Chapter 547: 256 Rebirth (Second Update)

Today is a rare beautiful day.

Ye Zhen, with her mouth full of toothpaste foam, mumbled, “Why are we getting up so early?”

Ming Jing put the filled water bottle into her backpack, “To attend an audition.”

Ye Zhen’s eyes widened, “Yu Dawei’s audition? You’re going to audition?”

“Not me, you.”

Ye Zhen leaned back, almost spraining her ankle, and exclaimed incredulously, “Me?”

Ming Jing glanced at the time, “You only have five minutes.”

Ye Zhen quickly got ready and rushed out. Ming Jing had already prepared her bag, including her water bottle, tissues, and phone.

Ming Jing handed her a packed sandwich and a bottle of warm milk.

Ye Zhen took it, the warmth of the milk seeping into her heart.

“Let’s go,” Ming Jing turned and left.

Ye Zhen followed her, still trying to process what was happening.

While waiting for the elevator, she couldn’t help but ask, “Ming Jing, you… you want me to audition? But… but I…”

This was Ming Xin’s body after all.

Ming Jing looked at a moth struggling to climb the wall. It was winter, and some creatures perished, while others hibernated. This moth was probably searching for food after starvation had weakened it.

Just when it was about to fall, its body formed an arc in midair…

Ming Jing opened her palm, and the moth gently landed on it. Its wings fluttered a few times before it could struggle no more.

“Senior was a kind person. If she knew that you could achieve your dreams, she would be happy for you.”

Being reborn in her senior’s body might not be an accident. Buddhism speaks of cause and effect. Whose cause and whose consequence might be unclear, but in doing so, both Ye Zhen and her senior would be happy.

Because last night, she dreamt of her senior.

Ming Jing sighed and brought the moth to the edge of a flower pot, leaving some water for it.

“Even the coldest winters will pass. Everyone has their own path to walk and their own convictions to uphold.”

Ming Jing entered the elevator, and Ye Zhen followed, suddenly hugging Ming Jing.

“Ming Jing, thank you.”

A warm sensation dripped onto Ming Jing’s shoulder. Through the thick fabric, she could feel Ye Zhen’s burning heart.

“Yesterday’s matters are like yesterday’s deaths. Today’s matters are like new life. Do not waste this second chance, not everyone has this opportunity. Pursue your dreams, fulfill your regrets.”

The young girl softly whispered to Ye Zhen, but also to herself.

Walking out of the hotel entrance, the first rays of sunlight bathed them in warmth. Ye Zhen looked up and took a deep breath.

Her past life was spent struggling in the depths of a bog. Her world had no sunlight, no warmth, no kindness, and was filled with endless darkness and deceit from so-called friends and family.

Dying once and exacting her revenge had finally eased her restless, tormented heart. These past sleepless nights seemed to dissipate under the young girl’s gentle touch.

For the past two days, lying beside Ming Jing, she slept the most comfortable and safe slumber of her life. The overflowing comfort and warmth from deep within her heart made her wake up smiling every day.

The sky was bluer, the clouds whiter, and the birdsong more melodious.

Even the cold wind didn’t feel as bone-chilling.

It turns out that when you meet a gentle person, the world becomes gentler too.

Ye Zhen stroked the Buddhist beads on her wrist, glancing at the young girl beside her.

A slow smile spread across her lips, sunlight dancing on her eyebrows and the corners of her mouth, making her as captivating as spring water.

Yesterday’s matters are like yesterday’s death.

Today’s matters are like new life.

True rebirth is not just regaining a heartbeat, a healthy and free body. It is the land beneath one’s feet, the landscapes seen with one’s eyes, and the liberation and sublimation of the soul…

“It’s so good to be alive!” she softly exclaimed.Fingers covering her eyes, the playful sunlight filtered through the gaps and shone into her eyes, illuminating her world like a beam of light.

In front of her appeared a tall and elegant girl, her swaying skirt adorned with lotus flowers, resembling a lotus pedestal.

Pure, ethereal, and unattainable.

Supporting the weak, saving all sentient beings – she had accomplished it all.

