Chapter 56 - Spring Festival (1/2)
Chapter 56: Spring Festival
“Do you guys know Qi Ming? He’s the male lead in my new movie,” said An Wen.
The entire group turned silent. In a faint voice, Ye Xiaoxing asked, “Is he next to you right now?”
“Yes.”
Another pin-drop silence.
‘Our image is ruined…’
Qi Ming did not dare to open his mouth as well.
“Lil Sis An, why don’t you go over to the other side?”
‘We’re going to destroy you today!’
“I’ve already started the game,” said An Wen.
It was too late for Qi Ming to quit. The others who wanted to change their username were also left with no choice.
Hence, Qi Ming noticed Xia Wei’s in-game persona, Cai Wenji, was nicknamed Super Daddy! Ye Xiaoxing’s nickname was the Violent Ragger! Cheng Hanwen’s avatar was called the Sword Saint! Even An Wen’s in-game nickname was strange; she was the Big Sister Shooter!
What a ridiculous group!
Qi Ming started questioning his life after joining the game. It was an easy feat for An Wen to take down the five of them all by herself. Her gaming skills were almost on par with the professional gamers, with her seemingly “carrying” her teammates and assisting them throughout the game. Meanwhile, the rest of them only knew of throwing insults at each other the whole time!
The previous impression Qi Ming had of them as proud superiors had been completely shattered. “Hilarious” would be the best word if he were to describe what he thought of them now.
Since then, Qi Ming became one of their fixed teammates. Once again, Xia Wei had succeeded in leading another innocent person astray.
The main leads getting along well was definitely beneficial to the production crew as they could speed up the filming process.
The last scene of the filming process was about Chen Lin coming to question Xiao Ying in order to make things clear with his wife. The two of them were given makeup, providing them with a more mature appearance.
Xiao Ying happily opened the door and let Chen Lin in.
Chen Lin, who was standing on the other side of the door, had a solemn expression on his face. However, Xiao Ying who was bubbling over with excitement let him in without noticing anything unusual.
Chen Lin entered the house while suppressing his anger. Xiao Ying closed the door behind her and went to fetch him a glass of water.
“There’s no need for that. I just came over to talk things out,” said Chen Lin in a cold tone.
“What’s wrong, Chen Lin?” asked Xiao Ying after realizing he was acting strange.
“That was my question! Have you forgotten what you said to Nana today?” asked the agitated man.
Chen Lin stood in front of her like a stranger. Xiao Ying felt like she had been splashed a bucket of ice-cold water from the top of her head. He was now someone else’s husband! The person he loved was Nana!
“Chen Lin…” she called out to him, yet she was unsure of what to say.
“We’ll be strangers to each other starting today. I’ll forget about you, you’ll do the same about me,” said Chen Lin coldly.
“Chen Lin, I…” Xiao Ying wanted to say something before she was interrupted.
“I don’t mean to be harsh to you. After all, we’ve known each other since we were young, but I hope that you’ll distant yourself from Nana and myself.”
Then, Chen Lin turned around for the door. Xiao Ying went for his hand but he swung his arm forcefully.
Chen Lin left without another word. Xiao Ying stared into the distance through the opened door; tears started running down her cheeks.
“But I didn’t say anything, I know it’s only my own wishful thinking.”
“All I did was apologize to Nana…”
She flopped down on the couch and cried her heart out. Memories from her past life came flooding into her mind. The grief quickly overwhelmed her, making her wish she was dead.
It was her who threw away everything that she ever had, everything…
She curled up into a ball on the couch. Her shoulders trembled as she wept and eventually she fell asleep.
“Cut!” shouted Wu Yan.
Success on the first take!
Everyone at the scene was crying their eyes out, even the cameraman had tears in his eyes.
