Chapter 1733 - 1736: The Movie Queen's Charm Doesn't Work on Me
The stunning actress Song Weiyin stared with astonished eyes at the indifferent Shen Qiang, exclaiming, "I have no freedom. Whatever I want to do is controlled by them; isn't that tragic enough?"Shen Qiang chuckled, raising an eyebrow, "To wear the crown, you must bear its weight. Rules are everywhere—laws of the world, human sentiment, morality, even kindergartners have their rules when they play together. You are controlled by them, but then you dress lavishly as an actress, earn more than others, everyone loves you, and you're always surrounded by admirers—aren't you satisfied?"
Song Weiyin froze, staring at Shen Qiang for a long time before saying, "But I have to earn money for them for many years."
Shen Qiang laughed, saying, "Don't joke, okay? Don't you understand? It's a simple principle. They give you opportunities, help you become a flawless actress, and you help them earn money. You realize your dreams, they get money, and everyone is happy."
"It sounds perfect, but you've become arrogant. You think because you're an actress, your wings are strong enough to fly alone. You feel you're not free. Then they showed you a path, to trade me for your freedom, is that right?"
Song Weiyin froze for a moment, then nodded, saying, "Please help me."
Shen Qiang's gaze turned cold, his voice icy, "No help. There's no need to speak further. The people from Abyss have approached me once before. I refused to join then, and now that you've come to ask, my answer still won't change."
Song Weiyin remained stunned, then hurriedly said, "Shen Qiang, if you don't help me, I'll have to work for them for decades. This life of having no control, I've had enough!"
Shen Qiang laughed disdainfully, "What's your dream?"
Song Weiyin hesitated, "To become a superstar known by everyone."
"If you obtained the freedom you speak of, what would you do?" Shen Qiang raised an eyebrow and asked.
Song Weiyin froze, and after a long time, said, "Make the literary films I love most."
"Get out of here." Shen Qiang said coldly, "The so-called freedom you want is merely self-deception. You love being an actress, you love being a superstar, you love acting—this is your talent, this is your passion. So your plea for help seems like a joke to me."
Song Weiyin stayed dazed for a long time. That urgent feeling in her heart of wanting to escape Abyss had become very faint, and her mood had grown strange from Shen Qiang's words.
"If you want them to abandon you, there are many ways. Act like a diva, ruin your reputation, perform terribly. It wouldn't take years for you to become worthless. By then, asking those directors and producers, they won't even pay attention to you. And naturally, Abyss would find you of no use anymore, why would they still control you?" Shen Qiang said.
These words made Song Weiyin's delicate body tremble, her beautiful eyes shock-stricken.
"How could I possibly do such a thing?"
"Then stop deceiving yourself. So listen carefully: First, I haven't accepted your apology. Second, you might be very beautiful, but don't expect me to abandon everything and go to Hell for you—that's impossible."
"Third." Shen Qiang stood up, glanced at his watch, and said, "Time's up, goodbye."
Having said this, Shen Qiang turned and walked away, without any lingering attachment in his departing silhouette.
Song Weiyin's heart suddenly ached, then she urgently said, "Shen Qiang, it's not how you imagine it. I crave freedom, not because of what I want to do or what my dream is—it's simply because I don't want to be manipulated by others!"
These words caused Shen Qiang to stop but, after two seconds of silence, Shen Qiang didn't turn around and placidly waved his hand, saying, "It's all the same. No matter your excuse, I have no obligation to sacrifice myself for your ideas. Get out."
Having said this, Shen Qiang walked away without looking back.
Leaving behind Song Weiyin sitting on the bench, full of grievance and defiance.
"That bastard, not only is he unwilling to help me! He even scolded me…"
But in a flash, as she gazed at Shen Qiang's tall and strong back, her delicate face inexplicably reddened, then with shining eyes muttered, "But it's so strange, he seems so manly; his words are also very reasonable. Thinking about it carefully, it seems grandma really hasn't forced me to do anything except insist I take on that drama and not ruin my image with outrageous actions…"
Song Weiyin's beautiful eyes instantly became disoriented.
Meanwhile, not far away, several classmates who had snuck out to watch were already stupefied, their eyes vacant.
"Shen Qiang's temper is so volatile, talking to Song Weiyin with 'get out' on his lips all the time?"
"Is he going to defy the heavens or what?"
"My god, this is too unbelievable. Is Shen Qiang really so formidable? Scolding actress Song Weiyin like scolding a guide dog… no, like scolding a little girlfriend?"
They looked at each other, faces blank.
At this time, in the classroom.
Watching Shen Qiang return to class with a calm expression.
The many classmates looking at Shen Qiang no longer conveyed simple admiration.
"Shen Qiang is truly incredible, Song Weiyin talked to him? He knows such a high-profile celebrity? And what's more amazing, he actually returned to attend class? With such a beautiful woman present, why attend class?"
"Is Shen Qiang stupid? If I could go out with Song Weiyin, I wouldn't come back, not even if I had to act needy or playful—if I didn't stroll around the campus with her, how else would it be justified?"
"It's so unfair; we all hope for a chance to meet her, but this guy is not just reluctant, he even returned after a few minutes looking displeased."
"Sigh, can't compare, Shen Qiang's world is truly hard to understand."
People's expressions were uncanny, but the professor's gaze was bright as he said, "Hmm, that Shen Qiang, my daughter really likes Song Weiyin. When you have time, help me get an autograph from her?"
As everyone's eyes brightened, quietly praising the professor's cleverness, Shen Qiang looked at the professor in surprise, "Isn't your daughter just three years old? Already chasing stars at that age?"
The professor was instantly embarrassed but laughed heartily, saying, "We must cultivate this from a young age, you know how it is."
Shen Qiang chuckled softly, then with a cold gaze, said, "There might be a chance."
Having said this, Shen Qiang put on a look as if no one should talk to him, his gaze lost as he returned to his seat, absentmindedly doodling on his notebook.
Qingxuan, Song Weiyin, Abyss.
Qingxuan, Divine Corpse, Great Sea Demon, Sea Emperor, Divine Battle, blood…
The whole class, not only did the professor's lecture seem distracted, but including Shen Qiang, all the students listened absentmindedly. Until class ended, Shen Qiang stopped his scribbling, hesitated for a long time, then picked up the phone to call Ke Bizhu.
"Have Ji Wei prepare the car, you and Ye Guyun accompany me to Jin City."
