"Huh?"
"What made you join this industry?"
His face suddenly changed, and his expression cooled somewhat. "Do you think I'm here because I like acting?"
"…What do you mean?"
"I joined this industry a few years earlier than you did, so I've seen enough of the people in here. Sometimes, I really feel tired, but even if I feel tired, I still have to play by the rules of the game here."
Pausing, he turned his head to look at her. "Do you know how much I envy you?"
She was puzzled at his sudden question.
"You asked me what made me join this industry, right? I didn't join it willingly; instead, I was made to become part of it."
"Made to?"
"Eh! I was sold by my father to work here!" He looked downcast as he spoke.
Yun Shishi was dumbfounded. "Sold?!"
She looked at him with astonishment and thought that he was joking at first. What kind of father would sell his son to work in this industry?
