Chapter 156: Chapter 156: Laugh Again and I’ll Bite You (4)

Just because he didn’t say it, it didn’t mean Su Yanyi didn’t know that making a name in the entertainment industry likely came at a cost that was beyond most people’s imagination.

"It must have been very hard, right?" Su Yanyi asked, her gaze softening considerably as she looked at Qin Jiran. She had always known that this man was incredibly hardworking, otherwise where would his admirable acting skills have come from? And it wasn’t only his acting, but other aspects of his career as well. They served not only to prove Qin Jiran’s success but also to underscore the effort he had put in. After all, there are no gains without pains.

Qin Jiran hadn’t expected Su Yanyi to be so perceptive to feel that from just one sentence he uttered. He was deeply touched, and slightly shaking his head he said, "It’s not hard, but very worthwhile."

Efforts naturally lead to rewards. He had chosen this path and had given so much—not only had it earned him an unparalleled position and achievements in the show business today, but it had also brought him to Yanyi’s side. Just that latter fact alone was enough to make him feel that all the effort was worthwhile. Even if the effort had been a thousand times greater, it would still have been worth it!

Su Yanyi didn’t know what was going on in Qin Jiran’s mind, but she agreed with his words nevertheless. Hardships were indeed worthwhile. Without effort, how could there be any reward? She herself had also given much to reach where she was today.

From a young age, Su Yanyi had been learning various skills from different people. If it had only been book knowledge, it might have been simpler because Su Yanyi was certainly intelligent enough, but Su family members started learning various martial arts techniques at a very young age. It was incredibly hard; the training content was definitely not inferior to that of special forces, although the intensity could be relaxed occasionally so as not to push Yanyi, a girl, beyond a certain limit.

However, Su Yanyi was both competitive and pugnacious. It would be too embarrassing if her skills were inferior and she couldn’t beat other kids her age, so she never slacked off in her training. But after she surpassed her peers, she set her sights on older friends, which meant that even if she didn’t want to slack off, she couldn’t. She had to increase her training regimen. The journey she had taken couldn’t be simply described as "hard."

But Su Yanyi also felt that this kind of hardship and effort was worthwhile. At the very least, she was the one who emerged victorious in the end, and the losers were always others.

Thinking back on her childhood, Su Yanyi couldn’t help thinking of her young companions back then. Now, those few people were scattered around the world, engaged in various occupations. Some were involved in life-and-death businesses, while others worked in life-saving trades, but all were extremely formidable. It had been several years since she had seen them, and she didn’t know how they were faring. Perhaps she should find an opportunity to have a reunion.

At that thought, Su Yanyi had a flash of insight. Suddenly, she realized she didn’t need to look for any opportunity—New Year’s was less than two months away, and every year the Su family would have a grand gathering. Unless there were exceptional circumstances, all elite offspring belonging to the Su family would return to participate. Those friends of hers would naturally be back then. It seemed she should seriously train herself so as not to be surpassed by them.

To train in martial arts, naturally, one needed a sparring partner. Su Yanyi’s gaze fell inevitably on Qin Jiran, and she said with quite a bit of excitement, "From now on, every morning when you do your morning exercises, call me to join. We’ll practice together."

Qin Jiran couldn’t figure out how Su Yanyi’s thought process had jumped from the topic of hardship to morning exercises, but her suggestion clearly delighted him, and he immediately agreed, "Okay, I’ll surely call you."

Qin Jiran had honed his excellent martial arts skills from a young age. However, his initial journey had been unstructured, learned through street fights, which were an everyday occurrence in the orphanage where he grew up. If you didn’t bully others, someone would try to bully you; and if you didn’t want to be bullied, you had to learn how to fight back. As he fought, Qin Jiran became more and more skilled until he grew up and went to school, where he started to learn various combat techniques systematically. Later, when he had the resources, he even hired professional instructors to teach him, which led to his current impressive abilities.
