I Become a Big Shot in Showbiz

Chapter 142: Chapter 142: Want to see her?

“An’an, thank you for coming back to see me off on this journey. If there is a next life, I wish to grow old with you.”

Although it was just acting, when Mu Lingyun heard these words, she couldn’t help but remember her time in Another World, where she had completed the tasks of the Empress and had desperately sought him for ten years.

And when she could no longer endure, the system required her to leave. Just like the script described, she felt reluctant, unwilling, powerless.

If there were a way to die with one’s eyes open, perhaps it would be from not seeing the one she longed for before passing away.

She suddenly recalled that not long ago, Ji Luochen had asked her why she did not meet him even though she knew he was searching for her until her death.

Was he referring to the events that occurred in Another World at that time?

Did he also wish to see her before he died?

He too had searched desperately for her but never saw her.

Then did he leave that world unwillingly, reluctantly, and in despair, unable to close his eyes in death?

Did he… feel the same?

Thinking about it, she couldn’t distinguish whether her emotions were from acting or if they were real.

Her tears streamed down uncontrollably.

“No, Your Highness, I don’t want a next life, I want this one. I don’t want you to die,” she shook her head, her body trembling slightly as she sobbed uncontrollably.

“My dear…” The young man raised his hand to wipe her tears, just as he was about to touch her face, he suddenly collapsed.

“Your Highness?”

“Your Highness!”

“Your Highness…”

Her voice gradually increased until the girl was crying out in agony, but she could no longer call her beloved back!

Everyone present was captivated by the outburst of emotions from Mu Lingyun in this scene.

When the scene ended, the director was stunned and even forgot to call cut.

It was Ji Luochen who sat up and asked the director, “Is it okay now?”

The director hurriedly nodded, “Yes, yes, it’s good!”

Upon hearing this, Ji Luochen, with Mu Lingyun who was still emotionally unstable, entered the resting area.

He pushed her into a chair to sit down, and he sat down as well, giving her tear-streaked face and uncontrollable sadness a cool glance as he spoke in a slightly deep voice, “A professional actor, like you? Being trapped in the emotions of the plot and unable to come out?”

His words carried a hint of real and feigned disdain.

“That’s not it.” Mu Lingyun stood up, came in front of him, sat directly on his lap, wrapped her arms around his neck, buried her head in his chest, and wept softly.

She was not trapped by the emotions of the plot.

She was just reminded of those years she had desperately sought him in Another World.

Toward the end, her body couldn’t hold up any longer, almost vomiting blood every day.

In spite of her frail body, she had searched every possible place but still found nothing.

When she had to leave that world helplessly, despair had taken over all her reason and emotions.

If Ji Luochen had also been desperate to see her before his death, knowing where she was yet unable to meet her, what kind of despair would that have been?

Thinking of this made her feel heartbroken and uneasy all over.

She hugged him a little tighter, her crying became more restrained.

With the girl in his arms sobbing intermittently, Ji Luochen felt his heart being fiercely torn with her rhythm.

It felt somewhat numb, a bit sour, but mostly, it was heartache.

“What’s wrong? Hmm?” His voice was husky, his arms tightened, tightly embracing her.

“It’s nothing, I’m just grateful, grateful that we still have this lifetime,” Mu Lingyun spoke through sobs in his embrace.

“Since that’s the case, you should be smiling. Please stop crying, okay?”

Her crying in his arms wasn’t really a problem.

But if she kept on crying, he was afraid his heart couldn’t take it.
