Chapter 272 - It's Good That I Didn't Get Up
Xie Ming sat on her seat facing the window and looked outside.
They were in the city, so all she could see was cars, buildings and malls. However, it was her first time sitting in a bus like this.
This gives a different vibe when she sits in a car. The same road but it feels entirely different.
It was her first time going put somewhere without Liwei. She looked at her phone and sighed.
She wanted to call him but was worried to disturb him. He must be on the flight right now unless he would have called her informing his arrival.
She sighed lightly as she felt heavy in her heart. She felt empty in her heart because the person she wanted the most was not beside her.
However, for her, it was another experience that could help her gain confidence and make her independent.
Meeting new people and socializing can help you grow as a person.
She wanted to be with Liwei for whole life but before that, she wanted to make herself confident and capable enough to stand beside him with her head held high.
She does not want to be Mrs. Jin only. In her past life, she was the Empress but no one cared about her own identity.
Before someone's wife or daughter in law or Empress, she was Zhao Ming. She was someone's precious daughter as well.
But all they cared about her status and title. She lost her original worth due to which she lost her confidence in herself.
She has come into this new world and wanted to start her new life. She does not want to be the same coward who was suppressed by her mother in law.
She wanted to be someone with confidence and that people could say that she looks good with Liwei. She does not want to mind about people think anymore and would do whatever she wants to do.
She wanted to gain that confidence in herself and wanted to live a new life as Xie Ming.
She loves Liwei and he loves her. But she was slightly worried if he knew about the truth one day.
She is not Xie Ming nor she belongs to this world. She is not a ghost but she came from another era or technically speaking, she came from the past.
She was worried about the thing that Liwei wouldn't able to accept her if he got to know this fact. Transmigration is not something common. It is unbelievable.
When she can't believe this, then how will she explain this?
….
Xie Ming fell asleep while looking outside the window. She was tired and the medicine that she had taken before coming here was working and making her sleepy.
Song Xiner sat beside Xu Lan and talked about the details of the workshop. They got along well and due to Xu Lan's friendly nature, she got along well with Song Xiner.
Wu Sheng didn't move from his seat despite Xu Lan's arrangement and did not sit beside Yuan Lei.
They both know each other but he does not have a good impression of her. He has worked together with her in a reality show as a host for a while but he has seen her arrogant and rude attitude towards staff.
Last year she has won the best newcomer award but after that, she didn't get any awards. However, because of her visuals and innocent image in front of the public, she is known as the Visual Goddess.
Every product endorsed by her was sold off and was very popular. But her acting was not that great. When she was a newbie, she was enthusiastic about her work but now her acting quality has decreased.
The role now she was getting is because of her popularity, not her hard work. Everyone can see that she has changed and the glamorous appearance of the entertainment industry has got on her head.
He has no idea how she entered into Mr. Han's movie but he can say that she didn't get a role with her skills. She doesn't know everything either but he was sure that she did not get a role in the movie due to her talent.
there must be another reason as well.
Yuan Lei sat on her seat and listen to some music while her assistant was sharpening her nails. Her eyes were closed as she was relaxing.
Wu Shen felt bored and was looking here and there. When his eyes fell on Xie Ming, his gaze softened.
She was sleeping with her head supported against the window and her head was hitting the window.
He felt an urge to hold her head and put it on his shoulder for support. For some reason he found himself, worrying about her.
She looks vulnerable and fragile in his views and he wants to protect her and want to look impressive in front of her.
However, he could feel the respect and a polite wall that she has constructed against him.
When he has seen her for the first time at the audition for the second female lead, Xie Ming has caught his eye.
Her innocence has caught his attention. When she first walked into the audition room for the first time, her aura and walk, everything was screaming royal.
She was like a fairy on the earth. She was elegant and the way she carries herself is commendable and she makes any dress look great on her.
He wants to get up from his seat and wants to sit beside Xie Ming when the bus suddenly stopped.
He didn't get up at that moment instead sat back on his seat.
He was feeling awkward and was wondering if anyone saw him almost getting up.
Xu Lan suddenly got down off the bus to pick up another artist. Now only the second male lead was left out of the main cast.
He thought that it must be him who was about to board the bus.
' It's good that I didn't get up, otherwise, it will be embarrassing.' he sighed slightly as he saw Xu Lan talking to a man outside.
If he has sat beside Xie Ming than Xu Lan must have asked him to go to his seat. That situation would be too awkward and embarrassing.
….
After a while, Xu Lan followed a man up who was young and bright. He was tall and handsome than Wu Sheng.
Wu Sheng squinted his eyes at him and wondered why did he take the role of second male lead when he was capable enough to secure the role of male lead.
Everyone on the bus was gaping at the man in front of them except Xie Ming who was in her dream world.
The guy nodded at Wu Sheng and others but didn't greeted Yuan Lei..
He was not much interested in talking to people and this chic attitude attracted Yuan Lei's attention.
She recognized this man standing in front of him. He was an actor and model.
In such a short time, this man has achieved many things with his hard work.
He has risen from a nobody to a great artist. He has such a big Fandom which is on par with the male idols.
He is known as the prince charming of every girl's dream.
.....
Yuan Lei's eyes glimmered when she saw the handsome man in front of her.
She suddenly became feminine and polite and also removed her handbag from the seat beside her.
She wanted him to sit beside her but that man didn't budge from his place.
Instead, he looked around as his eyes fixed on the girl sleeping peacefully like a baby.
Her hair was slightly disheveled and was covering her petite babyface. The man looked at Xie Ming with an interesting and gentle gaze.
Yuan Lei was wearing an innocent and feminine expression on her face, but her expression darkened seeing the man in front of her looking at Xie Ming.
Xu Lan saw everyone staring at him with interest, so she came in front and introduced him, " Attention everyone. He is our second male lead of the movie Jian Yan. Wu Sheng, he will be your younger brother in the movie, so I hope you guys get along." she smiled at Wu Sheng.
Wu Sheng smiled at Jian Yan and said, " Nice to meet you. It will be a good opportunity to work with you." Wu Sheng shook his hands with his and gave him a pleasant eyes.
" Jian Yan, you can say something if you want ?" Xu Lan gave him a chance to speak so that they can get along well together.
Mr. Han was a man who gives much value to the process rather than the last amount. That's why he believed that these kinds of workshop proves helpful in getting the cast together also it improves their acting as well.
His way of working is very different from others. He is a perfectionist who does not hesitate to spend money for the wellness of his actors and the cast.
He is not only an amazing director but also a thoughtful person as well. He always does workshops before any movie as it helps people come together also they get to learn from each other as well.
This workshop is for the main cast and Mr. Han will reach the venue of the workshop later after finishing his work.
