Chapter 1: The Missing Person

At this time, it was late at night. Sun Jiamin viewed the night scene outside from the floor-to-ceiling windows of her home, while she glanced at a handsome-looking man lying on her bed at this time, revealing a small knowing smile. Wearing a white nightgown, Sun Jiamin walked to the kitchen, opened the refrigerator and took out a can of fresh milk. At this time, a white poodle quickly ran up to Sun Jiamin's feet and started rubbing against her pants. "Dev?" Sun Jiamin had just poured a cup of milk and was about to heat it up when she saw the white poodle staring blearily at her. "Well …… it's a big night, you should go to sleep." However the poodle named Dev was still constantly rubbing against Sun Jiamin, just not willing to leave. "Don't be like this, I've asked the vet's doctor, young dogs like you can't drink milk oh, even if you grow up and drink it again, it's easy to be lactose intolerant. Good boy ……" Sun Jiamin is actually more or less helpless. She was not a pet-loving person, and even more so, she had never thought of keeping a cat or dog, not to mention that for an actress like her, who had to run around different sets all day long, she simply couldn't take good care of her pet. However, this pet was entrusted to her by her best friend for safekeeping. Now that her best friend had completely evaporated, Sun Jiamin had used many methods, but could never find her, and in the end, she could only help her take care of the dog. Renewing the dog's license every year, injecting vaccines, all these things she did personally, never pretending to be someone else's hand. In the blink of an eye, Dev was already three years old. Now, it also seemed to be getting familiar with Sun Jiamin as its new owner. Only, Dev clearly still missed that old master of its. "Alright." Sun Jiamin opened the refrigerator and took some beef jerky, then handed it to the Dev in front of her, "It's so delicious oh…… go back." Perhaps it was because of the years of living on the set, her work and rest became more and more chaotic, Sun Jiamin had mild insomnia symptoms. She would have a hard time falling back to sleep at night as long as she woke up in the middle of the night, and no matter how much she lay down, she would feel more and more hyperactive in her brain. Usually at this time, she would come to warm a glass of milk and then fall asleep again, which might work better. Therefore, she always stored quite a lot of milk inside the refrigerator. Of course, because of her status as an actress, body management came first, and all she acquired was skimmed milk, which actually tasted really bad. "If I let my manager know that I'm drinking milk in the middle of the night, I'm probably going to nag me again." Sun Jiamin let out a bitter laugh, while soon, the microwave finally heated up her milk. Removing the cup, she took her cell phone and sat down in front of the sofa, drinking the milk while starting to check her cell phone. Dev, on the other hand, was still there feasting on the beef jerky she had given her, which was imported, and the dog's food was totally better than the average commoner. Looking at the cell phone screen in front of her …… Even now, on the main screen of Sun Jiamin's cell phone, there is still a photo of her and Dev's original owner. The photo was a photo taken back then when they first met and participated in a variety reality show. Sun Jiamin slowly drank a mouthful of milk, looked at that best friend standing next to her on the cell phone screen, and then looked at Dev who was still gnawing on the beef jerky over there, and said, "Ziyi, I've raised your family's Dev very well, haven't I?" A few years ago, as a 90-year-old Sun Jiamin, she relied on her father's network of connections, and even if she was from a non-science class, she was arranged to make her debut in the entertainment industry. However, she could sense that the people around her were fawning over her because of her father, but could be said to be scornful of her lousy acting skills. And after her debut, the network also had a very bad reputation for her, one moment said that she had plastic surgery, one moment said that she had a heart of gold, and even said that she had been adopted by a certain old boss. At that time …… Ziyi was the only one who was sympathetic to her. Strange to say, the two of them, one is a southerner, one is a northerner, living in the city connected to each other can almost span the whole of China, yet magically get along. Took another sip of milk, then she logged on to the East Star Video APP.East Star TV also followed suit and launched its own video website after Hunan TV launched Mango TV. The reason why Dongxing Video actually managed to make a profit last year in today's cold winter environment of the film and television