After Pei Ning saw Ye Sui participate in ” The Actor”, the response was so good that many people changed their minds about Ye Sui.

Pei Ning sneered. No matter how good Ye Sui was, could she compare to her? As an international film empress, she couldn’t be bothered with this little actress.

Pei Ning forgot that although she was an international film empress, the award she won was not from the three major film festivals. She was not even close to being an influential person.

But compared with Ye Sui, it was enough.

Therefore, when the “The Actor” program team contacted her, Pei Ning immediately agreed and decided to become a special guest. The news was officially announced by the team.

Both of them had a lot of followers; therefore, netizens flocked to comment.

“It’s not surprising that Ye Sui won against Zhuang Jin, but compared with Pei Nian, an international film empress, Ye Sui is still a long way off.” 

It seems that Pei Ning is going to oppress Ye Sui. Ye Sui’s acting skills are not enough before her.”

“Poor Ye Sui, it was so hard to prove her acting skills. Now she is going to be abused again. Three minutes’ silence for her.”

Between Ye Sui and Pei Ning, who would triumph? There was no doubt that everyone thought Pei Ning would win.

One had debuted for many years and won international awards, while the other had just started acting. Everyone determined that Ye Sui was to lose.

With all kinds of expectations, “The Actor” began to broadcast.

Cen Yu announced the content of this time, “Ye Sui and Pei Ning are going to perform the scene. Contestants, please look at the screen.”

Ye Sui and Pei Ning followed his instructions. A clip from a popular TV series was playing on the screen.

The content was a conversation between the queen and a beloved concubine. The queen was not favored, and the beloved concubine was provoking her.

“This TV series was famous once. Now Ye Sui and Pei Ning will reproduce the scene. Like everyone else, I am looking forward to their performances,” Cen Yu said.

Cen Yu let Ye Sui and Pei Ning draw lots to decide who would play which role.

Pei Ning went first. She already had a role in mind that she wanted to play and had been secretly looking forward to when she drew the note. She breathed a sigh of relief after she opened the slip of paper.

What she wanted to portray was the beloved concubine character. The role would require full emotions and an arrogant personality, which was easy to impress everyone. The queen was restrained in emotions, and if she didn’t play well, she would have no camera eye points.

Pei Ning glanced at Ye Sui somewhat happily. She would like to see how Ye Sui would portray this dull character.

Ye Sui didn’t care about her role. As long as she could figure out her character, she would know how to portray and let everyone remember it.

Cen Yu asked the duo to go down to prepare; they would play an advertisement first. The bullet screen was swarmed with comments.

“Pei Ning’s role is better at first glance. Ye Sui is at a disadvantage. I don’t think I’ll recognize the character when she’s done.”

“Ye Sui will lose this and directly compare with the previous scene. I feel like Ye Sui’s going to get abused.”

“Am I crazy? I’m kind of looking forward to Cen Yu joining the show. I’d like to see these people play together.”

After a while, Cen Yu came to power again. “Just now, Director Zu read the barrage on the Internet, where netizens strongly asked me to play the role of emperor.”

Cen Yu deliberately showed a helpless expression. “I just want to enjoy the performance. I didn’t expect everyone to have ideas on me again.

“However, I can not refuse your enthusiasm. I will adjust my lines at any time according to their performance.”

As soon as Cen Yu finished speaking, the fans screamed. “Our idol has a good temper! We really want to watch them acting.”

Ye Sui and Pei Ning were going to start acting. The two of them changed their clothes and walked onto the stage. The audience also quietened down.

Pei Ning played the beloved concubine’s character. When she saw the queen, she did not pay tribute to her. Instead, she said provocatively, “Looking at this cold palace, it seems the Queen is really not favored.”

Ye Sui did not look at Pei Ning, holding a pair of embroidery in her hand. “If the noble concubine has nothing to do, you can go back.”

Pei Ning suddenly took over the embroidery in Ye Sui’s hands. Her fingernails were painted bright red, and her hand caressed the embroidery. She giggled and said, “What a beautiful piece of embroidery.”

