Are you trying to force me to become a star?

Chapter 95 sequel

The moving company's truck had already left, and Xu Jinyan was driving Reba and Mao Xiaotong to Reba's temporary residence in Beijing.

A moment of silence fell over the car.

Dilraba held Mao Xiaotong's hand in the back seat, glancing occasionally at Xu Jinyan driving in the front.

Her mood suddenly became somewhat strange:

Was Xu Jinyan lamenting during dinner that Mao Xiaotong now has a boyfriend?

And after a while, it really did disappear...

As for Mao Xiaotong, after calming down a bit, she said, "Jinyan, I'm sorry to bother you so late at night."

This was the first time she had spoken to him since they met.

Even though she had spent a long time packing her luggage in the apartment, she remained silent throughout the process because Chen Xiang was present.

Xu Jinyan originally planned to remain a silent driver all night, as it's best for a man not to say anything at times like this.

"It's alright, just get a good rest tonight, you'll be fine after a good night's sleep." He just smiled and said, "I'll play you a song."

[Positive emotions from Mao Xiaotong: +999]

Then he connected to the speaker via Bluetooth and played the full version of "A Mountain Road". The prelude, which sounded like the tinkling of a mountain spring, set a very soothing atmosphere.

Whose dreams do these bluestone slabs hold?

"An autumn rain has fallen, and flowers have scattered all over the ground."

"..."

"After one twist and turn, another obstacle arises."

"Unable to escape, unable to see through"

"The babbling brook finally flowed through the mountains one by one."

"It seems you're still so persistent after all these years."

"..."

[Positive emotions from Mao Xiaotong: +999]

As I listened to the gentle, soothing song, my mind was calmed without me even realizing it.

Dilraba exclaimed, "This song is so good! Why hasn't it been released yet?"

Xu Jinyan: "Isn't this still the champion song? Let's stop fighting amongst ourselves."

"Ruo Meng" has been the champion for four consecutive weeks since the beginning of the year. It's almost Chinese New Year and Xiao Tian is still promoting it.

When the potential of this song is exhausted, a new song will naturally follow.

"...That makes sense."

Soon after, the three arrived at the house that Reba was currently renting, where Mao Xiaotong would stay temporarily.

After the moving company staff left and everything was settled, Xu Jinyan prepared to leave.

Watching his departing figure, Mao Xiaotong couldn't help but say, "Jinyan, thank you so much for today."

[Positive emotions from Mao Xiaotong: +999]

From initially soiling his clothes, to recommending him for a role, and now to rescuing and helping him, it seems she owes Xu Jinyan more and more.

Xu Jinyan smiled, waved, and left.

Dilraba came out to see him off: "Jinyan, thank you so much for your help today. I didn't expect you to be up so late."

Xu Jinyan found Reba's words amusing. Was she taking his actions tonight as helping her?

He moved a little closer and smiled, "So, how are you going to thank me?"

Seeing Xu Jinyan approaching, Dilraba also moved closer, wanting to thank him properly: standing on tiptoe, closing her eyes, slightly opening her mouth, and lingering affectionately.

Xu Jinyan embraced her and finished what had been interrupted during their meal.

After a long while, their lips parted.

After resting for a while, Xu Jinyan was about to make further demands when Reba blushed and dodged, saying, "Xiaotong is still inside. She's in a sensitive and vulnerable state right now, so I have to go back quickly."

Xu Jinyan looked up and sighed deeply, disappointed!

Seeing him like this, Reba couldn't help but laugh, wrapped her arms around his neck and whispered, "The last minute."

……

……

In the middle of the night, Mao Xiaotong updated her Weibo with the following content:

"I never imagined this scene would appear before my eyes."

Just when the public thought "Chen Xiang proposed" and "happy occasion was imminent," they were shocked to find that Mao Xiaotong had unfollowed Chen Xiang.

This caused an uproar in public opinion.

Currently, Chen Xiang is more popular, and his fans are flooding Mao Xiaotong's Weibo with negative comments.

"You've been using your relationship to grab attention for the past four years; you're the one who's using it to tie Chen Xiang down."

"If you're breaking up, don't resort to dirty tricks. Show your actions with evidence."

"If you don't love me, just shut up."

"Does she think she's something special just because she played the second female lead in a big-budget production?"

"Your first sword strike to make a name for yourself—to slay your beloved? Do you think you deserve Master Lin Yuan's recommendation?"

"..."

Such comments filled her Weibo comment section, but Mao Xiaotong paid no attention to them at the moment, and simply listened to the music coming from her headphones and slowly fell asleep.

"The babbling brook finally flows through the mountains one by one~"

"..."

The next morning, she woke up slowly, stretched, and looked at the sunlight streaming in through the window, her mood brightening up without her noticing.

Yesterday is gone, just as a light boat has already passed ten thousand mountains.

Thinking about the song she asked Xu Jinyan for last night, and how he sang it to her all night, she couldn't help but blush.

I opened my phone, and the public opinion from last night had already taken hold and trended on social media.

The first phone call she received was from Li Yitong.

To be honest, although she and Li Yitong had only known each other for a short time, they could only be considered ordinary friends.

But after yesterday's "life and death together," their relationship warmed up dramatically, and the distance between them suddenly shortened considerably.

She did consider asking Li Yitong for help last night, but when she thought that Li Yitong must also be exhausted, she asked Dilraba instead.

"Xiaotong, what's wrong?"

Hearing the matter-of-fact concern coming from the phone, she couldn't help but smile. She'd been through life and death before; what was that little thing that happened last night?

So she told her everything that had happened yesterday, her tone relaxed, without a trace of sadness.

After listening, Li Yitong cursed the scumbag a few times. Seeing that she was in a normal mood, she asked her what she planned to do next.

Mao Xiaotong was silent for a moment: "Forget it, we've been together for four years after all, let's have a decent ending."

As she stepped out of the room, she saw that Dilraba had already prepared breakfast. She greeted her with a smile and thanked her.

During breakfast, Dilraba said something:

"Jinyan, let me remind you that no matter how you want to handle this matter, you should try to preserve the surveillance footage from yesterday's incident."

Mao Xiaotong was taken aback, then nodded.

……

After replying to Mao Xiaotong's thank-you message, Xu Jinyan prepared to go home for the Chinese New Year.

The reason for this reminder is that this drama has only just begun and will continue for several years before it finally comes to a close.

Although two uncertain factors, him and Dilraba, have been added along the way, things may change.

However, it's always good to preserve some evidence.

In short, he felt very honored to be able to participate in this wonderful event.

It seems he needs to get out and about more often in the future. Look at how many important things he participated in on this trip.

Around noon, Chen Xiang posted on Weibo that he and Mao Xiaotong had broken up peacefully.

The next day, an episode of a variety show recorded by Chen Xiang aired, in which he stared blankly at himself and cried bitterly after drinking.

Afterwards, #HeartacheForChenXiang# became a trending topic!

Mao Xiaotong was subjected to even more intense cyberbullying.

For a time, netizens celebrated Lunar New Year's Eve offline while watching the excitement online.

Xu Jinyan and Dilraba asked Mao Xiaotong if she wanted to step in, since although they hadn't caught them in the act, they knew the two hadn't broken up that night.

Mao Xiaotong politely declined, insisting on giving the cold shoulder.
