NiNi did not realize that she cause another ruckus on her Weibo. There is a video where she sings goes viral and everyone watched it. They fill NiNi"s last post with their comments. Majorities of them praise her voice and scold her that she wasted her talent.
When she found out that her phone was overheated because of all the notification, she can only sigh and put her phone away.
"I thought I"m not famous yet." She said to herself, mumbling as she read the script again. This is her last week on the set as she will be killed the day after tomorrow. After that, she only needs to come when the director asks her to retakes some scenes.
It was 01.35 late at night, and she has one scene before she could go to her hotel room and sleep peacefully.
Yawning, she covers her mouth with her hand, leans her head to LuLu"s shoulder. She was waiting for Li Ying shots a romantic scene with Yun Zhe. They have to kiss in the middle of the lake as the fake moonlight shone beautifully.
However, Li Ying keeps making mistakes with her lines that they have to retake the scene so many times. NiNi almost falls asleep waiting for them to finish the scene. She starts to think that Li Ying deliberately keeps making mistakes to kiss Yun Zhe over and over again.
After all, Yun Zhe is handsome.
"CUT! CUT! CUT! Never mind, forget it, let just edit it. No matter how many times we shot it won"t turn out like what I want." The director said with the remaining energy left. He has scold people, especially Li Ying the whole day that he was worn out.
"NiNi, your scene next." The director said as he sits again on the director sits.
Taking off her windbreaker, NiNi appears wearing the pink robes as she was already demoted from the empress positions.
Tonight"s scene is especially heartbreaking, Li Zhi Zhi saw how the emperor kisses Xiao Meng Wa with so much gentleness. It breaks her heart as she stood at the pavilion near them.
It was her last week in this world. Yes, she planned something that would take her life, but she has to do it to protect her family. She was strolling around the garden to enjoy the beautiful night, just to find out that inside the emperor"s heart isn"t for her anymore.
She looks at them with hearted and pain, as she squeezes her handkerchief to release the pain. Her face was just as beautiful as ever as she thinks of the plan to meet the emperor.
Viciously, she broke the teacup and cut her wrist with the teacup. She actually wears extra silicon skin as she cut her own wrist. But she pressed on the cup too much that she cut her real skin a little.
Her personal maid, Xiao Tong fake a screams as she frantically runs to Li Zhi Zhi and tries to stop her. Hearing the noise from afar the emperor came to take a look.
"Zhi er, what happens?" the emperor furrows her eyebrow, looking at Li Zhi Zhi with suspiciousness. She makes so many mistakes that the emperor didn"t believe her anymore. Li Zhi Zhi cries painfully as she refuses to look at the emperor.
"Why you just look at your master? Quick call the imperial doctor!" The emperor is irritated, as he decides to take a look at Li Zhi Zhi"s delicate wrist.
"Zhi"er did you really have to do this just for attention? Zhen is very disappointed with you." The emperor said, hold the beautiful hand as he personally stops the bleed by tying a handkerchief at the wrist.
"Shhhh…" Li Zhi Zhi moaned as she felt the real pain from the little cut. Looking up, Li Zhi Zhi looks at the emperor handsome face with pitiful eyes.
"Emperor, I have a request, do you willing to her this concubine request?" she said with a soft hoa.r.s.e voice, with a face and voice like that, no man in this world can resist. So do the emperor.
"Cough, Xiao Meng Wa you go back first." He instructed, indicating that he wanted to stay with Li Zhi Zhi. Xiao Meng Wa nodded like a virtuous wife she is, following the emperor"s instruction.
"… say, Zhen will listen." The emperor said, hiding his left hand on the back of his body. Lowering her gaze to the golden robe, Li Zhi Zhi tucks her hair behind her ear as she said.
"Can Zhen stay a little longer and accompany this concubine to play the Gu Qin like the old time." She said with weak voice as she make a plead eyes.
"You hurt your hand how could you play the Gu Qin?" the emperor frown, brush off Li Zhi Zhi"s ideas.
"It"s only hurt a little, this concubine really wanted to play Gu Qin for the emperor." She said, wiping her tears away as she walks slowly to the emperor, slowly hug him. The emperor"s heart who actually has always doted her melted. He forgets the bad thing she did that instant.
"Alright, don"t think too much, let"s get rest early." The emperor said, indicating that he would spend the night with Li Zhi Zhi. Li Zhi Zhi faces lighted up, she smiles gently as the emperor hug her back.
"Emperor let"s stay here for a while." She looks up to the emperor handsome face, bring her delicate jade-like hand to caress the emperor"s face, tears piled up on those beautiful eyes as she smiles.
The emperor"s face froze, his body stiffens when he watches Lin Zhi Zhi caress his cheek. Like it was the goodbye for them and both of them smart enough to understands. Shaking his head as he touches Li Zhi Zhi"s hand on his cheek tears piled up on the emperor"s eyes too.
"Li Zhi Zhi, I beg you, don"t do it." He pleads, still shaking his head. Li Zhi Zhi"s smile was gentle, as her warm hand keeps caress the emperor"s face.
"Let"s be a normal husband and wife in our next life." She said as she tiptoed and kiss the emperor.
"CUT! NICE IT"S A WRAP FOR TODAY, GOOD JOB!" The director shout, their lips just touched for a second and the director"s face was white scared already.
Yun Zhe was disappointed, but he is also professional. Changing their clothes and wiping the makeup everybody was happy that NiNi only needs one try for such a difficult scene.
