“Hello?”
“Big Sister…” Chu Hui’s voice sounded even more obedient through the phone . “When are you coming back?”
Ming Shu looked out of the window . It was snowing heavily . “Around 9 PM . ”
“Oh . ”
Chu Hui replied sadly .
“Have you taken your medicine?”
“Yes . ”
No sound came from the other end of the line . Ming Shu could only hear Chu Hui’s calm breathing .
Ming Shu broke the silence . “I met your brother just now . ”
Silence .
Dead silence .
Chu Hui replied around 30 seconds later . “What did he say?”
“He said…” Ming Shu paused . “He said that you like to snatch what he likes . ”
Chu Hui’s breathing stopped for a moment .
His cellphone seemed to be pulled away from his mouth . His voice was faint . “It’s not true… I didn’t . I really like you . Don’t listen to his nonsense…”
Ming Shu smiled . “Do you mean to say you didn’t think this way at the start?”
Chu Hui: “…”
The two of them didn’t say anything .
Ming Shu listened to the irregular breathing of Chu Hui . She suddenly wanted to go back .
Her smile widened . It was gentle and sincere . “Don’t hang up . ”
“Huh?” Chu Hui was puzzled .
Ming Shu took out her bluetooth earphones and put her cellphone in her pocket . “You can do whatever you want but don’t hang up . ”
Chu Hui was standing in the living room and looking at Gold Ingot .
He placed the cellphone on the table and pressed the speaker . He mouthed to Gold Ingot: What does she mean?
Gold Ingot pushed the cellphone with his short legs .
The cellphone dropped onto the floor .
Chu Hui gasped and quickly picked it up .
“You are so evil . ” Chu Hui pushed Gold Ingot forcefully . However, his tone was soft as though he was just complaining .
Ming Shu heard some noise from the other end but she couldn’t decipher what it was .
Chu Hui rested his chin on his arms and continued fiddling with Gold Ingot .
When Ming Shu returned to the makeup room, her makeup artist asked her to change her clothes first .
She took her clothes and went to the cubicle at the side .
She took off her outerwear slowly . When she pulled out her gown from the bag, she paused . When White Lemon passed her the bag just now, it was tied up . She never opened it . Did someone touch the bag?
She spent some time talking to Chu Hui…
Ming Shu took out her gown and inspected it carefully . She couldn’t see what was wrong with it but for safety, she didn’t put it on .
She took out another gown from her storage space .

The ceremony was held at a high-class location . Many celebrities were invited too .
“This way please . ” The usher was guiding the crowd into the venue .
Ming Shu took a pen . She signed and took some photos .
Lin Yuxin was beside her . She sized up Ming Shu and then left quickly .
Ming Shu smiled . She left after signing .
Just as she was walking out of the signature venue, a commotion arose at the side .
Ming Shu turned back . The crowd was a mess . The gown that White Lemon gave her was worn by an unfamiliar author . Someone stepped on a corner of the gown and the dress got torn .
She didn’t pass the gown back to White Lemon because it had been tampered with . She left it at the makeup room .
She didn’t expect someone to wear it .
And something really happened .
When Lin Yuxin looked at her just now…
She must have been wondering why she didn’t wear the gown .
Tsk tsk…
There are always people coveting my snacks .
Ming Shu returned to her seat . She ate her snacks . Suddenly, someone sat down next to her . Ming Shu glanced at the person . It was Chu Han .
“Guru, your seat is in front . ”
The status of Ice Lake Snow was much higher than hers . She was just a replica who wanted to change her industry .
Chu Han looked sideways at her . “Everywhere is the same to me . ”
Since he didn’t care, Ming Shu had nothing to say . She focused on eating her snacks and listening to Chu Hui . Something happened on his end and there was a commotion .
The seats around Ming Shu started to fill up . Many people greeted Ice Lake Snow . Since Ice Lake Snow was male, most people who sat around them were males . Hence, Ming Shu stood out .
Of course, after Ming Shu made some sarcastic remarks at them, no one dared to talk to her .
How could someone so violent get married?
“Why is Wei Ran so close with Ice Lake Snow?”
“Who knows what method she used . ”
“Do you all think that Wei Ran…” The person who was talking pointed to her head . “I think that her actions recently looked like…”
“Writing is a dangerous occupation . We have to face the computer everyday and stay up all night to rush our chapters . There are many reports of authors dying suddenly . There are also all kinds of pressures in our daily life . It is not as glamorous as what other people think . It is understandable if she really develops a mental illness . ”
“What are you all saying?”
Ming Shu ignored the discussions around her . The fact that she was more impressive than them would not change just because they talked behind her back .
Chu Han, on the other hand, kept glancing at her .
He was curious why she didn’t have any reaction after hearing the conversations .
The awards ceremony ended smoothly .
Lin Yuxin was giving the Most Promising Author award .
Ming Shu got the the Best Adaptation award . Ice Lake Snow won it too so they went up on stage together .
After the awards ceremony ended, there was still photo-taking and interviews . By the time Ming Shu finished, it was almost 9 PM .
She told Chu Hui that she would go back by 9 PM .
Ming Shu returned to the makeup room . She pulled on her outerwear and didn’t even change her dress .
“Wei Ran!”
A few girls walked into the makeup room . The girl that made a fool of herself on the red carpet was in the middle .
They blocked the entrance of the makeup room .
“What’s up?”
“Why is this gown torn?” They threw the gown at Ming Shu . Ming Shu tilted to the side and dodged .
The gown landed beside her feet .
Ming Shu was puzzled .
“So what if the gown is torn? What does it have to do with me?” She really didn’t understand what those ladies were thinking .
“You…” The girl gritted her teeth . “You cause Ruyi to lose face . Why is it none of your business?”
Ming Shu was speechless . These people’s intellect must either be influenced by the fake female protagonist or they were honestly stupid .
“Be reasonable . The gown was placed here . You took it without my consent and now you’re blaming me?”
Ming Shu paused . “If there was nothing wrong with the gown, I would not change clothes . Are you all stupid or…”
Wait…
Ming Shu suddenly came to her senses .
She smiled brightly . “Yes, that’s right! I did it!”
Those girls that felt wronged and were being unreasonable were stunned by Ming Shu’s sudden change in attitude .
