Chapter 301: Chapter 301 - Lifesaving Dream
“Why are you looking at me like that?” Yun Xiangxiang turned around and met Song Qian’s strange gaze .
“I’m curious . Don’t you have a goal for yourself?” Song Qian asked .
“What kind of goal?” Yun Xiangxiang was puzzled .
“A height in your life . How far do you want to go?” Song Qian continued .
Yun Xiangxiang mulled it over . “I used to have none . I wanted to do what I love, have fun the way I wanted . Basically just living a quiet life . But I love being an actress . So living a quiet life is not in the cards . ”
She wanted to have better resources, come across better scripts, and play as characters she loved or found challenging .
If she wanted those to happen, Yun Xiangxiang could never be an ordinary actress . She didn’t have the dream of being a superstar, or to stand at the top of the mountain of stars .
But she wanted to stay competitive . She wanted to have the right to compete for the chance to play as a significant character .
But that was then . She had changed . Now her fire of ambition was lit, and it was all thanks to love .
She had a dazzling boyfriend . If she wanted to be worthy of him, she had to be dazzling herself .
This was the first time Song Qian saw a fire being lit in Yun Xiangxiang’s eyes . She saw Yun Xiangxiang’s fighting spirit getting fired up .
“Not every excellent individual can get to where they want even after they have worked hard for it . ”
Song Qian wasn’t trying to douse Yun Xiangxiang’s fighting spirit . Too many excellent individuals worked hard only to fail in the end . All because they were not lucky .
Many of them became sickeningly obsessed with something . Some blamed the world for everything that had happened to them . Some even became psychopaths .
Many criminals were geniuses . But they did not start evil . Many of them were crushed by the gap between their dreams and reality .
“I know that . I never really expect to get everything I want just because I worked for it . ”
Yun Xiangxiang had a healthy way of thinking . “Having a goal is just a reason for working hard . I know working hard alone might not get me there, but at least it can get me closer to my goal . That’s still a win for me . ”
“But you might also be just one step away from success when you lose everything . Wouldn’t that upset you?” Song Qian probed .
“I’ll be lying if I say I wouldn’t . But if I fail even if after that I did my best, then that means luck was not on my side . Obsessing over it would only make me unhappier . It brings nothing to me .
Yun Xiangxiang was no saint . If she missed her goal by millimeters after putting in her all, she would, of course, be disappointed .
But she knew how to get out of the sadness . The things she had lost would never be hers . She would be better off drawing up her next goal, aiming for the future .
Life is a wonderful journey . Missing one didn’t mean she had to live life with sorrow . She had more things to discover . Maybe the next one would be better .
“If there is a way for you to get whatever you want without doing that much work, why would you want to work hard?”
That was the point of Song Qian’s questions . Yun Xiangxiang understood it .
Yun Xiangxiang pursed her lips and smiled . “Sister Qianqian, humans are bizarre creatures . They won’t treasure things they can easily get . ”
Nothing would make a human treasure what they had more aside from hard work, whether it be riches, fame, power, or even love .
“You only work hard just to cherish the things you have more?” Song Qian didn’t think so .
“That is part of the reason . Another part is related to my pride and dignity . ” Yun Xiangxiang was honest . “I date Song Mian for the person himself . Not the power he has . If I use him to get what I want easily, I’ll come to despise myself eventually .
Whenever Song Mian would give her help, he did so without interfering with her work .
If a day would come where everything she had didn’t belong to herself; if everything she had was due to Song Mian’s interference, she would feel suffocated .
Her life would lose all meaning .
She loved Song Mian . If he were in any danger, she would give everything to save him, even if it meant her life .
But she refused to be nothing more than Song Mian’s vase . She couldn’t accept simply being known as “Song Mian’s wife . ”
She was willing to be his wife, but she wanted people to still recognize her as the famous actress Yun Xiangxiang even after they knew her as his wife .
She could be a part of Song Mian’s family, but she had to have her own identity .
Yun Xiangxiang might be a woman who was too headstrong for some people .
“I understand,” Song Qian finally knew why Yun Xiangxiang did this .
The pair didn’t speak after that . They went into the arranged hotel once they arrived at their destination . He Wei went to talk about SL’s endorsement for her . He didn’t follow them here .
Yun Xiangxiang brought her makeup artist – Zhou Jie, Song Qian, and Ai Li with her . She had two rooms for her and her team .
Yun Xiangxiang would be sharing a room with Song Qian . Zhou Jie would share one with Ai Li .
Yun Xiangxiang had a dream that night . It was rare . She seldom had dreams . She was in the same room in that dream, but it was morning . She had to use the bathroom, but she saw a gigantic snake lying in there when she lifted the toilet bowl’s lid . The sight shocked her awake .
It wasn’t even dawn when she woke up . Song Qian was alerted . She turned on the bedside lamp . “What’s wrong?” Song Qian asked .
“I had a nightmare . A venomous snake is lying in the toilet bowl in the dream,” Yun Xiangxiang wiped the sweat off her forehead .
“It’s fine . It’s just a dream . Let’s go to the washroom and take a look . Or else you’re going to be traumatized,” Song Qian slipped into her slippers and went to the washroom .
Yun Xiangxiang called her, “It’s fine . It’s not my first time having a nightmare . ”
“That dream of yours was too realistic . You’ll never find peace if you don’t check it out,” Song Qian insisted .
She knew Yun Xiangxiang could adapt quickly, but Song Qian came across something similar to what Yun Xiangxiang was facing now . Her comrade was traumatized and lost her life in a mission due to the fear of her dream .
Yun Xiangxiang disliked using any hotel’s toilet bowl . She would go to the public washroom in the center of the story . The washroom there didn’t have any toilet bowls .
She didn’t use this room’s bathroom for anything else except bathing .
Yun Xiangxiang couldn’t stop Song Qian, so she followed Song Qian to the washroom . When Song Qian was about to touch the bowl’s lid, Yun Xiangxiang palpitated . She grabbed Song Qian’s arm .
“Qianqian, I’m panicking for no reason,” Yun Xiangxiang reflexively stopped Song Qian .
Song Qian was amused seeing Yun Xiangxiang being ashen . “Why don’t you go out and come back in after I’ve opened the lid?”
“No, it’s not that, Qianqian . Don’t open that lid . I have never been this panicked for no reason before . ”
Scared by her dream, Yun Xiangxiang felt a chill run down her spine . Her heart pounded .
The sound of something banging against the lid could be heard . It was a faint sound, but they heard it nonetheless .
Song Qian quickly took something to press down on the lid before taking Yun Xiangxiang and leaving the washroom .
