Superstar's Development Diary-Chapter 901 - 903: Never Lost Touch

There are few celebrity couples like He Jinxia; most celebrities pair up hoping for a win-win situation and boosting their fame.

When they date and get married, they might not have the foresight to think of these things, but after marriage, considering their careers, they’ll definitely contemplate if they can cooperate for mutual benefit.

But He Jinxia is different; she never thought about making Sheng Yan cooperate, even if cooperation might lead to a win-win situation. She cares more about Sheng Yan’s reputation.

She wishes for him to have a perfect ending to his career in Huaxia, and hopes he remains free of any stigma... Such a personality indeed makes promotion somewhat restrained.

Sheng Yan’s eyes flicker slightly, he lowers his head a bit, a warm, gentle light flashes through his dark eyes, "She is indeed great; she tends to care about how the outside world views her, otherwise, I could have gone public with her long ago.

Ever since we got together, she shifted that concern to me. When we were dating, she was very cautious, although I always assured her it was okay, even wanting the media to leak it sooner, but knowing her sadness held me back."

Listening to Sheng Yan’s calm words filled with tenderness and admiration, Yu Yanyu’s mouth twitches, pleading, "Can’t you spare me the heartbreak?"

How tough is it for a single dog like him to survive till now?

Yu Yanyu forcefully shifts the topic, "So, what are you going to do now?"

Sheng Yan’s gentle demeanor fades, and he coldly says, "I don’t know."

The next moment, he looks up and stares at Yanyu silently.

Yu Yanyu feels goosebumps under Sheng Yan’s gaze, "Well, well, although people often call me a friend to women, I actually don’t have much experience chatting with them. They all treat me like a cute little brother. If you want me to persuade your wife, it might not be very effective; your wife is very determined. How about I find someone else for you—"

"She saw your message on Weibo." Sheng Yan calmly interrupts.

The implication is — she saw the fan comments under your Weibo, that’s why she’s so hesitant, so you need to take responsibility.

Yu Yanyu raises a bitter smile, feeling aggrieved! He’s truly innocent!

It’s not just viewing his Weibo that leads to this, but whenever He Jinxia sees other people’s Weibo or a fan comment saying they don’t want Sheng Yan to break his image, she’ll start overthinking, regardless of who posted it.

And he just happened to be chosen, posting an inappropriate Weibo at the wrong time, which was seen by Sister Jinxia at the most unsuitable moment.

Even then, it wouldn’t matter much; he just happened to go join in the fun, chatting with them at the wrong time, everything that was unsuitable just came together perfectly:

He got caught by Sheng Yan; now he must resolve the trouble he stirred up.

Yu Yanyu tries to struggle a bit more, but under Sheng Yan’s gloomy gaze, he finally doesn’t have the courage and compromises, "Okay, I’ll try, but don’t get your hopes too high."

Yu Yanyu follows Sheng Yan downstairs, clutching an apple in his hand. The apple he previously peeled for Sheng Yan has already been eaten, and he’s holding the second peeled apple.

While nibbling on the apple, Yanyu feels forlorn, thinking a god peeled apple is truly something mere mortals like him cannot handle.

Once eaten, repercussions must come.

Dongting Lake Garden is within the third ring, usually not permitted fireworks, but during the New Year, some might defy the regulations.

As Yu Yanyu and the others were entering, they heard the loud, rapid popping sounds from outside the window.

Curious, Yu Yanyu runs over to look, discovering someone outside setting off firecrackers, the smoke swirling and blurring the scenery of that area.

He Jinxia looks at him curiously, "You’re here! Where’s Sheng Yan?"

She turns to see Sheng Yan silently standing behind her, smiling and reaching out her hand.

Sheng Yan wraps his arm around her, pulling her into his embrace, gently stroking her hair, accompanying her to watch outside, and softly asks, "Do you like firecrackers?"

He Jinxia’s eyes appear a bit dazed, as if through the transparent glass window, she traveled to a distant past.

"The day I most anticipated in childhood was probably this day; we only had this day to rest. Although we couldn’t go out and play, we could kick the shuttlecock in the yard, listening to the loud explosions outside, the white smoke mixed with the smell of sulfur drifting in; some mischievous kids would climb the trees to see the outside scenery."

He Jinxia gestures with her hands, "I was very short at the time, clumsy too, so I couldn’t climb the trees, only raising my head eagerly to ask the kids up in the trees what they could see."

She laughs softly, "But those kids were so engrossed in the outside view, none of them paid me any attention."

Sheng Yan pauses his movements and gently strokes her face, softly saying, "Do you want to climb a tree?"

He Jinxia pauses, "Climb a tree? I’m too big now, don’t know how to climb trees anymore."

Sheng Yan speaks to himself, "There’s a pomegranate tree at my old home; it’s not tall, and I’d often climb it when I was younger, disappearing from sight."

Yu Yanyu opens his mouth, wanting to say something, but He Jinxia cuts him off first, "Sure, I’d love to see that pomegranate tree at your house!"

Sheng Yan whispers something in her ear, no one knows what he said, but it makes Jinxia laugh.

The previous sorrow vanishes completely.

Right then, Mrs. He and Aunt Rui come out from the kitchen, bringing a whole table full of dishes; the first day of the New Year must be lively!

Mrs. He doesn’t recognize Yu Yanyu but knows he’s quite familiar with Jinxia and asks, "Your friend is here! This young man is so handsome, does he have a girlfriend?"

The smile on Yu Yanyu’s face freezes slightly, what did he do wrong that every elder he meets during the New Year asks him if he has a girlfriend!

He’s still a baby! 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

Aunt Rui laughs, "Oh him, he’s quite the elf; he’s had girlfriends nonstop from childhood to adulthood, popular wherever he goes!"

Yu Yanyu: ... I’m not, I don’t, you’re wrong!

Mrs. He is curious, "That impressive? Well, he’s indeed really handsome."

Sheng Yan glances at Yu Yanyu, as Jinxia nudges him and asks curiously, "Is what Mother said true?"

Just as Sheng Yan is about to respond, Yu Yanyu cuts in, "I’m the person involved, ask me, why don’t you? It’s false; everything’s false. I just have good chemistry with the opposite gender; they all call me a friend to women, it doesn’t mean I’m a ladies man!"

Sheng Yan’s answer follows closely, "Half true, half false, Yanyu indeed had many girls chasing him since childhood, but never seen him with anyone. Later, I moved away, and we haven’t stayed in touch much."

Yu Yanyu responds, "We still stay in touch by phone; I’ve kept in contact with you all along."
