Chapter 166
Millie had just made her Weibo post, so her phone must still be by her side.
Little Fairy, can you help me check and see what Millie is doing right now?
Jun Zishu hurriedly called out to her system. She had a feeling that Millie was going to do something foolish.
[Okay. I see it. She’s…putting on makeup?]
Where’s her phone?
[By her side.]
Is it turned off?
[No.]
Jun Zishu frowned and continued calling Millie.
“What’s wrong?” Yu Fanshu asked when she noticed Jun Zishu calling Millie.
“I keep getting the feeling that she is going to do something dumb.”
The “As you wish” in Millie’s Weibo post was simply too bizarre. It looked very much like the prelude to suicide.
Meanwhile, Millie had finished doing her makeup, the mirror before her showing the form of a 28-year-old woman. Throughout the time she did her makeup, the screen of her silenced phone had lit up incessantly. It was still lighting up even now, indicating that the person calling her still hadn’t given up trying to reach her.
After hesitating for some time, Millie eventually chose to answer the call.
“Are you okay?”
Jun Zishu’s voice immediately came through the phone. However, she made sure to keep her voice soft for fear of agitating Millie any further.
“I’m still alive.”
“Don’t do anything stupid.”
“But I’m so tired.”
People might not stay happy forever because of one happy matter, but they could stay depressed for the rest of their lives because of an unhappy situation.
“Think of your fans. Some of them are persistently loving you even until now. You should learn how to move forward when the time comes.”
“But I’m so upset! He actually thinks I’m dirty and told me to leave! He says I’m no match for that woman! What good is that woman?! I put all my youth on him for an entire decade! How many decades does he think I have?!”
Millie’s sobbing voice was full of despair.
“But you won’t be able to get revenge on him this way. You say that he doesn’t care about you, so your death will only be a trivial matter to him. If you want to take revenge on him, live well. People will always think lightly of things they can easily obtain, Millie. Keep on fighting and do what you like to do.”
A moment after Jun Zishu finished speaking, soft sobs came from the other side of the call. At this time, Yu Fanshu gestured to Jun Zishu to pass the phone to her.
“If you are on the verge of death, you will find that living is a very valuable experience.”
“But I don’t have anything left.”
“You still have yourself, your talent, and your voice. If you truly think that you are nothing without that man, you might as well kill yourself, then.”
Yu Fanshu’s voice was cold and indifferent. However, Jun Zishu nodded her head, deeply convinced by her words.
Millie didn’t expect to hear such words, so her mind and body froze.
Yu Fanshu hung up the call and returned the phone to Jun Zishu.
“Teacher.”
“Hm?”
“You were really cool.”
Yu Fanshu’s mouth curled into a smug grin.
…
The new couple was the main cast of an ongoing hit drama. After the director made some content modifications, they continued with the original script.
Fortunately, Millie didn’t do anything stupid. According to Little Fairy, Millie had shut herself in her room for an entire day before going out to travel.
Jun Zishu quite liked this little girl, so she quietly wished her a happy future.
After completing the variety show’s recording in a hurry, Jun Zishu and Yu Fanshu joined the cast of Phoenix Dynasty.
Yu Fanshu played the role of the first female lead, while Jun Zishu was the second female lead. As it was obvious Yu Fanshu was trying to support Jun Zishu’s career, nobody in the cast dared to show hostility against her. On the contrary, many had tried to butter them up.
It was fortunate that the weather had started to cool, so it didn’t feel stuffy to wear the heavy palace costumes.
After their kingdom fell, Chaofeng and Minxi were sent into the tyrant emperor’s harem. Then, the emperor quickly became captivated by Chaofeng’s celestial beauty.
Minxi resembled Chaofeng in appearances, and both were stunning beauties. However, her body carried a youthful taste. Even after experiencing the agony of having her country fall into enemy hands, she remained a pure and simple girl.
However, Chaofeng was different. Her clear and seemingly gentle eyes carried a concealed edge.
After failing to get Chaofeng to comply, the emperor decided to stir her emotions by approaching Minxi.
The emperor’s favor could send a person to the heavens. After getting coaxed by the emperor’s sweet words, Minxi became fully devoted to her husband. Seeing this, Chaofeng’s anger and hatred flared up.
