The wind was strong and cold on the rooftop of the hotel, so both of them had put on large cotton jackets.

  This hotel was the most luxurious hotel in the studio city. The rooftop was on the 25th floor. This was the best time to watch the sunrise.

  The studio city was surrounded by mountains that were also being developed by the consortiums to film special scenes. Many period dramas and anti-war films were filmed against this backdrop. And because the location was surrounded by mountains, there was no obstruction on all sides. The horizon was immediately visible.

  The endless mountain range, the distant horizon… red, orange, and yellow in a graduated transition from the horizon to the arc of the skies above. It was unbelievably beautiful.

  Holding Liang Yin’s hand, the actor walked to the edge of the roof and sat down. At first, Liang Yin was a little nervous and hesitant about sitting on the edge of the rooftop, with her feet dangling in the air so far up from the ground. If she accidentally fell off, she’d fall all the way down and be pulverized on impact.

  Hua Jin, on the other hand, sat down as if it was nothing. Liang Yin stood to the side, nervously refusing to sit.

  He looked up at her, puzzled.

  “Aren’t you going to sit?”


  Liang Yin shivered. “Must we sit in this horrible place and watch the sunrise? If we fall, we’re finished.”


  “You won’t. Just don’t move around. What’s the difference between sitting here and sitting on the sofa? If you think it’s scary, it’s just psychological!”


  For some reason, his words seemed to strike a chord in her!

  It was true. What difference was there between sitting on the rooftop edge and sitting on the sofa? However, under the sofa was flat ground, and under the roof was an endless stretch of space.

  It was like rehearsing with the actor in the room. She didn’t feel nervous at all. But when they were on the set, when the director and the other actors were there, she couldn’t help but start to feel nervous.

  It was just a psychological perception!

  Deliberately not looking into the thin air beneath her feet, Liang Yin carefully sat down beside Hua Jin. Even though she told herself repeatedly that there was nothing to be afraid of, as long as she sat still, she wouldn’t fall, she was nervous nevertheless.

  Hua Jin pointed to the distant horizon. “See there?”


  She was quickly distracted. “Yes… I see it!”


  “This is the best place to sit and watch the sunrise.” He took a deep breath of the fresh morning air, it was damp with the chill of the frost.

  He said calmly, “You know, I remember back in the days when I was a teenager, I did my first shoot as an actor on the set. I was badly bullied. At the time, I was young and living in the cracks every day. I felt so depressed. I thought, since living is so tiring, I might as well end my life.”


  Liang Yin was slightly surprised to hear this. He didn’t look the type to get depressed. How could he… have such a dark past?

  He arched an eyebrow, as if he could read her thoughts. “Do you find it incredible?”


  “Mmmm?”


  “You never thought I’d be so vulnerable.”


  “Uh huh…” Liang Yin muttered, “I think you’re simply favored by the heavens. You’re so good-looking and have so many fans who like you. Even if you weren’t famous at that time, with your capability, you would have inevitably become famous. Why did you take things so hard?”
