Chapter 301 - Special Guest. (1/2)

After the dinner, everyone prepared for the bonfire while Xie Ming and Xu Lan were exempted from the work.

Xie Ming has rewarded them with an amazing dinner while Xu Lan has arranged all of this and has arranged a special guest to give them some tips on how to act in period films. They did not let them work to show their gratitude to them.

Of course, Xu Lan was happy about it and let them work. She was tired anyway.

Everyone worked diligently and wanted to leave great impressions in front of that, 'special guest' who is still a mystery.

Xie Ming wanted to help Song Xiner and Han Ling in cooking some late-night snacks and fruit custard but they didn't let her do anything. They asked her to rest and they could do at least this much.

Helplessly she sat on the cushion near the bonfire. She looked at the fire which was burning under this dark sky. Though it was summer, however, the temperature in this area tends to decrease at night and becomes slightly cold at night.

She was wearing a dress and was feeling cold but with the help of the burning fire, she felt better from its heat.

She stared at the burning wood and went into her thoughts. When she looked at the wood which was burning to give warmth to everyone in this chilly weather.

She doesn't know, but for some reason that maybe she is more fit to be Xie Ming rather than Zhao Ming. That palace life never suited her.

She was not from an extravagant family and had her same mindset but she was called lowly and cheap for her cautious behavior towards money. Maybe it was her fault to not say anything but she does not believe that it was entirely her fault.

Every person has his opinions and personality. No one can blame someone for trusting people easily. It is those people's fault for breaking their trust.

But in the end, people only blame the victim for not being cautious and careful. They all tend to forget that they are the victims. It's not like they had wanted something to happen like that to happen.

No one should feel guilty about trusting anyone. It's not their fault when someone breaks their trust and backstabs them. It's okay to get broken and cry sometimes. It's okay to feel that your life has crumbled and there is nothing to do anymore.

But it's not okay to not stand up again after crying for a while. Because crying is okay, but not moving on is not. You need to flush those dark memories through tears so that you won't be bothered by them again.

You should wipe all the bad things that happened with all the tears. Sometimes, those tears prove to be the new beginning of the new life.

' Not everyone in this world is vicious and cruel. The world is full of different kinds of people. You will also meet kind and nice people who will bring you out of the darkness. You just need to find that person with your eyes and heart open.' she sighed as she felt emotional and deep in thought while looking at the fire.

…..

Jian Yan and Wu Sheng lit the fire already and were now arranging the music system that girls have demanded.

Jian Yan, who was checking the music system, saw Xie Ming sitting near the fire. She was looking in deep thought with her eyes fixated on the fire.

His heart ached to see her sitting beside the fire alone like this. She was looking as beautiful as a fairy in that white dress and the yellow light emanating from the fire was making her glow in this dark night.

She was glowing like moonlight under the dark sky. She looked near but was far away. He can only see her from afar but cannot touch it.

He felt helpless seeing her like this.

Wu Sheng who has asked Jian Yan to check if it is working fine saw that he didn't play anything, he looked at him and saw him looking at Xie Ming in a daze.

He felt that something was not right about him. His gaze was gentle and warm when he looked at Xie Ming but he was cold to everyone. He felt that Jian Yan was treating Xie Ming very differently.

” Jian Yan. I asked you to play something.” Wu Sheng shook his head and reminded him to play something.

He decided to not dwell on it much. And pretend like he sees nothing.

…

After the preparations were done, everyone sat around the bonfire on the cushions while Song Xiner served fruit custard to everyone.