Revenge was the only thing that existed in Chaofeng’s heart, so how could she not be angry when her little sister had gotten together with the enemy? So, she went to find Minxi and tried to help her little sister regain her senses. However, what she got in return was Minxi telling her that their country was already dead, and they might as well enjoy their current lives. Chaofeng slapped Minxi out of anger, and this slap became the starting point of the two sisters’ separation.
Meanwhile, this was also one of the scenes Jun Zishu and Yu Fanshu needed to act out today.
“Please show mercy later, Big Sister,” Jun Zishu jokingly said as she watched the makeup artist apply makeup to Yu Fanshu.
“Of course. How can I bear to hurt my little sister?”
The slap was an integral part of the movie, so it had to be done no matter what. However, that didn’t mean Yu Fanshu couldn’t employ a technique to make it only seem like she was using a lot of force in her slap.
In reality, Jun Zishu didn’t mind if Yu Fanshu had slapped her mercilessly. After all, this would make the scene look even more realistic. Unfortunately, Yu Fanshu couldn’t bear to do so. She couldn’t even bear to see Jun Zishu get hurt, much less hurt Jun Zishu herself.
Once the stage was set, and all the equipment and actors were in place, the director called for the start of the act.
…
Wearing a gorgeous palace dress, Chaofeng walked at a leisurely pace as she made her way to her little sister’s courtyard. However, her trembling hands hanging at her sides showed that she wasn’t as calm as she showed herself to be.
“What wind brought you here, Big Sister?”
Minxi was fiddling with the tea bowl in her hand when Chaofeng entered her bedroom. Upon seeing her elder sister, she greeted the other party with a faint smile on her face, her voice carrying hints of teasing.
Chaofeng did not speak, choosing to scrutinize her little sister from top to bottom in silence.
Minxi’s smile faded, and she looked at her elder sister in confusion.
“Did you come here for something important, Big Sister?”
“Minxi, let me ask you, do you still remember how we entered the palace?”
Minxi frowned as she put down her tea bowl with some annoyance.
“You don’t need to remind me over and over again. I naturally remember. But what’s the use of remembering it? Revenge will only lead us to a dead end. Our country isn’t coming back, but this dynasty can continue existing. Just let it go, Big Sister.”
“Let it go?”
Chaofeng’s eyes widened, her face filled with disbelief as she looked at Minxi.
“How can I let it go? Father Emperor, Mother Empress, and Big Brother… They all died at that man’s hands, yet you are asking me to let it go?” Chaofeng asked incredulously. “Minxi, tell me, did you fall for that emperor?”
“Don’t you like him as well, Big Sister? His Majesty treats us so…”
Before Minxi could finish her words, her face was brutally slapped, and her head tilted with a look of disbelief on her face.
…
The director yelled to pause the scene, and a makeup artist and her assistant quickly ran onto the stage to draw a palm print on Jun Zishu’s still face. The makeup artist worked quickly, completing a convincing slap mark in two minutes.
Yu Fanshu had controlled her strength very well, so even though her slap looked like it carried a lot of strength, Jun Zishu had hardly felt anything when Yu Fanshu’s palm contacted her face.
Meanwhile, after the makeup artist and her assistant withdrew from the stage, the still scene started moving again.
…
“You hit me, Big Sister? You actually hit me? What part did I say wrong? Don’t tell me you’re not moved by his Majesty?”
Chaofeng sneered, her eyes narrowing as they gave off a ruthless glint.
“You have truly disappointed me, Minxi.”
…
“Cut! Well done!” the director shouted, satisfied with the take. This was why he liked working with Yu Fanshu. She could almost always complete her scenes in one take, which saved the crew a lot of time and effort.
Jun Zishu didn’t remove her makeup after the take since she needed it for the next scene where she had to act like an innocent bitch in front of the male lead.
“I didn’t hit you too hard just now, right?” Yu Fanshu asked worriedly.
“It was only a touch, Teacher.”
“Thank goodness you trusted me,” Yu Fanshu said. If Jun Zishu hadn’t trusted her and moved her face a little just now, she might have miscalculated her strength and ended up hitting Jun Zishu’s face harder than she intended.
