Chapter 21:
'Ten Dreams, Nine Peace' began filming smoothly, just like in my previous life.
Lu Huanzhou spent money to build up an impressive momentum for Lin Bailu.
There were rumors, hot searches, and the love affair between the Buddhist followers in the entertainment circle and the beautiful qipao-wearing woman.
Each one was enough to be talked about for a long time by the public and fans.
Shiyu opened his phone to show me.
The top trending topic was: #ImmortalProduct.
In the scene, Lin Bailu was wearing a pure white qipao, standing under a tree.
Pear blossoms fell all around, and she pinned a strand of hair behind her ear, raising her hand to catch a handful of pear blossoms and sprinkling them on herself.
Then she began to dance gracefully.
The camera zoomed out, and a few steps away, Lu Huanzhou was gazing at her with deep affection in his eyes.
He wore a black designer suit with a string of Buddhist beads on his wrist.
The comments section was flooded with: 'It's so satisfying!' 'They match so well!' 'Bring the civil affairs bureau here, I want to see them get married on the spot!' Shiyu raised an eyebrow and said, 'Tsk.' 'Twenty actions in ten seconds, each carefully designed.' 'What do you think seventeen-year-old Lu Huanzhou would feel if he saw himself being so artificial now?' I fell silent for a long time and asked him, 'Do you think...my brother is still alive?' Even if I were to be reincarnated, I still wouldn't know.
The current Lu Huanzhou had become another person due to the plot or perhaps his soul had been swapped.
If his soul had truly been swapped, then is my original brother still alive? 'Actually, I realized something was off a long time ago,' Shiyu said.
'Because the old Lu Huanzhou, ever since he found out that I liked you, repeatedly warned me not to reveal my feelings for you.
Outside the window, the traffic flowed silently.
His words seemed to transport me back to the summer eight years ago.
Eighteen-year-old Lu Huanzhou and Shiyu facing each other.
Lu Huanzhou spoke in a calm tone: 'My sister is still young.
I don't want her to be carried away by the affection we've grown up with when she doesn't understand anything, unable to distinguish between love and delusion.
If you truly like her, wait a few more years, wait until she's grown up.' At this point, Shiyu paused.
'But I didn't wait.'"
"In the second month, he went to the Nan Gui Temple and came back as if he had been cursed.
We gathered, and a useless person who knows nothing drank too much and actually made fun of you.
If it were before, Lu Huanzhou would have fought him long ago.
But instead, I punched that person, only to be stopped by him."
"He said it was just a joke.
He mentioned that Buddha teaches forgiveness and said that we should not create unnecessary troubles over an insignificant person."
"I said Yin Yin is your sister, and he replied, 'So what? She's just flesh and blood, nothing but illusions.'"
He sneered, "I don't know if that was really Lu Huanzhou or another stranger."
"Nevertheless, if he knew, he would probably hate himself so much that he would want to commit suicide right away."
"After all, he would never allow anyone to harm you, especially not himself."
