Chapter 57: Remarks

Chapter 57

Li Yao had never thought that Qin Wei would call Shen Kai "brother" one day.

Were they that intimate? Even when they were dating back then, Li Yao had never heard Qin Wei call him anything other than Shen Kai.

And they didn't even date for that long...

How could they become so intimate again after being apart for so long?

Could it be...?

Li Yao asked her:

"You're not still in contact with him, are you!?"

Qin Wei asked back:

"Should I be in contact with him?"

Her brain must really be damaged...

"Why don't you search for it..."

After saying that, Li Yao focused on driving and didn't say another word.

Qin Wei opened up the search engine and typed in "Shen Kai song".

She flipped through the results but only found a director with the same name but different surname, and a 58-year-old male professor of veterinary internal medicine at an agricultural college who had the exact same name.

"Probably not him..."

Qin Wei murmured to herself, envisioning the original owner dating the professor. She found it offensive to both parties.

"Ugh..."

Qin Wei shook her head, hoping these strange images would quickly leave her mind.

Could she be on the wrong track?

Qin Wei suddenly remembered that Shen Qingqing had worked with him before and spoke very highly of him. If she had searched for "Shen Qingqing" instead, she would have naturally found the actor Shen that she had worked with.

"Shen Qingqing, known for her work in Fire Line, starring: Shen Kai, Shen..."

Qin Wei realized why she couldn't find anything. His name was Shen Kai, and "brother" was just how Shen Qingqing addressed him.

"Shen Kai, huh..."

Qin Wei clicked her tongue, blaming herself for not looking into it more carefully earlier. That's why she made such an embarrassing mistake.

"I should pay more attention in my next life," she thought to herself.

"Remember now?"

Her phone buzzed with a WeChat message from someone:

[Changming: Is your injury serious?]

Who was this?

Qin Wei was confused and flipped through their chat history, but there was nothing.

This was the original owner's phone all along, everything was still on it, including chat history. Either the original owner had deleted things, or they simply never chatted.

Regardless of who it was, messaging with no greeting upfront meant it must be someone the original owner knew well.

She typed out "Who are you?" but hesitated before sending it and deleted the words without replying anything.

In her contacts list, everyone was listed by their full name and company, even Li Yao. Only this "Changming" was neither in a family group nor had a descriptive handle—it was a nickname given by the original owner.

Changming, meaning "river of stars".

These were the respective nicknames of the male and female leads in the TV drama Xia Yu that she had acted in. Plus, this person's WeChat ID was "kkshen1210"—birth date, nickname, last name, everything matched. It was Shen Kai for sure.

Xia Yu was the work that defined their relationship. So the contact name Shen Kai had for her was probably "Star River"!

They already broke up!! Why didn't the original owner block him!? At least change the contact name!! Could the original owner really be that lovesick!! You're broken up!! Qin Wei, get a grip!!!

"Ugh...inauspicious. I'll change it."

Qin Wei muttered to herself and then changed his contact name.

...

Half an hour had passed and Shen Kai's phone screen didn't light up once.

Silence. Just silence.

"Mr. Kai, we're starting!"

A crew member called out. Shen Kai had no choice but to put his phone down and go do his job first.

An hour went by.

"Cut! Great!"

They finished one take and Shen Kai came off set to rest. He hurriedly asked his assistant to bring him his phone and turned on the screen—nothing.

Shen Kai's brow furrowed as he opened WeChat. The account labeled "Star River" still hadn't replied to him.

He tapped in. His lone message sat at the top of the screen:

"Is your injury serious?"

It was only five words, but it had taken Shen Kai several days of effort!
