When the Stars Tremble

Chapter 54: Fifty-four stars

Jiang Chuyi's chin was pinched, and she was forced to turn her head and look at Zongye. She actually listened to his answer seriously for two seconds. She used up her last bit of strength and punched him in the chest, "Disgusting."

Zongye didn't hide at all, he took her hand lovingly, rubbed her ears closely, "Yeah, I'm dirty."

As he spoke, his hand slid down along the soft body again, passing the groove of the spine, and his middle finger was slightly hooked.

Jiang Chuyi shuddered and turned over to avoid it.

Her calves rubbed against the slippery wet stains on the bed sheet. Her face flushed as she realized what it was. She wanted to move to another place, but she found that the wrinkled bed was covered with...

She was tossed about in a mess, and in her distraction she didn't even notice that Soye's clothes were still on. Except for the redness in the corners of his eyes and a cut on his mouth, everything else was normal.

Jiang Chuyi suddenly struggled, "I don't want to lie here anymore."

Zong also laughed.

Pick the person up and place him horizontally on the soft lazy sofa.

Jiang Chuyi hugged her calves and rested her chin on her knees, watching Zong Ye methodically remove the sheets, quilt covers, and pillows one by one, and then took out a new four-piece set from the cabinet next to her and put them on.

"Would you like me to give you a bath?"

Jiang Chuyi shook her head tiredly.

Zong Ye picked up his phone to check the time. It was already three in the morning. He looked at her for a while and called Wen Shu, "Are you still drinking outside?"

"Yeah, what's wrong?"

"Can you help me get some clean clothes?"

"Your girlfriend wants to change?"

"Um."

After waiting for a while, there was a knock on the door. Zong Ye went to open the door and took the clothes handed to him by Wen Shu, "Thank you."

"Tsk, is that the end?" Wen Shu smiled recklessly, looking over his shoulder and trying to look into the room.

Zong Ye, who always kept his mouth shut about such matters, moved slightly to block her sight.

Wen Shu glared at him and said, "I'm late and haven't seen your girlfriend yet. Why didn't you say hello?"

Souya's expression did not change: "It's not appropriate now, let's do it another day."

Wen Shu choked.

After taking a shower and lying on the clean bed again, Jiang Chuyi finally felt the drunkenness and fatigue coming up at the same time.

Play with your phone for two minutes and then put it down.

I don’t know how long it took, but the sound of water dripping in the bathroom stopped.

The room fell into darkness, the mattress beside her sank slightly, and she was embraced in a moisture-stained embrace.

The coolness from his body made Jiang Chuyi shiver, and her mind became clearer. She touched his arm to confirm, "Did you take a cold shower?"

"Um."

The purpose of taking such a long time to take a cold shower is self-evident... Jiang Chuyi recalled the marginal affair just now. It was basically all unilateral "output" by Zong Ye. She was made defenseless and had no time to take care of other things...

Jiang Chuyi stammered: "Actually, I can help you too."

"How can you help me?"

She endured the shame and said: "It's just... hands... or..."

Zongye closed his eyes slightly and rubbed her neck affectionately with his nose, "Chu Yi, you are so erotic."

Jiang Chuyi was choked.

Who is the pornographic one?! The two things she said were all learned from him. When she was still simply fantasizing about a warm and romantic relationship, he had already personally led her to experience the other side of this world without any bottom line.

Jiang Chuyi has never been good at quarreling. Even though she had many things to say in rebuttal, she could only stupidly say back after thinking about it for a few times: "Okay, I'm erotic, and you're the purest."

Zong didn't say anything, just smiled, opened his mouth and bit her shoulder.

Once you take a bite, you can't stop.

Jiang Chuyi thought he was being "gentle afterward" and she endured it at first, but then she felt like he was really biting her to vent his anger, even leaving teeth marks. She felt pain and was a little annoyed, "Why did you bite me all of a sudden?"

His voice lowered even more, and he murmured with a mixture of panting: "Because Chu Yi is so cute."