Ye Zhen lowered her eyes, gently stroking the Buddhist beads on her wrist.

“Can I selfishly ask for something?”

You saved others, but I only wanted you as Ming Jing.

——

Having been a producer for many years, Wu Chao felt like he’d really lucked out getting to work with Yu Dawei this time.

People inside the circle all praised his achievements with envy, and he didn’t mind it at all.

He arrived early and waited at the entrance of the building, watching numerous young, pretty, and fashionable young ladies coming in, nodding frequently. It seemed like half the actresses in the entertainment industry had shown up.

He even saw several familiar faces.

Most of the important roles were already settled, but the main female lead and some young supporting roles were still open. The director required young faces, and after much deliberation, Yu Dawei was still unsatisfied. The investors also tried to force their choices in, so in defiance, Yu Dawei decided to hold an audition. As long as you had the ability, you could participate, effectively shutting the investors up. It was the most fair method available at the moment.

“Good morning, Mr. Wu,” said Duan Xiaoxiao, her face heavily made up, smiling as she greeted him.

Wu Chao was left with a headache. Had this girl been so drunk last night that she lost her memory? He had repeatedly reminded her to appear with a natural look, and yet here she was, her face painted like a monkey’s butt.

However, with so many people around, it was not convenient for Wu Chao to speak up. He pointed to his own face, hoping she would be smart enough to understand.

Instead, Duan Xiaoxiao thought Wu Chao was praising her makeup and smiled even more proudly, striding confidently into the room.

A young girl in a white dress caught his eye, and Wu Chao stared intently at her. She walked right past him without a glance, and even after she had disappeared from sight, he still hadn’t quite processed it.

The girl who had been walking next to her was completely overshadowed, and he couldn’t even remember her face; his mind was filled with the image of the girl in white.

When had the entertainment circle produced such an incredibly beautiful woman?

Compared with this girl, the so-called number one beauty Luo Ziyin seemed rather vulgar.

Wu Chao sighed in admiration. There were many hidden gems in the entertainment industry. The key was whether anyone had the capital to promote them. This girl might not be the type that Yu Dawei liked. Yu Dawei was fond of actresses with spiritual energy. The Lady Yu actresses he had promoted earlier were not top beauties in the entertainment industry; at most, they were considered elegant and charming. But once they acted, their performances were full of spirit and charisma, earning high praise for Yu Dawei’s talent in selecting actresses.

A pearl that everyone loves is nice, but picking a gem when it’s buried in the dust is an absolute skill.

Wu Chao sighed again, wondering which Lady Yu would emerge from the audition and secure her place at the top of the entertainment circle for the next decade.

At this moment, a car stopped at the entrance. Seeing the license plate, Wu Chao immediately walked up respectfully.

“Master Yu, you’ve worked hard.”

A white-haired man in his sixties stepped out of the car. This was the legendary Yu Dawei.

He was tall and slim, with silver hair but exceptionally white skin. His eyes were warm yet sharp, and his movements exuded an air of elegance, revealing that in his youth he must have been a very handsome and elegant gentleman.

A young man in a white tracksuit then jumped out of the car. Wearing a headband and sunglasses, he appeared to be quite a cool and handsome character with a mischievous, stubborn charm.

Wu Chao’s eyes brightened, and he flattered him: “This must be Young Master Yu, indeed, like father like son. Seeing Young Master Yu’s demeanor reminds me of Master Yu’s youthful aura.”

The young man rolled his eyes behind his sunglasses, chomping on his gum and retorted, “You’ve got quite the eyesight. When my uncle was young, you were probably still in diapers.”

Wu Chao was taken aback, a little embarrassed: “I’m sorry, I thought you were Young Master Yu. I didn’t realize you were Master Yu’s nephew.”

The young man snorted and lowered his head to type furiously on his phone. He was probably sending someone a message, but suddenly he burst into laughter.

Wu Chao took a quick look; the young man’s laughter had a mischievous charm that was very attractive to the ladies.

Yu Dawei furrowed his brow and said coldly, “Let’s go.”

He took the lead and walked inside.

The young man followed in a lackadaisical manner, texting on his phone as he walked.
