian's hand: "Do you think what I said is right?"

Tian Xiwei didn't say anything more.

Chen Duling: "Alright. Think it over carefully. Before I leave, I still want to say that I like Lin Shaobai very much, just as much as you do. Don't think that I don't like him just because I accept this kind of relationship."

Tian Xiwei suddenly spoke up: "I hope you won't tell Lin Shaobai about this when you go back. Anyway, your film is almost finished filming. I will talk to him about this in person after filming wraps up. Don't tell him about our meeting today either."

"Is it because you think it will affect filming...? I didn't expect you to think so far ahead. Okay, I'll listen to you."

After Chen Duling finished speaking, she left without looking back.

Tian Xiwei leaned on the chair and sat back down in her original spot, carefully recalling what she had just said.

Chen Duling's words were not entirely wrong.

However, Oda still couldn't agree.

She couldn't accept that there were other people in Lin Shaobai's life.

That evening, Xiaotian returned to her hotel.

She tossed and turned in bed.

She recalled the names Chen Duling had mentioned back then and repeated them one by one.

"Chen Duling..."

"Wang Churan".

"Zhang Jingyi".

So in the end, am I the only one who was kept in the dark?

Looking at it this way, I seem like an idiot.

Why did you only lie to me?

"why."

Tian Xi angrily threw the pillows back and forth on the bed.

"The main problem is that everyone knows it, and it would seem very awkward if I were the only one who didn't."

"No, no, no, that's not the point!"

"I simply cannot accept sharing my boyfriend!"

"Is this something a human being can accept?!"

Despite her anger, Xiaotian was still very sad.

Being deceived is a very painful thing, let alone being deceived by the person you love most.

So Wang Churan is actually Lin Shaobai's girlfriend, and the photos that were posted were real. Lin Shaobai acknowledged Wang Churan's status as his girlfriend.

And everything said after that was just a superficial deception!
Even Wang Churan was involved in the deception.

"What do they take me for?!"

Tian Xiwei couldn't bring herself to vent her anger on this matter because Lin Shaobai had helped her so much.

Chen Duling couldn't understand it at first, but eventually her emotions prevailed over her reason.

Tian Xiwei is currently a top-tier celebrity. What will happen to her if she chooses to let go?

Even if someone becomes a top star, they can quickly fade into obscurity; there are many examples of this.

Back then, "Go Princess Go" was so popular that everyone knew it, and the male and female leads became overnight sensations.

But later, resources couldn't keep up. Although the roles didn't match the popularity at the time, the female lead fared somewhat better, but the male lead had practically disappeared from the public eye and couldn't get any roles at all.

"A Love So Beautiful" was also incredibly popular; two ordinary people suddenly appeared and became a hit on Tencent Video.

Hu Yitian also had a great start, but then flopped.

Thinking of this, Tian Xiwei took out her phone and saw Zhang Jingyi lying quietly in her contacts.

"We seemed to be having a good chat before, but in the end, were you lying to me too?"

“Zhang Jingyi…”

Tian Xiwei immediately typed a message in the chat box and sent it, hoping to have a good chat with this Zhang student.

Very friendly, let's chat!
Zhang Jingyi was out for a walk when she received the message.

Her assistant alerted her that her phone was ringing.

"Jingyi, your phone has rung several times."

"Oh? I didn't hear you. Thank you."

Zhang Jingyi took it out and realized it was a message from Tian Xiwei.

Upon seeing Xiaotian, she smiled gently and said, "Xiaotian, Xiaotian messaged me."

The assistant frowned slightly: "You're competitors in the same track, you should be on guard."

"It didn't say it was a competitive relationship."

Zhang Jingyi, on the contrary, took it all in stride.

"It's not like we have to openly say you're competitors. Everyone knows that actresses in your age group, those born between 95 and 00, are all competitors. And those born in the 00s will also start competing with each other later."

"Even if that was the case, that was in the past. Now we can't compare to Xiaotian."

Zhang Jingyi was neither humble nor arrogant.

She did not feel jealous or resentful because of Xiaotian's popularity, nor did she belittle herself because of it.

The assistant had no feelings for Oda, so he became somewhat agitated.

"What? What did you say? Don't give up so soon!"

"It's not about giving up or not. It's because..."

Zhang Jingyi slowly stopped, looked up at the night sky, and after thinking for a long time, resignedly said, "Sometimes actors can film their whole lives and still not get a hit drama that makes everyone recognize them, let alone someone like Xiao Tian, ​​who can have three hit dramas airing in a row. That's why she became a top star overnight. I don't have that kind of opportunity."

The assistant curled her lip: "It just feels like President Lin is giving Tian Xiwei too many resources. With so many good resources, why is she always the female lead? You're also an artist in the company, why is she the one who gets to play the lead role?"

