Summer’s Desire

Chapter 12

Views:

The ward in the evening.

Outside the window, the sunset glows quietly, casting a red glow on the sky.

Ou Chen approached her, his eyes dark and full of deep emotion:

"What kind of relationship did you and I have five years ago?"

Her shock and confusion just now had completely fallen into his eyes. So, was she really in his life five years ago? Therefore, it seemed as if fate had been in his mind that he could never forget her since he saw her for the first time.

… …

In the bustling Rainbow Square…

When he first saw the girl from the car window, it was as if all the sunlight fell on her, and everything else faded into shadows. The sunlight on her was so strong that it blinded him for a moment. She seemed to be in a dizzying halo, and everything else in the world disappeared...

… …

In the late night bubble bar...

The girl's smile was faint, her eyes were also faint, her face as white as ivory and her long hair as thick as seaweed made her look like a lazy little mermaid. She was completely different from her performance at Rainbow Square that day. There was no trace of nervousness on her. Her singing was relaxed and beautiful.

… …

In the lobby of Leo Company.

The sun is bright and transparent.

There seems to be a flowing fragrance in the air.

She looked at him, her lips slightly pale, her eyes a vacant amber color. Suddenly, she closed her eyes, a resolute look flashed across her face, and she turned quickly and walked towards the lobby door.

She seemed not to hear him, and did not look back. She walked very fast, as if she wanted to escape. The sunlight shone on her back, with a cold shadow and a ruthless taste, just like the recurring scene in his nightmare...

… …

In an abandoned warehouse.

There was a soft feeling in her voice. He was startled and looked down at her in his arms. Her eyes were filled with star-like tears and her lips were as pale as lilies.

His heart suddenly became silent.

He suddenly wanted to touch her cheek with his fingers, gently, just touch her gently. Why did she always make him heartbroken so easily?

… …

"We were in love, weren't we?"

Ou Chen's breathing was a little disordered. The girl who had appeared in his dreams countless times in the past five years, but whose face he could never see clearly, the girl who made him so heartbroken that he couldn't breathe, the girl who refused to look back at him no matter how he called her...

That’s her…

Is it right…

at this time.

On the snow-white hospital bed, Yin Xiamo had gradually calmed down from the shock and confusion. Her lips were a little pale, her eyelashes were slightly raised, and her pupils looked at Ou Chen deeply.

Outside the window, the sky was full of colorful clouds. His aristocratic, arrogant and indifferent face seemed to have a golden border, and his eyes were full of strong emotions. Her heart tightened and hurt. Did he really lose his memory? Then why was he exactly the same as he was five years ago, even the way he stared at her was exactly the same.

But…

Maybe it's because of amnesia...

Indifferently, she recalled the night five years ago under the cherry tree. The night wind was cold. He looked at her in grief and despair. She threw the green lace into the air with a cold look. On that starless night, there was white mist in the courtyard. He called her desperately, and she turned away resolutely... She heard it...

actually…

She also saw...

However, the hatred of having her world destroyed in an instant made her lose her mind and vent her anger on him. On that night five years ago, she chose to hurt him in the cruelest way possible...

… …

"I saw everything you did to the young master." Butler Shen looked at her with a hint of hatred in his eyes. "Since you were able to hurt the young master like that, you probably don't have any feelings for him at all. So, don't let him remember you anymore. You've caused the young master too much pain."

… …

Yin Xiamo smiled calmly.

She looked so calm, not revealing the complicated and bitter feelings surging in her heart. The sunset gradually disappeared into the sky outside the window, and dusk fell. She gently lowered her dark eyelashes, and only her lips remained slightly pale.

"I don't know you."

The voice was very soft, just like the smoke of the past floating in the quiet ward. Let the past go, maybe it was her fault, maybe it was his fault, but if it has been forgotten, then forget it completely.

Ou Chen was shocked.

No, he couldn't be wrong, she recognized him! Her reaction just now, her dazed look, the way she stared at him, she must have recognized him five years ago...

"You lied to me."

He approached her angrily, his tall figure exuding a suffocating sense of oppression.

She looked at him quietly, like dewdrops on flower petals in the middle of the night, her amber eyes looked at him indifferently:

"Why would I lie to you?"

She smiled, and there was a nonchalant look in her smile.

