Chapter 475: Chapter 475 Strive to be Excellent_1

"By the way, how’s your Huo Qilin?" Xia Qingtian asked Cheng Bingbing in a gossipy tone, "When you went to deliver his medicine and show concern for him, did he appreciate it?"

After speaking, she winked at Cheng Bingbing.

Upon hearing Huo Qilin’s name, the previously dejected Cheng Bingbing’s eyes suddenly brightened.

Xia Qingtian astutely noticed a blush blooming on her fair face, and immediately asked, "Has there been any progress between you and Huo Qilin?"

"No." Cheng Bingbing shook her head in denial.

"If there isn’t, why are you blushing?" Xia Qingtian was somewhat puzzled.

Cheng Bingbing’s mind flashed back to the events that occured in Huo Qilin’s room during the day, causing her face to flush even hotter.

However, she did not disclose these things and reiterated, "Nothing really happened between us."

"That’s a pity then," Xia Qingtian sighed.

Suddenly, Cheng Bingbing thought of something, her bright eyes immediately dimmed, "There’s nothing to regret. I’m just not good enough for him."

She couldn’t help but displayed a self-deprecating smile.

Xia Qingtian, hearing this, looked at her in surprise, "Why would you think that way? You’re so beautiful and kind. Anyone you desire, there isn’t anyone unworthy of you in this world."

Cheng Bingbing’s eyes reddened, she bitterly said, "But, I’m now a wilted flower..."

"Shut up!" Xia Qingtian knew what she was going to say, she sternly interrupted, "Cheng Bingbing, who told you a woman’s worth is tied to her chastity?"

"To judge whether a woman is good or not, you look at her achievements. Who says a woman is unsuitable or dirty if she’s not a virgin?"

"The Qing Dynasty has been gone for hundreds of years. Why as a woman of the new era, would you have such a thought? It breaks my heart that you went through those things at the Hua Chicken Award not because you slept with someone, but because it was against your will, and because it could leave you traumatized."

Cheng Bingbing’s eyes gleamed slightly, "Really?"

"Of course it’s true." Xia Qingtian looked at her earnestly, "You may feel inferior, but it’s not because of what you’ve gone through."

Cheng Bingbing pursed her lips and lowered her head without a word.

Xia Qingtian didn’t let her avoid it, she grabbed her chin, forcing her to look straight into her eyes, asking seriously, "Do you still like Huo Qilin and want to be with him?"

"Yes," Cheng Bingbing’s response was immediate, but she faltered, "but, I’m really not worthy..."

"That’s enough." Xia Qingtian preempted any mention of unworthiness with Huo Qilin and said, "If you feel inferior then work hard."

"If you feel your fame doesn’t match his, then focus on acting. You’re already the female lead in Director Zhao’s film, in the future, you could easily win the Best Actress award."

"If you think your economic status doesn’t match his, then work hard to make money. You’re in a profitable industry, it’s not just about tricks and schemes, it’s also about wealth."

"The money you get from one film is more than a regular person can earn in a lifetime. You can pursue anything you want, why restrict yourself?"

"As long as you desire, you can become famous and wealthy in the entertainment circle. Your worthiness only depends on whether you like it, there’s no issue of suitability."

There’s no denying that Xia Qingtian is extremely persuasive.

Listening to her words, Cheng Bingbing can’t help but be enticed, "Is what you’re saying true?"

"You’re someone capable of making her own judgments, whether it’s true or not, just think about it yourself." Xia Qingtian’s voice was resolute.

Cheng Bingbing didn’t respond immediately, nor did she continue to urge her.

She knew that Cheng Bingbing needed time to digest her words, and to rebuild her collapsing faith, bit by bit.

Xia Qingtian stayed with Cheng Bingbing for the entire night.

Later, she dozed off on the balcony.

She didn’t know how long she’d slept, but when the first ray of sunlight touched her face, she woke with a start. Shielding her eyes from the sunlight, she instinctively searched for Cheng Bingbing.

She spotted her soon after.

Cheng Bingbing was standing on the balcony, leaning against the railing, staring blankly at the sun in the sky.

Xia Qingtian wanted to get up, but felt sore all over due to the uncomfortable sleeping position.

She couldn’t help but groan, "Oh, it hurts."

She felt as if her bones had shifted.

"Qingtian, you’re awake?" Hearing the groan, Cheng Bingbing turned to look at her.

Xia Qingtian, seeing the dark circles under her eyes, asked in surprise. "Don’t tell me you stayed up all night."

"Yes." Cheng Bingbing didn’t deny it.

She turned her face back and let the sunlight shine on her face, "I spent the whole night thinking about what you said and I couldn’t wrap my head around it."

"It wasn’t until the sun rose that it hit me. I can’t continue to be dejected. I can’t let this small obstacle defeat me. I’ll try hard to forget about that night and start anew."

"Qingtian, let’s give our best together."

In the end, she opened her eyes wide, her eyes shining brighter than the morning sun, full of hope.

Ignoring the pain in her body, Xia Qingtian got up and gave Cheng Bingbing a genuine smile, "Sure, as long as you’re willing, I’ll be there to help you attain the glory you want in the entertainment industry."

"Alright." Cheng Bingbing couldn’t resist giving her a hug.

Xia Qingtian couldn’t help but remind her, "Though, you must know that if you want to have a foothold in the entertainment industry, you’ll need to interact with a lot of people."

Cheng Bingbing’s body stiffened momentarily, but she bravely said, "I’ll try to adapt."

She quietly told herself that she will work hard to become someone who deserves Huo Qilin, someone who can stand shoulder to shoulder with him.

...

Xia Qingtian and Bo Jingyan packed up their things, had their last meal in the scenic area, and boarded the vehicle back to the city area.

Even though Cheng Bingbing hadn’t slept, she looked a bit weary but high-spirited.