Pei Ning glanced at Ye Sui, and the corner of her mouth curled with a mocking arc. “Unfortunately, no matter how beautiful things are, they are destined to wither. The Emperor does not want to come here at all.”

Ye Sui fiercely glared at her. Just now, Pei Ning had snatched the embroidery from her hand. This scene has never been seen in the original play.

Pei Ning said her lines first, so she had already gained the advantage. She took the embroidery, grabbing the limelight. Everyone would now pay attention to her.

Ye Sui matched Pei Ning’s eyes directly. Pei Ning looked at Ye Sui and suddenly smiled.

She let go of the embroidery in her hand, dropping it to the ground. She stared at Ye Sui as she stepped on it gently.

Pei Ning’s lips slightly parted. “Do you think that if you don’t contend or fight for the Emperor’s favor, you will be pitied by the Emperor? You are just like this embroidery; even if you rot in a palace, no one cares.”

Ye Sui’s eyes were a little cold. Pei Ning’s actions and lines just now were also new to her, so she couldn’t avoid them at all.

Since this was a performance contest, acting was the king, even though Pei Ning had added a scene in the plot without permission. If she did not follow this line, others would say that she was inferior, and there was no one else to blame but herself.

Ye Sui sneered; Pei Ning was really good at calculating. Since she changed the plot, she would also roll with the punches. She would make it even more surprising for everyone.

Ye Sui suddenly stood up, but she didn’t look at Pei Ning, however. She first raised her hand and gently touched her skirt. Her movements were not urgent or slow, but she was very elegant.

Although Ye Sui did not speak, her expressions and movements made the audience realize that the character seemed a bit different.

Ye Sui stood up and slowly walked towards Pei Ning. She then whispered, “Concubine De, I am still the Queen. Even if I lose the Emperor’s favor, I am still the noble Queen.”

Her expression was indifferent—rather, arrogant. “You said I would not contend or fight for the favor. You are right, heh.”

“My father and brother are important ministers of the court. As long as I want something, it will appear in my palace the next day. Do I need to argue with you?”

Pei Ning looked at Ye Sui with dazed eyes. She felt that Ye Sui was strange and frightening at the same time.

Ye Sui smiled and said, “I was destined to be a Queen when I was born. What you have always fancied, I have it at my fingertips. Do I need to fight with you?”

Pei Ning was stunned. She had wanted to change her lines to give Ye Sui a blow and make a fool of herself for not being able to answer. But who knew that Ye Sui would react so quickly?

At this time, Ye Sui had walked to Pei Ning’s side. She stuck to Pei Ning’s ear and coldly spat out a sentence, “Concubine De, you were not worthy of being my opponent from the beginning.”

Ye Sui’s voice was not heavy, more like a whisper, but it was full of warning and disdain.

Ye Sui: “If I wanted to compete for his favor, do you think you would still be sitting in this position?”

Ye Sui enunciated every word, and Pei Ning didn’t know how to make a retort. She wanted to set the stage for Ye Sui, but she was trapped in it and didn’t know what to do.

Pei Ning did not speak, making it awkward. At this time, Cen Yu entered the scene.

Pei Ning looked back, pleasantly surprised. Cen Yu’s attitude was very important. As long as he helped her speak, she would have a chance to win over Ye Sui.

Cen Yu had witnessed Pei Ning’s earlier behavior. She had added lines to win, and even he didn’t like it. Besides, between Ye Sui and Pei, he could discern who had better skills.

He looked at Pei Ning and said coldly, “Concubine, go back.”

Hearing this, Pei Ning was somewhat in disbelief as she froze on the spot. ‘What?’

Cen Yu frowned. He ordered in an indifferent tone, “I will not repeat myself.”

At this moment, Ye Sui suddenly spoke up, “Your Majesty, my embroidery got dirty.”

Ye Sui’s eyes looked wicked. She stared at Cen Yu and repeated slowly, “Your Majesty, my embroidery is dirty.”

After watching Ye Sui for a few seconds, he turned his head and said coldly, “Concubine De is forbidden to go out for a month. She will embroider 20 pairs of embroidery with her own hands to compensate the Queen.”