"If I want to lie to the young master of the Ou Group, I should also lie to you and say that I knew you five years ago, that you loved me, and that I loved you... Unfortunately, I don't know you."

Let him forget it forever, forget the hurt she caused him, and never think of the painful memory again. And now, she is no longer the Yin Xiamo who could only rely on him to survive. She will take back everything she wants with her own hands.

The lights were off, and the ward was dim in the twilight. Her demeanor was so natural, and the hint of sarcasm in her tone suddenly shook Ou Chen, who was angry.

He stared at her intently.

With her long seaweed-like hair, fair face and light-colored lips, she just sat there quietly, but he wanted to keep looking at her like that.

"You really..."

His throat was hoarse.

Five years ago, was she really not in his life? Was he always lonely and empty? Why, he had been used to loneliness since the day he was born, but at this moment, his heart seemed to be filled with the twilight of the night. He pursed his lips, and his face gradually became cold and indifferent. If she didn't recognize him five years ago, then...

"Then from now on, stay by my side."

Ou Chen declared in an unyielding tone, holding her right hand that was not on an IV drip, and placed a cold kiss on the gauze on the back of her hand. His eyes were dark green, as if that was not a kiss, but a brand to her.

Yin Xiamo's fingertips trembled slightly.

So slight.

Her heart seemed to be blown by a gentle night breeze, and a circle of ripples slowly spread out, but soon disappeared.

She glanced at him.

A lazy, mocking smile:

"Does Young Master Ou always pursue girls like this?"

"Yin Xiamo." Ou Chen said in a deep voice.

"Don't tell me that you gave me the opportunity to compete for the advertising spokesperson just to pursue me," she leaned lazily on the hospital bed, raised the corners of her lips, "Unfortunately, I'm only interested in Leo's advertisement."

She met his gaze with a faint smile and no expression in her eyes. If she could endorse Leo's cosmetics, she might continue to meet him. It would be better for him to stay away from her.

"Date with me." Ou Chen stared at her, his eyes dark. He ignored the hidden pain in his heart and announced to her coldly, as if he had decided that it was a done deal and there was no chance for her to refuse. "If you can't fall in love with me after all, I will give you the right to break up."

Yin Xiamo was shocked.

Then.

Surprise and anger made her laugh.

Ou Chen is still Ou Chen, but she is no longer the same person she was before.

"impossible."

She put away the smile on her lips, her eyes were cold and indifferent. She couldn't go around in circles with him anymore, she would never allow the tragedy of the past to happen again.

"The reason." He pursed his lips.

"because… "

"Because she has a boyfriend." The night wind blew gently from the door of the ward, and a voice was as beautiful as white mist, a little evil and a little arrogant.

Yin Xiamo looked back.

The ceiling light in the ward suddenly lit up, and the darkness in the room dissipated instantly. Even though he was in the hospital, Luo Xi was still as beautiful as if he was in a scene with petals flying in the spring. He smiled at her and him on the bed. His smile was gentle and harmless, but it suddenly made Yin Xiamo's back a little cold. He walked over with a smile and sat on the left side of her bed.

She was silent, knowing that it was probably Zhen En who told Luo Xi where she was. At this moment, Ou Chen was on the right side of the bed, and Luo Xi was on the left side of the bed, just like in a movie. She should have been flattered, but unfortunately, she was too tired and hoped that both of them would disappear.

"Mo Mo," Luo Xi said gently, "You can't hurt other people's feelings, understand?" The two words Mo Mo escaped from his lips without any corny feeling, but lingering like a sigh.

Yin Xiamo glanced at him.

"When someone expresses his love to you, remember to tell him that you already have a boyfriend." Luo Xi caressed the gauze wrapped around her palm with a painful look on his face. Although his words were a little blaming, his tone was loving and caring, as if he loved her deeply. "Don't play with other people's feelings easily. If someone already has deep feelings for you, how will you deal with it then?"

She remained calm.

From the corner of her eye, she could see Ou Chen's hands gradually clenching into fists on the hospital bed. She hesitated and struggled for a moment, but in the end she just sighed secretly.

"Let her go."

Watching Luo Xi touch her fingers, Ou Chen said in a deep voice, his voice was icy cold, with a kind of aristocratic arrogance and indifference.

