Chinese Entertainment: Top-Tier Boyfriends of Young Actresses

September, Shanghai Dramatic Arts Academy.

After the promotional period for "A Love So Beautiful" ended, Tian Xiwei finally had time to return to school to cancel her leave.

Several weeks have passed since the start of the semester. She had been on leave because of her work promoting her drama, and her advisor had urged her several times to come back and complete the necessary procedures.

When she first returned to school, many curious younger students came to see her, this senior who became an instant sensation upon her debut.

Tian Xiwei is no longer the ordinary student who used to carry a canvas bag and come to the coffee shop in front of the Shanghai Theatre Academy to ask Su Yu for an autograph.

After the broadcast of "A Love So Beautiful", the role of Chen Xiaoxi transformed her from an unknown freshman in the performing arts department into the most well-known "senior sister" in the entire school.

Walking on campus, people recognized her from time to time. Some mustered up the courage to ask for autographs, some held up their phones to ask if they could take a photo together, and others just pointed at her from a distance and discussed it quietly.

Tian Xiwei smiled and responded to each of these people, and after signing her autograph, she would say "Thank you for your support" to them.

In the first few days after she returned to school, many classmates took the initiative to come and chat with her.

Previously, her classmates, whom she only knew by nodding acquaintance in her major courses, now enthusiastically pull her aside to ask about things related to the film crew.

Some were genuinely curious, some were taking the opportunity to get closer, and some had a subtle hint of sourness in their words. Tian Xiwei dealt with them all politely, not offending anyone, but also not getting too close to anyone.

She spent three months on the set of "A Love So Beautiful." She didn't learn much else, but she did improve a lot in dealing with those two-faced classmates.

Of course, while some people flattered her, others couldn't stand her success and spoke ill of her behind her back.

These things were told to her by her best friend, Xiao Lu.

She no longer lives in the dormitory. After all, she is now a public figure, and there are two other roommates besides Xiao Lu in the dormitory. There are some things that are not convenient to do in the dormitory.

Fortunately, after filming "A Love So Beautiful", she received a sum of money. Although it wasn't much, it was more than enough to rent a one-bedroom apartment near the school.

Xiao Lu helped her find the apartment; it was in a quiet alley near Huashan Road, less than a ten-minute walk from the school.

"Piggy, you don't know, before your drama aired, Liu Yue from our class was talking about you. She said some really nasty things, saying how could a newcomer like you get the lead role in Huace Media? She said you must have gotten the role through underhanded means."

Xiao Lu sat cross-legged on the sofa, munching on an apple as she indignantly recounted the story to her, "I had a fight with her back then, and now that you're angry, she actually had the nerve to come and ask me the other day, 'Weiwei, are you busy lately? When are you coming back so we can have dinner together?'"

"I've never seen such a shameless person."

Tian Xiwei just smiled indifferently when she heard this, and didn't take it to heart.

Having spent several months on set and weathered the storm of online criticism against Su Yu, she was no longer interested in these minor ups and downs.

"Let her say what she wants. Besides, I really only got into the cast because of Su Yu." Tian Xiwei said nonchalantly. "He recommended me for the audition, and he helped me rehearse the scenes before I got the role. What she said isn't wrong. I really did get selected because of him."

Looking at her nonchalant demeanor, Xiao Lu suddenly sighed, her tone shifting from righteous indignation to genuine envy.

"Piggy, I'm so envious of you. You actually managed to find your idol as your boyfriend, and he even helped you in your career. Sigh, when will I ever meet a boyfriend like that?"

Hearing Xiao Lu praise Su Yu, Tian Xiwei's lips curled up slightly.

She had only been with Su Yu for a short time when she was exposed to Xiao Lu. Tian Xiwei realized she couldn't hide it anymore, so she simply admitted it, but told Xiao Lu not to tell anyone.

Fortunately, her best friend kept her mouth shut. Apart from Xiao Lu, almost no one at school knew that Su Yu was her boyfriend.

"That's right, my taste in men is top-notch!" Tian Xiwei raised her chin slightly, her tone carrying a hint of pride.

She was quite proud of being able to win over her idol. She had liked Su Yu ever since those few photos of him went viral. Looking back on the journey, she felt like she was dreaming.

"The only downside is that your boyfriend has a lot of female admirers."

Xiao Lu wasn't naive; she naturally knew about the smear campaign against Su Yu a few days ago. She felt that although the matter had been clarified, Su Yu had only been in the industry for a little over a year, yet he was already involved with so many female celebrities, which was indeed a bit too much.

Upon hearing Xiao Lu's words, Tian Xiwei's upturned lips instantly drooped.

She was silent for a moment, then looked down at her fingers resting on her knees.

Xiao Lu is right. Su Yu is good in every way, except that he has too many admirers.

She still remembered the last time Su Yu took leave to pick someone up on the set of "A Love So Beautiful". When he came back, he had a perfume scent that she didn't recognize.

Although Su Yu later "explained" the reason to her, this matter remained a thorn in her side.

Also, last time Su Yu said he was going back to see his parents, but the next day he went to visit Zhou Ye on set.

She only found out about this when the marketing accounts were attacking Su Yu last time.

Although Xiao Zhou was in the actual photo, Su Yu later told her privately that they had simply had a meal together.

But when she saw that group photo at the restaurant, she still felt uncomfortable for quite a while.

"Oh, right," Xiao Lu suddenly seemed to remember something, her eyes lighting up, "Did you know that Wang Churan, the rumored boyfriend of Su Yu that was exposed before, is also at our school?"

"When she first entered the school, people said she was the school beauty. I went to see her too, and she really is beautiful, but she seems a bit arrogant."

Upon hearing the name "Wang Churan," Tian Xiwei's expression instantly turned sour.

Of course she knew who Wang Churan was.

When Su Yu took leave to pick someone up last time, she guessed that person was most likely Wang Churan.

After all, Su Yu had interacted with her when they were on the set of "General and I" and the two spent several months together on set.

As for why she didn't guess other people, it's because other people either have boyfriends, like Ma Sichun, or they're not good-looking enough.

She knew her boyfriend all too well; he was a total looks-obsessed person, and anyone who wasn't good-looking wouldn't catch his eye.

Therefore, excluding the other people, only Wang Churan remains as an option.

Although she eventually chose to believe Su Yu, she still felt very uncomfortable hearing Xiao Lu mention that name.

"She was heavily promoted by her agency from the start, landing the second female lead role in big-budget productions, and now she's been accepted into the Shanghai Theatre Academy. Of course she has the right to be arrogant."

When Tian Xiwei said this, she didn't even realize that her tone was a little sour.

Xiao Lu keenly noticed the change in her best friend's tone.

Her eyes lit up, she jumped off the sofa, patted Tian Xiwei on the shoulder, and suggested, "She's in military training right now, why don't we go check on her?"

Tian Xiwei glanced at her and said calmly, "Okay, let's go take a look."
