Chapter 75 – Extra 1
A certain online forum.
A hot post was at the top, with over a hundred replies.
The title of the post was:
[Does anyone know who the girl in this ad is?]
The post was accompanied by two photos from a TV commercial.
It was a very popular shower gel ad recently. A glamorous woman was smiling at the screen, surrounded by water vapor. Although nothing was revealed, just her fair, slender neck was enough to make one’s imagination run wild.
[OP]: Is the girl in this ad in the industry? She’s so hot! And her figure is so good! Any friends with information, come out and tell us.
[First Floor]: Don’t know her, but I’ve seen the ad. Her figure is really top-notch.
[Second Floor]: Same as above. Also asking for info.
[Third Floor]: Ah, have you guys not seen her films?
[OP] replies: What? She’s made films? Are they the kind of films I’m thinking of?
Replies to [OP]: She’s not fully nude, but it’s a Category III film. Maybe she’s filmed nude scenes, but the resources just haven’t been found. In that film, she’s not like in the ad. She’s super slutty…
…
Ye Qingnan looked at this most-liked comment, her brow furrowed tightly, and it didn’t relax for a long time.
It wasn’t the first time she had seen it.
But every time, she would tell herself, what do the words of irrelevant people have to do with her? These people don’t understand her, so why get angry?
Although she thought so, every time she saw it again, her heart still couldn’t remain completely calm.
She really wanted to explain under all these comments, but what was the use?
It’s not like she hadn’t done it. Would anyone believe her?
Ye Qingnan was only twenty-five this year, an age of blooming like a flower. But she couldn’t feel a single bit of the beauty that this age should enjoy.
At the age of eighteen, she had taken on the filming of a Category III film, but she hadn’t expected that it would bring such a huge change to her life now, and even in the future.
Ye Qingnan’s parents had passed away early. She had always relied on her uncle’s family for support to grow up. She also had a younger sister, three years her junior, named Ye Lan.
Although her uncle’s family was well-off, at the age of eighteen, her uncle suddenly fell seriously ill and was hospitalized. Most of the funds were used for medical expenses, leaving little for the sisters.
And Ye Lan was about to enter high school, and the tuition was another large sum of money.
Her uncle’s family had already helped them enough. Ye Qingnan was too embarrassed to ask for more money, but her sister’s expenses had to be paid. Just as she was in a difficult situation, Ye Qingnan was approached by a talent scout.
Ye Qingnan had been beautiful since she was a child, especially her pair of almond-shaped eyes, which seemed to be smiling at all times. On her cold and glamorous face, they added even more charm.
The talent scout was also attracted to her for this reason.
He told Ye Qingnan that they were recruiting actors, but the film they were shooting was a Category III film. Although she wouldn’t have to be fully nude and her private parts would be protected, the films were all of the erotic type.
Ye Qingnan was aware of this. After some thought, she still agreed.
One reason was that the pay for filming a movie was very substantial, which could solve their immediate financial problems. The second was that she had also had a yearning for the acting profession since she was a child.
She believed that even as an actress in erotic films, as long as she was not vulgar or explicit, she was still a proper actress.
Soon, she filmed her first movie. The number of views exceeded expectations. And so, there were two, three…
In these few years, as she filmed more and more movies, her fame in the industry also slowly grew, and some small commercials began to approach her.
She had thought there would be a new change, but what Ye Qingnan hadn’t expected was that things began to deviate from her imagination.
After a newspaper published about the films she had previously shot, people began to dig into her past, discovering that she had filmed a considerable number of films of the same type.
Some bad words began to surround her.
Slut…
Filming so many, is her desire very strong…
You can tell at a glance that she’s been f*ed by many people…
Ye Qingnan was completely powerless to argue. She had never let anyone touch her body. During filming, many scenes were edited. It was not at all like what those people said…
Ye Qingnan leaned back on the sofa, exhausted, letting her whole body sink into it.
She wanted to escape her current situation, but she didn’t know what to do.
Just as she was having a headache, the main door was opened, and someone came in.
Ye Lan walked up to her with a strange woman.
Seeing that a guest had arrived, Ye Qingnan also hid her emotions and stood up, smiling at Ye Lan. “Lanlan, this is?”
“Oh, let me introduce you. This is my good friend, Jiang Nuo.”
