CHAPTER SIXTEEN: I WANT TO BE HIS SUPPORT SYSTEM

JIANG HAO'S POV

I didn't know how to react after and opened my eyes and Sang Yi was so close to my face..she had her hands on my headsets so I figured she was trying to take them off but it still had my heart beating fast...I stared at her and I must say my heart did flutter..." You awake.." she said as she stood up quickly," I didn't mean to...." she said," It's okay..." I replied," Well Nanny lee had asked me to call you for dinner." she said," I'll go and tell her you coming." she said as she rushed out...." What was that?" I asked myself as I placed my hand across my chest and smiled.

Now that I had settled the issues to do with the relationship and all, my top most priority was getting a role in Mr Choi's movie which was going to be easy considering the fact that Han Chen was fighting for the same role too and him and I don't see eye to eye," So you have ads.. events and...also a variety show.." Ai man said as she read me my schedule," I haven't said yes to the variety show.." I replied as she glared at me," But you need to say yes to it..shooting will begin in a month's time.." she said as I kept quiet and continued scrolling in my phone," Iam not the only one who has a say in this...Sang Yi does too and when she says she's comfortable with it..then I'll take it on." I said as Ai man reassured me on getting her to accept," By the way..I need you to add one more thing on my schedule.." i said as she stared at me curiously," And what's that?" she asked as I cleared my throat and showed her the script," Iam auditioning for the main role in Mr Choi's new project..." I said as she picked up the script and took a closer look," So it isn't finalised yet.." she asked," It's not but the auditions are in a few weeks..I just need to prepare for the role thoroughly..I'll get it." I said confidently," You well aware of the fact that Han Chen is auditioning for this role too?" she asked.." Iam ...why?" I asked," Han Chen won best male actor in the action genre for the recent awards..he's more skilled than you in that sector." she explained as I felt a little bit disappointed," And he won that for only participating in one movie..." I said," I've never tried any other genre except romance..but if given a chance I can perfect my self in the action and noir genre...so please trust me on this one." I explained as she stared at me hesitantly," Well everyone is going to have there eyes on you...don't blow it." she urged me," I'll insert that in your schedule then." she concluded as she left," I can do it..." I said as I picked up the schedule to get ready for my role.

" The main character in the series is a street fighter..so I need to be well versed with some Street fighting techniques..." I said to Eric," So help get me a trainer...some one who can help me prepare for the role." I added," Well that won't be a problem...I know some one.." he said as I stared at him curiously.

Turns out that the street fighter he was talking about was his uncle Fei who retired...he's uncle was of good use but he also commented on me saying am soft and that I needed to work on my attitude towards...the fight, he trained for days and days before I could perfect my self enough for the role," Here." said Eric as he handed me a bottle of water and a towel," Aren't you tired..?" he asked," I mean you didn't need to do this much for a role.." he added," I also want to loosen up a bit but I feel more pressured each time I do...I don't want to be perfect...I just want to be good enough for the role." I explained as he agreed," Give me some more minutes...I'll train more and get back to you.." I said as he left.

This role meant alot for me...and seeing all the discouraging comments online doubting if I could actually act the role forced me to work even harder..I had so many people to prove my self too and I wasn't going to back down any time soon.

SANG YI'S POV

" What right do they have to comment these..." Alia said as we stared at the mean comments under the post saying that they were rumouring to cast Jiang Hao as the new main role for the New action thriller series ( RE- BORN)," Is this why he is working so hard lately.." I said under my breath as I recalled how he goes out quickly and even when he's around..he's reciting lines and getting into character.." These guys aren't his true fans." Alia continued as she replied to every mean comment about Jiang Hao," Can you escort me to the Market..?" I asked Alia," Out of the blue..what do you want from there..?" she asked," And most importantly why would you go there..?" she asked again," I want to buy some boneless fish and make some soup.. tonight." I said as stared at me," For Jiang Hao?" she asked as I brushed her off," Well I don't mind escorting you to the market but you are technically a celebrity lately being the wife of one..and many people will want to take pictures of you and come up with rumours about you...so how about we send someone to get them for us." she suggested as she did make a valid point," Who should we send then?" I asked my self," Leave that to me.." she said as she picked up her phone and rushed outside.

I closed up the cafe early and came back to make fish soup for Jiang Hao..I figured that he needed it seeing how he was stressed out with his role and the negative comments from the haters," Are you sure you can handle it yourself?" Nanny lee asked as I reassured her," Well I have prepared all the ingredients for you..so make sure you call me incase of anything.." she said as I got ready to prepare the soup...My mom how taught me how to make this when I was still in highschool that's before she became ill and so I remembered each step accurately..I prepared the soup and waited for Jiang Hao's return but he wasn't coming back..I even put it some where so it wouldn't get cold as I waited.." Mrs Sang Yi..why don't you go and get some rest in your room..I'll inform you when he comes back." Nanny lee said as I insisted on staying on the couch to wait for him....I tried watching a series but dosed off instead.

" I'll call you again tomorrow." I said over the phone with Eric as I went into the house..it was late so I figured everyone was sleeping untill I saw Sang Yi sleeping on the couch in the sitting room, the television was on so I figured she must have dosed off..she even had the remote in her hands..." You back.." Nanny lee said as I gestured her to lower her voice," She insisted on waiting up for you since she had made soup..." she said as I stared back at her and smiled," I'll heat up the soup...maybe you can carry her to the room to sleep." Nanny lee said as I lifted her up to her room, as I placed her on her bed and tried to stand up, I noticed that she was holding onto my jacket tightly," Have some sleep.." I said as I carefully untangled her fingers and tacked her in, I then went to try the soup she made and it was indeed really nice.

SANG YI'S POV

I woke up in a hurry after I realised I remembered the soup I had prepared for Jiang Hao the previous night.." Good morning Nanny lee." I said as I looked around the kitchen.." Are you looking for something..?" she asked," Well the soup...?" I asked as she smiled," Well Jiang Hao came back late last night and you had fallen asleep..I heated the soup for him and made sure he had it before he went to bed." she replied as I felt relieved," You should go freshen up and have break fast." she said as I left for my room.

After showering, I checked my phone and found a message « THANK YOU FOR THE SOUP...IT WAS TASTY» It read..and I couldn't help smile and read it a few times more...
