Chapter 43

“Oh, sorry, I’m so sorry. Please don’t move. I’ll help you massage! I’ll help you massage!”

Ning Huanxin stood up, lifting her hand and wanting to massage Jiang Lixing’s leg. Jian Lixing was so scared by her actions that he suddenly stood up and left.

“No worries, I should… go out for a while.”

Ning Huanxin, “…”

Why did you run? The most Sister had was the heart, but not the guts to do it!

Being successful at scaring off Best Actor, Ning Huanxin was left alone in the tent. She could not help but check herself out in the mirror.

Was she not pretty? Why was Jiang Lixing scared out of his wits?

Oh! The ‘Nation’s Husband’ did not like women?

Just as Ning Huanxin’s thoughts ran wild, somebody lifted the curtains of the tent again.

“Jiang…” Ning Huanxin turned around and saw Zhang Yan entering the tent, her expression much more peaceful than earlier.

“Little Yan, you’ve finished rehearsing with Brother Qin?”

“Sister Ning.”

Zhang Yan took one look at Ning Huanxin before smiling shyly. “Yes, B-Brother Qin is indeed a nice person.”

“True, Brother Qin is well known to be the good man in this industry.”

Ning Huanxin lifted the chair that fell off to the side and waved Zhang Yan over to sit beside her. “It’s not the time yet. Let’s go through our lines again.”

Actually, there were not many lines to begin with, but the duo was afraid that they would screw up. So they analyzed their lines numerous times, expressing them differently each time.

Stars littered the sky, and the bright moonlight cast its reflection on the surface of the water, causing a silver glow engulfing the entire river.

There were two scenes that day. The Director hoped to get all of them filmed so it would be easier to film the female protagonist’s parts later on.

After ensuring that everything was ready for filming, Ning Huanxin and Zhang Yan went to the riverside.

“Don’t worry. You can do it!”

Qin Su already had his costume on. Even though he did not have any part in the first scene, he stood aside to encourage Ning Huanxin and Zhang Yan.

With Qin Su’s gaze set on Zhang Yan, Ning Huanxin felt that his words were not directed at her.

There was much elation and joy in the young lady’s eyes as she gave Qin Su a look. Zhang Yan immediately bit her lips and slightly nodded her head.

Haiz, that was a huge blow to single dogs like herself.

The filming began.

And the whole worship ceremony went smoothly.

Ning Huanxin and Zhang Yan wore their robe and went into the river. The freezing cold temperature of the water made Ning Huanxin shudder.

It was icy, and the water seemed colder compared to the past.

However, an actress must prove her professional ethics, even if there were not many lines to say.

“Sister, it’s so cold!”

Right then, Zhang Yan began saying her lines. The duo was playing the role of a pair of sisters in the scene.

“Don’t be scared, Sister. It’ll get warmer soon,”

Ning Huanxin said as she pulled Zhang Yan into her embrace.

Some say that when two people hug, they could warm each other’s bodies.

But when Ning Huanxin held Zhang Yan, there was a moment when she felt a bone-chilling coldness.

The fleeting feeling lasted only for a moment.

Ning Huanxin subconsciously tightened her hug around Zhang Yan.

She knew what the chilly feeling was, but there was nothing she could do then.

Perhaps soon enough, she would be able to witness the tragedy that happened ten years ago…

And she could only be a spectator.

“Cut!”

They completed filming the first scene, and the team immediately started moving the props. The Director was very satisfied with the performance of the two newcomers.

Two stage-managers brought thick padded jackets for Ning Huanxin and Zhang Yan.
