Chapter 145 Heartfelt Intentions [VIP]
Chapter Summary: A confession, yet not a complete confession.
Mu Zhi followed He Zhiyue to the telescope.
It was the first time she had ever looked at the stars with a telescope.
What we saw as the "Muzhi" star was just a small, somewhat bright sphere.
Its shape is somewhat heart-shaped, though it's not as clear as in photographs of the planet.
He Zhiyue explained, "Most asteroids don't emit their own light; they only reflect sunlight. Because they are so far away, it's difficult to see the details of an asteroid..."
"You can look at the moon."
He came up behind Mu Zhi, extended his right hand to help adjust the telescope to look at the moon, and put his left hand behind his back.
Although he stood very close to Mu Zhi, he did not take the opportunity to pin her against the wall or pull her into his arms like in the movies, nor did he take the opportunity to have any physical contact with Mu Zhi. He always maintained a proper distance.
Mu Zhi always felt quite relaxed in her private interactions with He Zhiyue, and didn't need to be on guard against this man all the time.
"Did you see that?"
Yes, we saw it. Because the moon is so close, we can clearly see the craters on its surface through a telescope. It's quite amazing.
"Thank you for reading."
Having never experienced stargazing with a telescope before, this was a novel and exciting experience for Mu Zhi, but aside from things related to her performance, she wasn't particularly curious about anything else.
Mu Zhi turned around and looked at He Zhiyue, who had taken a few steps back and was standing a meter away from her.
The "gift from the stars" she received from He Zhiyue was an asteroid whose name, once assigned, could never be changed.
It is a gift that cannot be returned.
Mu Zhi understood the emotions behind this gift...
But at this stage, for her, it means she has just come to realize that she can't go back to her original world.
I'm still sorting myself out, trying to separate my past life from this one, and then I'll try to integrate into this world.
Continue filming her movies.
I haven't thought about dating.
Therefore, she was unable to reciprocate He Zhiyue's feelings.
Thank you for the gift, but I...
He Zhiyue guessed what Mu Zhi was going to say and interrupted, "Teacher Mu, do you know why I gave you this star?"
Mu Zhi shook her head.
"Because this is the star I discovered, and it is my favorite among millions of stars."
He named his favorite star after Mu Zhi to express his love for her.
This passionate confession stirred a ripple in Mu Zhi's heart.
But she just listened in silence.
I guess He Zhiyue will do what those people did next, expressing how much he likes her, hoping to be with her, and throwing out a string of sweet promises.
Then, He Zhiyue said, "I know very well that these two years are the peak of your career development, and you have no time to think about matters of the heart."
Now is not the time to confess your feelings.
"Because so many people like Teacher Mu, I'm worried. So I want Teacher Mu to know my feelings for you. Until one day you change your mind and have feelings for someone else."
"Teacher Mu, please put me first in your list."
Upon hearing this, Mu Zhi looked at He Zhiyue in surprise.
He confessed his feelings but didn't fully confess, leaving room for their relationship to develop further.
He did not ask her to reciprocate his feelings, nor did he rashly pursue her.
Tonight's confession only requires a reserved seat.
Mu Zhi was somewhat slow to realize that He Zhiyue understood her quite well; his actions always prioritized her feelings, and he always knew when to advance and retreat appropriately.
Tonight's actions have made their relationship seem both the same as before and different from before.
Actually, upon careful recollection, Mu Zhi had already sensed that He Zhiyue seemed to have some unusual feelings for her on that night of vigil in Tibet.
But he is particularly good at hiding and guarding his feelings.
In a subtle and gradual way, he slowly grew closer to Mu Zhi through repeated private interactions, while always maintaining a distance.
Most importantly, the boss image that He Zhiyue presented to Mu Zhi was that of a wise, capable, trustworthy, and ambitious person who always kept his personal and professional life separate.
So at this moment, Mu Zhi knew He Zhiyue's feelings for her.
Surprisingly, unlike the previous confessions, it didn't provoke her dislike, nor did it cause her to distance herself from He Zhiyue.
In her mind, she was not worried at all that He Zhiyue would act on emotion and affect her career.
Did she realize that she seemed to trust He Zhiyue a little?
Just then, He Zhiyue explained the second layer of meaning behind giving her the star.
"Teacher Mu, I know that your goal is not just to win the 'Best Actress' award. Lanxing Media will accompany you to achieve it one by one."
I, Director Ji, your friends, your team members, and all your fans—we're all here for you.
He Zhiyue looked up at the bright stars hanging in the night sky and said firmly, "Teacher Mu, you will definitely become the brightest star."
Mu Zhi couldn't help but look up at the night sky.
Yes, no matter which world you're in.
Acting has always been something she likes and loves.
It was a little after 5 a.m.
As dawn broke, the area within sight began to brighten.
Mu Zhi looked around at the campsite, which looked completely different from the darkness of night. She found that they were less than 5 meters away from the edge of the cliff. The cliff edge connected with the sea of clouds, and looking down, only the tips of some green trees could be vaguely seen.
"Teacher Mu, the sun is out."
He Zhiyue held two cups of brewed coffee and handed one to Mu Zhi.
