Song Leilei didn't expect a response from her sister who had been missing for two years. After sending the message, she put her phone aside, pulled at her eyelids, and stuck a few eyelashes on.

But the phone vibrated.

She heard the sound but didn't pick it up to look; it must have been the vibration caused by a pop-up of junk news.

Song Leilei has no work scheduled for today, but she's going out on a date.

She changed her clothes, put on her makeup, and finally touched up her lipstick in front of the mirror.

She smiled sweetly at herself in the mirror, "I wonder if Brother Xinyuan will like my outfit. Hmm... whatever, in his eyes, I should be fine no matter what."

Song Leilei and Xia Xinyuan were together, but they rarely saw each other, only once or twice every six months.

The two didn't talk much when they were together, and their relationship progressed very slowly.

Song Leilei arrived at the restaurant Xia Xinyuan had booked, put on sunglasses, and only then dared to go inside.

In the past two years, she has become somewhat famous. Although the drama that launched her career will not be broadcast for another two days, she has accumulated a lot of popularity through variety shows and is known online as a "soft and sweet cute girl".

Her name is always mentioned in posts featuring sweet and cute young actresses.

The table was reserved in a private room, and the waiter led her inside.

Xia Xinyuan was wearing a black shirt and white trousers, and his foundation was still on. He had just come from an awards ceremony and was now out for a meal, so he invited Song Leilei, who lived nearby, to join him.

He scrutinized Song Leilei's attire today, a mature-style halter-neck black dress.

Song Leilei flashed a sweet smile, but Xia Xinyuan was already getting a little tired of her.

“When I said your style was monotonous last time, I didn’t mean your clothing style was monotonous,” Xia Xinyuan picked up his wine glass, took a sip, put it down, tilted his head, and looked at her: “So, dressed like this, you obviously didn’t understand what I meant.”

Song Leilei felt a little wronged and lowered her head timidly, "Then tell me, how am I supposed to understand if you don't tell me?"

Xia Xinyuan curled his lip slightly, "Let's break up."

Song Leilei: "......"

"If you don't like it, I can change my clothes."

"Is it a problem with changing clothes?" Xia Xinyuan gestured with his hands. "Your style is limited to sweetness, like ice cream in summer. It's very sweet to eat once in a while, but if you eat it every day, not only will your mouth feel greasy, but you'll also easily get diarrhea."

These are all excuses.

The important thing is that every time Song Leilei makes an appointment, her childhood friend Xu Jingzhi will suddenly appear.

Xia Xinyuan is the man many women dream of, but so far in their relationship, he has only managed to hold Song Leilei's hand, and hasn't even had a chance to kiss his girlfriend alone.

When he agreed to date Song Leilei, it wasn't because he wanted to have a spiritual connection with her; without some physical contact, he couldn't continue.

Song Leilei bit her lower lip slightly, looking at the man in front of her who was perfect from every angle. It was hard to imagine that such words would come out of his mouth.

Xin Yuan is not the type to be fickle, and the number of times they've met privately can be counted on one hand.

Song Leilei's intuition told her that Xinyuan must have something he couldn't say. She pinched her fingers and asked, "Is the company forcing you? I can keep it private, and I can understand the special nature of our work."

Xia Xinyuan reached out and took Song Leilei's hand. "No one forced me. This is a decision I made after careful consideration, for the good of both of us. You spend too much energy on me when you're with me. You have a much wider world to explore. Besides, I'm very busy with work and can't always take care of you. I feel very guilty about that."

As he spoke, he noticed the change in Song Leilei's expression, indicating that she believed him.

Xia Xinyuan felt smug: He could easily deal with a little girl like Song Leilei with just a few words.

Song Leilei hadn't expected Xin Yuan to be under so much pressure. She looked at Xia Xin Yuan with genuine sincerity, "Don't worry about me so much. As long as we're together, that's enough."

Xia Xinyuan looked helpless. “You’ve only been in the industry for two years. You’ll face many temptations in the future. I’m worried that one day you’ll fall for a male actor who is better than me.”

The naive Song Leilei had no idea that this was a ploy by the other party, and was still immersed in the fantasy that her boyfriend loved her so much and was so afraid of losing her.

Half an hour later, Song Leilei was finally persuaded and unable to refute it. With a broken heart, she walked out of the restaurant.

Unfortunately, the weather turned against her. Just as she reached the entrance of a small supermarket, large raindrops pelted her nose.

She opened her mouth and frowned, trying to cry, but couldn't.

After trying two or three times, she gave up.

That's strange.

It's really strange.

Everyone says that you should be sad and upset for a few days after a breakup, but she only felt a slight heart attack and couldn't muster any sadness at all.

Song Leilei took shelter under the eaves of the supermarket, looked at the sudden downpour, and sighed, "Fine, let the rain cry for me."

At this moment, she remembered that she still had her phone with her. She took it out and posted a breakup message on her WeChat Moments. Then she checked her contact list and found many unread messages.

Her hand suddenly trembled, probably because she was seeing things. She shook her head, closed her eyes for a while, and then looked at the red dot on her phone again.

"She replied to my message." Song Leilei was so surprised that her phone fell to the ground, but she quickly caught it with her other hand and managed to keep it.

The minor unpleasantness of the recent breakup seemed to have vanished into thin air.

......

Soon the day arrived for the broadcast of "Floating World, Gentle Breeze and Dreams," and Su Ling's Weibo account became active again, reposting the official Weibo post of the TV series.

On the first day of its release, the show gained an overnight surge in fans who shipped the male and female leads due to its compelling storyline and excellent acting.

Because it's a fantasy drama set in the Republican era with a strong female lead, the female lead is more popular than the male lead.

Su Jin invited Song Leilei to her home, and the two watched the six episodes that had been broadcast together. Then they went live together to interact with netizens.

The phone was placed on a stand, facing the upper bodies of the two women.

Su Jin and Song Leilei each held a mobile phone, reading the comments posted by others.

With so many comments, Su Jin could only choose a few to reply to.

What do you do when there are no dramas airing?

Su Jin touched her lips, pondered for a moment, and finally looked at the phone camera. "This is my first drama. Before it aired, I lived on a small island for a long time. If you've ever lived there, you'll love that kind of free and easy life, and feel like you're having a conversation with yourself."

She nudged Song Leilei lightly with her shoulder. "And what about you? What have you been doing?"

Song Leilei covered her mouth and lowered her head to chuckle. After laughing, she looked at the camera and said, "I watch all kinds of food videos, then go to check out the restaurants and see if they are really that delicious."

After saying that, the two of them burst into laughter, creating a great atmosphere in the live stream.
