The night scene in Hong Kong was so beautiful, with the dazzling neon lights flickering incessantly, fully showcasing the prosperity of an international metropolis!

At this moment, around an alley in Hong Kong, it was densely packed with people who were continuously peering into the middle of the alley, and there were also various lighting and filming equipment, as well as many props inside the alley!

This was a film crew shooting an exterior scene in this alley!

"Cut!"

Following a shout, all the staff of the film crew breathed a sigh of relief, and the actors also completely relaxed!

"Good job! Everyone performed very well in this scene! Keep it up in the future!"

The director, a man with a scruffy beard, looking extremely rugged, had just finished addressing the crowd and then turned his attention to a girl playing an extra:

"Xiaocui! You did a great job in this scene; this is exactly how an extra should act! Although the role is small, as actors, we must bring it to life and give it its own identity!"

The director obviously was very pleased with this girl, and after praising her, he said to the rest of the many actors:

"In the future, everyone should learn from Xiaocui! No matter how big or small the role is, try hard to perform well! Only then can our play satisfy and be liked by the audience!"

Upon the director's words, all the actors and staff present cheered and began to applaud for the girl named Xiaocui!

And Xiaocui, very politely, smiled and bowed to the people around her in thanks!

Seeing this scene, Linlin by her side curled her lips, her face full of disdain and disgust!

Linlin was a budding model, and the role she played as an extra was similar to Xiaocui's, but every time Xiaocui would pass with ease, while she herself had been NG'd several times!

"What's so great about a girl from the Mainland coming to our turf! Humph, if I were serious about acting, I'd perform a thousand, no, a million times better!"

In Hong Kong, the term "Beigu" is used to refer to women from Mainland China, and "Da Quan Zi" is used for men!

However, both of these terms are derogatory nicknames that Hong Kong people use for those from the Mainland!

Linlin knew that Xiaocui had come over from the Mainland a few months ago, and especially in her eyes, such a Beigu had no right to share the stage with her, let alone being praised by the director and many peers!

At this moment, the director's gaze shifted to Linlin, and his brow furrowed slightly:

"Linlin, your acting is too frivolous and artificial; it doesn't convey the character's emotions! In this regard, you should really learn from Xiaocui!"

The director was very dissatisfied with Linlin's attitude; she relied on her good looks to mess around on set, and her acting was terrible. If it weren't for the fact that she was recommended by Agent Wang, he would have sent Linlin packing long ago!

Being publicly criticized by the director, Linlin's pretty face instantly darkened, and as her eyes glanced at Xiaocui, her eyes were filled with resentment!

If it weren't for this Beigu's excellent performance, the director wouldn't have criticized her!

With this thought, Linlin felt even more resentful towards Xiaocui!

"Director, don't be mad! She was recommended by Agent Wang after all; you should give her a supporting role to play! Besides, playing an extra is too hard and unrewarding, not enjoyable at all!"

At this, Linlin approached the director, wheedling and occasionally rubbing her ample bosom against the director's arms!

Hearing about Agent Wang, the director lost his enthusiasm and waved his hand dismissively, no longer paying any attention.

Seeing that the director had gone to busy himself elsewhere, Linlin's gaze then shifted back to Xiaocui, with a sneer forming on her lips. She picked up a cup of hot coffee and walked straight over to her!

Xiaocui was very quiet, with a clear and handsome face that was striking at first sight!

Especially now that Xiaocui was without makeup, her appearance was definitely a lot more beautiful than that of A-list actresses!

Xiaocui was quietly sitting in the corner at the moment, staring blankly, thinking of her two months in Hong Kong and also of that man whose whereabouts were completely unknown!

"Brother Ye won't have anything wrong with him! He certainly won't!"

A trace of bitterness crossed Xiaocui's pretty face; in order to catch up with him, she chose to follow Sister Ximeng to Hong Kong to strive, but just as she was getting started, that man had disappeared!

"Brother Ye…"

Upon thinking of that delicate face, Xiao Cui had already shed tears countless times!

However, just as Xiao Cui was alone and heartbroken, a figure suddenly collided with her, causing her to stagger, almost falling to the ground!

"Ouch, my coffee!"

Linlin's pretty face was full of anger, yet it contained a thick layer of playful mockery!

Xiao Cui was doused with a cup of hot coffee and immediately felt a sharp pain, causing her slender body to tremble and her pale face to break out in a cold sweat, while her theatrical costume was stained with coffee!

"Ow! Can't you watch where you're going?! Didn't you see me holding coffee? And you ran into me and ruined my coffee!"

Seeing Xiao Cui's costume ruined and unwearable, Linlin's face broke into a thick grin of mockery and amusement, followed quickly by a stern expression as she scolded sharply!

And Xiao Cui, panic-stricken, hurried to pick up the fragments of the teacup from the ground without even trying to wipe the coffee stains off her body:

"I'm sorry... I'm sorry, it was not intentional..."

Xiao Cui was in a state of chaos, and as she had just picked up a few fragments of the cup, her palm was deeply cut, blood gushing out!

Seeing this, Linlin showed no mercy, grabbing Xiao Cui forcefully:

"You lowly wretch! Do you know how much my coffee is worth? You, a girl from the Mainland, can you afford it?"

After saying that, Linlin pushed Xiao Cui again, causing her to stagger!

Many from the crew watching the scene were filled with anger and wanted to step forward to stop it, but when they thought of the agent backing Linlin, they all stopped in their tracks!

"Hmph! You dare to bump into me, a lowly girl from the Mainland, I'm going to slap you to death!"

With someone backing her, Linlin naturally wasn't afraid; she was determined to teach this clumsy girl from the Mainland a lesson today!

Just after saying that, Linlin stepped forward, grabbed Xiao Cui's collar, and raised her hand to fiercely slap Xiao Cui's beautiful cheek!

Xiao Cui was filled with panic and confusion, her body still trembling from the burn, and as she saw the palm coming straight down, she somehow forgot to dodge!

However, at that moment, Xiao Cui's peripheral vision caught a figure walking past the alley entrance; her body suddenly jerked, and then she pushed Linlin away and ran toward the alley entrance like mad!

"Brother Ye! Brother Ye!!!"

At that moment, Xiao Cui was almost insane; her eyes filled with disbelief, she burst out of the alley, desperately searching for that beloved figure she had longed for day and night!

Yet, after scanning outside the alley for quite a while, she still could not find that figure!

"Brother Ye... Brother Ye..."

Xiao Cui stood there stupidly, as if she had lost her soul, with tears streaming down her cheeks in torrents!

That Brother Ye she had grown up with since she was a little girl!

That Brother Ye whom she had clung to every day like a little puppy!

That Brother Ye for whom she had come to Hong Kong to struggle, hoping to follow his footsteps!

That... Brother Ye whom she had secretly loved deep in her heart!

"Brother Ye... where are you? Where on earth are you..."

Almost in despair, Xiao Cui crouched on the ground and sobbed uncontrollably, like a helpless and hopeless little girl crying her heart out in utter heartache!

Her love had not yet been spoken, and the man had already vanished into the vast sea of people!

And just then, a rough and calloused hand was placed on Xiao Cui's shoulder!
