Starlight Has No Past
Chapter 45 Part 1

Ye Qiao had begun to settle down. Zhou Tingsheng lightly kissed her eyes and forced a smile on his face: “What is there to cry about? I’m not interested in a underage kid.” He glanced at her and whispered in her ear: “I only like someone just like you.”
His alluring voice was hard for Ye Qiao to resist. Zhou Tingsheng continued whispering in her ear trying to defuse the tension.

As her tears dried, Ye Qiao could hear her own heart pumping. Many faces were flashing through her mind. The girl seemed familiar to her, but was too exhausted from using up most of her strength earlier to continue the thought. When she woke up again, it was like another world was waiting for her.

Something was floating outside the window.
Zhou Tingsheng held her in his arms and lightly said: “It’s snowing outside.”
The first snow of the year, finally fell before Chinese New Year.

Ye Qiao was still in a daze: “That night, the noise that I heard…...it wasn’t you?”
Zhou Tingsheng tried to recall the night and deciphered what she meant: “No, it wasn’t. Her life style isn’t that good and no matter how hard I try to discipline her, it’s been of little use. That day, I happened to be there to see it myself.”

No wonder Qianxi heard the sound of fighting next door that day. The wounds on his face that night were probably because of the fight. Ye Qiao remembered their encounter in the drug store. Suddenly, she realized how blinded she was by jealousy and broke out into a chuckle.

Zhou Tongsheng however was a bit frustrated seeing her mood change: “Don’t you want to know something else?” Though he wasn’t sure where to begin explaining the complicated connections they all shared.
Ye Qiao shook her head: “It’s enough for me. I don’t need to know more.”
“Now you’re so understanding?” Zhou Tingsheng kept teasing her and pretended to be bitter: “Earlier, I thought you’re going to torture me.”

Ye Qiao pinched him: “I didn’t even scratch you…...It was I who was in pain.”
She blushed after saying that, even her ears were slightly pink. Zhou Tingsheng put her hand over his heart and spoke exaggeratedly: “When my Qiaoqiao is in pain, I’m in pain as well.”
“How glib-tongued you are.”
……

It snowed all night. By the next morning, everything was covered in a layer of white frost.
In this pure white world, all jealousy and sins seemed easily forgivable.

Ye Qiao held a cup of hot coffee with both hands and stood in front of the window. Her nose was a little stuffy, the aftereffects of catching a cold last night. Zhou Tingsheng was rifling through drawers trying to find cold medicine for her, but couldn’t find any. Zhou Tingsheng was in good health and seldom got sick with a cold. He had more medicine for injuries and wounds than other basic medicines. He put a down jacket on Ye Qiao and took Desa with them to the drug store.

The drug store was within walking distance from his apartment.
Desa wore the little boots which Ye Qiao had bought for her, happily treading in the snow. Their breath quickly froze into a white mist.

After they picked up cold medicine, Zhou Tingsheng went to pay for it. Ye Qiao waited for him outside with Desa. She heard two office workers standing there gossiping about the entertainment circle.
-- --They say the password to Z producer’s iCloud account was leaked. A bunch of nudes were exposed. There’s a lot of actresses in the pictures.
-- --Wow, it’s just like when someone got his computer repaired and the stuff stored on it go exposed.
-- --Exactly. They said that new movie which they’re promoting lately, <Innocent City>? Quite a few actresses in that movie are in those pictures.
-- --Really? It can’t be Pei Xindan and Ye Qiao?
-- --Not those two. The person in the early photos isn’t that famous, Zhao something. But this morning, a big star gets exposed, Xu Yinshan. Can you believe it!
