Chapter 168: Impossible

The constant failed takes had made the situation worse.

In order to make sure the show went on smoothly, Gu Weiwei gritted her teeth and reviewed the lines.

“Then let me try.”

Having said this, she gritted her teeth and glared at Fu Shiyi next to her.

He not only failed to act his own scenes, but also caused her to act out a romantic scene with Li Xing’er whom she hated so, so, much.

Third Brother, you are going to pay for this!

Gu Weiwei walked into the set room, made some small preparations and said, “Director, now, let’s begin!”

After the respective crew departments got everything ready, the director took a deep breath and said, “Action!”

…

The room was silent, and the candle was flickering.

Gu Changfeng was just packing his things away and when he came to a certain piece of clothing, he showed a small smile on his face and brushed his fingers over the patch sewn onto the clothing.

That was the patch that Lin Qingxue had made for him, when he wore out the cloth when he was practising martial arts.

He finished packing, grabbed the sword and prepared to leave into the night.

The moment the room door was opened, he ran into Lin Qingxue who was in a hurry and a touch of surprise flashed across his eyes and the hands on the scabbard of his sword tightened.

Lin Qingxue sobbed at the sight of his backpack.

“Brother Changfeng!”

Gu Changfeng looked at her in silence and walked past by her.

“Sister, take care!”

Lin Qingxue turned around and called out to him. “Brother, why are you doing this?”

Even the master and the other disciples thought that he had stolen the Treasure Map, but only she knew that the real map was in her possession.

Gu Changfeng’s back still faced her and he said, “For the safety of our Xuanyuan Group, for the safety of Central Plains and for…”

He ceased his words and did not continue speaking the words he had hidden in his heart.

He pressed down the last line of ‘for your sake’ between suppressed sobs.

He would become a traitor once he left and he would also become hunted by everyone in the world… and it was unlikely that he would ever be able to make it back.

He glanced sideways and looked at the shadow of Lin Qingxue stretched out on the floor and disappeared into the darkness.

….

Director’s face, which had been stiff for hours, finally showed a smile.

“See? That is what Gu Changfeng should be like, a man who hides Lin Qingxue deep inside his heart.”

Gu Changfeng was an orphan adopted by the Xuanyuan Group in the movie and Lin Qingxue was the Princess, smart and pretty as well as talented.

He adored her, but she was someone Gu Changfeng would never be able to be with.

He cherished everything that she gave him and he was willing to die for her sake.

So even if he wanted to take a last look at her, he still only looked at her shadow instead.

That was what ‘a hidden love’ meant.

Also, she was a girl yet she had managed to demonstrate how a man in love should be like.

If the two lead roles could be half as gifted and intelligent as she was, he would have been pleased long ago.

Fu Shiyi was startled and looked at Gu Weiwei who had just finished the demonstration.

He was of course aware of her grudge against Li Xing’er.

He was so surprised by how a woman could show such a strong emotion of love, when facing a woman she herself hated so much.

Li Xing’er was someone who was even more startled than Fu Shiyi was.

Of course she had not been willing to act out the scene with Mu Weiwei but the moment she opened the door and saw Gu Changfeng being played by that girl, she seemed to be dominated by an intangible power that made her instantly become the role of Lin Qingxue

Was Mu Weiwei that skilled in acting?

No, that was impossible.

She was just a newcomer who had never learned acting and she couldn’t even be compared to her who had been in the industry for a whole year.
