The young woman had a slender figure and her silhouette revealed her graceful mien. When it falls into Tang Yao’s eyes, she couldn’t help but feel cold all over her body. Fear and jealousy filled her chest, like tiny worms eating at her heart.

Her grip tightened on the mouse as she continued to scroll down. She was greeted by people’s awe. Everyone was discussing the identity of the girl, hoping to find her.

Tang Yao bit her lips and her face turned pale.

Qin Lili, who was beside her, noticed the content of the post. She pointed to the photo on the computer and exclaimed, “Isn’t this Yu Mian?”

Under the illumination of the fluorescent screen, her expression of jealousy, humiliation, and disbelief emerged one by one, distorting her ordinary face into a weird appearance.

“Some time ago, she said she’s sick and got hospitalized, and she even asked for leave. Did she go to have plastic surgery?”

She stared at Yu Mian’s face in the photo, speculating with the greatest malice, “And the fact that she’s so rich but never talks about her family, maybe she got her money using this face?”

After hearing Qin Lili’s words, Tang Yao’s hand scrolling through the comment gave a violent start.

Many people saw her talking to Yu Mian that day. It was only a matter of time before Yu Mian’s identity was revealed. However, Tang Yao didn’t expect that Yu Mian’s face was so powerful. Seeing that her plan was about to fail, she absolutely couldn’t allow the current to develop like this.

Although she’s aware that Yu Mian didn’t have a plastic surgery, there’s a large portion of people that had no idea. With Qin Lili’s reminder, perhaps she could guide the public in that direction.

Most people were ignorant and just blindly followed others. They were used to being swayed by public opinion, believing only what they want to see and hear, and doesn’t care about the truth.

Someone gradually revealed the news in the thread, pointing out that the ‘fairy’ in everyone’s mouth was Yu Mian, the ‘white-eyed wolf best friend’ in another thread.

From an ugly monster to a fairy, only a few threads separated it. After reading the two threads, the crowd of onlookers were shocked.

The trend has changed again. The comments on Tang Yao’s thread no longer blindly condemn the ‘white-eyed wolf best friend’. Originally, many of Tang Yao’s supporters came for her appearance, but now that there’s a ‘fairy’ with better appearance and temperament, the stance of many face dogs were instantly on the verge of collapse.

In fact, no one could blame them for not being firm in their stance. After all, they were students of art and their yearning for ‘aesthetics’ was well-known to the world. Therefore, their pursuit of beautiful appearance was somewhat understandable.

Someone said bluntly, 【To be honest…… I’m purely a face dog. I saw that Yu Mian was so ugly before, so I definitely support Goddess Tang Yao. Now that Yu Mian is more beautiful, I will support her.】

【We’re not involved in what’s going on between the two of them so I don’t care who’s right or wrong, I’ll support whoever is good-looking.】

【I don’t care about anything else. I’m just curious about what Yu Mian was thinking before. She has such a face but dresses up like a ghost. Is it because she’s too pretty?】

All the other face dogs’ speech was basically the same as above, however, Tang Yao had accumulated a lot of fans over the past two months and most of them still stood by Tang Yao and spoke up for her.

【The people above have really skewed values. What’s the use of just having a good-looking face? Is Yu Mian comparable to Goddess Tang Yao? The goddess is kind and gentle, unlike her, who’s a white-eyed wolf and doesn’t have a conscience.】

【Speaking of her, I just want to say, no one is that stupid to make themselves look ugly on purpose, right? This Yu Mian was so ugly before and suddenly became so beautiful, no one suspected anything?】

A source revealed, 【She was recently hospitalized due to illness and took a long leave of absence.】

It was a simple sentence, but it contained a huge amount of information, and everyone smelled something fishy in it.

Someone raised an objection, 【But Yu Mian’s facial features look very natural. It doesn’t seem like she had plastic surgery.】

【I compared the two photos and found that her facial features and face shape haven’t changed much. Aren’t you guys being too sensitive?】

Another person countered, 【How do you know she didn’t have it fix? Look at how heavy her makeup was before, maybe she had some kind of scar on her face?】

【Nowadays, the plastic surgery industry is so advanced and the technology is very mature, so we can’t really tell even if she did some minor adjustments or not, okay?】

By the end of the argument, except for a few stubborn face dog who shouted 【I like her even if she had plastic surgery】 and 【I don’t care as long as she looks good】, most passersby believed it’s a fact that Yu Mian had plastic surgery.

Without Yu Mian’s knowledge, she was first labeled as ‘the white-eyed wolf best friend who hurt Tang Yao’, then she became ‘a fairy on earth sought by countless people’, and finally, it inexplicably turned to ‘someone who had plastic surgery’.

Yu Mian knew nothing about this and had a tasteless lunch.

She was originally absent-minded, but after crying on the spot from the spiciness, she was now not even in the mood to eat.

Shen Shang hadn’t finished eating yet, so Yu Mian remained on her seat and waited for him. Neither of them liked to talk while eating so there was complete silence between them.

Yu Mian sat for a while and found it awkward to keep looking at Shen Shang, so she simply turned her head to look out the window. Through the wide open window, one could see the two rows of osmanthus trees standing quietly on the roadside, their rich fragrance drifting in the wind.

