Chapter 546: Chapter 546: Mr. Song Was Right
The first time she revealed her life story to others in such a candid and detailed manner, Tang Li found that although she initially felt uncomfortable, after listening to Wu Xuehan and Yu Sui’s words, she gradually relaxed, and a faint smile appeared on her lips.
So, it was not the case that everyone would distance themselves from her because she was an illegitimate daughter, nor would everyone shun her like a snake or scorpion upon learning her mother was infected with the AIDS virus.
Having lived two lifetimes, it was the first time Tang Li truly saw what friendship looked like.
She remembered Song Baiyan’s words at the dinner table—
“Friendship is most beautiful when it’s like icing on the cake; it’s most valuable when it’s like delivering charcoal in snowy weather. The prerequisite is to first be a good person yourself, and then find the right person to be friends with. Based on mutual understanding, and after going through adjustments, such a friendship can last and be stable.”
That night, Wu Xuehan embraced a pillow wanting to sleep together with Tang Li.
After the lights were turned off, another person squeezed in forcibly.
A 1.2-meter single bed was too small for three people. Tang Li was squeezed to the edge of the bed, while Wu Xuehan and Yu Sui were still struggling over who would sleep in the middle, kicking and pinching each other until they both fell off the bed.
By the end of May, the temperature felt like early summer.
Tang Li took a bedsheet and spread it on the ground, moved the objects from the bed, and then Yu Sui and Wu Xuehan each brought their blankets over, and the three of them squeezed together on the floor for the night.
Before preparing to sleep, Tang Li composed a text message: “Mr. Song was right, making more friends isn’t necessarily a bad thing.”
The next day, with no scheduled appointments, Tang Li brought Yu Sui to accompany Wu Xuehan to her filming crew.
Wu Xuehan played a supporting role and being a newcomer, even though she was introduced to the director by Qi Liang, her treatment on set wasn’t much different from that of other ordinary actors.
Being new to the crew, Wu Xuehan was inevitably a bit nervous.
Her situation wasn’t much better than Tang Li’s had been at the beginning.
Wu Xuehan hadn’t signed with an agency, so she had no agents or assistants by her side, and she hadn’t studied professional courses at school—after joining the crew, it was not easy for her to blend in with the veteran actors.
That was why Tang Li came over today.
—Although she couldn’t be much help, she knew that just her and Yu Sui sitting there watching was a form of emotional support and encouragement for Wu Xuehan.
Not wanting to be recognized by the working staff of “Legend of the Koi,” Tang Li deliberately wore a mask. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ novel·fire·net
The crew was currently shooting in the suburbs of the Capital, and it would be about half a month before they moved to Lishan Film and Television City. Wu Xuehan was playing a maid, confined in the bamboo forest next to a certain prince—the male lead. Although the role was small, it ran through the entire film.
Having Tang Li accompany her to the filming, Wu Xuehan was overjoyed.
After finishing makeup, she ran back carrying her costume and squatted next to Tang Li, refusing to leave.
Yu Sui kicked Wu Xuehan: “Go and rehearse with the other actors!”
“I can just look at the script and rehearse by myself here.”
As Wu Xuehan spoke, she flipped open the script and actively asked Tang Li for advice on parts she didn’t understand.
Tang Li highlighted key lines and also mentioned some things to pay attention to while filming.
A while later, Wu Xuehan suddenly said, “Did I tell you guys, the actress playing Noble Consort Xiao is Jiang Yiniing?”
Tang Li’s writing motion paused.
“How come it’s her?” Yu Sui frowned.
“The cast other than the lead actors hasn’t been revealed online. Yiniing just joined the crew today for filming, I saw her in the makeup room and was startled.”
