Chapter 511: The Star's Rebirth

Getting along with Su Yu was exceptionally smooth.

With the foundation of affection from their dream encounters, she showed absolute trust and reliance on Tang Song.

Under his meticulous planning and layout, in less than a week, Su Yu officially obtained her contract termination agreement.

The amount was only 3 million, one-tenth of Qianhe Entertainment's original asking price.

At the same time, Jin Mi Shu completed the acquisition of the entertainment company selected by the investment team and renamed it "Tang Zong Entertainment."

Su Yu became the new company's first signed artist, directly receiving the top-tier S-class contract, with all benefits tailored to superstar standards.

From this moment on, her fate was completely rewritten.

With the intervention of the public relations team, the media began to speak up for Su Yu, and the once overwhelming negative rumors were gradually clarified.

The spearhead quietly turned toward the other members of the Echo girl group.

Just as the outside world was buzzing with discussion, Su Yu's first single since returning to the music scene, "Confession," was released.

This song quickly topped major music charts and became a hit across the entire internet.

It also brought the name "Su Yu" back into the public eye.

To help Su Yu and Tang Zong Entertainment achieve breakthrough development, in the 【Female Star】 character cultivation task, Tang Song once again consumed a precious lucky item and drew the SR-level character 【Agent - Mo Xiang Wan】.

This experienced and decisive industry elite was extremely outstanding; relying on her keen business sense and excellent operational capabilities, she tailored a series of precise career plans for Su Yu and the company's artists.

Tang Song poured in massive resources and funds, fully pushing the development of Tang Zong Entertainment.

Using items to enhance Su Yu's talents and introducing top international producers to participate in the production of Su Yu's new album, one hit song after another was born.

The TV series "Career City," starring Su Yu, became a phenomenal work, sparking a viewing craze and becoming popular both at home and abroad.

During the 2018 Spring Festival season, the film marking Su Yu's big-screen debut topped the domestic box office.

It also made her name a household one.

Tang Song always stood behind Su Yu, planning and strategizing, with every decision being incredibly precise.

In just one short year.

Su Yu transformed from an idol who had fallen to the bottom into an all-around superstar in film, television, and music, her radiance illuminating the entire Huaxia entertainment circle.

Tang Zong Entertainment also rose rapidly in this wave, frequently merging with other small and medium-sized entertainment companies, becoming an emerging giant that could not be ignored in the industry.

Whether in capital operation or content creation, this company demonstrated astonishing strength.

During this period, Jin Mi Shu was very dissatisfied with this and talked to Tang Song many times, reminding him either subtly or directly that the entertainment industry was not the future and that he should invest more energy into finance and technology.

However, it didn't have much effect; Tang Song seemed addicted to it.

In the university dormitory, there were more and more topics about Su Yu.

Watching the female star he cultivated rise higher and higher, becoming the dream lover and goddess of countless men.

A huge sense of satisfaction welled up in his heart.

He began to bring Su Yu to integrate with his network.

Letting her get to know Wu Kezhi, Ouyang Xianyue, and Zheng Qiudong.

It is worth mentioning that Ouyang Xianyue greatly appreciated Su Yu and was also her loyal fan of her music and films; the two became very close.

Subsequently, Liu Qingning began to participate in the "Internet + Entrepreneurship Competition."

She got to know Professor Wang Chang, a well-known expert in the field of AI, and began to frequently discuss topics about artificial intelligence with him.

Tang Song officially began to lay out the field of artificial intelligence, establishing and registering Qingning Technology.

Su Yu, who was "favored" at the time, participated in the early financing of Qingning Technology and even helped Tang Song hold some shares on his behalf, with treatment equivalent to Jin Mi Shu's.

At the same time, he also saw more acquaintances in his lost memories.

For example, his future colleague, Du Shaokai, who had some entanglements with him, was in the same class as him, majoring in Electronic Information Engineering.

For example, Zhang Yan, who had already been admitted to Yancheng Agricultural University at the time; she once appeared in the cafeteria of the University of Science and Technology, but she still brushed past Tang Song without any communication.

And for example, his future coser girlfriend, Qingqing.

Not yet 20 years old, she was youthful and high-spirited, carrying a full sense of girlishness, especially cute.

Her cosplay photos frequently appeared in groups and forums; his roommate Lu Kai became her die-hard fan, calling her the little Su Yu of the coser world. Of course, Tang Song also liked her very much and would occasionally save two photos of her and the school beauty.

