Bai Yang had already gotten his driving license at the age of 19, he often drove Bai Jianjun's car so his driving skill was definitely more than okay. Trucks, however, were a whole other matter. But assuming that it was quite similar to cars and given how the road was so wide and clear that even dogs could drive, there wasn't much of a problem for him.
As for the legal problem of his driver's license not including trucks, he did not bother.
After driving the truck to a secluded location, he began the crucial phase of his operation!
It should be night time on the other side as well, the wood is in the village but they placed the at the corner that is easily overlooked, so there shouldn't be any problem if I sneak over.
He did not even consider to reactions of the villagers on the second day after they noticed that the wood was gone….
After taking "everything" into consideration, Bai Yang came up with a plan and took out the key and locked the door and rotated to the back of the truck.
The truck he rented was a low bed semi-trailer for heavy-duty, possessing more than 20 wheels alone, making 40-50 tons of cargo a joke to the truck.
Struggling to close the trailer doors, Bai Yang went into the deepest area and after nodding in satisfaction, he disappeared from the trailer and reappeared in the wooden bedroom in the barbarian village.
Thank goodness the lighting here is bad. A dark environment suits me best right now, easing my work.
Bai Yang nodded in satisfaction again after listening to the quiet environment around the village.
Carefully opening the bedroom door, Bai Yang thought he was already cautious enough, but he had obviously underestimated the alertness of the villagers here. Through the cold yet comfortable moonlight, at the very first second, Bai Yang caught the girl who was sleeping on the "living room" ground sat up right away just as he opened the door.
"It's okay. Just continue your sleep, I just needed to use the bathroom."
Without bothering if she could understand him, Bai Yang continued making hand signs and said.
The girl replied with her own language and continued sleeping after covering herself with the animal fur, but in the dark, her eyes were blinking quickly in nervousness and her heart started beating quickly.
Why was Bai Yang doing trying to sneak out from the bedroom in the dark? The answer was literally just right there, the girl was a little shy, partially worried and also slightly expectant….
In the embarrassing thought that was going to knock her out of consciousness, the girl waited and waited only to find no one getting close to her. Instead, dog barks came from beneath the treehouse and later on, Bai Yang's nervous soft groans.
Every thought disappeared from the girl's mind right away, she jumped up and from nowhere, pulled out a stick and charged out from the house. Through the moonlight, she saw Bai Yang surrounded by dogs.
With a feminine yet powerful shout, the two huge dogs ran away and the girl went to check on Bai Yang.
Bai Yang was a little out of sorts right now, if he hadn't clung onto the huge branch used to hang clothes at the split second, he would've become a delicious meal for the dogs right now; while looking at the girl who was watching him right now, he felt a little grateful but also awkward.
"I just wanted to take a walk…."
After getting down in a hurry, Bai Yang awkwardly said something, but it was an entirely different thing whether the girl understood him or not.
The girl replied with her beautiful voice and through guessing, Bai Yang assumed that she was trying to tell him that if he wanted to go out, he must be accompanied by her…..
Strange, there are not that many dogs in the day, damn, are these all mutants? They're as big as lions and tigers from Earth!
While grumbling in his heart, Bai Yang was also in shock and fear; if he had been bitten, he would've been halfway into the grave already!
Just how unlucky was he? Thankfully, the savior arrived quickly….
But this gave rise to another problem, with someone beside him, how was he supposed to move the wood to earth without drawing attention? Knocking her out was definitely one way, but the problem was Bai Yang didn't have the strength to overpower this girl. Using the stun baton for a sneak attack was an option but that was definitely something Bai Yang wouldn't resort to….
A few meters away was his target lying at the corner, on his side was a beauty illuminated by moonlight like a goddess. Gritting his teeth, Bai Yang stomped on the ground and decided to risk it.
I hope she's as obedient as she always is…
While mumbling secretly, Bai Yang got to the girl's side, pointed at the side and signaled her to go there. This gesture was quickly understood by the girl and the puzzled girl stood at the direction Bai Yang pointed and looked back at Bai Yang.
Bai Yang then started making gestures again, but to no avail. Seeing that she still couldn't understand him, he went straight up and covered her eyes, and repeated it again and again.
Finally, the girl understood him, closed her eyes and stood there without moving, but she began panting, her eyelids trembled and formed quite a beautiful scene herself.
Bai Yang almost forgot his purpose seeing this and he quickly shook himself off from the beauty. Step by step, he backed off from the girl, arrived at the corner where the woods were, climbed on top of them and immediately disappeared with them after seeing the girl was closing her eyes still.
Arriving back in the trailer on Earth, Bai Yang threw them on the ground and left…..
The girl's eyes were still closed, good, continue!
After a few times, seeing the girl still closing her eyes, Bai Yang started acting slightly more blatantly, only checking on the girl once after a few runs.
But not long later, Bai Yang was full of sweat, half out of nervous and the other from exhaustion.
Though the woods had been hacked into blocks, they still weighed more than 10kg each, and even without needing him to carry them, it was still a challenge to a shut-in like him.
Why am I so stupid? Why can't I hold onto them instead? Why did I go through much trouble carrying them?
While blaming himself for his own stupidity, Bai Yang started his experiment, and it worked! Without carrying them, as long as he was touching them, he would be able to teleport with them right away. His productivity increased tremendously with this. Each time, he was able to transport two blocks and his speed was even quicker than before!
As a result, Bai Yang blinked continuously and frequently, the amount of woodblocks decreased with each blink. In less than half an hour, he was done moving the blocks and the trailer was not even filled up….
After that, Bai Yang let out a relieved breath and the girl was still standing under the moon obediently, except that now she was obviously getting impatient….
"It's alright now, let's go," said Bai Yang.
The girl did not respond, and that was when Bai Yang remembered that she did not understand him, so he tapped on her shoulders and tried to open her eyes.
It was fine if he did not tap her, but when he tapped her shoulder, the girl threw herself into his arms and started crying sadly.
And that was really awkward. Bai Yang panicked right away, he thought, I did not even do anything to you! Why are you crying like I did something bad to you….
Whatever, she's a girl after all…..
He slowly patted the girl on her back and comforted, "Now now, stop crying, you don't look good when you cry. Besides, I did not do anything to you and I don't even understand your language so I wouldn't understand what you are trying to tell….."
Even though she did not understand, she finally calmed down after Bai Yang's ridiculous style of comforting and started leading the way back while lowering her head sadly.
Whatever reason was behind that outburst, Bai Yang did not know, so he simply followed her after scratching his head in confusion.
After returning to the treehouse, the girl lay down and covered herself with her blanket. Bai Yang returned to his room in a conflicted mind. He just did not know what had happened to her and could only let out a sigh before disappearing.
Back at the truck, Bai Yang looked at the wood blocks lying everywhere in the trailer, all of them glittering like gold!
Closing the trailer and returning to the cab, Bai Yang checked the time and realized that it was midnight. Setting his alarm to wake him at 8am, Bai Yang returned to the treehouse and slept.
But the weeping of the girl continued to distract him.
What the hell, the girl is onto me but I just can't understand her. I have no knowledge about their culture, so I don't even dare to do anything a man would normally do, even if I want to….
With a clouded mind, Bai Yang thought and thought like this for the rest of the night….