“Of course I trust you. If I can’t trust even you, who else can I possibly trust?” Jun Zishu said with a sweet smile.
Yu Fanshu tapped a finger on the coquettish vixen’s nose before dragging her aside to rest.
Seeing this, Chenzi promptly brought over two water bottles. Though, she couldn’t help but feel as if her teeth were being filled with cavities as she watched the sweet interactions between Jun Zishu and Yu Fanshu.
After drinking a mouthful of water, Jun Zishu started fixing her makeup.
When they were filming Phoenix Dynasty, A Week in Love had already aired for several episodes. Meanwhile, Jun Zishu’s image grew better with each subsequent episode. The number of fans supporting her ship with Yu Fanshu also grew rapidly.
“It’s been half a month since you updated your Weibo, Big Sis Jun, so Big Sis Coco told me to remind you to update it,” Chenzi said as she passed a phone to Jun Zishu.
However, Coco didn’t have Chenzi remind Yu Fanshu to do the same. After all, Yu Fanshu would rarely ever post on Weibo. Before Yu Fanshu went on her hiatus, she would only make a post once every three to six months. And even if Coco did urge Yu Fanshu to update her Weibo, Yu Fanshu would probably be too lazy to do so.
“Okay,” Jun Zishu said as she accepted the phone. After thinking for a moment, she typed a few words and chose to attach an image via her camera. Then, she said, “Come, Teacher, give me your hand.”
Yu Fanshu opened her hand and offered it to Jun Zishu. Then, Jun Zishu held hands with Yu Fanshu and took a picture of their clasped hands.
Jun Ling: Filming with my teacher. [Image]
Yu Fanshu also took out her phone, took the same picture, and posted it onto Weibo.
Yu Fanshu: Filming with my student. [Image]
Ten seconds after these two posts went live, the posts sparked a heated debate among netizens.
Yeahhhhhh: !!! Fanshu is going to appear in a new movie! I’m so happy!
I’m looking forward to the goddess’s performance! Finally, I will have more than just three movies to watch! QwQ
May Not Love You: Wahhh! I’m looking forward to it! When will the new movie come out? I’ll definitely support it! It should be coming out in cinemas, right? Looking at the sleeves, could it be a costume drama?
Only Love Fanshu: Finally! I knew you would start filming movies again! Muahhh!
Twins Advocate: Woohoo! Twins unite! Keep on feeding us sweets! Hehehe!
Hey, It’s Qiuiu: God, save us. I can’t help but have a bad feeling when I recall Jun Ling’s acting skills. Don’t tell me this movie is going to flop? I can see that Empress Yu pampers Jun Ling a lot, seeing as she is even filming a movie with Jun Ling, but…but… I don’t want to burn my eyes with Jun Ling’s acting skills…
Little Angel Jun Ling: I’m looking forward to our Little Angel’s first movie! It should be a movie, right? I don’t think the Film Empress has ever been involved in TV series yet.
Lord Little Fairy: Woohoo! Our Little Angel is the best! I’m looking forward to the movie!
o: Why are Empress Yu and Jun Ling addressing each other as student and teacher? Could Empress Yu be teaching Jun Ling how to act? If that’s the case, I’m looking forward to Jun Ling’s performance!
Twinkling Stars: Hahahaha! My Fanshu has finally updated her Weibo!!! But why is there only a shot of her hand? I want a face shot!! It’s already been two months since my Fanshu’s last Weibo post. I seriously suspect that my Fanshu won’t update her Weibo unless Jun Ling updates hers.
Guest in a Dream: @Twinkling Stars: That scenario is kind of sweet. The more I think about it, the more I want to get on board the Twins ship. But I’m also afraid of boarding a real-life ship since it never usually has a good ending. QwQ
Lord Little Fairy: @Guest in a Dream, don’t fret! Board away! It’s my loss if it doesn’t set sail! Nobody should even think of getting off this ship!
In Little Fairy’s opinion, there was no way anything bad could happen to the Twins ship. After all, her host and Lord had already behaved like a sweet couple for such a long time. She’d self-detonate if their relationship soured!
