Starlight Has No Past Chapter 18.1

Chapter 18 Part 1

The autumn night was already chilly . Ye Qiao, wearing thin clothes,
walked back in front of the camera and dropped herself straight to the
ground after giving out a cry . She was deliberately being rough on
herself so she could portray the despair as her character broke down .
With a loud thud, pebbles on the ground embedded into her knees .
Tears naturally welled up from the sharp pain . But she immediately held
the tears back . Her character, Lu Zhiyao, at this moment had already
gone beyond the point of evading and denying the reality and was well
on her way into darkness . What had just shattered apart wasn’t her feelings,
but her sense of morality .

Ye Qiao stood up bearing with the pain . Her teary face was sad but
resolute . She staggered slightly but steadied herself right away, then
she walked without hesitation into the dark night .

In this take, she didn’t try to show the character’s determination . Her
controlled grief inadvertently gave a powerful statement, of determination
that comes from desperation .

“Cut . ”

The assistant director was the first one to call out: “It’s a wrap . ”

Shen Ting hurried over and placed a jacket over her and handed over
some hot water . She knelt down to check the wound on Ye Qiao’s knees:
“You fell down too hard! You have pebbles stuck to your knees . ”

Ye Qiao’s tender and smooth knees were now covered in blood . Others
could feel the pain just by looking at them .

Gu Jin was behind the monitor, excitement in his eyes . He waved to
Ye Qiao: “Qiaoqiao, come over, this take is excellent!”

Shen Ting glanced over Ye Qiao’s knees and whispered: “Should we take
care of this first?”

Ye Qiao shook her head: “I’ll go over to take a look first . It’s not a big deal . ”
She limped over and sat down next to Gu Jin .

She limped over and sat down next to Gu Jin .

Shen Ting took the untouched hot water back and mumbled: “No wonder
they were a couple before, a pair of nuts……”

A lighting technician nearby who was packing up his equipment asked in
a loud voice: “Ah? What did you say?”

Shen Ting hurriedly replied: “Nothing, nothing! Do you need help?”

It was 2am when Ye Qiao arrived back at home .

As soon as she walked out of the elevator, she smelled the aroma of
cooked food, coming from apartment 2302 .

It was the smell of meat soup . Wasn’t he a vegetarian?

She had dinner at 6pm, 8 hours ago . She didn’t feel hungry while filming

She had dinner at 6pm, 8 hours ago . She didn’t feel hungry while filming
in the chilly breeze, but now, after catching a whiff of cooked food, she
suddenly felt famish .

Ye Qiao stood right in front of her own door . Just when she entered the
first two digits of her security code, her cell phone vibrated .

A WeChat message------ “You’re back?”

Ye Qiao thought about last night and figured that it wouldn’t be too much
to ask for a share of his midnight meal .

Ye Qiao didn’t return the message, instead, she went over and knocked
on his door .

Zhou Tingsheng came out from the kitchen and was slow to answer the
door . He carried with him the warmth and smell of food .

Ye Qiao chose to ignore his sly smile and asked while looking at the
kitchen: “What are you cooking?”

“Rib soup . ”

It was just as she had expected, but she still didn’t understand why: “You’re
cooking rib soup in the middle of the night? Did you just kill someone?”

Zhou Tingsheng let her come in: “It’s for Desa . ”

“ . . . . . . ”

So she had to share food with a dog . Desa squatted at the corner,
cautiously watching her .

Ye Qiao wanted to deny the motivation for coming here in the first place .
But she was here already, she couldn’t say that she was here because she
was lonely at night, or could she?