With the ability to freely travel between Earth and a fantasy world, Bai Yang became a porter of two worlds...
His objective was to establish a production line that would daily yield hundreds of millions of pills, pellets, and artifacts…

Nathaniel was gone when I woke up in the morning. And I reddened with shame at what I had allowed the night before. A small voice in my head whispered it was fine since we planned to get married but I knew that was the devil whispering in my ear. Fresh clothes were laid out on the couch for me along with a note that read, "Sorry, duty calls. I had a work emergency I had to tend to immediately. Start planning our wedding. I can't wait to call you mine for good. Don't forget to wear your ring so the world will know a beauty like you is already taken. I cannot wait to see you soon. All my love, Nathaniel."
I slipped on the casual jeans and t-shirt I'm guessing he bought at the mall when he went for the dress. I was sitting, pulling on my socks when my phone rang. I did a few hop steps putting on my second sock as I got off the couch to go answer the phone. Dakota's name and picture flashed across my screen at me before I answered. "Hello?" 
He laughed as he mocked the way my voice rocked up. "Hello!" 
I dropped down to sit on the bed and saw it was only 8 am. "Oh not funny. What do you want at this ungodly hour?" 
"Girl it's practically mid day already. And you know I can't help but laugh because the only time you sound like that is when you answer the phone. Don't tell me you are still laying around in bed with lover boy." 
I lay back and hated that it seemed he already knew what I had let happen without me saying. It was bad enough knowing it myself. My only reply was one quiet word. "Fiancé." 
He was still laughing but I knew the moment the word registered for him. His voice was serious finally when he asked, "do what?"
I took a breath and looked at the ring Nathaniel had slipped back on my finger before he left. "Nate proposed last night." 
There was silence on the line for a solid minute. "He asked you to marry him?"
I nodded even though he couldn't see me. "Yes."
"And you said yes..." He was upset...
I sat up and put my forehead in my hand. "Yes...we've talked about it for a few months now... I love him. We want to have a family." 
His voice was sharp and painful when he answered. "Seems y'all don't want to waste any time on that. Shouldn't you have the wedding first?" 
My hand flew straight to my mouth. It would have hurt less if he'd just punched me in the gut since I was already battling my own guilt over sharing a bed before marriage. "You...you were the first person I wanted to share my news with and this is the response I get? I thought you were supposed to be my best friend... I guess this makes my decision easier. I'm dropping out of the circuit. You'll just have to find a new partner. Goodbye Dakota." 
I hung up and sank to the floor in tears. My phone rang and rang as he tried to call me back but I ignored it as I finally wiped my face. I stood up and grabbed my clothes and keys. I made it to the door before I hurried back to get the picture I'd tucked into the bedside Bible last night. I folded it and slid it into my back pocket as I closed the door behind me. I felt a chapter of my life come to an end with the click of that door behind me. 
I was quick to check out and deposit my room key on the desk. I felt touched as I walked outside to see my truck and trailer in the parking lot. Nathaniel had seen to getting them brought over so I wouldn't have to catch a cab. I pulled out my phone and sent him a thank you text. "Thank you for being the most thoughtful FIANCÉ ever. From the clothes to my truck I feel like a princess when you spoil me so much xoxo"
He was quick to reply. "Only the best for my girl xoxo."
I knew he was likely busy so I sent him a quick "love you" as I headed to my truck. I navigated my way out of the hotel parking lot and made my way back through town to the arena to get my horses. 
I was relieved that the crowd from yesterday was mostly cleared out save two of three trailers. I parked right beside the barn doors so I wouldn't have to walk as far to load up. Angel and Red both had their heads hanging over the stall gates when I rounded the corner. It made my heart dance when Red gave me a whinney as he shook his head. I haltered him first and led him out to the trailer. He hopped right in with a gentle pat on the shoulder. I closed his side before going back for Angel. I was shocked when one of the other barrel racers was there waiting for me at Angel's stall. "Hey Grace."
"Hey Lily. What's up? I would have figured you would be on the road by now."
She shrugged. "I wanted to talk to you first. This little mare has come a long way. I've been watching her the last few months and I would like to buy her. Name your price." I thought she was joking until she pulled out her check book. My mouth dropped open and I was lost for words but my brain started turning. Maybe this was a sign. I knew her dad had the money to buy my whole set up. "Um... well actually...what would you think of doing a package deal?"
She tilted her head, "What kind of package?"
