When Gong Yu saw Amy holding her hands and thinking something else as looking at the phone, he asked, "What's wrong?"
Amy put the phone aside and answered softly, "Ding Sisi is really funny. She dared to order me to deal with it carelessly."
Upon hearing it, Gong Yu became sullen and said deeply, "Ignore it. And do you own thing carefully."
Amy could not help arching her eyebrows and joking, "What? Handsome guy, why did you stand up for Yun Muxi like that? Do you like our screenwriter?"
Yun Muxi was surprised at these words and said in disagreement, "Oh dear, Sister Amy, don't make fun of me. It's not good if others hear that."
Gong Yu coughed lightly and pretended to be indifferent. He headed down to a magazine and said in a deep voice, "We don't have enough time. Please get started!"
After being reminded, Amy came to herself and got into gear quickly, throwing herself into doing makeup for Yun Muxi.
As for Ding Sisi's command, she did not take it seriously. This was Zhao Yi's film, so she had attached great importance to it. But for Ding Sisi, she did not care about at all.
Although Amy was slightly inferior to Tina, she still made a name for herself in the circle. Amy came from a poor family in the countryside and earned a living in the city at a tender age. She showed great interest in image designing. After saving some money by doing concurrently several jobs and being frugal, she used the money to enter a vocational school and study image designing. Amy was smart and gifted. After graduation, she made some achievements indeed and had her own understanding.
But at that time, Amy almost used up all of her savings and had little money to dress herself up. Many people thought that she was too rustic to be a make-up artist, so they rejected her directly even without examining her skill.
At that time, she encountered Zhao Yi by chance. He was shooting a film when his make-up artist fell ill unexpectedly and had to be hospitalized. It was hard to find a proper make-up artist to help. With Amy's teacher's recommendation, Zhao Yi agreed to give her a try. He found that Amy was highly perceptive and skillful, so he gave her the first chance and later introduced a number of opportunities to her. Gradually, Amy became known in the circle. She thought that Zhao Yi scouted her. Therefore, as long as Zhao Yi asked, she would say yes without hesitation. And she was the make-up artist of "Where does love belong".
The reason why Zhao Yi preferred to choose Amy was that she was talented, hard-working and upright in particular, an extraordinary person in the entertainment circle who would not be disturbed by other factors.
Amy got down to doing the makeup for Yun Muxi. She thought that Yun Muxi had good grounds, so she did not put too much on her. Besides, Amy selected a piece of white, simple and modest costume for her. She just expended less than one-third of energy that she had spent on Ding Sisi. Within an hour, she completed the makeup for Yun Muxi with ease. It should be Amy's most satisfactory work until now. The process was quite smooth, which made her excited indeed.
Amy delightedly led Yun Muxi to come to Gong Yu and said with a smile, "Gong Yu, come and see. Are you satisfied with the leading actress?"
Gong Yu put down the magazine in his hands and raised his eyes. Suddenly, he fixed his eyes on Yun Muxi and fell into a daze. The familiar memories flooded into his mind.
The pretty woman in front had big black clear eyes. The small mole below her left eye was like a teardrop and was rather adorable. He was fascinated by her appearance— the prominent nose, rosy lips closed, faint rouge on the white tender face, and the pointed chin tucked slightly. She looked unconfident and bashful. Nobody would withdraw the eyes from such a beautiful and delicate face.
She wore beautiful white soft clothes with silk waistband, which flaunted her good figure and brought out her fresh and refined sense.
The girl in the memory who he had just met...seemed to come back. Gong Yu became infatuated with glowing fire in his eyes...
Yun Muxi looked at Gong Yu's glowing eyes and reminded, "Can I do this? Or I'd better not!"
Gong Yu came to himself and retracted his ardent eyes. He sank his voice and said, "You look perfect and feel free to act Zhen Ai who you've described. You don't need any acting skills. Just see Zhen Ai as yourself and tell yourself that you're Zhen Ai."
It seemed that Gong Yu's words had double meanings, which made Yun Muxi more sacred. Gong Yu felt Yun Muxi's emotion and added immediately, "What I meant is to ask you to act naturally, not deliberately. After all, you're not the leading actress and the camera will not shoot you at all. You mainly need to play up to me and support me."
Yun Muxi nodded mildly. Gong Yu led Yun Muxi to the filming site. Everyone was busy. Although the setting was still in the leading actor's room, the changing scene made some details quite different. So the setting needed rearrangement.
Gong Yu led Yun Muxi to Zhao Yi directly when Zhao Yi lowered his head and discussed with the photographer. The photographer firstly found two more pairs of feet in front and raised his head to take a look, but he was completely stunned...