August 2018.

The first internal shareholders' meeting of Qingning Technology was held in Shencheng.

In a five-star hotel in Shencheng.

Su Yu knocked on his hotel room door, wearing a fashionable and sexy dress, and stayed in the room with Tang Song to chat about music and life.

Tang Song gifted her the character item 【Su Yu's Glasses】 he had drawn earlier; it was the same style as the glasses he was wearing at the time.

At dusk.

"Knock, knock, knock—" The door was knocked.

Su Yu got up to open the door and saw Jin Mi Shu, dressed in professional attire, standing outside.

Jin Mi Shu walked straight into the room, pushed up the gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of her nose, swept a calm gaze over Su Yu, and then looked at Tang Song, who was sitting on the sofa.

Expressionlessly, she said, "Tang Zong, dinner is ready."

"Mm." Tang Song stood up and beckoned to Su Yu, "Let's go, female star, accompany us to dinner."

Su Yu looked at Jin Mi Shu standing there, then looked at Tang Song, and whispered a suggestion, "Song, can I take a photo with you?"

"Of course." Tang Song nodded calmly and handed the camera on the table to Jin Mi Shu, "Sorry to trouble you, smile."

Jin Mi Shu took the camera, a professional smile appearing on her face; she seemed to really have no emotional fluctuations.

"Click—" The sound of the shutter rang out.

Soon, their first official photo was born.

He and Su Yu stood in front of the hotel's floor-to-ceiling window, with the gorgeous sunset glow behind them.

Both of them wore black-rimmed glasses on the bridges of their noses, looking exceptionally harmonious.

Su Yu, at the peak of her career and peerlessly beautiful, leaned against Tang Song, looking back with a faint smile, lively and breathtakingly beautiful, her eyes full of his shadow. At the same time, Tang Song received the system's crisp prompt sound; Jin Mi Shu's favorability dropped by 30 points directly.

Jin Mi Shu was absent from the dinner that evening and the meeting the next day.

For the entire month that followed, she did not discuss any topics unrelated to work with Tang Song, and the silk stockings on her legs disappeared, replaced by long trousers.

Fortunately, Tang Song was "cheating," and began to pull his attention back bit by bit. He also began to gradually detach from Tang Zong Entertainment and Su Yu, turning to other directions.

The end of 2018 arrived quietly.

Su Yu gradually reached the top of the Huaxia entertainment circle, becoming a veritable superstar.

Whether on the screen or on the stage, she radiated incomparable charm.

The 【Female Star】 series cultivation task was about to be completed.

There were few hit songs, scripts, and plans left in Tang Song's mind.

The future blueprint he had once meticulously designed for her had now been fully realized.

This celebrity cultivation game had officially reached its end.

Of course, for him, all of this was just a node on the timeline.

On Christmas Day, which was also Su Yu's birthday,

Tang Song acquired Qianhe Entertainment, which held the ownership of the Echo girl group, and gifted it to her.

He also gifted her an additional portion of Tang Zong Entertainment's equity, as well as two luxury mansions and a large number of custom-made gowns and jewelry.

Night fell, and the city lights reflected the snowflakes outside the window.

In the evening, Su Yu knocked on his door again, looking at him shyly and passionately.

"629 days ago, you appeared in front of me. Thank you for letting me be reborn and putting the crown on me. I hope the current me hasn't disappointed you."

"Of course I'm not disappointed. The current you is exactly the way I wanted you to be. Female star, congratulations."

She wore a silver long dress, the hem spreading out on the carpet like the Milky Way, and sat in his room for a full four hours.

However, the "gentleman" Tang Song never crossed the line, not even giving her a hug.

They just chatted about music, film, and work.

The atmosphere was calm to the point of being cold, like thin ice in winter.

Then, his figure began to gradually disappear from her world.

He seemed to have never truly understood her.

"Whoosh—"

The torrent of memories slowly faded away.

Modou Film and Television Base, filming set.

The scene in front of him became clear again.

Tang Song's gaze was slightly dazed.

Everything seemed to have returned to calm, but his thoughts were like surging waves, hard to settle.

The memories of the past two years flooded into his mind: Ouyang Xianyue, Tang Yi, Jin Mi Shu, Zhang Yan, Liu Qingning, Spring Festival, roommates, Xu Qing, Shen Yu Yan... the first meeting in 2017, the guitar melody under the cherry blossoms; the glory of 2018, she stood under the spotlight, she sat on the bed in his room, she looked at him... those forgotten scenes were now as vivid as yesterday, even more real than reality.