"If only the first lead is NiNi, we might finish early every day." One crew said to another crew, gossiping as they work.
"Right, that Li Ying can"t act but she got the first role whose has so many lines."
"I know right, she can"t even remember he lines today making us retake for 9 times. I"m so tired." They complained. NiNi heard them from the makeup room, but she decides to ignore them and just quickly get some rest.
As long as she gives the best on her work than it"s enough. She didn"t care about other things.
Removing the fake silicon, LuLu was panicked when she saw the cut. She quickly treats the wound with the first aid they personally prepared.
NiNi was surprised when she saw that the first aid is very complete, but she can"t find any betadine inside. Her skins sometimes allergic to betadine so she rarely used it, but not many people know about it.
This first aid box inside is very unusual, the drugs inside were just like the drugs she used at home. There is no way the normal first aid looks like this.
"Who arranged this first aid?" NiNi asked carefully as she watched LuLu treat her wound.
"Oh, president w.a.n.g a.s.sistant give it to me on the first day I a.s.signed to work with you," LuLu answer honestly as she finished with her work.
"Oh.," NiNi said simply, helping LuLu clean up the mess after treating her wound. But there is a gentle smile on her face as well as the warmth on her heart. This time w.a.n.g Kai"s little attentiveness really touched her heart.
She walks to her room in a hurry as she clenches her phone. She quickly cleans herself with warm water and wears the white robes before she opens her overheated phone to call someone.
However, the dumbphone didn"t even let her slide to unlock. Pouting she scolds the stupid phone with an irritated tone.
"Stupid phone, you are so expensive but so useless! Fine since you have a fever, I will treat you." She said as she walks to the cooler and places her phone inside. After she stupidly put her phone to the cooler she decides to call from the hotel telephone.
Pressing the number she recalls without even think about it again, she happily rolls on the bed as she waited at someone to pick up the phone.
Tut.. tut.. tut..
She was rejected!
Then she remembers, w.a.n.g Kai never answers an unknown number on his personal cellphone.
Annoyed she put the telephone at the cabinet beside her bed roughly as she stomps her feet to take back her stupid phone.
Stupid phone: "see you still need me."
She doesn"t know is she is a genius or what, but her phone magically works again after she placed it on the cooler.
Calling the person she was dying to talk to again, she sits on the bed, biting her lips as she waits impatiently.
"Em?" when she heard that man"s deep voice, she can"t hold back her smile. She playfully rolls back and forth at the bed.
"Xiao Ni? What happens? Why aren"t you talking? Are you okay?" he asked consecutively. He started to feel worried as NiNi didn"t say anything, he was on the urge to take his car key and drove to NiNi"s place.
"I"m okay, I"m fine." NiNi giggles as she enjoys the attention.
"Oh…" w.a.n.g Kai"s body relaxed when he heard her giggles. It was like music to his ears, making him happy.
"Ekhem… so… what are you doing?" NiNi asked. When w.a.n.g Kai heard her weird question he can"t help but helplessly ma.s.sage his temple. They were talking to each other and she still asks what is he doing right now?
"What do you think?" he said with helpless tones.
"You must be sleeping like a pig!" NiNi laughed, gleefully she hug a pillow.
"Am not you." w.a.n.g Kai said turning his body to his right side to reach for a pillow.
"Hah, only pig understand pig"s language." NiNi wrinkles her nose.
"Okay, you win you win!" he said before he heard NiNi yawns voice.
"You just finished working? At this time? Isn"t this branching the contract? I"ll prepare my lawyer team to sue them." w.a.n.g Kai said seriously, his voice turns rigid as he furrows his eyebrow.
"NoNoNo, I suddenly woke up and decide to wake you up too." NiNi lied, w.a.n.g Kai"s reaction is a bit exaggerating, isn"t he?
"Oh… sleep again then, you are tired." His voice turns gentle and soft again, it was soothing for NiNi as she yawns again.
"Okay… Oh, I just want to tell you something." NiNi said as she closes her eyes, resting them. NiNi can hear w.a.n.g Kai"s regular breathing.
"You are one of the best things that appear in my life, thank you for everything." She said sincerely as she hugs her pillow.
"…" w.a.n.g Kai was stunned from the other line. His cold apartment suddenly felt warm and lovely as he listens to her sweet talk.
"Such a smooth talker." He said both of his corner lips raise up creating a rare smile at his handsome face.
"Heh, I simply appreciating your existence in my world so I don"t have any regret if I die tomorrow," NiNi said with a soft voice, smiling happily on her own.
"Choi! What are you saying!" he scolds NiNi with a super serious voice like he was scolding his subordinate at a meeting.
"Hehehe, just kidding but It"s true though. I don"t want to live in regrets tomorrow." Her voice was soft and smooth, like a sweet etude on w.a.n.g Kai"s ears, it was contagious. But her words touch his heart deeply.
"Then should I say something I want to say too so I won"t live in regrets tomorrow?" he asks, her heart rate increase rapidly as he was about to say something very serious. It might affect his life in a certain way.
"En!" she answers instantly, appearing very excited at w.a.n.g Kai"s sudden ideas. Swallowing hard, w.a.n.g Kai looks at the ceiling at his rooms.
"If I say that Song Yun"s son is not mine, would you believe it?" He asked her, finally.
"…" there was silence on the other lines, w.a.n.g Kai heart drops when he doesn"t get the response from the other person. Just when he wanted to check whether has she hung up on him, NiNi finally answers him.
"I do, I believe you."
It was a simple line that changes his whole life.
