Jiang Yunli's hand fell limply, and she stopped breathing.
At this moment, Jiang Yuyao realized with absolute clarity that his elder sister had truly left.
Tears welled up in her eyes and dripped onto Jiang Yunli's face. Jiang Yuyao gently wiped them away.
As if he felt his hands were unclean, he frantically wiped them with clean clothes, almost rubbing them until they bled.
Jiang Yuyao carefully combed Jiang Yunli's hair, shook off the fallen hairpins, and put them back into Jiang Yunli's hair.
He was talking to Jiang Yunli, but how could a dead person hear him?
So, he finally had the chance to speak out what he had kept buried in his heart for so long.
He continued talking to himself, oblivious to the approaching sunset.
"Elder sister, there is something I've wanted to tell you for a long time."
"I... I've liked you since I was little, I like you a lot, but don't be afraid, and don't hate me."
“You are the most beloved princess of the Emperor, a golden branch and jade leaf. I am just an unfavored prince. I know that we are worlds apart, so I only dare to watch you from the shadows. Sometimes I feel that I am not even worthy to look at you.”
"Over the years, everyone has said that I've been living a life of debauchery and carefree living, but that's not true."
"I learned a lot. I learned to fight back, I learned how to fight, and I learned how to protect you secretly without you knowing."
"You'll never know that I've remembered the hand you reached out to me for fifteen years."
He poured his heart out to her, but she would never respond to him again.
Yes, the dead can't understand what the living say, so how could they respond to them?
But what if he dies too?
Can you hear me?
Will you hear me?
Who knows?
Maybe.
Jiang Yuyao gave a self-deprecating laugh, tears welling up in the corners of his eyes and dripping into his bleeding wound, yet he felt no pain.
His elder sister is most afraid of pain.
Jiang Yuyao picked up the dagger he had given to Jiang Yunli, took one last look at her, and with all his might plunged the dagger into his own heart.
Fearing that he wouldn't get what he wanted the first time, he stabbed him in the back again.
"Sister, don't be afraid, I'm here to be with you. I will catch up with you."
As he closed his eyes and fell, his short twenty years flashed by like a revolving lantern, but all his memories remained fixed on that year when the snow was falling heavily.
He remembered the warmth of her palm and the comfort that her fox cloak left him with. The protection she gave him that year was enough for him to remember for a lifetime. He would give everything without regret.
He and the person he most wanted to touch died in the prime of their lives.
This was an ending he had never imagined. If he could, he would have wished for his elder sister to live a happy and peaceful life.
It's not possible in this life, but it must be possible in the next.
"Cut! Excellent!!!!"
Jiang Yi was full of praise for the performance, and the people outside the theater also applauded.
Many people were even brought to tears by the emotional distress.
The acting was good; Lu Jingchu watched the whole thing.
As soon as the director yelled "cut," Shen Shiqing stood up abruptly, shook off the sand, and acted as if nothing had happened.
She gets into character quickly and gets out of character just as quickly, returning to normal and reverting to her original form.
The scene that had just been so brutally cruel was in stark contrast to Shen Shiqing's current reaction.
I drank a lot of water after coming out, and my mouth was dry, but it was still worth it for the final result.
Seeing the director's and the people around him's reactions, as well as Lu Jingchu's approving look, Shen Shiqing knew that she had hit the mark.
But what about the people of Qin's Moon?
Shen Shiqing looked around and finally found someone lying on the spot. Without a doubt, it was Qin Shiyue.
Lying there motionless, has she fainted?
Shen Shiqing walked back and bent down to look at him, calling his name a few more times, but he did not respond.
Oh no, could he be too immersed in the role to get out of it?
Shen Shiqing called him "Ayao" a few times, and he immediately opened his eyes. When he saw Shen Shiqing, he excitedly hugged her.
"Royal sister, you're not dead, are you?" Her voice sounded quite aggrieved.
It seems he really got too into character.
But before he could hold her for long, Lu Jingchu came over.
"release."
"I won't let go."
I'll say it again.
Upon seeing Lu Jingchu in modern clothes, Qin Shiyue was momentarily dazed before finally snapping out of her daze.
Slowly releasing Shen Shiqing, Shen Shiqing was able to escape.
"I'm sorry, Sister Shi and Brother Lu." Qin Shiyue herself didn't know why she had acted that way just now.
