Chapter 36: Chapter 36 Sister Xi, Something Big Has Happened

Ning Xuexi, clad in high heels and black cropped pants that accentuated her long legs, wore red lipstick that exuded a compelling and fierce presence.

Ning Xuexi and Qiao Xi tread a similar path as cool and aloof beauties, unfortunately, Xuexi couldn’t match Qiao Xi’s beauty and lacked some allure.

Qiao Xi smiled warmly, "It was a pleasure working together."

Watching her smile, Ning Xuexi wanted to make sure she’d never smile again, to see how she could still be smug in front of her.

"Then, from now on, please guide me often, Senior Qiao."

Qiao Xi had entered the industry earlier than her, so calling her "Senior" was appropriate.

Qiao Xi, with a smile full of grace, responded, "It’s not guidance, let’s learn from each other."

So pretentious!

Ning Xuexi snorted and walked away with her assistant.

Bei Bei watched her retreating figure, "She seems really intense."

Wang Li patted Qiao Xi on the shoulder, "Baby, bring out the spirit you had when you almost finished filming the historical drama."

Qiao Xi: "..."

The next day, Qiao Xi arrived at the filming site in a van early in the morning.

Jiang City Film City is one of the largest film studios in the country, where many films and shows are shot.

It was no secret that Qiao Xi was starring in "Blossoms Old Dreams," and many fans were waiting outside the film city.

The moment Qiao Xi appeared, screams erupted from everywhere.

"Ah, Sister is so beautiful."

"Fairy Sister, look at me, look at me!"

Moving to a shaded area, Bei Bei put away the umbrella, and Qiao Xi turned to wave at the fans, offering a light smile, "It’s hot; make sure not to get heatstroke. Don’t wait here anymore, go back."

Though she appeared cool and fairy-like externally, she actually wasn’t that aloof as a celebrity in private.

Her long-time true fans knew this.

"Sister, all the best."

"Do well in filming, Sister, we are always here to support you!"

Bei Bei chuckled, "Right now, the fans must be thinking: ’Another day immersed in Fairy Sister’s magnificent beauty.’"

Qiao Xi’s photo entering the film set quietly climbed to number ten on the trending searches, her new film was yet expected.

As the leading lady, Qiao Xi had her own makeup room.

Just after she sat down, someone knocked on the makeup room door.

"Who is it?" Bei Bei went to open the door, her eyes widening in surprise, "Teacher Qin, what brings you here?"

The male lead of the drama, Qin Mo, had been nominated for best actor last year. Though he didn’t win, his talent was well recognized, and it was curious why he had taken this role.

Qin Mo was conventionally handsome and a standout among the younger generation. He didn’t seek publicity and was very down-to-earth.

Thus, Bei Bei had a good impression of him.

"I just saw Teacher Qiao. Have you guys had breakfast?"

Bei Bei blinked, "Ah?"

"My assistant bought too much breakfast. Here, take some so it doesn’t go to waste."

Before Bei Bei could respond, Qin Mo pushed the breakfast into her arms.

"Thank you... Teacher Qin."

Was Teacher Qin this nice?

From a hidden spot, Ning Xuexi emerged, watching the direction Qin Mo left, her expression coldly squinting.

Bei Bei kicked the door open as she walked back in, "Sister Xi..."

Qiao Xi lazily glanced at her, "You brought it, you eat it."

"But I’m so stuffed!"

Wang Li was sitting on the table, resting a hand on the back of Qiao Xi’s chair, "Baby, no dating, got it?"

Qiao Xi lifted her eyelids, staring straight at Wang Li, "Sister Li, did you forget? I’m married."

Wang Li: "..."

If not for her mention, she really would have forgotten.

But since Qiao Xi was sensible, Wang Li didn’t say more.

"Blossoms Old Dreams" was a Republic Era romance film.

Republic Era romances are often tragic.

Indeed, this was a tragedy.

In the end, the main characters Weiya and Li Zhi, unable to escape societal constraints, committed suicide together.

Their love was a stand against the world.

They celebrated love through death.

The first scene was them jumping off a cliff.

Seeing Qiao Xi step out in a cheongsam, she seemed to transform into Li Zhi herself, catching Director Ye’s eye.

Qiao Xi, in a dark red vintage cheongsam, perfectly outlined her figure, revealing only a glimpse of her fair ankles, yet still exuding enchantment and the unique elegance of that era.

She played the top courtesan, who engaged in the arts but not her body.

Qin Mo watched Qiao Xi intently; he took this film for her.

He felt his heart pounding violently.

"Okay, ready!" Director Ye’s voice was loud: "’Blossoms Old Dreams,’ the first scene, Action!"

At the director’s call, their gazes shifted.

Now, they were not Qin Mo and Qiao Xi, but Weiya and Li Zhi.

"Scared?" Qin Mo asked, his gaze glued to Qiao Xi’s face, as if to etch her into his heart, his eyes brimming so intensely that they seemed to envelop her completely.

At that moment, they were in love, unafraid of death, resolutely embracing their end!

This was the ending they chose for themselves.

"Not scared." Qiao Xi shook her head, a smile playing on her lips like a rose weeping blood.

She said, "With you here, I’m not afraid."

Qiao Xi didn’t understand love, even less experienced real love, but stepping into Li Zhi’s character, she seemed to grasp loving someone to the death.

Death wasn’t scary, only forgetting and separation were.

Qin Mo extended his hand, beautifully shaped, with a firm palm and slender fingers.

Qiao Xi placed her hand in his.

The camera lingered on their tightly clasped hands.

Step by step, they walked resolutely forward!

Director Ye shouted, "Cut! Fantastic!"

Qiao Xi immediately let go of her hand, she exited the role quickly.

Bei Bei came up holding a small fan.

Director Ye praised with a smile, "You two did well! I was worried about your first collaboration, but now I see there’s nothing to worry about. Keep it up."

Qin Mo’s hand felt empty, his gaze carrying a faint wistfulness, rubbing his hands behind him quietly.

If only he could hold on a little longer.

Next, they were to jump off a cliff, and the crew came to prepare Qiao Xi with wires.

The cliff winds were perennially unrelenting, burying countless bones beneath.

As the director called action, Qiao Xi and Qin Mo shared a last look, seemingly inscribing each other in their very marrow, then leaped off the cliff together.

The wind howled past, as if narrating their love through the mountain air!

The first scene passed in one take, and the rest of the day’s filming went smoothly.

Qiao Xi returned to the hotel after filming, it was already seven in the evening.

She collapsed on the couch, exhausted, watching as Wang Li packed, "Are you really leaving now?"

"Yeah, I only planned to accompany you for a day, I have to go back, there’s still work."

"Then be careful."

"Call me if you need anything."

Wang Li returned to Hai City.

For the next half month, Qiao Xi was continually between the film set and the hotel.

During this time, Qiao Zhenbin called a few times, but she didn’t answer because she was filming.

She didn’t bother calling him back after filming.

During a noon break, Qiao Xi lay on the couch in the rest area of the set.

Bei Bei burst through the door, phone in hand, rushing over, "Sister Xi, something big has happened!"
