Chapter 224 Movie (1/2)

”Bestie~!! Oh my god!” The moment Rika Song saw Lexi, she glided to her with an excited grin and she scrutinized Lexi from head to toe.

”Gosh! How can you do this to me? Making me look like a backdrop even with all this makeup on me?” After their cheeks met, Rika frowned as she peered at her simple attire yet, it didn't make her less noticeable.

”I'm envious!”

”Rika, if only you know how stunning you look tonight— you won't say that.” Giggling back, Lexi coaxed her envious friend who was instantly persuaded with that.

”Well, were besties after all so we should look beautiful together, right?” Grinning brightly, Rika winked as she gestured to Lexi for them to take their respective seats in the front row.

Along the way, Lexi bowed and greeted the people present before the movie could even begin. She exchanged pleasantries along with other cast and Director Arnold Shen. Soon, before the movie would start rolling, Lexi sat where her name was placed— next to Elliot Gong on her left.

However, her brows raised as the seat on her right side was vacant with only a nametag ”investor”, nothing more. Despite that, she thought there was a mishap of the arrangement of their seats, Lexi didn't dwell on it as Churu sat on the unoccupied seat instead.

”Hehe, maybe they know I need my own seat so they left this one empty— I am an investor after all,” Churu uttered as she comfortably sat next to Lexi.

When the movie started rolling, the whole theater room fell into a peaceful silence as every one attentively watched the film. The setting of the movie was a modern fantasy with a little bit of sci-fi that instantly revealed with the drone shot as an opening.

The first scene was Rika Song wearing a white plain dress looking up to the bright sky in the middle of the plains with a bittersweet smile on her lips. Unlike her gorgeous look tonight, she looked innocent and pure on the large screen. As she uttered her words, there was a sudden change in the atmosphere and the blinking sun slowly collided with darkness—

*BAAAM!*

Unaware, Xue Yingyue was still mesmerized at the scene above that she was oblivious of the woman silently appearing behind her: it was Chang'e, Lexi's character.

The first half of the movie, after Xue Yingyue had a brief encounter with the silly and odd Chang'e— it was focused on her, entering the biggest city and her journey to be a well-known government body— fighting for her nation in the brewing war with the opposing nation.

As she became one of the elite law bodies and soon the first female general leading hundreds of thousands of military forces— she became pals with Long Yutao, Elliot Gong's character. However, on one of her missions to infiltrate the enemy's base, she was put in a difficult situation with Gael Zhang's character, Xie Jing Xing who was the son of the president and also the general of the rival country that led her to disguise herself as an innocent civilian.

Xie Jing Xing was ruthless, cold, and cunning or that's what he displayed to be. Unlike Xue Yingyue who fairly attained her position with her genius mind and strategic capabilities— Xie Jing Xing, on the other hand, reached his current position with a strong conviction that only he knew with the help of being the son of the leader of the nation.

Unbeknownst to Xue Yingyue, the more she interacted with Xie Jing Xing, her loathing towards the man reduced as she came to know him better and slowly unraveled a mindblowing scheme as to why these two nations turned at odds.

Meanwhile, as Xue Yingyue was trapped in a predicament inside the enemy territory, Elliot Gong's character, Long Yutao did the best he could to rescue his beloved. As he does so, he was accidentally entangled with Lexi's character, Chang'e, while she was out looking for her husband.

Due to some circumstances, Chang'e became more and more entangled with Long Yutao as he introduced her to modern food and stuff— riding along with her silliness.

Unaware of his growing fondness to the weird Chang'e, Long Yutao found himself one day looking for the strange woman that disappeared without a trace after the bombing incident.
