sitting opposite him.

Lin Ruyi gave a polite smile.
“Okay, sure.”

The two shallow dimples appeared on her face when she smiled, which looked very charming.

That smile disappeared in no time though.
She continued to stare absentmindedly at the cup on the table and took a sip indifferently.
Her expression seemed to suggest that the water in the cup was tasteless.

Lu Zhiyao felt a little helpless.
His long speech only brought him two words.
Nonetheless, he adjusted his own emotions quickly.

That was because he prepared a very big surprise today.

They fell into a short period of silence.
Lin Ruyi looked as though she was thinking about something while Lu Zhiyao sipped his drink, making up his mind to speak.

“I know not being selected on the talent show previously was a big blow to you.
It’s okay, it will pass.

“Don’t worry, I’ve made plans for our future.”

Lin Ruyi raised her head and stared at Lu Zhiyao blankly as though she did not understand what he meant.
“Hm?”

Lu Zhiyao could not prevent the corner of his lips from smiling.
“I made enough money to buy a two-person capsule!

“We’ll choose a suitable place tomorrow, and then you can move in! A two-person capsule might not be big, but we can slowly change to larger accommodations in the future!

“Maybe one day, we’ll be about to afford a 60-square meters luxury apartment with a kitchen.
Our children will be able to go out at 6 in the evening.
We’ll be able to watch the sunset if we’re lucky…”

Lu Zhiyao excitedly portrayed the bright future in his imagination.
However, there was no joy on Lin Ruyi’s face.
She became more and more impatient.

was

“Keep your money.
I don’t want to stay in some two-person capsule.
Neither do I want to marry you and have kids with you.

“Let’s break up.”

Lu Zhiyao’s smile froze on his face.

“Why? What’s wrong with you? You’ve been acting strange ever since the talent show…

“It’s just one show… it doesn’t matter…”

“You don’t understand my feelings at all; of course, you think it doesn’t matter!” Lin Ruyi said sternly.

Lu Zhiyao was speechless.
“My dear, I know how you feel! I saved the registration fee with great effort.
This matter is a huge loss for both of us!”

Lin Ruyi seemed to get even angrier now.
“This is also a huge loss to you? You just lost some money! I lost my dream!”

Lu Zhiyao was speechless for a while.
He suddenly realized that this matter was strange so he continued asking.
“Darling, what’s wrong with you?

“I don’t think I did anything wrong, I’m only planning to buy a two-person capsule to be with you.
Why are you so angry about it?” “Why am I angry?” Lin Ruyi’s mood seemed to be getting worse.
“Everything!” They were both speaking in English so this “everything” was rather imposing.

“I’m angry about the inferior syrup drinks mixed with water in the roadside shops, the nauseating greasy snacks, walking in the dark slums accompanied by mice for three hours a day…”

Lu Zhiyao was dumbfounded.
“But didn’t we originally live like this happily? Why are you saying…? Could you be…?”

He saw Lin Ruyi wearing more accessories and the slightly raised belly.
A terrible conjecture appeared in his mind.

Lin Ruyi seemed to be on the brink of collapse.
She covered her face with her hands and only raised her head again with tears in her eyes, but she seemed very determined.

“Sorry, I don’t want to lie to you anymore.
I became that judge’s lover and am pregnant with his child.

“So let’s break up.
We’re done.”

Lu Zhiyao’s expression changed from suspicion to shock and then finally to despair.
His body which was originally leaning forward slightly seemingly lost its support and collapsed on the chair.

Lin Ruyi stood up, about to leave, but Lu Zhiyao grabbed her wrist abruptly.

“He didn’t marry you or give you a lot of money, right? He doesn’t even care about this kid.
If not, you wouldn’t be lost and at the brink of collapse, right?

“Maybe, he… even abandoned you when he knew you were pregnant, right?”

Lin Ruyi’s body trembled slightly.

Lu Zhiyao knew he guessed it right and that he still had a chance.
He quickly added on.
“It’s alright, it’s alright…

“You’ll have a hard time alone.
No one would be willing to accept a pregnant woman.
You need me.
I’ll take care of this kid with you.

“Trust me, I won’t mind this.
I will definitely…”

He was pleading with his voice.

Lin Ruyi was silent for a few seconds before she flung Lu Zhiyao’s hand away.
“This kid has the blood of an upper class.
I don’t want him to become a useless poor guy like you.”

Lin Ruyi left with huge strides decisively.

Lu Zhiyao watched her leave.
He opened his mouth wanting to shout after her, but he would not say anything.
It was as though he was drained of all his energy.
His whole body ‘collapsed’ onto the ground.

“Cut!

“Not bad, pretty good!

“After seven or eight shots, there is finally one that is more satisfactory.
You’ve worked hard, everyone!”

Director Zhu Xiaoce took the lead in applauding and encouraging.
At this time, Lin Ruyi-playing the heroinehurriedly bowed towards Director Zhu Xiaoce and the crew and then to Lu Zhiyao.

“Thank you for your guidance, senior.
I would not be able to be so immersed if it weren’t for senior’s great acting skills.”

Lu Zhiyao smiled.
“Your acting skills were good from the start.
I don’t dare to take credit for it.
Besides, I’m just a ‘box office poison’.
When it comes to acting I’m sure everyone knows who is the one guiding who.”

Pei Qian, who was watching silently, secretly gave a thumbs-up in his heart.

Awesome! The scene just now gave him goosebumps.
He even wanted to hit someone.

Lu Zhiyao breathed life to a brown-noser; the last few lines vividly explained how brown-nosers would not end up well.
Moreover, Lin Ruyi played a Green Tea Bitch right to the dot.

The micro-expressions and emotions at the start were well done.
The last two sentences were the finishing touches.

Pei Qian felt severe discomfort watching on the set.
It was too poisonous! Guys would fall silent, and women would cry when they watch this.

Pei Qian felt that he might faint in anger on the spot if he were to watch this in a movie theater.
Moreover, Pei Qian also realized some major good news.

Perhaps it might be a good thing for Lu Zhiyao’s acting skills to improve? If Lu Zhiyao did not play it well, everyone might not feel this sense of empathy.
They might even secretly feel delighted for Lu Zhiyao’s plight in the movie.
He did not have much affinity with audiences after all.

However, Lu Zhiyao was doing a good job so people would naturally feel the brown-noser aura from him and an instinctive sense of discomfort.

Lu Zhiyao’s fans would surely be angry, right?

More people would criticize this movie then!

Pei Qian suddenly felt light-hearted.
It did not seem such a big deal now that he accidentally helped Lu Zhiyao improve his acting a little.

Even the best actor could not be saved if the script was poisonous enough!

A smile appeared unconsciously on Pei Qian’s face as he stepped forward for a discussion with Director Zhu Xiaoce.
