The Most Romantic Place

As things were going too smoothly, Ying Zenan returned to Hucheng that day.

As for Ying Jing, she stayed in the Imperial Capital with Wei Yi.

They discussed going out for a stroll that evening.

As the taxi drove past the Dynasty Entertainment building, Ying Jing leaned against the window and looked at the building.

The two of them got out of the car nearby. Wei Yi went to the shop next door to buy milk tea while Ying Jing waited for her under the tree.

She heard the click of a camera shutter and frowned in the direction of the sound. A young man immediately jogged over with the camera in his hand.

"Sorry, you looked so good just now. I couldn't help but take a photo. If you don't like it, I can delete it immediately." Abu felt a little unlucky. Not only had he taken a photo of Ying Zenan and got taught a lesson by his master during the day, but he had also been discovered by the person he took a photo of at night.

Ying Jing looked at herself in the photo. So that was how she looked at Dynasty Entertainment in the eyes of others.

"Thank you. I love this picture. Can you pass me a copy?"

"Of course. Can I keep this picture then? I'm Abu from the Fresh. Don't read too much into it. I'm a proper paparazzo. I've … taken photos of so many celebrity entertainers, and you're the first one who's just standing there like you've finished a movie."

"Really? Thank you."

"You're not an artist, are you? I've never seen you in the industry."

Ying Jing shook her head.

"I'm not."

"You're so good-looking. No entertainment company scouted you? That was impossible! With looks like yours, you would definitely become popular in the entertainment industry. If you had some acting skills, you would become famous sooner or later."

Ying Jing thought about it. There were quite a few incidences.

She had been hit on at school and outside.

In her previous life, she had also stepped into the entertainment industry early. It had taken her ten years to reach the peak, and then… she had died and returned.

Now it seemed she'd been playing with the leftovers.

"Why don't we add each other as friends? I can send you a photo. If you enter the industry in the future, you can contact me. I'll protect you in the Imperial Capital." The paparazzo who had yet to graduate boasted shamelessly. If it were anyone else, they wouldn't take his words to heart.

But the circumstances were different. When the other party said the word 'Abu', she knew who he was.

The young man in front of her would become famous in the near future. As his reputation expanded, he would continuously take photos of top celebrities' love affairs and incidents. In a short period of time, he would quickly stabilize his status and become the number one paparazzo in China that no artist wanted to provoke.

Ying Jing had suffered from this person in her previous life and had been photographed by him a few times.

However, they were all trivial matters. Other than the times when she was going against the male and female leads, she was a good, law-abiding citizen.

In her previous life, after Lu Zishu rose to power, Abu entered the other party's company and became an existence that protected the female lead in the entertainment industry.

With these powers around, how could the news about the female lead leak out?

That's right, Lu Zishu's true love was a certain actress in the entertainment industry. In the end, she was even praised by Lu Zishu.

What satisfied Ying Jing was that although her life had been ruined by these two, she had always been better than the female lead in her career.

In this life, the plot had changed. She met Abu in advance.

With the opportunity to do it all over again, she still hadn't figured out if she should continue to step into the path. Where the moon can be touched, one could become the light that illuminated others.

When Wei Yi returned with two large cups of cold milk tea, Abu had already left.

Ying Jing took the milk tea from his friend and sucked in the pearls.

"Where are we going next?"

Three minutes later, the two ladies, who had yet to discuss where they were going, were trapped in a dessert shop by the roadside.

A sudden storm swept through the entire Imperial Capital.

The sky, which had been invaded by dark clouds, gradually disappeared. When the wind and rain cleared, the fresh air was welcome.

The shopkeeper gave them a pad and pen before he left.

"You can mark what you want to write on it. You can take it with you or leave it. We'll keep it safe. You're welcome to come and get it anytime."

Ying Jing looked at the pen and paper on the table and did not know what to do.

Wei Yi rather liked it.

"Isn't this just like those days when you were a kid and had to write Post-its and stick them on the wall when you went to the milk tea shop next door after school? You would then read other people's dreams on a wall full of Post-its."

How nostalgic!

Ying Jing was moved by her words.

She picked up her pen and wrote a lot on the paper.

Weiyi wanted to peek at what she had written.

"What! That's so romantic. She even started a poem."

It didn't seem interesting. That was because she hadn't seen it clearly yet.

Wei Yi went to the shopkeeper to place her Post-it note.

Ying Jing raised the paper filled with words, the paper that had yet to dry in front of the glass. The falling rain clung to the window and refused to flow.

–

The sudden downpour trapped me here.

Trapped in a world very close to you.

All I had to do was raise my eyes and look.

You could be in one of the building's windows looking out at this rain, too.

I've missed you so much.

Remembering the encounter with you.

It was the warmth after the rain.

I'm so sorry you didn't have time to show up.

You would have seen it otherwise.

I was thinking of you.

You must have felt the wind from this direction.

And stepped over this stone path.

I'm right opposite.

And I'm incredibly glad you didn't show up.

Or I'll be in worse shape than this storm.

… .

Ying Jing took the poem with her.

In a colorful city, walking on a bustling avenue.

Her friend could tell she was in a good mood.

"What makes you so happy?"

"I've thought about it." Ying Jing walked beside Wei Yi. Occasionally a beam of light shone on them. "Just now I made a very important decision. So important that it might change my entire life because of it. If you're going to ask me if I'll regret it, I'll answer you with absolute certainty that I have no regrets."

The old road had been so lonely. How could she bear to let him continue on alone now?

She was going to stand where the stars were most romantic.

And become his only moon.

Her friend seemed to understand.

"Although I don't know what nonsense you're talking about, good sisters should be pampered without limits. No matter what decision you make, I will support you without reservation."

The bright young girls toasted with their milk tea on the street and smiled at each other.

Then, the two of them went to eat skewers. When they returned to the hotel, it was almost ten o'clock.

Ying Jing turned on her phone which was on silent mode and realized that there were several more messages.

There was also… Wen Fucheng.

She directly scrolled past Ying Zenan and opened the chat with Wen Fucheng.

[Wen Fucheng: There's a specialty roasted duck restaurant in the capital. Do you want to try it together?]

Of course, she wanted!

Ying Jing could not wait to make the call and tell him the purpose of her visit. There was silence on the other end of the line. Her heart skipped a beat. Could it be that he had changed his mind?

Wen Fucheng didn't go back on his word, but…

"I sent you the message five hours ago."

Ying Jing looked at the time and instantly felt wronged.

"I see! What a pity."

Her disappointed tone made her sound like a kitten that had been wronged.

"It was a pity, so I bought it straight back."

Ying Jing was stunned…

She heard him speak again before the line went dead.

"Upstairs. I'm on the thirty-third floor. Wait … I'd better go down and get you!"