I mustered up my courage before I lost it. "Do you want to buy my whole set up: horses, trailer, and all? My boyfriend just proposed and he wants me to stay home to start a family. My loss can be your gain." 
Her jaw dropped. "You'd sell me everything?" 
I nodded. "Well all but my truck." 
"How much?"
I took a breath. Now came the hard part, negotiations. "80,000."
She bit her lip in thought. I could tell she wanted it. "Let me make a call."
I nodded and she stepped away. I caught a snippet here and there. It was enough to know she'd called her daddy and was trying to explain the level of the horses and how good condition my trailer was. My trailer alone was a $40,000 trailer. That priced Angel and Red at $20,000 each. They were worth every penny. 
I started to get nervous the longer they talked. She finally hung up and came back over to me and outstretched her hand with a beaming smile. "You've got a deal! Daddy's sending me a truck now." 
"Okay...Um let me throw Angel back in her stall and then I can unload Red and unhook the trailer." 
She held her hand out. "I can take her." 
I handed her the lead rope before turning to go to my trailer. I backed Red out slowly. With each step my decision becoming more real. I pet his neck as I turned him towards the barn leaving my hand resting on his shoulder. Lily came out and must have seen something in my face as I realized this was really goodbye. "Um hey Grace, why don't you say your goodbyes. I'll take care of unhooking the trailer." 
I smiled gratefully. "Thanks."
I had about an hour with them before I heard a truck pull up. A few seconds later Lily brought me my check. "I promise I'll take care of them." 
I nodded. My throat was so tight I knew I couldn't say anything more. I gave Angel and Red each one final kiss goodbye. And just like that the greatest chapter of my life came to an end.

Giving up on a dream is never easy. Giving up on a partnership is even harder. But when all your decisions end in pain who would want to go on? After losing her dream and giving up on love can there really be a gentleman out there for Grace?

Will

The Aftermath
Present day

The cool Seaside breeze picked up, whipping my tight leather jacket around my biceps, making me squeeze my arms across my chest. Annoyance surged through my body, making my blood hot despite the cold weather.
Angelica fucking Greene.
Late.
Shocker.
I gritted my teeth and flashed an irritated glance at my Rolex.
Make that an hour late to set.
Jaymeson waved at me from the beach and lifted his arms up in question. Of course, Angelica gets the second chance of a lifetime working for Jamie Jaymeson - one of the biggest names in the industry, not to mention the youngest - and she's late.
An hour late.
A pulsing headache throbbed behind my eyes; I pulled off my prescription sunglasses and blew out a breath between my teeth.
"Sorry!" Angelica's melodic voice interrupted the very vivid daydream I'd just been having: the one where I was chasing her with my car and she tripped, and I accidentally ran over her phone and ruined her life just like she was ruining mine. "Hey, I said I was sorry!" She stopped in front of me.
I didn't waver.
Didn't blink.
Just stared her down like the stranger she was.
No longer was she the girl I loved.
The girl I broke up my freaking band for.
The girl I swore I'd marry and move mountains for.
That girl had never existed.
The bitch in front of me?
My client?
My freaking reality.
"I thought you were dead." I lifted my chin.
With a scowl, she shoved her black Gucci sunglasses away from her eyes and into her hair. "Very funny."
"I wasn't joking."
She sighed, bracing her hips with her hands as the wind whipped her dark hair around her sharp cheekbones. God, the girl needed a cheeseburger. "Can we not do this right now, Will? Or ever?"
"What's the excuse this time." I grabbed her by the elbow and hauled her toward the set. "Coke not doing its job anymore?"
She jerked away from me, nearly stumbling onto the ground. "You know I quit that shit."
I grunted in response. "Next time you're late, I'm pulling you off the project."
"You can't do that." Her voice fell, weakened, made me doubt the irrational anger I almost always felt whenever I was in her presence. "Will, please this is my last-"
"You're late!" Jaymeson shouted.
I shoved her in the direction of the makeup trailer. "Get your skinny ass to makeup before I find a replacement, and don't think I won't do it, Angelica. God knows I'm the only one stupid enough to take you on as a client, and I am literally your only hope."
"That's a lie and you know it." She scowled.
"I own you," I whispered it roughly, and her body jerked in response. "Never forget that. Your pathetic career is in my hands. One more mistake, Angelica, and this is gone. All of it."
"Why?" she choked out, tears filling her eyes. "Why do you hate me so much?"
I exhaled in disbelief. "Hate isn't a strong enough word for how I feel about the woman I gave everything to - the woman who took it all away from me. Must suck to have the tables turn, to lose all the power you used to have." I nodded toward the trailer. "Go."
She started to walk away then stopped, giving me one last glance over her shoulder. "We used to be great."
"No." I swallowed. "We used to be a lie."

