“Hello?”
Chu Hui’s voice sounded even more obedient through the phone.
Ming Shu looked out of the window. It was snowing heavily. “Around 9 PM.”
Chu Hui replied sadly.
“Have you taken your medicine?”
No sound came from the other end of the line. Ming Shu could only hear Chu Hui’s calm breathing.
Ming Shu broke the silence. “I met your brother just now.”
Silence.
Dead silence.
Chu Hui replied around 30 seconds later.
“He said……” Ming Shu paused. “He said that you like to snatch what he likes.”
Chu Hui’s breathing stopped for a moment.
His cellphone seemed to be pulled away from his mouth. His voice was faint.
Ming Shu smiled. “Do you mean to say you didn’t think this way at the start?”
Chu Hui: “.……”
The two of them didn’t say anything.
Ming Shu listened to the irregular breathing of Chu Hui. She suddenly wanted to go back.
Her smile widened. It was gentle and sincere. “Don’t hang up.”
Chu Hui was puzzled.
Ming Shu took out her bluetooth earphones and put her cellphone in her pocket. “You can do whatever you want but don’t hang up.”
Chu Hui was standing in the living room and looking at Gold Ingot.
He placed the cellphone on the table and pressed the speaker. He mouthed to Gold Ingot:
Gold Ingot pushed the cellphone with his short legs.
The cellphone dropped onto the floor.
Chu Hui gasped and quickly picked it up.
“You are so evil.” Chu Hui pushed Gold Ingot forcefully. However, his tone was soft as though he was just complaining.
Ming Shu heard some noise from the other end but she couldn’t decipher what it was.
Chu Hui rested his chin on his arms and continued fiddling with Gold Ingot……
When Ming Shu returned to the makeup room, her makeup artist asked her to change her clothes first.
She took her clothes and went to the cubicle at the side.
She took off her outerwear slowly. When she pulled out her gown from the bag, she paused. When White Lemon passed her the bag just now, it was tied up. She never opened it. Did someone touch the bag?
She spent some time talking to Chu Hui……
Ming Shu took out her gown and inspected it carefully. She couldn’t see what was wrong with it but for safety, she didn’t put it on.
She took out another gown from her storage space.
The ceremony was held at a high-class location. Many celebrities were invited too.
“This way please.” The usher was guiding the crowd into the venue.
Ming Shu took a pen. She signed and took some photos.
Lin Yuxin was beside her. She sized up Ming Shu and then left quickly.
Ming Shu smiled. She left after signing.
Just as she was walking out of the signature venue, a commotion arose at the side.
Ming Shu turned back. The crowd was a mess. The gown that White Lemon gave her was worn by an unfamiliar author. Someone stepped on a corner of the gown and the dress got torn.
She didn’t pass the gown back to White Lemon because it had been tampered with. She left it at the makeup room.
She didn’t expect someone to wear it.
And something really happened.
When Lin Yuxin looked at her just now……
She must have been wondering why she didn’t wear the gown.
Ming Shu returned to her seat. She ate her snacks. Suddenly, someone sat down next to her. Ming Shu glanced at the person. It was Chu Han.
“Guru, your seat is in front.”
The status of Ice Lake Snow was much higher than hers. She was just a replica who wanted to change her industry.
Chu Han looked sideways at her. “Everywhere is the same to me.”
Since he didn’t care, Ming Shu had nothing to say. She focused on eating her snacks and listening to Chu Hui. Something happened on his end and there was a commotion.
The seats around Ming Shu started to fill up. Many people greeted Ice Lake Snow. Since Ice Lake Snow was male, most people who sat around them were males. Hence, Ming Shu stood out.
Of course, after Ming Shu made some sarcastic remarks at them, no one dared to talk to her.
“Why is Wei Ran so close with Ice Lake Snow?”
“Who knows what method she used.”
“Do you all think that Wei Ran……” The person who was talking pointed to her head. “I think that her actions recently looked like……”
“Writing is a dangerous occupation. We have to face the computer everyday and stay up all night to rush our chapters. There are many reports of authors dying suddenly. There are also all kinds of pressures in our daily life. It is not as glamorous as what other people think. It is understandable if she really develops a mental illness.”
“What are you all saying?”
Ming Shu ignored the discussions around her. The fact that she was more impressive than them would not change just because they talked behind her back.
Chu Han, on the other hand, kept glancing at her.
He was curious why she didn’t have any reaction after hearing the conversations.
The awards ceremony ended smoothly.
Lin Yuxin was giving the Most Promising Author award.
Ming Shu got the the Best Adaptation award. Ice Lake Snow won it too so they went up on stage together……
After the awards ceremony ended, there was still photo-taking and interviews. By the time Ming Shu finished, it was almost 9 PM.
She told Chu Hui that she would go back by 9 PM.
Ming Shu returned to the makeup room. She pulled on her outerwear and didn’t even change her dress.
“Wei Ran!”
A few girls walked into the makeup room. The girl that made a fool of herself on the red carpet was in the middle.
They blocked the entrance of the makeup room.
“What’s up?”
“Why is this gown torn?” They threw the gown at Ming Shu. Ming Shu tilted to the side and dodged.
The gown landed beside her feet.
Ming Shu was puzzled.
“So what if the gown is torn? What does it have to do with me?” She really didn’t understand what those ladies were thinking.
“You……” The girl gritted her teeth. “You cause Ruyi to lose face. Why is it none of your business?”
Ming Shu was speechless. These people’s intellect must either be influenced by the fake female protagonist or they were honestly stupid.
“Be reasonable. The gown was placed here. You took it without my consent and now you’re blaming me?”
Ming Shu paused. “If there was nothing wrong with the gown, I would not change clothes. Are you all stupid or……”
Wait……
Ming Shu suddenly came to her senses.
She smiled brightly. “Yes, that’s right! I did it!”
Those girls that felt wronged and were being unreasonable were stunned by Ming Shu’s sudden change in attitude.
