Chapter 1: The Beginning (1)
When Su Mu Xing received Pei Nan Chen’s message, that he going to the apartment to “rest” at about 10 o’clock, she was playing a small role of a palace maid who was given a poisonous red poison by a noblewoman in an online drama “The Concubine Is Not Good” in the studio in the suburban ancient town.
At 9 o’clock in August in midsummer, the temperature is so hot at night. The crew stays up late to start work. Su Mu Xing lies on the dusty road with a thick cotton padded robe wrapped around her unkempt head. Bright headlights with baking heat shine on her delicate and beautiful face, though she is painted with heavy face makeup. Although she is play as a ‘corpse’, she still look so beautiful, which gave the man an impulse to bully her hardly.
It’s a pity that even the beauty is just extra in this drama.
No background, no resources, no money. In the entertainment circle full of beauties, just good look are useless.
At best, she was only stepping stone.
The fat director in front of the camera stared at Su Mu Xing who was lying dead for a long time, and couldn’t help but touch his chin. If this extra is a bit ambitious and wants to climb up, she should knock on his door tonight.
Maybe he can make a serious supporting role for her!
“Director, is this OK?” Fat director stared at Su Mu Xing for a long time and forgot to shout “Card”. He was reminded by the assistant next to him in a low voice, so he shouted quickly.
Su Mu Xing doesn’t have a line or a chance to show her face in this online drama. She just runs as s extra, she only need to lies quietly on the ground for half an hour. Then, the director calls “card”, and she immediately gets up from the ground. She doesn’t care to wipe the dirty mud on her body. She quickly runs to the backstage dressing room of the crew.
Su Mu Xing runs to the dressing room in a hurry. Her agent Abby sees it and immediately catches up with her. Her tone is impatient: “Xing Xing, where are you going?” She finally managed to get her a small role in this drama.
She also wants to wait for everyone, to have a relationship with the director after the show!
“There is something at home, I have to go home right now.” Su Mu Xing looked back at Abby, her voice a little out of breath, and she continued to move.
Pei Nan Chen is a man with a strong sense of time. What he the hates most is waiting for someone.
In short, once, when she came back to the apartment a little late, he was very unhappy.
Sometimes think about it, Su Mu Xing really feels that he is evil.
They are not really male and female lover.
“What’s the matter, so urgent? The director said there would be supper. ” Abby looked at her panic look, and her neutral facial features suddenly brought a subtle “Rage without dispute” and a kind of not too refreshing look, she muttered in a low voice, “is your boyfriend outside your circle coming to you again?” Every time the girl rushes home from the cast, it must be for her mysterious boyfriend .
Abby is really convinced.
Mu Xing never met this man at ordinary times. He always look for Mu Xing in the evening.
He just met to sleep with her.
Abby is right. Pei Nan Chen comes here every time only to solve his physiological needs. But Mu Xing doesn’t want to talk too much with Abby about the relationship between her so-called “out of the circle boyfriend” and her. After all, it’s not a “bright” relationship between men and women. She sighs faintly in her heart, reaches out to stroke the end of her hair that covered with dirt. Su Mu Xing quickly pushed open the door of the dressing room, and her pitiful little voice asking Abby to leave: “Abby, I won’t go tonight.” To put it bluntly, she is just a small supporting role like sesame seed. She has no lines.
There are so many people in the cast. The director just wants to invite her. Su Mu Xing knows what’s the meaning of it.
She didn’t really want to follow the hidden rules.
She wants to see if she can be famous by her own efforts
Abby hears the words, knows the little girl’s mind, she shakes her head at once, strides her legs to follow in, sighs and says: “forget it, I’ll go back with you, even if I stay here, it’s useless.” The director obviously wants to invite Mu Xing to eat, but Mu Xing doesn’t go. Even if she goes, people will feel it just perfunctory.
Gain and losses.
Su Mu Xing sat down in front of the dressing table and began to remove the makeup and wash the dirt on her hair.
Abby took advantage of her spare time, took out her mobile phone to give the director an excuse to refuse and say good words for Su Mu Xing.
With her hypocritical good words, Su Mu Xing can go this time.
Abby holds her chest with her both hands, turns her face and looks at the woman who is taking off the blouse with her head lowered. Without the exaggerated face,her eyebrows and eyes are clean and transparent, and the her skin is more like freshly cooked white egg.
It’s white, tender and smooth.
A pair of autumn eyes are as bright as stars, her bridge of nose is high and straight, and her small cherry lips have their own natural rednedd. When she smile, there will be two specially sweet little pear vortex. This kind of look is really good-looking and sweet. It just… her resources are too poor.
Their company is busy holding other newcomers, and there is no good script for her.
Abby herself is only a short-term agent, she has limited resources, and she only has a few good shows and scripts.
But even so, she still doesn’t want to give up Su Mu Xing, who she signed first. She believes in her own vision.
She’s bound to be very popular in the future.
“I’m ready.” Su Mu Xing put on her skirt and got up. Instead of the excitement of going home to see her boyfriend, she felt “used to it.” let’s go
Abby didn’t know what was going on between her and her “out of the circle boyfriend.” She reached over her shoulder and said, “OK, go home.”
When Su Mu Xing sat down in the back chair of the broken nanny car, she began to massage her temples. Then she held her chin and looked at the street lamp outside the dark glass window, thinking.
Pei Nan Chen hasn’t come to see her for nearly ten days, not to say how eager she is to see him.
Anyway, every time he comes to the apartment, it’s for sex.
She didn’t really want to continue the relationship with him.
But she still owe him a sum of money.She can only leave after she have paid off his money.
Thinking of this, Su Mu Xing suddenly feels a little heavy. Her thin cherry lips slowly press out a helpless arc. She has been with him for a long time, but he never care about her at all. He only needs her to vent.