Her father became a drunk and started abusing her just recently. She has grown an attitude of being a rebel and mean towards others except her friend paris. She also runs with a bad boy named kyle. 
She doesnt know that she is about to come face to face with Santa. Mercedes enters the school and stands at her locker her best friend Paris comes up next to her. 
Paris... So Rachel any plans for Christmas in two weeks?
Mercedes... Nope, no big plans my dad will just be drunk and no presents again as always its like we're Jews. Yea we have a tree and lights and that but we never have presents to open. I just lay in bed and do my homework then do the dishes from dinner. 
Paris... Your wishing for something what is it?
Mercedes... Me wishing for something ha that's a laugh. 
Paris... Laugh all you want I know you Mercedes. If you wasn't wishing for something you wouldn't be just standing there you'd have your locker open. It's closed. Now what's up?

"Hey cuz," Jalissa said while popping Fruit Stripe gum. She must have had the entire huge package in her mouth because all you could smell under the trailer was sugary fruit.
Vanessa ducked beneath the trailer and found a place to sit between her cousin and Carmella Green. 
"Hey. You seen him?" Jalissa managed through a wad of gum.
"Nope."
"Seen who?" A girl with neatly braided hair asked. Her name was Sally but everyone called her Sal since they had to sing that song in music class that went; I had a mule, her name was Sal; fifteen miles on the Erie Canal…
"Scotty Tremont," Vanessa replied while trying to avoid the loose dirt by her feet so they wouldn't get her white sneakers dirty. 
Jalissa glared at Sal and rolled her eyes.
"Nobody. Mind your business, Sal."
Sally gave her cousin a narrowed eyed look. "Who you showing off for, girl?" She then turned her attention back to Vanessa. "Why you looking for Scotty?"
Vanessa looked from Sal to Jalissa who silently threatened to cream her if she talked. Vanessa tried to think of a way to change the subject.
"We ain't looking for him," she muttered. "I just want to avoid him."
"Ha, he steal something from you?"
"Yup!" Another girl hollered. "He stole money out of the teacher's purse one time and then he got kicked out of school for a week!"
"He's just trying to be like Tino." Malinda said while spitting sunflower seed shells onto the ground. 
Vanessa scowled in disapproval. "Why do you say that? Just because they're both white?" She was about to declare that all white people weren't dope boys and criminals like Tino—because if her suspicions were right Tino was more than just bad news, he was a killer. Malinda continued before she could.
"Nah, girl, because Tino and Scotty are brothers."
Vanessa sank into misery at that news. Her heart began to thump painfully in her chest. She wanted to cry. Scotty was bad enough but Tino was real bad news. He was sixteen or seventeen and had dropped out of school long ago. All he did was shoot dope, steal and beat people up. He would do just about anything for money. He would snatch a chain off your neck or stick you up for your shoes. He'd been in and out of juvie and they said the next time he got busted he was going to jail. 
They had to be wrong about this. The two boys couldn't be brothers because Tino was a Puerto Rican and Scotty was white. And then Vanessa considered the fact that looks didn't always mean anything. After all she looked like she was mixed and she wasn't.
Vanessa thought the most frightening thing about Tino is that he was as gorgeous as he was bad. He looked like Epstein from Welcome Back Kotter. He even sported an Afro and sideburns that looked as good as any of the black guys that he hung with. 
This time it was Vanessa's turn to glare at Jalissa. "Did you know about this?"
Her cousin's mouth popped open. "Well you should have never said his name, dummy!" Jalissa's eyes began to fill with tears.
"You two are cousins, don't fight." Theresa said. She was twelve like Vanessa but already had breasts the size of a grown lady. This only made her think that she should be the unofficial leader of the gang, which everyone pretty much agreed with. "Nobody's going to get you while you're in school. We're gonna have y'all backs." Both cousins suddenly looked relieved. "What did you do to him anyways?"
Vanessa continued to glare at her cousin. "Jalissa called him a honky."
There were several ooohs and aahhs. "Damn J. You got guts," Theresa cussed in admiration. 
Suddenly Jalissa didn't look like she wanted to cry but puffed out her chest. She resumed popping her gum, "I was like 'Whatchu doing up here white boy!'"
The girls oohed and aahed again, impressed by the gutsy eleven-year old. From there the conversation moved to how cute Tino was. However Vanessa had seen Tino do two things that would never allow her see him as anything but someone to run from. 
The first thing is that she saw him throw a match into someone's car. He was just casually walking down the street and lighting a cigarette. As he walked he tossed the lit match into the open window of the car … and just kept walking. Later she heard that the car had caught on fire and people said that it could have blown up. What she found most unnerving about it is that Tino hadn't been with anyone. He'd done something like that and it wasn't to impress his friends. 
The second reason she was terrified of Tino—and by far the worst thing is that she suspected something very bad about him, something that he didn't know she suspected. 
There were many things about the ghetto that scared Vanessa; boys that might catch you and do something bad to you, the dope man … and the vacant building where they had found the dead little girl. And Vanessa suspected Tino was responsible for the little girl's death. 
Mama was waiting for her when she came out of the trailer after school. A smile crossed Vanessa's face when she saw the white Cadillac with its red interior. Mama was wearing sunglasses and she looked hip like Pam Greer from the movie Coffy. They had seen it at the drive-in even though it showed women with their shirts off. But she didn't care about that. They always showed that kind of movie at the drive-in and at the Regal Theater and she'd always watched them despite the R-rating.
 People said that her mother was beautiful and Vanessa agreed but was more impressed with just how cool she was. Her mother had to be the best-dressed person at Cincinnati Bell Telephone where she worked in collections. Some nights she also worked at a club where she tended bar whenever they needed the extra help.

