Chapter 686: Before The Beginning

There were doctors, essential medications, food, wireless phones, large-scale dynamo facilities and sophisticated computers here. They were all prepared in advance and delivered by helicopters.

However, it was impossible to deliver box lunches to them everyday, so the place was equipped with a canteen. Even so, Yan Huan still brought Aunt Gu with her because she needed to have the soup everyday. Ye Shuyun would be so worried if Aunt Gu did not come along, because Yan Huan would be gone for almost half a year on this journey.

When everything was in their proper places, the filming for Before the Beginning began.

“You would look more like a ghost if you get slimmer,” Yue Ran jibed as he fixed Yan Huan’s hair with his bare hands before doing her makeup.

“I had just turned back into a human from a ghost,” Yan Huan made fun of herself. She looked at herself in the mirror, then slid her eyes to the side to look at Yue Ran, who was standing behind her in a windbreaker, as neat as before, “Will you regret following me here when I asked you to? Life is tough here, you could have rejected.”

“Why wouldn’t I come?” Yue Ran asked Yan Huan in reply. “I’m honored with a few prestigious makeup awards because of you, which makes me a renowned local makeup artist now, but that only stays within the country. This movie that you are filming now could probably make it into the global market. I would be a fool if I did not make use of this opportunity.”

“You really think so?” Yan Huan sat up straight when she heard this. She was surprised that Yue Ran had such thoughts. Does he really trust me so much?

“Certainly,” Yue Ran answered as he concentrated on Yan Huan’s make up. “You have your own purpose for doing everything. You are always planning for things that may happen a few years later. I can’t help but suspect that you’re actually reborn, as what was described in the book, which explains why you knew about a lot of future events that did not happen yet.”

Yan Huan was still laughing, “Since when are you into these melodramatic scenarios too?”

Yue Ran shrugged his shoulders and said, “Just guessing. I don’t mind if that’s the truth, as long as I’m warm and fed. I’m now famous and wealthy already, the only thing that is lacking would be a grand award.”

“Haven’t you gotten the Best Makeup Artist Award in the country?” Yan Huan was referring to the makeup created by Yue Ran in White Fox. He had won himself the Best Makeup Artist Award and the Best Style Award with that makeup in White Fox.

“I have a bigger appetite than this,” Yue Ran said reproachfully as he threw her a glance. “I want the most reputable and internationally recognized award.”

How ambitious he was.

Nevertheless, Yan Huan was supportive of Yue Ran’s ambition. It was better to have a dream than float around without direction, not to mention that it was obvious that Yue Ran’s talent was compatible with his ambition.

Yue Ran had taken more than a year to come up with this makeup in Before the Beginning. He had made hundreds of adjustments and corrections for this. He strived for perfection for each and every style and adornment. If this film was awarded an international award, Yue Ran’s makeup must have played a crucial role in it.

Yan Huan touched her face as she looked into the mirror, thinking that time really flies. “I have been acting for six years already.”

“Six years, is this a lot?”

Yue Ran asked Yan Huan again, “Is that a lot?”

Indeed, it was not. Yan Huan did not dare to say that this is a lot, although she had almost 20 years of experience in acting if two of her lives were added up. But so what? There were plenty of more experienced actors and actresses out there like Liang Chen, who were more experienced than her even with her lives summed up.

“Fortunately, your looks stayed the same. You look as marvellous as you were before.”

Yue Ran packed up his things and said, “You better perform well. My international award is waiting for me.”

“I will,” Yan Huan promised as she turned around. She closed her eyes and breathed in deeply.

“All the best, Yan Huan.”

She used to tell herself this all the time in the past. She wanted to give her best once again with her remaining life, all her passion and determination in acting, as this might be her last film already.

In her remaining days, she just wanted to accompany Lu Yi’s parents, and be with Lu Yi.

She turned around and walked out into a peaceful forest. There were birds chirping and flowers blooming, fully ecological, without any contamination.

I am Yao Xiaoyu, a doctor, a surgeon. My biggest hobby is watching television, fangirling and eating. I am a foodie and I love to eat. Of course, I have another hobby, which is watching some melodramatic dramas. I hardly cry, but I laugh easily. I have quite a bit of a character too.

Others would cry like a fool in the cinema while I would be eating popcorn, wondering what was there to cry for. To me, these people were mental.

Similarly, I would laugh so hard that the others would turn around and give me a gaze that said,

You idiot.

I traveled back in time on a stormy night to a primitive forest, hundred of thousands of years ago with dinosaurs, volcanoes and countless weird plantations in it.

That was where my legendary, primitive life started.

My name is Shi Jia, an easy-to-remember name that sounds like top ten best teenagers or top ten good guy, etc… But I’ve never gotten into any top tens since I was a kid. I was an extremely stupid person, so my father used to say…

“My Jiajia, what are you gonna do in the future if you are so ugly and dumb?”

I grew up with yellowish hair, but I’m not a foreigner nor a banana with yellowish skin. I am 100% a Chinese.

I told my dad that I wanted to be a soldier.

But my dad said, you would get beaten up as a soldier because of your appearance.

I did not care if people are going to beat me up or not, I was determined to join the army. Moreover, I could not think of anything else that a woman who was poor and ugly like me could do except joining the army.

I did become a soldier at last, and certainly, a soldier in the special forces.

A bolt of lightning struck me when I was on a mission. I was cautious and honest all my life, I couldn’t understand what vicious thing I did that made me deserve being struck by lightning.

After that, I traveled back in time. Not to some Tang Dynasty, Qing Dynasty, nor the Republic of China Era or any unfounded place, but the primitive societies which existed hundreds of thousands of years ago.

Under a tree that was as wide as a few armspans, a woman with her hair casually tied up was sewing herself a skirt made out of animal skin with a bone needle. She then wrapped it around her waist.

Then, she raised her head and started rubbing her hands. When she was ready, she started to climb up the tree. However, for every three feet she climbed up, she slipped down even more, and half of the day passed by like this.
