Hey, first of all, thanks for reading my lousy Machine Translation. To be honest, I’d really like it if you guys corrected the mistakes I made. But please speak nicely and politely. My heart is not strong enough to read your too-harsh comments. Have a nice day. 🙂
Chapter 90
Math doesn’t work, neither does physics, chemistry, or English.
Shi Zhi: What does this show? This shows that knowledge is power!
You need to study.
Shi Zhi looked at Tang Yunling, and Tang Yunling looked at Shi Zhi. Suddenly, the latter seemed to get something and took two steps back, “Don’t try to make me study. I’d rather leave this world!”
If she had to choose between studying and dying, she’d choose the latter.
What a joke. She had finally stopped studying after all the hard work she had to do to become a popular young actress, and now she had to study again? Then what was all her struggle for these years?
Shi Zhi noticed Tang Yunling’s resistance, “Don’t worry, I don’t plan on forcing you to study… you’re past the age of learning. It’s harder now.”
Shi Zhi had made her stalker study advanced math because he was still in high school. She also made the contracted artists in her studio go to school because they were at the age they should be studying.
Tang Yunling had already graduated.
Tang Yunling: Is Shi Zhi implying she’s old?
Shi Zhi is poisonous.
Shi Zhi had a way to deal with such drama queens, “So, do you want to study?” She could tutor Tang Yunling if she paid extra.
She was already getting up to find study materials for Tang Yunling.
Tang Yunling shook her head like a rattle drum, no need to bother.
Shi Zhi understood the seriousness of the situation. What she encountered before was just small trouble, but Tang Yunling’s case differed.
“You can’t continue like this.” Big trouble would come.
…
Tang Yunling was genuinely scared. She had already removed her makeup, which was not as flawless as usual but looked more real.
She kept her head down while Shi Zhi spoke.
Tang Yunling knew Shi Zhi was right, but she had never acted on it.
She was afraid of offending people, afraid no one would love her anymore.
Shi Zhi didn’t persuade Tang Yunling further. Everyone makes their own choices and isn’t close enough for such interventions.
Tang Yunling changed the subject, “Can I stay here tonight?”
Shi Zhi, “I’ve already asked Brother Quan to notify your manager to come pick you up.”
Tang Yunling’s manager had already received her distress message and was on the way. Brother Quan told her that Tang Yunling was in Shi Zhi’s room.
He doubted his own eyes.
While waiting for her manager, Tang Yunling was treated fairly well. Shi Zhi had plenty of food, and Tang Yunling ate some too.
Shi Zhi took a piece of chive pie and saw Tang Yunling staring at her. She asked, “Do you want some?”
Tang Yunling did, but she thought eating it wasn’t suitable for her image. So she said halfway, “I usually only eat tasteless food.”
“Eating this has a strong flavor. If you insist…”
If Shi Zhi insisted on inviting her, she would reluctantly accept, giving Shi Zhi a face since she helped her.
But Shi Zhi didn’t persuade Tang Yunling as expected. After finishing, she ate the chive pie and told Tang Yunling, “It does have a strong flavor.”
“If you don’t believe me, you can come and smell it.”
Tang Yunling, “…” Is that what she wanted?
Food does have a soothing power. Shi Zhi didn’t talk much, just enough to calm Tang Yunling’s heart.
It wasn’t easy to admit, but having Shi Zhi there was reassuring and warm.
Shi Zhi comforted Tang Yunling a few more times and then called Brother Quan.
“Why hasn’t Tang Yunling’s manager arrived yet? Did something happen?”
Brother Quan wasn’t in the room either.
Tang Yunling felt warmer inside. Shi Zhi even considered her manager’s delay, which showed she was worried about her discomfort.
The manager was likely stuck in traffic.
Then Tang Yunling heard Shi Zhi muttering.
“If something happened, it’d be troublesome. No one would come to pick her up, right? I need rest; she eats a lot…” Although teasing Tang Yunling was fun, Shi Zhi was tired and had a regular schedule.
Cold and heartless.
Tang Yunling said quietly, “…I can hear you.”
Shi Zhi was so straightforward, not avoiding her at all.
Tang Yunling thought of a saying: Your gentleness is all a facade.
…
Tang Yunling’s manager finally arrived and took her away. Brother Quan had already learned the whole story from the team.
“I think she might try to ride your wave of popularity.”
The last time Shi Zhi helped Tang Yunling, she eagerly tried to stir up publicity. But Brother Quan knew Shi Zhi wouldn’t ignore such situations.
He also thought that a big scandal might occur if Tang Yunling continued this way.
Shi Zhi reacted indifferently, hoping there wouldn’t be any big news. While Brother Quan was talking, she was going through her private messages.
Shi Zhi often received various strange private messages expressing their love for her, venting secrets, and making wishes.
“Wishing to lose ten pounds,” “Wishing for good grades on finals,” “Wishing for a girlfriend to fall from the sky!”
Shi Zhi frowned and said no.
Want to lose weight? Control your diet and exercise; want good grades? Study hard; a girlfriend won’t fall from the sky. If you like someone, you need to put in the effort to pursue them.
Can private messages bring a girlfriend?
