Huayu: Were you ever a top star before writing nonsense?

At 11:10 p.m., under the bright moonlight, the warm yellow streetlights wandered through the night, and neon lights danced in the darkness like a group of joyful elves.

Amidst the revelry of these elves, two shadows were stretched long by the light.

Shen Can and Wan Qian, who had just left the internet cafe, walked side by side toward the hotel. When they reached a quiet street, Wan Qian stopped and looked across the street. The evening breeze blew through her hair, and the aroma of barbecue stalls wafted from afar.

"Do you think I can become famous?"

Shen Can walked to the tree and looked across the street. There, a woman was guarding a convenience store. A young woman bought a pack of cigarettes, then eagerly opened the cigarette pack, lit a cigarette, and began to smoke.

Shen Can watched the woman's actions and did not immediately answer Wan Qian's words. He remembered that this woman had a nickname "Boss Wan" in her previous life.

It was a gift from her fans.

She has played mostly minor roles in movies and TV series, so many of them that she could open a shop, hence the nickname "Boss Wan".

That hurts.

At the same time, Wan Qian also established a persona of "a person as indifferent as a chrysanthemum".

This kind of persona is practically everywhere in the entertainment industry.

Believe in yourself, you can do it.

Shen Can encouraged them, saying, "It's very difficult for people like us, without connections or funds, to get ahead, but it's not entirely hopeless."

Wan Qian frowned: "You have it much easier than me. You're good-looking and talented; becoming a big star is only a matter of time. Besides, you already have three hit songs. Countless singers envy you behind your back, including me..."

It's frustrating to think about. Her voice is great, and the songs on her album "Gravity" were selected from over 300 tracks, yet it still didn't become a big hit.

Although many fans expressed their love for it, in terms of popularity, it probably doesn't even qualify as a "small hit," and in terms of revenue, it's a complete loss—a total money-losing business.

Shen Can walked the path of music with ease, but she walked it with great difficulty.

Shen Can sighed:

"Easy? I'm exhausted too."

Right, system.

"You mean writing novels and songs makes you feel mentally exhausted?"

"Yes." Shen Can nodded slightly.

That's right, just like Wan Qian imagined.

He originally just wanted to comfort Wan Qian by following up on her topic, but since Wan Qian had already made up her own interpretation, he decided to go with her interpretation.

Who told her to make such a reasonable assumption?

Wan Qian fell silent, her thoughts drifting far away in the evening breeze.

After a long pause, Shen Can sighed:

"We are truly a pair of star-crossed lovers."

"Huh? Mandarin ducks?" Wan Qian was taken aback.

next second.

Shen Can reached out and grasped Wan Qian's right hand.

Jackie Chan, a veteran in the world of picking up girls, once said:

"Dating is simple: if someone holds my hand, I'll date them; otherwise, there's no need to date them. I'm very busy. If someone won't even hold my hand, then goodbye. There's no need to date them; it's a waste of my time."

Shen Can is a staunch supporter of this statement.

Why are you licking me... Just go all in and use basic attacks.

If the other party is willing to accept the challenge, continue; if not, goodbye.

We're all adults here, so let's stop with the whole 'unrequited love,' 'clingy,' and 'testing' thing.

Of course, this method requires a lot of ability, such as money, fame, talent, good looks, humor and wit... You need to have at least one of these options, or even multiple ones, otherwise you can't use this trick.

Wan Qian did not break free from Shen Can's hand, but looked at Shen Can with a half-smile.

Shen Can wasn't afraid of her gaze; his lack of refusal was an admission.

At that moment, he felt that Wan Qian's eyes were as captivating as evening stars.

After a period of silence, Wan Qian smiled and slowly said:

"I'll go back after filming tomorrow."

"Have you bought the train tickets?"

"Not yet, I'll buy it when I get to the station tomorrow."

Have a safe and smooth journey.

"Little brother, I suddenly realize how heartless you are. You held my hand, but you didn't try to keep me."

"If I ask you to stay, will you?"

"Won't."

"You and I are the same kind of people. We will do everything in our power to achieve our goals, even if it means getting hurt."

"You sound like you know me very well?"

"Isn't that right?"

How could someone who has been in the entertainment industry for so many years and finally made a name for themselves not have any ambition?

Wan Qian didn't refute. Her eyes were staring unabashedly at Shen Can's face. Now that Shen Can had broken the ice, she no longer needed to peek; she could look openly instead.

She was captivated by his handsome face, fascinated by his talent, and warmed by his thoughtfulness.

She suddenly had a strong urge to drink, to drink with the man in front of her.

Let's go crazy.

So she asked.

"Want a drink?"

"Let's have some beer. Do you want it ice-cold or room temperature?" Shen Can asked.

"It's cold, this time it's your treat."

"No problem." Shen Can was unusually generous.

……

The next morning, Shen Can woke up next to Wan Qian in the hotel room.

It was his first time eating meat since his rebirth, and he inevitably indulged a bit last night.

Perhaps because she had been up too long and too intense last night, or perhaps because she had drunk too much beer, Wan Qian was still sleeping soundly.

Shen Can, however, was full of energy. He sat up in bed and was met with a mess on the floor: aluminum cans, peanut shells, and their underwear...

This shows how crazy it was last night.

Shen Can has a good memory. He remembers them chatting about gossip in the industry while drinking, remembers Wan Qian angrily cursing those who had tried to sexually harass her... He remembers every detail of last night.

His sweat dripped onto her fair skin, and she tried to suppress her voice, not wanting anyone to hear.

Shen Can snapped out of his thoughts and turned to look at Wan Qian, only to find that Wan Qian was already awake, staring straight at him with her eyes open.

"Are you hungry?" Shen Can asked.

Wan Qian lay there and shook her head.

"What is our relationship now?" Wan Qian asked.

Shen Can lay back on the bed and smiled:

"Boyfriend or girlfriend? If you're willing."

Wan Qian's face showed a surprised expression. She had thought that Shen Can would treat it as a fleeting romance. After all, based on the skills and physical strength that Shen Can showed last night, he didn't seem like Xiao Chunan at all. Instead, he seemed like someone with a lot of experience.

It's important to understand that theory and practice are two different things. Many men can't even get in the first time, but Shen Can is a complete pro.

Such people are generally unwilling to commit to a relationship.

But Shen Can did not hesitate.

Wan Qian felt a surge of emotion.

She reached out and placed her hand on Shen Can's chest, gently stroking it.

"It's good that you have this intention. For the sake of the future, your current single image can't collapse, and neither can mine, otherwise it will be even harder for us to get ahead. Let's pretend this never happened for now, okay?"

"Okay, whatever you say." Shen Can gently kissed Wan Qian's forehead.

He was actually quite indifferent. Don't celebrities have the right to date?

I'm not an idol or a celebrity; I rely on my talent to speak for myself.

She has never intended to market herself as a single persona; she prefers the "scumbag" persona of Duan Zhengchun.

He truly loves every woman he cherishes; he is wealthy and passionate.

Moreover, this kind of persona is not easy for celebrities to collapse. It's already a ruin, so how far can it collapse?

From a certain perspective, this is also a kind of invincibility.

Who knows, Tong Jincheng might even have to call himself his ancestor.
