After Being Marked by a Powerful Love Rival

Chapters 31-40

Chapter 31 – Like it?

Gu Xingchuan made a few calls, but Song Yi didn't answer any of them, he only sent a message back saying that he was busy.

He didn't know what was going on with Gu Xingchuan, and he didn't want to bother finding out. He couldn't figure out his own affairs, and he had no inclination to argue with Gu Xingchuan.

When Song Yi returned home after taking a shower, he took out an album from the deepest part of the cabinet, and laid it on the bed, opening it very carefully. Inside of it was a group photo.

The photo was taken during a group outing in the first year of high school. It was spring; teenagers were grinning while Song Yi was the only one sitting on the lawn frowning as Shen Li sat beside him. At the moment the camera button clicked, he gently squeezed Song Yi's hand from behind.

It was a secret that only belonged to him and Shen Li.

At that time, his father was seriously ill. Their family's affairs were in a mess. The treatment required a lot of money. The amount exceeded what Song Yi could imagine for his age. Zhao Hongyan discussed with their relatives about giving up treatment and saving money for an orphan and widow's life. Song Yi vehemently disagreed, and this defiance caused Zhao Hongyan to hit him for the first time.

It was at this time that Shen Li offered him assistance and paid 50,000 yuan in medical expenses, which relieved the Song family's urgent need.

Although Song Yi's father left in the end, Song Yi always remembered Shen Li's goodness, of how he gave help when he desperately needed it. That was why he was willing to walk through fire for Shen Li.

Before that, Song Yi was only kind to Shen Li because of his appearance, a youth's nostalgia for the opposite sex. Since then, Shen Li became irreplaceable in Song Yi's heart. This feeling was mixed with gratitude and affection, and was exceptionally firm.

But time had moved on. During that moment when Shen Li kissed him today, there were no longer any waves or ripples in his heart, no more emotional highs and lows.

He always felt that he was rather serious about feelings. His like really meant like – it was concise and clear. If he doesn't like, then so be it. There was no hesitation, and he had always been doing well like this.

But whenever it came to Shen Li, the omega who had helped him out of danger, even though he had no feelings now, he still couldn't help taking care of him, only hoping that Shen Li would be happy.

It would take him some time to let Shen Li go and bid farewell to this unsuccessful relationship.

Song Yi's next studio has not yet been finalized. His former drama teacher threw an olive branch to him. This teacher was a leading figure in the drama industry, with many qualifications and great skills. He had brought up countless emperor-level and empress-level actors.

This time, it was a top actor training class organised by America. In order to be politically correct, it planned to recruit a few Chinese. His teacher happened to have a relationship with the people within and recommended a list of names, one of which had Song Yi's name.

In this kind of class, learning acting skills was just one aspect. More importantly, it was a very good opportunity to elevate one's status by establishing connections with producers and directors and expanding one's contacts.

Song Yi pleaded with his teacher to pay more attention to this training class; he was prepared to participate in the interview whenever and wherever it might be.

Then, it happened to be Song Yi's birthday. Few people knew about his birthday. When he was a child celebrating his birthday, he had to invite his classmates over to dinner. That time, he didn't have the money to spare and after he was older, he didn't place much emphasis on his own birthday when he grew up. Instead it was Song Jie who spent all his birthdays with him.
