The Kitty Became a Cutie and Was Pampered in the 80s

Chapter 2032: Chapter 2032: Falling Out (Part 3)

So he can easily accept intimate scenes with other girls, and since Yang Tao also studied directing, she naturally understands this. She is also trying hard to persuade herself to differentiate between on-screen and off-screen.

But... it’s really a bit difficult.

When Ruan Lei entered the film academy in his first year, there were teachers recommending him for bit parts. During those times, he usually only had a few lines or scenes. At that time, she genuinely felt happy for him and prayed every day that he could get more roles.

However, as he gradually became more well-known and started getting more significant roles, especially when there were intimate scenes, her mindset began to change. ƒreewebηoveℓ.com

She still remembers when Ruan Lei first got the role of a third male lead, who was the childhood friend of the female lead. When they were seventeen or eighteen, they had a scene where they were supposed to kiss under the crabapple flowers. She was on set then, watching them perform the scene, and to her surprise, she hoped Ruan Lei would mess it up!

She was taken aback by her own reaction at the time.

Afterward, she worked on her mindset a lot, but by the second time, this feeling didn’t lessen; instead, it became more intense. freewёbnoνel.com

This mindset also led to a sense of guilt.

It was around that time that she picked up smoking, and it only became more severe as Ruan Lei’s success grew.

Later, it directly developed into a struggle every time Ruan Lei took on such roles. She would agonize over it, sometimes staying up all night, smoking as she tried to think it through. But no matter how much she suffered, in the end, she could always hold it together.

But the last time, Ruan Lei took on a role that was a bit too revealing, causing her already fragile mental defense to completely collapse.

Because she felt she discovered a possibility that she simply could not accept.

This possibility made it impossible for her to just pretend nothing happened after causing a scene and continue on.

Yang Tao didn’t say much, but Ruan Jiaojiao, looking at her, felt as if she was genuinely very, very tired.

Still, she didn’t quite understand.

Ruan Lei and Yang Tao had been together for five years. She remembered they had always gotten through these things, so why wasn’t it working suddenly?

"Jiaojiao, maybe I’m being a bit sentimental, but I can’t accept that in his heart, acting is more important than me." After a long silence, Yang Tao, having snuffed her cigarette butt in the basin, said.

After saying this, she stood up and walked to the sink to wash her hands.

Ruan Jiaojiao stood there dumbfounded, stunned by her words.

By the time she came to her senses, Yang Tao had already left the restroom. She chased after her again, only to see her back as she exited the ballroom.

The lighting inside the ballroom was dim, but outside it was bright and clear. Watching her leave, Ruan Jiaojiao instinctively wanted to follow, but was stopped by someone beside her.

"Jiaojiao, is your friend okay? Did she misunderstand something? Do you want me to go explain? I was just sitting there, I didn’t mean anything else, I didn’t know she would..." Hong Ling seemed a bit apologetic as she spoke, ready to chase after and explain.

"Do you really not know?!" Ruan Jiaojiao, seeing her putting on this act at such a time, was so angry she couldn’t stand it. She grabbed Hong Ling’s hand and yanked her back, asking angrily, "You’ve been with us every day these days, we’ve said everything in front of you, and not just once mentioned my brother Lei and Tao. You’ve always been there! Are you blind or deaf?!"
