Chapter 536: Becoming a Star
Song Yin returned three days after Li Chenxu left. This time, Li Chenxu went abroad without calling Mu Xiaoyu, just like before. His previous explanation was that he didn't want Mu Xiaoyu to overthink things, but why this time?
Mu Xiaoyu wasn't feeling well, and when Song Yin returned, she saw Mu Xiaoyu looking listless.
She couldn't stand Mu Xiaoyu's appearance the most. As soon as she arrived at the place the two had agreed to meet, she saw her like this and immediately gave her a piece of her mind and a chestnut.
"It's only been a few days, look at the state you've become."
Mu Xiaoyu received a flick on the forehead from Song Yin, but instead of complaining of the pain as usual, she glared at Song Yin listlessly and said, "What do you mean? I'm exactly the same as before."
Song Yin was too lazy to waste words with Mu Xiaoyu. Upon hearing this, she rolled her eyes at Mu Xiaoyu, sat down opposite her, stretched out her long arm, cupped Mu Xiaoyu's face, looked her up and down, and finally said, "Tell me, how long did you go to sleep last night? Look at your dark circles, they're so dark."
Mu Xiaoyu didn't say anything. To be honest, she barely slept a wink last night. She didn't know what was wrong with her. She didn't know when it started, but she felt increasingly insecure. It had only been a few days since Li Chenxu left, but the anxiety in her heart had become so severe that she had started having insomnia.
Even though Song Yin was her best friend, Mu Xiaoyu was too embarrassed to tell her.
So when Mu Xiaoyu heard Song Yin's words, she just mumbled, "I was rushing to finish my manuscript last night, so I went to bed late. But why did you suddenly come back? Didn't you say you wouldn't be back for a while? Why are you back now?"
Actually, Mu Xiaoyu was a little worried. She was afraid that Song Yin would come back because of her. If that happened, she would feel very guilty.
Song Yin did not answer Mu Xiaoyu. Instead, she rested her chin on one hand and looked at Mu Xiaoyu thoughtfully, as if she was pondering something.
She rarely acted so seriously, and Mu Xiaoyu felt a little uneasy under her gaze. She shifted nervously and muttered, "Why are you looking at me like that?"
"I'm seeing if you're telling the truth or just fooling me."
Song Yin withdrew her hand. She had returned in a hurry and hadn't had a proper rest on the way. After saying this, she leaned back in her chair, took a sip of water, and then glanced at Mu Xiaoyu and said, "I asked you out this time because there's something very important I want to tell you."
"Ah? What's the matter?"
Mu Xiaoyu was a little nervous, afraid that Song Yin had asked her out because of Li Chenxu and Xu Sulin, and she was now somewhat reluctant to talk about it.
Seeing Mu Xiaoyu's nervous expression, Song Yin couldn't help but sigh. She felt that Mu Xiaoyu had changed a lot, and looking at Mu Xiaoyu now, Song Yin could hardly remember what Mu Xiaoyu looked like when she first met her.
However, she is Mu Xiaoyu's best friend, and no matter what Mu Xiaoyu becomes, she will always be her best friend.
Thinking of this, Song Yin suppressed her melancholy and looked at Mu Xiaoyu seriously, saying, "Xiaoyu, do you really like comics, or do you just treat comics as your job?"
"There are probably two reasons. What's wrong? Why are you suddenly asking this question? Is something wrong with the movie?"
Song Yin shook her head. Actually, she had wanted to ask this question some time ago, but at that time, the matter between Mu Xiaoyu and Li Chenxu had not been resolved, so it was delayed.
Now, she felt that things might not be peaceful between Mu Xiaoyu and Li Chenxu. Rather than letting Mu Xiaoyu think about things all day long, it would be better to keep her busy.
Thinking of this, Song Yin's gaze towards Mu Xiaoyu became even more resolute.
"Xiaoyu, are you interested in becoming a star?"
"What did you say?"
Mu Xiaoyu suspected she was hallucinating, otherwise why would Song Yin say such a thing?
"Song Yin, you're not joking, are you?"
After a while, Mu Xiaoyu finally suppressed her surprise and looked at Song Yin with a complicated expression, asking her a question.
Song Yin rolled her eyes at Mu Xiaoyu: "Do you think I'm the kind of person who would joke like that? I'm serious..."
Song Yin was indeed joking; in fact, she had never considered having Mu Xiaoyu become a star before. It wasn't until a few months ago that her agent suddenly brought it up with her.
Although Mu Xiaoyu is just a comic artist, she is in no way inferior to celebrities in terms of appearance, and it's no exaggeration to say that she is much prettier than many current celebrities. More importantly, she has enough buzz, something many celebrities crave.
Putting everything else aside, these two points alone are enough to make Mu Xiaoyu a star.
Moreover, she will become a very popular star.
Mu Xiaoyu was so surprised by Song Yin's explanation that she was speechless. She had never imagined becoming a star. All she could do was draw; she couldn't do anything else. How could she become a star?
So after a brief moment of surprise, Mu Xiaoyu shook her head and refused: "No way, how could I possibly become a star? I don't know anything, what kind of star would I be? Besides, why are you saying this?"
“I just feel that you shouldn’t continue like this. I initially thought that if you really loved drawing comics, it wouldn’t matter whether you became a star or not. But you just said that both reasons matter. This means that comics aren’t that important to you. If you become a star, you can still draw. Xiaoyu, don’t you think that Li Chenxu occupies too much space in your life?”
Song Yin didn't want to hide it from Mu Xiaoyu. In fact, she had previously thought it was absurd to let Mu Xiaoyu become a star. However, as the conflicts between Mu Xiaoyu and Li Chenxu continued to arise, she felt that she could no longer remain indifferent as before.
Mu Xiaoyu looked at Song Yin's serious expression and bit her lip, remaining silent. They hadn't known each other for very long, but their feelings for each other couldn't be measured by time alone.
Song Yin didn't say many things. She didn't mention Xu Sulin and Li Chenxu's matter this time, but she didn't understand what Mu Xiaoyu was thinking.
Rather than making Mu Xiaoyu busy and tired, she didn't want to see Mu Xiaoyu sad again.
Therefore, she would encourage Mu Xiaoyu to become a star.
“I know this is sudden for you, and I didn’t expect you to agree right now. I’ll be back on set in about a week. Before that, I hope you can think it over and give me an answer. If you agree, I’ll handle the rest.”