Suddenly receiving such a massive amount of information, his temples throbbed faintly, as if fine needles were gently piercing his brain.

But this discomfort was soon replaced by a more intense emotion.

Guilt, heartache, and a complex emotion that was hard to describe.

He took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down.

He quickly raised his head, his gaze piercing through the layers of the crowd, looking at Su Yu not far away again.

She stood there, her eyes slightly red, her gaze trembling.

How similar she was to the night before she left on Christmas 2018.

Su Yu, Su Yu.

Her image became clearer and clearer, more and more three-dimensional, as if she were the way she looked just after walking out of the memories of '17 and '18.

The sound of his heartbeat echoed in his ears.

An indescribable emotion welled up from his heart; Tang Song's lips moved, his thoughts in turmoil.

Gradually, others noticed Su Yu's abnormality, and many people looked over following her gaze.

They happened to see Mo Xiang Wan standing in front of Tang Song.

They quickly looked away, not daring to pry any further.

This was the president of Tang Zong Entertainment, and the boss of all of them.

The director sitting behind the monitor stood up and came to the filming area, "Su Yu, is there any problem? Do you want to take a break?"

"No need, let's continue. My emotions were just a bit off." Su Yu quickly suppressed the waves in her heart, hiding all emotions beneath a calm surface.

The director hurriedly shouted, "Okay, let's do it again! Everyone get ready, Action!"

Su Yu glanced at Tang Song standing behind Mo Xiang Wan, closed her eyes for a moment, and when she opened them again, she had completely entered the character's state.

This was his first time visiting the set, and she had to show her most perfect and excellent self.

Following the director's order, the camera began to roll.

Su Yu lowered her eyes slightly, a bitter smile rising at the corner of her mouth, and began to recite her lines.

Every movement and every line of hers was precise, her eyes revealing complex emotions.

It was as if she had completely turned into another person.

This delicate expressiveness made everyone on the scene hold their breath.

"Great! This take is perfect!" The director shouted excitedly, "Get ready, we'll start the next one immediately—"

The filming continued according to plan.

Su Yu, immersed in work, no longer looked at Tang Song in the crowd.

Occasional breaks only saw her linger on him for a split second, and after ensuring he hadn't left, she continued to communicate filming details with other staff members.

Tang Song stood on the periphery of the crowd, quietly watching Su Yu's every move.

He could feel the emotions she was deliberately suppressing, and he could also see her effortless performance in front of the camera.

In his mind, he repeatedly compared her with the her from 6 years ago.

Past eleven in the morning.

Following the director's "Cut," the whole scene erupted into warm applause.

Su Yu returned a faint smile, officially ending her last scene of the morning.

She picked up the script, her gaze precisely locking onto that familiar figure.

Her long boots tapped lightly on the ground, her pace calm and elegant.

The people around her quickly cleared a path for her.

Mo Xiang Wan gave a wink to the staff member beside her.

Soon, a group of security personnel acted in tacit understanding, using professional methods to isolate some prying eyes.

When she finally walked in front of him, the noise gradually blurred.

Su Yu tilted her head slightly, her expression still soft and calm, but her voice carried a slight tremor, "You're here?"

Three short words, under the gaze of those amber eyes, contained all the unspoken longing and anticipation.

It is no exaggeration to say that for this encounter, she had even practiced her breathing when they met.

"Mm." Tang Song nodded, watching those complex and affectionate eyes.

As a Best Actress, Su Yu's eyes were very beautiful and extremely capable of expressing emotions, as if they could speak.

Su Yu shook the script in her hand, her tone relaxed and natural as she said, "I just happen to need to organize the upcoming filming plan. Do you want to go to the lounge with me? It's quieter there, and we can chat about the script."

This was obviously an excuse, but her tone was steady and smooth, without any flaws.

However, Tang Song did not answer immediately.

His gaze lingered on her face with black-rimmed glasses, as if he wanted to deeply imprint her at this moment into his memory.

Immediately after, just as everyone was stunned, he stretched out his arm, pulled Su Yu directly into his arms, hugged her tightly, feeling her slender curves pressed against his chest, and breathing in the charming fragrance on her body.

Even with staff blocking and the power of Su Yu and Mo Xiang Wan, there were still some big-name actors and directors paying attention to Su Yu's movements intentionally or unintentionally.

Tang Song's action was decisive, swift, and caught everyone off guard, startling everyone.

