Chapter 896: Waiting for A New Day, Or Death (3)

Li Beinian had been with the production crew on location for half a month now. Although they would send text messages to each other every day, they hadn’t seen each other in-person.
Mu Xichen had never liked to send voice messages, so receiving one from him completely melted her heart.
She couldn’t help replaying it.
“Wifey, are you asleep?”
Li Beinian immediately made a video call to him.
Mu Xichen picked it up immediately. As soon as the line connected, his face appeared.
He was in his pajamas and looked very energetic.
His short mop of hair looked damp, it was obvious that he had just taken a shower.
The moment Li Beinian saw his face, the unhappiness she was feeling vanished.
“Have you just taken your shower?” Li Beinian walked into the washroom and turned on the tap. She dipped her hands in the water and patted her face.
“Yes.” Mu Xichen leaned against the headboard lazily. “Did you have a nightmare?”
Li Beinian was taken aback and looked towards the phone in surprise. “How did you know?”
“Hmmm.” Mu Xichen seemed to ponder for a moment. Then, he said in all seriousness, “I just dreamed of my baby having a nightmare, so I quickly decided to check on you.”
Li Beinian couldn’t help laughing. Feeling the sweetness of being doted on, she responded, “Yes, that’s really clever of you.”
“Let me guess, what did you dream of?” Mu Xichen looked at Li Beinian with his beautiful phoenix eyes. He smiled faintly and continued, “Did you dream of someone you hate?”
“Eh?” Li Beinian shook the water off her hands and looked at him in even greater surprise. “How did you know?”
“Just guessing.”
“Good guess.” Li Beinian wiped her face clean.
Mu Xichen looked at her and quickly changed the topic.
The couple chatted a reasonable length of time with each other.
They talked about casual things as any couple would.
And although such interactions may be deemed ordinary or even boring, they were conversations that could wash away all their fatigue at the end of a day.
As they chatted, Li Beinian fell asleep again.
Mu Xichen listened to her steady breathing and smiled. He listened quietly for a long time and closed his eyes with her.
When she woke up, Li Beinian found herself in a better state of mind than yesterday.
Today, they were filming a critical scene in “Stinging Vine”. Coincidentally, it was Li Beinian’s most difficult scene in this movie.
Because there was a fighting scene.
The supporting female lead, Jia Xiaoqing, was the younger sister of the female lead. She had been rebellious from a young age, and had always wanted others to look up to her. Jia Xiaoqing was actually a proud character with an inferiority complex.
The feeling of inferiority came from being the less noticeable part of a pair of sisters of the Jia family growing up together. Whenever people mentioned the Jia family, everyone would only think of Jia Shengnan.
They would remark, “That daughter of the Jia family is not bad. She’s good in her studies and pretty too. When she grows up, she will definitely inherit the Jia family’s legacy and become an outstanding police officer.”
However, when it came to Jia Xiaoqing, everyone would look confused for a moment. Then, they would smile apologetically and say, “Xiaoqing is pretty good too.” And that would be all.
The scene that they were shooting today depicted Jia Xiaoqing, who had always idolized her sister, discovering that Jia Shengnan had dealings with a drug trafficking organization. In a fit of anger, she went to look for Jia Shengnan to reason with her.
