Names mentioned in this chapter (which can also be found in the glossary ):
-云舒( yún shū)- Yun Shu, the female lead
– 傅然( Fù rán)- Fu Ran, the male lead in our novel and the original novel
– 张大伟( Zhāng Dà wěi)- David Zhang, Yun Shu’s manager
– 金媛( jīn yuàn)- Jin Yuan, the original villainess in the original novel.
David Zhang was present when Fu Ran gave the cheque.
To be honest, after knowing Yun Shu for many years, David Zhang understood very well that this person is not progressive. So at first, he thought Yun Shu would not accept Fu Ran’s cheque. But who knew that she actually accepted it without any hesitation. After feeling surprised, he quickly figured out why she did it—
Who can ruthlessly refuse such a handsome and wealthy man?
Indeed, this was what Yun Shu thought. She also told David Zhang her thoughts on dating. David Zhang felt very helpless and could only remind Yun Shu to take precautions in protecting herself.
Then… Then, of course, he happily ate melon. <sup>[1]</sup>
Regardless of how good their relationship is, it didn’t affect him from eating melons.
Therefore, only after he repeatedly pressed Yun Shu did she spill the truth.
……
“In short, nothing happened between us now. We are still pure. It is not like what you imagine.”
That was how Yun Shu summarised.
David Zhang covered his mouth in disbelief and exclaimed exaggeratedly, “Oh my god. Both of you slept together, and nothing happened?”
With David Zhang’s many years of experience in eating melon, he could guarantee that the two were definitely not so simple. At least, it was not like what Yun Shu had said about them being “pure”. If they were really pure… Heh heh. Will the Male God <sup>[2]</sup> behave in this way?
Yun Shu rolled her eyes and said, “You must remind me of this harsh truth?”
David Zhang also rolled his eyes and responded, “Originally, I thought you were so impressive by winning the Male God over. I even wanted to take lessons from you. In the end… Heh heh.”
These two words, “heh heh”, were very witty.
Yun Shu felt sad. She touched her face and looked at her chest that was like the roaring sea. <sup>[3]</sup> She was unable to accept that she and Fu Ran spent a night together, and they were still pure as ever.
Yun Shu let out a sigh. Her life is so bitter. In her current and previous life, she couldn’t experience an impure pleasure.
David Zhang, “…”
He felt that it was better for him not to ask her what she was thinking.
**********
Not long after Yun Shu finished acting in a scene, she told David Zhang that she wanted to rest for a while. There was not much work lately. After she accepted Fu Ran’s cheque, David Zhang voluntarily reduced a lot of work for her after Fu Ran’s secretary hinted that to him.
As for the company? Oh, don’t worry. After the news spread yesterday, the company executives wished they could put Yun Shu on a pedestal.
Who lets their company’s background isn’t deep enough? And they are very in need of a sugar daddy.
Hence, after Yun Shu came out of the magazine publisher, she realised that she seemed to have no work today. There was also nothing scheduled for tomorrow and the day after. As for the film crew, she was almost done with filming her scenes. Most of her scenes were already filmed. Only an actor hadn’t joined the film crew yet. She and he still had two scenes together… Ay . She can go home and enjoy being a salted fish <sup>[4]</sup> life to the fullest!
Yun Shu told David Zhang to go home. On the way back, she remembered something and asked him to make a detour to the supermarket.
Yun Shu thought. Since her sugar daddy is so enthusiastic about her cooking, she should take advantage of these free days to make some food to pay tribute to her sugar daddy.
Oh, she will just treat it as practice before the agreed day.
The disguised Yun Shu’s thoughts wandered while strolling through the supermarket. However, she bumped into someone while she was not paying attention.
“Sorry, sorry….” Yun Shu bumped into a supermarket attendant who was working. Her back was facing Yun Shu, and it wasn’t because she didn’t watch her way that she bumped into the other person and scattered the things in the other person’s hand. Fortunately, it was not a fragile item. Otherwise, it would be even more troublesome.
That person didn’t mind it and said to Yun Shu, who was picking up the items, “It’s okay. I’ll do it myself.
When Yun Shu looked up, she was shocked to see the other person’s face. “Jin Yuan?”
<sup>[1]</sup> 吃瓜(chī guā)- Eat melon. It is Internet slang, which means the matter isn’t related to the particular reader, and the reader doesn’t comment and just read or spectate the situation. They often refer to themselves as 吃瓜群众(chīguāqúnzhòng)- peanut gallery/onlookers who are interested in the spectacle but don’t comment on them.
<sup>[2]</sup> 男神 [nán shén]: Male god. This Internet slang term is often used to describe one’s idol or love interest, usually of stunning looks and/or talents.
<sup>[3]</sup> It probably suggests that her chest was curvy and big.
<sup>[4]</sup> 咸鱼(xiányú)- Salted fish. There are several meanings. Firstly, it is a Cantonese metaphor for “dead”. Secondly, it is a Cantonese metaphor for “people who don’t want to move.” Thirdly, it is Internet slang for “people without dreams.” Fourthly, it is an online game term for “a player who does not or rarely spends energy and time participating in activities to improve oneself”. Lastly, it is a self-deprecating phrase on the internet “I’m a salted fish”.
