Starlight Has No Past

Chapter 2 Part 3

They didn’t go to bed until after midnight.

As she was half awake, she heard Qianxi answer a phone call. Qianxi
went to the balcony to talk: “Aunty, right, she’s staying with me. She’s fine.
She has taken her pills and is now sleeping…...no problem, I’m living by
myself. It’s no trouble at all!”

Ye Qiao closed her eyes, suddenly feeling extremely exhausted.

Qianxi’s voice could still be heard: “Aye, my cousin’s such a calm person
normally. Why does she act so differently when it involves Gu Jin. Oh, don’t
worry, I’ll take good care of her!”

“She has this medical problem and it’s not easy for her to get ahead in this
business. Please be more understanding of my cousin……”

Ye Qiao’s heart beat rhythmically in the dark night. She could clearly hear
the beat, like a hammer beating her eardrums one stroke after another.

It seemed to remind her that this heart wasn’t her own; she had to cherish
her life.

She couldn’t get away.

The next morning, Qianxi’s new boyfriend came to take her to work. They
would drop off Ye Qiao at her place on their way to work. The surgeon was
about her own age: “I heard from Qianxi that Ms. Ye had heart transplant before?”

“En.”

“How long ago was that?”

“Ten years.”

Dr. Fu was taken back a bit: “Ten years ago the transplant field wasn’t that
mature yet. It’s rare to see someone doing so well like Ms. Ye.”

He was about to continue when Qianxi pushed him to stop, but was too
concentrated on driving and didn’t notice: “Actors usually have to work day
and night, in the cold and heat. It’s not very suitable for a patient like you. If you
have a better choice, Ms. Ye, you should consider changing to a different profession.”

When they arrived at Ye Qiao’s place, Qianxi hurried go out of the car to
apologize to Ye Qiao: “Cousin, don’t get angry at me. I only briefly mentioned that
my cousin had a heart transplant before. I didn’t expect him to remember that. He’s
that kind of person who becomes talkative when the topic has anything to do with
his research project.”

Ye Qiao smiled lightly: “It’s nothing. I can tell that he cares a lot about you, coming
to pick you up this early in the morning.”

“He’s alright, hehe.” Qianxi laughed: “You aren’t any younger yourself, once you
become famous, no one will dare marry you anymore. You better hurry and find a
new brother-in-law for me!”

Ye Qiao remained silent, Qianxi realized that she had misspoken. Ye Qiao spoke
as Qianxi was about to correct herself: “I will. It’s just that I haven’t found the one
I can put up with yet.”

After the heavy rain last night, the bushes and flowers in her residential area were
somewhat in a mess. Next to the building she lived there was a crabapple tree
which was droopy from the rain, the juice from its fruit splattered the ground.

Ye Qiao got into the building and pushed the button to call the elevator as she
checked her cell phone.

Her agent dragged her into a new WeChat group, named <The Watcher>. There
were a dozen or so people in the group and the first one was Gu Jin.

The one she had blocked last night came back to her world again. There was
nothing she could do. She had signed the contract, though she was only the third
lead. She signed it at the time because the director was Gu Jin, though the movie
was going to be filmed at a remote farming village. She even happily signed on with
a lowered pay.

As she thought back now, it was the silliest thing for a woman to do to lower her
own personal value.

The elevator reached the 23rd floor. The doors on both sides opened at the same
time. She was buried in her own thoughts and walked out of the elevator subconsciously.
She punched in the 6 digits password on the lock-- -- “Di.”

The door opened.

Ye Qiao looked up and was stunned-- --The number said 2302, it wasn’t her apartment.

She found herself unable to react to what had just happened. There was a priceless
oil painting hanging on the doorway and a picture of Jesus hanging behind the candlesticks.
It sure wasn’t one of her decorations. She came out of the wrong elevator door.

But, how could she open the door to this apartment?

As she was standing there in confusion, she heard a dog barking from inside. A
German shepherd jumped out with lightning speed, staring down the intruder.

The alarm in Ye Qiao’s head began to sound, she was in trouble.

