Shen Huai: "..."
Chu Meibo was already somewhat unconventional, and with her fans opening up a whole new world for her, she has become increasingly bold and outspoken in her speech and actions lately.
Shen Huai's expression was indescribable. He wanted to refute Ye Cang's idea that it wasn't as lewd and violent as Chu Meibo thought, but he was also afraid that if he really refuted it, Chu Meibo would say something even more shocking.
If this were any other celebrity, Shen Huai would have made her and her assistant go back to reflect on their actions, but Sister Mei…
Well, I really don't have any right to lecture others.
Shen Huai silently endured it.
However, Chu Meibo's words made him seriously consider his current relationship with Ye Cang.
Shen Huai has never been someone who prioritizes emotions above all else, and he believes Ye Cang is the same. That's why he distanced himself from Ye Cang back then, thinking that he would back down when things got tough. Although it was a bit of a pity, at least neither of their careers would be affected.
However, Ye Cang never gave up.
Shen Huai inevitably wavered.
Shen Huai didn't consider himself an indecisive person, yet when it came to his relationship with Ye Cang, he couldn't bring himself to take that step. Perhaps, the more he cared, the more lost he felt.

After registering, Chu Meibo had to go back to continue filming. The crew had changed the filming location, and she had to fly there. Coincidentally, Ye Cang was also going to the same location, so they simply bought tickets for the same flight.
However, once on the plane, Ye Cang discovered that Shen Huai was not sitting in the same row as him, but instead sitting with Chu Meibo.
Ye Cang recalled the last time Shen Huai took Chu Meibo to register, and he seemed a bit off after they came back. His attitude towards him was also strange in the following days, and now he had chosen a seat farthest away from him.
Ye Cang's heart ached.
He kept an uneasy eye on the back seat, and when Shen Huai left his seat to go to the restroom, he immediately stood up and sat in Shen Huai's seat.
Chu Meibo had been resting with her eyes closed, but opened them after hearing the noise. When she saw Ye Cang, she raised an eyebrow but did not show any surprise.
Ye Cang lowered his voice and asked, "Sister Mei, what did you and A-Huai talk about when A-Huai accompanied you to register last time?"
Chu Meibo smiled and said, "Oh? Finally, you can't hold back anymore?"
Ye Cang: "..."
Seeing this, Chu Meibo stopped teasing and said, "I just talked to him about relationship issues."
Ye Cang tensed up instantly: "Did he say anything?"
Chu Meibo rested her chin on one hand, her eyes darting around, and suddenly asked, "Before I answer your question, I'd like to ask you one first."
"you say."
Chu Meibo: "You should know that the social atmosphere in China is not very open-minded right now. If you two are together and the outside world finds out, it will have a huge impact on you, and may even ruin your current career. So, do you still want to be with him?"
Shen Huai walked over and happened to hear those words, so he immediately stopped in his tracks.
Ye Cang, who was facing Chu Meibo, did not see him and was puzzled by his words: "If my career is ruined, it means I will never be able to write songs again. What does that have to do with me being with A-Huai?"
Shen Huai was deeply shocked and almost subconsciously took a step forward.
Chu Meibo actually asked Ye Cang that question because she saw Shen Huaichao walking over. In her opinion, the two men clearly had feelings for each other, but they were hesitating and didn't seem to care about anything, which made her, as an observer, anxious.
Shen Huai hadn't said anything before, but Chu Meibo had vaguely guessed the reason from his expression, which is why she took the opportunity to ask Ye Cang.
Noticing that Ye Cang was about to look back, Chu Meibo immediately pressed, "But what if you can never step onto the stage again? Won't you feel resentful?"
Chu Meibo knew very well that Ye Cang and she were the same kind of people. If it weren't for their dedication to their pursuits, they wouldn't have lingered in the world for so many years. Perhaps Shen Huai also knew this, which was why he dared not gamble his feelings on this obsession.
Unexpectedly, after Chu Meibo finished speaking, Ye Cang laughed instead: "Are you worried that I will resent A-Huai in the future?"
Chu Meibo didn't speak, but simply raised an eyebrow to show that she did indeed think so.
Ye Cang let out a soft breath, his voice low but firm: "If I hadn't thought these things through, I wouldn't have provoked him. I'm a stubborn person. If I liked singing back then, I'd sing for the rest of my life. If I like him now, I'll like him for the rest of my life too."
After that, Shen Huai could no longer hear what the two of them said.
He retreated behind the curtain, clutching his chest in a daze, his heart pounding so loudly he couldn't ignore it. It was as if all other sounds had vanished, leaving only Ye Cang's words echoing in his ears.
It wasn't until a flight attendant nearby reminded him, "Sir, are you feeling unwell? Would you like me to help you back to your seat?"
Shen Huai then came to his senses, declined the other party's help, and returned to his seat.
Ye Cang had already returned to his seat. Shen Huai gave him a complicated look before sitting down again.
Chu Meibo turned her head to the side and placed the iPad in her hand in front of him.
The memo above has three words written on it.
--You're welcome.
Shen Huai: "..."
Having successfully completed his mission, Chu Meibo withdrew his hand, concealing his achievements and fame, and continued to rest with his eyes closed.

After getting off the plane, Chu Meibo took Tong Yun back to the film set to shoot, while Shen Huai and his men accompanied Ye Cang to the event.
As soon as they exited the airport, they were greeted by a sea of green. Many fans held up banners and support signs, waiting for Ye Cang. As soon as they appeared, the scene erupted in loud screams.
"Aaaaaaah!! Cangcang!!"
