I accidentally spilt the beans, told Kevin that in school time, Jeffery had expressed his love to me, but I refused. It rather shocked Kevin, he asked, “That’s why you avoid him now?”
I shook my head, “To be honest, Kevin, I just have no idea… And every time I see Jeffery, I feel so uncomfortable. There have been many other boys courting me, but nobody was like Jeffery, made me so uncomfortable, even afraid. So, I try not to be connected with him in my work.”
“Alas! I’m supposed to hype it up! That will get a lot of attentions!” Said Kevin.
“Hey, please! You know that, Kevin. And you understand me, right?”
Looking at my fear, he finally promised that he would not hype it or force me to cooperate with Jeffery.
Since variety shows were alike, I had no desire to continue to watch. On the point of changing the channel, a familiar face flashed into the picture all of a sudden. Is that Yuki Zheng? Why is she everywhere?!
In the screen, the host asked Yuki to say hello to everyone first, and then began to ask her some routine questions like “what’s your outlook on love”, which seemed to care about her but actually not.
At the end of the question, the host suddenly said, “Yuki, you know, the media is always talking that you and Shirley were at odds with each other, and that’s why you two did not appear in the same program. But now, unfortunately, she passed away. So, will you still keep those grudges?”
This question shocked me indeed. As is often the case, variety shows would talk about something joyful and relaxed instead of those bitter topics. Because that would embarrass the actor and even affect the whole atmosphere! Perhaps the host wanted to raise public attention by this topic, or he just wasn’t a chatty man!
I was wondering how Yuki would reply to avoid this question but her eyes were suddenly around with tears, looked extremely sad, along with her pathetic makeup today, thus arousing everyone’s sympathy.
She paused for a few seconds before answering, seemed to adjust her mood. “Actually, the media are talking nonsense. In private, Shirley and I are very good friends. I feel so sorry about the accident…”
Speaking of this, Yuki suddenly turned around with her back to the camera. It seemed that my unexpected death made her particularly heartbroken and could not control herself.
The host hurriedly went up to pat her on the shoulder and handed over the tissue. For a while, the program recording was interrupted, and the staff on-site all came over to comfort her. Finally, she stepped off the stage by the crowd…
After a while, the host came up to explain, “Excuse me, I’m so sorry guys. Yuki can’t control herself when thinking of her friend Shirley, so we had to pause for a while. And now, let’s continue…”
I couldn’t calm down for a long time when sitting in front of the TV! When did I become Yuki’s very good friend? Since she got benefits in my memorial service, Yuki began to claim that we were good friends on various occasions, and then pretended to act a play to win people’s sympathy so as to gain more fans. Such a wicked woman! Not to mention it is she who killed me, but takes advantage of me to increase the focus!
Browsing the comments below the video, as expected, those comments confirmed my suspicion. They all admired the great friendship between Yuki and Shirley, some even wrote that the real friendship was that you never care about others’ misunderstandings when your friend became popular, but when she passed away, you cried just because someone mentioned her…
Soon, skimming through the entertainment news, it was all about Yuki’s cry because of Shirley. Someone even posted a photo of me and Yuki to prove our deep friendship. I followed their reasoning, almost convinced!
I even felt I heard it wrong before, but the truth was right in front of my eyes, so indisputable: Shirley was dead, and the murderers were Yuki Zheng and my assistant Xin!
I’m dead, but Yuki still uses me to hype. The woman who killed me is still alive, peacefully. How can the world be so unfair? Why did she do that to me?!
Just then the phone rang. I saw it was Kevin and picked it up. A concerned voice came from the other side, “are you asleep? How are you today? Should I come and be with you?”
I felt sick after watching Yuki’s hypocritical appearance. “Kevin, did you see that in Channel *? Yuki Zheng said she was my friend. And she cried when mentioned my death, even interrupt the recording!”
“Bah!” Hearing that, Kevin also became emotional. He cursed, “what a nerve! Shameless! It was she who directed Xin to kill you, how dare she pretend to be like that? It’s disgusting!”
I felt more and more unfair when thinking of it. I can’t let Shirley die without any reason. I can’t let the murderer go unpunished. I will bring her to justice as Mary Yang, seeking justice for myself. I won’t waste the chance to live again!
“Kevin, I don’t want to be like this all the time. I have to avenge myself!” I said seriously, “I can’t let the murderer run away. I’ll send her to the prison by myself. Only in this way can the pain I have to face again be worthy.”
“Well,” Kevin agreed, “no matter what decision you make, I’ll always be your side! Trust me!”
I was so grateful to hear that. He was and is helping me and taking care of me. I couldn’t help but said, “thank you, Kevin, for being with me all the time. Your support really means a lot! I am so lucky to have you in my life!”
Yet Kevin became embarrassed and replied, “come on! I can’t get used to such a strange Shirley!”
“By the way, is there anything about Xin?” I asked.
