Early the next morning, Yun Muxi sent Niannian to her kindergarten and went to the filming site in a hurry.
On that day, she needed to do the first scene that Ding Sisi had done before: Zhen Ai went to the college reunion and impressed everyone present. The beauty of their class, Lu Yuxin, thought that Zhen Ai stole her spotlight and therefore wanted to retaliate. She asked Zhen Ai to drink wine as the punishment of her being late. Zhen Ai had no head for wine and was totally drunk after drinking a bottle of it. Her friend Tang Xiaoxuan brought her home and accidentally traveled to another space and disappeared.
As Yun Muxi entered the dressing room, Amy, who had been waiting there for her long, said hello to her with a smile as she saw her. "Xiao Xi, here you are! Hurry, I'm ready to do your makeup. Today, I'll be able to avenge myself."
Yun Muxi could not understand her words, so, she asked, "Avenge yourself on what?"
Amy explained to her with a smile.
Although Xie Ning and Ding Sisi were not colleagues, it was so-called "the enemy of my enemy is my friend." At first, Xie Ning and Ding Sisi had competed for being the heroine, so they were competitors. And then, Ding Sisi was selected to be the leading actress while Xie Ning was descended to be the supporting role. Naturally, Xie Ning was rather discontent about Ding Sisi, but she dared not mess with Ding Sisi for fear of her background. Therefore, although Xie Ning did not turn against Ding Sisi openly, she still felt unpleasant toward Ding Sisi. Now Ding Sisi had left, and all the hatred and hostility undoubtedly fell on Yun Muxi who had replaced Ding Sisi. This was where Xie Ning had her secret ambition—if others would do something to Yun Muxi that she desired to do, all she needed to do was just getting profit by sitting on the fence. Without doubt, Xie Ning got Yun Muxi and Gong Yu in the picture. And their incompatible facial expressions could easily cause much imagina
"Xiao Xi, actually, today I came to tell you, I like you. I fell in love with you the first time I saw you..." Lu Yang paused for a while, his face flushing. He was very nervous but his countenance was quite earnest as if he had been carrying out a tough task. Lu Yang became more determined and continued to say, "I have never been tempted by any girl before. But I fell in love with you the first time I saw you. You may think that I am too hasty, but I just want to follow my heart. And I don't want to miss the girl I really like. Xiao Xi, I like you very much!" Facing Lu Yang's unexpected confession of love, before Yun Muxi herself responded, two huge "icebergs" behind her had generated "ice" maximally. They had no time to deal with their tit-for-tat race, but glared at Lu Yang tacitly, and then scanned Yun Muxi with inquiring eyes. This was a heart-in-mouth moment. Mou Yichen could not help asking in a low voice, "Will Xiao Xi say yes to this man?" Gong Yu did n
Yun Muxi said angrily, "Why do you suddenly break in? Don't you know that you just illegally entered my house?" Gong Yu laughed out and thought her even lovelier. He teased her in a good mood. "I just wanted to know why you've been avoiding me all the time. Have you done anything bad to me?" Yun Muxi squinted at Gong Yu and answered with a guilty conscience, "No! I haven't done anything bad to you!" However, just as she spoke so, she realized that she fell into his trap and yelled angrily at him. "Gong Yu, you broke into my house, how could you question me instead? There is nothing between you and me!" Gong Yu showed an evil smile and continued teasing her. "What... if I want to do something bad to you now?" Yun Muxi's heart skipped a beat and asked him nervously, "What... do you want to do?" Gong Yu drew near to her and leaned one elbow on the sofa on her right side with the other hand lifting her exquisite chin. He asked her with a smile, "What d
Gu Yuxuan chuckled. "Niannian relies on you so much. Apart from Yichen, you are the only person who can make her so. She lives with Xiao Xi and isn't close to men. Yichen is the first man that she is close to, and now, you're the second." Gong Yu's expression changed slightly as he heard Mou Yichen's name. He was stabbed in the heart again and frowned with unpleasantness. "Why is Mou Yichen so special to Niannian? could it be that..." Niannian hugged Gong Yu by his legs, raising her little head and looking at Gong Yu with her bright eyes. Her big grin lit up the surroundings. At that moment, Gong Yu was overwhelmed by a feeling of pain and tender love, not knowing how to face her. As he was lost in thought, the doorbell rang. Gu Yuxuan heard the ring and went to open the door as Gong Yu leaded Niannian to the living room, holding her hands. Gu Yuxuan opened the door only to see Tong Nan jump to her with a big smile. The girl wrapped her in a big hug and s
