That night after having dinner with Xie Wei, Bai Shiying's dreams became clearer, as if some fog had been cleared, allowing her to see the truth.
There weren't many clear fragments in the dream. The children from before gradually disappeared, and what entered my dream was a man and a woman embracing each other on a mountaintop as they faced the sunrise.
The scene then shifts to a high school, where Bai Shiying sees a young girl walking into the campus. It seems that with each step she takes, there are intermittent whispers around her.
Bai Shiying couldn't hear what they were saying, but looking at their ferocious faces, she could only sense that they were spewing hurtful words.
But the girl seemed fearless, still holding her head high and walking forward with determination, as if something, like a faith, was supporting her.
Sure enough, before Bai Shiying could reach the finish line alone, she saw a hand take hers. It was that unruly young man who embraced the girl. Those who had been rude gradually left the scene.
Releasing his embrace, the boy continued to hold the girl's hand and walk forward. He turned around, a smile slowly blooming on his face, softening his sharp features. His hazy smile held a hint of doting affection, peacefully enveloping the girl completely.
Bai Shiying felt that the girl was extremely happy.
Before Bai Shiying could continue observing, the world spun around her, and she found herself sitting in a taxi. She didn't know her destination, but her heart told her that she was going to meet someone very important.
Before they even reached their destination, a truck came crashing straight into the taxi as it turned a corner. In an instant, the front of the taxi was about to make intimate contact with the car...
"Huff... Hah... Huff..." Bai Shiying woke up with a start, panting heavily as she looked around. Seeing that she was in her own room, her tense nerves finally relaxed.
Her clothes were soaked with cold sweat, and her nightgown clung to her fair skin, outlining her beautiful figure.
However, now is not the time to admire the scenery.
After a quick wash, Bai Shiying stepped onto the ground with her slender feet, wrapped in a bath towel. Standing in front of the mirror, she touched her face, now ready to analyze the events of her dream.
Strangely, Bai Shiying remembered everything clearly, but when she tried to recall the faces of the boys and girls, she couldn't remember their features. She also couldn't determine what role she played: the female lead? A secret admirer? An observer?
Bai Shiying vaguely seemed to see Xie Wei's face. It wasn't as mature and refined as it was now, but it was impeccable for a young man. What role did Xie Wei, who could evoke her memories, play in this? Was he that young man?
Xie Wei had never really thought about where her feelings for him came from.
Bai Shiying took a sip of warm water, looked up at the ceiling, and realized that her feelings for Xie Wei hadn't become clearer but rather more confusing.
Today is her last day on this set, and also the wrap-up of filming for "Rebel Night".
Bai Shiying was still shaken when she got into the car, but she quickly composed herself.
Upon arriving at the film set, Bai Shiying went to her own rest room after filming, as her scenes with the male and female leads were about to begin.
Bai Shiying was still pondering the things in her dream when the door was pushed open.
"Zhuge?" Bai Shiying frowned slightly, her thoughts interrupted, and she seemed a little upset.
Zhuge Qing entered the room with a smile, holding a bouquet of flowers. "Shiying, happy wrap-up of filming!"
"Thank you," Bai Shiying said with a smile as she accepted the flowers and placed them on her dressing table.
"Is there anything else?" Bai Shiying looked at Zhuge Qing, who was standing at the door, with a hesitant expression.
Zhuge Qing seemed to have done a lot of mental preparation before finally managing to say what he had prepared: "That's right, I'm not getting any younger, my family is pressuring me, and I don't have anyone I like around me."
Upon hearing Zhuge Qing's words, Bai Shiying frowned slightly, but Zhuge Qing seemed not to notice and continued speaking on his own.
"I was thinking of finding someone to pretend to be my girlfriend and take her home to meet my parents, so they'll stop pressuring me. You're my only close female friend, so I'm wondering if you can help me with this."
"Sigh," Bai Shiying sighed. Zhuge Qing was in the same company as her and had helped her a lot when she first entered the industry, so she had always regarded him as her good friend.
I regret to decline.
Zhuge Qing was somewhat stunned.
"Leaving aside the question of whether this kind of thing will happen once or twice, let's just say that if you find someone you like in the future, will that person mind?"
"Besides, you should have discussed this matter openly with your aunt and uncle, instead of thinking that simply having someone pretend to be your girlfriend would solve the problem."
"But..." Zhuge Qing wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by Bai Shiying's words.
"Zhuge, I think we can only be friends," Bai Shiying said, her words clearly indicating her refusal.
“…Hmm…You’re right…I’m sorry for bothering you.” Zhuge Qing looked dejected, and his words sounded strained.
After saying that, Zhuge Qing left Bai Shiying's rest room.
Even as he closed the door to the rest room, he would still look up at Bai Shiying.
It took Zhuge Qing half a year to secure a place among Bai Shiying's friends, while Xie Wei had only been in Shanghai for a month.
He could then obtain the status that he had spent half a year to achieve, and compared to himself, his purpose was more obvious; judging from Bai Shiying's expression, she didn't seem to be opposed to it.
That's why Zhuge Qing felt a strong sense of crisis. Because of this, he even sought out the bastard who had kidnapped his sister to come up with a plan, which led to today's test.
