At 25, Zhou Hui was at a dead end in both body and soul. Working as an on-set scriptwriter in Hengdian, she discovered that an old acquaintance had become a C-list star, wearing a face as lovely as peach blossoms while playing the silly, sweet ingenue.
"When we were in the middle class at kindergarten, you fought me for the mental arithmetic championship. In fifth grade, you competed with me in poetry recitation. In ninth grade, we entered an English competition together. In the second round of mock exams, your core subject scores came in just below mine. I never thought that after entering showbiz, you wouldn't even know how to add and subtract numbers under fifty."
Weng Lingfei smiled generously.
"We were at each other's throats as kids, but now that we're grown up, we can be acting partners."
The most miserable thing that ever happened to Zhou Hui was understanding the relief in Weng Lingfei's eyes at that moment.
Then, in an instant, she mentally hurled every swear word she'd never said in her life.
Who had grown up? As far as she was concerned, Weng Lingfei had been dead all these years. Now she could just keep living.
Who said she'd made peace with her? As long as she was still breathing, Zhou Hui would never write Weng Lingfei a happy ending, and that included an ending for the two of them.
Weng Lingfei's most confident hunting tactic was to say, "Forget it," whenever Zhou Hui was disheartened.
At eighteen, Weng Lingfei used this trick on Zhou Hui after she lost a competition and angrily snapped her pen. Now, she was still writing.
At twenty-five, Weng Lingfei still used the same tactic to counter Zhou Hui's disappointment.
If rice has turned to mush and stuck to the pot, can it still become the moonlight in someone's heart?
Zhou Hui said, "I've got a show about to start filming. Want to be my leading lady? The kind of scumbag who has no heart, gets no redemption in the end, sleeps around with men and women, and quits showbiz the day after the show airs."
Weng Lingfei smiled boldly. "A role playing myself? I'm in. Absolutely."
I'd promised to be your leading lady when I was eighteen.