Zhao Yi was speaking to him when he found there was something wrong with the photographer. He looked up, only to see the photographer's shocked and thrilled expression. The photographer opened his mouth wide--wide enough to tuck an egg in, and his eyes kindled with uncontrollable excitement! Zhao Yi follow the gaze, and he was stunned, too...
He stood up, paced to and fro in front of Yun Muxi, and looked her over with excitement. He wore a delighted smile with his eyes full of surprise and thrill as if he had discovered something valuable. He said with satisfaction, "Oh my! I almost can't recognize you! Unexpected...really unexpected! You really amaze me! Perfect! Perfect! Too perfect!"
Zhao Yi rambled in his words. But the amazement nearly drove him crazy. To exaggerate it, he was as crazy as a person passed the civil exam.
Zhao Yi shouted wildly at He Xin, who just passed by in the distance, "Lao He, come and see! Come on!"
After hearing Zhao Yi's words, He Xin felt puzzled why Zhang Yi became so excited. She walked toward Zhao Yi with doubt. But before she got closer, Zhao Yi could hardly wait to exclaim, "This, this is a tailor-made Zhen Ai. Come and have a look. Come on..."
Zhao Yi's voice was so loud and excited that it attracted many staff on the filming site. They all wondered why he became so fevered. Some of them came to him puzzledly after hearing his words.
When they saw Yun Muxi, everyone was struck dumb on the spot, like a fixed picture.
After a momentary silence, various exclamations and praises sounded.
"Who can tell me whether it's a dream or delusion? It's really shocking!"
"Oh, my God, this...this is Yun Muxi! I can't believe it. She is really amazing!"
"Dear me, this Zhen Ai seems to walk from the story, and she can surpass 100 Di Sisi without a doubt..."
"Yes, indeed. On the first day of shooting, Ding Sisi spent the whole day making up, even invited Tina, the superb make-up artist to help her. Even so, she cannot compare to Yun Muxi who just spent one hour."
"That's incredible. I am completely confused... She is my goddess."
"Yun Muxi is really good at hiding herself. She is obviously a stunning beauty. Why does she always dress like a common girl?"
"That's called low-key. It's absolutely shocking. It refreshes my aesthetic standard."
"I think Yun Muxi should be the leading actress. She needn't do anything but just standing there. It's awesome already."
"Did Yun Muxi create Zhen Ai by modeling after her own image? She is simply portraying herself."
...
Voices rang on and on. Yun Muxi's appearance completely amazed everyone on the spot.
Seeing the staff gathering together and giving praises, Ding Sisi curiously walked toward them to see what happened. When she saw the scene, her face flushed with anger. She felt totally unbalanced--she had spent one day in getting a satisfactory makeup, but Yun Muxi just needed less than one hour before she could appear perfectly. Ding Sisi was wild with jealousy. But she was Ding Sisi. How could she admit that she envied others? Her pride would not allow her to do so!
Ding Sisi uttered with sarcasm, "Yun Muxi, you're rather photogenic with the makeup. How much benefit did you give Amy? That day, did you intentionally ask Amy not to do makeup for me well? Did you await an opportunity to show yourself? You always dress rather rustically. But today do you intend to make a grass-roots counterattack to impress everyone? You really play a good trick as a master killer. How scheming you're! What are you scheming for?"
Upon hearing it, Gong Yu became grave with a ferocious look in his eyes. He was about to utter when Zhao Yi spoke firstly, "Ding Sisi, you should admit that you're jealous and you're not qualified. Who are you saying such ironic words to?"
Ding Sisi was on the edge of losing her temper. But she thought that Yun Muxi would foil her and became her stepping stone after the performance. At that time, Zhao Yi had to make an apology to her and beg for her return. And some of her friends were on the way to the filming site. They would arrive very soon. In a while, there would be more onlookers... Anyway, she was a movie queen. At the thought, she refrained anger in her heart and stepped aside to wait for the play.
Ding Sisi looked at her phone, seeing that some of her friends and representatives in her fans club reporting progress in the chatting group. It would not be long before her supporters came. At that time...
Ding Sisi laughed in her heart and thought, "Yun Muxi, there would be some fun of you. Want to upstage me? In your dream..."
