Chapter 51 - Jumping Into the Lake
Chapter 51: Jumping Into the Lake
The next morning, a ray of sunlight shone through the glass window as Shen Chengjing slowly opened her eyes.
“God! I can’t believe I had such a dream.” She covered her mouth as she looked around the room. ‘Where was Moh Yanchen?’
She dreamed that she had kissed him last night.
At the thought of it, she pinched herself hard. She had only known him for a short time, but she was already having such a dream? It was simply too embarrassing.
After she changed her clothes, she carefully went downstairs. If he wasn’t in the large Moh Park, where would he be?
Early winter mornings were dangerously chilly. She carried her bag as she walked out the door. It was so chilly that she started to shiver. However, when she remembered that today was her first day in the production team, she was both excited and nervous.
At nine o’clock, after she showed up for the production, she did not expect to meet Zhou Qing.
“Oh, I didn’t expect you to get the role of the second female lead. But don’t get too happy too early. The shoot hasn’t even started yet. We still don’t know who’ll win.” Zhou Qing blocked her way. She was wearing a bright red dress and a slim coat that accentuated her delicate figure. It definitely attracted many people’s attention.
Shen Chengjing looked at Zhou Qing quietly. She was a little different than usual, but why should she care?
“Since you said that the shooting hasn’t even started yet, why are you rushing to speak so much?” Shen Chengjing looked at her before turning to the side to walk past.
Zhou Qing just stood there, furious. “Shen Chenjing, just you wait.”
At that moment, a car drove to a stop. Producer Chen got off it. When he saw Zhou Qing, his eyes were filled with greed. Although he had slept with the wrong person, he couldn’t deny that Zhou Qing was very good in bed, to the point that he was unable to stop now.
“Good morning.” Zhou Qing caressed her hair in a flirtatious manner as she stood there like a lady. A little evasive, Producer Chen only nodded his head slightly. He walked past her to enter.
The corners of Zhou Qing’s mouth curled into a sneer. She had already experienced the complexities of this circle, and knew the hard truth that had to be accepted to climb to the top in the end.
An hour later, the members who had a scene that morning had all put on their makeup and their costumes before arriving at the venue.
Today’s scene was a flashback and it was opened by Shen Chengjing. In front of her was a lake that she had to jump into from a cliff. The heavy snow around her magnified the beauty of the scene. The moment she jumped, the peach blossoms around her inexplicably bloomed and formed a stark contrast with the white snow.
“Shen Chengjin, get ready to begin.” The director sat in front of the camera and gestured to her to take her place.
It was freezing in the early winter and she was only wearing a thin robe. Her long hair draping over her shoulders and the little bit of makeup on her face gave her a natural look similar to that of a princess.
“Okay.” She took a deep breath and gave the go-ahead to the director. Then, she strode towards the lakeside.
With every step she took, her entire body trembled. She didn’t know whether it was from excitement or from the cold, but every expression she had was on point. At that moment, she was playing an exciting role, one where she would do anything for her revenge. Therefore, whether it was her emotions or her body, everything had to be perfectly coordinated.
“My life is like a flash in the pain. I’ve experienced life and death, but in the end, I couldn’t escape the word ‘love’.” With every step she took, she recited her lines as if she was already performing it. At the end of her recitation, she stood before the lakeside with a smile returning to her face, even though she was about to jump into it.
“Plop.” Her body formed a beautiful arc in the air as she jumped into the lake. It was quiet. There was no struggle or shouting, and everything returned to calm.
While the staff kept on scattering peach blossoms, some people frowned and looked at the director for a long time.
