nEven if four years had passed, he still didn't have the courage to recollect the words she said that night.

nBut even so, he could clearly feel his raw heart start to ache at the thought of what happened that night.

nDid you know?

nIn the passing years, only once have I loved a person deeply.

nUnbeknownst to her, I have quietly, quietly come to her side.

n-

nMaybe it was because she was at He Jichen's house for too long that she ended up sleeping again when she got back to the dorm. The next day, Ji Yi was awake before it was even light out.

nShe was afraid to wake the others up in the dorm, so she laid in bed and played on her phone. Ji Yi opened Weibo, but before she could read the headlines, an older article grabbed her attention. It read,

"Casting for director Liang Wenxin's new movie has officially started

".

nJi Yi couldn't resist clenching her fingers tightly as her mind involuntarily wandered to the events of four years ago.

n...

nFour years ago, she returned a lot sooner to Beijing from Sucheng than planned because of He Jichen. Some good came from this as she bumped into a talent scout in the airport the very same day she arrived in Beijing.

nAt first, she thought he was a con artist, but one week later, the scout actually called her to invite her to a screen test.

nShe didn't have much to do that summer after college entrance exams, and since she liked to act so much that she wrote that she aspired to go to B-film on her college application, she didn't hesitate to agree to the screen test over the phone.

nAfter the screen test ended, Ji Yi went home. The next day, she got a call from the production team, telling her that she was chosen by the director for the role as the supporting actress for Infinite Grace .

nAnd so, she spent the first month of the semester on the production set.

nInfinite Grace was released around the country in November. Well-known directors, and the A-list male and female celebrity from this movie quickly became popular all over China.

nOf course, it was surprising for the supporting female actress to also gain fame.

nSomeone once said that her outstanding looks only came once every ten years. Another said that a natural talent for acting was in her bones, and every frown and smile of hers could be considered acting. The next screen queen of the entertainment industry was going to be the legendary Ji Yi.

nIn short, she became an overnight sensation. By the end of November, she was invited to be the female lead for a big production historical drama titled The Queens.

nIn April of the second year, The Queens became a popular show. As the female lead, she became the focus of millions of people's attention. Commercials, endorsements, television dramas... the offers came pouring in one after the other. She was even approached by investment companies who wanted to invest in an office for her...

nAt the time, her future really was limitless, her name was honourable, and her career was a success.

nBut just as she finished negotiations for an office of her own, finally established a name for herself and signed on to a new film, she suddenly got into a car accident, which made her slip into a three-year-long coma.

nAt the time, although she was still hot on the scene, she had only just entered the entertainment industry and hadn't quite found her feet. What's more, the industry was not short of newcomers.

nSo, the unbound glory of her past disappeared without a trace, like dispersed clouds during her deep slumber. Ji Yi, an entertainment industry legend, suddenly vanished off the radar.

nAfter she woke up, the only road she could continue to walk down was the path back to school to continue her years in university.

n...

nAt that thought, Ji Yi blinked gently. In the past half year, she had been waiting for an opportunity, an opportunity to make a comeback in the entertainment industry. She thought this might be her chance.

nLiang Wenxin was Infinite Grace's director. She had his contact info on her phone, but after three years, he would've probably forgotten about her by now. She was afraid that if she called him out of the blue, he wouldn't even want to talk to her.

nJi Yi was deep in thought for a moment, then she flipped through her timetable and saw that she didn't have any classes in the afternoon. She decided to take a personal trip to Director Liang's office.
