29 Miss Director (1/2)
”Latest chapter!”
Bai Muchuan's words reminded Xiang Wan.
For an online novelist, updating their latest chapters were more important than their life!
Hence, Xiang Wan automatically ignored her embarrassment, pride, as well as Bai Lu's cold treatment, and stayed in the guest room of the Bai residence. She locked the room and started working on her latest chapter within the privacy of the room.
Huff!
It was peaceful, quiet, and empty. She felt so reassured.
Xiang Wan was using Fang Yuanyuan's laptop, so it was not as smooth.
She slowly wrote:
The nights at the detention center were long and cold; not even a hint of summer heat could permeate through.
Ah Sheng sat alone in the dark, his figure small and fatigued. It was another day of endless interrogation,his willpower had almost deserted him.
The soul drew away, and he thought of death.
Maybe death would be the best way to escape from it all.
Death! Death! Death!
The few scary words made his heart beat violently. He thought of him again.
That day in the early spring, green leaves had just sprouted from a branch, and the grass were rustling in the wind.
He drove in with his bulky SUV and smiled at him. ”Are you Ah Sheng? Your boss says that you're pretty good with cars?”
Later, they got to know each other better. ”My car is in your hands,” he said, ”pal, do a good job.”
They became more familiar with each other consequently. ”I'm leaving everything to you,” he said, ”brother, do a good job. Old rules apply, you'll be duly rewarded!”
Oh, he trusted him so much.
So much trust that he sent himself to hell.
When Ah Sheng thought about his trusting face, he smiled and struggled to stand up for a good look at the detention cell.
This was the place a murderer lived, and there was nothing that could send him to his side.
Ah Sheng's smile got deeper.
Looking at the wall, he suddenly closed his eyes and banged his head onto the wall!
…
Ah Sheng did not die.
There was a chain latched onto his feet which limited the impact, so he only fainted.
When he woke up once again, there was a beautiful woman sitting in front of him.
She smiled at him. ”Congratulations for another chance to start your life.”
Congratulations? What else is there to congratulate about? he thought.
Ah Sheng gulped, attempting to moisten his dry mouth. ”Why are you here again?”
He remembered this woman. She had come to the detention center with Detective Fang Yelan. She was gorgeous, but her gaze was sharp as knife, as if it could pierce open his skin and reveal his bloody heart. Every word of hers seemed to dismember a part of him, leaving him no choice but to face up to his deplorable past…
”I'm here to see you, and to encourage you.”
Her voice was very gentle, but Ah Sheng shuddered under her gaze.
Ah Sheng could not take it. He shut his eyes firmly, his voice quavering as he spoke, ”I'm not protecting anyone,” he murmured, ”please go away. I don't want to see you.”
”You do need me,” she said, ”your soul needs redemption. You won't be able to escape no matter whether you're alive or dead. I'm the only one who can help you.”
”I have nothing to say. I don't need any help, either.”
”Are you really sure?” The woman gave a soft chuckle, as if a magic spell had opened the Pandora Box that was stowed away deep down inside Ah Sheng's heart. ”For instance, why did you court Er Niu so persistently, yet you've never actually loved her?”
Ah Sheng's eyes were wide-opened in that instant while looking at the woman who was wearing a faint smile before him.
She was like a devil who had, once again, cut open his blood-soaked heart.
”Ah Sheng, love is an innate ability of human beings. You have it too. No matter who you love, it is not a sin…”
…
Knock! Knock!
There was knocking at the door.
Xiang Wan's train of thoughts were interrupted, and she felt slightly annoyed. She had nearly forgotten that she was not at her own place.
”Who's that?”
Nanny Li's voice, with a somewhat apologetic tone, was heard from outside. ”Teacher Xiang, Young Master Bai wanted me to send you some tea to let you freshen up your spirit.”
Freshen up my foot!
Xiang Wan rubbed her head and shuffled to the door wearing the slippers. ”Thank you, Nanny Li,” she smiled awkwardly to receive the tea, ”please help me thank Young Master Bai.”
Nanny Li smiled and waved, then helped close the door.
Xiang Wan puffed a sigh. She placed the tea on the table with a despondent face, and continued her work without taking a sip of the tea.
This time, she took at least 15 minutes before she regained her momentum as halfway through, she was nearly pulled away by news of a certain famous star who committed adultery. It was not easy for her to get back on momentum. When she finished that chapter, 40 minutes had past.
The time indicated on the laptop was 11:58 p.m.
It was a race against time. Every second counts!
Xiang Wan uploaded her chapter in an amazing speed. The editor was awesome as well, the chapter was approved in seconds. Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please clickfor visiting.
Finally, Xiang Wan managed to update the chapter before midnight at 11 o'clock, 59 minutes, 59 seconds sharp!
”Haha!” She stretched herself. ”I managed to update in time! I'm too awesome!”
The comments urging her to update in the book review and comments section were about to drown all other normal comments.
Xiang Wan finished her update and started to look through the comments and found a lot of speculation about the case as well as the daily ”battle” between the RongFang ship and the RongGu ship fans…
Very interesting!
The readers' imagination was often greater than the author's.
They dared to think about anything, as if a heavenly steed soaring across the skies, powerful and unrestrained.
