We walk through our lives step by step.

And who doesn’t have a hard time, who doesn’t have bumpy experiences?

She ate her rice mouthful by mouthful. The two had a tableful of dishes that they sat eating for a long time, and they were both stuffed after the meal.

They were ready for the rainmaking.

At the director’s words, a large-scale water wheel was started and the artificial rain fell down. It was late autumn now, no matter real rain or just water, it made people very cold.

Yan Huan patted her clothes then walked into the rain curtain without hesitation, letting raindrops fall on her body. After just a moment her clothes were soaking wet. She could only stand stiffly, with her hair and ever her eyelash totally soaked.

She ran forward, the rain curtain following her.

Suddenly, she stumbled and fell. Then she got down on her hands and knees with her chest heaving. At that moment, others could understand her sense of desolation just by watching the scene.

She experienced a lot and felt exhausted in her heart.

Until the moment she knew…

Everything was fake.

She laughed suddenly, teardrops falling along with the raindrops.

“Cut…”

The director put down his hand, and the rain stopped.

Yan Huan stood up, her clothes were so wet that she could squeeze water from them. And of course, her part was over already.

She went off, took her bag, and entered a restroom to change into the clothes that she brought in her bag. She needed to rush to another set as soon as possible.

However, she stopped and lowered her head, hiking up her trouser legs when she saw the serious wounds on her knees.

“Huanhuan, are you OK?” Yi Ling was waiting for her outside with an armful of things. “We need to go to the next set.”

“Yes, just a minute.” Yan Huan readjusted her dress and went outside, then she took the things in Yi Ling’s hand, her exquisite lashes drooping.

“Let’s go.” She stepped forward, but felt pain in her knees.

Yet, she was still smiling. She paused suddenly, looking at the set where all the staff were very busy, and clenched her hands. She told herself that she would appear before audiences like those stars soon, instead of just standing in for a few scenes.

They worked on three sets throughout the day. It was at night that they finally ended work. Yi Ling was so sleepy that she fell asleep on the sofa.

Yan Huan carefully covered her with a piece of clothing, then opened the door and left.

In the hospital, a doctor used sterile water to disinfect the wounds on her knees, and Yan Huan put up with the pain without a sound.

“How are you hurt this badly? You should have come to the hospital earlier, it’s easy to be infected in this weather. ” The doctor said, dealing with the wounds. “It’s painful but you deserve it.”

Yan Huan just smiled, and no one saw the look in her eyes.

She touched her eyes, and found there were no tears. She was unable to cry.

“OK.” The doctor prescribed medication for her, “all of them are anti-inflammatory, take them on time, and don’t let your wounds go in water for a few days.” Then he added tetanus vaccination to the prescription.