Because she is so cute, Zong Ye has no resistance. Loving her requires restraint, but restraint makes him painful, and he can only bully her uncontrollably. There is a definition in psychology called cute aggression. When seeing something you like too much, the desire to abuse is like the body's self-defense mechanism, using harm to forcibly hedge against this love and prevent yourself from completely losing control.

Meeting his friends was just a formality. Zong Ye only wanted to be alone with Jiang Chuyi and didn't like anyone or anything to take away her attention. In this enclosed space, she could only look at him and listen to him. She needed him to take care of her dressing, eating, and drinking.

Zongye felt extremely satisfied.

Jiang Chuyi didn't expect that she would walk out of the room of 23 Epoch again the next day.

She rushed back to Suzhou to film a movie. Her legs were weak and her bones were almost falling apart due to exhaustion. She fell asleep in the car.

Fortunately, Zong Ye still knew his limits, knowing that her skin was thin and it would easily leave marks on her body, so he didn't kiss her too hard like he did in the hotel. But he tortured her in many ways, making her happy, making her suffer... Jiang Chuyi was half-hearted, and her bottom line was pushed again and again. In the end, she gave up on herself. The only word left in her mind was, your circle is so messed up.

The phenomenon-level top star's suicide-style public relationship, leaving no room for maneuver or retreat, shocked and puzzled people. This matter involved a wide range of people, and online public opinion continued to explode and ferment.

Over the past year, the scandal between Zong Ye and Jiang Chuyi has been making headlines, making headlines every other day, and has been highly controversial. It even caused a century-long quarrel among fans. Who would have thought that it would come to an end so soon - the man permanently retired from the circle and apologized, thus putting an end to the scandal.

The debate in the fan circle about whether Souya should quit the entertainment circle for love continues. A certain internet celebrity expressed his opinion:

[Everyone’s love is limited. Celebrities are also human beings, so their love is limited. Making their relationship public is Souya’s explanation to his fans; quitting the entertainment industry and apologizing is his explanation to his love, nothing more.]

Fans of Yijian Zongqing CP collectively went crazy, and the team began to grow rapidly at an unprecedented speed. Unexpectedly, a joke about "bullying domestic entertainment" that they made when they were eating melons has now come true.

Overnight, all videos related to the two of them soared in popularity on the rankings, and the related CUTs of "Shining Stars" swept the entire B station.

Although even passers-by wrote thousands of words to discuss this matter, few celebrities dared to express their opinions. Both CP fans and sole fans have become a group that cannot be provoked, fearing that a wrong wording will cause huge trouble. The only one who dared to repost Zongye's Weibo at the height of the storm was a certain "true-nature rapper".

@赵光宇: The end of the fucking world! Love is innocent!

On the day Jiang Chuyi returned to work, as soon as she walked into the shooting site, the whole place fell silent.

She received "admiring" stares from all sides.

After all, Souya's image as a dignified and elegant male star is deeply rooted in people's hearts, and now he is simply crazy for her to an unimaginable degree...

During the break, several actors from the same group came up to her and asked about Zong Ye. Jiang Chuyi couldn't say much and could only answer vaguely.

After returning to the hotel in the evening, Jiang Chuyi memorized her lines for the next day and finally found time to call Chen Yi back.

Chen Yi was furious: "Such a big thing happened, why are you disappearing? I sent you a message but you didn't even reply. You're driving me crazy, aren't you?"

Jiang Chuyi explained: "I have been with Zong Ye these two days."

Chen Yi asked very politely: "Zong Ye really plans to do that? ... You won't do that anymore in the future?"

"Probably, he won't come back."

The voice on the other end of the phone disappeared, and there was silence for half a minute. Chen Yi couldn't believe it: "Really, Jiang Chuyi, I think I am ignorant. There are actually such men in this world. There are actually such men in this world... Is it reasonable for you not to get married?"

Jiang Chuyi: “…”

Chen Yi's heart was in turmoil, and he said with emotion: "Although I feel sorry for Zong Ye's fans, but I am your friend, so I think it's really cool that he retired from the entertainment industry."

Jiang Chuyi said in a low voice, "I actually don't want him to quit the entertainment industry."

