A gust of wind blew off the man's hat, revealing his bald head and the striking Taotie pattern on his forehead.
The man seemed to sense something and looked up, his cold eyes meeting Gu Baiwei's through the glass, but he couldn't make out the person's face because of the reflection in the glass.
He glanced at it only once before turning away and hurrying off.
In the brief moment of eye contact, Gu Baiwei broke out in a cold sweat. It was him, the strange man from the cable car back then. Why was he still alive?
When she first returned, she looked through the news from that year, which clearly stated that no one on the cable car survived; they were all burned to ashes. Yet now she could clearly see the person who should have died.
The moment she came to her senses, she took a step and ran downstairs.
"Hey? Weiwei, where are you going?"
Du Qingyan was startled by her sudden action and instinctively took a step to chase after her.
When Gu Baiwei ran downstairs, panting, there was no sign of any men on the first floor except for Su Peipei.
Where did the person from earlier go?
She stepped forward and grabbed Su Peipei's wrist, her voice urgent.
"What? Now you want to portray yourself as a kind person? Too late, the old man is long gone."
Su Peipei shook her off, swayed her waist and walked upstairs with a smug look on her face. Although losing several hundred yuan was a bit painful, seeing Gu Baiwei's regretful and disappointed look made her feel much better for some reason.
"Sister Weiwei, what's wrong?"
Du Qingyan chased after her and saw Gu Baiwei standing there, her body trembling slightly. She couldn't help but ask.
Gu Baiwei shook her head, her mind gradually clearing up. Perhaps that person, like her and Ye Yunting, had also been reborn?
On the second-floor staircase, Shen Xuan silently observed the scene before him before slowly withdrawing his gaze.
Su Peipei happened to pass by him, her gaze unconsciously falling on him, her voice soft and sweet: "Brother Chen."
"roll!"
Shen Xuan uttered a single word without any hesitation and turned to go upstairs.
In front of someone like Su Peipei, he didn't even bother to pretend, revealing his disgust without reservation.
Su Peipei stood there stunned for a moment, biting her bright red lips, her eyes filled with resentment: "Isn't he just a pretty boy? What's with the attitude?"
...
The next day, the production team's official Weibo account posted the costume photos of the main actors online.
Su Peipei got up early in the morning, excitedly, to go online and see how popular she was.
Yesterday, she used her connections to buy herself some attention. Although she couldn't compare to her cousin Su Muqing, she wanted to at least outshine Gu Baiwei.
As a result, upon opening the official Weibo account, one would see a series of comments praising the male and female leads.
Even the top trending topic was about Shen Xuan and Su Muqing.
Who can blame them when they're the male and female leads, and they have powerful backers?
Su Peipei scoffed dismissively and continued scrolling down, thinking to herself, even if it's not number one on the trending topics, it should at least be number two or three.
She was full of confidence, but as soon as she scrolled to the third trending topic, her hand suddenly froze on the spot.
How could this be? How could Gu Baiwei, a completely unknown newcomer actress, be trending on social media? And people are even praising her for her stunning beauty? How is that possible? Her beauty is all thanks to makeup. She might even have had plastic surgery.
Su Peipei dismissed it, but couldn't help clicking on the trending topic.
The comments below were all from fans, praising the artists.
"Ahhh, Princess Sister, I love it so much."
"I love crazy, beautiful women, sister, kill me..."
"Where did we find this amazing young lady? She's also the number one winner of a super singing competition. She's talented and beautiful. I love her so much."
...
Su Peipei scrolled down a few more pages, getting angrier and angrier, and slammed her phone on the table with a loud bang.
After sulking for a while, I turned my phone back on and promptly switched to my alternate account to leave a string of comments below.
"That guy is just average-looking, but you can tell he's had work done on his nose."
"Participating in Super Singer is just using someone else's name; who would believe there's no powerful backing?"
...
After a flurry of activity, I felt instantly refreshed and went back to find my trending topics.
I scrolled down several times before finally finding the one about myself at the very bottom of the trending topics list.
The comment section had very few comments, and there were even several negative comments saying that she was ugly.
Su Peipei was even angrier. That vixen-faced woman might be all about technology and ruthless work. If she got some work done, she might be prettier than her.
Just as she was fuming, Du Qingyan's exclamation suddenly came from next door: "Ahhh, Sister Weiwei, you look absolutely stunning in this picture! It's even third on the trending topics list, so amazing..."
Su Peipei's forehead veins bulged as she walked over and kicked the wall hard: "What are you yelling about so early in the morning? It's so noisy! What's so great about trending on social media... Ouch, that hurts! It's all that bitch's fault!"
There was no reaction from those around her after that kick; instead, she injured her own foot. Her face immediately darkened. One day, she would make that bitch pay.
Suddenly, she remembered something, limped to her feet, and walked out the door, using the wall as a support...
Gu Baiwei didn't sleep well last night and had nightmares all night. She wanted to sleep in, but Du Qingyan woke her up early this morning.
"Sister Weiwei, I'll treat you to a delicious meal to celebrate. Get up quickly."
Du Qingyan excitedly dragged Gu Baiwei out of bed and pulled her towards the door.
"Wait, can't I go out dressed like this?"
Gu Baiwei was speechless. How could this girl be more excited than she was about to trend on social media?
"Yes, yes, hurry up and change your clothes, I'll go out and wait for you."
Du Qingyan immediately scurried out, closing the door behind her. Just as the door closed, a scream rang out: "Aaaaah...who was so heartless as to pour oil on the floor?"
