Chapter 384: Weight Loss Supervisor

During her undergraduate years, Du Yuanlei had a relations.h.i.+p with a boyfriend who was a high school cla.s.smate. At that time, she was still very naive, believing that falling in love with someone meant it would last forever. And indeed, that love was beautiful back then!

In her junior year, Du Yuanlei was busy with the filming of a doc.u.mentary project and had no time for romance. However, when she looked back, she found her boyfriend holding hands with another woman and entering a small hotel.

It was truly a coincidence, but it felt like a bolt from the blue, making her lose hope in love.

Naturally, this relations.h.i.+p ended with Du Yuanlei breaking up with him. Despite her ex-boyfriend crying and begging for forgiveness, Du Yuanlei remained indifferent. Only she knew that beneath her cold expression was a bleeding heart.

In order to forget him, Du Yuanlei even cut her long hair. From then on, she was known as the short-haired, makeup-free Senior Sister Du.

Later, during their senior year, her ex-boyfriend dated a few more girls, but none of the relations.h.i.+ps lasted. By graduation, he drunkenly came to Du Yuanlei to tell her that he still loved her!

But Du Yuanlei had already been deeply hurt by him, and she couldn’t forgive him.

Ironically, during the Spring Festival, Du Yuanlei learned from a high school friend that her ex-boyfriend, who had returned to his hometown to work as a civil servant, got married during the Spring Festival!

In just over half a year, he had started a new relations.h.i.+p with another woman and even got her pregnant, leading to a rushed marriage…

Upon hearing this news, Du Yuanlei felt inexplicably sad again.

She thought she had completely let go of this sc.u.mbag and moved on from the past! However, upon hearing about his marriage, Du Yuanlei still felt dazed for a few days, tears falling unexpectedly, and she lost her appet.i.te.

After going through all that, how could she not look haggard?

Now, as Du Yuanlei looked at the photo, seeing herself with long, flowing hair, it felt like a lifetime ago.

But then, Du Yuanlei’s eyes suddenly became determined. She took out a pair of scissors and, without hesitation, began to cut the photo into pieces, each fragment fluttering down like autumn leaves.

“A’liang… thank you for the good and bad memories. But I need to move forward now!” Du Yuanlei stared at the photo fragments on the table for a moment, then swept them into the trash can, saying, “Goodbye…”

Du Yuanlei got up and went to the bathroom to splash some cold water on her face. She decided she was going to get a good night’s sleep, and just like Yang Yi suggested, take a few days off to relax. Once she recovered, she would start her new film project as soon as possible!

Du Yuanlei walked away, leaving the desk lamp still on. Under the book that had held the photo was a thick stack of scripts. However, these weren’t from “Fairy Tale”; they were from the script she had written before the adaptation, “The Alley of Love”.

Guo Ziyi and Yang Yi had once asked Du Yuanlei why she had to write A’Guang’s death.

They didn’t know that A’Guang and the male lead who pursued Xu s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ were actually two beautiful aspects of Du Yuanlei’s ex-boyfriend, A’Liang.

The male lead represented the phase when A’Liang was earnestly pursuing Du Yuanlei, while A’Guang represented the most beautiful memories of A’Liang and Du Yuanglei’s time together.

A’Guang’s death signified Du Yuanlei’s desire for those memories to completely fade away, not wanting him to become the A’Liang she later despised.

As for the male lead, despite his sincere and persistent efforts to pursue Xu s.h.i.+s.h.i.+, Du Yuanlei knew that a man who seemed perfect during the pursuit would not cherish her once he succeeded…

So, Du Yuanlei would rather Xu s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ not accept him, to avoid repeating her own heartbreak.

Isn’t that way of thinking quite fascinating? That’s the essence of art!

Unfortunately, while Du Yuanlei excelled in art, she couldn’t write good stories. It was better for her to focus on being a director.

……

Meanwhile, after Yang Yi returned home, he also begun to get busy. He was preparing a romantic proposal for Mo Fei. Of course, Mo Fei had no idea when he planned to propose, but Yang Yi had already put it on his agenda

They had previously agreed that after Mo Fei returned from recording the ‘Zhi Xin Interview’ in Shanghai and before she began preparing for the company’s arranged concert, during this brief break, they would go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get their marriage license.

Yang Yi planned to propose the night before they went to the civil affairs bureau, which was the night Mo Fei returned from recording. Therefore, before that, Yang Yi needed to make all the necessary preparations and come up with a romantic proposal for Mo Fei.

However, for now, these preparations could only take place in his mind. To avoid arousing Mo Fei’s suspicion, Yang Yi decided not to purchase the necessary materials for the time being. He planned to take action once Mo Fei was away recording the program.

On this day, Yang Yi was wiping the counter in the coffee shop. The Street Corner’s Coffee Shop had been closed for two weeks, and it took Yang Yi a whole day just to clean it. Today, it finally reopened for business.

However, since the students hadn’t returned to school yet, there probably wouldn’t be many customers.

Yang Yi wiped the bar counter and coffee cups while smiling at his daughter, who was playing with the cats nearby.

Xixi wasn’t wearing as many clothes as she was in their hometown, because Jiangcheng was slightly warmer than Peijun. In addition, spring had already shown its presence, so the thick down jacket could be hung up.

Xixi was wearing a long-sleeved sweater. The sweater was pure pink on the top, and near her belly and the sleeves at the same level, it had a black base with white dots. In the middle, there was an elegant and cute white cat with a black bow, spanning the two color areas.

In the coffee shop, a sweater was warm enough without being too bulky, making the little girl look playful and cute.

“Xiao Guai, Duoduo, and Xiao Hui, come to big sister!” Xixi shook the cat teaser, playing with the three slightly chubby British Shorthairs.

Fortunately, they were only a bit chubby. In the warm coffee shop, they were still eager to move around. Enticed by the cotton ball at the end of the cat teaser, the three British Shorthairs took turns leaping off the ground and then landing back down.

Xixi blinked her big eyes. Determined to help Xiao Guai and the others to lose weight, she felt this amount of exercise wasn’t enough. So, she stood on her heels, took off her little shoes, and climbed onto the booth’s sofa seat. Her feet, clad in cartoon socks, made squeaking sounds as they pressed down on the sofa.

“Hehe, Xiao Guai, come up! Xiao Hui, Duoduo, you too!” Xixi found it fun to step on the sofa and laughed happily, waving the cat teaser.

The three British Shorthairs looked at their little master for a while. Finally, Xiao Guai, the most obedient one, jumped onto the sofa.

After all, from their size, the three six- or seven-month-old British Shorthairs were fully developed and almost the same size as adult cats, so jumping onto the sofa was a simple task for them.

Seeing Xiao Guai, who jumped up first, getting petted by the little master, Xiaohui and Duoduo also eagerly jumped up one after another.

“Oh no, wait a minute, I can’t stand anymore!” Xixi giggled and quickly stepped back.

“Hold steady, hold onto the back of the sofa, don’t fall!” Yang Yi found it amusing but still reminded her with some concerns.

At that moment, two people walked into the coffee shop.

They were familiar faces!