Starlight Has No Past

Chapter 2 Part 2

Zhou Tingshen paid for his purchase first and left.  Ye Qiao brought her
medicine to the register, ready to say goodbye to him. Unexpectedly, he
returned to the store, strode back next to the counter, and grabbed the
clerk’s hand under the counter.

Ye Qiao turned her head, stunned.

The clerk shouted as she struggled: “Let go of me! What are you doing!”

There was no sympathy in his eyes. He pried open the clerk’s tightly clasped
fingers and took her cell phone, deleting the first two pictures on the phone.
“You’re crazy, it’s none of your……” The clerk shouted; before she could
utter the word ‘business’, she withered under his chilling glare.

Ye Qiao quietly observed at the side. When she saw his eyes-- --The way
he furrowed his eyebrows was quite frightening, as if he was a fierce animal,
born to kill.

He released the clerk’s wrist, leaving the skin red. Tears welled up in the
clerk’s eyes from the pain. What was the big deal of taking a picture of an
actress and a man coming into the drug store and sending it to her friends?
She stared at him and cursed in a low voice.

Ye Qiao understood what had happened and exchanged a look with him
without saying a word. Even though he was doing her a favor, Ye Qiao still
thought that it was too violent of a reaction.

She paid for her medicine and walked out of the store. With the night breeze
blowing, she felt more peaceful and looked back at him: “Thank you.”

“No need.” Zhou Tingshen sat down on the edge of a flower bed by the
roadside, without paying attention to Ye Qiao. He opened a bottle and
swallowed an anti-inflammatory pill. Then he started to apply alcohol to
his wounds with little expression.

Ye Qiao quietly watched with hands in her pockets.

He had more injuries over his body than it seemed. There was a slash on
his right shoulder near the neck. It was difficult to reach, but he finished
hastily applying alcohol over it. He was rough on himself as well, acting like
a fugitive.

But despite being a fugitive, he couldn’t paste on the bandage over the
slash accurately.

Ye Qiao went up to him and took the bandage: “Let me help you.”

She peeled off the paper slips and bent over to apply it for him.

They were so close together that they could smell the other, the fragrance
of a women’s hair and the smell of alcohol mixed with the faint smell of
tobacco and blood on the man.

The man didn’t smell pleasant, yet Ye Qiao wasn’t disgusted by it. Maybe it
was because his body was warm and his rough skin gave her a sense of
dependability.

Unfortunately, appearances usually turned out not to be true.

“It’s done.”

She straightened up and put all the trash into a plastic bag: “I’ll throw them
away for you.”

He lit up another cigarette again and squinted at her: “Sure.”

Ye Qiao turned around to walk away, then threw the bag into the trash can.

Zhou Tingshen’s eyes quietly followed her. She suddenly paused, pulled
out her cell phone from her pocket. Her back obviously stiffened a bit.

There were several missed calls and one text message on her phone screen.

Ye Qiao didn’t even bother to check the message, deleting it and blocking
the sender at the same time.

When she went back to Qianxi’s place, Qianxi was sitting in the living room
talking on the phone: “Ah, she’s at my place. Yeah, she’s fine. She’s gone
out to get medicine. Ah, she’s in a good mood. It’s normal medicine, en, right……”

Ye Qiao went over to grab the phone out of Qianxi’s hand: “Gu Jin, how long
are you going to linger around?”

Before the other side could say anything, she hung up the phone.

Qianxi led her to sit down on the sofa: “Ahhh, cousin, don’t get angry at me…...
I didn’t mean to talk to him on the phone. He said that you left the banquet early
and no one answered the phone at your place. He’s afraid that you got too
depressed……”

Ye Qiao sneered: “Does he have to be so full of himself? How old am I now,
I would jump from the building just because of a breakup?” She tried her best
to control her emotions and wanted to take her pills. But her hands were shaking,
spilling the pills out of her palm.

“Don’t, don’t, don’t.” Qianxi seized all the pills. “If you take too many of these,
it will be exactly what that jerk’s hoping for!”

