Shen Mianmian chuckled, "Don’t just care about us, take care of yourself too. When you’re out there, far from home, where the language is different and you can only communicate in English, it’s quite lonely."
Lu Siyuan raised his fist, "Don’t worry! I adapt very well; no one can bully me."
As they spoke, they unknowingly arrived near Shen Mianmian’s place. Lu Siyuan waved to the others and, without looking back, strode home.
"Ugh! Lu Siyuan is so heartless. We haven’t been together that long, and he’s already going abroad," Yang Xiaoxi said somewhat gloomily. Her budding feelings were about to wither.
"Going to miss him?" Shen Mianmian teased her.
"Not at all," Yang Xiaoxi stubbornly replied. "I just think he’s heartless. What’s wrong with staying at Beijing University? Why go abroad? What’s so great about it there? He might even get bullied."
Shen Mianmian smiled faintly, "Everyone thinks differently. Siyuan is a person with his own opinions. If he wants to go abroad, he must have his reasons. Let’s just wish him well."
Yang Xiaoxi sighed, "It seems I’m fated to love him, but destined not to be with him."
She had thought that after graduating together, spending more time could lead to something special.
Shen Mianmian gently hugged her as a form of comfort.
Because of Lu Siyuan’s plans to go abroad, Yang Xiaoxi was depressed all afternoon, but by the next day, she was back to her usual self. After school the next day, He Nan came to see Shen Mianmian, and she took the opportunity to talk about Lu Nian’s situation.
He Nan frowned, "Do you plan to go?"
"I couldn’t refuse at the time, so I agreed to go for the audition. But Xiaoxi and I have no acting experience; we might just get eliminated. If you don’t want me to go, it’s okay not to," Shen Mianmian spoke softly.
She had never thought about entering the film industry, so she didn’t have high expectations.
After some thought, He Nan simply said, "Since you’ve agreed, give it a try. I’m free on Saturday morning, so I can take you there."
Hearing this, Shen Mianmian was somewhat surprised. She had thought that Big Brother He would oppose her going, but he agreed so readily. After thinking about it, she couldn’t help but ask.
"But what if I pass? If I get through the audition and then say I don’t want to act, that would be bad."
He Nan smiled, "If you pass, it means you have the talent for it. If you also like the industry, there’s no reason you can’t do it." His meaning was clear—if Shen Mianmian wanted to enter the film industry in the future, he would not oppose it.
"But..." Shen Mianmian hesitated, "I’ve heard that the industry is quite treacherous..." Content orıginally comes from 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡•𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚•𝙣𝙚𝙩
She didn’t spell it out clearly, but she knew that He Nan understood her meaning.
He Nan’s eyes flashed with a dangerous glow, and his pupils narrowed slightly, "As long as you want to act, don’t worry about the rest. No one dares to touch you."
Hearing this, Shen Mianmian felt completely reassured and, like a child, dived into his arms, "Big Brother He, you’re spoiling me so much, I might get used to it."
In her previous life, she had never experienced being cherished and pampered. She never expected to have it all in this life.
If in her previous life she hadn’t been so meek and had dared to resist, could she have met Big Brother He?
The answer was unknown.
She took a deep breath and buried her head in his chest. The past life was over; in this life, she must not be meek again.