Ye Lan had a bright smile on her face. When she turned to look at Jiang Nuo, her tone suddenly became gentle.
“Jiang Nuo, this is my sister, Ye Qingnan.”
Ye Qingnan smiled and nodded at Jiang Nuo, lightly sizing up her sister’s friend.
Jiang Nuo was dressed simply, wearing a pair of rimless glasses, with a refined face. She looked to be about the same age as Ye Lan, but her presence was very mature.
The look of an elite.
“Hello,” Ye Qingnan smiled at her.
Jiang Nuo was stunned for two seconds before she concealed the amazement in her eyes and returned a smile.
“Hello, Big Sis.”
Seeing the two of them get acquainted, Ye Lan was very pleased.
Recently, her sister had often been frustrated by those things. Bringing Jiang Nuo over to chat with her was also a good way to keep her from thinking about her troubles.
Most importantly, she and Jiang Nuo had known each other for many years and had long since silently fallen for this person. It was a pity that this person was completely clueless. Now, bringing her to meet her family was also a step closer to her.
That night, the three of them sat around the dinner table, eating and chatting.
Ye Qingnan said with an embarrassed smile, “I’m sorry, Xiao Nuo. I didn’t know you were coming, so I didn’t buy many groceries. I just made some simple dishes.”
“Tell me what you like to eat. Next time you come, I’ll definitely make it for you.”
Jiang Nuo waved her hand. “No trouble. I can’t eat too much at night anyway. And these few dishes are also very delicious.”
She wasn’t being polite. Although they were just two home-cooked dishes, Ye Qingnan’s cooking skills were very good, with excellent color, aroma, and taste.
Ye Lan: “It was also me who brought her over so suddenly. Our school is on break these few days, but Jiang Nuo didn’t manage to get a ticket. It’s boring for her to stay in the dorm alone, so I brought her here.”
Ye Qingnan: “It’s fine, it’s fine. Just make yourself at home here. There’s also a spare room. Xiao Nuo can stay here for a few days.”
This house was her uncle’s old house. When Ye Qingnan was in her teens, her uncle’s family had moved to a new house. Since then, the two sisters had been living here.
They were so enthusiastic that Jiang Nuo couldn’t refuse anymore. She nodded in agreement and thanked them again.
Halfway through the meal, she suddenly looked at Ye Qingnan. She finally knew why she looked somewhat familiar.
Noticing Jiang Nuo’s gaze, Ye Qingnan smiled and asked, “What’s wrong?”
“Sister Qingnan, I think I’ve seen you in…”
Before she could finish, Ye Qingnan’s face stiffened. Faced with Jiang Nuo’s curious gaze, all she could do was force a smile.
Ye Lan also realized something and secretly nudged Jiang Nuo.
Jiang Nuo looked at her, confused, then finished her sentence.
“That shower gel ad, did you film it?”
Hearing this, Ye Qingnan breathed a sigh of relief, and a gentle smile bloomed again.
“I did. I didn’t think you’d recognize me.”
“Of course,” Jiang Nuo replied without thinking.
“You look much better than on TV.”
.
Late at night, after Ye Qingnan had tidied up the spare room for Jiang Nuo, she went to rest.
After washing up, Jiang Nuo was about to go back to her room when she was pulled by Ye Lan and brought back to her bedroom, the door closed.
Jiang Nuo looked at her, completely baffled. “What are you doing?”
“I have something to tell you.”
Ye Lan’s expression was very serious, which made Jiang Nuo’s heart feel a little nervous.
“What is it?”
“You… try to talk less to my sister about what’s on TV… what she’s filmed…”
Jiang Nuo was confused. “Why?”
Ye Lan sighed lightly, crossed her arms, and leaned against the door, looking at her.
“Do you know what my sister debuted in?”
“I don’t know. I’ve only seen that ad. That ad is on all the time.”
“She used to…” Ye Lan’s voice grew smaller. “…film Category III films.”
Jiang Nuo was stunned for a few seconds before she came back to her senses, a little surprised. “Huh?”
Fearing she would misunderstand, Ye Lan quickly explained, “It’s not that kind… although the scale is not small, it still has artistic elements. It’s just an erotic film.”
“But because of this ad, many people got to know her, but they just have to bring up the films she shot before.”