Mo Xiang Wan's brow twitched rapidly; she didn't expect that Tang Zong, who was always calm and rational, would be so impulsive, and without any warning beforehand.

Fortunately, this was in the studio, and everyone around was related to Tang Zong Entertainment.

Even those actors were mostly artists signed to the company.

Of course, Su Yu was not afraid of these small scandals; with the resources and control of Tang Zong Entertainment today, they would basically not let public opinion get out of control.

Her only worry was that once this matter reached Jin Mi Shu's ears, the other party would probably be furious again.

This is truly... a sin!

Su Yu's eyes widened blankly, and she seemed to fall into a stupor. She stood there stiffly, letting him hug her tightly.

Although it hurt a little, it also reminded her that all of this was real.

The feeling of the hug was really good; it was the comfort of the flesh, the reward of the mortal world.

"I missed you so much, female star." Tang Song's emotionally rich voice rang in her ears, and tears burst forth.

Su Yu's expression management completely failed, and she buried her exquisitely beautiful face in his shoulder.

Moisture spread along his hoodie, soaking his skin.

"Tang Zong, Xiao Yu." Mo Xiang Wan's voice rang out not far away, her tone gentle and firm, "I know you are excited to see an old friend again, but it's easy to make everyone misunderstand. Let's go into the lounge and chat."

Her voice was deliberately raised a bit, obviously providing a reasonable explanation for the people around.

At the same time, she gave a wink to the assistant beside her without a trace.

Tang Song took a deep breath and slowly loosened his arms.

Su Yu's tears had stopped, but her eyes were still red.

She sniffed lightly and quickly tidied up her appearance, "Sorry, I lost my composure. Let's go."

After speaking, she lowered her head slightly, turned around, and strode toward the lounge.

Su Yu's independent lounge was located at the end of the filming area, a spacious and private space.

The two stepped into it one after the other.

The moment the door closed gently, the whole world seemed to quiet down.

Su Yu leaned against the door, her gaze fixed on Tang Song, her chest heaving violently, as if suppressing some indescribable emotion.

"I—I"

She opened her mouth, but could only repeat this word, her voice trembling, carrying undisguised excitement.

Tang Song stood in front of her and reached out to take off the black-rimmed glasses on the bridge of her nose, his movements gentle but full of possessiveness.

He carefully examined this familiar yet strange face.

Superior bone structure beauty, lively and spirited facial features, every detail was perfect enough to make one hold their breath.

Only by gazing at her from such a close distance could one truly feel her unique charm.

"You are so beautiful!" Tang Song exclaimed with a fiery gaze.

A blush rose on Su Yu's face, and she subconsciously turned her head away, avoiding his gaze.

He had praised her many times, but only this time did Su Yu see intense possessiveness in his eyes, combined with love and related to sex.

Watching the female star's shy and breathtakingly beautiful appearance, Tang Song could no longer suppress the surging emotions in his heart.

He raised his hand, gently straightened her face, forcing her to look directly into his eyes.

He lowered his head and kissed her hard.

Their lips touched, hot and intertwined.

Their warm breath intertwined, and their breathing became rapid and chaotic.

Su Yu's body stiffened, but soon became soft again, staring at him with wide eyes.

The two just looked at each other like this, sucking and lingering hard.

"Thump, thump—" The sound of their heartbeats roared in their ears, unprecedentedly intense.

A huge sense of satisfaction filled their hearts.

Tang Song held her, pressing her more closely to himself.

His nose and mouth were full of her scent, fresh and elegant, with a hint of mystery, very intoxicating.

His palm slid across her back, feeling the perfect curves outlined by her high-waisted tight jeans.

The arc of her perfect C-shaped waist was just right, neither overly slender nor lacking a sense of strength; every touch made him unable to help but praise the creator's uncanny workmanship.

Su Yu was not the so-called "right-angle shoulder" or "big thin waist"; looking at any part alone might not be particularly stunning.

But when these elements were combined, they formed a natural, harmonious beauty.

Shoulders like they were carved, waist like plain silk.

Every detail radiated the charm of a top beauty, unique.

Tang Song couldn't help but use force with both hands.

Water mist immediately floated in Su Yu's eyes, and a low hum and gasp from instinct came from her mouth.

The tail sound was long, carrying a bit of laziness and coquetry, like an improvised ditty, hitting one's sensory nerves directly.

As a top diva, Su Yu's voice was recognized as beautiful and highly recognizable.

