She touched her own face once again and her cheeks were burning.

She spoke to Ru Yin regarding this issue.

Ru Yin placed her hand on Xiao Bai’s face, as though she was searching for a clue.

“Xiao Bai, do you like him?”

Xiao Bai could not grasp the meaning of her words. “What do you mean?”

“That’s an instinctive feeling men have toward women and vice versa. As long as you are a human, you will like someone. As long as you are a human, you can never be spared from this emotion.”

“But...” Xiao Bai thought to herself. But, I’m not a human. I’m only a fox.

“Xiao Bai definitely likes him,” Ru Yin repeated it firmly with her spiritless eyes as if she was determined to plant the idea in Xiao Bai’s mind.

Her statement acted as a constant reminder to Xiao Bai, deciding Xiao Bai’s feelings on her behalf.

Xiao Bai, you like him.

Subsequently, Xiao Bai was convinced. I like him, I like him, I definitely like him.

Her mixed feelings of being torn and confused were displayed evidently on her face. At this instant, her expression was a mixture of many emotions. Her gaze perfectly portrayed the sentiment of the character. None of the spectators wished to interrupt the scene, fearing that they would ruin the flawless scene.

Yan Huan, who had been holding her breath, finally heaved a sigh when Director Jin signaled a cut. She had almost thought that she was going to suffocate and die by holding her breath.

“Good job,” Director Jin praised Yan Huan. Indeed, Yan Huan was the right choice for this character. Her acting skill was astonishing. It was unbelievable how vividly she portrayed the character. As though he was watching and grooming a rising superstar, he was positive that she would achieve global exposure in the future.

She was like a spark. But, no one knew how fiercely she would glow in the future.

Of course, no one knew how far she could go. She had no final goal. She only had to avoid falling behind.

Director Jin did not know if she could persist and prosper. Only time would answer their questions.

At that time, the entire production team had already been there for about three months. June was around the corner, indicating that the day of nomination for the Golden Phoenix Awards was approaching.

Yanhuan had only filmed two series throughout the year, namely When The Song Ends and Zhu Xiaoye. Yanhuan was nominated for Best Supporting Actress Award for When The Song Ends and the Best Actress Award for Zhu Xiaoye.

Without a doubt, Su Muran was also on the list of nominees for the Best Actress Award, while Liang Chen was a nominee for the Best Supporting Actress Award and the Most Popular Local Actress Award. The names of the winners would be announced one month later.

Thus, Yan Huan had to speed up the progress of the movie within this month before she could shoot the outdoor scenes. Coincidentally, her shooting venue was close to the venue for the award ceremony, making things very convenient for her.

Little White Fox was very fond of the Prince. During her free time, she would tell Ru Yin about the stories she shared with the Prince. Ru Yin would laugh along but her soulless eyes showed almost no emotion all the while.

She was smiling but there was an indecipherable expression painted on her grinning lips. When the camera once again focused on Little White Fox, she was resting her chin on her hands. Her crystal clear eyes created a distinctive contrast compared to the spiritless eyes of Ru Yin. Her black and clear eyes were like crystals, glimmering like the tranquil moonlight.

“Xiao Bai, do you like me?” the Prince stared into Xiao Bai’s eyes as he parted his thin lips, flashing a charming smile. Xiao Bai felt a chill race down her spine as she gently massaged her arm. When she lifted her gaze to look at the Prince again, she saw a beautiful smile painted across the Prince’s face.

Xiao Bai nodded and said, “Yes, I do.” She raised her head and the Prince’s handsome features came into her sight. For a moment, her entire face was lit up in joy.

Prince stretched out his finger and then curled it as he gently stroked Xiao Bai’s face. Eventually, his fingers stopped at the corner of her eye.

“I like your eyes. Are you willing to give them to me?”

Xiao Bai felt as though she was hoodooed. Of course, she had assumed that the Prince was kidding.

“Sure,” she pointed at her eyes. “If you want them, I will give them to you.”

As soon as she finished speaking she felt a sudden pain in her eyes. As though the Prince accidentally pinched her eyes as he exerted some force. However, she did not dodge. At that instant, she felt a little sad, but her red lips soon curved upward again.

She was smiling once again.

The camera refocused when she regained her consciousness. Her four limbs were tied up.

For a long time, she struggled with strenuous effort, but to no avail.

The door creaked open.

Ru Yin entered the room with the help of Prince.

“Sister, Brother Qin Mo?” Xiao Bai stopped struggling when she saw them, “Is this a game? But, why did you have to tie me up?” she asked with a smile. Despite the cheerful facade, her eyes misted over in sorrow.

Ru Yin fumbled about and eventually rested her hand on the Little White Fox’s eyes.

“Xiao Bai, why are you crying?”

Xiao Bai bit her lips, causing her lips to hurt. But, her words died in her throat.

“Didn’t you promise Brother Qin Mo to give him your eyes? You should never break your promise,” Ru Yin was wearing her usual smile. The warm and gentle smile that was accompanied by a pair of dead eyes. All of a sudden, her fingers clutched on Little White Fox’s face forcefully.

Little White Fox’s colourless lips quivered inconspicuously.

“Sister Ru Yin. Honestly, do you want my eyes?”

Ru Yin’s fingers that were resting on Xiao Bai’s face trembled. She released her hand and gently stroked across Xiao Bai’s face. “I’ve never seen your face before. So, can you lend me your eyes?”

“Haha...” Xiao Bai laughed. Her vision was blurred. As a result, she could not see the two people clearly, but could only hear their voices.

Grandmother had taught Xiao Bai before, saying that human beings were the most difficult creatures to deal with. It was impossible to read the humans’ minds and their personalities were the worst.

She had also said that humans were all born with kindness but eventually died with cruelty.

She used to not believe it, but now she was convinced.

She blinked her eyes. Her eyes, that were always clear like crystal, were now bloodshot, no longer tranquil like before. The only thing that was reflected in her eyes were the image of Ru Yin and Prince. Ru Yin’s face appeared relaxed while Prince was staring at Ru Yin. Instinctively, he smiled. The grin was so beautiful and genuine.

In fact, Xiao Bai had foreseen this. She knew that the Prince did not like her. Instead, he liked Ru Yin. But, she was puzzled, not understanding why Ru Yin wanted to make her fall for the Prince. Besides, why did the Prince always come to her if he only fancied Ru Yin?

She had always wanted to find out the truth. Little did she know that the truth came together with an event like this.
