"No, you just can't see him, but he may be hiding in any corner, silently watching us."

These words gave Lei Yaoyang a chill, and he couldn't help but glance around the car. It was extremely normal.

But what seems normal to him might just be a means to confuse him.

"He guessed you would come with him. He said he believed in me and would keep a proper distance from you. He would feel more at ease with you accompanying me in Changde. To be honest, I was really happy to see you. It made me feel like I had something worthwhile. But in order for us to be together for a long time, we can only endure it now."

Lei Yaoyang certainly understood that he was willing to keep his promise for the rest of his life just to protect himself.

But he was also feeling uneasy.

"What if you really recover your memory after a year?"

"I know very well that even if the person he is looking for is really my past life, in my eyes, she is just another person. Even if I have her memories, I will treat it as just watching someone else's movie. I believe that my feelings for you will not waver." She said this in anticipation of her choice if she saw Cao Siye's movie and recovered her memory.

"What if, one year later, he doesn't keep his promise?"

I have already made plans for this in my life.

All Cao Siye wanted was her.

If Cao Siye is really someone who does not keep her promises, then she might choose to sacrifice herself in order to protect Lei Yaoyang.

The sacrifice here does not mean repeating the mistakes made by Qin Shen.

Instead, he left this world completely and reunited with his parents in the underworld.

But at this moment, she would definitely not say what she was thinking, and just said calmly: "Let's talk about it a year later! I am already very happy that Cao Siye allowed you to go back to Changde with me, and you really showed up."

"Yeah, it's good to be with you, we don't have to be in a romantic relationship."

Thinking of this, the two smiled at each other.

Each of them placed a hand by their side, and although there was a fist's distance between their hands, they seemed to be tightly clasped together.

Whenever Cao Siye thought about Yu Sheng and Lei Yaoyang sitting on the high-speed train back to Changde, he felt like an ant on the hot pan, restless.

He really wanted to teleport over at this moment without caring about anything, and just get between the two of them, shamelessly.

But if I do this, I will hate him for the rest of my life.

He would also hate himself.

Then go invisible?

Then he and Lei Yaoyang have become the same kind of people! He said he had been waiting silently for ten years, but in fact he was a stalker and a voyeur. He was always ashamed of it, so he didn't want to learn it.

And what if he saw something that made him anxious and angry, or heard something that made him crazy, and he couldn't help but explode on the spot?

When he calmed down, it was as if there were two little people fighting in his mind.

One that told him to stop worrying and focus on preparing for the movie.

One of them was trying hard to draw him towards Yu Sheng, making him unable to calm down.

In the end, it was Shu Fu who rescued him. She knocked on the door of his presidential suite with a computer in her arms.

Shu Fu saw that Cao Siye had dark circles under his eyes again and smelled strongly of alcohol.

Cao Siye answered without being asked: "Yes, I didn't sleep much last night, and I didn't take a shower either."

Ever since he found Yu Sheng, Cao Siye has been caught in a battle for his wife. He has never had a good night's sleep and looks more and more haggard and thin.

"Okay, stop staring at me. Tell me what you want to talk to me about!" Cao Siye slumped on the sofa, the coffee table in front of him was filled with messy papers.

"Oh, I had appointments with two film production companies yesterday, and today..."

"No need, I have found it. Wan Zhiya gave me a reply this morning and said she will arrange for the entire film team for me."

"Ah?" Shu Fu was stunned for two seconds before reacting, "Oh, then, about the script writer, I have found one..."

"I've found one too." Cao Siye dug out his phone from the pile of papers, operated it for a while, and said, "I've sent you her WeChat, add her. Her name is Zhu Qingqiu, and she's a descendant of my old friend."

What's wrong with Cao Siye? She actually did all her work at once.

"I didn't take the wrong medicine." Cao Siye said with a dark face, "Speed, what I want is speed. I don't want to waste time waiting. Do you understand?"

Now it was Shu Fu's turn to have a black face.

This is an indirect criticism of her inefficiency.

