Chapter 958 - Bai Qi

What kind of person was his true self?

Liu Chengcheng couldn’t see through him.

At this moment, there was a sharp braking sound and the car came to a halt. It caught Liu Chengcheng by surprise. Bang! Her head crashed into the windshield in front of her.

“Ah!” She screamed out of fear.

Zhou Yao, who was beside her, had already gotten out of the car. Liu Chengcheng looked up and saw that Zhou Yao’s handsome and tall figure had already crossed the road. When he crossed the road, several cars had to stop out of fear. The car owners rolled down the window and cursed —— who are you.., crossing the road like this is simply courting death. Do you want to die?

Liu Chengcheng saw Zhou Yao ran into an alley. What was he going to do? Liu Chengcheng quickly got out of the car and chased after him.

Walking in the alley, she saw that Zhou Yao stood around the corner.

Zhou Yao raised his eyebrows and licked his dry, thin lips. When he spoke, his voice was completely hoarse and trembled. “Is it... you?”

His black eyes were filled with gentleness and sadness, “Is it... you? I saw you again just now. I saw you... enter this alley and then turn around the corner and disappear... Yesterday, when I sent... our son to kindergarten, I saw you too. You... stood among a sea of people. But when I. . . was about to search for you, you disappeared again...”

“Is it you? Honey...”

After four years, when he called out “Honey” again, his heart still felt as if it’s being torn in half. Who said that time was the best medicine for healing wounds? Bullsh*t!

His wounds did not heal at all. He was still in pain, even more than four years ago.

The man’s built back was a little hunched. He reached out his right hand and slowly caressed the wall, “Honey, it’s you, right? I can’t be mistaken. I’ve been... waiting for you. You’re finally... came back. Are you... playing hide and seek with me? Good, very good. I like this game very much... Stand still and wait for me... Wait for me to catch you...”

Just now, he saw a figure from the car. It was Leng Zhiyuan’s. It looked just like her. She had once spent so many nights lying in his arms. He could not be mistaken.

It was quiet in the alley. He did not get any response.

However, his handsome features were immersed in great joy. He slowly moved his feet, turned around, opened his arms, and pounced forward. He closed his eyes. “Honey, I’ve caught you!”

However, his arms were empty.

Zhou Yao slowly opened his eyes. Where was the person in his arms? Where was the person in front of him?

Everything was his illusion!

He became like a stature that completely froze on the spot.

The emptiness in his eyes spread to his heart at the speed of light. In the past four years, his heart became empty. His soul had long been riddled with holes.

Every day spent waiting was an additional day of disappointment. When would this life of a wandering ghost finally end?

Liu Chengcheng remained where she was standing in shock. She watched as the man in front of her remained in that same posture for a long time. His posture looked amusing. There was clearly no one in his arms, yet he was hugging them very tightly.

Was he... going crazy?

...

Bai Qi took a few turns and left the alley. She looked down at her watch and frowned. Oh no, she was going to be late.

The Hall Master had sent her to be the martial arts director for a film crew, but she was held up by something. If she was to show up late, the Hall Master would definitely scold her.

She sped up and ran to the main street, then extended her arm to hail a taxi.

“Sir, go to the XXX film crew. Hurry up.”

The film crew.

Bai Qi rushed in and asked an actor, “Do you know where the producer is?”

“Oh, he’s over there.” The actor pointed in a direction.

“Thank you.” Bai Qi ran to the producer and politely bowed. “Hello, my name is Bai Qi. I was sent by Bai’s martial arts academy to be your martial arts director. I’m sorry that I’m two minutes late.”

The producer looked up at Bai Qi. She had very ordinary facial features but was somewhat delicate. This face would definitely be lost in a crowd of people. However, the producer still took a few more glances because the woman had a pair of clear gray eyes that were full of exotic charm. Although it’s a shame that those eyes were on such a face, they did increase her charm.

“It’s ok. It’s only for two minutes.” The producer sighed after saying that. “Anyway, our female lead hasn’t arrived yet. I don’t know if she will even show up.”

The female lead hasn’t arrived yet?

Bai Qi raised her head and looked around.

“Director, producer, I’m back.” Liu Chengcheng cat-walked over with a prideful expression.

The producer quickly went up to her. “Aiyo, my goodness. You’re finally back. I’ve been waiting for forever. Hurry up and get ready. We’re ready to shoot your scene. It’s a fight scene.”

“A fight scene?” Liu Chengcheng became displeased instantly. “Then let the stunt double do it. With my delicate skin, what if I get hurt?”

“This scene requires a front shot of your face. We can’t use a stuntman. You won’t get injured, so don’t worry. Look, this is the martial arts director I hired for you. She knows kung fu, don’t underestimate her skills.” The producer pointed at Bai Qi.

Liu Chengcheng glanced at Bai Qi. Aside from those somewhat appealing eyes, she was an ordinary woman. Actually... Liu Chengcheng examined Bai Qi’s figure from top to bottom. Bai Qi’s figure was really f*cking good. Her breasts were neither big nor small. They were well-developed. Her figure was alluring. Her butt was firm and round, and her waist was thin as a willow branch. Perhaps because she practiced martial arts all year round, her body was fit and flexible.

Liu Chengcheng was about to vomit blood. She had just been humiliated by Zhou Yao, and now the heavens were also not on her side. With a woman who was the perfect representation of Zhou Yao’s type, was she hallucinating?

Liu Chengcheng was crazy jealous. She gave Bai Qi a very unfriendly “humph”.

Bai Qi kept her cool. She had a cold personality and wouldn’t get angry because of some irrelevant people.

The producer urged, “Alright, my goodness. Hurry up and get your makeup fixed. We’ve been waiting for the whole day, hurry up!”

...

After Liu Chengcheng was all fixed up, she started the test run. The producer explained in detail, “So you need to swing your sword like this. The movements need to look experienced and cool. Spread your legs as far apart as possible.”

“Got it,” Liu Chengcheng snorted unwillingly. She made a pose with the sword casually.

The producer shook his head repeatedly. He looked at Bai Qi. “Miss Bai, I’ll leave Chengcheng to you.”

“Okay,” Bai Qi nodded.

“Miss Liu, your entire body needs to lean forward as you swing the sword.” Bai Qi reached out and pressed down Liu Chengcheng’s back.

“Ouch, it hurts, it hurts! Be gentle!” Liu Chengcheng quickly shouted. She glanced at Bai Qi with disdain and hostility. “You are a weapon-wielding person. You have no idea how delicate my body is. Don’t injure me.”
