[FLOTG] Chapter 19: Negotiation

At noon the next day, Shen Huai boarded his plane under the cover of Song Xue-Yang. After the plane took flight, Shen Huai found a card in the bag of snacks Song Xue-Yang had prepared for him. The handwriting on it was beautiful and refined... "No one can predict how far you can go, including yourself." Shen Huai felt warmth flow through his heart. He posted a short Weibo: "The road ahead is endless. No regrets. @Shen Nuo" This post finally settled the matter of Shen Huai's retirement from the entertainment industry. The mass of anti-fans rejoiced. They had waited for so long to see Shen Huai leave the entertainment industry! They would never have to suffer any more of his zombie acting! How liberating! The anti-fans thronged to leave comments under Shen Huai's Weibo post, expressing their joy and excitement at triumphing at the end of their long battle. [ You really aren't suited to be an actor.

Song Xue-Yang turned on a computer for him. "We train till about seven, then go for dinner. If you're bored, feel free to play around." Shen Huai nodded and sat down.

With only four members remaining from their 7-man team, this was undoubtedly a critical period of transition for Maple Moon. Whether or not they would be able to keep their top-8 ranking in the pro leagues next year would really come

[FLOTG] Chapter 17: Change in Opinion

Shen Huai clung to the toilet bowl, puking his guts out. His eyebrows were tightly knitted, and from the sound of his retching, it was almost as if his very intestines would be thrown up as well. One couldn't help but feel sorry for him. Song Xue-Yang wrapped a towel around himself and crouched down to pat Shen Huai on the back. Shen Huai turned his head to look at him with dazed eyes, and then, as if just realising Song Xue-Yang was still half-naked, he instantly stood up and took two steps back. Song Xue-Yang found his reaction rather funny. Shen Huai could not look straight at him, eyes only dropping down briefly to glance at Song Xue-Yang's towel-clad lower body before he turned his head aside as if he had been electrocuted, revealing a red-tinged ear. Song Xue-Yang could see that Shen Huai was easily embarrassed. He resisted the urge to tease Shen Huai and handed him a cup of water, also scrounging up some medicine to help with the process of sobering up. "T