This feeling of having your mind read all the time is really terrible.

She could only suppress her displeasure and smoothed her hair behind her ears to make herself look less embarrassed.

"I have already transferred the money for writing the script to her, and sent her the recording. You know, I get sleepy when I see too many words. Here are the words, you can review them."

"Okay!" Shu Fu responded readily, "But it will take some time to write the script..."

"Yes, I have thought about this issue. We can't waste too much time waiting for the script, so you must keep a close eye on this. Wan Zhiya said that the team will need about a week to prepare. During this week, no matter how much she writes, she will ask him to send it to her. We will shoot as much as we can. If there is no script, I will communicate with the director."

"Okay! I understand."

"As for the female lead, I actually really want to ask Xu Yinghong to play the role. She does look a bit like Taohong, but she just had a baby not long ago, so I don't know if she's willing to come out to film. So I'll go talk to her. If she doesn't agree, we may have to screen someone from the information we looked for before."

"Okay, I'm familiar with that information, and I've met most of them, so I have the most intuitive impression. I'll make a list as soon as possible and let you choose."

"it is good!"

The two of them finished their conversation very efficiently, and Cao Siye figured out what to do next, so he prepared to go and talk to Xu Yinghong in person.

As for Shu Fu, Zhu Qingqiu passed the friend verification not long after.

Shu Fu even talked about the importance of filming a movie to the script, and this so-called descendant of an old friend didn't know his background or where he came from, nor did he know how much he weighed.

On WeChat, after the two of them exchanged friendly greetings, she directly interrogated: "Are you a professional writer?"

"That's not the case. I'm just an ordinary housewife. However, most of my ancestors were writers. I was influenced by my family and read a lot of books since I was a child. I occasionally write some random thoughts. It can be regarded as a hobby."

“Have you published any articles?”

"No."

This answer made Shu Fu feel like she was falling into an ice cellar. How could someone who had neither writing experience nor any works write a script simply out of interest and hobby?

She was a little impulsive and wanted to rush back to Cao Siye's room immediately to ask him to take back his decision.

"But does it matter?" the other end replied.

Shu Fu typed, "How is this not important?" But she felt the words were a bit heavy, so she hesitated and didn't send it out.

The other side replied with another message. "I know you will definitely doubt my writing ability. To be honest, if you find any online writer out there, they might be better than me. However, I have something that none of them have."

Shu Fu quickly deleted the previous interruption and typed three words: "What is it?"

"Everything about Mr. Cao!"

"My great-grandfather spent his entire life looking for someone to help Mr. Cao, and the secrets about Mr. Cao have been passed down in our family. But because of his kindness, he never mentioned it to irrelevant people. Therefore, I am definitely the person who can best express the emotions he wants most."

"It's been two hundred years. Thank you for helping him find her! I believe my great-grandfather would be happy in heaven too!"

Shu Fu silently looked at the three messages sent one after another, and she began to understand that in the past two hundred years, there were people like her who helped Cao Siye look for Tao Hong.

Seeing that sentence of thanks, she felt an indescribable shock and emotion, and a heartfelt empathy.

At this moment, she suddenly became proud, because it was she who ended this nearly two hundred years of searching. Cao Siye's performance was indeed extraordinary.

A few days later, Shu Fu received news that Xu Yinghong agreed to play the leading female role.

The script was also sent within the required time.

As the first reviewer of the script, Shu Fu read about the eight lifetimes of entanglement between Cao Siye and Tao Hong in the past.

Looking at those words, they seem more like Cao Siye’s own account.

It was all because of an agreement between her and me.

That was my meeting with her, I call it, the first life.

My father's name is Ji Jingxing, and my mother's name is Ouyang Chuyan.

When my mother was pregnant with me, she accidentally found an extremely rare four-leaf clover in the fields.

At that time, there was a legend circulating among the people that anyone who saw a four-leaf clover would be very lucky and live a happy and worry-free life.

Not long after, I was born and my mother named me Siye, hoping that luck would always be with me.

