Kapitel 16

Everyone couldn't help but laugh. "The director is just joking with you! Everyone knows that the plays written by the director are the most marketable."

“But that’s not the reality,” I muttered to myself.

Zhang Zhengqiu heard what I said and asked me curiously, "What is the real situation?"

I looked at him with a touch of sadness. Did he not remember anything at all? More than a thousand years have passed. I don't know how many times he has reincarnated, so why is his soul completely unable to remember anything from the past?

I whispered, "Do you know what the mortal world is? The clouds are the reflection of the mortal world in the sky. One day when you understand the floating clouds, you will understand the mortal world."

Zhang Zhengqiu was taken aback. "What did you say?"

I gave a wry smile. "It's nothing."

His face was full of confusion. Why should I bother?

The Dragon Girl's ending was that she lived happily ever after with Liu Yi, but I never had the chance to play the Dragon Girl until that day.

On the third day of my role as the Dragon Girl, during a break in filming, I heard the crisp sound of high heels clicking on the floor from outside the door. Without even looking, I knew it was Ruan Zhiyun.

She pushed open the door and walked into the photography studio, beaming as if nothing had happened, greeting people along the way. As she passed me, she gave me a deliberate glance, nodded haughtily, and then walked towards Zhang Zhengqiu.

I watched from afar, unable to hear what they were saying, but I saw that Zhang Zhengqiu's expression was very calm, while Ruan Zhiyun spoke with a smile at first, but then slowly revealed an indignant expression. Zhang Zhengqiu, however, remained unmoved and kept shaking his head.

Ruan Zhiyun suddenly pointed at me and asked him in a shrill voice, "What exactly is your relationship with this brat?"

The voice was very sharp; even I, standing to the side, heard it. Everyone turned to look at me. I sighed inwardly, "Why did it have to be like this?"

Turning around and walking out of the studio, I sat on the steps in the corner, lost in thought. I might be getting old. The years spent in Helu Tomb have worn away all my sharpness. If I were seventy years old, I wouldn't be able to leave so peacefully.

I am now over a thousand years old, and compared to me, the oldest person in the world is just an infant.

The sound of high heels stopped behind me. I didn't turn around; I knew what she wanted to say. She coughed, as if she couldn't speak without turning around.

I pointed to the steps beside me: "Please sit down!"

She glanced hesitantly at her cheongsam, then sat down. We sat side by side on the steps, looking more like friends than enemies.

Reply [32]: “What conditions do you want?” she asked as soon as she opened her mouth.

I shook my head: "I don't want any conditions."

She snapped, "You think you can become famous?"

I laughed and said, "Can't I?" Although I haven't been in this world for long, I have learned a lot of things in a short time. People say that as long as Zhang Zhengqiu wants to promote someone, there is no one he can't make famous.

She gritted her teeth. "So what if I become famous? He can still dump me whenever he wants. Look at me."

I looked at her; she was beautiful, with big eyes, long eyelashes, and lips painted a bright red. "So what?"

"Whatever conditions you want, just tell me and I'll agree to them."

I thought about it seriously, and realized, "I really don't want any conditions."

She suddenly became angry: "So you're saying you're not going to quit?"

I sighed: "Are you trying to make me not play the Dragon Girl?"

She nodded. "Of course."

"I can choose not to act."

She was taken aback. "You're not going to act? What would it take for you to stop acting?"

I smiled slightly: "I've already said twice that I don't want any conditions."

Ruan Zhiyun was stunned. She looked at me in disbelief: "You're willing to withdraw without any conditions?"

I nodded.

"Why?"

Because, because that wasn't me, that wasn't the real Dragon Girl.

But I didn't say it out loud. I said, "I think I'm more suited to be a cleaner."

Ruan Zhiyun smiled and affectionately grabbed my hand: "You're so beautiful, how could you be content to be a cleaner? If you give it to me this time, I'll definitely ask Zhengqiu to let you play the lead role next time. You can play whatever you want, I won't compete with you."

I smiled and said, "I don't want to act, it's true, I'd rather be a cleaner."

She looked at me curiously: "You're so strange. How can someone choose to be a cleaner rather than an actress?"

I remained silent. Worldly affairs are like fleeting clouds to me; I understand now.

She grabbed my arm and said, "Then hurry up and go talk to him!" She was so anxious.

I let her pull me into the studio. She went up to Zhang Zhengqiu triumphantly and said, "Zhengqiu, you can't do anything about it now. Xuechen herself doesn't want to play the Dragon Girl anymore."

Zhang Zhengqiu looked at me in surprise. I nodded. "I won't play the Dragon Girl. Let Sister Ruan play it instead!"

"Why?"

I lowered my head: "I can't act well."

I turned and left, surrounded by whispers. Let them guess; they won't figure out the truth.