“Those people’s words are very nasty. My sister has never even had a boyfriend. How could she be that kind of person?”
Ye Lan’s tone also became helpless. “She’s been in a bad mood recently because of this, so just try not to mention this aspect…”
After listening to Ye Lan’s words, Jiang Nuo returned to her room thoughtfully.
She opened a forum and took a look. Sure enough, there were many posts about Ye Qingnan. Some of the words were simply unbearable to look at.
Jiang Nuo sighed in her heart. After getting along with her tonight, she felt that Ye Qingnan was a very gentle person, very cheerful on the outside. She hadn’t expected her to be under such pressure.
.
Perhaps because she wasn’t used to the bed, Jiang Nuo didn’t sleep well. Tossing and turning, she still hadn’t fallen asleep.
Her mouth was a little dry. Jiang Nuo got up and went to the living room to get a drink of water.
She was afraid of waking others, so she was even careful when opening the door, not making a sound.
Just as she walked out, she saw a person standing on the balcony of the living room.
In the moonlight, Jiang Nuo could see that it was the back of a woman, still wearing pajamas.
Her curiosity was piqued. She didn’t want to drink water anymore. Jiang Nuo tiptoed over.
When she reached Ye Qingnan’s side, Ye Qingnan was startled by her.
Jiang Nuo stared at the cigarette between Ye Qingnan’s fingers. The cigarette was already half-smoked, the smoke still swirling out the window with the wind.
Feeling that she had lost her image, Ye Qingnan gave an awkward smile and was about to put out the cigarette butt.
“Do you have any more? I’ll have one too.”
“Mhm?” Ye Qingnan looked at her with some surprise.
Jiang Nuo turned her gaze to the scenery outside the window, took a deep breath, and then looked at her again.
“I also often smoke on the balcony of my dorm at night, when I’m very frustrated.”
Ye Qingnan smiled and took a cigarette from the box, lighting it for her.
“You’re still young. You might have even more troubles in the future. You have to learn to regulate your own emotions. You can’t rely on these things. Smoking too much is bad for your health.”
Hearing this, Jiang Nuo raised an eyebrow and retorted with some defiance, “Aren’t you the same?”
“Some things, if you can handle them yourself, you handle them. But some things, you just don’t know how to solve.”
Ye Qingnan looked at her profile. Though her features still had a youthful innocence, her words seemed more mature than her own.
“That’s right. If you can’t find a solution, what can you do?” Ye Qingnan sighed with great agreement.
What can I do? What can she do?
“Scrambled eggs with cold dressing.”
Ye Qingnan was taken aback. She caught a glimpse of the corner of Jiang Nuo’s mouth curving up.
She’s being serious here, and this child is joking with her.
Jiang Nuo looked back at her, her smile under the moonlight very clean and moving.
For a moment, Ye Qingnan felt her heart skip a beat.
She heard Jiang Nuo say, “It will be resolved one day, even if it’s not now.”
“Time will bring the best answer.”
But Ye Qingnan gave a bitter smile, as if in self-mockery and also in doubt. “Will it?”
“It will. It definitely will.”
Jiang Nuo moved closer to her, staring into her eyes. Ye Qingnan was a little flustered by this sudden eye contact.
As the eye contact lengthened, even the atmosphere between them changed subtly. Ye Qingnan’s eyes darted away uncomfortably.
Suddenly, she heard Jiang Nuo’s suppressed laughter beside her. Even her body, leaning against her, was trembling.
Ye Qingnan felt strange and poked her. “What are you laughing at?”
Jiang Nuo didn’t know what she was laughing at either. She just felt that in that eye contact just now, her heart had inexplicably become happy. Originally, it was just the corners of her mouth turning up, but then she gradually couldn’t suppress it.
She shook her head, but her smile didn’t diminish, in fact, it threatened to turn into a laugh.
Ye Qingnan was even more baffled, but seeing Jiang Nuo laugh so happily, she also began to laugh.
She lightly punched Jiang Nuo’s back and pouted, “What on earth are you laughing at?”
But to her surprise, Jiang Nuo laughed even harder. Ye Qingnan bit her lip, smiling, and punched her a few more times.
In the end, her frustrated thoughts were also cast aside by Ye Qingnan.
On the balcony at night, they leaned shoulder to shoulder, like children playing, and began to giggle foolishly together.