"You should be more open-minded. If he doesn't quit, you will be scolded all the time as long as you are still in love. You know how strict the requirements are for female stars in the domestic entertainment industry now. If he quits, at most there will be some controversy during this period, which is better than you being scolded all the time. Cut the Gordian knot."

"I know, you don't have to comfort me."

After talking to Chen Yi on the phone, Jiang Chuyi lay on her side on the bed, touching her chest, feeling empty. She had been fooling around with Zong Ye for two days in Shanghai, and the hugs and kisses he gave her made her not think about anything else. Now that she was back on the set, alone, she felt a sense of disparity surrounded by reality.

Jiang Chuyi tossed and turned, sat up, and took out his cell phone to send a message to Zong Ye.

Jiang Chuyi: “Poke”

Jiang Chuyi: "Are you asleep? What are you doing? I miss you a little bit."

Souya: "He's still in a meeting at the company. Can I come visit him tomorrow?"

Jiang Chuyi: "Forget it, my brain doesn't work properly when I see you now, how can I concentrate on acting?"

Zong also sent a voice message.

She turned on the speaker and put the phone to her ear. It was still the same bass that could make half of her ears numb. "Are you teasing me, Chu Yi?"

Jiang Chuyi listened to it several times spinelessly.

It’s so bad... She felt like she was almost hopeless... Why did her heart beat faster just by hearing Souya’s voice

*

On June 15, Zong also announced his retirement. After that day, Yijian Zongqing quickly rose to become the top CP in the domestic entertainment industry, officially entering its heyday, and his position was unshakable.

The man has since stopped being in the entertainment industry, and all CP fans have been "forced" to be purified by the woman. Although Jiang Chuyi does not follow the route of a traffic artist, her popularity is now slightly higher than Chi Mengyue and Xin He. All her endorsements and magazines were bought out overnight, and her popularity on the super topic has skyrocketed to the top of the female star.

Such a tragic official announcement has taken fan abuse to a new level.

CP fans no longer quarreled with Zong Ye and Wei fans, and even when they were scolded by their former biggest enemy, they all chose to swallow their anger tacitly. Even when the toxic fans scolded them on the street, they turned a blind eye and silently defended Jiang Chuyi.

Jiang Chuyi suddenly became famous, Gao Ning had a job in the Kaijun Building, and countless job offers came in as if money was falling from the sky. He was overwhelmed and the conference room phone was busy for weeks.

Gao Ning called every few days, but Jiang Chuyi didn't budge at all. She kept saying what she said at the beginning: "No red carpet walks, no variety shows, no interviews, just focus on making movies."

Gao Ning was so angry that he almost vomited blood. He was furious on the other end of the phone: "Such a good opportunity, you have to grab it! Can you stop being stubborn?"

Jiang Chuyi calmly replied: "The popularity I have now is due to Zong Ye's retirement. I just want to do my own thing and don't want to use my relationship with Zong Ye to make money after he retires."

Gao Ning was puzzled: "But Zong Ye has already retired from the entertainment circle. Whether you use this popularity or not, his retirement is a fact. Anyway, it has come to this, why don't you seize this opportunity to climb up?"

"I'm already working hard to climb up, but my understanding of career success may be a little different from yours." Jiang Chuyi was pestered by her and had to use her trump card, "Gao Ning, if I remember correctly, my contract with Kaijun seems to be expiring soon."

After a long silence, Gao Ning hung up the phone.

In early August, the filming of "Qiao Shu" was completed and Zong also came to visit the crew.

The entire crew, from actors and directors to script supervisors, all received gifts. In addition, the relatives who came to visit the set also gave them several food carts, which were stocked with ice cubes, watermelon, coffee, milk tea and desserts.

The scorching heat seemed to melt the air, the cicadas were chirping incessantly, and under the blue awning in the shade of the trees, a man with a narrow waist and long legs was leaning on the table, his feet against the horizontal bar, talking to the producer.

People passing by couldn't help but stare at it.

Jiang Chuyi took a lot of time to get into the role.

While putting on her makeup, she glanced towards the awning.

There were many people between them.

