Chapter 2031: Chapter 2031: Falling Out (Part 2)
So he can easily accept intimate scenes with other girls. Yang Tao herself also studied directing, so she naturally understands this. She is also trying her best to persuade herself to accept it, to separate work from personal life.
But... it’s really quite difficult.
When Ruan Lei started his first year at the film academy, a teacher introduced him to extra roles. As an extra, he only had a few lines and shots. At that time, she genuinely felt happy for him and prayed every day for him to get more roles.
But as he gradually gained fame and the roles he received became more significant, especially when there were any intimate scenes involved, her mindset began to change.
She still remembers the first time Ruan Lei took on a third male lead role. That character was the childhood sweetheart of the female lead. The two were about seventeen or eighteen under a crabapple tree, about to kiss. She was on set, watching them perform that scene, and her reaction was actually hoping Ruan Lei would mess it up! frёewebηovel.cѳm
She was quite startled by herself back then.
Afterwards, she did a lot of psychological work on herself, but by the second time, this mindset not only didn’t ease but worsened.
And along with this mindset came a sense of guilt.
Her smoking addiction started then, and as Ruan Lei’s success grew, so did her habit.
Later on, it developed into a situation where every time Ruan Lei got a role with such scenes, she would go through a struggle, sometimes even staying up all night, thinking it over to resolve her feelings with smoking. But no matter how much she agonized, she always managed to stay composed in the end.
But the last time, Ruan Lei took on a part with quite a bit of intimacy, and her already fragile psychological defenses completely collapsed.
Because, she felt she had discovered a possibility she absolutely couldn’t accept.
And this possibility made it impossible for her to wait for the storm to pass and then pretend like nothing had happened.
Yang Tao didn’t say much, but when Ruan Jiaojiao looked at her, she felt as if Yang Tao was really exhausted.
However, she still didn’t quite understand.
Ruan Lei and Yang Tao had been together for five years, and from memory, they always came through things like this together. Why suddenly was it not working?
"Jiaojiao, maybe I’m being a bit melodramatic, but I can’t accept being less important in his heart than acting," Yang Tao said, after extinguishing her cigarette in the basin, after a long pause.
After saying this, she stood up and walked to the bathroom faucet to wash her hands. ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com
Ruan Jiaojiao looked at her back, dumbfounded, as she was struck by her words.
By the time she came to her senses, Yang Tao had already left the bathroom. She chased after her, but only saw her disappearing back as she exited the dance hall.
The lighting in the dance hall was dim, while outside it was bright and clear. Ruan Jiaojiao watched her walking away, instinctively wanting to follow, but was stopped by someone coming out from the side.
"Jiaojiao, is your friend okay? Did she misunderstand something? Should I go explain? I was just sitting there; I didn’t mean anything. I didn’t know she would..." Hong Ling said apologetically, trying to go after Yang Tao to explain.
"Do you really not know?!" Ruan Jiaojiao, infuriated by her demeanor at this moment, grabbed her hand and pulled her back, angrily questioning, "You’ve been with us these past few days. We never hid anything when we talked, and we’ve mentioned Lei and Xiaotiao several times. You were right there every time! Are you deaf or blind?!"
