Reborn back to the age of nineteen, Su Ling vowed that she would never make the same mistakes in this life. She would protect her family and enter the entertainment industry. The most important thing is not to catch Qin Xiao's eye and become his lover. ... Qin Xiao has a secret; he has a bit of a special fetish in that he likes pure and delicate beauties. That was until Su Ling appeared. The little beauty met his taste from head to toe. It was a pity that she loathed him to the bone. ... Under the flickering lights, Qing Xiao licked the wound at the corner of his lip and looked down at Su Ling, who was trying not to cry. Qin Xiao: ......Fuck! I'll give my heart to you. You look so beautiful when crying!
"Lingling, wake up; it's your turn to go on."
In the dim light backstage, she opened her eyes with a gasp and saw a youthful girl with heavy makeup in front of her. The girl wiped the sweat from her forehead: "Are you tired? Why did you fall asleep backstage?"
Su Ling's heart was beating wildly. She touched the back of her head but there was no gaping hole or scarlet blood.
A soft female voice sang from the side of the stage: "If we have a second chance, you and I will see each other under the snow moon once again, even if it's just a fleeting moment. Goodbye is just a passerby....."
If we have a second chance, a second chance ......
Su Ling suddenly raised her head and looked at the familiar and unfamiliar girl in front of him: "Yun Bu?"
Su Ling's voice trembled, and she reached out to touch Yun Bu's face. The skin was warm, so Yun Bu was alive! But Yun Bu died during a movie shoot three years ago. In the prime of her youth, the lively girl died.
But why was she seeing Yun Bu at this moment?
Yun Bu was stunned: "What? You look so pale. Are you not feeling well? It's about to be our performance, and you are one of the main actors. The instructor will scold you if something goes wrong."
Su Ling stood up and took a look around; the dark red setting, the youthful cloud of clothes. She had an extremely absurd feeling, and she picked up the small mirror on the table. In the mirror, a pure and youthful face was reflected.
Su Ling shivered and turned on her phone. She suddenly burst into tears the moment the screen lit up.
April 30th, 2013.
She had gone back to five years ago.
She was 19 years old and was still in her second year of college.
Su Ling covered her lips and choked back a sob. Was this a dream? She pinched herself hard; the pain was real and intense. It wasn't a dream! After being pushed down the stairs by Zheng Xiaoya, the unbearable pain passed and she opened her eyes to find herself back in the second year of college.
Yun Bu, who was watching from the side, was stunned, and she hurriedly wiped her tears: "Hey, what's going on here? Lingling, Are you not feeling well?"
Su Ling's fingers were cold, just like the temperature of her body as it slowly cooled down before she died. She touched her legs. The long and slender legs were well-proportioned and beautiful. Su Ling could not help but stand up and take a few steps. There wasn't the slightest stagnation, and her heart suddenly warmed up.
Nothing had happened yet. She didn't know Qin Xiao. She had not yet gone into his bed. She had not yet become his secret lover. She had not yet had the entanglement of those years.
Her leg was not Injured either, so it wasn't too late.
She could start all over again and live with dignity.
"Lingling, you're being weird." Yun Bu was a little scared. Su Ling had tear marks on her face, but the light in her eyes was frighteningly bright.
Yun Bu held up three fingers and reminded her, "There are three programs before our turn to go on stage. The instructor is very concerned about this performance. I heard that it is to please some big shot, so we don't have to worry about the future. Better get out of your trance or the instructor will kill you."
Big shot?
Su Ling was stunned, and her face instantly turned pale.
She remembered that it was on April 30th when she met Qin Xiao. She was the second female lead in a stage play and was playing against the lead actress in a death scene.
Qin Xiao had a cigarette in his mouth, his legs were stretched out and he stared at her with unblinking eyes. That was the beginning of the nightmare.
In other words, there were three more programs to go before everything repeated itself.
Her fear of Qin Xiao was deeply rooted in her bones, and Su Ling was so anxious that she broke out in a cold sweat: "Yun Bu, did you bring any makeup?"
"No." Yun Bu said. She thought Su Ling was worried about her makeup after having cried a lot, so she quickly pulled her toward the dressing room. "Don't worry, the makeup artist is still there."
Su Ling took a deep breath and inexplicably calmed down as she felt the heat of Yun Bu's palm.
The dressing room was surprisingly lively. A dozen girls were chattering and talking around a girl, and when they saw Su Ling and Yun Bu come in, they went strangely quiet all of a sudden.
The girl they were surrounding was called Tang Weiwei. She raised an eyebrow and looked at Su Ling. "Ah, it's Miss Su, the department flower."
This comment provoked sneers from the girls.
Su Ling's family was poor, her health was also poor, and she had been sickly since childhood, so she gave off a sick beauty vibe. Su Ling was delicate and timid and had a good relationship with boys, so she was privately known as the department flower.
This made Tang Weiwei dissatisfied. They were from the same university major, and her face value was not bad, but she was sidelined.
Yun Bu listened to their wanton laughter, and her face went red with anger: "*You can't eat grapes and say that they are sour."
[*Someone using an excuse to balance their mood when they can't achieve their goal. ]
Seeing that a fight was about to break out, Su Ling pulled her back. She didn't feel as inferior or timid as in her previous life, but the most important thing at the moment was to avoid Qin Xiao. "I came to touch up my make-up. Is it convenient for Sister Liu?"
Before Sister Liu, the make-up artist, could speak, Tang Weiwei flicked her nails and said: "Sister Liu has something to do."
Sister Liu swallowed back the words "it's okay" that she wanted to say.
Tang Weiwei lifted her chin and looked at Su Ling: "I'm free. I'll help you with your make-up."
