The Fourteenth Sentence Part 1

Pu Tao never thought Cloud Dweller would give her the power to choose.

It would be too pretentious to make an excuse again, but she was hesitant to respond.

A week went by with Pu Tao pretending nothing had happened. She left work early on Saturday afternoon. She returned to her flat and collapsed in bed.

The event was tomorrow.

At this moment, her nervous feelings suddenly swelled like a balloon, which could explode on her in any instant.

Pu Tao’s heart was pounding like thunder. She sat up and reached for her cell phone.

Xin Tian sent the arrival time and address on Wechat: Rong City’s Expo City at 7 AM. They were going to decorate their exhibit area.

Pu Tao’s nervousness was causing stomach cramps. She replied to Xin Tian’s message: “What do I do? I am so nervous to death.”

Xin Tian: “Don’t be nervous. Just go and take a look at him.”

Pu Tao: “WUWUWUWUWUWUWUWUWU! 1 AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH! I’m so nervous I can vomit.”

She was incoherent and could only use some meaningless words to release her tension.

Xin Tian tried to calm her down. “You might as well do something about it. For example, put on a mask, wash your hair, pick out nice clothes, go to bed early at night, and go to see him looking your best tomorrow.

Oh, right! Pu Tao had a realization. She patted her face and cheered up. She got out of bed and looked through her wardrobe.

However, Pu Tao couldn’t sleep well.

War was imminent. Those who could rest without suffering from a lack of sleep were the strongest warriors.

Cloud Dweller probably figured out she would be uneasy. Thus, he didn’t say much to her about the meeting tonight, except that the CV meet and greet was at 10:30 and she didn’t have to get up too early.

Pu Tao hid the fact she was going to help her friend with setup at an earlier time and only replied with an okay.

Cloud Dweller said good night as usual to end today’s chat.

But Pu Tao felt suffocated and panicked as if she was stuffed into a jar.

This suffocation and panic lasted until she woke up in the morning.

Pu Tao put on makeup and had a hard time putting on false eyelashes. But she saw how weird she looked and ended up ripping it off.

She planned on wearing a dress, but encountered defeat. After putting it on, she looked at herself in front of the mirror for five minutes, but it didn’t fit in her eyes. Finally, she had to take it off and put on her everyday style before she left.

When her taxi arrived at the location, Xin Tian was already waiting for her at Gate 1.

She gave her a worker ID that allowed her to go in and out freely. Pu Tao put it on and kept up with Xin Tian’s pace. She asked anxiously, “Am I dressed casually?”

Xin Tian paused and looked back. “Are you?”

Pu Tao frowned. “It’s the same as how I usually dress.”

Xin Tian looked up and down at her and said, “I can’t see that at all. Maybe it’s because you don’t look casual, so it doesn’t matter what you wear.”

“Thank you for your compliment,” Pu Tao replied weakly.

Xin Tian stressed, “I am telling the truth.”

They arrived at the sound studio’s exhibition area, and there were already several busy people. It included men and women and they were all very young. Among these people was a cute girl.

Xin Tian noticed them first and waved at them.

“Jin Xin!” Xin Tian shouted, “Our helper is here!”

The sweet girl smiled. She placed a cute chibi keyring on the booth. “I’m looking forward to your help. I’m so exhausted.”

Her voice was sweet like overflowing coconut water. It left a faint fragrance in the air.

Pu Tao was shocked for a moment. The girl’s tone was very familiar, and the name was even more familiar to her.

Xin Tian gave her answer. “She is the voice of the female lead in Falling in Love . Do you remember it now?”

Pu Tao responded, “Oh, it’s her.”

Xin Tian pulled Pu Tao over and said, “She also came from Shan City and arrived yesterday afternoon.”

Jin Xin looked up. “Also? Who else is there?”

Pu Tao was quick to blush.

Xin Tian spoke up for her. “Oh, Cloud Dweller. Didn’t you get in touch with him? There are probably a lot of fans coming to see him today.”

Jinxin said, “Oh, I did. But we did not take the same bus. He should have arrived last night.”

Pu Tao’s heart skipped half a beat. Did he already arrive in Rong City yesterday? Why didn’t he tell me at all?

She couldn’t help it and also thought, Are you worried that I’ll be so nervous that I can’t sleep at all at night?

Xin Tian saw how Pu Tao’s mind was drifting so she pulled her aside. “This is the girl who has a good private relationship with Cloud Dweller. I got the information that Cloud Dweller is still single from her.”

From head to toe, Pu Tao was bitter and murmured with envy, “She has a good voice…” She is so cute.

“Put away your disappointed face. She got married the year before last. Don’t give yourself imaginary rivals.”

Pu Tao: “Huh? I don’t believe it.”

“She’s 29.” Xin Tian noticed how fast her expression changed. “Is that necessary? The corners of your lips have almost risen to the skies. Are you performing the face changes in Sichuan Opera?”

Pu Tao put her lips down and looked away. She did not try to explain herself.