Zongye had a smile on his face. He had a well-proportioned body and any clothes he wore looked great. He was a pleasing sight wherever he stood.

Jiang Chuyi took the first look and then took a second look.

The makeup lady teased her, "Teacher Chuyi, your husband is so charming, is he distracted from work?"

Jiang Chuyi coughed and looked away calmly, "It's okay..."

After the filming was finished, Jiang Chuyi took a young actor from the crew to find Zong Ye.

They hadn't seen each other for a long time, and when they looked into each other's eyes, they were both stunned.

The little girl carefully hid behind Jiang Chuyi, holding the hem of her skirt with one hand, and looked at Zong Ye eagerly, "Hello, brother."

After saying that, he buried his face tightly in Jiang Chuyi's waist again.

Zongye smiled with his thin lips, squatted down, put his elbows on his knees, and looked at her at eye level, "Hello."

Jiang Chuyi touched her head and asked softly, "Yueyue, don't you want to talk to your brother? Why are you shy again?"

Zong was also very patient and said in a gentle voice: "What does Yueyue want to tell me?"

Yueyue blinked her big grape-like eyes and said, "You are Sister Chuyi's... boyfriend."

"right."

Yueyue looked at Jiang Chuyi for help again: "I want my brother to blow bubbles with me."

Jiang Chuyi laughed and raised her chin, "Then ask him if he agrees."

Not far away, someone secretly raised his mobile phone and took a picture of this scene.

Jiang Chuyi squatted beside the little girl, and Zong Ye held the bubble stick for her. Yueyue puffed up her cheeks and blew gently. The colorful bubbles slowly floated into the sky under the sunlight.

That night, Yijian Zongqing's super topic posted a post from a Douban entertainment group - New Witness

Guagua: I’m going to reveal something secretly. Today, the family members came to visit the set. It was so cool to ship them on set… The two of them were so sweet and gentle, and I don’t know why the young couple was so innocent. It felt like they were shy when they looked at each other… So innocent. TT, the two of them were playing with a little girl in the crew, and they looked like a family of three. Souya peeked at Jiang Chuyi, and I almost fainted… Souya is so handsome in person… The kind of handsome that I can’t find an adjective for. When he took off his sunglasses and showed his face, I almost fainted. I was hit hard! He is also very low-key and polite, and very considerate. He took the initiative to bring us water and ice… But a friend went up to him to ask for an autograph, but was politely rejected. So sad…

[Are there any pictures? I am half dead, I need help urgently, how can I live without pictures? ]

[Just listening to the description makes me dizzy... I love watching it, I like it so much, please post more... My mental state needs to be saved... Chuyi teacher, can you please take your amateur husband out more often? We will raise funds to produce a love variety show for you! ]

[I hate people who don’t understand the meaning of Yijian Zong. They are all fucking shit. I’d like to quote Mr. Zhao’s famous quote: Fuck the world, love is not a crime! ]

[I did so many bad things in my previous life that I was punished in this life. I am going to chant the Great Compassion Mantra in front of the Buddha. I hope that before I go to hell, I can see Zong Ye and Chu Yi kissing each other...]

*

On August 4, the seventh day of the seventh month of the lunar calendar, Jiang Chuyi specially changed into a white dress and took Zong Ye to the private cinema opened by Chen Yi's friend.

There were many people out celebrating the festival today, and they were stuck in traffic in the city for half an hour.

The streets were filled with people selling flowers, making it difficult for people to move.

The car was stuck on the road and couldn't move. The two were sitting in the car chatting when an old lady came over.

Zongye rolled down the car window completely and asked, "What's wrong?"

The old woman took off her backpack and handed over a few roses: "Do you want to buy flowers for your girlfriend?"

Zong Ye looked at Jiang Chuyi, took the flowers from his mother-in-law, opened the car door, got out and talked to the old lady.

When the tall and handsome man lowered his head to embroider, the old woman saw a few girls not far away holding their phones to take pictures of them. She couldn't help but ask curiously, "Are you a star? Many people are taking pictures of you."

The man smiled faintly and answered her in a shameful tone, "I'm not a star."