In 1977 12-year old Vanessa White lives just out of reach of the projects that both scare and entice her. It is the year that she meets 14-year old Scotty Tremont, one of the few white boys to live in the ghetto. Initially afraid that Scotty intends to beat her up because her cousin called him white trash, Vanessa soon learns that although Scotty is a ‘Trick Baby’ and will probably be a dope boy just like his brother, he also somehow manages to be compassionate. 

Scotty is learning something as well; that his path has not been laid out before him and that everything isn’t necessarily everything. This book series takes the reader back to the 70’s style urban lit stories of life in the ghetto. It begins in the 70s and moves throughout the decades following the lives of people whose stories have intertwined in a romantic, tragic, sometimes funny, tale of street life. This story is for adult readers only and contains mature themes including language, sex, violence, drugs and racism. 


Martin was half way asleep when there was a frenzied banging on the door of his camper. He sat up and peered through the tiny window. Myrna was standing outside with a bottle in one hand. She took a swig as she hammered on his door with her other. He pulled on his pants and a shirt. He had no interest in facing a drunk woman in his boxers. He took a deep breath then pushed the door open.
The door pushed Myrna back, and she sat hard on the ground. She upended the bottle over her mouth then threw it at Martin. She had surprisingly good aim for being so drunk, but Martin got his arm up in time to protect his face. The bottle bounced off him and smashed against the door of his trailer.
"You could give a girl some warning," Myrna said as she tried to stand. Martin sighed and grabbed his shoes. He put them on before picking his way over to give her a hand up. As soon as she was on her feet she threw herself at Martin and tried to kiss him. The alcohol on her breath sent danger signals through him. He pushed her away a little harder than he intended.
"Wha', " she said, "don't you want any of this?" She pulled her blouse open to reveal ample breasts. "Don't get much of this in the big house, do you?" She tried to get close to Martin again, but he put up his hand.
"Please just go to bed," he said.
"You some kind of effing gay?" Myrna laughed and wiggled in what she must have thought was an erotic manner. "You must have been real popular." She wrapped herself up again without buttoning the shirt. "Just my luck," she muttered, "two effing directors and they're both effing gay." She wandered away in what Martin hoped was the direction of her trailer.
He closed the door to his camper and tossed his shoes in the corner before heading back to bed. His right foot landed on a shard of glass from the bottle. He stumbled into the wall and banged his head. He felt like the miasma of Myrna's breath still hung around him. He realized that the bottle hadn't been completely empty.
Martin sat on the bed and pulled needle-nose pliers from his work drawer. He used them to extract the glass. It hadn't gone in too deeply, so he taped it up and put on a clean sock. When he was done with that he fetched his broom and meticulously swept every corner of his camper free of glass. He'd have to do something with the glass outside in the morning.
He awoke with a start sometime later. He didn't know what woke him, but his heart was pounding, and he was gasping for air. Martin sat on the bed and went through every yoga routine he knew before he started to relax. By then the sky in the east was beginning to lighten.
He was picking up the remains of the bottle when Bill came by.
"Have you seen Myrna?" Bill said.
"Not since she banged on my door drunk and angry," Martin said. "She left just as drunk and even angrier. She complained about being on a set with two directors and both of them gay."
"Ah, yes," Bill looked down, "she tried to seduce me and was very insulting when I refused her. But I am gay. It is what drove a wedge between my father and me."
"I was wondering more about the two directors part, than the gay part."
"Oh, right," Bill looked up at Martin. "I warned her that if she tried anymore shots that put the actors, or anyone else, in danger I would fire her and make you director."
Martin shook his head.
"I told you that I didn't want to direct."
"Martin," Bill said, "everyone wants to direct. I'll get one of the women to check Myrna's trailer. If she was that drunk she'll be useless all morning, so you're on. Meet me in fifteen at the canteen and we'll go over the shooting list for today.
Martin put the glass in the garbage and headed over to the canteen. He didn't want to direct, but he felt an undercurrent of excitement that made him wonder if he was lying to himself.
The actors and crew were standing around the canteen with coffee or an alternative. Martin grabbed a tea and poured lots of sugar and milk in. There was a single lonely muffin on a tray so he slathered butter on it and tried to pretend that it wasn't like eating paper.
"Ok, gang," Bill said as he joined them, "Myrna is not around this morning. She's not in her trailer, so unless one of you wants to go to your trailer to wake her up..." He paused as some of the actors shrugged, but no one moved. "Fine, so Martin will be doing the filler shots today. Brad, you have the shot list so you'll assist. Take crew two for cameras. The rest of us have some dialogue to shoot." He clapped his hands. "Let's go people."
"You're directing?" Brad said. Martin could see the younger man's jaw clenching and unclenching.
"It's not my idea," he said, "I'm really going to need your help today. Let's show Bill what we can do."
"We?"

