Chapter 76. Do you like...? (1)It"s was the scene of a room. Many things were scattered on the floor. The room was old and the floor has dust all over it.
Two people were arguing with each other in the room. They were Ren and Xiao Rin. They were currently doing a scene together.
"Yiren, tell me why did you hide your illness from me?"
Ren said while shouting. He was glad to meet his dead sister again but he still didn"t the reason he had acted indifferently with him.
It was one of the regrets in his life.
"I told you, I don"t know anything about the illness. Stop asking me that."
Xiao Rin shouted stubbornly at Ren. She was trying to hide the truth till the last minute.
"Yiren, I am saying it the last time. Please tell me the truth yourself."
Ren said as he looked at Xiao Rin with somewhat pleading eyes. He was meeting his dead sister after such a long time but his sister was being stubborn to the end.
He was frustrated seeing that.
"I told you that I am fine. I don"t need...."
"Cough!!"
As Xiao Rin was saying her lines, she suddenly started coughing. She squatted down on the floor.
"Yiren, are you okay?"
Ren quickly came close to her with worried expression as he also squatted down and rubbed her back.
"Are you okay? Let"s quickly go the doctor."
Ren said as his expression changed to of great worry. He had already lost his sister once, now that he had gotten a second chance, he wanted to save her.
"Don-don"t touch me. "Cough", I am fine….."
Xiao Rin said while coughing. Her acting was really realistic and she was skillfully showing the image of a stubborn and dying girl.
"Yiren, look at me. Why are you so stubborn. I told you I know about your illness."
"You don"t know anything "Cough", I told you I am fine "Cough", I am perfectly healthy."
"Yiren!!"
With that shout, Ren enveloped Xiao Rin in a hug and tears streamed down Xiao Rin eyes when she felt her brother"s warm arms.
"Why, why do you know about it? I, I tried to hide it for so long!! Why??"
Xiao Rin said as she wailed and Ren consoled her as he tightly hugged her.
"Do you really think you can hide it from me? I am your brother."
"But, but that means you know I am doing to..."
"Don"t say that. Yiren, I will definitely save you. I told you, right. I am your brother, I will protect you."
"Cut!!!"
The scene ended with that but Xiao Rin and Ren were still hugging each other on the floor.
More specifically, it was Xiao Rin who was tightly clinging to Ren.
"Hey, why are they still hugging each other?"
"Maybe they are too much immersed in their role."
Ren tapped Xiao Rin"s back when he heard the whispers of the staff as he said.
"Xiao Rin, the scene is already over."
After tapping her back several times, Xiao Rin finally came out of her stupor. She quickly got away from Ren and stood up.
"Sorry, I was just too immerse in my role."
Xiao Rin said while bowing her head.
"Don"t worry about it. You were amazing in your role."
Director Fu said as he laughed. He was really happy to get such a realistic scene.
He was also glad that his actors were too immersed in their roles. All the other staff members also thought nothing.
They just thought that Xiao Rin was too observed in her scene but there was a person who didn"t thought like that.
"Was it really her being too immersed in her role?"
Ren didn"t think that Xiao Rin was too immersed in her rule, he rather felt that she was distracted.
It may not be worth mentioning but Xiao Rin has been acting distracted from time to time since coming to the set.
Ren thought that it was her excitement at first but now, he thought differently.
"Am I thinking too much?? Or...."
Slowly, a bad premonition kept forming in his head. He didn"t want to think like that but he was not able to stop himself from thinking like that.

"Here, take one more blanket. The weather is freezing. We can"t have you getting a cold or something."
White bear said to Ren as they both sat near their van enjoying a bonfire.
They were currently on a outdoor shoot and it was 1 AM in the morning which means that it was pitch black.
The only source of light was the cameras, the bonfire and the lighting equipments.
Ren didn"t wanted to be outside on a cold night but he can"t do anything as there were some stargazing scenes in the drama and coincidentally, stars were visible in the sky tonight.
"Hey, Ren what are you thinking?"
White bear suddenly said to Ren surprising him.
"Do I really look distracted?"
"Yeah, it"s written on your face that you are thinking about something important. You can tell me about it if you want."
White bear was right. Ren was indeed thinking about something important. It was something that is deeply troubling him.
He didn"t knew how to talk about it as it was a sensitive matter but he still asked White bear.
"What do I do if someone I know suddenly started liking me?"
White bear made a shocked face when he heard that. He exclaimed while trying to lower his voice.
"What do you mean by that? Are you dating someone?"
"No, no, I told you I am single and I also don"t plan to date anyone currently. I am asking about what if somebody started liking me."
"A one sided love?"
"I don"t even know if it"s love. It"s just a premonition."
Ren said as he glanced towards Xiao Rin who was busy talking with Director Fu.
Ren had been observing her for some days now and he noticed many things.
He noticed that Xiao Rin acts completely different when she is with him.
While talking with others, she would have a indifferent or poker face expression but she was always smiling when she is with him.
Ren had not thought about these things previously but when he thought about it, he noticed that Xiao Rin was indeed different when she is with him.
He was not some dense fool who can"t understand these things but he didn"t did anything as he still was not able to confirm it.
"I don"t know much about it but isn"t it better to just ask directly."
"Huh?"
Ren made a confused expression when he heard that.
"I mean, you will hurt the person if you things stayed the same way forever. Isn"t it better to ask these types of things straightforwardly."
"Ask directly?"
Ren pondered over White bear"s words as he looked towards Xiao Rin.