My name is Ji Shiye. Later, due to health reasons, my mother did not have any more children, so I became the only child in the family.

Both happiness and misfortune are blessings.

I don’t know if it was because of the blessing of the four-leaf clover, but my childhood was smooth and happy.

Until I was fifteen, everything began to change.

My parents worked hard, so our family was fairly well off.

When my father went to the market, he saw refugees pouring in from other places. He immediately bought a cart of food, then secretly transported it to a cave in the back mountain and hid it.

Later, those people who had fled also arrived at our Fengling Village and learned about it.

Last year, the water level of the Yangtze River rose and flooded many farmlands, resulting in a total failure to harvest that year.

This year we are rebuilding our homes, and we are waiting for a good harvest so that we can spend the winter peacefully.

Unexpectedly, there was a sudden locust plague this year, and all the food was eaten up by locusts. The villagers had basically eaten up all their food reserves, so there was no way they could have any more. As a last resort, they began to flee from the famine.

The government opening its granaries to release grain could only provide a temporary solution.

As more and more victims poured in, the food in each household became less and less.

At first, some people were blinded by money and wanted to make a fortune from the disaster, so they deliberately hoarded food and raised the price of food. Some people thought the disaster would soon be over, so they exchanged their own food for money.

Unexpectedly, food became more and more expensive, and ordinary people could no longer afford it. Later, even some prominent officials and their families could not afford it.

In order to get a bite of food, some people, due to being too hungry, lost their minds and started snatching.

And some thieves even carry out robbery in a planned manner.

The entire county town fell into chaos.

I don't know who heard the news from somewhere that my father had hoarded a cart of food, so they gathered some people and came to my house to look for it.

Fortunately, my father’s good friend, Ji Changqing, came to inform us in advance, so our family was able to escape in time.

At that time, time was tight, so we only packed some simple clothes and hurriedly fled to Fengling Mountain behind the village.

Fengling Mountain is steep and the roads are complicated. Once we entered the mountain, even if someone caught up with us, it would be difficult to find us.

And the key point is that my father took us to a hidden corner, pulled aside the branches, and revealed a cave half a person's height.

My father said he was worried about Ji Changqing's family, so he let us go in first, then he hid the door and left alone.

Unexpectedly, although the entrance is narrow, the further you go in, the more open it becomes and the light becomes brighter and brighter.

Among them, I saw some simple daily necessities and the food that my father had brought in earlier.

Walking further, we came to an open area. The mountain above our heads seemed to have a big crack, and the sunlight poured down from it.

Later I heard from my father that he discovered this place by accident and never expected it to be of such great use.

In the evening, my father finally came back.

In addition to his father's good friend Ji Changqing, he also had his wife Song Yue and his two children. The son was named Ji Wuyou and the daughter was named Ji Wuchou.

We don’t know how long the famine outside will last.

So they lived in the cave for a long time.

I don’t know how long it took, but all I know is that the weather got cold, it snowed, and then the snow melted and flowers bloomed.

Although we always saved food and ate it on tree bark, my father and uncle would go out and hunt some game, but eventually the food would run out.

When my father and uncle were out, they would occasionally observe what was going on in the village.

He once secretly told his mother about the cannibalism in the village.

My mother suggested that we share some of their food. After all, those villagers had lived together in the past and had developed feelings for each other.

But my father disagreed.

So the mother would always wipe away her tears secretly.

Since then, my father never talked about what happened outside again.

But I could still find out from my uncle who starved to death and who froze to death.

My father has been storing seeds and waiting to plant them in the spring.

After he checked again and again that there was no danger outside, he told us we could go out.

We are all very happy that we can finally be freed from this cage.

But my mood hasn't changed much.

Because it was during that time in the cave that Ji Changqing's daughter Ji Wuchou and I fell in love with each other and secretly decided to spend our lives together.

Considering that everyone was struggling to survive at that time, we did not make our story public, and waited for the right time to tell everyone.