She looked at the trees covered with golden flowers in the distance and couldn’t help but take out her mobile phone to take a photo of it.

She then opened Weibo, found Deer’s chat box, and sent the photo she just took.

【Red Cotton Tree: The osmanthus flowers are blooming, can you smell it?】

During the time she was discharge from the hospital, Yu Mian’s exchanges with this online friend had gradually become more frequent. She had no clue how the change happened. It seemed that after learning that she was sick, Deer started to send her messages asking if her condition was getting better.

Although there’s still not much communication, they were no longer as unfamiliar as before.

The two of them would occasionally chat whenever Deer was free.

Yu Mian discovered that Deer was extremely busy with work. The other person would occasionally disappear while chatting with her, and would reply after a long time, always saying, 【Sorry, I was busy】.

She just had a thought and felt that the osmanthus in front of her smelled really good, so she couldn’t help but find someone to share it with.

She didn’t have many friends now, so the perfect person to talk to was Deer, who was an online friend. Deer was a very polite and reserved person. The other party never probe her privacy during the chat, and every conversation was to the point, which made people feel comfortable.

It was also because of this comfortable way of getting along that Yu Mian gradually regarded the other person as a friend with whom she could share her life, even though the other person was just an unknown netizen.

After sending the message and receiving no response for two minutes, Yu Mian stopped waiting and put the phone away.

At this time, in a studio on the other side of the capital, Lin Jianshen was filming a fight scene. He was lifted up in the air with a wire while holding a gleaming sword in his hand. His flawless white clothes were stained with specks of blood.

The makeup artist put on an injured makeup look for him, with a few strands of hair falling loose. His handsome face was covered with a layer of powder, giving him a pale complexion. His lips were stained bright red and a trace of blood slid down to his chin, which was then casually wiped away by his slender fingers

As his clothes fluttered, he waved his long sword to repel the attacking men in black one by one. His narrowed eyes were dark, as if a storm was brewing inside them.

The onlookers watched with rapt attention, feeling as if their hearts leaped up along with him. It wasn’t until the man finished a series of difficult movements, stood still on the ground and turned his head to look at the director that everyone seemed to wake up from a dream.

“Fantastic job!” The director watched the recorded video, slapping his thighs and grinning from ear to ear. “It’s a pass, it’s a pass! Everyone can take a break and go have lunch!”

They still need to continue filming after lunch, thus Lin Jianshen didn’t change out of his costume and left immediately after the staff took off the wire.

Fang Da was still watching the video with the stunt coordinator, and he exclaimed, “I really didn’t expect it! He’s able to pass it in one shot! I was already prepared for NG since the scene was too long and it will be really hard for him to do a continuous shot. It seems I have underestimated him……”

The stunt coordinator said, “I told you Lin Jianshen can do it. I’ve worked with him in another film and know how much potential he has. Well now you have to listen to me. I think we can do a continuous shot for the next few scenes for a smoother effect……”

Fang Da nodded repeatedly. “Okay, okay, okay.”

Lin Jianshen had already walked to the side. Dai Zhong handed him a boxed lunch and his mobile phone as usual.

Lin Jianshen took the phone first without hesitation.

“I knew you’re going to take the phone.” Dai Zhong muttered without surprise, opened the boxed lunch for Lin Jianshen, then started eating by himself.

Lin Jianshen, still wearing the blood-stained costume, stood underneath an osmanthus tree while looking down at his mobile phone.

Standing upright and dressed elegantly in white, although he was silent, he was like a pearl that couldn’t be ignored.

The second female lead, Lu Yinyin, held the script and walked over to him with bright eyes.

“Teacher Lin…… may I ask you a question?” She took a deep breath and asked nervously.

Lin Jianshen glanced up at her before dropping his eyes back at his phone. He said in a faint tone, “It’s lunch time now.”

Lu Yinyin froze. She happened to have no scenes when Lin Jianshen was filming so she had lunch earlier than him. She had no idea that Lin Jianshen hadn’t had lunch yet.

“S-sorry for bothering you, Teacher Lin, I’ll ask you for advice some other time.” Lu Yinyin hurriedly apologized and left with reddened ears.

Dai Zhong looked at the young woman’s flustered and depressed back, and raised an eyebrow in interest.

This second female lead was brought in by an investor. She’s probably a little princess who came to the entertainment industry to amuse herself. Her acting skills were much worse than those professionally trained, especially in front of Lin Jianshen. She would always look extremely nervous, and the more nervous she became, the worse her acting was. Lin Jianshen had to be dragged to do another take every time.

Dai Zhong always thought she’s nervous because she’s afraid of Lin Jianshen. But now it seems……

The young woman must be feeling sad. Lin Jianshen was just like a piece of wood. He had never seen him showed affection to any girl and Dai Zhong always thought that he’s going to die alone all his life because of his lack of desire.

He slowly withdrew his gaze and turned to the piece of wood, Lin Jianshen.

“Jianshen, what are you doing?”

Lin Jianshen didn’t waste words. “Taking a picture.”

Dai Zhong reminded like an old lady, “Be careful not to leak anything.”

Lin Jianshen walked around the osmanthus tree, found a spot, and took a photo of the branches full of blooming yellow flowers.

“I’m just taking a picture of the tree.”
