The Fleeting Years of Chinese Entertainment

The waterfall cascades down...

With the force of a sudden descent, it crashed down on Liu Yifei, leaving her completely bewildered.

At this moment... she could no longer hear any sound, whether it was the cries for help from the crowd or the sound of the rushing water, as if both of her ears had gone deaf.

The icy cold of the river seemed to have numbed her body. She wanted to call for help, but the river water enveloping her gave her no chance to speak.

Wanting to struggle...

But her body suddenly seemed to stop obeying her commands, and she couldn't move at all.

Like a fallen leaf drifting in the wind, it is swirled and turned by the current; or like a lone boat adrift in a storm, it rises and falls, and is about to be swallowed by the icy river at any moment.

"Am I... going to die?"

At that moment, countless images flashed through Liu Yifei's mind.

She has a mother who has loved her since she was a child, a father with a hint of resentment, her maternal grandmother and aunt whom she hasn't seen in a long time, and... Lin Mo, who suddenly barged into her heart at some unknown time.

"Mom...Dad...Grandma...Auntie...Xiao Mo..."

"I...don't want to die...who can save me?"

"I still have scenes to film, dreams to fulfill, and that..."

The will to survive instantly overwhelmed everything, and adrenaline was being released at an alarming rate.

Liu Yifei was finally able to feel her body again…

As her thoughts slowly returned, she began to direct her body again.

She struggled in the water, using both her hands and feet!

The current was too strong and the bottom too slippery, so there was nowhere to get a foothold.

The icy river water was about to engulf her sense of touch again, and Liu Yifei could only desperately pat her hands, trying to grasp anything she could, even the smallest straw.

Suddenly…

She felt her hand being grabbed, but she couldn't tell if it was really someone else grabbing her hand, or if she was grabbing someone else's hand.

All she knew now was that in this cold, death-filled river, she had grasped at the hope of survival.

Even though the hand that was holding her wasn't warm, she still genuinely felt its warmth.

That's the temperature that allows life to survive...

"Sissi..."

As the body is removed from the icy river water, consciousness and the sense of touch gradually return to the brain.

She seemed to hear the call of the person she longed for in her heart…

"Sissi...are you alright? Don't scare me!"

"Little...Mo?"

Liu Yifei murmured incoherently, the clear tactile sensation on her hand telling her…

This is not an illusion, it's real, her little Mo really came!

"It really...was you? You came...to save me? Waaah...I was so scared..."

After Liu Yifei recognized Lin Mo, she immediately threw herself into his arms.

Everyone present was completely dumbfounded...

"Sissi, it's okay, it's really okay, I'm here, I've always been here!"

Lin Mo held Liu Yifei as if he were holding a piece of ice that had been frozen for thousands of years, unable to feel even a trace of warmth, but in his eyes... it seemed as if a warm current was flowing through them.

……

"Achoo, achoo, achoo..."

"Achoo, achoo, achoo..."

Lin Mo and Liu Yifei were already sitting in the tent used by the film crew for resting.

The stove burning honeycomb briquettes inside the tent did nothing to dispel the cold from the two of them.

"Xiao Mo... what brings you here? Have you finished dealing with everything related to the movie?"

Liu Yifei, who was wrapped tightly in a quilt, had finally regained some energy, and her face had turned rosy, no longer as bluish as when she first came out of the water.

"You still have the mind to care about me?"

Lin Mo was also wrapped in a cotton quilt, and he and Liu Yifei huddled close to the stove.

"The movie stuff was all sorted out a long time ago, otherwise why would I be visiting you on set?"

"Hehe...you kept your promise." Liu Yifei said with a beaming smile:

"How can you still laugh? Do you know how dangerous that was? There's a cliff right next to that waterfall!"

Lin Mo's face was still filled with lingering fear.

Although in her previous life, Liu Yifei was also saved by Huang Xiaoming, Gao Mingku, and others.

But with this big, fluttering moth in this life, who knows if a butterfly effect or something will happen.

If fate were to be blind and let Lin Mo, that big moth, be blown away by Miss Liu's wings, he would be heartbroken and have nowhere to cry.

"I'm not afraid. You've already saved me. As long as you're by my side, I feel like I'm not afraid of anything now."

Liu Yifei spoke sincerely, but Lin Mo found it both funny and exasperating.

"No way, I'm not omnipotent. I'm more of a survivalist, so please don't even think about doing anything foolish!"

Lin Mo spoke from the bottom of his heart, but Liu Yifei listened with a somewhat indifferent attitude.

"Heh...you're still the same as before, as cowardly as ever."

"I want to preserve my health so I can still be useful. After all, once you die, you lose everything. I haven't had enough of the good life I'm living!"

Lin Mo felt that what he said made a lot of sense, but Liu Yifei didn't seem to take it seriously.

"Then why did you jump into the water to save me without thinking?"

Lin Mo fell silent instantly…

Liu Yifei looked at Lin Mo quietly. Although she knew the reason, she just wanted to hear Lin Mo say it to her in person.

Although she is not yet an adult, she is already getting impatient.

"Just say it..."

Seeing that Lin Mo hadn't spoken for a long time, Liu Yifei frowned slightly and began to urge him.

"You...except for you..."

Looking at Liu Yifei's urging gaze, Lin Mo roughly understood what she was thinking.

It wasn't that he was too shy to say it, but rather that he didn't want to... be punished yet!

"Why am I an exception?"

Liu Yifei was a bit persistent. Always straightforward, she had been unable to tolerate her ambiguous relationship with Lin Mo ever since filming "Your Name".

She didn't know what dating was like in China, but she knew what kind of relationship she wanted.

She doesn't like love that's hidden, nor does she want that kind of love.

So today she has to get an explanation from Lin Mo, a real and definite answer.

Looking at Liu Yifei's serious eyes, Lin Mo felt that he was determined to deal with this beast today.

"Sissi, are you really sure? Do you really want me to tell you now?" Lin Mo pulled the blanket tighter around himself and said seriously.

Liu Yifei looked at Lin Mo and nodded seriously.

"Actually, I've been waiting for you to say it..."

Lin Mo composed himself and spoke solemnly:

"good!"
