?Chapter 148: 148 You are very pretentious. Chapter 148: 148 You are very pretentious. Two people walked around the truck, circle after circle.
Only by the front of the truck, there was a desk lamp, and as the distance changed, their shadows continually elongated and then contracted.
“I’ve never seen such a dark sky.”
Bai Jinxuan suddenly looked up at the sky, took a long breath, and said, “Even when I was a child in town without stars or moon, it was never this dark. I can’t see anything; it’s a bit scary.”
Chen Xu turned to look at her profile, illuminated by the lamp ahead, casting a shadow that made her features look especially dimensional. He thought to himself that her face was like that of a star—as it would likely look good on camera.
He asked, “What made you think of becoming a star?”
She turned to look at him, her eyes seeming to sparkle as she said, “Every girl dreams of being a star, right? I was just lucky to make it happen.”
Chen Xu smiled and said, “To be honest, I think it’s quite unusual for someone with your personality to become a star.”
“That’s because I’ve met many kind people along the way—Sister Liu I worked with, Aunt Shao who was willing to sign me, the owner of the talent agency, my manager Fangfang, and everyone on my team. After coming here, I met you too. My mom used to tell me that optimistic girls are never out of luck. That’s why I’ve encountered so many good people.”
Upon hearing this, Chen Xu couldn’t help but laugh. “Do you have a slight misunderstanding of the term ‘good people’? I’m mean to you, make you do this and that; how does that make me a good person?”
“You think about sending me away, but it’s just a thought, not action.”
Bai Jinxuan shook her head. “You see, because you took me in, I can have hot meals, hot showers, and a safe sleep. If it weren’t for you, I might have already been killed by that robot.”
“Besides, now that it’s just the two of us, I have to do something. I don’t know much else, so I can only do odd jobs. If I did nothing, wouldn’t that just make me a burden? My mom always taught me to be a person of value, whether it be to society at large, a company, a team, or a family. Having value means you aren’t easily abandoned.”
As she spoke, Chen Xu watched her, reflecting on their recent interactions, feeling somewhat moved. What had she experienced in her childhood that made her so afraid of abandonment?
