ETERNAL LOVE : A LOVE STORY

Zhang Wei pursed her lips when she heard Xie Ming's words.

She felt that Xie Ming's words were targeting her saying that she got the role and not her. 

While Xie Ming had no idea what was going on in Zhang Wei's head as she was unaware that she snatched this role from her. 

After Xie Ming was chosen as the second female lead, Zhang Wei started shooting for her new movie as soon as possible that she signed after getting rejected by Mr. Han. 

She has been offered for her current movie even before auditioning for Eternal Love.

But at that time, she hadn't accepted it's offer as she wanted to work with Mr.Han. But after he rejected her, she signed this movie without any hesitation.

She wanted to show Mr. Han that she is not free and she has projects lined up. And if he rejects her but there are many people who are dying to work with her.

She felt that Mr. Han has lost his sense of decision making. He has either got blinded by Xie Ming's seduction or this girl has some strong backing. Otherwise, Mr. Han wouldn't cast her as the second female lead.

The atmosphere has gotten awkward since their conversation. Song Xiner glanced at Xie Ming to see if she was fine because everyone could sense the double meaning behind Zhang Wei's words.

But when she looked at Xie Ming, she found her looking at her phone. She was smiling amidst the crowd ignoring the awkward atmosphere among others.

She was lost in her world. She felt that Xie Ming is unique.

Though it was her first time when she got the work to assist an artist independently, she has seen many artists under other managers or Tang Nian also.

Most of the artists got annoyed when someone questions their integrity or their character, but Xie Ming handled it in a very chic way.

She simply answered her questions simply without showing her hate towards her. She made it so simple to work in Mr. Han's movie, that Zhang Wei couldn't refuse her.

She said that she got this from luck. But it also showed that she got this role from her luck while others didn't get it and t included Zhang Wei as well.

It slapped Zhang Wei on the face because she used her past work relationships with Mr. Han and also gave an audition, but didn't manage to secure the role.

….

 While everyone was trying to change the environment by starting new conversations to liven the atmosphere, Xie Mong was looking down at her phone.

It was a message from Liwei.

He has sent her a picture of their empty bed and wrote, " The room feels so empty. Where is my wife?" with that he has sent a crying emoji.

He has just come from his trip on which he went for a meeting. He was tired but seeing the empty bed he felt lethargic. He missed Xie Ming so much and decided to send her a message.

When she read his childish whining messages, a smile plastered on her face.

She never expected that Liwei could be so cheesy and romantic after getting parted away for a day only. She pursed her lips tightly while trying to control her laughter.

' This man is getting more childish by the time.' she shook her lightly at her words.

She then also decided to send him a picture. She looked at the bonfire in front of her and sent it to him after clicking its picture.

And wrote, " Surrounded by many people, but still lonely." She wrote this simple line.

She was surrounded by so many people but she was feeling the emptiness in her heart because Liwei was not here.

She stared at her phone and it has been delivered and has been read already but he didn't reply for a while. 

She thought that he had gotten into some work, so she shifted her focus away.

She has got into many arguments in one single day. It seems working is like fighting a battle every day.

The battle does not only mean physical fight and being violent with people and killing them. The mental fight is also a battle and it could be more exhausting.

She was feeling tired because of all the travel and the so-cold unnecessary arguments. She sighed heavily seeing that people started talking to Zhang Wei again.

She was telling about her stories and experiences from the movie. But when she heard her words, it seemed like she was boasting herself rather than giving them tips.

Xie Ming looked up at her and heard her conversation with Han Ling who was behaving like her little tail.

It was her first time meeting the big star and she was very excited after meeting her idol that she has been worshipping for years.

" Sister, how do you feel when you dressed as the character in the period movies. Because their costumes and jewelry must be very different, right?" Han Ling started to call Zhang Wei as a sister because she allowed her to do so.

" It's my first time acting in a historical movie and I was excited and nervous at the same time. I am worried if I could execute this role well or not?" she said worriedly.

Han Ling was worried about her role. It was her first time acting in a movie and that too historical movie.

