Chinese entertainment: Top stars started being pursued by young actresses

Chapter 54. Why not come and warm yourself in your senior sister's arms?
Lin Shaobai took some time to go back to school.

The company told him that he had received an invitation to next year's Spring Festival Gala.

As a rising star in the music scene with considerable popularity, it's quite normal for him to be invited to perform a song.

He wasn't originally in the plan.

However, his popularity soared in the second half of the year, and he happened to be a singer with a very good singing voice.

Upon returning to school, Lin Shaobai first went to his elderly mother's office.

Dean Han glanced at him and said, "How's your coursework going lately? Don't get so busy filming and walking the red carpet that you forget about your school exams."

"Don't worry, Mom."

"I don't know what your dad is thinking. He keeps assigning you work, without even considering whether your body can handle it?"

"After all, my career is just starting out, so it's normal to be busy. The entertainment industry changes so quickly; if you don't appear in the public eye often, you'll be forgotten very quickly."

The entertainment industry is indeed a magical place. Sometimes, when you're lucky, a sudden surge in popularity can make you an overnight sensation.

For example, the popular TV series "Go Princess Go" was a hit across the country in its early years.

The male and female leads became overnight sensations, but the male lead has long since disappeared from the public eye, while Zhang Tianai has only recently gained some popularity.

Of course, at present, it's no different from a nobody.

Therefore, actors must cherish their reputation.

If you make a lot of flops after a hit drama, you'll not only be criticized by the entire internet, but you'll also find it hard to get good scripts again.

If you don't get good scripts, you won't become famous, and you'll keep failing, falling into a vicious cycle.

Take Wu Jinyan for example. Years ago, the drama "Story of Yanxi Palace" propelled her to stardom, but all the dramas she starred in afterward were box office flops, and she was criticized for her poor acting and unclear lines.

Just when I was about to become a nobody, "Ink Rain and Clouds" came along.

There are very few celebrities who have been able to maintain their popularity over the years, which is why it's said that it's not easy for someone like Yang Mi to maintain her popularity for so long.

Even after many years, he remains a top star.

After finishing her work, the elderly mother came out of the office with Lin Shaobai and locked the door.

Lin Shaobai stood to the side, sending a message to his senior sister Zhou Ye on his phone.

Why did you make me delete you?

Why did you suddenly send that message?
Lin Shaobai wanted to get to the bottom of things.

Zhou Ye replied to him after a while.

Because I can't help but want to contact you.

"call……"

Lin Shaobai had been on tenterhooks until he received this reply.

So, after all this time, my senior sister is just playing around with abstract concepts.

[You scared me! I thought something had happened to my senior sister.]

[I saw you on the red carpet live stream that day, wearing this down jacket, it was quite unique.]

[It was just too cold, but I won't dress like that next time.]

[That's true. You have a lot of work these days... Sigh, I wonder if sending messages so often might bother a big star? [laughs]]

It feels like you're trying to provoke me.

How could that be?

They look very similar.

If you're feeling cold, junior brother, why not come and warm yourself up in my arms?

Lin Shaobai's heart skipped a beat when he saw this.

It snowed heavily here yesterday, and the world was covered in a vast expanse of white.

The snow on the roads on the Beijing Film Academy campus was cleared by staff, making way for a path.

Lin Shaobai kept staring at his phone until snowflakes fell on his screen, obscuring the keywords.

The temperature dropped as soon as night fell, and light snowflakes began to fall from the sky.

Under the moonlight, snow fell on the blue bricks and froze into silver frost.

His long black down jacket was covered with tiny snowflakes.

Lin Shaobai chatted with his senior sister for a few minutes and then put his phone back in his pocket.

It's really cold without gloves in the middle of winter.

Lin Shaobai walked along the path and happened to see some classmates building a snowman ahead.

A person was squatting alone by the roadside.

Lin Shaobai put his hands in his pockets and exhaled a breath of cold air.

He walked over slowly, and only under the streetlights could he clearly see the person's face.

"Zhang Jingyi?"

Lin Shaobai said with a hint of surprise.

I never expected to run into her here.

Upon hearing the name, Zhang Jingyi turned her head and quietly stared at Lin Shaobai, who was standing not far away. Neither of them spoke; they simply looked at each other.

Zhang Jingyi was wearing a down jacket with a white scarf wrapped around her neck.

After a while, she slowly stood up: "What a coincidence."

She greeted Lin Shaobai.

Lin Shaobai: "I also think it's quite a coincidence. It's rare for me to come back and walk around the campus, and I just happen to run into you."

Zhang Jingyi tidied her wind-blown hair, maintaining her original ladylike and quiet demeanor.

“I watched your red carpet live stream the other day. You…” Zhang Jingyi paused, then continued, “You went up there wearing a down jacket?”

Lin Shaobai: "Mm."

“I just felt that you were different from other people. But…”

Zhang Jingyi exhaled a cold breath, then pulled a blue hand warmer from her down jacket pocket.

She glanced at Lin Shaobai, then mustered her courage and walked over.

Lin Shaobai: "Hmm?"

Zhang Jingyi handed the hand warmer to Lin Shaobai: "Here you go."

Lin Shaobai: "...A gift for me?"

Zhang Jingyi looked up, then turned her face to the side and said, "Mm."

Even though they offered the gift willingly, they acted as if they were reluctant.

Gee tut.

Lin Shaobai discovered that the princess's personality was indeed a bit awkward and not frank.

When Lin Shaobai took out the hand warmer, he accidentally touched Zhang Jingyi's hand, which made her quickly pull her hand back.

"This hand warmer is brand new, I haven't used it before."

"So you gave it to me because you were worried I'd be cold?"

"of course not."

Zhang Jingyi denied it very quickly.

After saying that, she pulled her white scarf up a bit, covering half of her face.

These art school girls all have particularly small faces.

Her small face displayed delicate features.

“I wasn’t worried about you at all…” Zhang Jingyi muttered, turning her head away.

Lin Shaobai: "It's abnormal for you to worry about me."

"Huh? Why do you say that?"

"I think you only feel worried when you like someone. You only worry about whether I'm cold and send me a hand warmer if you like me."

"..."

Zhang Jingyi's face grew even redder.

Lin Shaobai didn't mention the princess when he said these things, but she blushed first.

"So I think..."

"You think too much."

"..."

"You and I are simply classmates."

"..."

"You're overthinking everything else."

After grumbling her rebuttal, Zhang Jingyi sighed. Sometimes, she regretted her own personality when she said these things.

Why can't they be frank?

There's really no way to directly express what's on my mind.

Forget it, so be it.

Lin Shaobai could only give an awkward laugh.

"In short, keep this hand warmer safe. And remember, this is a gift from me."

"Ah."

"Make sure you remember this well. Don't think it was a gift from your senior sister."

"Um...what? Senior sister?"

"Senior Sister Zhou Ye".

Lin Shaobai coughed twice.

Why did we suddenly start talking about Senior Sister Zhou Ye?
I think this image matching feature is really interesting.