"Momo."

Luo Xi ignored him and just gently lifted her chin, forcing her to look at him. There was a tender and compassionate smile on his lips, but there was an unfathomable dark light in his dark eyes.

"Tell him who I am."

His voice was hot and he leaned closer to her.

Yin Xiamo pretended to look casually with the corner of her eye, only to see that Ou Chen's finger bones were clenched blue and white, and the veins on the back of his hand were throbbing. She felt a pain in her heart, as if a piece of glass had deeply cut her heart. She looked up at Luo Xi again, and his face was shining with beautiful light, like an angel of revenge in the dark night. She was slightly startled, and finally closed her eyes quietly, allowing Luo Xi to kiss her lips. Stay away from her. If you have forgotten her, then erase all traces.

She thought blankly.

Suddenly, her lips hurt. Luo Xi had bitten her lips hard, and the smell of blood rushed into her mouth. She opened her eyes in shock, and saw hatred in Luo Xi's eyes. Suddenly, this hatred turned into sad love. He kissed her gently, carefully wiped the blood from her lips with the tip of his tongue, and gently healed her wound.

Bedside.

Ou Chen stood up suddenly!

Looking at Luo Xi and Yin Xiamo kissing, Ou Chen's body seemed to be shaking in pain. He remembered this boy, the beautiful boy like pearls and jade who was with her in Rainbow Plaza and Bubble Bar.

He looked at Yin Xiamo in silence.

Her cheeks were slightly flushed, and she was immersed in the boy's kiss. She was breathtakingly beautiful. However, he could not look any further. The remaining light in his eyes was frozen inch by inch by the cold frost. Silently, it was as if a hole was dug out in his heart, dark and dead, as if there was no warmth in this world anymore.

From the bed to the door.

Like the distance from light to darkness.

Ou Chen walked out of the ward stiffly.

A gust of night wind blew, and the curtains were blown up violently.

Luo Xi let go of Yin Xiamo.

He stared at her coldly for a long while, as if it wasn't him who had just kissed her, and her eyes absentmindedly passed over Luo Xi's shoulder and looked at the empty door of the ward. She didn't want the memories of the past to hurt Ou Chen again, but now that he was gone, perhaps she would no longer exist in his life.

Her heart suddenly felt empty.

There was cold silence in the ward.

The liquid in the drip was finished, the nurse took the needle out of Yin Xiamo's wrist, and Luo Xi helped her get up. She struggled to walk by herself, he looked at her coldly, and held her tightly in his arms, causing her shoulders to ache, and she frowned in pain.

"Does it hurt?" Luo Xi smiled, "Don't worry, it won't hurt you more than it hurts me." His voice was low and soft, as if it was ground out between his teeth.

On the way home, Yin Xiamo stared out the window at night in a trance, while Luo Xi had a gloomy face. They were silent all the way. When the car arrived at her door, she stretched out her bandaged right hand to open the door, but he had already opened it for her. The night wind blew into the car, and she was ready to get out and leave.

Luo Xi suddenly swore under his breath.

He turned her body and glared at her: "Are you cold-blooded?"

"yes."

She said lightly, with a look of extreme fatigue between her brows.

The car door slammed shut! Luo Xi didn't even look at her again, he stepped on the accelerator coldly, and disappeared into the dark night. The night wind was cold, and she shivered with cold, hugged herself tightly, and slowly walked home.

******

Yin Xiamo stood at the door of her house, struggling to find the key in her bag. She didn't want to alarm Xiao Cheng, and didn't want Xiao Cheng to see her injured. Just as she found the key, the door opened from the inside. The bright light and the warmth mixed with the aroma of food rushed towards her. Yin Cheng smiled at her:

"You're back."

Yin Xiamo looked at him, and suddenly she turned her face away, feeling a soreness in her chest. The fear and fatigue of the day flooded towards her like a flood when she saw Xiaocheng, and her eyes suddenly turned red.

"Sister, you are hurt!"

Yin Cheng saw the gauze wrapped around her body and cried out in surprise. He also saw her evasive expression and could only suppress the urge to ask more questions. He supported her and made sure again and again that she was fine before he breathed a sigh of relief.