You’re Beautiful When You Smile

Chapter 35 Part 2

Lu Sicheng paused.

Under the eager gaze of Tong Yao, Lu Sicheng curved up the corners of his
lips and slightly moved his body forward, towards the person who had her chin
on his bed-- --When they became especially close, he could feel that she was
now holding her breath, her pupils had shrunk slightly, and her fingers on the
bed quietly grasped the bedsheet…...just like a bristled feline.

Lu Sicheng reached out to touch her ear with his slender and slightly cold finger
tip. He watched her pale skin quickly turn red. His smile widened……

Tong Yao felt like her heart was going to burst through her ribs at that moment-- --

Lu Sicheng’s pupils were dark brown, like the color of chocolate.

The unfamiliar masculine smell was inches away.

At this point, they were really, really close to each other. It was so close that if
she just happened to move forward a little bit, she would have touched his curled
up lips……

-- --Tong Yao felt that she was standing at the edge of death.

Until, the man’s big hand changed directions. The hand next to her ear suddenly
covered her whole face, everything smelled like hand soap. Her head was lightly
pushed back-- --

“Even if I’m a pervert, I won’t do anything to you. You think I don’t have any sense
of taste? Are you crazy or am I an idiot?”

She heard the man’s cold voice.

Tong Yao: “.................................................”

Tong Yao froze at the position where she had been pushed back and fixed her
eyes on the ceiling for a short while…...till her face finally cooled down. She stiffly
lowered her neck to look at the man who had already turned to face her with his
back and continued with his game on his handheld. She silently got up from the
ground and stood behind him with her hands on her waist-- --

The man seemed oblivious to her glare.

After she had been glaring at his wide back up and down several times, he didn’t
even seem to care. Tong Yao finally couldn’t take it anymore. She raised her foot
to give his muscular waistline a vengeful kick with the words, “you win.” She turned
to leave Lu Sicheng’s room like a raging Godzilla with flames under her feet-- --

The door slammed shut with a loud thud.

It was so strong that the windows were shaking.

After the room quieted down, except for the sounds coming from the game, Lu
Sicheng put down his handheld and used his hand to rub that part of his waist
that just received the kick.

It didn’t really hurt.

“......Tsk.”

Those Sweet Times

Chapter 18 Part 2

Daji was doing very well this match.

Watching Lin Chuyan play so well, Xiang Nuan felt that it was only in her
imagination that they had fallen from Gold to Silver.

Yet, the reason Lin Chuyan could play so well was also thanks to Zhang Fei’s
protection. Lin Chuyan was still too inexperienced with the game to do anything
fancy. All he could do was be nasty and cunning.

Without Xiang Nuan’s protection, Daji probably would have died many times
over.

Zheng Dongkai had a better understanding of these kind of games. He discovered
something after they had played for a while: “Xiang Nuan, you play Zhang Fei
pretty well. Especially the timing on your ultimate.”

“Really……” Being a sidekick for Lin Chuyan everyday, no one had ever praised
her playing skills. She was especially happy: “Maomaoyu and Daqiu, you two hide
behind me. I’m very strong, I’ll take any hit for you guys.”

“We’re Maomaoqiu and Dayu……”

“Oh, oh, sorry, sorry. I said it wrong. I was just about to correct myself……”

“No problem. I feel especially safe hiding between Zhang Fei’s legs.” Dayu, who
was playing Lu Ban, said.

Xiang Nuan thought what kind of description was this? ?

However, Lu Ban was very tiny compared to the big and tall Zhang Fei. When
they were side by side…...uhr, it did look like that……

They had a very pleasant time playing together. Occasionally, they would face
some teams with very strong players.

“Why are there such strong players still at Gold?” Xiang Nuan was curious, finding
it strange to meet such players in their matches.

“Those are power leveling teams.” Zheng Dongkai explained. “It’s easy to meet
people power leveling in team ranked games.”

After they finished playing, Lin Chuyan sent a WeChat message to Xiang Nuan:
You still want a divorce?

Xiang Nuan sent over a marriage certificate of Daji and Zhang Fei to console him.

