At this moment, Zhang Zhehan remembered the eyes of a man that were looking at him with full of hatred and resentment. He remembered clearly that day when he went to pick Li Xiaolu after her interview had ended, he saw a handsome guy with her.Was that him?
Was that really his Long Xun?
Zhang Zhehan couldn"t tell. Maybe that guy had the same name as his best friend or maybe that guy is him, his best friend. He couldn"t be a hundred percent sure. If only, that day he could have got off from his car and he could meet that man, then maybe he could get any clues or say something about the situation.
There were many things that pointed, that this guy was his best friend. For example, the way that guy looked, or the way he stood like King, the way he carried himself was just like how he can imagine his best friend would be. But what if he is not his Long Xun?
Zhang Zhehan was so immersed in his thoughts that he didn"t even realize when Li Xiaolu called him for over a few times.
"Zhehan what are you thinking? Where are you lost?" Li Xiaolu said shaking his arms.
"Huh?" Zhang Zhehan said breaking out from his daze. Looking at her he said, "Nothing. Just thinking about this Long Xun guy."
"Oh! What about him?" Li Xiaolu asked him curiously.
"Nothing, just thinking about how rich he might be to send you such an expensive gift, " he said not telling her about his actual thoughts. It was not that he wanted to hide something from her. But before telling her, he wanted to be sure that this guy was really his best friend, Long Xun.
He had to investigate this matter. And also he had to notify Tang Jun about this. Zhang Zhehan thought.
He didn"t want to talk much about it. He just quietly listened to his wife as she spoke about her dress, her earrings, and the next day events which were very important to her. This night was bound to be a sleepless night for him. Even though he laying on his bed with Li Xiaolu in his arms, he couldn"t sleep. He was restless. Kissing her forehead, he just wished that wherever his friend was, he should be safe and sound.

The next day, Li Xiaolu and Zhang Zhehan were extremely excited. Today was the pre-screening of her film, "Shades of Love." Although this was an experience she had gone through many times, in her past life, it still made her nervous and excited at the same time.
The pre-screening of the film, "Shades of Love" started. Zhang Zhehan and Director Ye had already invited many big people from the entertainment industry. As it was Li Xiaolu"s first movie he wanted to do everything he could.
Li Xiaolu and Zhang Zhehan also attended the pre-screening in their matching outfits along with the rest of the actors and people involved in it. They were seated a few seats apart from each other. As the movie went on the big screen, they would occasionally glance at each other, talking with their eyes.
Zhang Zhehan was feeling so proud of her that he couldn"t even describe the amount of joy and happiness that he was feeling. Li Xiaolu was also feeling the same. She was so overwhelmed by the feeling of seeing her face on the big screen. Acting in a movie was one thing, but watching herself on a big screen gave her feeling which was on a whole different level.
This was her dream. She was so happy and when she saw Zhang Zhehan looking at her with pride and love for her in his eyes, she was so joyous. And when he saw the Li Xiaolu was looking at him he mouthed the words, "I am proud of you and I love you".
Li Xiaolu was so happy. At that moment, she felt like getting up from her place and running into his arms. She mouthed back the same words, "I love you too."
When the two lovebirds were gazing into each other eyes and expressing their happiness and love to each other, somebody else was also watching them.
He was seated a few seats behind them in order to avoid Zhang Zhehan"s eyes. Watching her on a big screen, made him realize that she was born to be an actress. It made him so feel so proud of her. Watching the smile, that happiness and that joy on her face made him feel so happy. She was wearing his gift. Those earrings looked so pretty on her like it was only made for her. He felt so glad about watching her wearing his gift.
But when he saw her talking and smiling towards his enemy, his smile disappeared. Why did she have to be so good to that man?
Long Xun glared at Zhang Zhehan with so much hatred in eyes that even Zhang Zhehan felt it. When he felt someone"s eyes on him, he immediately turned back but he couldn"t see anyone because of the darkness. Shrugging his shoulders, Zhang Zhehan continued to watch the movie.
When the movie ended, all the people present there were so overwhelmed by the movie, that they indeed felt like they have taken a ride on a roller coaster of emotions. Their mouths were full of praises for the film, the acting, the directing and the script. The cinematography in the movie was so splendid and every scene was shot with so much ease and creativity, that made the movie so enjoyable.
The critics and the jury of the film were full of praises for the acting done by the actors and they specifically mentioned Li Xiaolu in their words.
"I was so happy with the script of the film. It was a very good movie. The actors have done a very good job of portraying their characters. But what I was most surprised was by the acting of Li Xiaolu. She was so good in the film. Her acting left me completely speechless. I can tell that this girl is going to have a very good career in the acting industry. She is a hidden gem, " one of the critics said.
"The movie was awesome. From the script to the acting, to the locations and the directing. Everything was just perfect. But what I was surprised was by the acting of Li Xiaolu. She was the dark horse of the film. Her acting was so realistic that I still got some gooseb.u.mps. Just for her acting, I can go and watch this movie again and again, " another critic praised.
