Upon seeing Ye Cang, hope was like a ray of light entering Chu Meibo's soul, making her feel as if she had come back to life.
Moreover, I never expected him to come to the Kinmen Theater.
Chu Meibo clenched her fists and took another half step forward. She tilted her head slightly, her voice filled with urgent longing and a barely perceptible tremor: "You've died too, you can understand that feeling, right? I just want to return to this world. I want to leave this place, like you, to be human again..."
She only said a few words, but Shen Huai felt a strange pang in his heart.
Chu Meibo died earlier than Ye Cang. She endured this kind of life, which is unbearable for ordinary people, for many more years. It's no wonder that she saw Ye Cang as a lifeline and clung to him desperately.
Ye Cang shook his head: "I want to help you too, but I don't know how I survived."
The light in Chu Meibo's eyes seemed to suddenly go out. She stood there, her body trembling slightly, as if all her will had vanished. She neither pleaded nor threatened the two of them.
Even after all these years, she hasn't lost what's in her bones. No matter how much she desires it, she won't hurt innocent people.
She simply took a step back, returning from the light to the darkness, and the brilliance seemed to gradually drain away from her, like hope itself.
"Sorry, I disturbed you."
Just as Chu Meibo was about to disappear into the darkness, Shen Huai suddenly called out to her, "Wait."
Chu Meibo looked up at him.
Shen Huai said slowly, "I don't know how to be resurrected, but I think perhaps I can take you away from this place."
Chu Meibo's eyes suddenly lit up.

When Shen Huai and Ye Cang rushed back to the filming location, Xue Chengge was almost in tears.
"Brother Shen, where have you guys been! The director is about to lose his temper..."
Shen Huai quickly went to the director to apologize.
The director was getting a little exasperated. He had just found the female lead, but when he turned around, the male lead was nowhere to be found.
Over there, the actress named Xiaoyu was still excitedly saying, "Director! I really did get lost in a maze. You can ask the makeup artist; it took us ages to find our way out..."
Shen Huai and Ye Cang exchanged a glance, then turned to Chu Meibo, the instigator.
Chu Meibo: "It was just a moment of panic, I'm sorry."
The director repeatedly comforted Xiaoyu and urged the staff on set, "Stop watching the show, everyone get ready."
The scene immediately sprang into action.
Although Xiaoyu was initially a little emotional, she still had the professionalism of an actress and quickly returned to normal in front of the camera.
Although the plot of this advertisement is far-fetched, the director's filming skills are not bad.
In the long corridor, with Western-style wallpaper, stained glass windows, and dim lighting, a woman in a brightly colored cheongsam walks gracefully, like a scene from an old movie from the Republican era.
Ye Cang had never filmed an advertisement before, but Lu Yang had. The director originally thought he would be stuck on Ye Cang for a long time, but there was an unexpected surprise.
The advertising shoot was completed quickly, and by the afternoon, most of the filming was finished.
The director was very excited and wanted to add a few more shots, but suddenly heard a few screams from the side. When everyone turned around, they saw several men and women looking at them excitedly, one of whom was shouting Ye Cang's name.
The director frowned and snapped at the script supervisor, "What's going on! Wasn't the set cleared?"
The script supervisor quickly went over and persuaded the person to leave.
When the script supervisor returned, everyone learned that Ye Cang had been photographed on the plane and the photos were posted online. Someone had also revealed that he was filming an advertisement at the Kinmen Theater, which attracted these fans.
Fortunately, this was just a minor incident, and everyone returned to their work, successfully completing the remaining shots.
After filming wrapped, the director patted Ye Cang on the shoulder with satisfaction: "Little Ye, you're very talented. If there's a suitable opportunity next time, we'll ask you to act in another film!"
Ye Cang's lips twitched slightly as he politely declined the director's offer.
After leaving the theater, Ye Cang and Shen Huai stood at the entrance, waiting for Xue Chengge to drive over.
Chu Meibo stood at the theater entrance, her face showing a mixture of curiosity and joy. Although she was a little disappointed that she couldn't be resurrected, she was also very happy to be able to leave the place that had always bound her.
Her gaze swept over the skyscrapers and the endless stream of cars in front of her, and she felt a little dazed. So this is what the new era looks like?
Shen Huai introduced the items to her, and Chu Meibo blinked, then suddenly asked, "Are those people over there watching you? Are they fans?"
Shen Huai and Ye Cang turned around and saw the fans who had disturbed the filming earlier running out excitedly.
"Ye Cang, are you filming a commercial?!"
"We are your fans, and we never expected to run into you here. What a coincidence!"
"We love you so much! Can you give us your autograph?"
"I want a photo with them!"
Before Ye Cang could react, he was instantly surrounded. Not only that, one of them was even recording a video on his phone.
Shen Huai frowned and separated them: "Sorry, this is private time..."
The group persisted, surrounding them and preventing them from leaving, even attempting to tear at Shen Huai's clothes.
Ye Cang frowned slightly, stepped forward, and subtly blocked Shen Huai behind him: "Autographs and photos, right? Are you going to leave after you're done?"
When the group saw that he had agreed, they became excited and didn't care what he said next.