The traffic ahead was cleared, and Zongye looked ahead with his hands on the steering wheel.

Jiang Chuyi sat in the passenger seat, absentmindedly playing with the flowers in her hand, and occasionally stole a glance at the driver. I don't know if it's because they haven't seen each other for too long, but now she just can't get enough of looking at him...

Chen Yi had made arrangements in advance, and when the two of them arrived at the private cinema, the girl at the front desk did not ask any questions and led them inside with a smile.

After adjusting the equipment in the room, the little girl couldn't help but ask them if they could take a photo with her.

The two agreed.

After everyone left, the door of the box was closed, leaving only two people in the room. The lights dimmed, and the screen began to show the movie title, with the classic dragon head logo on a green background emerging. Jiang Chuyi sipped the water and called him unintentionally, "Zong Ye."

"Um?"

"Why didn't I realize before that you are such a romantic attraction?"

Zong Ye was slightly stunned.

She was a little depressed, pursed her lips, and whispered: "Why did you smile so beautifully at the other girls just now?"

Realizing that she was jealous, realizing that... she had developed a possessiveness towards him. Zongye paused, an indescribable feeling rising in his heart, swelling and numb.

There was a hint of apology in his tone, and he said slowly: "Then I won't smile at others or talk to others in the future. If Chu Yi is worried, just lock me up so that I can only see you and only smile at you, okay?"

Jiang Chuyi: “…”

She was silenced by his sick words, "It's... not that serious."

The atmosphere became strange. The movie had been playing for several minutes, and no one was watching it.

Jiang Chuyi put down the water and cleared his throat, "Forget it, let's watch a movie first."

Zongye hummed.

He leaned back in his chair, staring at the big screen, wondering what was going on in his mind. After a long while, Zongye finally realized, "Why is it this movie?"

Jiang Chuyi quickly replied: "I asked your friends last time, and they said you like Ago very much."

She couldn't hide her pride in her tone, pointing at the white dress she was wearing, "Didn't you notice? I specially changed into clothes similar to those I wore back then. The lead actress will be watching it again with you in person. How is it? Are you happy?"

Zongye was silent for a moment, looking at him deeply.

There was something hard to describe in that pair of beautiful eyes that made people tremble. Jiang Chuyi felt irritated all over after being stared at. After holding on for a few seconds, she was the first to look away.

After a while, she heard him whisper, "Happy."

People often post comments online about Jiang Chuyi's appearance.

It is said that although she did not grow up ugly like other child stars, her temperament was always dull and ignorant, and her face was not so good, not charming or stunning enough.

But when Zong Ye was a teenager, every stage of his sexual enlightenment was guided by Jiang Chuyi alone. When he didn't know anything, he indulged in Jiang Chuyi's amorous feelings for no reason.

Especially in Qin Tong's hands, she is a perfect work. Even in this kind of gloomy film, she is only fourteen or fifteen years old, but she still has a charm. This kind of charm is very strange, it is not easy to see at a glance, it is more like seeing flowers in the fog, hazy and weak.

Zong was not sure if he was the only one in the world who could be sexually aroused by this art film that he had watched countless times.

Jiang Chuyi continued watching the movie and didn't notice the changes in the people around her.

At the 57th minute of "Argo", the girl is sitting on the rocks by the sea, her jet-black hair blown by the wind, her snow-white legs and the hem of her skirt wet by the water.

The movie's dialogue is a monologue with original dubbing. Even after nearly ten years, Jiang Chuyi's voice has not changed much.

The past and present time and space seemed to flow and intertwine with the waves. The fishermen on the screen and Zong Ye outside the screen were listening to her quietly.

"I hate my father when he's drunk, I hate my mother when she cries for him, I hate the ditch in front of my house, I hate the smell of seafood, I hate the boys in my class, I hate my physics teacher."

"Even though I hate many things in this world, and hate this weather that is sometimes good and sometimes bad, but—"

Jiang Chuyi leaned close to his ear and gently added the last sentence in a voice almost identical to the monologue, "But Zong Ye, I like you so much."
