The weather in early autumn still carried the heat of the summer. The handsome men and beautiful women that walked on the road were still dressed in cool clothes, allowing people to feast their eyes on them.
Xiwan wore a white chiffon dress with her long hair draped over her shoulders. She walked with Sun Huayu to meet her mentor, Chen Jiang. Along the way, many boys looked at her.
Sun Huayu was a shy person, and Xiwan had completely transformed from a chatterbox into a person who spoke very little after her life changed so quickly. As a result, the two girls did not talk very much as they walked.
Just like that, the two of them slowly walked. Their form turned into a meandering ink painting in the eyes of those around them.
When school had first started, Xiwan had been nervous. Fortunately, this body was not talkative. In addition, her acting skills were still very good, so she didn't arouse the suspicion of her classmates.
But even so, after spending time together, in the eyes of Sun Huayu, who was the most meticulous, there was still a hint of something.
"Xiwan, you've changed a lot since the chandelier fell on you."
Xiwan's heart skipped a beat. "Have I?"
Sun Huayu stopped. Xiwan, who was originally walking by her side, took one more step forward and then stopped. She turned her head towards the serious-looking Sun Huayu.
Sun Huayu looked at her good friend, who was one step ahead. Her long black hair was parted in the middle, framing her full face. Her face was white, her eyes were large, and her eyelashes were long and curly. Her nose was small and delicate, and her lips were cherry red. Her chiffon dress flowed softly in the breeze. She was like a fairy from the Nine Heavens, walking on clouds.
Xiwan had always been gorgeous; she was known for being the cold and aloof beauty of the broadcasting department. But when did her beauty become so dazzling that people couldn't take their eyes off her?
Sun Huayu always felt that the Xiwan in front of her was not Xiwan she had known before. Something was off, but she couldn't put her finger on what was wrong.
The atmosphere gradually became heavy.
Xiwan felt the cold wind stop blowing.
Her heart was in a mess.
How had she let the cat out of the bag? It was impossible. She was certain that she had gathered enough information from various places during this period of time. That, coupled with her understanding of her original body, meant her acting skills should not be discovered by others.
Sun Huayu, however, was certainly the most intelligent and meticulous person among them.
Sun Huayu looked at Xiwan for a long time before she could say anything.
"Did you get a whitening shot?"
"Eh?"
Xiwan laughed out loud. After all, she was not in her original body. She was not afraid of her natural beauty. After all, she had been a gorgeous beauty in the beginning.
"I just started using a foundation that matches my original skin color."
Some images flashed through Sun Huayu's mind. She nodded a few times. "No wonder."
"..."
"I remember that you used to wake up very early and go to bed very late, but it was really hard to notice if you didn't look carefully. I really thought that you'd received the whitening needle. However, I have to say that your skin is more stunning indeed." Sun Huayu nodded and continued, "Even if you did cover up your skin color before, you still looked very beautiful."
"Thank you."
The two of them walked slowly again.
"Don't mention it. Where are you thinking of working now? It's impossible for you to travel to so many different places all day and work part-time. The television station in this city is also..."
"The entertainment industry."
"Eh?" Sun Huayu was shocked. "Why do you want to go to that kind of place?" she asked in disbelief.
"Not good?"
"Of course not. That kind of place looks bright and beautiful, but who knows what's going on behind closed doors?" People who studied broadcasting had contempt for actors, although they tried to hide it... "Look at the diva with your name, Jiang Xiwan. If it wasn't for that scandal at the Golden Age Awards ceremony, who would have known such an actress, who looked like she had no dark secrets, was a loose woman in private! She was one of the most beautiful and talented actresses in the industry, but she was alone. Maybe that was why she had to depend on unspoken contracts with others in private to get to the top."
Xiwan felt a pang in her heart when she heard Sun Huayu, who didn't like to gossip, talk about her in a disdainful tone.
"But she died, after all. It's such a pity. Her movies and TV series are classics. Ah, isn't it just an indecent video? Why kill yourself?" Sun Huayu felt regretful for speaking of Jiang Xiwan so badly. "So, Xiwan, do you really want to go to that kind of place?"
"Yes."
It was a firm word.
How could she not go? There was the person she hated the most in the whole world, in that place. That woman, with her influence, was getting more and more comfortable.
How could she let that person live so well?
"Let's go to Professor Chen Jiang's office."
"Okay."