Although people often said that soap operas were too dog blood and have no sustenance, it was precisely those wanton ups and downs conflicts and intense contradictory soap operas that had very high ratings.
In recent years, TV drama programs were getting longer and longer, some with even eighty or ninety episodes. For example, in some reproductions in the old versions from the last era, it would only use one episode to narrate and resolve these few plot points; but in the remake version, it would use three episodes! So the once only about a dozen or twenty episodes would turn into a few dozens and even hundreds of episodes.       
There was an advantage to weekly dramas, which was that they were usually short. In general, it would not exceed fifteen episodes.
Therefore, if you wanted to tell an understandable story within fifteen episodes, every episode would be packed full of fierce conflicts to make the audience continued to watch while feeling annoyed, but still excitedly chased after it. This was also the reason why weekly dramas could air once a week: because there were still so many viewers willing to wait to watch.   
When Zhao Mei turned on her TV and tuned in to her favorite channel, there was only five minutes left before that ancient-style weekly drama she had been following every week started. She excitedly waited for the drama to begin. In last week's episode, the male lead actually died and today was the finale, if the male lead really died… En, send blade, must send blade!   
Just as Zhao Mei got some melon seeds and fruits and was waiting patiently, the promotional trailer for weekly dramas on the channel suddenly played.     
The first one pulled away Zhao Mei's attention from eating! Eating! Eating! What attracted her was the intense and hurried background music. This music was oppressive and persisted. It was as if there was someone rapidly hurrying through the dark night, the beat of the drums causing people to can not help but feel nervous. Then Zhao Mei looked up and saw one huge word——     
"AMBUSH!"
In the next moment, the scene changed in an instant and showed a heated battlefield, the gunfire roaring.
The first one to appear on screen was a young man wearing a light blue military uniform. He wore a pair of silver spectacles and looked rather refined and scholarly, but the screen shifted, and he suddenly changed into all black and whispered in a low voice in an alleyway: "804, 197."  
 
