Chapter 1124: A Subtle Pain in Su Zui’s Chest
She didn’t even want him in her dreams.
"If it were Song Mu, would you be especially happy?"
"I don’t know..."
She had never thought about it.
Breakfast was ready.
They ate in silence.
Su Zui felt a slight pain in her chest, she was happy when she just woke up, but now, there’s no joy left.
Last night he said he’d help her weigh herself, and he imagined he could continue to hold her.
After breakfast, Su Zui left.
Liangliang tidied the room a bit, throwing all the sheets and covers into the washing machine.
She listened to the washing machine’s rumble, standing beside it, recalling what Su Zui had just said.
If it were Song Mu, would she be happy?
If it never happened, you really can’t imagine it.
She stood dazed until the washing machine stopped spinning.
Only then did she come back to her senses and began to hang up the clothes.
——
Liangliang went to the film set the next day.
Today, they were shooting indoors.
Liangliang did Song Mu’s makeup, then helped a few others with theirs, tidying up her things on the side.
"You didn’t come to the set yesterday, the director got mad, but Song Mu spoke up for you."
She suddenly turned her head and saw Shen Lan.
"I was wondering, if the woman he loved won’t come back, would he ever like another woman again."
Listening to her, Liangliang said, "Was it you who caused me trouble on the set before?"
"What? What happened to you?" Shen Lan feigned ignorance, "Liangliang, you and I both know one thing, Song Mu only has one woman in his heart. Even if he has something for you, it’s just loneliness, just playing around."
"It seems only you would treat me this way. Your rival isn’t me, it’s that woman who’s been missing for a long time. Seeking revenge on me and tormenting me is useless! Let bygones be bygones, I don’t want the same thing to happen again!"
"You are very confident, aren’t you..." Shen Lan blocked her way, "But, you’re just a substitute too."
"You are so insecure!" Liangliang mimicked her tone, "Song Mu hasn’t said anything, and you run off to trouble me. If he really liked me, you’ve done wrong, he surely wouldn’t let you off! Conversely, if he doesn’t like me, whatever you do to me is futile, I pose no threat to you, Miss Shen Lan, I need to go touch up makeup now."
Liangliang walked past her, her heart pounding.
To not have done anything yet and already attract a rival, that’s really pitiful.
If Song Mu liked her, she would accept a rival.
But alas...
She and Shen Lan both only have unrequited loves!
She walked to the filming area, Song Mu’s expression seemed a bit off today.
Even though it was a simple scene, he had several retakes.
"Sorry, let’s do it again," Song Mu apologized.
"Take a ten-minute break and try again, Song Mu, pull yourself together!" the director said to him.
Song Mu returned to his chair, sitting down, his head slightly bowed.
He was cold, aloof, the profile of his handsome brows now clearly radiated a faint chilly sadness.
He wasn’t happy.
Really unhappy.
Liangliang slowly walked over, "What’s wrong?"
Song Mu suddenly stood up, "Let’s go for a walk."
"Alright!"
Shen Lan saw Song Mu and Liangliang go out together, she quietly followed behind.
The air outside was fresh, and there weren’t so many spectators. Song Mu’s tense demeanor relaxed a bit.
"Today is her birthday."
Liangliang had already guessed, it was related to Tao Juran.
"Wish her a happy birthday and hope she returns to you soon!" Liangliang said with a smile.