This kind of sound came from her mouth, carrying a fatal attraction.

Tang Song was addicted after hearing it just once, and his eyes were red.

In the quiet lounge, Su Yu's pleasant voice began to ring out intermittently.

Like the night wind brushing the strings, soft and long, and carrying a hint of inadvertent teasing.

After a long time, the two slowly separated.

Su Yu leaned against the vanity, supporting the countertop with both hands, her chest heaving violently.

Her face was flushed, her lips slightly swollen, her gaze fixed on Tang Song.

"The clothes you're wearing today..." Her tone revealed a trance.

"That's right, it's the outfit from when we first met. Is it a surprise?"

"A surprise, thank you. In this world, there is probably no bigger surprise than this."

Tang Song lowered his gaze, looking at her slightly messy clothes, his eyes soft, "You're also wearing the same thing as that day, but you were wearing sunglasses and a beanie, wrapped up tightly, very pitiful."

Hearing him talk about their meeting for the first time, Su Yu's eyes became moist again.

She took a deep breath, trying to calm the waves in her heart, and chatted with him about the past in a soft voice. In the quiet lounge, only the two of them stood face to face, exceptionally warm.

After a while.

Su Yu looked into his eyes and said, "Actually, I've always wanted to know, why did you suddenly come to Modou to find me back then?"

"Why..." Tang Song paused slightly, a brilliant smile suddenly appearing on his face, and he kissed her porcelain-white cheek, "Of course it's because I like you. I first saw your photo in the dormitory, and then I set my sights on you. I was deliberately approaching you at the time."

Su Yu murmured incredulously, "Is... is that so?"

"Of course, you don't believe it?"

"No!" Su Yu took a deep breath, a complex and bright light flashing in her gaze.

Actually, over the years, especially after Tang Song left, she gradually figured it out.

The way Tang Song treated her was more like treating a work—a painting, a game.

He cultivated and shaped her in his own way, carving out a perfect "Su Yu" according to his own preferences.

This "Su Yu" was a dazzling star, the focus of everyone's attention, but not her true self.

That's why he could discard her and ignore her at will.

She was trapped in a picture frame, locked in a game screen.

There seemed to be an invisible barrier between them, like two people from different dimensions, forever unable to truly touch each other's core.

It was precisely this discovery that made her completely collapse.

And Tang Song at this moment was full of emotion as he looked at her, chatting with her about shared memories, saying he liked her, unprecedentedly real.

More real than when she saw him at the Yancheng concert last time.

Su Yu realized that she had finally walked out of the picture frame, no longer that virtual "character."

She stood in the same dimension as him, could look directly into his soul, and could also let him look directly into her soul.

This feeling was both strange and exciting.

Su Yu bit her lip hard, and her high-heeled boots took a step forward.

She reached out and pinched his chin, her fingertips slightly forceful, lifting his face toward herself.

Her towering chest pressed against his chest, their noses almost touching.

"Then, how much time do I have today?" Her voice was hoarse and sexy, carrying a hint of initiative and aggression she had never had before.

Tang Song paused slightly, feeling that the female star seemed a bit different.

"What do you mean?"

Su Yu did not look away, but continued to stare him down, "When are you leaving today?"

Tang Song pondered for a moment and replied, "According to your filming schedule, I'll probably leave at 6 PM."

As soon as the words fell, Su Yu's eyes suddenly lit up, "In other words, I still have 7 hours to be with you?"

Tang Song blinked, "Of course not."

The light in Su Yu's eyes gradually dimmed, "Then how long? You tell me."

Tang Song reached out and gently held her waist, pulling her closer, feeling her firmness and warmth.

"Female star, not just today, for the next 3 days, I will come to visit the set every day."

Su Yu was stunned for a long time, murmuring, "Really?"

"Of course." Tang Song's mouth curled up, "Besides that, I also want to make a cameo appearance and complete a scene with you. But I have no acting experience, so I might need your guidance. Best Actress, do you agree?"

"You..." Su Yu widened her eyes, looking at him incredulously, "You want to act with me?"

"Mm."

Su Yu took a deep breath, suddenly leaned forward, grabbed the collar of his hoodie with both hands, pulled it down hard, and her rosy lips pressed against the area below his collarbone without warning.

A numb and moist feeling came, accompanied by intense sucking.

After a long time, she raised her head, her slender fingers gently stroking the mark she had left, her gaze burning as she said, "Then in these 3 days,

you are mine, completely mine, Tang Song."
