Chapter 63: Undercurrents Dance and Flutter

  Not the "heavenly darling" of the past, nor the "award-winning performer genius" and other endless streams of positive praise.

  For this normally clean and tidy heavenly queen of pop, this time there are all sorts of filthy and almost delusional rumors.

  "The emperor's spoiled daughter, it turns out to be like this!" Along with a photo of her fallen and disheveled state at a nightclub, as well as her desperate and helpless expression while being chased by paparazzi.

  "The jade girl's true face, hidden rules and regulations, suspicious strength!" Attached are all sorts of speculations, actually there is no evidence or information, straightforward language is false and seems to be nonsense.

  "Filming for 'Business World' has started smoothly, with the male and female leads falling in love at first sight. It is said that they are already living together." Attached is a photo of the film's male and female leads standing together in front of a villa in real life. Normally, every work will have some gossip or hype surrounding it, but this is Yang Lei we're talking about, an artist who has never been involved in any scandals.

  There are some topics in the entertainment industry that everyone knows, but almost no one believes. However, many times, the existence of the entertainment industry is just for people's entertainment, and people really don't care about the truth or falsehood of the stories. They look at those dazzling stars and always have all sorts of indecent fantasies. At the same time, as long as someone makes a statement that conforms to their thoughts, no matter whether it's true or false, they can't help but launch passionate attacks and accusations.

  She threw down the newspaper, as if a thousand pounds of weight had pressed on her body. Maybe it was because she was tired, or maybe it was something else. Yang Lei curled up on the sofa and slowly took a sip of strong bitter coffee.

  The slender hand picked up the newspaper and gently asked, "Do you mind these?"

  The bitter coffee subtly spread its bitterness in her heart, and Yang Lei looked at her with a faint smile: "Auntie"! In the barely radiant smile, it was clear that she wasn't indifferent.

  Lin Ye slowly sat down beside her, his slender arm gently stroking her shoulder: "The glamour of the entertainment industry and these things are directly proportional. Once you enter the entertainment industry, you should be prepared to face this kind of blow. Experiencing some scandals is also good, at least when you're alone, you won't feel lost."

  Yang Lei's body stiffened for a moment, she understood that as someone who was more aware of others' feelings than herself, how could she not know?

  It's almost impossible for a star to have no scandals at all, unless you have enough connections and background to easily control public opinion and the media. Lin Ye isn't stupid, she deeply knows her roots, of course, just one look and you know she took a shortcut.

  But the cost of taking shortcuts is that no matter how excellent you are, you can never shake off the fact that you're a vase, because your growth and experience have become inversely proportional to your position.

  Holding her arm, Yang Lei buried himself in her arms like a child and muttered: "I knew it all, just unexpectedly, these years really never experienced any of this."

  "So, it won't be a bad thing for you either, just a bit of trouble!"

  Yang Lei gently lifted his head and looked at her, the face with wind and frost still had a warm and gentle smile. She suddenly understood that only such a woman could give birth to an excellent son like him. Having such a mother, Shao Qi was really very happy.

  ………

  Different environments, the surroundings are naturally changing in thousands of ways. Shaoyi's university life has already started for more than two months. The north and south of November are still warm and cool, but it has slowly started snowing.

  Snowflakes fluttered down from the gray sky, like dense salt grains, falling to the ground, crystal clear and snow-white. The shrill wind howled with all its might, as if the snowflakes were sharp blades, carrying a fierce and almost piercing coldness that seemed to cut through human flesh.

  The dormitory, which had already been supplied with warm air, was warm and cozy, as if it were a scene from southern China in April after the spring warmth and flowers bloomed. At this time, students were almost all indulged in this warmth and couldn't extricate themselves, they almost all hibernated in their dormitories and didn't go out.

  No choice, indoors is warm and blossoming, outdoors is icy and cold, the difference between below zero and above zero degrees Celsius is displayed in this small place.

  Inside and outside the house, entering paradise and exiting hell, truly an icy fire double heaven.

  "What kind of person are you?" In the dormitory, the warm air unique to winter drove away the chill that this season should have had, wrapping everything in a wonderful temperature. Shao Qi looked at Li Yifan, who was rarely not typing on his keyboard by the bedhead, and asked out loud.

  Cheng Mian and Yu Cheng lost in their regular weekend game, so they went to the cafeteria to buy food as usual. Since there were only the two of them left in the dormitory, Shao Qi didn't have any scruples.

  Lui Yifan seemed to be stunned for a moment, his slightly cold eyes gazing at him from under his messy bangs: "What am I? Am I not just a normal three-nothing man?"

  A strange and chilly atmosphere hung in the air, and Shao Qi felt that his eardrums seemed to have responded. So-called "three-nothing" men, for people like them, meant: no girlfriend, no goals, and no family background.

  So on weekends, men who don't have a girlfriend and haven't considered whether to pursue further studies in the future, and also don't have a stable career path, seem to have no choice but to stay at home.

  "A smart person doesn't speak in riddles, you didn't really come here to study hard and attend university properly, did you?" Shao Qi stood quietly by his bed, even though Li Yifan was on the upper bunk, his line of sight had to be slightly raised, but he wouldn't feel that his presence was inferior or lacking in any way.

  "Hmm... A mechanical smile flickered from the thin lips, barely concealing the sarcasm that seeped out from the bones. The warm temperature was tinged with a chilly tone as the words were slowly thrown out."

  "You've watched too many spy movies, your imagination is really rich, it's a pity you didn't become a screenwriter!" Lei Yifan leaned in close, their faces inches apart, the tips of their noses almost touching.

  At close range, the posture still carries a hint of ambiguity or something else, under the messy long hair, the clear and elegant face is still not visible, Shao Qi only vaguely saw that cold eyes, he was sure that there was no emotion at all.

  Wei Wei took a slight step back, and Shao Qi said calmly: "How long do you want to hide? Cheng Mian and the others might not know, but you can't hide it from me."

  "What an arrogant and self-aggrandizing attitude! Your imagination is too rich!"

  A disdainful snort, seemingly mocking Shao Qi's self-righteousness, ridiculing him for thinking he was more meticulous or intelligent than Cheng Mian and the others.
