Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Xia Ling walked slowly along the corridor, her mind still thinking about Xia Yu. It was strange. Where exactly did her sister come from? That year when she vanished, Xia Ling tried to look for her to avenge Shaohui but she disappeared without a trace.
It was really strange.
“Miss Ling.”
“Miss Ling.”
Along the way, many staff members saw her and bowed to greet her.
Deep in thought, she passed through the rows of people. Suddenly, she paused in her footsteps. She turned around and walked to Skyart Entertainment through the 22nd story link bridge. This link bridge was built this year. It spanned the entire road, connecting her office to Li Lei’s office across the street.
She entered Li Lei’s office through a specially designed door.
Li Lei was currently dealing with business. A subordinate was sitting opposite him and the two of them were discussing about something.
When he saw Xia Ling walk in, he waved his hand to signal to the subordinate to leave. Looking at her, he smiled. “You’re here.” He opened his arms and wanted her to hug him.
Xia Ling was not in the mood and ignored his arms. She slouched on the sofa next to the floor-to-ceiling windows. Her white fingers unconsciously fiddled with the tassels of the pillows. She said dryly, “Guess who looked for me.”
“Who?” Li Lei was curious. “Did that person make you unhappy? I’ll help you beat him up.”
“Xia Yu.”
“Xia… Xia Yu?!” This time, Li Lei was shocked. “You mean your sister in your past life that has been missing for a few years? Why did she suddenly show up?”
“How would I know?” Xia Ling was still in a sullen mood. She rested her head on her knees. “When she appeared, she acted really strangely. She admitted her mistakes and asked me to forgive her. She said that she also wanted to acknowledge her roots and ancestors and return to the Xia Family.”
Li Lei asked, “Does she know that you don’t have the same parents? Your father is the head of the family while her father is probably a very unknown and distant relative.”
“She doesn’t know.” Xia Ling said.
Li Lei said, “Maybe after seeing that the family you returned to is so influential and you gained so benefits, she became jealous.”
Xia Ling said, “It’s also possible that she really misses her parents.” After that, she smiled bitterly and shook her head. “However, that’s hard to say. How could a person like her who doesn’t have a conscience miss their family?”
Li Lei asked her about what happened when they met. After that, he called his subordinates and asked them to investigate why Xia Yu went missing for years. They had to proceed carefully. He had to know about the people who appeared in front of Xia Ling very well.
His subordinates went to perform their task. Li Lei said to Xia Ling, “Be alert and don’t interact with her.”
Xia Ling smiled and said gently, “I understand.”
It felt good to be cared for by him. Soon, her low mood slowly vanished.
Outside the door, someone rang the doorbell.
“Come in.” Li Lei said.
A secretary walked in and slightly bowed. “Boss, General Manager Tan wants me to ask if you have any opinion regarding the ‘Star’s Return Plan’ training camp.”
Just now before Xia Ling appeared, Li Lei was discussing this matter with someone.
He turned to look at Xia Ling and smiled. “You came just in time. I have a matter to discuss with you. The Skyart Entertainment training camp is creating a ‘Star’s Return Plan.’ To put it bluntly, it’s for predecessors to return to the training camp to share their experience and give some lessons to the younger generation of trainees. Xiao Ling, are you interested?”
Xia Ling slightly tilted her head. “Return to the training camp?”
Honestly, her skills were not polished by Skyart Entertainment. However, she did start from there in this life. No matter what, she should go back to the training camp to give a lecture.
“Ok.” She agreed softly. “I really miss those days.”
Li Lei knew that she would agree and smiled. “I will go there with you.”
In this world, there were hundreds of thousands of people who wanted to become famous celebrities. However, only very few people could do it. This was a difficult and narrow road. The achievement of a general cost many lives. Compared to the number of famous people, many more were eliminated in this industry. Thus, famous celebrities who could return to their alma mater went back with high honors.
The school chose a day with excellent weather and stuck posters of her all over the school. Her songs filled the air. The sky was clear and the greenery was lush.
Xia Ling went back with Li Lei.
She strolled in the training camp. The surroundings were fragrant and the lake shimmered.
She pointed to Li Lei and said, “Do you see the grass over there? Sometimes I would practice dancing there. There is a big stone over there that faces the lake which is a good place to sing in the morning. Ah, those vines. Did you know that when I was on duty, I watered them? It was my first time doing chores after I left the orphanage. I had already forgotten how to do them. At the start, I was very clumsy and was scolded by the group leader many times… There’s also that small road and that building…”
She pointed at everything and told him about her past.
Li Lei’s lips slightly curved as he listened to her talk cheerfully.
In reality, everything she did in the training camp was already reported to him by Tan Ying without missing any detail. However, it was one thing to look at the cold report and listen to her talk about it personally. That radiant smile and lively expression drew people in and unknowingly, it was as if they returned to the past with her.
Nearby, a few trainees passed by but were ordered not to disturb the two of them. They only looked at them from a distance, whispered excitedly and left.
Xia Ling interlaced her fingers with Li Lei’s hand and pointed to another building with her other hand. “Look, that was my dormitory over there. Do you see that balcony? In the past, I used to go there to answer your call in the middle of the night. I caught a cold and the next day, Sister Mai Na scolded me.” Thinking of the past, she smiled.
Li Lei looked at her lovingly and acknowledged her in a magnetic voice.
She leaned her head on his shoulders. “It’s great to be back. At that time it seemed so difficult, but now I really miss it. Li Lei, without this training camp, do you think we would still be together?”
Li Lei naturally wrapped his hands around her waist. “We’d still be like this.”
His voice was assertive.
“Hmm?” She looked up at him.
Li Lei kissed her cheek and said, “No matter where you are or how you look like, we will always be together. I am your parasol tree and you are my phoenix. This is a match made in heaven.”
She was startled and her expression softened.
That’s right. He is my parasol tree and I am his phoenix. Forever and always. This will never change.
They walked side by side into the training hall. On a dance room on the second floor, there were several young girls in white dance costumes practicing hard.
Xia Ling stood outside the door and did not disturb them. She whispered to Li Lei, “It was here. In the corner, when I opened my eyes, I realized that I had turned into Ye Xingling…”
