"Yuanyuan, look at me, look." Chi Yu flashed a radiant smile at Gu Yuan. "It’s good that we’ve crossed this hurdle. Tired? If you’re tired, rest a bit. If you want to cry, I’m right here. Lie in my arms and cry, you can even throw a tantrum at me. I just want you to know, you have me, you’ll always have me. I will be with you, always, always, always."

The tears fell like broken strings of pearls, dropping in large droplets.

Gu Yuan’s emotions were thoroughly released.

The Suisui in her arms seemed to resonate with her mother’s sadness, quietly nestled in her mother’s embrace without moving, her small hand wrapped around her mother’s lower back, gently patting as if trying to comfort her mother’s sorrow.

After the rain, the sky cleared again.

The compressed atmosphere dispersed the fog, a white cloud drifted in the clear sky like a lone sail on a blue ocean.

When night fell, the moon was still the same moon. After several cycles of waxing and waning, those sad memories would gradually peel away until, when people recall them again after they have been forgotten, they will merely smile and say, "Wow, it’s been so many years."

...

...

This year, half has already gone by.

In the remaining half, Chi Yu achieved great success in his acting career.

At the end of the year, several web dramas he filmed were released in succession, one of which had astonishing online streaming results, and after the online broadcast ended, it was even aired on TV.

The web drama "My Strange Boyfriend" gathered millions of fans for Chi Yu.

Yi Shu created a new Weibo account for him, which was meticulously managed by Yi Shu; Chi Yu had never logged in, but the followers increased to four million. After the other two web dramas aired, Chi Yu’s Weibo followers skyrocketed to ten million.

In more than half a year’s time, he rapidly became a ten-million-V actor through three web dramas, the first person to do so.

Such rapid fame made many of his peers jealous. Business contracts that should have been signed mostly shifted towards Chi Yu due to his swift rise.

Some marketing accounts predicted: In the past two years of the film and television industry’s winter, there hasn’t been a breakout hit, but Chi Yu will definitely break this curse.

Because of this statement from the marketing accounts, many investors turned their attention to Chi Yu.

It’s not just his overly superior appearance; Chi Yu is also dedicated, easy-going, good-natured, and kind to others. He basically has no flaws, is self-disciplined, and doesn’t have troublesome scandals, so investors are very willing to back his projects.

But everyone is also well aware.

Investing heavily in Chi Yu carries a significant amount of risk.

After all, the entertainment industry’s fortunes are well-known: minor popularity relies on promotion, major popularity depends on destiny.

Investors are essentially betting everything, wanting to see if Chi Yu indeed has the makings of a major star. If he does, it will definitely be an against-the-odds comeback.

Fortunately, he didn’t disappoint everyone’s expectations.

Chi Yu performed remarkably. At the beginning of the year’s Drama Awards, he won the Most Popular TV Drama Actor Award with the drama that went viral online and was later broadcast on television.

Award ceremony.

Standing on stage holding the trophy, Chi Yu was humble and gentle. He was like a romantic doer, a gentle controller, a poetic workaholic, and a wise and experienced child at heart.

He appeared perfect without a single flaw.

Like an unattainable celestial being, leaving people to only look up in admiration.

When you get close to him, you realize he is so gentle that it makes you want to forgive all the unworthiness in the world.

Some netizens said: [It’s just an illusion! What you see is all he created for you to see.]

Others said: [It’s just a persona. Once that filter breaks, you’ll see he’s just so-so.]

Yet others said: [The real him is just like that. He doesn’t have the god-like appearance they hype up, nothing without the filter!]

There were many good comments online.

Naturally, there were also many negative ones.

They’re all balanced.

After all, Chi Yu is still a newcomer in the industry, and the reason for attracting negative comments is his high starting point at debut, causing many netizens to dismiss his skyrocketing fame.

Chi Yu recently began logging into his own Weibo account.

The first time he logged in, the Weibo page lagged so much he almost cursed, thinking several times it was a problem with his phone or network. Once the lag passed, he realized it was due to the overwhelming number of messages and maintained frequent logins to get used to it.

After seeing the negative comments, his response was to personally use his main account to like them. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎
