Jian Yan stared at her with an indifferent expression and was trying to hide the surge of emotions inside his heart.

She not only remembered him but also forgot his name.

' Did I mean nothing to her? Did she forget about me just like that? '

Though he knows that the incident in their childhood might not mean anything to her, but it was everything to him.

When he went back to Xie Ming's school to search for her and find out what happened to her and nobody knows about her whereabouts, his heart broke into pieces.

He never thought something cruel could happen to a girl like her.

For him, she was a strong girl who never went weak in front of any person or situation.

But what happened to her was something very unfortunate. Her mother died and she was accused of forcing herself on her classmate.

He even finds out about that guy and beats him to a pulp and finally, that guy opened his mouth.

Jian Yan got to know that Xie Ming did nothing and he framed her because if everyone got to know that he was the one who forced her than he would have gotten kicked out of the school.

What shocked him that her father didn't believe her as well. How can a father not believed his daughter but some random guy?

However, Xie Ming didn't know that something like this happened behind her back because she was abroad and was away from everything. She has no idea that someone has beaten that guy for her sake.

....

Jian Yan was reminded of all the memories with her and when she saved him from getting bullied.

Unconsciously, a smile plastered on his face.

Xie Ming looked at him in amusement.

" Ermm. By the way, what are you doing here? Are you going to a workshop as well? But this workshop is for the cast of Eternal Love only." She muttered as she looked at him in confusion.

By now she was in a daze and the half-sleep state but if she thinks clearly, there is no reason for him to be here.

This is a bus for the cast of Eternal Love only which will take them to the workshop.

There could be only two reasons for him to be on this bus.

Either he is her partner and the second male lead or he is here because he has taken the lift to the Ning city.

However, the option of taking a lift does not suit him because he could simply drive there or could call a cab if does not want to drive.

He does not need to take a lift from them.

Now the only option left is that he is the second male lead.

Because he was sitting at the place where the second male lead was supposed to sit.

Xu Lan has told her that her second male lead would come later and before he could come, she fell asleep.

" You... you're the second male lead?" Xie Ming looked at him in surprise and spoke while stuttering.

Jian Yan raised his brows and sighed, ' Finally. At least she could realize that.' he sighed in relief.

Though she was slow however she finally realizes that he was the second male lead.

He nodded slightly and said, " Yes. I am the second lead of the movie. Nice to meet you." He stretched his hand for a handshake after formally introducing himself.

Xie Ming looked at the hand in front of her " Oh." She shook his hand lightly and said, " And I am the second female lead. Nice to meet you too." She also introduced herself.

Though she was feeling weird introducing herself like this.

Jian Yan looked at the orbit like eyes of Xie Ming and fell into the pool of emotions.

The girl in front of him has no idea how much this man has yearned for her. But in the end, she became of someone else.

....

After introduction, Xie Ming sat straight and said facing towards him, " But if you're the second male lead of the movie, then why didn't you tell me that the other day when we met each other at the mall".

" You could have told me there. Then I wouldn't be this surprised." She said while pouting slightly.

She was startled earlier. She has never expected that the second male lead will be someone she knows.

She was relieved that there is someone that she knows before.

Jian Yan looked at her and said, " I didn't mean to hide it. I just didn't know that you're the second female lead of the movie."

" Just like you, I had no idea about you either."He lied straight away.

He has known about it from the start. He just didn't tell her that day.

He wants to see her reaction when she sees him like this at the script reading. But before that could happen he got the shock when she introduced Liwei to him as her husband.

" Oh. Is that so. But I am glad that you're the second male lead. It's my first movie so I am a little nervous."

Jian Yan looked at her with warmth in his gaze and said in a low voice, " don't worry. You can ask me anything. I will help you and you don't need to be nervous. Everything will be fine."

" Yes. But I am still happy that you're my partner. Because it's much more comfortable like this. I would have been uncomfortable if it were someone else."

Jian Yan felt pleased hearing her words. He was also glad that he was working with him.

If he could not be with her, then at least he can express his feelings in the movie.

H didn't say anything and just smiled at her.

" Ah, one more thing." She suddenly turned towards him and saw him smiling at her.

She was confused seeing his warm gaze and asked, " Why? Is there something behind my head?"

Jian Yan was startled when she suddenly turned around like this.

He panicked when she asked him the question. He shook his head and said, " Nothing. You were saying something?"

He tried to shift the topic and tried to distract her. He was nervous if she asks him the same question again.

He was worried, what will he answer as to why he was smiling at her?

' because you were pretty? Or because I like you?' he just repeated these answers in his head.

His love for her was strong because she was the only girl he has lived since his childhood.

Now, this girl seems to be far away from him.
