Shi Yi cried until past one in the morning before closing her swollen eyes in exhaustion. Even after she fell asleep, she was grabbing Yuan Shu’s clothes tightly.

Yuan Shu was afraid of waking her up again, so she slept beside Shi Yi at night. That way, Shi Yi would be able to see someone beside her when she woke up.

When the two of them woke up, it was almost noon. Li Yue had prepared the food and was waiting for them to eat breakfast. Shi Xiao had already went to the company to settle some matters.

In the afternoon, Yuan Shu received a call from Director Wang Shen, who said that it was time to enter the production team and he arranged a scene for Yuan Shu at night.

However, Shi Lu and Zhang Zhang hadn’t rehearsed for the past two days, so Yuan Shu had to go ahead of them.

Yuan Shu was still a little worried about Shi Yi, so she wanted to discuss things with the director and postpone the time to join the production team, but she didn’t expect Shi Yi to be sensible enough to urge Yuan Shu to do her own things.

“Sister-in-law, you don’t have to worry about me. I’ve already given myself three days off. No matter what, I should go to the company to take a look today. If I have something to do, my imagination won’t run wild, so go busy yourself.”

Yuan Shu nodded sadly. Yuan Shu was very glad that Shi Yi was so rational and learned to control her emotions.

After Yuan Shu packed her things, she rushed to the set. Zhang Chao was now Shi Lu and Yuan Shu’s manager, so he rushed to the set as well.

Yuan Shu put on her makeup, hair, and changed her clothes first. Then, the director came over to talk about the scene. When she was done packing and ready to start filming, it was already sunset.

Today’s scene was between the female lead, Tang Yi, and the literary scholar, Chen Zhou.

The reason was that the emperor had issued an imperial decree for Tang Yi to marry the top scholar of the martial arts course. However, Tang Yi and Chen Zhou already had feelings for each other at this moment. Chen Zhou was indignant and strongly opposed it. He was even angry that Tang Yi didn’t resist the imperial decree, so the two of them quarreled at the racecourse.

The venue of this scene was a desolate grassland. April had just arrived, and the grass had just sprouted, so most of it was still a withered yellow grassland.

As the sun slowly set, the sky turned into a gentle orange-yellow hue. Even the grass was dyed orange-yellow by the setting sun, looking bleak and melancholic.

As Yuan Shu and Mu Zhou stood on the orange-yellow barren grass, their shadows were elongated by the setting sun, and there were two prop horses grazing in the distance.

Once again, Yuan Shu felt that this scene was abnormally familiar, just like the feeling she had when she first tried it out. This wasn’t just a plot of a fictional story, but a story that had actually happened.

Chen Zhou, who was played by Mu Zhou, said, “So you accepted the imperial edict?”

As Yuan Shu stared at him in a daze, he seemed to overlap with a figure in her mind. After overlapping, they dispersed. He seemed familiar yet unfamiliar at the same time.

Mu Zhou looked very hurt. It was a kind of grief from wanting to hold on to her but failing. He also stubbornly hoped that he could persuade her to stay one last time.

Yuan Shu recalled the conversation in her mind once again. “1 said that I would marry the top martial arts top scorer.”

Yuan Shu still remembered that the year she got married, the emperor insisted on setting up a martial arts examination. In order to support the emperor, Yuan Shu said that she would marry someone from her high school.

She vaguely remembered that she seemed to have an agreement with someone, but that person broke it.

After hearing Yuan Shu’s words, Mu Zhou was stunned. What she said wasn’t the lines in the script.

He was so surprised that he even forgot the grief and indignation he should reveal according to the plot.

When their gazes met, that familiar feeling resurfaced. It was as if they had known each other for many years, but she couldn’t remember him no matter what.

Mu Zhou suppressed his joy and heaved a long sigh of relief. Then, he returned to his previous state and continued according to his lines. “What’s the difference between a literary scholar and a martial arts scholar? They’re both high schoolers! You want to marry the best in the world.. 1 took the imperial examination to become the best in the world so that one day, 1 can become someone who has a place in the court!”
