Huayu 2007: Starting with fleecing the "Fairy Sisters"

Liu Yifei's situation isn't exactly easy either.

She watched as Wu Wei, still injured, tirelessly came to the film set time and time again, hoping to get closer to her, only to be avoided by her each time.

She felt very uncomfortable.

I've been so heartless, why won't you give up?

One day, she couldn't help but steal a glance at him. Seeing the disappointed look on his face, her heart instantly felt like it was being gripped by something.

A strong pang of sorrow welled up from the bottom of my heart, and my vision blurred instantly.

She hurriedly lowered her head, using the motion of wiping away sweat to hide the tears that were about to spill from her eyes.

Almost everyone in the crew thought that she looked down on Wu Wei, which was why these talented people avoided him like the plague.

But who knows that she wasn't actually feeling much better than him?

Involuntarily, she recalled the night Wu Wei leaped up to save her.

That night she was frightened, her neck was aching, and she felt dizzy and nauseous.

She lay in bed, her mother by her side taking care of her, her eyes full of concern, as if she had returned to when she was sick as a child.

The room was quiet and comfortable.

In this atmosphere, the mother and daughter had a rare, intimate conversation.

"Sissi".

Liu Xiaoli gently stroked her daughter's smooth forehead and said softly, "Tell Mom the truth, have you fallen for that Wu Wei?"

Liu Yifei was stunned for a moment, then her cheeks quickly burned.

She opened her mouth, wanting to deny it, but the word "no" stuck in her throat, and she couldn't say it no matter what.

Looking at her like this, how could Liu Xiaoli not understand?

She sighed, her tone no longer aggressive as before, but rather tinged with a hint of helplessness.

"Mom knows he's good to you, talented, and quite handsome, and... he even saved you. It's normal for you to like him, Mom can understand."

Liu Yifei looked at her mother with some surprise.

She expected to be scolded again, but instead, she heard this.

"but……"

Liu Xiaoli paused, then changed the subject: "Qianqian..."

Liu Yifei felt a sudden tightness in her chest.

Liu Xiaoli continued, "You need to understand that you and he are not from the same world. Your social status is not compatible. It's a mistake for you to like him."

"Are you about to argue with Mom again?"

Looking at her daughter's slightly furrowed brows, Liu Xiaoli said gently, "Let me finish speaking first."

"You are a star in the public eye, with countless eyes watching you and countless people wanting to profit from you. And him? He's just an ordinary, poor college student."

"Last time I bought articles and easily stirred up a wave of public opinion against him. If he hadn't saved you that night, do you think he would be in trouble now? Do you think he could handle it? And that was without me releasing his personal information, and those netizens who were cursing him didn't even know who he was."

"But if you get together with him, and it gets exposed by paparazzi or the media, the public outcry will only be fiercer than before! Do you know how many people are envious of your current position, and how many people want to take your place?"

"At that time, all his information will be thoroughly investigated: his name, where he goes to school, where he lives, what his parents do... all of this will be exposed. Then, the people criticizing him won't just be online; it might happen at his school, or on the street..."

Liu Xiaoli looked into Liu Yifei's eyes: "Qianqian, do you think he can handle all of this?"

Liu Yifei's face gradually turned pale, and her heart was in turmoil.

She opened her mouth, but couldn't say a word.

"So, even if it's for his own good, you should give him up."

Liu Xiaoli's voice was still so gentle, but it was like a knife stabbing into her daughter's heart: "It's not that Mom doesn't want you to be with him, it's just that the circumstances really don't allow it."

"If one day he can establish himself in the entertainment industry based on his talent, and if you still love each other and want to date, Mom will absolutely not stop you!"

Liu Yifei's two beautiful almond-shaped eyes instantly turned red.

She knew that everything her mother had just said was true.

This is not an exaggeration, nor is it meant to scare her.

That's how cruel the entertainment industry is.

Tears streamed from her eyes, rolling down her cheeks and onto the blanket.

This was the first time in so many years that she had felt a spark for a boy, and the first time she had experienced the feeling of liking someone.

But this relationship had to end before it even began.

She had to make this choice.

For him, and for myself, for my mother, and for everyone around me.

Liu Xiaoli reached out and gently wiped away her daughter's tears with a tissue, her eyes filled with heartache.

"Mom, I understand, I promise you."

After a long while, Liu Yifei finally spoke, sobbing, "However, I haven't thanked him in person yet. He saved me and got injured himself. I want to say goodbye to him properly."

"And then?" Liu Xiaoli asked.

"Then……"

Liu Yifei's voice trailed off: "I will take the initiative to keep my distance from him."

Liu Xiaoli looked somewhat helpless, but still nodded: "Okay."

So, the next evening, Liu Yifei went to wait for Wu Wei downstairs at his dormitory.

The moment she saw him appear, she felt a mix of emotions.

She had so much to say to him, but the words just wouldn't come out.

She wanted to say a proper goodbye to him and end this wrong relationship completely, but she couldn't bring herself to say it.

Finally, she thought, "I'll just stay by his side for a while."

Even if it's just for a short while.

Moreover, she herself was reluctant to leave so hastily.

Just then, she remembered the news about the meteor shower she had seen on the news that morning, and so she mustered up her courage and extended that invitation to him:

"I heard there's a meteor shower tonight... Why don't you watch it with me?"

That night's meteor shower was beautiful but fleeting.

Just like the relationship between them...

After leaving that rooftop, she secretly made up her mind to completely sever ties with him from now on.

So on set, she stopped looking at him, stopped responding to him, and stopped giving him any chance to get close to her.

Cold to the point of being inhuman, even to the point of turning on people without a second thought.

But even so, he still came every day.

Yes, if he gave up so easily, he wouldn't be Wu Wei.

She tries desperately to suppress her feelings every day.

The guilt and torment in her heart piled up day by day, causing her condition to deteriorate.

Liu Xiaoli saw all of this, shook her head, and sighed deeply.

It's time to have a face-to-face talk with that kid.
