章 3: The Little Boy In The Bar

5 years later. In Eden Wine Bar, in a corridor on the top floor.

Ning Xi had accompanied the investors in drinking all night. She was experiencing a splitting headache. She was about to find a quiet place to sober up, she didn't expect Chang Li to follow her, and she could only prepare herself mentally to deal with her.

"Sister Chang, do you have something to say?"

"Ning Xi, let me ask you: did you apply to audition for the female lead in <The World>?"

"Yes, and what about it?"

You cannot go tomorrow!" Even though Chang Li was her manager, she was preventing her from auditioning for a role that all major entertainment companies are fighting for.

However, Ning Xi was unsurprised at her words and merely raised an eyebrow as she asked, "Reason?"

"First of all, you kept quiet about this and did not tell me, yet you still ask me for a reason? Not to mention, don't you know the company has already arranged for Ning Xueluo to audition for the role?"

"If I audition for the role, that doesn't clash with the company's arrangements." Ning Xi smiled at her. "Did Ning Xueluo ask you to speak to me about this? Could it be that she's afraid, that an unknown rookie like me might actually rob her of her role?"

"Rob her of her role? I'm afraid you're speaking of an impossible dream! Let me tell you now, don't waste your effort. The Ning family invested 30 million yuan into this drama. The role has been decided behind closed doors and will definitely go to Ning Xueluo!"

"Is that so? Then why do you need to be so nervous?"

"You're an artiste I'm managing! Naturally, you'll have to go along with the arrangements I've made for you!" Chang Li said as a matter of factly.

"Oh, so Sister Chang, you do know I am an artiste under you."

"Ning Xi, I don't have time to waste with you. Since you don't accept my kindness and want things the hard way, don't blame me for being merciless!"

As soon as she said the words, Ning Xi felt a force hit her, and caught off guard, she was pushed into the bar's storeroom, her cellphone also stolen away.

BANG! The door slammed shut.

The footsteps outside the door gradually became quieter as they went further away.

Ning Xi leaned against the door and slid down to sit on the floor without a word. It's because she knew, no matter how hard she screamed this time, it would fall on deaf ears.

When Ning Xi had just joined the company, Ning Xueluo still knew how to restrain herself, and she would at most get Chang Li to arrange some cameo for her to be a villain. However, she's been crossing the line even more lately, to the point that she was beginning to resort to underhanded tactics.

If she couldn't get the role she auditioned for this time, she definitely needed to find a way to leave Starlight Entertainment.

As she pondered this, she suddenly heard a small sound.

Don't tell me there's a rat?

Ning Xi glanced in the direction the sound had come from, and was shocked.

There was a little boy behind a stack of boxes.

The boy appeared to be around four to five years old, with features like finely carved jade. He was as white and soft as a small bun and was shivering while hiding in the corner, his black eyes full of wariness and alarm.

Huh, why is there a kid in this bar's storeroom?

There's no way some a customer could be so preposterous as to bring a child to a bar, right?

"Hey, Little Bun, who are you? How did you get in here?"

"Did you sneak in?"

"Could it be that someone locked you in here?"

"Do you eat candy?"

After asking for what felt like half a day, the child still did not speak, and his trembling only became worse, like frightened prey.

Ning Xi stopped talking.

Thus both of them, an adult and a child, each took a corner of their own as they continued to coexist idly.

At this time, the ceiling light started to flicker, and then went out.

In the darkness, Ning Xi could hear a chattering sound. After carefully analyzing the sound, she realized it was a noise made by the chattering of teeth.

Ning Xi couldn't help but laugh and faced the little bun. "Are you afraid of the dark?"

The chattering stopped for a second and then began even louder than before.

Oh, how could he be such a coward?

Ning Xi patted her butt as she got up, and walked towards the kid.


章 4: Saved A Little Bun

The little bun was so scared of Ning Xi, his entire face went pale with fright. He timidly shrunk himself into the corner.

Ning Xi looked at him with amusement. She sat right down beside the little bun did nothing but shut her eyes to sleep.

Meanwhile, she sat down next to the little bun and didn't do anything except close her eyes to sleep.

All night, Chang Li had dragged her around to drink with people; it would've been even more surprising if her head wasn't hurting.

After waking up from a short nap, Ning Xi felt that her leg was warm. She looked down to see the little bun clinging to her, clutching the hem of what she was wearing.

Ning Xi couldn't help but laugh.

When she had still been living in the countryside, she had raised a cat. It had been especially cowardly and was deeply afraid of people. The moment it saw anyone, the cat would run. However, if you didn't pay the cat any attention, it would slowly lower its guard after understanding you didn't mean it any harm, and the cat would then start to cling to you, and even climb onto your knee to sleep.

The little bun noticed her gaze and his small face went red with embarrassment, but he no longer showed any fear like before, and instead was filled with curiosity.

He really resembled that cat, so much so that even his facial expression was the same.

Ning Xi curled her lips and felt her hand itching until she couldn't restrain herself, and tousled the little boy's hair.

When she touched him, she frowned.

Why was his forehead so hot?

"Do you have a fever?"

At the very least, Chang Li was going to lock her up in here until the audition was over tomorrow, possibly even longer.

If this child were to continue burning with fever, it could prove to be quite fatal.

In her moment of panic, she realized something wasn't right. The light in the storeroom had obviously died earlier, so why was there still light inside this place?

Lifting her head, she realized there was a very small skylight overhead that was letting light in. Searching the storeroom, Ning Xi found a ladder, which she placed beneath the window.

"Little Bun, come here! I'll help you escape!"

The little guy showed a reaction for the first time. However, he had a determined look while he shook his little head.

Looking at him, Ning Xi understood what he meant, and smiled while pinching his cheeks.

"Why do you speak of loyalty? Do you want to stay and suffer with me? Go up, the window's too small for me, so I can't leave with you. But you can head out and find someone to come save me."

Seeing the kid's hesitation, Ning Xi picked him up directly and put him on the ladder.

"Quick, be a man. Don't waver. I'll be down here guarding you!"

After finally delivering the child safely outside, Ning Xi went down the ladder but started to feel dizzy. In that moment of sudden lightheadedness, she slipped and fell.

Outside the window, the little bun's originally expressionless face contorted in terror as he witnessed the scene.

Ning Xi forced a word out. "Leave…"

Under the starlight, her face was pale and fragile, but it did not overshadow her ethereal beauty. Her eyes, especially, held a sparkling and spirited elegance that mirrored an ocean brimming with a constellation of stars.

She was no longer the same country bumpkin and ugly duckling from the past.

However, what use was that?

Ning Xi smiled bitterly. She hadn't gotten her revenge yet, and here she was, about to die from a fall.

At least before dying, she had accomplished a good deed; she had saved the little bun.

Five years ago after that car accident, the Ning family, ashamed of her, had sent her to M country, to a miscellaneous university for profligate, second-generation rich kids. They had left her to fend for herself.

She had withdrawn from that school to apply for Nanjia University, where she went crazy learning whatever she could.

Because she wanted to tear down Ning Xueluo's arrogance and take back all that she had lost!

Most importantly, acting was her ultimate dream.

After returning to the country, she had used her looks and talent to gain Chang Li's attention. She then successfully entered one of the biggest entertainment companies, Starlight Entertainment.

Originally, the path under Starlight should have been vast with possibilities. But then Ning Xueluo also entered the company, and then bribed Chang Li to constantly suppress Ning Xi…

However, it was fine. She has already endured through so much suffering herself. What can the troubles she was facing now do to her?

The only pity was that, if her child had not died that year, he would probably have been the same age.