Tong Nan had been living overseas for a few years. In addition, her mother was an American. Hence, her thinking was not as conservative as local girls. In response to Gong Yu's straightforward rejection, not only did she not flare up or break down into tears; she seemed to not be bothered at all. She stood up and spoke in a confirmative voice. "It's okay, as long as you know that I like you, that's enough. It doesn't matter that you don't like me now, I believe that one day you'll fall in love with me! I also know that you might be interested in sister Xiao Xi, but she had assured me that she does not want to think about personal relationships at all. She also said that you're not her cup of tea, so it's impossible for you guys to get together. The best way to cure a breakup is to get into a new relationship. Isn't it a good choice to get together with me? I can help you to forget about that bitter one-sided love and make you fall in love with me! Isn't that killing two birds with o
Mou Yichen did not reply immediately and started to gulp down the beer. After half a bottle, the bitterness of the beer was just like his heart's. They both made him drunk. A faint sorrow spread across his face. With a heavy disappointment, he started to tell his woe. "Back then, we were still at City S. I was in my first year of high school, and Xiao Xi was in her second year. Xiao Xi is older than me by three months, but she is one year ahead of me; she's my senior. We both represented our level to take part in a math competition in the city and I saw her almost tripping over a manhole cover. She almost fell into it and sprained her leg. I quickly pulled her out of it and that's how we met." Mou Yichen gulped down a few mouthfuls of beer and continued, "Xiao Xi used to wear a very crazy black-framed glasses and she always wore the uniform plainly, hiding her glow. But she was good at studying, she would always get the highest marks for all subjects. Every year, she w
The two men were now fighting without thinking. They seemed to not hear Yun Muxi and continued to throw punches and kick at each other. Mou Yichen took advantage of good timing and did a side-kick, which landed on Gong Yu's heart. A suffocating pain started to form instantly but Gong Yu did not stop. Enduring the intense pain, he continued to dodge Mou Yichen's attacks. Initially, Mou Yichen was able to take his attacks easily, but soon he realized Gong Yu had some skills. Gong Yu was quick and flexible, he had many big moves and they were all spot on. He was not an easy opponent. Mou Yichen was out of it for a moment and Gong Yu sent him stumbling backward with a continuous kick. Eventually, Mou Yichen could not hold it in anymore and fell backward. Watching the whole scene unfold, Yun Muxi ran forward and held onto Gong Yu, pulling him backward with all her strength. She scolded him sternly, "Gong Yu, you're going overboard. How could you beat him up like that?"
Yun Muxi stood at the door quietly, watching Gong Yu drink the water that Tong Nan gave him and Tong Nan even wipe the water on the corner of Gong Yu's mouth attentively. Tong Nan was careful and considerate like a newly-married pretty wife. Yun Muxi was startled by this thought, and her heart dropped a beat. Tong Nan's sweet smile pierced her heart as if she had been punched by a bodkin. Yun Muxi put down her hands silently, turned around and walked to the end of the corridor. At the other end of it, Seventh Brother returned with a shopping bag and saw Yun Muxi hurriedly going downstairs. He walked into the ward with some confusion and asked casually, "Did Xiao Xi come here?" Tong Nan and Gong Yu lifted their heads and looked at Seventh Brother, puzzled. Seeing their expressions, Seventh Brother guessed they did not know it, so he said, "I caught a view of someone's back. It looks like Xiao Xi. Perhaps I was wrong!" Gong Yu frowned and recalled what had happene
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