She was worried about this because she knows that while filming a historical movie there are many restrictions.

That's why she was worried and curious at the same time.

Zhang Wei looked at Han Ling who was looking at her with her expectant eyes. She felt pleased and smug seeing Han Ling buttering her and asking her questions like this.

She glanced at Xie MIng to show how people are going behind her.

Xie Ming noticed her gaze and remained indifferently. Zhang Wei scoffed lightly and tuned to Han Lin with a polite smile on her face and said, 

" Of course, it feels good. That feeling when you wear the traditional styled clothes, it gives you a royal feel. It enhances your beauty and makes you look more gentle and innocent" she said straightly.

Xie Ming looked at Zhang Wei when she heard her words. She started thinking about her old memories and her picture came into her mind when she used to wear those traditional clothes and wondered if they used to give her an innocent look.

She smiled bitterly as she looked at the bonfire. 

' She must have looked too innocent that's why she got trapped into others tricks.' she felt laughing at her naivety back then.

She was wrong to treat Wen Xu like her mother and Xiao Li, like her sister.

" However, those outfits are very uncomfortable. They are very long and loose. It hides all the curves and makes me look out of shape." Zhang Wei joked to Han Ling.

" But what can we expect from them? The people in the past were illiterate and lacked common sense. At least they know how to wear clothes, that's big enough." she laughed lightly.

" So how did you manage these issues?" Han Lin asked her while blinking her eyes.

" I used to alter those dresses and make them according to my fit. So that they want to look overdone and will also highlight my curves."

Han Ling nodded when she heard Zhang Wei's words. Then I will also do my costume when I get one.

Xie Ming's expressions frowned when hearing Zhang Wei's words, " You should never make those dresses body fit. Otherwise, what's the use of shooting a historical movie when you can't even respect the culture and their attire." Xie Ming said to Han Ling, ignoring Zhang Wei.

Han Ling was stunned seeing Xie Ming suddenly talking to her. She looked at Zhang Wei when she heard Xie Ming's words and saw stiffened expressions of Zhang Wei.

" What do you mean Xie Ming? Do you think I am not respecting our culture or traditional clothes? " Zhang Wei intercepted.

" I was just stating the facts. The clothes are very large and loose. They make the person look fat and strange. Not everyone can look in those clothes." she shrugged her shoulders after saying the 'facts'.

Xie Ming looked at her indifferently and said, " First of all, I was saying it to Han Ling, not you Ms. Zhang. Secondly,  Isn't it insulting when you're saying that they were illiterate and wearing clothes is already a big deal for them? Like really?"

" Ms. Zhang, I suggest you read some history about our country. You should see how rich our culture was. You're saying, they were illiterate? Ms. Zhang, it was those illiterate people who built so many monuments in the country without any advanced techniques that we have today, and it was those illiterate who invented gunpowder which used in weapons. "

" Also, it was those illiterate people who invented the paper on which you can write. And if they're illiterate then I think you need to check your 'facts' straight first. "

" Only reading and writing is not considered as being literate. You need to do something for your country and yourself and that's how you will show your worth to the world. If they were not the one then you wouldn't be acting in historical dramas based on them. Yet you are calling them illiterate? That's incredible." she scoffed annoyingly. 

She was so angry when she heard Zhang Wei's words. She can't believe that she called people in the past illiterate?

Xie Ming felt pissed hearing her words and the way she called the people in the past illiterate. She was from the past and she knows how the culture was out there.

Yes, they were not advanced like today and it was not because they were illiterate it was because of the time. Time changes many things.

' Didn't she think that the next generation will call her illiterate as well because they will have new devices and advanced technology than her?'

' She has acted in many historical movies and still bore this kind of mindset with her. Hmph.'

Xie Ming was offended by Zhang Wei not because she didn't like traditional clothes. It could happen when someone sees new and strange things, just like she was panicked and awkward wearing these small skirts.

But she was angered when she started using inappropriate words and used words like illiterate for the people in the past.
