Upon seeing this message, Mu Wenxi instantly snapped out of it and immediately jumped out of bed.
The original owner of this body, Wen Nanyin, acted in this play in her previous life. Afterwards, she was always a little depressed and couldn't get out of character for a long time. She dared not say that Wen Nanyin's death was definitely caused by this play, but it was definitely related to it to some extent.
Mu Wenxi typed rapidly: "Approximately how long will the filming take?"
Wen Nanyin: "About half a year. In the early stages, we may need to observe some patients with depression."
Mu Wenxi calculated the time: "I will probably come back at the end of the year. Let's make an appointment then if we have time."
Wen Nanyin: "Okay, take care of yourself."
Mu Wenxi: "You too!"
Mu Wenxi put down her phone, feeling somewhat anxious. She needed to speed up her research, improve her skills, and strive to return to China as soon as possible.
Two weeks later, Wen Nanyin joined the film crew, along with his assistant and Sister Ping. However, Sister Ping did not stay for long. After watching the film for about a week, Sister Ping's expression became increasingly unpleasant.
Ping Jie: "This drama is very depressing from beginning to end. It seems we need to find some psychologists for Xiao Yin."
Assistant: "My brother hasn't been in good spirits these past few days. He hasn't said a word except for the script."
The two looked worriedly at Wen Nanyin not far away. The character he was playing was being bullied by his companions. Even if it was just some pranks, it was still a real experience for the actor, such as a basin of water being suddenly poured on him.
At four in the morning, the night shoot ended, and Wen Nanyin silently returned to the hotel, looking exhausted. After quickly tidying up, he buried himself in the covers.
At the end of December, Mu Wenxi returned to China. Her parents took time out of their busy schedules to pick her up, but after learning about the movie Wen Nanyin was going to film, she was still a little worried about him.
As soon as Mu Wenxi landed, she called Sister Ping: "Sister Ping, is Nan Yin on set?"
Ping: "You're still here. I guess you haven't finished filming today's scenes yet. I'll have my assistant take you there."
Mu Wenxi arrived at the film set by car. When she came to visit the set, Wen Nanyin was filming a scene where he was being beaten. Wen Nanyin was in a corner wearing a somewhat dirty and tattered school uniform, tightly hugging his head, his eyes full of panic and fear. Several thugs, also wearing school uniforms but dressed in a somewhat roguish manner, surrounded Wen Nanyin.
Director: "Cut! That look was good. Take a break."
The actors dispersed, and several thugs who played the assault immediately surrounded Wen Nanyin, checking to see if he was injured: "Are you alright?"
Wen Nanyin slowly got up from the ground and dusted himself off: "It's nothing, it's nothing."
His assistant immediately handed him water, and the makeup artist rushed over to touch up his makeup after he finished drinking. The assistant then secretly ran to Wen Nanyin's side and whispered, "Brother, someone is looking for you in the lounge."
Wen Nanyin nodded and went to the lounge. He opened the door to see who it was, just as Mu Wenxi heard the noise and turned around.
Mu Wenxi immediately stood up, leaned closer to look at his face, and said with some concern, "A-Yin."
Wen Nanyin closed the door with a happy expression: "Xixi, what brings you here? Did you just arrive today?"
Mu Wenxi: "Yeah, I came to see you as soon as I got off the plane."
Wen Nanyin: "Please sit down for a while. I have one more scene to film, it will be done soon."
Mu Wenxi: "Okay."
Wen Nanyin quickly finished filming his scenes for the day. A group of people surrounded and beat him. Wen Nanyin huddled in a corner, occasionally letting out muffled groans. To make it more realistic, the actors performed the beatings themselves, and the blows actually landed on the actors.
Mu Wenxi felt a pang of sadness watching from the side, and touched her chest.
Director: "Cut! That's enough for today."
Wen Nanyin stood up and bowed: "Thank you, Director."
Wen Nanyin gestured for Mu Wenxi to leave together: "Alright, let's go eat."
Mu Wenxi reached out and pressed Wen Nanyin's lips: "Does it hurt?"
Wen Nanyin: "It doesn't hurt. It's makeup, not real."
Mu Wenxi: "Aww."
Wen Nanyin: "I'll go change my clothes first."
Mu Wenxi: "Okay, I'll wait for you."
Wen Nanyin put on a mask, tidied herself up, and came out. The makeup on her injured face had been washed off.
Mu Wenxi: "So all of these were painted on."
Wen Nanyin: "Do you really believe it? By the way, shall we go to your favorite restaurant?"
Mu Wenxi: "Okay, okay."
Inside the private room.
Wen Nanyin ordered Mu Wenxi's favorite dish: "How long are you planning to stay this time?"
Mu Wenxi: "I'll be going back soon. This time I only have a few days. I had to beg and plead with the teacher to let me come back for a few days."
Wen Nanyin: "I see. Then I'll see you off on the day you leave?"
Mu Wenxi: "No need, aren't you still on set? Just act well, I'm waiting to see your movie."
Wen Nan lowered his head, hiding a hint of unhappiness that crossed his mind: "Okay, you must come and see it then."
Mu Wenxi stayed at home for a few days before rushing back to school. She was determined to graduate quickly and return to China as soon as possible, while Wen Nanyin continued filming.
In the following months, Mu Wenxi and Wen Nanyin continued to keep in touch intermittently. Sometimes she was busy and replied quickly, and sometimes she replied a little slowly.
On the day Anan told those around her about the school bullying and was met with nothing but incomprehension, Wen Nan asked Mu Wenxi in a teasing tone, "When are you coming back?"
Mu Wenxi told him, "It will be soon; the project is already more than halfway done."
Wen Nanyin was somewhat disappointed: "Okay."
On the day A'Nan suffered from depression, Wen Nanyin asked Mu Wenxi again, "When are you coming back?"
Mu Wenxi: "Soon, probably in a while."
Wen Nanyin wondered, "How long is 'a period of time'?"
On the day Ananda committed suicide, Wen Nanyin felt he was about to collapse. He asked Mu Wenxi, "Xixi, are you coming back soon?"
Mu Wenxi: "What's wrong? I estimate he'll be back in two or three months."
Wen Nanyin: "It's nothing."
He didn't tell Mu Wenxi that he wasn't feeling well. Gradually, Wen Nanyin sent fewer and fewer messages. Mu Wenxi just assumed that Wen Nanyin was not replying promptly because he was on set, but she always felt a little uneasy.
On the day filming wrapped, Wen Nanyin stood in the crowd, not quite realizing it. Had filming already wrapped? Was it all over?
It seems so. Ananda has also ended his life. In these seemingly short six months, he has become Ananda. Sister Ping is very worried.
Wen Nanyin said, "It's okay, I'm fine, just a little tired."
After working tirelessly for several months, Mu Wenxi finally finished her two-year study abroad program and received her graduation certificate.
Teacher: "Congratulations."
Mu Wenxi: "Thank you. I wouldn't have been able to finish this without your help."
Teacher: "It's all thanks to your own efforts. What are your plans after you go back?"
Mu Wenxi: "I've already received invitations from universities, and I expect to teach and conduct experiments there in the future."
Teacher: "Have a safe journey."
