I've Been Waiting for You to Break Up for Ages

Actress x Journalist

Yu Jiangqing wasn't having a good year.

Her girlfriend of many years had cheated on her, and her career had hit a serious standstill. Lost and miserable, she used her annual leave to visit a northern tourist city.

It was a place where nobody knew her.

So she finally let herself relax.

But perhaps she relaxed a little too much.

When Yu Jiangqing woke up and found a woman beside her, she practically ran and crawled out of the hotel. She changed her ticket and flew home that very night.

She thought she could just pretend nothing had happened.

A month later, her supervisor assigned her to interview Pei Shuangyun at an awards ceremony.

She had to get an exclusive, no matter what.

Who was Pei Shuangyun?

The youngest actress ever to win all three major film awards.

She was arrogant and had rarely accepted interviews since her debut.

Get an exclusive? Might as well dream on.

It was obvious her supervisor was setting her up to fail.

Yu Jiangqing thought it over for a long time.

In the end, she decided she'd resign of her own accord before long.

On the night of the ceremony, in the waiting area,

Yu Jiangqing and a large group of reporters waited by the door. After an unknown amount of time, the manager came out to stop them, while Pei Shuangyun walked straight past the crowd and left.

She knew it would turn out this way.

Since she'd already decided to resign, she didn't press the issue. She was about to call a cab home.

At the venue's back entrance, a car suddenly pulled up right in front of her.

She was about to run when the window rolled down, revealing Pei Shuangyun's face.

Yu Jiangqing: "!?"

-

In a dim room, Yu Jiangqing was backed into a corner with nowhere to go. All she could do was lower her head.

Pei Shuangyun slowly lifted her chin. "You want an exclusive?"

"You already have one. You experienced it firsthand."

Remembering something, Yu Jiangqing looked at her with near-terror.

"You were trembling just as hard as you were that night."

Pei Shuangyun laughed. "I liked it. Want to do it again?"

-

Lately, gossip has been spreading like wildfire in the entertainment industry.

They say Pei Shuangyun, who looks down on everyone equally, is in a relationship.

With the girl she's loved for ten years.

Seriously, I've been waiting for you to break up for ages.