Subtitles appeared on screen: Han Yanghao as Bai Mingde.
Next came a feminine and elegant woman. She was dressed in a simple floral cheongsam and stood on a podium, gently teaching the students about the Chinese classicals. But when the image shifted, she firmly looked straight at Bai Mingde, and solemnly declared: "I am willing to join you!"    
Zhang Tongtong as Liang Linghui.
Zhao Mei was instantly interested after seeing these two handsome man and beautiful lady. She attentively watched the TV screen, muttering to herself as munched on her melon seeds: "Han Yanghao ah, I haven't seen him in a long time. This Zhang Tongtong is also very pretty ah. Where have I seen this drama again ah? Ambush, Am… bush…"   
Her voice suddenly stopped and Zhao Mei stared wide-eyed at the TV screen.  
On the screen, a man wearing a dark military uniform was riding a coal-black wild horse, pulling the reins in the middle of a heavy snowstorm. The dark overcoat contrasted against the white snow, causing a lurid contrast to the eyes. He wore a leather military visor and calmly looked ahead. Suddenly, the corner of his mouth casted a touch of an indifferent and mocking smile. Then, he drew his gun! And fired!             
Bang——
Rong Xu as Huo Xi.
Time seemed to have stood still. After the screen finally switched to the second female lead Yi Lan, Zhao Mei suddenly screamed: "Wasn't that the little beauty from "Vie for Supremacy"! Right right right! He also appears in "Ambush", I even heard people talk about it a few days ago ah, I actually forgot! F*ckf*ckf*ckf*ckf*ck, he also looks extremely handsome in a military uniform!!!"
At the moment, the trailer was still showing on screen. All four male and female protagonists were introduced and the image quickly switched. This trailer was only one and a half minutes long. Right now, there was only thirty seconds left.  
In the remaining thirty seconds, Bai Mingde and Liang Linghui had their first encounter, and Liang Linghui married Huo Xi. Bai Mingde almost had his identity discovered, so Huo Xi set up a scheme to test Bai Mingde but it was inadvertently leaked by Liang Linghui. In the end, Bai Mingde was prepared… and so, Ba Mingde successfully passed and was promoted by Huo Xi.
Many points of the story quickly displayed itself in front of Zhao Mei's eyes like a lantern with a constant carousel of paper horses. In the last ten seconds, the scene turned to Bai Mingde and Liang Linghui, each holding onto a book and chatting beside a window; then in the final five seconds, the scene changed again. A pair of slender and beautiful hands suddenly appeared from behind Liang Linghui and fiercely pulled her into their arms with great strength!  
 
The top three buttons of the white shirt was unbuttoned, revealing a fragile collarbone. The head of messy black hair let him lose some of his coldness and appeared more dangerous and sexy. He tightly embraced this woman from behind. The red cheeks suggested that this man was drunk, and then he lowered his head, his eyes downcast. The long eyelashes drooped down, his lips slightly opened, and two words softly came out——
"Hui girl…"
The hoarse, sexy voice reverberated in the room for a long time, as if it could tantalize the desires deep in the heart, it was full of temptation.  
In the next moment, the screen darkened and it was over!
The huge letters "AMBUSH" was printed on the TV screen. Ten seconds later, the grand finale of Zhao Mei's long-awaited weekly drama started, but at this moment, how was Zhao Mei in the mood to care about that drama ah! Her eyes widened and her face flushed. She urgently opened her WeChat to tell her best friend.  
[Ah ah ah ah!!! Lulu did you see the promo trailer that played before "Qingcheng Sword" today ah!!! The one from "Ambush", "Ambush"!!! There was that actor Rong Xu from "Vie for Supremacy" that you especially liked ah! He's so handsome ah, I thought he would have gone the 'juvenile' route like in "Vie for Supremacy", how can he be so sexy but also so charming at the same time ah ah ah!!!]
It was not just Zhao Mei, there were numerous viewers like Zhao Mei throughout China.
A cast with high attractiveness and an intense conflict storyline, coupled with excellent filming and post-production; "Ambush" short one-and-a-half minute promotion trailer quickly swept the internet.    
At the same time as the TV station aired the promo trailer, it was simultaneously released on the drama's official website and Weibo. There are people like Zhao Mei who saw it on TV, and there were also people who saw it online when they were strolling through Weibo and the videos.     
But no matter where they saw the trailer, their biggest response was——
[Just base off these faces, I can already eat ten bowls of rice!!! ]
Prior to accepting this drama, Luo Zhentao had told Rong Xu before: "This drama has a very high standard for appearances."
Which was why in this drama, while Zhang Tongtong and Yi Lan are extremely popular, the main reason they succeeded in becoming the female lead and second female lead was because they had pretty face. Although saying it out loud, it sounded a bit superficial, but good-looking people could always make people look at them and feel their mood rise; this point was beyond doubt.   
 
[I feel this drama can become popular, I bet five cents that it can definitely get 0.8!]
[What does 0.8 count as, I think it can definitely get 1!]
���Just five cents, who'll bet with you. If it gets 1, then I'll eat my keyboard! Ling Zhen's adaptation idol drama will also start airing next week. Both are weekly dramas and are even playing at the same time. That idol drama has a lot of fans from the original, with it here, this "Ambush" definitely won't be able to make it!]
Thanks to the trailer, "Ambush" once again set off another fiery debate.
For weekly dramas, there would be a time gap between episodes aired each week, with at most only two episodes per week, so the ratings were often not as good as the daily dramas. But it wasn't like there was a lack of excellent weekly dramas. There was once a weekly drama that reached a rating of 5 each episode, beating all the other daily dramas that aired beside it.  
Countless people were feeling very excited about "Ambush" trailer. They absolutely must watch, mark down the release! But there are also some people who expressed: [The trailer is pretty, there are too many of these rubbish dramas.]
There was also a small number of people who were very concerned about the ratings. For example, "Ambush" which would be aired at the same time together next week with "The Summer's Truth". This was an adaptation. The female lead was called Xia Zhenshi. The original novel was extremely popular when it was adapted into an animation and now that it was adapted into a drama, many had high hopes for it.
So like this, "Ambush" had all kinds of topics to help with the promotion. The TV station and crew put in extra effort in pushing out this trailer and let "Ambush" popularity landed it on the top ten trending list. At the same time, it was also shown on loop in the homepages of major video websites.
It could be said that as long you were someone who used the internet, you definitely would have heard the name "Ambush" in the past few days. Even if you weren't a netizen, that's okay too. You could not go online, but you at least watch TV right? On TV, the trailer was shown ten times a day!   
And Qin Cheng saw this trailer was not because of the constant promotion on the internet, nor was it because of the netizens' crazy discussions and starry-eyed infatuation, and it definitely was not because he turned on the TV and saw the trailer, but because… he secretly set up a special notification for Rong Xu.  
[Rong Xu: There was a constant worry on Marshal Huo's mind. Everyone all likes call him less handsome, but he is obviously very handsome, why is he called less handsome? He should be called "very handsome"~ [laughs][laughs][laughs]         //"Ambush" crew: The trailer is now out. Lying, waiting beside you, was it my reasoning, or was it my feelings? [Video Link]]
 
