Chapter 33. Decision
"Mother, I am home."
Ren said as he entered his house and his mother voice greeted him back.
"Ren, you are back. Was your work exhausting? You are not working yourself too hard, right."
Ren smiled when he heard her mother's words. He didn't knew why but his mother had gotten more worried about him these days.
"I am okay. It was just a interview. I am taking it slowly until I get used to my schedule."
"It's good then but don't put too much pressure on yourself. I had heard rumours that many celebrities got stress disorders because of their work."
"I am really fine, mother. I am doing great these days."
"It's good. Here, eat some apples, your aunt had specially sent it for you."
His mother said as she passed him some apples. Ren sat down on the table and started eating the apples. He was hungry, anyways.
As he was eating the apples, his father came from the living room.
His father expression changed for a second when he saw Ren but it soon went back to his usual strict one.
He sat down in front of Ren and he greeted him.
"Hello, father. Have your work finished early today?"
"Don't talk to me like that. Doing one movie doesn't mean that you are successful. Talk to me when you have enough money to purchase a house."
Ren smiled helplessly when he heard his father's response. His father words had not changed much but his attitude towards him had changed tremendously.
He can even see him smiling at him sometimes, his attitude had become more soft towards Ren and he was happy because of it.
"Old man, don't talk to our son like that."
His mother came from the kitchen when she heard his father's words.
"It's my business how I talk with him."
His mother sighed when she heard that. Instead of talking to his father, she said towards Ren.
"Don't worry about him, he acts rudely but he was bragging about you in front of his friends earlier."
"Whattt!!"
His mother acted like she didn't heard his father's shout as she continued her words.
"He even purchased several tickets of your movie just to gift them to his friends and relatives."
Her words didn't end there and as she continued to talk, his father's expression continued to be unsightly. He even slightly lowered his head out of embarrassment.
"That old man, he was even buying the posters of your movie and yesterday, he was just browsing through his phone, reading articles about you. He was even cursing when he read a mean comment."
"You dumb woman, I, I...."
He didn't knew if it was because of embarrassment or not but his father left the room with a red face.
"That old man, when can he talk to you normally."
Seeing him leave the room, his mother sighed and said.
"Don't worry, mother. I bet he will talk to me normally after sometime."
"It's good if that happens. He pretended to be angry with you for a long time and now, he had trouble talking to you like before."
His mother muttered that as she returned to the kitchen.
Ren also didn't stay there for long and entered his room. His relationship with his father was way better now.
He can just slowly wait for it to become like before.
After entering his room, Ren fell into a thought. He was thinking about it for a long time.
It was the matter about Xiao Rin.
Ren wanted to help her but he was slightly afraid of the consequences that would happen if he did that.
He was somewhat afraid of changing the future. Although, he knew that he was already changing the future but he had only changed his future till now.
Helping Xiao Rin can possibly change her future. The future where she is a famous star.
If Ren interfered too much, it can surely happen.
He has continued to change the future till now but he had never think about it carefully.
If he continued to change the future, then what will be the consequences of it.
He is not just changing his future, the future of the people around him is also changing.
The role which he had been rejected from was now his, the movie which was barely able to breakeven was now super hit.
Chu Min who will only become a mainstream actor many years later was now already one. Just like this, he had changed the future of many people around him.
White bear, Li Xinru, Director Zhu, his parents and many more.
From the way he is going, he will surely change their future more. He can't help it, he was already in this path, he can't look back now.
He can only go forward.
Although he's been changing the future of himself and the people around him, Xiao Rin isn't one of them.
If he didn't interfered with her, Ren was sure that she will become a big actress like his previous life.
Maybe, they would meet several years later and even do a movie together but that was all. It would be a bright future for her.
But if Ren decided to interfere with it, then the future will be uncertain.
Ren was sure that she will be able to become an actress with her talent but he didn't knew how far she will be able to rise.
Maybe, she will just become a second rate actress or she can even become a world wide actress.
It was uncertain. No one knew what the result will be. So, was Ren willing to take the risk?
It was a question Ren was slowly pondering over.
At one side, he was thinking of leaving things as they are and at another, he wanted to help her.
As he was thinking about that, he suddenly remembered her bright smile when he had praised her yesterday.
'I had never seen her smile like that before.'
In his previous life, he had never seen her smile like that. She was mostly cold and her smiles were usually just fake.
Ren can tell as he was an actor himself.
The Xiao Rin he had seen yesterday and the Xiao Rin from the future were different.
He didn't knew what had happened to her but she had changed tremendously in the future.
Her current self was more bright and cute.
'If I didn't do anything, she will surely lose her bright smile.'
He didn't knew what had happened with her before her debut but it surely affected her.
And it looks like the thing had already started to affect her.
'Will she lose her bright smile?'
When that thought appeared in his mind, he was sure of one thing.
He had to help her somehow?
He was sure of it. He was not doing it with any alternative thought, it was just because he would regret it if he didn't do anything and there were many regrets in his life.
He didn't wanted another one.
The future was uncertain but Ren decided not to worry about it and focus on the present more.
