Having tidied herself up, it was precisely 7:30 when Gu Lan'an thought of her habit from her past life of arriving half an hour early for any program. She took brisk steps to the door, extending her hand to push it open on both sides, and gracefully walked out with a faint smile.

The crowd, who were just outside the door chatting animatedly moments ago, all stopped simultaneously as he walked out. Astonishment, surprise, envy, and disgust gathered in the gazes focused on Gu Lan'an's overly beautiful face, yet he felt no joy at all. If it were in his past life, being treated this way would surely bring him boundless excitement. But now, he could only find it laughable. How long can something obtained through a pretty face last? And how much value does it truly hold?

"Hey, who's that? They look so beautiful." Someone asked, igniting a heated discussion and sparking numerous speculations. However, no one even considered the possibility that it could be Gu Lan'an. Gu Lan'an subtly raised the corners of his mouth, forming a mocking curve. He had been with them for eight months, yet they treated him as if he was invisible. The only person who paid attention to him was someone who was jealous and wanted to suppress him.

Zhaoye has always been kind to me. Since the moment I met him, he not only never despised me but has always been wholeheartedly kind to me. With a sigh in my heart, Gu Lanan quickened her pace, thinking about soon meeting Zhaoye, her expression gradually softening.

In accordance with his development from his previous life, he was supposed to meet Zhao Ye at the awards ceremony. However, he couldn't wait until that time and was eager to see him.

Without the help of memory, Gu Lan'an could only rely on what he had heard about Zhao Ye in the past to guess where he might be now. Although they hadn't met in their previous lives, Gu Lan'an had some understanding of what had happened to Zhao Ye during that time, because it was an extremely shocking event—Zhao Ye's mother had killed his father and was sent to prison. Coupled with Zhao Ye's identity as the king of the entertainment industry, this incident became headline news for a long time, causing a sensation throughout the entertainment industry.

Tomorrow Star Wang, after taking a long break from the Night of the Stars, is participating in his first show as a friendly gesture. At this moment, his emotions are mostly in a low state. And the place he is in now should be the empty windowsill where he often stays when he is feeling down.

Suspecting that Zhaoye might be there, Gulan An walked around several windows with fewer people and finally, in a corner, Gulan An saw Zhaoye standing by the window, gazing blankly outside. He didn't know how to describe his current emotions -- excitement, guilt, grievance, longing -- all mixed together and turned into an indescribable bitterness.

Suddenly feeling a fiery gaze, Zhao Ye turned around with a cold expression, only to see a very handsome boy standing not far away, looking at him. The look on his face was extremely complex, a mix of happiness and something else that couldn't be quite defined. Tears continued to stream down his wide-open eyes.

Zhaoye's brows slightly furrowed, thinking that the person must have come here to hide and cry. Just as they were about to step aside, they heard the person hoarsely call out to them with an extremely affectionate voice.

Zhao Ye," silently watching Zhao Ye turn around, his gaze sweeping over his entire body. Gu Lan'an couldn't help but call out to him. Seeing his confused expression, Gu Lan'an sniffled weakly and quickly walked up to him, tightly embracing him.

"Let go." Zhao Ye stiffened in his embrace and immediately spoke with disgust. Due to being abused by his parents since childhood, he had always had an extreme aversion to being touched by others. Although he couldn't avoid physical contact while filming, he absolutely couldn't tolerate anyone touching him off set.