Yun Muxi was quite timid and said waveringly, "Director, I'd better not. I have never acted before!" Zhao Yi was still in the excitement and comforted with a laugh, "Xiao Xi, it's okay. Take it easy. You just help Gong Yu to play. Don't put too much pressure on yourself. We haven't replaced the female protagonist with you." In fact, Zhao Yi thought, "If she acts well, I can let her have a try. After all, her image is very good." On second thought, he was a little disappointed. "She is just a screenwriter. How could she perform well? I thought about it too simply." Seeing Yun Muxi still boggling, Gong Yu lowered his head and muttered, "If you want this play abortive, quit it." Hearing the word "abortive", Yun Muxi made up her mind instantly and allowed Gong Yu to lead her to the room where the scene had been set. At the moment, a crowd of people entered the filming site, found Ding S
The black Bentley drove so fast that a sudden brake could not stop it, but continue to charge, almost hitting Yun Muxi... A young soldier beside leaped over a car and dashed toward her like a flash light. He held Yun Muxi in his arms and rolled sideways. That hurtling car squeezed past them and halted two meters in front of them finally. Fortunately, the soldier rescued her in time. But for his agility and fast speed, Yun Muxi had been certainly knocked down by the car. The picture that both of them were flying away like a parabola made people around close their eyes. They heard the sound of suddenly braking, but not the clang of crashing and falling down. So they opened their eyes with curiosity, only to find that the woman who had dashed around madly was in a man's arms, lying two meters diagonally behind the black Bentley. The man was dressed in an army uniform. Because of Yun Muxi, the crossing was in a mess with the serious traffic jam. In the black
Lu Yang said casually," I had nothing to do, so I'm popping by the kitchen to take a look. Your back view looked especially good under the sunlight, so I took some photos. I'm just bored and trying to find something to do." Yun Muxi did not question him anymore. She turned around and continued with what she was doing. Lu Yang returned to the sofa and flipped through the pictures he just took. Although Yun Muxi's face was not shown, her thin and weak figure sparked his urge to protect her. Her peaceful back view gave off a light refreshing feeling that made others want to know her more. He flipped to the last photo. It was the only one that showed her face. She was turning her head naturally and casually, with no tint of deliberateness. Her defined features needed no further enhancements. Although she was not smiling, her beauty was more than enough to behold, especially her big eyes. They were black but bright and were as clear as lake water. They seem
Gong Yu got up quickly and took big strides towards the door. When he opened it, two slightly swollen eyes met his. Anxiously, Yun Muxi was standing in front of him. When she saw Gong Yu, her eyes immediately lit up, as she saw hope. She asked earnestly, "Gong Yu, please help me!" Gong Yu was startled. He quickly asked, "What's wrong?" Yun Muxi was at a lost. With her big eyes, she stared at Gong Yu piteously as tears rolling down. "Niannian has a fever all of a sudden, it's as high as 40 degrees now. I waited for half an hour downstairs and did not see any taxi. I tried to call Xuanxuan but I could not reach her, and Yichen went abroad on business. I really have no choice. Don't you have a car? Can you please drive us to the hospital?" After listening to Yun Muxi's plead, Gong Yu turned around, putting on the coat that he grabbed off the clothes stand. He then swiftly picked up his car key and wallet and closed the door. He
Yun Muxi saw what happened and took the prescription from Gong Yu. Softly, she said, "I'll go instead." After paying and getting the medicine, they returned home. Niannian dozed off after eating the medicine. Both Yun Muxi and Gong Yu remained silent in the car ride as they were too occupied with their own thoughts. There was a fog in the car, and the quietness made them uncomfortable. At 3 am, they finally brought Niannian back to the apartment. Gong Yu laid her gently on the big bed while carefully covering her with a blanket. He sat by the bedside and gently caressed her forehead. His inner struggle made him want to yell out with her head on her crossed arms. He wanted to spoil the cute child in front of him, but he felt unbearable pain because she was like a poison sting in his heart. Two mixed feelings pained him. Yun Muxi came up behind him quietly. "Thanks for what you did tonight! Now that Niannian's temperature has dropped slightly, I can
This was his first memory of her... That night, he sat by the table to read. He became tired and put the book down. He walked to his bed and was just about to change into his pajamas when he shockingly found a beautiful woman on his bed. He had been reading in his room since after having dinner. He never left the room, and nobody came in. He was very confused and even suspected that she snuck in while he was too engrossed in his books. He then called the secret guard on duty who was hiding in the dark, Dong Fangying, to question. Dong Fangying answered in a low voice, "Sir, no one came in." The other three secret guards, Xi Fangchi, Nan Fangjing, and Bei Fangye all answered the same. If no one came in, then how did this woman appear on his bed out of nowhere? This confused him even more. If one person made a mistake, it did not make sense for everyone to make a mistake! Besides, he and the four secret guards had all underwent special trai