"Alright, alright, there's no need to dwell on this. I have a good relationship with Xiaotian, so please don't say things like that again."

Zhang Jingyi tried to persuade her.

assistant:"……"

Zhang Jingyi had no idea that Xiao Tian had asked her out to talk about Lin Shaobai; she just thought they were simply going hiking together.

Unfortunately, the next day, the news that Chen Duling and Tian Xiwei went to a private room for dinner together became a trending topic.

#Tian Xiwei and Chen Duling have dinner together#
Clicking into the entry, I saw that the trending topic only showed photos of the two leaving the restaurant from a distance, and no one knew what they were talking about.

The pairing of two currently popular female celebrities is sure to spark discussion among netizens.

Do these two know each other? They actually arranged to have dinner together privately?!

[Double fandom ecstasy! Who understands the feelings of fans who are both fans of pink and Oda?]

This meal was a feast for those who appreciate good looks; I wish I could have just watched from the sidelines.

[I'd gladly serve them tea and water while they eat! They don't even need to eat; just looking at their faces is enough to fill me up.]

[Beautiful women really only like to hang out with other beautiful women.]

Anyone else think these two have amazing chemistry? I really wish they could star in a fantasy drama together, as a sweet junior sister and a cool senior sister!

Please, is there any director who can take a look? These two actors' lines and acting are both excellent.

Are you sure Chen Duling's acting and delivery of lines were on point?

[I think Chen Duling acted quite well in the movie, please stop criticizing her. She's acting very well now. Just to clarify, I'm not a fan.]

[How about we have Lin Shaobai fund the entire production for these two?]

[Haha, I admire your imagination, but unfortunately we're not going to meet up. It's pointless to waste your time.]

Um, I think the two of them could play love rivals.

Actually, they both pursued me at the same time, but I cruelly rejected them both.

[The "Don't Laugh Challenge" is over; okay, I lost.]

This trending topic was still being discussed when Xiaotian and Zhang went hiking together.

Zhang, holding the trending topic, laughed and said, "So you know Dudu too? I've been really enjoying her movies lately."

Don't you recognize her?

Tian Xiwei kept walking forward while climbing the mountain. This time was different from before, when she would walk side by side with Xiao Zhang.

This time it seems more like it was driven by personal emotions.

Why pretend not to know Lin Shaobai when you clearly know his relationship with her privately?

"It's like... I know this person exists, but I'm not very familiar with them."

Although Tian Xiwei didn't quite believe it, Zhang really wasn't lying!

She and Dudu weren't very familiar with each other, let alone chatting and hiking together like they are now.

All I know is that everyone here is someone close to Lin Shaobai.

There's no need to go see him in person, is there?

Wouldn't it be even more awkward to see him?

Zhang Jingyi is socially anxious and terrified of awkward situations, so why would she want to make herself uncomfortable?

“Actually, Xiaotian,” Zhang Jingyi said, taking a few extra steps to catch up with Xiaotian, “I’m really happy that you suddenly came to find me.”

Tian Xiwei walked ahead, and even when she heard her classmate Xiao Zhang calling her from behind, she didn't slow down.

I'm really angry.

How could I not be angry?!
Oh, everyone knows about this open relationship, but she was kept in the dark like a fool!
Besides, it's not like we've met for the first time. We've known each other for so long, why aren't you being honest?

Everyone else doesn't care, but Zhang Jingyi, why did you lie to people?
You look honest, so you secretly enjoy lying to people?

Tian Xiwei grew angrier the more she thought about it.

On second thought, it's possible that there are various reasons why I can't say it.

"It must be that Kobayashi didn't want me to say it..."

"Xiaotian, what did you say?"

"Oh, it's nothing." "I just felt you were..."

Zhang Jingyi took a big step forward and stood on the same step as Xiao Tian. After hesitating for a while, she continued, "I feel like you're different from usual today. You weren't like this at all when we went hiking together last time."

Tian Xiwei didn't say anything, but silently adjusted her blue baseball cap.

Is something on your mind? Can I help you?

Zhang Jingyi asked out of kindness.

"Yes, I have a lot on my mind."

"Then...then..."

Zhang Jingyi was somewhat at a loss.

She even genuinely felt sorry for the conflicted Xiaotian.

Tian Xi glanced up at him, then pointed upwards and said, "Let's go up first. It's not appropriate for us to keep standing here."

"Ah."

The two continued climbing side by side, with their thoughtful assistant following not far behind, ensuring they wouldn't disturb their activities while also providing protection.

There weren't many people along the way today, so I was pretty lucky.

Otherwise, given Oda's current fame, he would definitely be surrounded by a crowd if recognized.

After climbing all the way to the top of the mountain, only the two of them remained. They sat down on a bench in a secluded spot.

