Ahri hummed as she flipped through the script, "That's because you're not good enough, not because you're adhering to male virtues."
A hint of hurt flashed across Liang Xu's face. He looked away dejectedly; he was heartbroken.
Ahri regretted saying that; it was just a slip of the tongue. "Sorry, I didn't mean it."
“I know it was my fault. I thought that telling you that kind of thing would make you pity me, accept me, and leave a place in your heart. I was wrong.”
Liang Xu stood up and left.
Ahri opened her mouth but didn't shout; she lowered her head and continued reading the script.
Next, we'll film the scene where the character is about to be hit and killed.
Liang Xu also has a new assistant, a chubby little girl who is very cute.
During breaks, Liang Xu would sometimes stay in the lounge and sometimes leave.
Liang Xu was also present when filming the scene where he was hit by a car.
But when he plays a high and mighty emperor, the little palace maid who ran over and killed him is insignificant in his eyes, like an ant, without the slightest ripple in his eyes.
Consort Jing cried bitterly because the little palace maid had died in front of her, and she decided that she must escape from this palace.
Ahri's scenes end here.
The director of the show also gave Ali a red envelope and said, "Not bad, keep up the good work, the future is promising."
After wiping the blood off Ahri's forehead, she greeted the crew, saying, "Thank you for your hard work, everyone. I'll be going now."
Liang Xu remained in the lounge and did not come out.
Ah Li didn't go to check on him; she didn't want to hurt him.
But if there was no future for her and him to begin with, she couldn't just dump Su Shuai and start dating him right away.
Ahri said she's an adult, why should she have to make a choice? She wants both!
Just then, someone shouted, "Zhu Li!"
Ah Li looked up and saw Lin Lianlian.
Lin Lianlian even came over and said, "Why didn't you tell me you were filming here?"
"I can't get in touch with you."
A blush crept onto Lin Lianlian's face. She looked at the black sedan parked on the other side and said, "President Mai wants to see you."
Ah Li got into the car. This time, she didn't sit in the passenger seat, but instead sat next to Boss Mai.
Mr. Mai was putting the watch he had just taken off back onto his wrist when he said, "You've taken on another role?"
"Yeah, I got a small role."
"That's good. I'll have someone give you a script in the next couple of days."
"Thank you, Mr. Mai."
"However, you must bring her with you to the film set."
Mr. Mai looked at Lin Lianlian standing outside the car. She wanted to act, and he had money to promote her.
"good."
Ahri responded without any emotion.
Mr. Mai then said, "I'll have someone transfer your payment for these two roles to you."
It means he won't let anyone take a cut.
"Thank you, Mr. Mai."
"Okay, you can go now."
Okay.
Ah Li was happy to receive all of her payment.
She also wanted to visit Chen Yue and pay some money there.
Lin Lianlian seemed to know what they were talking about all along. After she got into the car, she waved to Ali in a very friendly manner.
Ah Li waved back, and seeing the bus arrive, she boarded it.
This bus passes by the mental hospital. After it stops at a nearby station, it's another seven or eight minutes' walk to get there.
The environment in the mental hospital was quite nice, with many caregivers keeping people company while they basked in the sun.
Chen Yue sat alone in a chair, holding an orange silk scarf in her hand, which she used to weave a flower.
When Ali came over, Chen Yue wanted to tie the silk scarf around Ali's neck.
Ahri sat obediently while Chen Yue tied her up, and Chen Yue was very happy after she finished.
Ali said, "Auntie, after a while, I'll buy a house and then bring you home."
Chen Yue shook her head and said, "This place is very good, the environment is good, and the doctors are good too."
Chen Yue didn't want to leave this place. Her past, and the people she had been connected with back then, had been arrested, but they would be released one day.
When that time comes, she and Ah Li will be living alone and will be harassed by them.
Chen Yue raised her hand and fiddled with the silk scarf around Ah Li's neck, saying, "That Xiao Su sometimes comes to see me too."
"Little Su? Commander Su."
"Yes, he's a very good person, Ahri. Do you like him?"
Chen Yue looked at Ah Li very seriously.
Ahri nodded, "I like it."
"I heard you're living together now."
Ah Li replied, "Yes."
Chen Yue's expression twisted for a moment, as if she were about to have a seizure. She suddenly stood up and shouted, "It's different! It's different!"
"Auntie."
Ah Li tried to step forward, but Chen Yue shook her head and said, "Don't come any closer!"
Ah Li is different from her. It was Ah Li who misjudged people and loved the wrong person, which led to bad things happening to her and her sister. This does not mean that Ah Li will suffer the same fate.
A caregiver nearby looked over, and another patient seemed about to have a seizure.
Chen Yue suddenly started humming a song, her voice slurring like a theatrical performance or a song, her hands swaying along with it, as if she hadn't lost control but was simply preparing to sing.
Finally, Ali escorted Chen Yue back to her ward. Chen Yue wanted to tell Ali that all men are bad and not worth trusting. But when she thought about how Su Shuai had helped call the police and brought them, Ali wasn't as cowardly and incompetent as she and her sister.
Back then, if Ahri hadn't knocked the man unconscious with the TV and opened the door, she wouldn't have had a chance to kill him.
"Ah Li, you must take good care of yourself. Don't make someone your everything. You must live for yourself."