Yin Cheng carried the small dining table to the living room and let her eat on the sofa. For dinner, he fried two light dishes and made a pork rib and tea tree mushroom soup. The aroma drifted in the air, and Yin Xiamo suddenly felt hungry. She was about to get the soup spoon, but Yin Cheng stopped her.

"I'll do it."

He scooped a bowl of soup and blew on it gently to cool it down.

"You're not a child." She smiled and shook her head, "It's just that the palm of my hand is injured, there's nothing wrong with my fingers."

"How did you get hurt?"

Yin Cheng asked in a low voice, ignoring her refusal, insisting on bringing the small spoon to her lips, and looking at her quietly until she finally drank the soup.

Since he was very young, his mother sang in the bar, and it was his sister who took care of him. Whenever he was sick, she would gently test the temperature of his forehead with her hands, feed him mouthful by mouthful, and stay by his bed all night. When his condition was a little serious, her eyes were always red. But his sister never cried. In front of him, she always acted as strong as a tree. No matter what happened, as long as she was there, he didn't seem to have to worry about anything.

But she didn't know.

How he wished he was the brother and she was the sister, and he would take care of her and bear all the hardships so that she could be a princess who could cry or laugh whenever she wanted.

"It was a little unexpected." Yin Xiamo hid her hands quietly, smiled at him, and changed the subject, saying, "This soup is really delicious." She had a vague idea of ​​who had done the kidnapping today, but after all, there was no evidence, so there was no point in saying more. It was also because she was too careless that she gave the other party the opportunity to attack, so she should be more careful in the future.

Yin Cheng carefully blew the soup to cool it down.

He didn't say anything else.

He fed her slowly, spoonful by spoonful, each spoonful of soup was warm, and each spoonful of rice was topped with a mouthful of vegetables. He knew she was just trying to please him, and he didn't want to force her to say anything, so he could only let her eat well.

The atmosphere in the living room was eerily quiet.

Yin Xiamo looked at Yin Cheng uneasily, only to see that his black eyelashes were drooping and there was no expression on his pure face. He silently blew away the soup that he was going to feed her, but he himself had not eaten a single bite of food.

"Xiao Cheng..."

She spoke hesitantly.

“…Are you still mad at your sister?”

That day, because of his college entrance examination aspirations and her insistence on entering the entertainment industry, she accidentally hit him. Although she always regretted being too impulsive at the time, she had made up her mind and could not turn back, so she did not apologize to him. Neither of them mentioned that incident again, and Yin Cheng was still calm and gentle, but there always seemed to be something between her and him.

He paused in shock:

"Sister, how could I be mad at you?"

This answer without thinking made her chest feel like it was blocked by a surge of heat, and she suddenly forgot what to say. After a while, she whispered:

"sorry… "

"Sis," Yin Cheng interrupted her, "everything you've done for me since I was little was for me. How could I not know that? How could I be angry with you? I don't want to hear you say 'I'm sorry'. It would make me very sad."

She gently stretched out her hand, and the gauze wrapped in her palm gently touched his cheek. When she hit him that day, her heart was bleeding. Her Xiao Cheng, her only relative in the world, she would protect him well, and she would never hurt him again, even if it was herself.

Yin Cheng smiled in her palm:

"I won't study architecture anymore. I'll listen to you. I'll go to the Fine Arts Department and become a painter that you can be proud of."

She smiled back: "You will be very good."

"Besides, I can send my paintings to galleries. If someone likes them, the income from the drawings can help supplement my family's income. I sent a few paintings a few days ago, and the gallery owner said that someone has already decided on them. He asked me to go and get the money in a few days." His eyes were pure and gentle. "Sister, you don't have to work so hard to support the family. Let me take care of these things in the future, okay?"

Her smile slowly froze: "Don't think about these things..." As long as he lives a good life, stays by her side, and she can see him, she will be happy.

“Don’t enter the entertainment industry.”

Yin Cheng suddenly said in a low and hoarse voice.

"That kind of place is too dark and complicated."

"What do kids know?" She smiled faintly. "As long as there are people, there will be darkness and complexity. It's the same no matter where you hide."

"But people in the entertainment industry resort to even more dirty and despicable means in their quest for fame and fortune."

"That's because fame and fortune can be gained more quickly in the entertainment industry, so the competition is doubly fierce," she sighed. "Since every industry is the same, why not use the shortest time and the most direct method to get what you want?"