Zhang Jingyi took off her mask to drink water, while secretly glancing at Xiao Tian sitting next to her.

"I'm still not in a good mood."

"Jingyi, I have something I want to ask you, and I hope you can answer me truthfully."

"Of course, just ask."

Zhang Jingyi quickly twisted the water bottle shut and looked at Tian Xiwei with extra care.

"Are you and Xiaolin in a relationship?"

Tian Xiwei leaned close to Xiao Zhang's ear and covered her mouth with her hand, whispering in her ear.

Zhang Jingyi never imagined that she would be asked this question on the mountaintop!

At that moment, she deeply regretted mentioning to Xiaotian why she was feeling down!
Zhang Jingyi knew what the next question was from the moment she heard those words.

It's over, it's over, it's over!

So this hiking trip wasn't just about climbing mountains; it was about having questions to ask.

"You haven't spoken in a long time."

"what?"

When Xiaotian spoke again, Zhang Jingyi finally came to her senses; she herself had no idea how long she had been lost in thought.

Is this question really that hard to answer? You seemed to be on standby for a moment.

Tian Xiwei awkwardly raised her hand and scratched her cheek.

Zhang Jingyi was extremely nervous. She had argued with her senior sister because the two of them had hostile feelings towards each other.

However, Xiao Zhang had feelings for Xiao Tian. Their interactions were happy and friendly.

What's on my mind is definitely avoiding arguments if possible!

"Alright." Tian Xiwei was somewhat exasperated by Xiao Zhang's behavior. "You don't need to try to make up excuses anymore. Since I said that to you, I must have already obtained some evidence. I just want to ask for more details. I also hope you can answer me truthfully."

"Okay. Xiaotian, I am indeed Lin Shaobai's girlfriend."

"..." Tian Xi pursed her lips slightly, then turned her head to the other side.

He looked quite calm, but his hand was actually exerting force in secret.

Depend on!
When I actually heard those words back then, I still found it hard to accept!

Flames kept rising from her chest; if she hadn't become a top female celebrity and needed to control her words and actions, she would have exploded long ago.

"Then you know I'm Lin Shaobai's girlfriend, right?"

"Of course I know..."

"so what?"

"So we are all his... women..."

Zhang Jingyi felt like her heart was going to jump out of her throat with every word she spoke; she was incredibly nervous.

Moreover, the more he spoke, the less confident he became.

Logically speaking, everyone has been acknowledged by Lin Shaobai, so why do they feel guilty now?

"You also know about the relationship between Wang Churan, Chen Duling, and Lin Shaobai?"

"know."

"Okay, okay, so it turns out I was the only one kept in the dark!"

Tian Xi clenched her fists in slight anger.

Sitting next to her, Zhang Jingyi felt so awkward that she wanted to disappear into the ground.

She had only one thought in her mind: Stop talking, please, grandma, can we stop talking? Let's change the subject.

Will we face a life crisis if we continue talking?

This will ruin our relationship!

"Xiaotian, I don't think it's necessary to talk about this."

"How could such a thing be necessary? It's not necessary at all! If I had known it would be like this, I definitely wouldn't have agreed."

Zhang Jingyi's eyes were a little more open than before.

She had heard the same thing from Senior Sister Zhou a long time ago.

At the time, Zhou Ye repeatedly stated that he would absolutely not accept such a thing!

They even had a big argument about it.

In the end, they still compromised...

Oda is most likely the same.

However, it should also be considered that her temper is many times more volatile than that of Senior Sister Zhou.

You need to be a bit more assertive, maybe...

Will they develop in different directions?
"Zhang Jingyi".

"what?"

"Do you really accept this kind of open relationship? If you really like someone, how could you accept that they have someone else?"

Tian Xiwei didn't understand at all.

Zhang Jingyi immediately lowered her head, looking like a deflated balloon.

"Say something! You just keep your head down and won't say anything..."

This slow-paced personality is driving me crazy!
“I haven’t thought about any of that. I only have one thought.”

"what?"

"I just can't leave Shaobai, I definitely can't leave Shaobai, and I can't imagine what kind of life I would have after leaving him."

"what???"

"I...I...I...I..."

Zhang Jingyi stammered again due to nervousness.

"I may have thought about what you're saying, but in my heart, I believe the pain I would have to endure after leaving Shaobai is far more intense than you're describing. And I'm only where I am today thanks to the resources Shaobai introduced me to."

Zhang Jingyi slowly raised her eyes, and unlike her previous hesitation, there was a greater sense of determination in them.

"I really, really love Lin Shaobai. I can't live without him. To put it bluntly, I can't live without him! If you really want to ask me why, this is all I can tell you. I'm telling you from the bottom of my heart, I'm not lying to you."

Tian Xi's lips twitched slightly.

