Chapter 222: Chu Yi’s Past Song Ci slept soundly that night. The next morning, everything was as per usual. She ate, did her makeup, and exercised while reading the script.

Yang Haoran was still in disbelief at the sight. He could only sigh in his heart.

Fu Wenze had yet to arrive. Chu Yi was already present though. He handed over some steamed buns to Song Ci.

“You said this hotel’s steamed buns are not good, right? I picked this up from a different restaurant. It’s mushroom and chicken. Have a taste.”

Song Ci looked at the transparent plastic bag in Chu Yi’s hand. The steamed buns did seem really appetizing! She smiled and said, “Thank you.”

“Hurry up and eat while it’s hot. If you can’t finish, share them with your manager and assistant.”

“Okay.”

Song Ci bit one of the steamed buns. It was delicious!

“I’m leaving now. Don’t forget to exercise after you’ve finished eating. However, don’t overdo it and gain excessive muscles. It doesn’t suit your image.”

Chu Yi smiled brightly and was about to leave.

Song Ci was puzzled.

“You came all this way just to give me some steamed buns?”

Chu Yi said somewhat jokingly, “I just wanted to check if you’ve been slacking off.”

Upon hearing those words, Song Ci’s smile slowly disappeared. She put down the steamed buns and said seriously, “I want to ask you a question.”

Chu Yi asked curiously, “What is it?”

Song Ci did not beat around the bus and asked directly, “Why did you decide to train me?”

Chu Yi was stunned. His acting skills were good, but Song Ci caught him off guard.

After a long silence, Chu Yi smiled.

“What do you think?”

“Did you do it on purpose? Is it because of Fu Wenze?”

Song Ci could clearly hear Chu Yi sigh. It was as if he felt helpless and relieved at the same time.

“You saw through me.”

Chu Yi’s smile was a little bitter. He had been waiting for this moment.

Song Ci brought Chu Yi to her recreational vehicle. She wanted to hear his explanation and they could not discuss this matter in public.

Chu Yi could only silently follow Song Ci. After composing himself, he managed to tell his story from the start.

“I entered this industry because of my girlfriend. She likes acting and I just followed her. After a while, I grew fond of acting as well. I worked as an extra with her for more than a year. Things changed after I worked with Fu Wenze. My girlfriend had a sweet and gentle appearance. She was Fu Wenze’s type, so he chose her…”

Song Ci listened quietly as she realized something.

Chu Yi smiled bitterly.

“You should be able to guess what happened after that… We broke up.”

It had been a few years and Chu Yi’s heart was hardened.

At first, Chu Yi thought he let his girlfriend down. Hence, he did not pester her after the breakup.

Chu Yi’s girlfriend did not have much screen time. That changed after she was acquainted with Fu Wenze.

Chu Yi was naive. He assumed that her acting skills had conquered the director.

‘Good. It seems that Lady Luck has finally smiled upon her. Our breakup might be a blessing in disguise.’

Chu Yi even left the production team so things would not be difficult for his girlfriend. He only wished her well.

As Chu Yi spent more time as an extra, he began to learn the dark side of the entertainment industry and regretted their breakup.

‘Why didn’t I ask more questions? I should have persuaded her! She’s still young. She had a chance! It was unnecessary for her to…’

Once it happened, there was no turning back.
