The Unexpected Rise Before My Exit from the Entertainment Industry

Chapter 9

Qin Wei widened her eyes and looked at Shen Qingqing.

Shen Qingqing raised the corners of her mouth as a smile spread across her face.

When working with Shen Kai, she would always hear him mention Qin Wei. Although she had also seen her on TV and had to admit she was good looking, she didn't think she was any less attractive.

But seeing Qin Wei today, dressed casually in workout clothes with a bare face, looking so beautiful even when fixing a bike, this surprised Shen Qingqing.

At the same time, an unpleasant feeling arose within her -

With such a bad temper, Qin Wei relied solely on her good looks to gain the affection of Best Actor Shen. But in Shen Qingqing's eyes, Qin Wei was completely unworthy of Best Actor Shen.

However, Qin Wei didn't know what she was thinking. Unlike Lin Qiqi, she wasn't the type of person to openly express her emotions on her face.

Her earlier words were abrupt and obscure. Qin Wei frowned and asked her:

"What are you talking about?"

Black fans:

[Wow! What Shen Qingqing said was a line spoken by Wei Yuyuan in "Fate in the Clouds"! Qin Wei's portrayal of Wei Yuyuan was perfect back then. She was always my white moonlight. I cried all night when she died.]

[Ah, I also felt indignant about Wei Yuyuan's fate! It was like six or seven years ago, right? So nostalgic.]

[That idiot Qin Wei actually forgot about her debut role? I've always viewed her through the Wei Yuyuan filter, so I find it hard to scold her when she screws up.]

[So it turns out Qin Wei is an idiot. She has the face of a fairy but never acts decently...]

...

Shen Qingqing was taken aback and felt a little embarrassed:

"I'm your biggest fan of that drama, and I love that line Wei Yuyuan said the most."

The name sounded familiar. It seemed to be a role the original Qin Wei had played.

But Qin Wei rarely watched dramas, so she didn't have much impression of it.

"Oh, is that so... Thank you..."

So Qin Wei could only respond perfunctorily. She then got up to wash her hands and shake hands with Shen Qingqing.

Shen Qingqing quickly declined and insisted on staying to help her.

Qin Wei politely declined:

"It's fine, don't get involved. It's dirty. The grease might get onto your white shirt."

After hearing this, Shen Qingqing wavered a little and murmured to herself:

"That's true. It's a Givenchy shirt sponsored by the brand."

Qin Wei frowned:

"Givenchy again?"

...

That night, Shen Qingqing naturally shared a room with Qin Wei. Qin Wei's bike still wasn't fixed by the evening, but she wasn't in a hurry either, so she just went back to the dorm.

When they entered the room, Shen Qingqing had just finished showering. The bathroom was still filled with mist and the scent of shower gel.

Shen Qingqing walked out elegantly in a bathrobe, using a towel to dry her hair.

Without any makeup on, her skin looked fair, smooth and delicate, exuding a youthful charm.

Even Qin Wei had to admit she was very pretty.

As expected, good looks were the entrance criteria in the entertainment industry. There was no shortage of good-looking men and women here, while she herself had once lacked such good looks.

Qin Wei looked at Shen Qingqing appreciatively. This quickly caught Shen Qingqing's attention.

Why was Qin Wei looking at her like that? And with such a meaningful gaze...

Could it be because of...

Best Actor Shen...

Shen Qingqing calmed herself down and pretended to be calm. While drying her hair, she tried to say as naturally as possible:

"You're back, Sis Qin! I just used the bathroom, so you can go take a shower now."

Qin Wei smiled and simply replied "Okay."

Was there a hidden agenda behind that meaningful smile of hers...

This was what Shen Qingqing wondered to herself. Her mind grew somewhat heavy, but she didn't say much more. She went and sat on her bed, absent-mindedly drying her hair.

Then she inadvertently noticed Qin Wei opening her luggage bag placed beside the bed. It looked quite heavy.

Qin Wei opened the luggage and took out a health pot and a bag of chrysanthemum, goji berries and silver flower. Shen Qingqing was stunned, then glanced towards Qin Wei's luggage. To her surprise, there were more than ten boxes of milk inside.

Shen Qingqing frowned.

Qin Wei also seemed to sense the gaze from behind. She took out a carton of milk and put it on Shen Qingqing's bed.

"Drinking milk helps you sleep and gives you calcium."

Qin Wei said,

"I won't drink any. I had instant noodles for lunch and feel a little hot inside. I'll boil some flower tea to clear away the heat."

The corner of Shen Qingqing's mouth twitched:

"I won't drink either... Sis Qin, I didn't expect you to be so attentive to health preservation..."

Qin Wei looked her up and down:

"The young need health preservation too. You haven't graduated from college yet! Just because you're young doesn't mean you can neglect your diet and rest. Minor issues accumulate slowly. Drink less alcohol, don't smoke, don't stay up late - that's how one can live long."

Shen Qingqing could hardly believe her ears.

Both of them had forgotten for the moment that there were cameras in the bedroom capturing their fragmented conversation, which was also broadcasted later -

[Shen Qingqing was left speechless by Qin Wei. Did Qin Wei forget that paparazzi caught her drinking until passing out at the bar in the early morning? Yet she still talks about health preservation? How fake!]

[Didn't she also drink and drive that time she drove her car into the sea? Isn't Sis Qin being a hypocrite here...]

[Changing the topic, if you pause at 1:50, you'll know why Egg Yolk couldn't carry that box. I'm dying of laughter.]

[Class monitor here! There were at least ten 500ml boxes of milk in Sis Qin's box, plus a health pot, a bag of flower tea, and a bag of walnuts... Damn, what is she bringing walnuts for? Does she have a nutcracker? Or is she going to crack them using the door?]

[She must crack them using the door! She's good at that. Her brain is like it got cracked by the door. Is she eating walnuts to nourish her brain?]

[She needs a brain first before nourishing it. Don't you guys remember when she mispronounced Xun Yu as Gou Huo? Sun Dan, who played Xun Yu, even had a black face then. Sis Qin is hopeless.]

...

After setting the timer on the health pot, Qin Wei went into the bathroom for a shower. When she came out, she was wearing the pajamas she had brought - loose, cotton, pink top and bottoms covered in strawberry bears.

Shen Qingqing was even a little dazed. Was this an unknown side of Qin Wei or was she doing this on purpose?

Shouldn't she be wearing sexy pure silk pajamas?

The pajamas looked so weird on Qin Wei!

Qin Wei also noticed the other's shocked and bewildered gaze. She smiled embarrassedly. The original Qin Wei indeed didn't have this style, but she wasn't used to those high-end yet overly sexy pajamas of Qin Wei either. So she had specifically ordered this online before coming on the show, and it was still a pre-order item.

Qin Wei tried to break the awkward silence:

"Disney limited edition. Do you want the link?"

Shen Qingqing: "..."

Black fans:

[Other female celebrities have a little princess living in their hearts, while strawberry bears live in Qin Wei's heart!]

[I'm cracking up! Sis Qan, is this pajama your company's arrangement for you to appear approachable? She actually looks pretty good in it haha. My heart is moved, this is adorable!]

[Shen Qingqing, can you post the link on Weibo? I want to buy it.]

[Same. I want to buy it too.]

[Waiting for link.]

[Please tag me when the link is posted. I want to buy it too.]

...

As it turned out, under Qin Wei's unintentional promotion, the pajama set quickly sold out.