"Sister, what do you want?" Yin Cheng stared at her.

Yin Xiamo pondered for a long time, then smiled: "I want to rely on my own strength to gain a foothold in this world, have enough influence and money to protect the people I want to protect, and not be defeated in the face of any sudden disaster."

Four years ago, she was locked up in that place, unable to take care of Xiao Cheng in the sickbed, and her family's property was looted. In the cold and damp room, she secretly swore that she must become strong, and she could not rely on anyone else, she must rely completely on herself!

"Even if accidents happen frequently?" He looked at the gauze on her hands and legs with sorrow.

"I'll be more careful next time."

"Even though I object, do you insist on entering the entertainment industry?"

He said breathlessly.

Yin Xiamo looked at him quietly.

Her eyes were as clear as water, flowing slowly over his face. She smiled, and with her right hand wrapped in gauze, she rubbed his soft short hair and said, "Fool, how long can you object?" Xiao Cheng's feelings for her were the same as hers for Xiao Cheng.

Yin Cheng's eyes dimmed. Was her determination so unshakable? He took a deep breath and smiled at her: "Okay, I support you then."

She was filled with mixed feelings.

Holding his arms, she leaned her head gently on his shoulder and whispered:

"Thank you."

Yin Cheng picked up the bowl again and tried it. It was still warm and edible.

"Would you like some more food?"

Yin Xiamo yawned, feeling tiredness coming over her, and she was so sleepy that she couldn't even open her eyes. She murmured, "... You haven't eaten yet... Heat it up... Eat more..."

When he turned his head to look at her.

She had fallen asleep on his shoulder.

Looking at her sleeping face, Yin Cheng was stunned. After a long while, he carefully let her sleep on the sofa and took a quilt to cover her body that was curled up like a baby. He turned off the main light in the living room, tucked the corner of the quilt in gently, then knelt on the floor beside the sofa and looked at Xia Mo in her sleep for a long time.

Wherever she goes.

He will always be by her side to protect her.

He had made this vow to himself four years ago when she had been imprisoned in that horrible place.

******

sun entertainment company.

After a few days of recuperation, Yin Xiamo's wounds have basically healed, and the new skin on her palms is pink and smooth, and it should not leave scars. Her skin seems to be fine, and the scar a few years ago did not leave any traces in the end. But she still needs to be careful to avoid getting hurt in the future. She knows very well that appearance is one of the most precious assets of an artist.

"Don't curl her hair too tightly, keep it loose and curly..."

Yin Xiamo smiled as she listened to Zhen En enthusiastically discussing the curl of her hair with the hairstylist. Zhen En had worked in a brand-name clothing store and a wedding photo studio, and had a lot of experience in clothing accessories and hairstyles. She still remembered the excitement and surprise on Zhen En's face in the bar the night before.

… …

There was lively music and flashing lights in the bar.

"Is it true?!" Zhen En took a taxi and rushed over after receiving the call. Without even bothering to greet Pan Nan who was sitting on the sofa next to her, she excitedly rushed to Yin Xiamo's side, tears flashing in her eyes with excitement. "The company said that you asked me to be your agent. Is it true? Is it true?! Am I dreaming?!"

Yin Xiamo smiled and nodded:

"It's true."

After the contract of advertising spokesperson of Leo Company was officially signed, Cai Ni first congratulated her, and then talked about the agent. He said that she had such a good opportunity when she just debuted, and the company was ready to train her vigorously. Originally, they planned to arrange Jam to be her agent, but Jam went abroad for a long vacation and could not come back in a short time, so they could only choose the best one from other agents to assign to her. She expressed her gratitude, but asked if she could consider letting Zhen En be her agent. Cai Ni was surprised, looked at her thoughtfully for a long time, and said that he would think about it. Since Zhen En had already known the news, Cai Ni should have approved it.

"But… "

Jane suddenly felt uneasy.

"I... I don't know anything... I've only been Vivian's assistant, and it hasn't been long... If I become your agent... I'm afraid it will affect your future..."

"Do you want to do it?"

Yin Xiamo stared at her. Everyone should have the opportunity to realize their dreams. She has already got the opportunity, and Zhen En should also have her own opportunity.