Pei Ning knew that Cen Yu would perform randomly based on the performance of the two of them. Since Cen Yu said this, it meant that he was on Ye Sui’s side, and he even recognized her performance.

No, she could not be led like this; otherwise, she would lose.

Pei Ning wanted to resist. “Emperor…”

Cen Yu glanced at Pei Ning. He didn’t speak, but his eyes voiced his thoughts, with a raging chill.

Pei Ning had to give up as she gritted her teeth and said, “This concubine will obey the Emperor’s order.”

The scene was over. The audience was calm at first, and then thunderous applause broke out, followed by an intense discussion on the bullet screen.

“Why didn’t Pei Ning play according to the original plot? Did she have other thoughts? The problem is that even if changed, the lines are not as good as Ye Sui’s.”

“Ye Sui’s lines are really overbearing. They brought the weak queen to life, which is an eye-opener.”

“Although Cen Yu only spoke a few words, he is too handsome and clearly expressed his role!”

Pei Ning’s face was pale, her hand clenched into a fist. Noticing Pei Ning’s stare, she looked at her and showed a smile.

Pei Ning suddenly felt as if her heart was blocked.

In the end, Cen Yu announced the results: Ye Sui had won. Pei Ning closed her eyes in despair. She had lost to Ye Sui, a new actress, and felt humiliated.

Pei Ning intended to embarrass and let Ye Sui lose face through this program. She calculated so much, revised the lines, and changed the plot, yet she eventually lost to Ye Sui.

She got more than she bargained for. Netizens labeled her as the most sinister in history. It was said that Pei Ning’s scheme was too much, and she had an attitude with a bad temper.

On the other hand, Ye Sui’s performance, from bland and demure to stern and fierce, completely brought the queen’s role to life. The audience believed Ye Sui had superb acting skills and excellent improvisation ability.

Ye Sui also gained some followers from Pei Ning. They all went to see Pei Ning’s performance but turned to Ye Sui in the end. Such a nice-looking star with excellent acting skills, who wouldn’t idolize her?

Ye Sui’s participation in the competition came to an end. Everyone began to pay attention to another thing.

Ye Sui had encountered a young ghost in the backroom while participating in “The Actor”. She helped everyone turn off the radio with a strange sound, and the story quickly spread.

Netizens wanted to know why supernatural phenomena always appeared in Ye Sui’s programs. At first, the ingredients disappeared inexplicably, and then, there was a ghost under the tree where she filmed.

Recently, Ye Sui participated in “The Actor” and also heard scrapped radio singing. It seemed that no matter where she went, haunted things would happen.

Some netizens even suggested that Ye Sui should participate in some fantasy projects. They wanted to see what she would do.

<Crown Prince> was nominated for the TV Festival, but Ye Sui was only invited as a guest. Although she was shortlisted for the Best Supporting Actress award, probably because the audience’s goodwill was not enough, she did not win the prize.

At the end of the show, Ye Sui encountered a scene backstage.

There were two people standing on the empty corridor, vague voices sounding. Pei Ning held Qi Xian while talking to him.

But Qi Xian didn’t pay any attention to Pei Ning. He was usually a cheerful person, but this time, he was quite silent. Pei Ning’s pestering skills were first-class, so he couldn’t find a chance to leave.

From the corner of his eyes, Qi Xian saw someone passing by in the corridor. The dress was quite familiar, and it seemed to be Ye Sui.

He lowered his head, clicked on WeChat, and sent a message to Ye Sui: “Save me.”

He moved too quickly; Pei Ning failed to see who he was sending a message to. When Ye Sui received Qian Xian’s cry for help, she turned around and disappeared at the end of the corridor.

After a while, Qi Xian’s cell phone suddenly rang, and he immediately picked up the phone. It was Ye Sui’s voice. “Qi Xian, Sister Ren asked you to find her quickly.”

Qi Xian didn’t know who Sister Ren was, but she sounded like an agent. ‘Who cares, say yes first.’

