Chapter 163 The Heirs 21
Yu Ziran's half face hidden in the shadows moved slightly, and an uncontrollable smile appeared at the corners of his lips.
He pursed his lips and said nonchalantly, "After the show airs, you won't be short of money anymore."
There is no need for her to continue studying at Imperial High School and endure everything she doesn't like after she is no longer short of money. This is what Yu Ziran meant by that.
Zhu Yue thought about it and nodded in agreement with his idea.
She originally wanted to come to this school for a mission, but later found that it was of no help to the mission.
This world is weird in every way.
Including the clueless task of marrying into a wealthy family which has not surfaced until now.
There really is no clue at all.
Zhu Yue already wanted to give up.
"I've never asked you something I'm curious about." Zhu Yue looked at him. Now that they were getting to know each other, it was rare that she really considered him a friend.
"I feel like you don't have a strong passion for acting. I'm surprised you've persisted." Zhu Yue thought for a moment and continued, "And your family, don't they have any objections to your choice of career?"
"What makes you think I don't have a passion for acting? I'm also curious about this." Yu Ziran turned the cup, "If I didn't like it, I wouldn't have to endure the high-pressure work and control my diet and rest. I'm not short of money."
"Do you act in real life?" Zhu Yue pondered, thinking back to the first time they met, the feeling Yu Ziran gave her was completely different from his personality now that they were familiar with each other.
"Well, I mean, when you were filming Cui Bian's movie, you looked different than you do now. Were you playing me then?"
Her words could not help but bring a smile to his face, a rare genuine expression of his.
"I thought you wouldn't say it," he said. "It seems I should have believed in our friendship more."
He made a small joke, and then explained: "Everyone has a social mask, and you don't look at me like that. At that time, I didn't know that we would become friends later. But you will find that sometimes, creating an image of yourself that is difficult to approach and difficult to mess with in the ideal image of a big star in the eyes of outsiders will reduce a lot of trouble, right? But when I met you later, I stopped pretending. I found that I still didn't want to leave a bad impression in your heart. I wanted to be your friend."
Zhu Yue couldn't help laughing. "Fortunately you didn't pretend in front of me all the time, otherwise I might have noticed it but kept silent, thinking you..." She nodded at her temple.
Yu Ziran said, as if he understood: "You would think I have a mental problem or something else wrong, right?"
"Yeah." Zhu Yue nodded in agreement.
Whether you admit it or not, people are social animals in this world. If you look like someone who is not easy to mess with, others will subconsciously treat you with more caution, just like the middle school boys who play pranks on girls of the same age. Do they dare to tease serious adults? In fact, bullying is everywhere. It's just that most of the time it is not so intense and conspicuous.
Even within a family, sensible people are often ignored more than willful ones. Why is this so? It’s a deep-rooted human nature.
After drinking, Zhu Yue returned to his residence and checked the text messages on his mobile phone. The salary for this drama had made a qualitative leap compared to the film period. After the company's commission and tax, he could still get more than one million.
This amount of money is not enough to buy a house in a good area of Seoul, so you can only choose to pay a down payment in some remote location.
Zhu Yue thought about it and decided not to touch the money.
She was still somewhat unwilling to accept the fact. Was being an actress the only task she could accomplish in this world?
But she is not a persistent person, and most of the time she will just go with the flow when faced with choices.
This time is no exception. The side quests that have never appeared and the target characters that have no clues have made her realize that persistence will only bring burden to her mood and will not bring more help. Now that so much time has passed, Zhu Yue can convince herself to let it go.
Lying on the big bed in the company dormitory, Zhu Yue put aside his desire for points. Now he had to solve another problem.
She didn't want her real life to be gradually swallowed up by the mission.
"System, can I choose to stop the monthly mission? For example, wait until I live my own life and die and then start again as a soul."
Zhu Yue sometimes felt that she was too awkward and arrogant. She struggled to maintain her own self in every mission, thinking that as long as she didn't make friends and didn't invest her feelings, she would not be affected by the world. She would always be able to maintain her own self and know where her real home was.
But this confrontation, this unspoken resistance, not only made her look arrogant, but also seriously affected her mental state.
She hadn't felt pure happiness and joy in a long time.
Mingming initially thought that time travel and the almost infinite life span gained were the best opportunities and miraculous treasures.
But, it seems that all gifts do not come without a price.
Zhu Yue didn't want to get lost, so she morbidly brainwashed herself into not taking the mission world seriously, and treated real people almost arrogantly, regarding them all as NPCs, thus isolating herself from the world.
However, it is not good to resist the feelings of the whole world, especially when these years have far exceeded the length of time she has spent in her own world. Can she still tell which side is real and which side is fake?
From wanting to die peacefully to accumulating points in exchange for skills, he changed from being passive to actively doing tasks.
To some extent, this is a way for Zhu Yue to save herself.
She felt that with the skills, she could make some changes to her current situation.
She had deliberately avoided thinking about her true thoughts, but now it seemed she could not escape them.
The fundamental reason why she was so eager for soul cultivation was that she wanted to control her own destiny freely.
According to the system rules, the task must be completed once a month. If she gives up, she will lose the system.
She was a greedy girl. She wanted to have the ability to travel to other worlds freely, but she didn't want to have to go there once a month. She wanted to go according to her own wishes. It didn't have to be once a month. Why couldn't it be once a year, once in ten years, or even once a day when she needed it.
The point is that she wants to take the initiative into her own hands.
Just thinking about how difficult this is can make you realize how difficult it is.
She knew it might be difficult, but her character did not allow her to give up when faced with difficulties. When it came to what she really wanted, Zhu Yue was also very wolf-like. Once she had set her sights on a goal, she would never let go even if she died.
The system can detect her mood.
It seemed as if I could feel Zhu Yue’s depression.
[Host, it's OK. But if you choose this path, then if the mission fails, there will be no chance to start over.]
