Chapter 26 part 3

She dreamt of crossing over into the body of thirteen-year-old Yun Feiwu. At that time, she was on the set of the drama “Dark,” and all the staff treated her very well. The director would chat with her gently, and other crew members would encourage her, and offer her snacks and candies when she felt down.

Assistant Huang treated her like a younger sister, taking care of her every need.

All she had to do was practice the lines and actions of the lead role over and over again. She enjoyed acting and loved the atmosphere of the set. Even the narrow, dark room she had to return to every night started to look beautiful to her.

Wait a minute, if she had crossed over into Yun Feiwu’s body, shouldn’t she be returning to Yun Feiwu’s home? What’s going on?

Confused, Xia Shutong rubbed her eyes, opened them, and realized it was already morning. Light seeped through the gaps in the curtains, tracing a white arc on the floor.

It seems like she had a very strange dream last night.

I dreamt that I turned into Yun Feiwu and was acting and living on the set of the drama “Dark”.

Why did I dream such a strange thing? Xia Shutong pondered in a daze and concluded that it must be because she had too much contact with Yun Feiwu yesterday, and she used to enjoy performing when she was a child. That’s why she had these dreams.

Indeed, Yun Feiwu quickly sat up from the bed and embraced Xia Shutong from behind, pulling her back onto the bed.

Despite being injured, Yun Feiwu still had strength and effortlessly pulled Xia Shutong into her embrace. Her warm and soft lips unintentionally brushed against Xia Shutong’s earlobe.

“Xiao Xia,” Yun Feiwu spoke softly, dragging out each syllable, “I previously mentioned that I like you and I’ve been pursuing you. However, if my pursuit makes you uncomfortable, I will choose to let go.”

Being held in Yun Feiwu’s arms, Xia Shutong’s earlobes felt incredibly sensitive, causing her to remain still and barely respond, “Mm-hmm.”

“But now, I regret it. I don’t want to leave you at all. What should I do?” Finally releasing her earlobe, Yun Feiwu placed her chin on Xia Shutong’s shoulder. “Xiao Xia, can you give me a chance to pursue you?”

Yun Feiwu closed her eyes.

Previously, she was afraid that being too proactive would scare Xia Shutong away, shatter her fragile shell, and make her unwilling to see her again.

However, in the days that followed, Yun Feiwu gradually discovered that Xia Shutong was indeed afraid of her and tried to avoid her, but couldn’t stay away from her either.

Even if she lost her memory, Xia Ruan was still Xia Ruan. Yun Feiwu had long been a fragment deep within her soul, an indelible mark carved into her very marrow. How could it be easily erased?

“No, no, no… Yun Feiwu…” Xia Shutong trembled as expected, her body weakly hiding under the bed. “Yun Feiwu, I think we have some misunderstanding… um, I have to go now, I’ll come back this afternoon to talk to you about this matter. Anyway, please don’t overthink, I… I…”

Holding her clothes, Xia Shutong quickly rushed into the bathroom.

However, Yun Feiwu didn’t feel downcast. Instead, she looked in the direction of the bathroom and gently smiled, shaking her head.

When Xia Shutong changed her clothes and came out of the bathroom, Yun Feiwu fell asleep again.

After all, she was injured and most likely needed rest. Xia Shutong stood at a distance and watched for a while, then approached stealthily, crouched down, and reached out to gently rub her hair.

At that moment, Yun Feiwu opened her eyes and smiled softly, “Xiao Xia, what do you want to do?”

“I-I-I never meant to touch your head! I came over to get something!” Xia Shutong reflexively jumped back, picked up her phone from the bed, and hurriedly ran off.

Only after closing the door did Xia Shutong lean on it, taking deep breaths a few times. Her heart rate gradually returned to normal, and her expression immediately changed from panic, even a bit embarrassed and blushing, back to the usual Xia Shutong.

Her unknown relationship with Yun Feiwu was really troublesome.

Previously, Xia Shutong thought that before she had amnesia, she seduced Yun Feiwu, made her like her, and pursued her, while she used her affection without any burden.

But now it seemed that it wasn’t like that. Her past self clearly had feelings for Yun Feiwu. Her instinctive concern and caring for her multiple times were evidence of that.

Perhaps their relationship in the past was different from what she imagined, but now she couldn’t remember anything.

Even if her past self had feelings for Yun Feiwu, it was all in the past. And Yun Feiwu liked Xia Shutong from before, not the current one who knows nothing.

If she were to hastily accept Yun Feiwu’s affection, she would be an irredeemable scoundrel.

So Xia Shutong decided to have a good chat with Yun Feiwu tonight, to let her see who she really is now, and to prevent her from continuing to have feelings for her.

…

Xia Shutong spent the whole morning talking to each staff member present, except for Bian Xin.

As she had speculated, none of these people had any motive to harm Yun Feiwu. In fact, several members of the props team mentioned that Bian Xin had asked her assistant to bring them drinks while they were eating.

This explains why, if the wire was indeed cut by Bian Xin, it would make sense.

Although it was almost November, these past few days the sun was shining brightly in the city, and the staff generally ate boxed lunches in the stall near the set. Although not far away, there was a wall separating them, so they couldn’t see what was happening on the set.

During their breaks, the actors either ate in their private cars or at restaurants in the film and television city. It was rare to find someone staying in the set during lunchtime.

Bian Xin instructed her assistant to deliver drinks to the prop team, with the intention of distracting her assistant and delaying the prop team’s mealtime, giving herself an opportunity to take action.

As for the motivation… It’s evident that Bian Xin doesn’t like Yun Feiwu, and Xia Shutong can see it too. Bian Xin is someone who greatly admires vanity. She enjoys being surrounded by a crowd, praised, and admired by others. However, on the set of “Chasing the Light,” she is constantly overshadowed by Yun Feiwu. So, her dislike for Yun Feiwu has fueled even more resentment. Taking advantage of Xia Shutong’s absence, she dares to act against Yun Feiwu.

Thinking about this, Xia Shutong narrowed her eyes and lightly pressed her thumb on the first joint of her index finger.

“Crack.”

Her knuckles made a crisp sound.

Just as Director Dai Su passed by, he happened to witness this scene. Even he, who is usually absent-minded, couldn’t help but shiver and said, “President Xia, are you looking for me to inquire about what happened on the set a couple of days ago?”

“Mm.” Xia Shutong looked at the timid Director Dai Su and felt rare satisfaction in her heart. She scooted forward and smiled, saying, “Director Dai, there’s no need to be so nervous. You are the director, responsible for filming, and it’s not your duty to constantly monitor the actions of the crew. I just want to ask if Bian Xin has done anything unreasonable these past few days?”

Director Dai Su puzzledly touched his nose and after a moment, said in confusion, “Are you suspecting Bian Xin did something? But… I thought she got along well with Xiao Yun, didn’t she?”

A frozen smile appeared for a second at the corner of Xia Shutong’s mouth.

May I ask, from where did you see that they have a good relationship? Bian Xin is blatantly opposing Yun Feiwu. Can’t you see it?

Forget it, she shouldn’t have had any expectations in Director Dai Su.