Qin Cheng lowered his eyes, not yet opening the video, but instead seriously read every single word Rong Xu wrote and then silently curled his lips.
——En. Very cute. The pun was also very cute.
Xu Jin who was beside him suddenly laughed out loud: "Hahahaha, did you see Rong Xu's post on Weibo? I followed him a few days ago. He just forwarded a post and even especially added a little skit. Isn't the skit a bit too cold, I thought I would die from laugh…ter…" The laughter froze within Qin Cheng's dangerously icy stare.  
Throwing away this matter to the back of his head, Qin Cheng put on a calm and composed face before opening and watching the video.
When he saw Han Yanghao introduced, he was expressionless; When he saw Zhang Tongtong introduced, he still had facial paralysis. He then suddenly saw Rong Xu's appearance! Qin Cheng nodded in satisfaction. Who knew that the shot was only for five seconds, Qin Cheng had only managed to clearly see the youth's face when the screen suddenly switched again to Yi Lan!
Qin Cheng: "..."
Next was a dazzling successive appearance of the story's important points.   
Qin Cheng had acted in many films. With just these, he more or less guessed what kind of film "Ambush" was. He indifferently watched the video, only when Rong Xu appeared would he nod his head. When Rong Xu was gone, he continued his indifference.
Up until the very last ten seconds, Qin Cheng still continued to silently watch. When a slender, white hand suddenly appeared on the screen, he blanked out. But! He saw the youth, not fully dressed, pulled Zhang Tongtong into his embrace! His face drunken red!
He even hugged her so tightly! And even leaned in so close to her when speaking!   
"Hui girl…"
A hoarse and sexy voice was heard through the phone, Qin Cheng was instantly stunned. At this point, the screen had already dimmed. The trailer was over, and Xu Jin also happened to just finished watching it as well. He turned to talk to Qin Cheng, but when he saw the other's strange expression, he tactfully said: "It's been a while since I've last come to the company, I think I'll go and stroll around a bit."   
 
Xu Jin hurriedly fled, no way did he want to stay together with this man who seemed like he was suddenly in a bad mood for no good reason. It would cost him his life.   
And so he naturally didn't notice that when Qin Cheng heard the low murmur, the tip of his ear was slowly turning red. He coughed and got up to walk around a bit to the window. He felt like he had nothing else to do and silently walked back to the sofa… to open the video and watch it again!
Jumping straight to the end!
Ignore that woman!
…En, very handsome.
***
Xiangshan Movie and Television City, "Ambush" crew.
The filming for all the night scenes today were finished. Rong Xu took off his makeup and returned to the hotel with Luo Zhentao. When they were halfway back, Rong Xu suddenly remembered: "By the way, Luo ge, about the apartment I asked you to help me find. Did  you ask if I can immediately move in when I return to B-City?"    
Luo Zhentao nodded: "Of course, the owner and I have already discussed it. You can go sign the contract after you return to B-City."  
Rong Xu nodded his head slightly.
Luo Zhentao smiled and asked: "Do you want me to request for a moving company? Or I can go help?
Rong Xu shook his head: "No need, I don't have a lot of things."
Luo Zhentao nodded in understanding.
Four days quickly passed, and it was finally the day "Ambush" was going to be aired! On that day, Director Zheng ended the crew's filming early. Everyone returned to the hotel to watch the live broadcast on TV.
When everyone was leaving, someone jokingly said, "The Summer's Truth" also seems to be airing on Mango Station, I wonder how they're doing."  
 
Director Zheng raised an eyebrow, "You guys think that we'll lose?"
Upon hearing these words, everyone laughed.
They didn't know whether they would lose or not, but they had confidence in their work. The ratings definitely would not be bad!
 
The author has something to say:
Rongrong: Is my little skit not funny _(:3」∠)_
Fuwa: You ask my sisters, they seem like they're gonna die from laughter~
Qin Orangeorange[Cold indifferent staring]: Do you think that. It. Is. Funny?