"It's okay, you acted well, you just got too into character. You need to adjust your state."
"good."
Seeing that he didn't seem to be in any trouble, Shen Shiqing left with Lu Jingchu.
After removing my makeup and changing my clothes, it was already 8 p.m.
I got back to the hotel at 8:30 p.m.
Shen Shiqing ate dinner, went back to his room and took a shower. As soon as he came out, he heard Manman knocking on the door.
Shen Shiqing opened the door and let her in.
She came in carrying a bunch of Coke and snacks.
"Sister Shi, Sister Shi, the debut results are about to be announced! Come and see!!!"
Hearing Manman say that, Shen Shiqing then remembered that today was the debut night of "Produce 100".
The production team had originally invited her to the show, but due to a scheduling conflict, she had to decline.
Xia asked her about it yesterday, but since we can't go to see it in person, we can watch the live stream now.
So we quickly turned on the TV and sat down on the sofa with Manman to watch it together.
He kept snacking, but his anxiety remained unabated.
Her little ones absolutely have to debut!!!
There are many shady dealings in these talent shows. Shen Shiqing believes in their abilities, but he is afraid of behind-the-scenes manipulation by capital.
But so what if there are underhanded dealings in the capital market?
Shen Shiqing left himself a way out, and he also left them a way out.
A month ago, Shen Shiqing terminated his contract with Huaijiang Entertainment. Fortunately, he hadn't signed the contract for long.
Besides filming, she has been preparing for the company's affairs during this period.
She wasn't joking. Going out on her own and not getting a cut of the profits couldn't be better. After all, nobody's money grows on trees.
Anyway, those kids are all self-employed. If they're going to sign with a company, they might as well sign with her. She'll definitely not treat them badly.
Of course, it also depends on whether those little guys are willing.
"Sister Shi! Sister Shi!!!" Lin Man was so excited she almost jumped up. "Look, look! They're about to announce the rankings!!!"
The show first announced the rankings of the remaining contestants. Shen Shiqing didn't hear the kids from her previous group, which was good, as it meant they had a high chance of debuting.
"Who do you think will debut, Sister Shi?" Lin Man asked Shen Shiqing, using her fist as a microphone.
“I think it’s… my group.” Shen Shiqing believed them.
"I agree, they're both talented and good-looking! Looking forward to it!"
A voice came from the television, announcing the ninth place.
"Let's congratulate—student—Yuan Shuchen." The host's voice was drawn out, and the camera panned to Yuan Shuchen, who breathed a sigh of relief and walked with his head held high to his seat.
He delivered his unique acceptance speech.
After listening, Shen Shiqing could only say, "It's good to be cultured; it makes a difference when you speak."
Finally, a domestic boy band has emerged with some culture.
Then, the winners of the 4th to 8th places were announced.
They are Lin Rujing, Gu Yu, Jiang Lu, Qi Yuan, and Shuo Qi.
The top three have not yet been announced, but based on their consistent popularity and rankings, those are basically the ones who have been chosen.
It's just a matter of ranking.
The first place goes to Si Binghe, which is well-deserved. No one should disagree that he debuted in the center position, and his calm personality is indeed very suitable to be the leader.
The second place winner was Sang Yiming, and a round of applause erupted from the audience as soon as the announcement was made, indicating that he was indeed quite popular.
As a fan of hers, Shen Shiqing felt relieved and gratified.
Sang Yiming even thanked her in his speech, and Shen Shiqing said that her heart was warmed, but she did not notice that a bunch of "Yi Jian Qing Xin" CP fans were passing by in the barrage.
There's no objection to the third place; it's Lianyungang.
They're debuting as a group! These guys really make her proud.
Shen Shiqing expressed his pride.
The nine of them eventually formed a limited-time boy group, KNINE, and officially debuted.
Their two-year group career has begun.
This season of Produce 100 has come to an end.
Streamers fell from the sky and landed on them, their eyes glistening with tears.
Shen Shiqing was happy for them, and her eyes reddened.
After the live broadcast ended, Shen Shiqing was exhausted. He turned off the TV, saw Manman off, and quickly fell asleep.
That evening, while she was having a sweet dream, several friend requests appeared on her WeChat.
Yes, it's those little guys.
