"Yan, don’t you really want to give me a chance? If I miss this one, I’m afraid I will never have the courage to recall that incident that ruined me again."
That incident that ruined her? Leng Yan furrowed his brows.
"What’s wrong, what are you thinking about?"
Wen Nuan came out of the bathroom, sat beside him, and asked in confusion, "Whose call was it? Is there something happening at the company?"
Leng Yan instinctively put the phone aside and wrapped his arm around her shoulder: "I’ll accompany you shopping."
"Are you agreeing to go with me?"
Wen Nuan excitedly hugged his neck and gave him a big kiss on the cheek. After that, she realized she had acted a bit crazily and shyly lowered her head, "Um... I... I got too excited."
"Go on ahead, I’ll be there shortly."
His fingers touched the spot she had kissed, and a smile slowly blossomed at the corner of his mouth. But when he saw the phone, that smile turned a bit strange.
What exactly happened?
Ji Wei mentioned it repeatedly, arousing his curiosity from what was initially disdain.
He closed his eyes tightly and forcefully pushed Ji Wei’s image out of his mind.
"What’s going on, needing three takes for such a simple scene?"
On set, the director yelled at the unsteady Ji Wei.
This film’s progress was demanded to be quick, and Ji Wei had many scenes. If this continued, it would certainly affect the filming.
Ji Wei pinched her brow: "Film someone else’s scene first, I’ll come over in a while."
Fan Ming stepped forward to ask, "What’s going on, very out of it?"
"I don’t know, I’m going to the car to rest for a bit."
She slowly shook her head, a bitter smile creeping onto her lips as she walked towards the RV, leaned on a comfortable chair, and listened to a song, hoping to relax her nerves.
If I look at you one more time
Will there still be feelings?
Back then, looking so innocent with a bare face as pure as could be
Not drawing deceiving eyeliner
Not applying smooth foundation
Laughing at others’ smudged faces
Xu Song’s "Natural Face," a song filled with subtle sadness, flowed slowly from the radio as Ji Wei lightly hummed along, unknowingly streaming tears down her face.
Back then, she didn’t draw deceiving eyeliner, didn’t apply smooth foundation, and on rainy days, would drag him out shopping as usual. Girls with makeup ran frantically because they didn’t bring umbrellas, and she laughed, throwing herself into his arms, just because she saw others’ faces smudge from rain running down their cheeks.
Now, the one smiling by his side is no longer her. She can’t even get a good look from him...
"I spoke with the director, and today is a break for you, we’re filming someone else’s scenes first. Ji Wei, in a few days there’s a suicide scene; you really can’t keep this up, Director Weng is very dissatisfied," Fan Ming opened the door and looked at her tear-stained face, sighing, "Director Weng likes to scold people, doesn’t matter if you’re famous or just starting out, why cry over that?"
"It’s not because of that." Ji Wei wiped away her tears with the back of her hand, gave a bitter smile, "Get the driver for me, I want to go out shopping to relieve stress."
Outside Lanwei Mall, Leng Yan parked the car in a space. Wen Nuan got out, fluttering her eyes as she looked at him: "How about we shop over there?"
She pointed her finger towards the pedestrian street in front.
Walking hand-in-hand with him on the street, with a lollipop or a skewer of street-grilled lamb in her mouth, happily talking about the things happening around them. Occasionally joking and laughing, she ran happily ahead while he joyfully followed behind...
All of this, she had dreamed of countless times.
But, only in her dreams...
Ever since marrying him, she had fantasized about those dreams coming true.
She wanted it so badly, it hurt...
Leng Yan slightly frowned.
Yes, let’s shop, Wen Nuan, Leng Yan, Ji Wei, everyone let’s go shopping O(∩_∩)O~