They stood together, watching the sun slowly rise from the clouds.
In an instant, dazzling golden light pierced through layers of clouds, and the warm sun shone down on them, dispelling the chill on the mountaintop.
I simply drank a cup of coffee and ate a piece of bread.
Mu Zhi was about to start tidying up the things on the table when He Zhiyue stopped her, saying it wasn't necessary.
"After we leave, someone will come up and clean up right away."
"Let's go down the mountain."
Mu Zhi nodded, carrying two blankets in her arms, and walked towards the car with He Zhiyue.
After getting in the car, it's a two-and-a-half-hour drive back.
During this camping trip in the mountains, Mu Zhi actually slept for less than 3 hours in total, while He Zhiyue probably only slept for about two hours while driving.
After starting the car, He Zhiyue told Mu Zhi to sleep in the car for a while and wake her up when they returned to Donghua Mansion.
Mu Zhi and her team booked an afternoon flight back to Hengcheng.
It was already 9 o'clock when I got home.
She may not have time to catch up on sleep; there may be some tricky things waiting for her to deal with.
Mu Zhi listened to He Zhiyue, adjusted her chair, covered herself with a blanket, closed her eyes, and rested...
At 9 a.m. sharp, the car returned to the underground parking garage of Donghua Mansion.
Although it's rare to encounter other residents in the underground parking garage at this time, the privacy of this community is quite good.
To avoid causing unnecessary trouble for Mu Zhi, He Zhiyue decided not to go together and let Mu Zhi go up first, while she would go up later.
As Mu Zhi unbuckled her seatbelt, she was about to push open the car door and get out.
"Teacher Mu, I know you are about to face a storm. No matter what happens, we are behind you, and everything will pass."
The falling out with the original owner's parents will soon escalate into an online feud.
Mu Zhi felt no sadness about this; she had no feelings for the original owner's family.
She nodded, placing her hand on the car door.
She turned back to He Zhiyue and said, "Thank you for taking me to see the stars, and thank you for the gift."
She felt much better.
I got out of the car and walked straight towards the elevator.
After Mu Zhi's figure disappeared at the elevator entrance, He Zhiyue started the car again and decided to go to the company.
I'm worried about Mu Zhi.
Back home, Mu Zhi charged her phone.
After taking a shower and washing up, she sat on the sofa with her phone and began replying to her WeChat friends' well wishes.
After replying to the message, I immediately opened Weibo.
I saw that my own hashtag, #Value of Muzhi Gemstone Necklace#, was still trending on the hot search list.
After browsing through the content, it seems that the hashtag #MuzhiSkyHeart# trended on Weibo last night, and the first round of discussion among netizens focused on the color and carat weight of the sapphire in the necklace, marveling at its beauty.
Then someone came forward to reveal that the necklace was not sponsored by the H.forever brand, questioning whether the one Mu Zhi was wearing was a fake.
Later, the official Weibo account of H.forever brand came out to confirm that Mu Zhi was indeed wearing [Heart of the Sky].
This refutes the rumors that the product is counterfeit.
This morning, a similar topic, #ValueOfTheMuzhiGemstoneNecklace#, trended on Weibo, with netizens hotly debating the value of the [Heart of the Sky] necklace, and some voices of doubt also emerged:
It's outrageous that Mu Zhi wore a necklace worth over 30 million yuan on the red carpet.
They turned the awards ceremony's red carpet into a fashion show...
Mu Zhi's fans explained below that this was sponsored by the brand, and the spokesperson had to cooperate with the brand in promotion. She changed into a dress and took off her jewelry at the awards ceremony, showing that the artist pays great attention to the occasion.
The accompanying emoji features Mu Zhi holding a trophy, captioned: "Why not focus more on the trophy in your hand?"
Stop arguing endlessly about a necklace.
When Mu Zhi saw in the work group chat, her agent suspected that there was something fishy about the trending topic.
She also had a bad feeling, like they were going to first release a trending topic to test their team's reaction before unleashing their ultimate move.
Sure enough, the "big move" came right away.
The hashtag #Muzhi's parents accuse him of refusing to pay alimony# immediately appeared on the trending search list and topped the list in less than 2 minutes.
Mu Zhi glanced at the time; it was 10 a.m.
It came even faster than she expected. It seems that her parents hadn't slept all night? Or perhaps they had already prepared all of this before even meeting her?
I clicked into this topic.
The original owner's parents gave a written interview to a well-known media outlet.
This interview, presented in a question-and-answer format, tells the story from the perspective of Mu Zhi's parents, from her participation in the "Chasing the Light" competition to her starring role in director Wan Zhou's film "Countdown," which achieved box office success and gained her wider recognition and fame.
The article "revealed" the unknown side of Mu Zhi in their eyes during this process, and the eye-catching headline: Why did they stand up and criticize Mu Zhi for refusing to pay alimony?
Mu Zhi quickly read through the text interview.
A mocking smile curled at the corner of her lips. The original owner's parents were full of lies for money, calling black white and maliciously fabricating facts to slander their daughter, turning her into a tool for others to deal with her. They were shameless and stupid.