When Gong Yu was immersed in memories, Yun Muxi woke up. She opened her eyes and saw Gong Yu's good-looking face. He was looking at her with a faint smile. Instead of her, he seemed to look at a very distant place through her. Yun Muxi called gently, "Gong Yu?" Gong Yu came to his sense and fixed his eyes on Yun Muxi. The little woman was more mature and calmer than ever before. Gong Yu said tenderly, "Yeh, Are you awake? Niannian's fever has gone!" Yun Muxi looked back at Niannian who was on the bed and reached out her hand to touch her forehead. She confirmed that the temperature was normal and gave a long sigh. She turned his head and said to Gong Yu lightly, "Go to brush your teeth and wash your face. I'll give you a set of toiletry and prepare breakfast. You can go back after having breakfast." Gong Yu shook his head lightly, "Don't bother. I will go back to wash my face and rinse my teeth. I can chang
Zhao Yi called He Xin and the Assistant Director Wang Hao to a small meeting room. He said first, "What's your idea about the character Zhen Ai?" Wang Hao said with a little excitement, "Today, Yun Muxi's performance is so extraordinary. I'm stunned by her. At ordinary times, she is too common. To my surprise, she has such a beautiful appearance and wonderful acting skills." He Xin also agreed with a nod. "Xiao Xi was well done. Unexpectedly, her performance is several levels higher than Ding Sisi's performance several days ago. Ding Sisi indeed has a good foundation but that was a few years ago. In these two years, she is somewhat overproud and she doesn't act as seriously as before. This time, she is obviously excessive." Director Zhao nodded and said hesitantly, "Today, Xiao Xi's performance is really outstanding. But, I'm worried that her performance will not be stable because she is not a professional. If she just outdoes
Lu Yang also saw Murong Yunxi and Gong Yu and also felt a little bit shocked. He stepped forward to greet them. "Xiao Xi, Gong Yu, why are you here?" Murong Yunxi looked at Lu Yang with a smile. Many years had passed by, the past had gone with the wind. Lu Yang was just one of her good friends and they seemed to be more comfortable in this way. "Yeah, we came for a movie, but I didn't like it, so we left before the ending!" Subsequently, Murong Yun turned to a woman behind Lu Yang who looked familiar. "Lu Yang, is this your...?" Lu Yang put on a bitter smile. "Oh, you know that I am in a situation of being forced to get married. This is a girl that my big brother introduced to me for a blind date." Lu Yang had nothing to hide because he had no intention to get married to this woman, so he shared his thoughts directly to avoid any misunderstandings, let alone he had no intention to make her his girlfriend. This woman did not rea
Twelve years later. "Luoluo, come to help me!" Lying face down on her big bed, Murong Niannian complained to her good friend through her mobile phone. She was simply so depressed inside. Yan Chuluo was Murong Niannian's best friend, and their friendship was very solid. Although Yan Chuluo was five years older than Murong Niannian, Murong Niannian, a mature girl, did not have any difficulty communicating with her. Their relationship was even more harmonious than those of her peers. "Well, my dear girl, I'm too busy to attend to you now. I even don't have any leisure for myself," replied Yan Chuluo, who was reading the latest military newspaper on a closestool. Yan Chuluo actually could not attend to her talented friend at the moment because she fell in love with a man. More exactly, she fell in love with him in secret only at one glance. "Well, you just went to receive military training. By the way, your grandfathe
S City— The doorbell was ringing outside. After finding that it was a courier delivering a parcel, Gu Yuxuan answered the door and signed for the delivery. After closing the door, Gu Yuxuan leaned against the door, overwhelmed by sadness. The express delivery belonged to Yun Muxi, which should be her admission letter according to the mailing address. However, Yun Muxi had disappeared for almost a month. Gu Yuxuan stood with her back against the door and slowly slid down on the ground as her tears kept falling down. Gu Yuxuan held the parcel and put one hand on her knees, covering her eyes with the other. Her tears streamed down through her fingers, and she cried silently. In fact, she had cried countless times this month. Father Yun had gone to Africa and kept working after arriving there, so that they were out of touch. Neither could she convey the news of Xiao Xi's disappearance to Father Yun, nor did she know how to tell oth