"I… "

Zhen En bit her lip. It was her dream to become a manager, but with no experience, she might not only fail to help Xia Mo, but might even hinder her. Xia Mo helped her out of friendship, and she would feel guilty if she delayed Xia Mo because of her.

"No one is born knowing everything." Yin Xiamo seemed to see through her thoughts and said to her with a smile, "As long as you put your heart into it, you can do it well."

Pan Nan stared at Xia Mo deeply, then looked at Zhen En who was struggling internally: "You may not be the best agent for now, but you may be the agent who wants Xia Mo to succeed the most and will devote the most effort to her success."

Jane's eyes suddenly lit up.

She picked up the beer on the small table, tilted her head back and drank it all in one gulp. She put the empty bottle back on the table with a thump, stared at Xia Mo, and said seriously:

"Xia Mo, I won't let you down!"

In the bar.

"May we—"

The three girls' beer cups clinked loudly in the air, and small bubbles splashed out. Pan Nan's first album was about to be released, Yin Xiamo's commercial was about to start shooting, and Zhen En became an agent. All the three of them needed was -

"-success!"

… …

“So beautiful!”

Zhen En's happy voice came from behind Yin Xiamo. She looked at herself in the makeup mirror. Her long, fluffy and curly hair hung quietly on her shoulders. She looked fresh, beautiful and natural. Today, she was going to Leo Company to meet the director of the commercial and the actor she was working with. This hairstyle was very suitable.

"Thank you, Sister Juan."

Yin Xiamo turned around and expressed her gratitude to the company's hairstylist Sister Juan.

"Thank you, Sister Juan!"

Zhen En also quickly bowed to Sister Juan.

"No need to thank me, you are so polite." Sister Juan waved her hand with a smile on her face and began to pack her makeup box.

At this time, the door of the dressing room was pushed open, and Yao Shuer and her new assistant Xiaozhu walked in. Xiaozhu had an extremely ordinary appearance, revealing a bit of silliness. She was a girl who had just been recruited into the company and was a bit clumsy in doing things. Yao Shuer looked a little bad, her face was pale, her eyes were dark, her footsteps were very light, and the whole person seemed to be floating in the air.

Jane was stunned.

Was it such a big blow to Yao Shuer that she failed to be the spokesperson for Leo? No matter what, she always looked gentle and lovely whenever she appeared in the company, with her makeup and clothes being flawless.

"Ms. Shu'er."

Yin Xiamo stood up and gave up the makeup seat by the window where she had just sat, even though there were still four empty seats in the dressing room. After she stood up, the other artists who were putting on makeup looked at each other, not knowing whether to stand up with her or continue sitting.

Yao Shuer looked at her strangely.

The atmosphere in the dressing room immediately became tense. Everyone knew that Yao Shuer had great hopes for the Leo ad. Who would have thought that when she took Yin Xiamo to the meeting, Yin Xiamo would snatch the opportunity away from her. Yin Xiamo was like this, and Wei An was also like this earlier. I don't know if Yao Shuer didn't have the eye for choosing an assistant, or if she was destined to always miss the opportunity to become famous.

"You're welcome, and you don't have to call me 'Miss Shu'," Yao Shu'er smiled weakly, walked to the most remote makeup mirror, and propped up the back of the makeup chair with her hands, as if she was so weak that she would faint at any time, "I can't bear it."

"Ms. Shu'er has always been supportive of the younger generation, how could she not be able to take on this responsibility?" The door of the dressing room was pushed open again, one assistant held the door, another assistant held the makeup box, Wei An walked and touched up her lipstick in front of the exquisite gemstone mirror, her eyes shining. Recently, the gossip has gradually subsided, and she has started to appear in some occasions again.

Yao Shuer's body suddenly became stiff.

Wei An sneered and glanced at Yao Shuer, then walked straight to the makeup chair that Yin Xiamo had vacated and sat down.

Jane frowned and tried to move forward.

"Let's go."

Yin Xiamo whispered that she had no intention of causing trouble over these trivial matters, and it was time to go to Leo's company. Zhen En saw her dissuading look, and looked at Wei An unwillingly, but finally gave up and took the bag on the dressing table and prepared to leave.

