Tang Xi felt water entering her mouth and she became suffocated to the point where she could not breathe. She tried to grasp at anything but failed. She was overwhelmed with fear… What should she do… what should she do…? She curled up and refused to see the water, dared not even open her eyes out of the fear that as soon as she did, she would return to that sea and be blown apart.

“No…” Tang Xi attempted to hold herself in her arms but could not. She slightly opened her eyes only to see that she was surrounded by a pool of water and could do nothing. She did her best to swim upward, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t swim ashore. Smiling feebly, she thought, “It won’t work… I’m already dead… How would it be possible for me to swim back?”

She relaxed her hands and closed her eyes, letting herself sink…

Everything had all been a dream. She was already dead—dead in the sea… This was a fact she could not ignore.

“Xiao Rou!” Suddenly, a cry came from the depths of her mind.

Tang Xi snapped open her eyes only to see a miniature man standing in front of her, who approached with measured steps and wearing a mocking smile, said, “You are so timid. How can you deserve my system? A coward who can’t even face her own death doesn’t deserve 008!”

Tang Xi shook her head and widened her eyes in an attempt to clearly see the man’s face. No, it was not true! She had already faced the fact that she was dead. Otherwise, she would not have acted as Xiao Rou like she had!

“No?” The man’s low laughter rang. “If you’ve faced it, why can’t you let it go?”

Tang Xi shook her head madly. It was not that she couldn’t let it go! She could! She just wanted to get her revenge!

“Can you avenge yourself now?” The man’s voice sounded mocking again.

Tang Xi froze suddenly. She was not able take revenge. She would even feel tired merely running a few steps. How could she have the ability to take revenge?! This was why she had to strengthen herself!

“What should I do?” Tang Xi finally calmed down. She opened her eyes and looked at the man, asking again, “What should I do?”

The man’s voice finally sounded a little happy. “Do you know who murdered you? I think you should check why you fell in the water today…”

Tang Xi suddenly felt a beam of light falling on her body and the next second, she was dragged up by something to her feet, following which she saw the densely-crowded butterflies surrounding the hot spring suddenly disperse like an exploding flower ball, looking incredibly beautiful…

She reached out her hand and a few butterflies landed on it, but Tang Xi was not at all in the mood to enjoy such a beautiful scene; there was only one thought in her mind. Just now, she hadn’t slipped by accident, but someone had arranged for it to happen on purpose… and because of her fear, she had thought she was back in the middle of the deep Pacific Ocean…

The people saw the butterflies disperse and Tang Xi standing in the middle of the hot spring, a few butterflies landing on her hand…

Qiao Liang stared at Tang Xi standing there and took a step forward, but Ning Yan immediately stopped him. “Don’t go forward. Let me finish this shot…” Intimidated by the butterflies, none of them walked into the hot spring and let the cameras take all the scenes instead, including the moment when Tang Xi fell down, when the butterflies surrounded the hot spring and then dispersed, and when Tang Xi reached out her hand to play with the butterflies… She looked so noble, mysterious and beautiful…

This was exactly the kind of feeling he had been looking to capture—the perfume helping to regain lost memories.

Mystery, fantasy and nobility.

Tang Xi’s hair was long, her face was covered in drops of water and her beautiful dress was wet, but none of these affected the special effects of the TV commercial. She opened one arm and showed half of her face to the camera, but just then, a butterfly landed on her hand and Ning Yan shouted, “Put the perfume in her hand!”

The assistants quickly found the perfume and put it in Tang Xi’s hand. Ning Yan finally finished the whole shoot and shouted “cut”.

It had taken less than 20 minutes to shoot the whole TV commercial. Although the finishing shots hadn’t followed the script, the whole shooting had gone without any NG.

Ning Yan was also very satisfied.

Hearing “cut”, Tang Xi came to her senses and looked at Qiao Liang, who appeared angry and was releasing a dangerous aura. She took careful steps out of the hot spring, stopped in front of him and said with a smile, “It was just artistic effects. Were you scared?”

Artistic effects? Qiao Liang sneered as he grabbed Tang Xi’s wrist and began walking outside. Where had those butterflies come from?! Did she really think he was a fool?

Letting Qiao Liang drag her out, Tang Xi looked back to Xiao Jing and mouthed some words to him. Seeing this, Xiao Jing who had been looking at them, frowned and turned to look at Ning Yan, who was asking Xiao Sa whether Xiao Rou had become Qiao Liang’s girlfriend, and said seriously, “My sister said there was glass in the water and her fall wasn’t accidental. Gather all the staffs together!”

Shocked, Ning Yan asked the staff to pack up the equipment and then walked to the hot spring, where he found traces of blood in the middle of the pool. Although the traces had faded somewhat, they were still visible. Ning Yan stepped into the pool to pick up the aforementioned piece of glass and shouted with a frown, “Get all the staff members responsible for the hot spring over here!”

He Wanning walked over with a dark face and said to Ning Yan, “Ning Yan, all the staff members here today were brought by you from Qingcheng Entertainment. You have to give me an explanation.”

Ning Yan looked at He Wanning with a frown and nodded. “You can rest assured that no one has ever dared to mess around on my set, but today Xiao Rou was injured under my eyes. I’ll surely investigate the matter and give you an explanation!”

Besides, Xiao Rou was very talented. If her potential were fully tapped, he was sure that she would win tons of acting awards in the next 30 years!

Five minutes later, all the staffs were gathered together. Ning Yan turned his eyes at them and a ferocious look crossed his handsome countenance as he raised the piece of glass in his hand, swept an icy gaze over the staff members and asked coldly, “Who put this in the hot spring? Tell me!”

The staff members exchanged looks, but no one came forward to confess.

Looking at their faces, Ning Yan frowned. “Do you think I won’t be able to find out if you don’t admit it?” His face became cold. “Who is responsible for checking the hot spring? Come out!”

Two female assistants and a male assistant stepped out, and Ning Yan coldly stared at them. “Did you really check the hot spring?”