Lin Chuyan’s Daji was doing really well today and deserved to be married.

Hum, Zhang Fei had become a thrice married man in just a few days.

Xiang Nuan received a message from the Esports Club about the changes to the
competition events. She took a look and found out there was a newly added event,
“International Mahjong.” She forwarded the competition events to Lin Chuyan and
asked: Take a look. See if there’s any other event you want to do?

Lin Chuyan checked the list and answered: Please sign me up for Rhythm Master
and International Mahjong.

Xiang Nuan: Wow, young man, you’re very talented!

Xiang Nuan: Are you interested in joining our Esports Club?

She was in a good mood and only asking in jest.

Surprisingly, Lin Chuyan replied: Sure.

Just like that, Xiang Nuan recruited a new member.

-- --

Xiang Nuan turned in Lin Chuyan’s registration form and the application form to
Waiwai. Waiwai was very excited, as if he had bagged a big client. Xiang Nuan was
curious: “Waiwai xuezhang, why are you so excited? Do you have a crush on him?”

“Xiang Nuan, you don’t understand. Lin Chuyan is a popular guy at school, with a
lot of fangirls. It’s a big boost to our club for him to join us.”

Xiang Nuan asked: “Why is there no Esports Club at the main campus?”

“There was one over there before. But it got dissolved because they wouldn’t interact
with us and couldn’t manage to do any event on their own…...Xiang Nuan, you tell Lin
Chuyan that his application has been approved. Remind him to come to the meetings.”

You’re Beautiful When You Smile

Chapter 35 Part 1

Half an hour later, the door to Lu Sicheng’s room was kicked open as he
was lying in bed playing a game. He lifted his eyelids watching his team’s
mid walk inside with her hands on her waist-- --

“So, you saw everything.”

The person standing in front of him was blocking the light. His hands paused
from the game and took a look the person in front of his bed. Then he cast his
eyes down to continue with his game-- --completely ignoring her. After a long
while, as Tong Yao starting to suspect whether he was deaf, the man briefly
spoke: “I’m not blind.”

Tong Yao felt her face starting to burn: “The prints are very small!”

“Oh, but I saw them.”

Tong Yao could hear the fighting sound in his game. In her head, she used an
AK47 and head shot the man in front of her numerous times-- --

“Delete that nickname.”

“You didn’t knock when you came in.”

“Delete that nickname.”

“What nickname?”

“Delete that nickname.”

“I don’t know what are you talking about?”

“Delete that nickname.”

“Remember what you said when I asked you to delete your Weibo post before?
-- --No.”

Lu Sicheng flipped to the side, facing Tong Yao with his back. Tong Yao gasped
and pounced on him to shake his body: “That was so long ago, how can you hold
that grudge for so long? Besides, you shut the door on my face first. How can you
be this vengeful!”

Annoyed by the constant shaking, Lu Sicheng threw his handheld on the pillow
and turned around to sit up a little. He used one hand to support his head with a
spurious smile: “You have good memory, too.”

Tong Yao stared at his devilish expression for quite a long time, for a brief moment
she almost felt that he had been possessed by Lu Yue’s spirit…...After their staring
match had gone on for some time, Tong Yao sat down crossed legged on the floor
right next to Lu Sicheng’s bed, trying to reason with him: “That nickname is too weird.
What if someone else see my underwear again in the future…...Then, they connect
the dots with that nickname, what do you think people will think?”

“......” Lu Sicheng stopped smiling. He glanced over the girl, who was resting her chin
on the bed and quite earnestly trying to reason with him, and said flatly: “You’re thinking
of showing that outfit to someone again?”

Tong Yao: “......”

He did make some sense.

But, now was not the time to mull over that problem.

Tong Yao: “I certainly don’t plan to do that again. But I feel quite uneasy with a name
like that on your cell phone.”

Lu Sicheng: “What are you uneasy about?”

Tong Yao: “Don’t you feel that using the underwear print of your teammate as her
WeChat name seems…...something a pervert does?”

“Pervert?”