"You were kidnapped on the day of the audition at Leo Company, right?" Vivian screwed the cap of the lip gloss on, and Sister Juan combed her hair. She asked Yin Xiamo leisurely, as if she had no idea what kind of explosion this sentence caused in the dressing room.

“Kidnapping!!”

Zhen En exclaimed, she glared at Xia Mo, didn't she say that she was late because of the traffic jam, and that she injured her hands and legs because she accidentally fell while running?

The other artists also looked at Yin Xiamo in shock.

Yin Xiamo noticed Yao Shu'er in the corner from the corner of her eyes. She saw Yao Shu'er's fingers trembling on the armrest of the makeup chair as if struck by lightning. She sighed inwardly.

"Why didn't you go to the police station to report the kidnapping?"

Vivian looked at her coldly.

"Why do you say I was kidnapped?"

Yin Xiamo asked calmly. She had not told anyone about her kidnapping. Although Ou Chen knew it, he would never tell anyone because of his personality.

"There is no such thing as an impenetrable wall in this world." Wei An sneered, her expression already somewhat impatient, "What are you afraid of? You are so cowardly that you don't even dare to call the police when you are kidnapped. People will bully you even more in the future. Do you think that if you just endure it, the world will be peaceful?"

"Xia Mo..."

Zhen En called softly. She felt that Vivian's tone did not sound fake, while Xia Mo was so quiet that she couldn't tell what she was thinking.

"Sister Shuer! What's wrong with you?!"

Assistant Xiaozhu suddenly shouted, attracting everyone's attention. Yao Shuer's forehead was covered with sweat and her face was pale, as if she had fainted. Hearing Xiaozhu's shout, she waved her hands with difficulty and struggled to stand up, but her body swayed and she fell back heavily.

"You got sick just in time," Wei An said, half-smiled, with a cold light flashing in her eyes, "Yao Shuer, do you think you can get away with it by pretending to be pitiful every time?"

Yao Shuer's face was as pale as gold paper. She bit her lips tightly, and her forehead and neck were soaked with sweat. She looked like she was really sick. Xiaozhu nervously ran to get some water and medicine, and in her panic she knocked over the paper cup, soaking the table. The dressing room was in chaos.

Yin Xiamo silently withdrew her gaze from Yao Shuer. She smiled calmly and answered Wei An:

"Thank you. I will seriously consider how to deal with this."

Vivian looked at her for a long moment.

After thinking for a while, she took out a cowhide envelope from her handbag and handed it to Yin Xiamo:

"Perhaps you'll be able to use this."

The envelope was not very heavy, and inside was something square and felt like a photo or something. Yin Xiamo's heart trembled, and she stared at Wei An with her eyes slightly wide open, with many thoughts flashing through her mind.

Wei An turned around as if Yin Xiamo didn't exist. She motioned to Sister Juan to continue combing her hair, and started to make a phone call to ask her assistant to buy coffee. Yin Xiamo put the envelope away, and when she left behind her, she suddenly said in a low voice -

"Don't thank me, I did it for myself."

On the way to Leo's company, Zhen En kept staring at Xia Mo's handbag curiously and asked her why she didn't open the envelope to see what was in it. Yin Xia Mo smiled, but explained that she didn't tell her about the kidnapping because she was afraid that she would worry, and after all, it didn't cause serious consequences.

"You really were kidnapped!"

Jane was terrified. Isn't kidnapping something that only happens in movies? But she actually felt relieved. Just now when Wei An was talking, she felt vaguely hurt that Xia Mo didn't tell her about such a serious matter. Now that Xia Mo explained it to her, she felt relieved.

“We should call the police!”

Jane said angrily.

Yin Xiamo stared at the scenery passing by outside the car window, lost in thought.

******

Walking in the corridor of Leo Company, the employees on both sides greeted Yin Xiamo politely, and Yin Xiamo smiled politely. Today's meeting was organized by Leo Advertising Department. The advertising creative staff mainly introduced the overall advertising planning and the effects to be achieved. The official shooting will start from tomorrow morning.

At this time.

A group of people came towards them from the other end of the corridor, and the leader was Ou Chen. He walked with big strides while looking down at a document, pondered for a moment, and then reached out his hand. Simon put a pen into his palm, and he quickly signed his name at the bottom right of the document.

"Master!"

"Master!"

The employees of Leo Company bowed respectfully.

