Chapter 264: Chapter 264: It’s Like Having a Nightmare_1

Gong Xiaoqiao glanced at the last line of the paper, stood up, turned around, and walked out of the private room like a lost soul.

"Xiaoqiao—" Qin Yao chased after her.

She walked on without any awareness, until she felt like she bumped into someone, and dumbly raised her head.

Was it... Gu Hangshen...?

"Xiaoqiao?" Gu Hangshen looked at her oddly and, gripping her shoulders, asked with suspicion.

The next second, her eyes rolled back, all strength drained from her, and her body fell into the arms behind her, only to be seized once more by the person in front.

"Qin Yao! What have you done to her?"

Qin Yao looked at Gu Hangshen with a smirk that was not quite a smile, "It seems the person least qualified to ask that question is you! You’d better give her back to me!"

Gu Hangshen looked at the person in his arms and eventually let Qin Yao take her away...

When Gong Xiaoqiao woke up, Qin Yao was by the bedside, his features haggard, eyes bloodshot, and his handsome face surprisingly covered in scruffy stubble.

Seeing her open her eyes, Qin Yao quickly grasped her hand, "Awake?"

Gong Xiaoqiao gazed blankly at the white ceiling.

It felt like she had a nightmare, a terrifying one.

What was even more terrifying was the fact that it wasn’t a dream but reality.

Qin Yao, with his head buried, said full of remorse, "I’m sorry, I’m sorry... I shouldn’t have sprung those words on you without any warning!"

"What time is it now?" Xiaoqiao asked.

"You’ve been unconscious for three days and nights, it’s the fourth morning now."

Gong Xiaoqiao suddenly sat up, "Where’s my phone?"

Qin Yao handed her the phone.

The phone had run out of battery and shut down automatically.

"Damn! Feng Sxia must be going crazy looking for me!" Gong Xiaoqiao hurriedly put on her jacket, ready to run out, but Qin Yao grabbed her arm.

"Where are you going?"

"To the set."

"The set? Going... to the set?"

"Where else did you think I was going?" Gong Xiaoqiao replied.

He had imagined countless reactions she might have upon waking up, but he never guessed she would act as if nothing had happened, as if she had just woken up from sleep.

"Even if everything you said is true, and it’s all in the past, what else can I do? If that’s still not enough, and Gu Hangshen wants my life, then I’ll give it to him!"

-

When Gong Xiaoqiao arrived at the set, Feng Sxia and the rest of the crew were surprisingly calm.

Clearly, they had become accustomed to her unpredictable disappearances.

Jinmulin had no idea when he had also shown up.

Because she wasn’t there, Feng Sxia had taken the opportunity to work on the scenes of the other actors.

Jinmulin’s character was Emperor Xiu, who turned into the demon king after becoming a great black dragon.

This drama, compared to the previous one, was a bit of a role reversal for the male and female leads, with the female lead becoming a demon last time, and this time the male lead.

However, this time the style was lighter and more adorable, a cultivation type, which Gong Xiaoqiao herself preferred, not just acting for the sake of acting, so she was especially devoted this time.

-

After that day, Gong Xiaoqiao began to suffer from insomnia night after night, unable to sleep no matter what she did, only managing to doze off when extremely tired.

Moreover, she couldn’t sleep in bed, her head no sooner touching the pillow than nightmares would start to flood in.

Often, she would fall asleep halfway through reading the script while sitting in her chair, or even in the middle of acting.

For example, when acting out a sleeping scene, she would genuinely fall into a deep, unconscious slumber.

In short, she couldn’t sleep when she was supposed to, only managing to do so when she shouldn’t.
