Chapter 75 Facing her fear (1/2)
Crossing her fingers, Yang Mi prayed for Li Xiaolu to have enough strength to enact this scene and overcome her fears.
As soon as the director yelled action, Li Xiaolu immediately turned herself into Zhi Xing, the name of the psycho sister's character.
As it was a mall scene, she strolled around looking for various dresses. Then picking a dress she went inside she changing room, the prop prepared for the scene.
Director Ye motioned his assistant and a small fire was started on the set. All the background artists played their part of panicking, screaming and shouting while running towards the exit.
Inside the changing room, Li Xiaolu shivered hearing the screaming and shouting. She knew it was an act but she couldn't help it. Just thinking about that she has to face this fear of hers; fire... she would tremble all over.
Every time she sees the fire, even a small one she remembers her past life. To her it feels like she has transmigrated into that same situation; standing in the middle of the fire burning to death.
This is the trauma that she is suffering since that day she woke up. And now it was time to face it. She clenched her fist in determination; she can do it.
She is no longer that weak girl of the past who died in that fire, she is like a phoenix who is born again from her ashes determined to destroy her enemies!
She can do it and nothing is going to happen to her. This is a set and not her past life! Chanting this mantra again and again in her head, Li Xiaolu motivated and strengthed herself. Taking a deep breath she opened the door, it's time to face her fear.
Outside, seeing that Li Xiaolu has still not come out, Director Ye was puzzled. Why is Li Xiaolu not coming out? Everyone including Li Roulan and Chen Yufan who were there watching Li Xiaolu's performance was thinking about this question.
Knowing that Li Xiaolu is afraid of fire, Yang Mi was extremely worried about her. Even though Li Xiaolu had told her not to talk with Director Ye about this scene and just go with the flow; Yang Mi couldn't help but worry.
Nothing mattered to her other than her artist's health and condition. Over all of that, Li Xiaolu was special to her so how can she just sit around?
Walking towards the director, Yang Mi was just about to ask him to stop the scene, when the door suddenly opened and Li Xiaolu walked out.
Becoming her character Zhi Xing, she changed her confused expression to panic. Looking around for a exit she screamed for help. The scene infront of her suddenly changed into that dark cold place.
Everything turned into that dark aloof place from her past life. She could no longer see the cameras, the set or anyone. All she could see was the same room, where she had once died.
”Help..... Save me..... Help ” Li Xiaolu screamed on top of her lungs. No, this can't be happening. She can't die....
”Somebody help me..... Help.... Help me.... I can't die.... Help me.... No... Ah!!! ” Li Xiaolu screamed with all her might. Her eyes were starting to get teary and she frantically looked around. Where did everybody go? Why am I back in the sane room again? Am I going to die again?
