C112

The next day, when Ling Xiaosu left for the crew, Ouyang Ke and Chen An noticed that Ling Xiaosu's eyes were a little red and swollen, as if he was crying. However, Ling Xiaosu still had a smile on his face, as if something had happened.

Only Ling Xiaosu understood. The heaven defying official had told her that he was playing a joke on her by trying to be together. Their relationship had returned to how it was before, each taking what they needed and doing what they could for their own benefit.

During this period of time, Ling Xiaosu spent all her time and effort on filming in order to not be reminded of those above her. At the same time, as the assistant director of Ouyang Ke's movie, Ling Xiaosu learned a lot from Ouyang Ke.

As the final month of the massacre approached, Ling Xiaosu was so busy that her feet almost touched the ground as she ran around the Everyday Hotel and filming crew. As she ran, Ling Xiao was so busy that she did not even think of him at all.

Seeing how busy Ling Xiaosu was, Chen An was worried that his body wouldn't be able to take it. Chen An watched worriedly as Ling Xiaosu poured tea for the actors and checked the lighting equipment without stopping for a moment.

"Sister Ling." Chen An stepped forward and shouted, "Why don't you take a break? I can see that you've been circling around." Like a top, it doesn't stop twenty-four hours a day.

Ling Xiaosu had just finished checking the lighting in his hands. He turned to Chen An with a smile and said, "There's still half a month until this movie is over. If I don't get busy and do something for the crew, I'll feel guilty."

Chen An looked at the dark circles under Ling Xiaosu's eyes and knew that she was trying to find an excuse.

Chen An continued to persuade her. "I can see that you haven't gotten a good night's sleep. Why don't you stop and rest for a while?"

Just as Ling Xiaosu was about to shake her head and refuse, she walked over, her face still dressed in the same way. She glanced at Ling Xiaosu and said, "She's busy with work and worrying. Xiao An, stop trying to persuade her.

Chen An's face was flushed red from all the talking. "I didn't …"

"Alright, alright. What are you getting involved in the adults' troubles? It's for children." Qu Yingran lectured Chen An as he spoke. Finally, under Chen An's increasingly red face, Qu Yingran shut his mouth. Chen An also made an excuse saying that he wanted to tell Ouyang Ke about the script before running away.

Ling Xiaosu could not help but laugh as she watched him walk away. "Actually, I'm really fine. You and Chen An don't have to worry so much about me." It would make her feel guilty.

Qu Yiran rolled her eyes at Ling Xiaosu, "Although I don't know what happened to you, I think what Chen An said is reasonable. Your body won't be able to take it if you continue enduring like this."

See, everyone thought something had happened to her, so they ran around day and night like crazy.

Ling Xiaosu lowered her eyes in silence.

She didn't know if her words had poked Ling Xiaosu's sore spot, so she didn't know what to say.

How about an apology? Just as Qu Yiran was about to speak, Ling Xiaosu interrupted, "Do you think this movie will win the award?"

With regards to Ling Xiaosu's sudden question, Qu Yingran was a little confused. He was stunned for a moment before answering, "I think … I think so." Actually, she wasn't sure herself. After all, the subject matter of the movie was very sensitive.

"I think so too." Ling Xiaosu smiled at Qu Yiran, then turned around to deal with the matters at hand.

In the blink of an eye, three months had passed, and the movie was dead. Ouyang Ke suggested that everyone gather for dinner, and everyone agreed.

Everyone was in high spirits on this green night. Ling Xiaosu could tell that everyone was crying tears of joy because this movie was too difficult for everyone.

This dinner was very lively and hearty. Some people had already started taking off their clothes and dancing without caring about their image, or they would hug the people beside them and cry. Even those who were usually cold and indifferent in the crew were currently watching the commotion with smiles on their faces.

Halfway there, Ling Xiaosu was persuaded to drink a few cups of wine. Feeling a little dizzy, she stood up to greet the person beside her before going to the washroom.

Ling Xiaosu raised her head and looked at herself in the mirror.

In the mirror, Ling Xiaosu could not be said to be in good spirits. Her eyes were red, and her face was flushed from the alcohol. She looked like a drunkard who had not had a good night's rest.

Once this movie was done, she would have to return to A City. Once she returned to A City, she would have to report to the company, and once she went to the company, she would meet a heaven defying official.

Ling Xiaosu had almost forgotten about the meeting with the heaven defying official in City 13. It would be awkward if they were to meet like this.

With a bang, the door to the washroom was suddenly pushed open. Ling Xiaosu turned around to see who it was, drunk.

Qu Yingran walked closer to Ling Xiaosu Su, smelling of alcohol. He muttered, "You've been in the washroom for so long, I suspect you didn't go to the washroom. Instead, you went to the washroom to have your baby."

Ling Xiaosu smacked the corner of her lips. The drunk Zhai Yi really made people speechless.

"What about the others?" Ling Xiaosu acted as if she wanted to go to the support area, but she was rejected.

"The others are still drinking!"

After he finished, Qu Yiran mumbled something and fell asleep while leaning against the wall.

Ling Xiaosu didn't want to care about the drunkard anymore, but she had no choice but to walk up to help Zhai Yi out of the bathroom.

After hurriedly saying "I'll be leaving first" to the others, Ling Xiaosu brought the district back to the hotel and then took a taxi back to his hotel. It took him about half an hour to get here.

During this period of time, Ouyang Ke called her and asked where she was. Ling Xiaosu had already left and had arrived at the hotel.

Ouyang Ke gave a faint "Oh" before he replied, "You rest early. You have to get up early tomorrow morning and head back to A City." With that, Ouyang Ke hung up.

Listening to Ouyang Ke hang up the phone, Ling Xiaosu vaguely felt that recently Ouyang Ke had intentionally or unintentionally become distant from her. She did not know the details, nor did she want to find out.

After Ling Xiaosu hung up the phone, her mind was in a mess. In order to stop thinking about it, she closed her eyes and fell asleep a minute later.

This time, he slept soundly and nothing happened.

In the afternoon, the plane from City 13 landed in City A.

It was already September, and the warm weather of A City had turned to autumn.

Ling Xiaosu was holding onto a suitcase as she walked towards the airport. She was wearing a trench coat and a hat, completely covering herself, as if she was afraid that someone would recognize her at the airport.
