8The movie was officially completed a week later.After shooting the last scene, the director shouted "Cut!" Then all the staff howled cheerfully.Chuck hurriedly ran backstage to change into casual clothes. After saying goodbye to everyone on the set, he got into the minivan parked outside."We won't be attending the celebration party. The Superstar Show will start at eight o'clock. We have to get to the scene before six o'clock to get styled and change clothes."As she spoke, Lisa stepped on the gas.I helped Chuck remove his makeup in the car and ran through the brochure from the organizer to check out the process of the show.As a science student, I was unfamiliar with these things.However, after working as Chuck's assistant for more than two months, I gradually kept up with the pace.When we arrived backstage, the makeup artist and stylist rushed over. After helping Chuck with his makeup, they went to the next dressing room in haste.Lisa went to the organizer to go th
I had a sports student boyfriend who had six-pack abs and was a member of the school swimming team.But last night, he suddenly said he wanted to break up with me.He claimed that it was because I only loved him for his good-looking face, not his soul.I was lying lazily in his arms when he said the amusing reason, which prompted and pushed me to quibble... I meant, to defend myself."Babe, babe, it's not like that..." I tried my very best to change his mind yet failed. But my boyfriend Zaid remained untouched like a stone and said, "Miss Cheslin, don't you think it'll be much more persuasive if you could just keep your hands off me before uttering those excuses?"I silently withdrew my hands and put on a serious look. "Babe! I was thinking about giving you a relaxing massage after your long day of training, which is also a credit for your hard work on bed."Zaid's eyes turned slightly gloomy as he looked at me. "I want to move out.""What? Why is that?""Miss Cheslin, you have
3I was not a fool, so I could understand what he meant by saying those words.And I was quite interested in him. So I asked, "What, do you want me to be your girlfriend?"To be honest, I wasn't confident enough to think that an outstanding young man like Zaid would really want to date me.The most possibility was just that we had great sex last night, and he wasn't seeing anyone recently. That's why he wanted to kill some more time with me."That was fine because I had the same thought.Zaid had a pair of beautiful eyes. The corners of his eyes were slightly long, and his pupils were as clear as the sky.Right now he was staring intently at me with those pretty eyes and nodded solemnly to answer, "Yes, I do."Just like that, this relationship was hastily settled.My gaze followed his handsome face all the way down and passed by his well-defined shoulders, neck, and chest muscles. Then, I fixed my eyes on his waistline and the six abs that had nervously retracted.Probably be
5He was really good at handling women.Even though he was just pretending. I instantly understood why women liked to go for young men.They were sensitive, considerate, and particularly good at flirting.How could I not be sad when I had ended an eight-year relationship that I devoted my affection to?Thinking back when I broke up with my first love, Xander Harris appeared and began to pursue me wholeheartedly.I was moved by his caring actions and it didn't take long for me to say yes. In order to stay with him, I didn't even go back to my hometown after graduation. Instead, I stayed in this city.When I first graduated, my monthly salary was far too low and the rent accounted for a quarter. In this extremely expensive first-tier city, I had to move in with Xander in order to save money.He came from a well-off family, but he would never pay more than me. Including the rent, daily expenses and our dating fee, we all went dutch.When it came to the seventh year of our relatio
7Zaid didn't let me down at all. The next week, he made great use of the key I gave him and moved in with all his luggage. He filled my refrigerator and cabinet with food.He even bought a beautiful lunch box and fulfilled his promise to prepare lunch for me to carry to the company every day.He showed his cooking skills through the different kinds of lunch food he prepared for me. When I took out the lunch box at lunchtime in the company, my colleagues were all amazed. "Lillian, you have so much energy to cook for yourself!"The leader walked past. I was afraid that he would mistake something so I hurriedly said, "I don't have the time. My boyfriend prepared this for me.""How lucky you are!"Lucky?I picked up a piece of eggplant and was in a trance for a moment.The longer Zaid and I were together, the more I knew that our fragile relationship that started from sex from the very beginning would not last forever.I was eight years older than Zaid.He was not even born when
9I kept both Zaid and the photo wall he prepared in my room.For a long time after the selection competition, the school didn't prohibit students from living outside. As such, Zaid moved in with me. He was with me almost every night. Only when he had full classes to take the next day would he reluctantly say goodbye to me after dinner the night before.One night, when he went to wash the dishes in the kitchen, I saw a message on his phone that he had left on the table. I couldn't help glancing over and reading it.Maya Jacklin: [Then I'll wait for you at the canteen tomorrow morning.]I lowered my gaze to stare at the fruit tray in silence. Somewhere in my heart ached.I clearly remembered that Tucker had told me before that there was a senior who had pursued Zaid for a long time, and her name was Maya Jacklin."Lilly, jobs are done here."Zaid came out of the kitchen and walked over as he shook the water droplets off his hands. He picked up his phone from the table before typ
11A few days later while I was working on a tight deadline, I received a call from an unknown number."Lillian Cheslin, we need to talk..."I frowned. "Xander Harris?""Yes, Lilly, your parents contacted me last night, and they didn't want you to break up with me either." Xander had purposely softened his voice on the phone, but there was still a lingering pride in his tone. "I was just doing silly things. I have made it clear to Scarlett that I won't contact her again. Let's get married next year, okay?"I held the phone more tightly without saying anything.I could imagine how my parents belittled me in front of him and even begged him for forgiveness last night.From their point of view, that was how the world worked. Even if Xander had cheated on and betrayed me, I could only marry him because I had lived with him for four years."My parents' views don't represent mine. We have broken up," I said coldly, "and I have work to do. If there's nothing else, I'll hang up."Xand
13I knew I had been tricked. Stunned briefly, I pulled a long face and intended to leave.But my father shouted from behind me, "Stop right there!"So he pretended to be sick and asked me to go home. His purpose was to make me go on a blind date.According to them, one guy was the son of my mother's high school classmate. He had just finished his postgraduate study and became a local civil servant in our hometown, which gave him a promising future.My parents knew Xander and I couldn't get together again, so they made great efforts to persuade this civil servant to meet me. The latter had agreed to have a meal with me and give us a chance to us to know each other.I leaned against the wall and looked at my parents coldly. "I have a boyfriend."My father slammed his chopsticks on the table."Xander has told me about that. Your boyfriend is a college student, too much younger than you. Lillian Cheslin, you're so shameless. Your mother and I feel ashamed for you!"I felt a sharp