Can't I live without him?

Is this something Zhang Jingyi would say?
Outrageous!
"So you knew those people were Lin Shaobai's girlfriends, and you didn't react at all?"

"Of course I reacted. How could I not react? Of course I was jealous and upset... but there was nothing I could do. So I thought that instead of fighting over someone every day, I should spend more time making myself better."

So, on days when he's not filming or having events, Xiao Zhang not only travels abroad alone with his backpack, but also attends acting classes to learn more.

Always be ready for the next great work.

If you live a fulfilling life, you'll naturally have less time to deal with these emotional matters.

"My God, so that's what you were thinking."

Tian Xiwei slowly stood up and straightened her clothes.

Zhang Jingyi also stood up and silently watched her from behind.

The two people were standing diagonally opposite each other, with their respective assistants standing opposite them.

The two assistants didn't say anything; their role was simply to keep an eye on their surroundings.

They couldn't hear what Zhang Jingyi and Tian Xiwei were talking about.

Although I'm curious, I won't ask too many questions.

Logically speaking, Xiaotian and Zhang Jingyi are rivals in the same field, and Assistant Yang always protects his own sister, even secretly rolling his eyes at each other when they look at each other.

"Xiaotian, I think from the moment we fell for Lin Shaobai, I was destined to get to where I am today. He's just too outstanding. In this industry, he's technically an actor, but he's equally amazing as a singer. He's broken records time and time again. Even if he weren't an actor, he could still be a top star. How many people like him are there?"

"..."

Tian Xi glanced at her sideways without saying anything.

"Do you think I'm right, Oda?"

"That's right!"

"Well."

Zhang Jingyi trembled with fear at those three words.

Waaaaah, let's talk this out, why are you suddenly yelling at me?

It was so scary.

“I am different from you. Don’t compare me to you.”

"..."

Even without saying that, Zhang was not angry. Her eyes were slightly helpless as she stared blankly at Xiaotian.

Tian Xiwei couldn't bear to see that look in her eyes, so she turned and left.

Her assistant quickly followed her down the mountain.

Zhang Jingyi's assistant ran over from afar and asked curiously, "What's wrong? You seem to be in a bad mood."

"You must be in a bad mood."

"So what happened?"

"Sigh, never mind, let's not ask anymore, let's just go."

"..."

……

For the rest of October, Lin Shaobai was busy filming on set every day, and he also had to go abroad to participate in endorsement activities.

I took some time to attend the 27th Huading Awards and won the Best Actor Award in Chinese Cinema.

A few days later, he went abroad to attend the Asian Film Awards, where he won the Best Actor award.

He's constantly busy, receiving awards and filming.

During this time, he had his assistant buy a lot of things, all of which were things that Oda liked.

How could you possibly refuse to buy something if you wanted to coax someone?
The past few days have been peaceful, even surprisingly so.

The two continued chatting normally, as if nothing had happened in the bathroom.

Lin Shaobai found it a bit strange, but upon reflection, it made perfect sense.

Tian Xiwei will probably wait until filming wraps up before discussing this matter.

Dudu did as Xiaotian had suggested and did not tell him about their meeting.

Normal filming continued without affecting the production schedule.

And so, it was the end of October, and filming for the TV series "Changfengdu" officially wrapped up.

This time, Chen Duling's fans prepared a wrap-up support event for her.

This made Dudu extremely happy.

As soon as you step outside, you'll see a huge sign that reads, "Happy wrap-up day for Chen Duling and Liu Yuru!"

Seeing so many fans who had come from all directions, Chen Duling was moved to tears again.

She walked to the center of the support signs, picked up the microphone, and said to the fans who came to support her, "The weather is getting colder. Thank you all for coming to see me. Thank you for preparing all this support for me."

"It's not hard work!"

The fans couldn't bear to see their beloved Dudu say such things, and they shouted at the top of their lungs.

"I've also prepared gifts for everyone this time."

"Thank you, Dudu! We love you."

"Sometimes I really feel guilty. I'm just too busy to reply to everyone."

"It's okay!! Don't cry, Dudu!"

The little bells rang exceptionally loudly, and even Lin Shaobai, who was quite far away, could hear them.

"Chen Duling has more and more fans."

The assistant sighed from the side.

"The successful release of the film garnered her a large following. It also made the public realize that her acting skills have improved significantly."

After Lin Shaobai finished speaking, he and his assistant went to the car. In the car, he called Xiao Tian.

"Hey, Xiaotian."

"Kobayashi, seize the moment and have fun!"

"Yes, it's me—"

"The movie has wrapped up filming. I was afraid of distracting you, so I didn't tell you about it. Now I can finally talk to you about how you lied to me."

So sleepy, I'll write more tomorrow. 90 words now, thank you all for your support.
