Chapter 1103: Leaving Rongcheng City

Back at Feisheng, Chu Yao opened a bottle of red wine.

Nan Jiaojiao didn’t like drinking, but apart from wine, there was nothing else at Chu Yao’s home.

Drinking plain water was tasteless, so she watched Chu Yao snap a moody photo with a wine glass and post it on social media, then grabbed a cup herself, poured a little, took a sip and photographed the glass alongside half her face in the candlelight.

Chu Yao sneered, “Little kid, copying everything adults do.”

After Nan Jiaojiao posted on social media, she sent Lu Zhenzhen a message: Coming?

Two minutes later, she received a reply: Where?

Nan Jiaojiao replied: Feisheng, at Chu Yao’s place.

Lu Zhenzhen…

Suddenly, she wasn’t very willing.

Someone gets drunk and acts up, and if she doesn’t keep an eye on things, the innocent school girl Nan Jiaojiao would be overwhelmed.

“Baby, I’m thinking of moving.”

Nan Jiaojiao stared at her phone, not looking up, “Didn’t you just move here?”

“I mean—”

Chu Yao lay across the table, her body stretching forward, arms lazily draped, chin resting in the crook of her elbow, eyes slightly lifted, holding a dreamy smile, “Leave Rongcheng.”

Nan Jiaojiao paused her hand, looked up.

They sat in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, nestled in S-backed woven chairs, a long narrow table between them, with a green eustoma in the thin porcelain-necked vase on the table.

In the living room, only a warm lamp was lit, its light gradually weakening as it spread here.

Outside, lights twinkled everywhere, and atop the skyscraper stood a statue of a horse flying.

Chu Yao’s face, under changing lights, with bewitching eyes reflecting a thin glaze of light.

She was smiling.

Yet, it wasn’t quite a smile.

The red wine in her hand swirled around a few times, brought to her mouth.

She was too lazy to sit upright; tilting her head indolently, she sipped the wine with the cup pushed upward.

“Staying here feels pointless.

All major award ceremonies are in the capital city at the end of the year; I don’t want to keep traveling back and forth.”

Nan Jiaojiao turned her phone facedown on the table, “Are you the ambitious type?”

Chu Yao glanced at her, laughed self-deprecatingly, “No, I’m a naturally gifted player, heaven feeds me.”

She had no ambition, she simply dedicated herself to her work.

Never considered herself a celebrity, nor an artist; she was just an ordinary person working as an actor for a living.

“I don’t know the meaning each time I return to Rongcheng.

Here, I have no sense of belonging.”

Chu Yao sat up, “I’ve already bought a house in the capital, at Blue Moon Bay, new development, they say the plan is good, promising future prospects, quite lively around, expect to move there once my vacation is over.”

Nan Jiaojiao suddenly couldn’t care less about drinking.

She desperately wanted to ask sentimentally:

Isn’t there anyone worth staying for?

What about her?

What about Lu Zhenzhen?

What about Mo Tingshen?

But none of that was said, she just asked: “Are you sure?”

“Yes,” Chu Yao nodded, “I’m sure, it’s just a place to live, but it’s my own home, I can still fly everywhere, come back to see you, keep this home too, didn’t your little schoolmate have no place to stay?

Let her come over and watch the house when I’m not around.”

Nan Jiaojiao pursed her lips, “Wanting went to Capital Medical University.”

“Oh, really?” Chu Yao opened her mouth, not too surprised, “I heard about her situation; Yaen Chi helped a bit, didn’t he?”

“Mm.”

“That’s good.”

Nan Jiaojiao took a deep breath, “You go ahead, E.Y.

moved to the capital, Senior Brother made it the headquarters, maybe I’ll go to the capital too.”