“What?” Qi Xian raised his voice, “You said my agent was anxious to find me? He’s waiting for me at the door, right?”

Two people talked completely off the point.

Qi Xian put away the mobile phone, did not explain it to Pei Ning, turned around, and left. Pei Ning was left alone, her face pale and white.

At the corner, Qi Xian met Ye Sui, and he waved his hand. “Thank you.”

Ye Sui had a strong desire to survive. “I didn’t see anything just now.” The international film queen and popular singer, ex-girlfriend, and ex-boyfriend, she won’t disclose these exciting things to the paparazzi.

Immersed in the entanglement of feelings, he still didn’t forget to ask about Ye Sui, “How is your assistant?”

“What assistant?” Ye Sui didn’t react for a while, letting the cat out of the bag. A moment later, she remembered that when helping Qi Xian communicate with his father that day, she had taken Chen Shu and said he was her assistant.

Qi Xian’s expression was ambiguous, and he slowly lengthened the end, “Oh, not an assistant.”

Ye Sui was speechless at the moment. Qi Xian’s method was really impressive, catching her off guard.

Qi Xian smiled and asked, “Do you like him?”

Ye Sui was shocked, not knowing how to answer. She stuttered and said, “I… I…”

Realization suddenly dawned on him, and he quickly added, “So you like him.”

“Look, you two have been together for so long, you must take the initiative.” Qi Xian, who had only been in love once, turned into a relationship expert in a blink of an eye, as if he was not the one who was entangled and couldn’t get away.

Ye Sui felt aggrieved. She took the initiative, but every time, something terrible happened.

She usually did not confide in others, but now that someone was willing to help her, she looked around and whispered, “How to take the initiative?”

“It’s absolutely fine for women to chase the man they fancy.” Qi Xian said, “No matter where he goes, you have to get close to him, appear in places where he can see you, and chase him until he likes you.”

Ye Sui: “…”

‘Qi Xian, have you tried these methods yourself!?’

Ye Sui pursed her lips. “Since it is so useful, try it yourself.”

When Ye Sui went home, she received a WeChat message from Qi Xian, which was a link: “The most suitable place for couples to travel.”

From unpopular attractions in the country to visa-free countries abroad, there were various sacred places of confession.

It was attached with an emoji of “Come on!”

The fact that Qi Xian had sent this emoji was something that Ye Sui wouldn’t bother with. He usually seemed reckless, but this idea was pretty reliable.

Previously, she had never communicated with Chen Shu and had never been on a honeymoon after marriage. Dali didn’t count either. Which day should I choose to confess?

Ye Sui opened the calendar in her cell phone, thinking while staring. She looked at the dates and suddenly remembered that Chen Shu’s 30th birthday was coming.

It was best to surprise him on his birthday.

Thirty? Ye Sui felt as if she had forgotten something, but she couldn’t place her finger on it.

Back at home, Ye Sui still didn’t find the answer from memory. She opened the door and saw Chen Shu sitting on the sofa, so she put her thoughts behind.

Ye Sui changed her slippers and ran over to him. She squatted down and looked up at Chen Shu’s face.

Chen Shu lowered his head just in time to catch a glimpse of Ye Sui’s lips. He was startled for a few seconds, and his Adam’s apple rolled. Immediately, his gaze moved up to her eyes.

Ye Sui’s eyes curved up, and the smile on her lips turned deeper. “Let’s go traveling at the end of the month.”

Chen Shu’s eyelids jumped and stared at Ye Sui. Her eyes were clear and as bright as the moon.

Travel again?

Chen Shu suddenly remembered his regret at Dali. They were unhappy and had to hurry back. This trip must be different from before

He agreed, went back to his room, and fell asleep.

The night was getting deeper, and there was light rain outside the window. Chen Shu and Ye Sui were lying on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.

The rain became torrential and never stopped, like a cold curtain in the sky. The sound of rain pounding against the window frame sounded crisp and clear, like two people’s messed up heartbeats.

Chen Shu and Ye Sui planned a romantic confession in their hearts at the same time.

They had no idea that their separate confessions would match each other.