Modern youth always talk about wanting sweet love, buying all kinds of love-attracting bracelets amulets, reposting on Weibo, shouting at handsome guys online, “I can do it…” but in reality, they stay at home all day, too timid to talk to a cute guy they like, and respond with “Get lost” when a guy expresses interest.
The day after winning Best Actress, Shi Zhi gave the award trophy to Cheng Yu.
…
Cheng Yu had recently done many things for Shi Zhi, and she had received many gifts from him.
She had wanted to give Cheng Yu a gift in return but didn’t know what to give. Cheng Yu seemed to lack nothing and had no particular hobbies.
She couldn’t give him a set of tableware, could she?
Treating freeloading as justified.
Just as she got this award, Shi Zhi thought it was special and suitable.
“Sorry, the award ceremony was too busy last night.” Shi Zhi apologized first. Cheng Yu had sent her messages, and she had only replied briefly.
Cheng Yu’s first reaction was, “Are you tired?”
“Do you want to get a massage? I know a good place nearby. It’s a membership-based spa, very private, safe, and hygienic…”
Artists may seem glamorous and receive much love, but popular artists also get tired.
Shi Zhi, “Huh?”
Cheng Yu had always been like this; he made her feel no burden, even when he was around her.
Shi Zhi said there was no need for a massage, and she accepted his recommendation. “I’m just afraid you’ll feel I’ve been neglecting you.”
Cheng Yu’s lips curled slightly, a fleeting smile that he quickly suppressed. He looked into Shi Zhi’s eyes and shook his head.
“I’m not important.”
Shi Zhi wouldn’t allow such a statement, “You are important.” Without Cheng Yu around, there would be no one to bait her fishing hooks, slowing down her fishing speed.
Cheng Yu remained calm.
Shi Zhi told Cheng Yu, “Come, I’ll show you a big treasure.” It was time to give him the gift.
Now, it was Cheng Yu’s turn to be puzzled.
Shi Zhi handed the trophy to Cheng Yu while observing his expression. Would he be happy?
Cheng Yu seemed quite happy, though a bit cautious, which made Shi Zhi sigh of relief. She then told him he could take the trophy with him.
The next day, the trophy reappeared in Shi Zhi’s office.
Shi Zhi looked surprised at the trophy, “Why did you bring this back?”
Cheng Yu, “It’s been cleaned.”
Shi Zhi: ???
“But I gave it to you as a gift.”
They stared at each other, both puzzled.
Cheng Yu thought Shi Zhi had given him the trophy to clean it. There were indeed many fingerprints on it, making it a fingerprint collector.
Even so, Cheng Yu felt he had made significant progress. Shi Zhi entrusted him with this symbol of honor instead of anyone else.
He hadn’t realized she was directly giving it to him…
Cheng Yu’s heart was pounding fast, thumping loudly.
…
Shi Zhi was then urgently contacted by Tang Yunling. Tang Yunling would occasionally message her, and now she no longer used a small account, as Shi Zhi would always expose her.
Tang Yunling: Shi Zhi, comfort me.
Shi Zhi proactively told Cheng Yu it was Tang Yunling.
Cheng Yu, “You guys talk. Don’t mind me. I have a meeting to attend.” He remembered Tang Yunling, a woman from the entertainment industry.
Cheng Yu, indeed, needed to step away and cool down for a bit.
Shi Zhi didn’t immediately ask Tang Yunling what had happened. Comforting was fine, but it required money.
Tang Yunling, “…”
Shi Zhi searched online and quickly found out what had happened.
The incident started when Tang Yunling ate a chive pie on the street. Since she usually had a goddess image, being seen eating that by passersby led many to say her image was ruined, and they unfollowed her.
Shi Zhi couldn’t help but mock, “Your fans are too fragile.”
They scattered with just a breeze.
Those who unfollowed weren’t real fans anyway.
Shi Zhi comforted Tang Yunling, “Look on the bright side. If a lot of fans leave, your stalkers might also decrease.”
Tang Yunling, “…”
Shi Zhi, what kind of twisted logic is that?
…
Cheng Yu was unexpectedly given Shi Zhi’s Best Actress trophy. He wanted to show off but had no way, wishing he could carry it with him, yet afraid it might get damaged.
He could only show it off a bit to his assistant.
His assistant was well-paid and had shared, so he wouldn’t leak it.
Assistant, “Wow, is this the Best Actress trophy Shi Zhi won?!” He was hired as an assistant but recently felt like he was becoming an actor.
Cheng Yu felt refreshed, staring at the crystal trophy, never getting enough.
Shi Zhi had been busy all night, so exhausted, yet she still noticed him and gave him such a precious trophy.
His lips uncontrollably curled into a smile. Holding the trophy with his left hand, he opened the news app on his phone with his right hand.
Cheng Yu instantly spotted Shi Zhi’s name in the headlines.
Opening it revealed a few pictures with titles like:
“Shi Zhi and Tang Yunling: Love and Hate,” “Shi Zhi’s Night Visit to a Fragrant Boudoir”…
The news informed Cheng Yu that Shi Zhi had such things happen on a busy night?
