149: Stand-in Dancer


A fight between a mother and a daughter, a fight over a role.

This was not the first time, but most probably, this would be the last.


"Village Chief," Ning Ning asked the village chief afterwards, "what kind of role is the owner?"

Mama looked self-assured, she probably knew how to perform the role. She didn't know what she was supposed to act as, she could only ask people who did know.

"Didn't I tell you before?" The village chief said amiably, "All you have to do is to sit and watch, you don't have to do anything else."

"...I understand, thank you."

That was his personal opinion. The best owner in his mind was a dummy who didn't move at all.


Ning Ning asked the others next. She asked everyone who could possibly know the answer. In the end, everyone gave her different answers. One said to be serious and stoic, another said to smile like a flower, another one said to act superior to mortals and hard to approach.

Suddenly, a familiar voice asked her, "Why don't you ask me?"

Ning Ning looked back and saw Pei Xuan standing behind her.

"Didn't you just return to the village?" Ning Ning smiled at him. "You're like me, a person who doesn't know anything."

"No, I do know." Pei Xuan suddenly walked forward, it forced Ning Ning into an alley behind her.


Ning Ning was only backing off by reflex. When she realised that she had retreated into an alley, she immediately shuddered. She wanted to walk forward but the tall Pei Xuan had blocked the entrance so she could not get out. She turned around and started to run. Who knew that just when she had taken two steps, a voice rang out behind her, "...The title of this film is <<A Chinese (Boy) Ghost Story>>."

Ning Ning stopped in her tracks.

She slowly looked back. She saw "Pei Xuan" abruptly crack a smile out of relief and said, "I am Wen Yu."


Half an hour later, at a field near the village.

Canola flowers bloomed across the mountains and plains, gold spreading out from beneath their feet out in all directions. With a gust of the wind, golden waves rolled across the mountains and plains. Amidst the wave sat a teenager, there was an easel in front of the teenager, they held a brush, painting a sea of gold on their canvas.

Ning Ning and Pei Xuan strolled by the fields of canola flowers.

"I arrived a month ago, I became like this the moment I arrived." Wen Yu sighed, he touched his face and said depressingly, "Will I be able to turn back?"

...Looking at his decadent and dispirited look, Ning Ning reckoned that Pei Xuan might not have any white hair, it was just that they had grown in this month from Wen Yu worrying too much.


"Of course you will." Ning Ning told him about Life Theater, along with a simple explanation of their current situation. She concluded at last, "When this movie ends, we will be able to go back."

"When will this movie end?" Wen Yu looked at her full of expectations. To him, Pei Xuan was a pest equivalent to a rat or a cockroach, no one would be willing to transmigrate as a pest, right?
