Although my role as the deaf-mute evil monk has already been removed, the cast of the Magic Cauldron is still extremely busy. It proves that the earth continues to spin even without you.
Auntie Ren told me that even though my scenes are over (unless the deaf-mute evil monk is turned into a zombie and resurrected), I can still visit the set if I have a relevant personnel pass. She told me to work hard on my conversational English so that she could recommend me for more important roles.
This … is full of arrangements for me to make for a bright future ah! Is she worried I'll become a loafer who doesn't work and beats his wife at home?
I appreciate her good intentions, but I'll pass. On one hand, it's because I've completely given up on my English ability. On the other hand, it's a production funded by Americans. It clearly has a Near Eastern setting, but Easterners can only play minor roles or villains. It hurts my noble patriotism and makes me very dissatisfied.
If I continue to take on roles, not only will I be kicked by Ai Mi (that's nothing), but I might also be kicked by Kyle! I ran to the washroom since I have no intention of getting any more roles. I passed by the bamboo forest where I first met Su Qiao.
Everyone was busy on the set and there was no one around, so it was strangely quiet. I was inspired by nature and wandered around the green sea, but I saw a familiar figure sobbing next to the rockery.
Su Qiao, who was wearing casual clothes, had thin shoulders, and had long black braids. I'm not sure why she was sad.
The phone on her wrist was still lit up, as if she just finished a call with someone.
Did she get scolded? Was it a family that doesn't understand her, or a bad tempered friend?
I didn't know how to comfort her, but I still walked over. Su Qiao stopped crying when she heard my footsteps.
When she saw it was me, she rubbed her red eyes and said in a low voice: "I'm sorry."
Huh? What do you have to apologize to me for! On the other hand, it's rude for me to peek at you crying!
"It's because I'm ashamed to be seen like this by Mr. Ye …"
Compared to before, Su Qiao seemed more reserved when she spoke to me.
I wasn't used to a girl who was three years older than me calling me 'Mr. Ye', so I suggested:
"Don't call me Mr. Ye anymore. The past is in the past, it'll shorten my life if you keep being so grateful to me!"
Su Qiao blinked in confusion. "Then, what should I call you?"
"Take 'you' away from me too! There's no need to use honorifics with me. "
I said half-jokingly, "Those people who sell insurance to you use honorifics every day. In the end, they're just trying to harm you!"
As if someone had hit the nail on the head, Su Qiao's lips twitched and a trace of panic flashed through her eyes.
I continued, "You're three years older than me, so just call me Xiao Ye, that's normal."
Su Qiao repeated in a low voice, "Xiao Ye …"
"En." I nodded, "How about I call you Qiao jie?"
Su Qiao quickly declined, "This, this is not good! You … no, just call me Su Qiao, I'm not qualified to be your sister … "
No matter what, I managed to correct most of the way I addressed her. I sat on the fake mountain with Su Qiao and asked her why she was crying.
"If Ai Mi bullied you …"
"No, it's not her." Su Qiao interrupted me, then immediately corrected herself, "No! No one bullied me! I still have a lot of scenes for my role and there's no problem with my life! I … I'm grateful … "
I talked with Su Qiao for a while, but in the end, I didn't understand what she was worried about.
Just as I was about to leave, she stopped me from behind and hesitated for a while before saying:
"Xiao Ye, I … am I a very bad woman?"
"Huh? Why do you say that? "
"Aren't you? I didn't listen to my parents and ran away from home to become an actor. In order to get a role, I … I even went to sleep with you … "
"Forget it, everyone has moments of confusion." I persuaded, "Aren't things progressing in a good direction now?"
Su Qiao pulled her long braid in front of her body and combed it with both hands while looking at the lake in the distance.
"Sometimes I think, if you didn't reject me that night, it might have been a good thing."
I was silent for a while, "How is that possible?"
Su Qiao slightly raised her head and I saw a flash of a sad smile.
"If that was the case … then I would hate you, and I wouldn't be as hesitant as I am now …"
I couldn't understand what Su Qiao was trying to say. I only felt the atmosphere was getting weirder and weirder. Combined with her abnormal actions at the buffet yesterday, I had a bad feeling.
What does she mean by sleeping with me is a good thing! What hate and love? She couldn't have really fallen for me, right? Crisis! A huge crisis! I had to escape quickly, if this atmosphere continued, she might confess!
Thus I used the excuse of having diarrhea and that I was going to shit my pants, then I quickly ran out of the bamboo forest.
Su Qiao revealed a relieved yet despairing expression when she saw me run away. Even after a long time, that moment was deeply engraved in my mind.
— — That's why young people shouldn't casually fall in love!
I was planning to go home after lunch, but I received a text from the class leader. It was different from Xiao Qin's text that was filled with emojis. The class leader's text was completely composed of Chinese characters and didn't use any frivolous emojis.
"Don't tell anyone about what happened on Friday, otherwise, please always stay at least 100 meters away from me."
100 meters? Isn't 100 meters the effective range of a normal shotgun! Are you really going to execute me! If I tell anyone that I spanked your butt, would you not hesitate to kill me to wash away this shame?!
Fortunately, you don't know that after you fainted, I shamelessly touched your thighs, held your feet, and almost forcefully pushed you … If the class leader knew about this, I probably wouldn't be alive right now!
After a while, it was another text from Shu Zhe. He first typed a string of sinister emojis, then he proudly announced:
"I won't be blackmailed by you anymore. Please prepare ¥500 and give it to me on Monday."
F * ck! Are you rebelling! How dare you speak to me like that when you wear strawberry panties in school! If you didn't eat the wrong medicine, then there's something wrong with your head!
I called back furiously, but the number was not in the service area. I don't know where Shu Zhe was fooling around.
I was hesitating about what to do next when I unexpectedly bumped into a red-faced Director Cao.