Yin Xiamo stopped walking. This was the first time she had seen Ou Chen since the hospital. She was stunned, and her mind flashed back to his stiff steps when he left the ward that day and the empty and open door of the ward.

Ou Chen also saw her at this time.

There was no expression on his handsome face, and there was a hint of gloom in his eyes, but it soon disappeared and turned into his usual indifference. Simon took the document he had signed, and Ou Chen indifferently withdrew his gaze from her, as if he didn't know she existed at all, and walked into the conference room. The head of the advertising department of Leo Company followed him in.

"Hey, the young master is here for the meeting too?" Zhen En said in surprise. She looked at the nameplate of the conference room and confirmed that the place where Ou Chen walked into was the meeting place that Xia Mo was notified of. "Leo Company is just one of the subsidiaries of the Ou Group. How come something like advertising needs to be personally presided over by the young master?"

Yin Xiamo was silent.

She took a deep breath and suppressed all the thoughts in her mind. Since she had decided to forget, she should forget it completely and not let the past affect the present.

"Is it..." Zhen En said hesitantly, looking at Xia Mo's expression, "... The Master still has feelings for you. Was there any misunderstanding five years ago... You were late for the audition, and the Master..."

"Can we talk about it later?" Yin Xiamo smiled and said softly, "It's almost time for the meeting."

"well."

Zhen En stuck out her tongue and secretly scolded herself for being too gossipy. She knew that topics related to the young master were Xia Mo's taboos, but she still had to bring it up.

But-

Why are topics related to young masters taboo?

She was suddenly confused again.

The meeting room was very quiet.

Ou Chen lowered his head to read the advertisement copy, his slender fingers indifferently turning the pages, the green lace tied around his wrist fluttering gently in the morning sun. Yin Xiamo also looked at the advertisement copy seriously, although she had already read it a few days ago.

The content of the advertisement tells the story of the Little Mermaid. When the Little Mermaid transformed into a human, she used makeup for the first time. Her face was full of happiness. She appeared in the prince's banquet with unparalleled beauty, which made the prince fall in love with her. When the prince was about to get engaged to the princess, the Little Mermaid put on makeup again with tears in her eyes and appeared at the engagement party. The prince was stunned by her beauty. The Little Mermaid took the opportunity to gently kiss the prince's lips, and then her body gradually became transparent and disappeared, turning into the air, and finally becoming the foam of the sea. After shooting, it will be cut into three advertisements with different seconds and relatively independent storylines. It is beautiful and romantic, but not boring for the audience.

The idea is very novel.

The photo should turn out pretty good, Yin Xiamo thought to herself, and unconsciously looked up, but happened to meet Ou Chen's eyes. His eyes were dark and lonely, staring at her, and when she looked up, he turned his eyes away indifferently and looked at the clock on the wall of the conference room.

Ten ten.

Everyone in the conference room had arrived, except for Ling Hao, who played the prince in the commercial. Zhen En had collected some information about Ling Hao in advance. He was a 21-year-old graphic model. He became famous two years ago for starring in a beverage commercial. Later, he entered the film and television industry and took on a TV series adapted from a Japanese manga. The ratings were extremely high, and he quickly became famous and very popular in the entertainment industry. In addition to Luo Xi, the most popular male star at the moment is Ling Hao. However, it is said that Ling Hao is spoiled and has a spoiled personality. It is common for him to be late for announcements.

today…

Is Ling Hao going to be late again?

As Zhen En was thinking, a burst of mobile music suddenly sounded in the conference room, which seemed particularly abrupt in the quiet atmosphere. The manager of the advertising department of Leo Company took out his mobile phone, saw the incoming call number displayed on the phone, was slightly confused, and walked outside the conference room to answer the call.

The advertising manager's surprised voice drifted into the conference room from the corridor intermittently -

"What?!"

"Requesting a change of female lead?!"

"… "

The people in the conference room looked at each other in shock, their eyes all falling on Yin Xiamo. Five minutes later, the advertising manager walked back to the conference room with a unhappy look on his face, stood next to Ou Chen, and whispered a few words. As Ou Chen listened, his eyes showed a chill, and the advertising manager looked at Yin Xiamo uncomfortably. Yin Xiamo froze, and felt her heart sinking.