industry was because Dongxing TV's homemade variety shows were extremely creative. After all, the cost of buying headline dramas is too high, and it's hard to make money on advertising and membership revenue alone, while self-produced dramas and self-produced variety shows can make a big profit with a small one. And with today's variety shows, celebrity-vegetarian interactions are starting to become an interesting new trend, and this time around, East Star TV decided to play ball by launching "Escape! Alien Spirit! This variety show, which is cloaked in a live psychic reality broadcast, is currently making quite an impact online, being listed in the top ten of Weibo's hot searches for three consecutive days. This variety show has invited quite a few traffic kids, and the most popular ones are Xiao Dai, Tang Tingtian and Lu Yunxiu. Among them, Lu Yunxiu is Sun Jiamin's current boyfriend, but this relationship between the two has always been underground and not public, and both are very careful not to be photographed by entertainment reporters. The two are not acting, is pure flow actors, romance once open …… will certainly have countless people a large number of people off the powder. Similarly, it was precisely because of the lack of acting skills that they could only go to variety shows to sell their personas. Sun Jiamin leaned his head slightly towards the back, affected by the film and television winter, coupled with the fact that the model of flow + IP has begun to fail in recent years, investors have increasingly begun to cautiously use flow actors. Therefore, when this new self-produced variety show from East Star TV threw out an olive branch to Sun Jiamin, she agreed without hesitation. And this time, with her lover Lu Yunxiu on this variety show, the duo was quite surprised. Of course the only problem was that …… this variety show going to an uninhabited island was definitely going to be hard. This point, there is no doubt. Just at this time, the bedroom door was suddenly gently pushed open, then Lu Yunxiu, who was only wearing a pair of tight pants, walked out. Sun Jiamin, who was drinking milk, hurriedly stood up and said, "Uh, did I disturb you?" "No, I just thought that you probably mostly couldn't sleep getting up in the middle of the night." Lu Yunxiu smiled slightly, his signature smile didn't know how many female fans he had charmed to death, and looking at his upper body's extremely fit body, and the androgynous charisma highlighted by those tight pants, if the fans were to see this image right now, Sun Jiamin would definitely be regarded as a public enemy by them. Lu Yunxiu walked over to the sofa and sat down, and as he wrapped his arms around the pajama-clad Sun Jiamin, he looked at the Dev in front of him, and said, "Ugh, you said that it's not quite appropriate for you to continue to keep this dog when you're also so prone to sleeping poorly at night, right?" "But after all, it was left to me by Ziyi, she used to be super fond of Dev ……" "Alas, that close friend of yours has been missing for so long, I see that mostly …… you have people you know who like pets, this dog will be given to them?" Sun Jiamin took another sip of milk, and carefully stared at the Dev in front of her, and after thinking about it, she still said, "No way! I promised Ziyi in the beginning, I have to help her take care of Dev all the time." "Then …… you at least promise me that if you have a child, you can't continue to raise a dog ah." Hearing these words, Sun Jiamin immediately blushed and pushed Lu Yunxiu beside her with her hand, saying, "What are you talking about, who's going to give you a child!" "Is that so? Are you sure?" "Well …… I promise you just. At least …… before, before …… before that, I have to take care of Dev." "However, that close friend of yours, it was really inexplicable that she disappeared in the first place, in the beginning she would still come to see Dev, but then suddenly she evaporated and disappeared without a trace." "Ziyi's parents are also anxious crazy ah ……," Sun Jiamin sighed, "I still remember the last time she contacted me, always feel that at that time, it was as if she was suffering from depression, I've always been very afraid of ……" Lu Yunsu understood something, "You mean suicide?" "When two famous Korean actresses committed suicide last year, I associated it to her. I've always been afraid that she didn't find a place where no one was and …… You also know that we're all stars with tons of black fans, and internet violence is also really scary." Lu Yunxiu was also silent for a moment. "But then I recalled the last time she contacted me, I always felt that her condition was more like fear than depression, right?" "Fear?" "It was as if she was in extreme fear of something …… I don't know, what exactly was that?"