The bottle was in the shape of a gourd and was smooth and delicate. What was the most special part was the handle of the bottle, which was also made of a little gourd. The two gourds were cleverly connected by a vine. It looked like the bigger gourd was holding the small one while the small one wrapped onto the large one. The lip was the root of the vine, showing a natural and smooth combination. The bottle's shape was delicate and refined. Every detail showed unique ingenuity, subtly revealing a sense of tenderness in its mellow lines. The two gourds were like a mother and daughter. The mother showed her infinite love for her daughter, while the daughter relied on her mother. The two were made of crystal-white porcelain, while the vine was lush green with no extra impurities. Duanmu Gongyu opened the lid and extended his nose to smell it. A rich smell of wine rushed to him with a faint fragrance like a kind of flower. Duanmu Gongyu could not tell what it
Duanmu Gongcheng felt somewhat shameless upon seeing Duanmu Gongyu's shock, and he lowered his head to say, "It's my fault! I am too... I hope you don't blame me." Duanmu Gongyu felt happy to remedy the misunderstanding with his brother and nodded while saying, "I don't blame you, Big Brother. I have arranged for my people to deal with those bad guys. You don't have to be worried." Duanmu Gongcheng could not adapt to this change and still felt embarrassed at the moment. He said, "Third Brother, you've just come back, so I came to check on your injury. Since you're fine, I should not bother you. You're so tired after a long journey. Have a rest and I will come to visit you later." Then, Duanmu Gongcheng asked to leave in a hurry. Nanny Wu suddenly felt embarrassed when only Duanmu Gongyu, Yun Muxi, and she were there. She said in a hurry, "My Lord, you should have a rest and I will go to prepare food for you. You must not have e
After pausing for a moment, Duanmu Gongyu stared fixedly at Hei Ye as if he had something to say. Hei Ye was confused by Duanmu Gongyu's actions and wondered if he had a problem, but he dared not to ask Duanmu Gongyu if the fear that he would enrage Duanmu Gongyu, who had been in anger during the past several days. Looking as if he had made up his mind, Duanmu Gongyu cleared his throat and his face blushed as he said with an unnatural expression, "Hmm... it seems... Xiao Xi... is angry at me..." Duanmu Gongyu stuttered as he did not how to express his thoughts, but the long-lasting cold war between Duanmu Gongyu and Yun Muxi made Hei Ye understand Duanmu Gongyu's meanings at once. Hei Ye said to Duanmu Gongyu in embarrassment, "Your Highness, I didn't have any experience in dealing with girls, so, I don't exactly know how to solve this, but... usually, in such a situation, men should take the initiative to coax women. Don't feel shy to do th
Yun Muxi felt at ease enjoying such a peaceful and beautiful moment. Her parents had been busy with their work and left her alone at home since she was a child, and luckily, she had a good friend, Xuanxuan, accompany her; otherwise, she would have left a lonely life. She was quite satisfied that now Duanmu Gongyu accompanied her, took care of her, and loved her. She enjoyed the peaceful moment quietly. ... At sunset, the carriage arrived in Xinyang City. As soon as they entered the city, Duanmu Gongyu sensed something strange. He said to Hei Ye in a cold tone, "Hei Ye, put on your guards." Since Duanmu Gongyu always had a keen instinct, Hei Ye put on his highest guard at Duanmu Gongyu's reminder. Lan Yun surveyed around warily and looked out for everything that would happen. Hei Ye drove the carriage to a tasteful hotel, which was neither the biggest one nor the most luxurious one in the city. The reason why he chose such an in
Before walking long, Yun Muxi came across Duanmu Gongyu. She cast her anger behind her back and said to him happily, "Look, Gong Yu, I found a puppy. Isn't it cute?" Duanmu Gongyu was allergic to animals, especially furry ones. He measured the puppy with a frown and a look of disdain. As if the puppy had sensed Duanmu Gongyu's hostility against it, it barked at him in a wary way. Duanmu Gongyu furrowed his eyebrows even deeply. A long while passed, and he finally replied, "No, not at all. It is not that friendly to me." Yun Muxi defended the puppy hurriedly by saying, "No, it's just too small and afraid of strangers." In Yun Muxi's arms, the puppy barked at Duanmu Gongyu warily once again. Still in a frown, Duanmu Gongyu said in a cold tone, "It does look unfriendly. It warned me to stay away from it." Right then, the puppy barked at Duanmu Gongyu several times more in a warning way. Yun Muxi stroked
The time needed for an incense stick to burn passed by in the blink of an eye. Lan Yun indeed came over carrying two big handfuls of skewers. Since they were in the wilderness and they had never seen how modern-day skewers looked, although the skewers he made were somewhat close, it was still different from the modern-day ones. The wooden sticks were thick, and the meat cubes were also bigger. The shapes were not cut into long shapes as they do in the modern world. Lan Yun's skewers looked more like tanghulu. But Yun Muxi was still amazed that he could deliver such great results so quickly. "Lan Yun, if I bring you to where I came from, you could earn quite a lot just by making lu chuan! You're basically god-speed." Lan Yun felt awkward after hearing it. He had put in so much effort to equip himself with all these skills just for him to go there and make lu chuan? This Miss Yun had such a wild imagination. Hei Ye was very alert
