Chapter 315 Born to shine
"So, so! Tell me the spicy story of how you two met~ I am all ears!" She leaned in with her eyes glittering with curiosity.
Jun snorted. "We only came here so that I introduce her-"
"We met in the library for the first time," Ai answered Chyou's question while trying to rein in her emotions and control her trembling excitement. "I was having trouble fetching one book, and Jun helped me."
"Oh so that's how the sparks flew!" She beamed.
Jun - "..."
He gave her a stare. "Why are you answering her question?"
Ai frowned. "It is rude not to answer questions especially when Zhu Chyou is asking. How can you be like that?"
Chyou chuckled. "Come on, Jun. You didn't expect that you would just introduce us, and I won't even ask any questions? It's you, after all. How can I not be curious?"
Ai nodded.
Jun glared at her. "Don't nod your head too much!"
It was a mistake bringing her here. Maybe this time, just this time I shouldn't have fulfilled her wish...
"Ahahahaha..." Chyou trembled with tears in her eyes a few minutes later. "You used a feather duster on Jun? That's so awesome!" The more she tried to imagine it, the more she laughed. "Ah how I wish I could have seen that...But damn Ai. I have become your fan now! First cold water, feather duster and then cactus...You have some cool methods to deal with Jun's anger. That's it! The first thing I will do after leaving this set is buy a good feather duster!" She earnestly bobbed her head.
Without a doubt, Jun's expression was unsightly.
Ai's face radiated with bliss and blush. "Yes. They are all proven methods. But a feather duster is my most favorite one."
"Me too. I seriously feel like using one on Jun now..." she covered her mouth twitching with laughter.
Before Jun could violently protest, Ai added joyfully. "Oh and he is Jun-cute. My father gave him his nickname. Just like I am Ai-chan."
Jun smiled with danger and anger leaking through it. "My dear girlfriend, you are talking too much."
Chyou choked in her throat. "Jun...c-cute...?"
Ai nodded sincerely.
Chyou brightened and grabbed Jun's hand. "Jun-cute!"
"..."
"Finally your girlfriend's family fulfilled my wish. I always knew that you were so cute. You pretend to be a cold person but have such a warm heart inside. That's the definition of cute. But now we finally got an official name. Ah, my heart is melting," she sniffled. "This calls for a celebration~"
This is torture...This pairing remind me of the twins, he shuddered.F
Before his friend and girlfriend could damage his delicate heart anymore, he covered Ai's mouth to stop her from talking.
"Mmpf!" Ai complained and resisted this violent behavior.
Unaffected, Jun smiled at Chyou. "Zhu Chyou. You are incessantly talking about Ai and my relationship, but what about yours? Isn't it time for you to find a good boyfriend too? What is the status of the Queen of the entertainment industry's relationship?"
"Hey, don't divert the topic to me," Chyou glared at him.
He sneered at first, but then his gaze slowly dimmed as he stared at her.
"What?" Chyou tilted her head. "Why are you looking at me like that? Don't tell me you got a guy you can set me up with?" She harrumphed. "I don't need anybody right now."
Lie. You are secretly seeing someone. But that is a relationship which will never give you happiness...
Chyou then noticed that even Ai's eyes looked solemn and painful for some reason. "Hey, what virus have you spread to her? Why is my cute fan looking at me so sadly?"
Ai's smile faltered for the first time. Just like Jun, she knew what had happened in the last life. She had left the writing world, but she didn't stop following Chyou. She watched her movies and always supported her as a fan. But the trajectory that Chyou's life had taken was filled with a lot of grief.
She remembered that Chyou had gotten married to the A-lister actor, Cheng Yin. They were in a blissful relationship and soon tied the knot. But the marriage faced hardships when she found out. that he was into drugs.
Chyou and Cheng Yin looked like a picture perfect couple, but...
Perfection is just an ideal...Ai smiled with a trace of sadness.
Jun, too, recalled what had transpired.
Naturally, Chyou was beyond shocked by this revelation. But as an understanding wife, she tried her best to drag Cheng Yin out of that hell and darkness of drugs. But he didn't want to. The more she insisted for him to live a clean life, the more their marriage became rocky. They had constant fights and arguments. Frustrated from her, he had secretly begun to cheat on her too.
That was the tipping point when this truth came out. Chyou was pregnant with his child at that point, but she suffered a miscarriage due to extreme stress.
Her father, Zhu Xiaosi, was already hell furious and wanted her to leave him the moment he learned that Cheng Yin was into drugs. But with cheating and his daughter's miscarriage, there was no stopping him anymore.
Within a single day, he destroyed Cheng Yin's entire existence and career as an actor. He uprooted his popularity and reputation and made his life miserable. He had his revenge from Cheng Yin for hurting Chyou.
But what was gone was gone.
Chyou's child was no more. Her marriage has broken apart, and her career was in shambles because she focused all her energy on helping Cheng Yin. That was the darkest period in her life she had to cope with.
But Chyou slowly and steadily stood up on her feet once again. She accepted the loss of her child and the ruin of her marriage. Little by little, she re-entered the entertainment industry. It was a difficult journey as her golden era was long left behind. But she made her place back in the film industry as the top soaring actress once again.
"This queen isn't afraid of falling. Even if I fall, I will stand right back up because I am born to shine."
