Perhaps the gaze Yun Hua directed at Shen Shiying was too focused or sharp, but Shen Shiying felt weird upon being stared at.
"W-why… are you looking at me like that?" asked Shen Shiying.
Yun Hua hurriedly recovered her senses and said sheepishly, "I think you're pretty good looking."
Shen Shiying's face instantly turned red.
Her face was the cute type—round and chubby; her skin was white and soft, and many people said that she was good looking.
"I'm Shen Shiying," said Shen Shiying, "I'm 16."
Yun Hua smiled. "I'm Yun Hua; I'm 13. Also, you don't really look like you're 16."
Shen Shiying smiled helplessly. "My face looks more childish."
"Who said so? You're very cute and sweet." Yun Hua laughed. "Oh, right. What did you say you were looking for? A relic that your father left behind?"
"Mm." Shen Shiying's emotions immediately drooped. "I was feeling quite upset, so I came out to take a walk. However, I accidentally dropped a necklace my dad left for me in the lake…"
"So you didn't fall into the water by mistake? You jumped down yourself?" Yun Hua frowned.
Shen Shiying bit her lips and nodded lightly.
However, Yun Hua suddenly knitted her brows. "No. W-were… you trying to commit suicide?"
A tinge of anxiety flashed across Shen Shiying's eyes, but she quickly shook her head. "No, I was just…"
"It's good that you weren't." Yun Hua heaved a sigh of relief. "However, I think you might not be able to find the necklace. Although the lake water looks very clear, it's actually quite deep. There's mud and water plants at the bottom of the lake. It would be disastrous if your feet got tangled with the plants. Although it's a pity you lost your father's necklace, I believe your father wouldn't want to see you jumping into the lake just to find his belongings. Besides, you still need to take care of your mother. If something happens to you, what will your mother do?"
Shen Shiying nodded lightly and did not make a sound.
Yun Hua wanted to continue, but she suddenly knit her brows again.
Something was not right. Before Shen Shiying was famous in Yun Hua's previous life, her family background was clearly exposed to the public. Her key characteristics were: being born in a village, diligent, hardworking, honest, and kind.
What made people even more satisfied was that she had a heroic father.
Yes, Shen Shiying had a heroic father.
After Yun Hua broke her leg in her previous life, she had always been depressed and did not chase superstars. However, Shen Shiying was really popular. Every time she opened a webpage, she would see push notifications related to Shen Shiying everywhere.
Thus Yun Hua knew that Shen Shiying had a heroic father who had been a police officer. On Shen Shiying's 25th birthday, her father had sacrificed his life in the line of duty. At that time, Shen Shiying was attending a movie premiere. When she heard the news, she immediately fainted. For the next half-year, she did not even do any work.
Yun Hua only knew this much. However, this had already made the problem known.
Shen Shiying's father had sacrificed his life in the line of duty when she was 25, not now.
Then… was this Shen Shiying not the future best actress, Shen Shiying?
Impossible!
Shen Shiying's chubby, baby-like face was unique in the entertainment circle. Her face was very adorable, vastly different from the trending influencers' awl faces. The only differences in Shen Shiying when she was 16, 20, and 25 were clothes, makeup, and the vibe that she gave off. However, her face remained the same. She had a round face; many directors had once said that she could not become the main female character because of it.
However, why did Shen Shiying's father pass away so early in this life?
Yun Hua could not help but ask, "May I know how your father… passed away? Did he sacrifice his life in the line of duty?"
Shen Shiying's face instantly turned white.
She pressed her lips tightly together and did not utter a word.
"Sorry, my condolences. However, your father is a hero. Although he sacrificed himself, everyone will remember his heroic act…"
"He's not a hero! He's a criminal, a criminal that committed heinous crimes!" Shen Shiying suddenly had an outburst and screamed. She then turned around and ran away.
Yun Hua was left in a daze…
