As the rest of the crew started to gather up the equipments and lights,Fung and I started to walk back to the mini van together, each surprisingly silent. On the way back to the hotel, sensing the sudden quietness between us, Fung initiated a conversation.
Fung : “Don’t you think she is silly for not telling him the truth?”
I : “Who?” (questioning Fung puzzlingly, then I quickly understood his question) “Oh, you mean my character Lily? No, I don’t think she’s silly. She was gonna die so she didn’t want him to be mourn over here. I mean, why start a relationship when you already know it’s not going to have good ending, right?”
Fung : “Well, nevertheless. If I were in Jake’s situation I would have wanted to know how Lily felt about me, even if she was gonna die.”
I : “Hehe, well as you know Novelist Wan Jiu-Hu is such sentimentalist woman. She always makes her characters so tragic and full of despair.”
Fung (sigh): “Yeah, enough about work. Thank goodness it’s over with, what a sad and tragic filming this time. I was afraid for a moment I would become Jake!” Then he gave nervous laugh.
I didn’t reply to Fung’s comment but just smiled back to him instead, I was afraid I would reveal too much if I talked any further.
Fung (sensing my reserveness, thankfully switched the topic): “So what is your plan after this?”
I : “Oh, I going back home and get some rest. It’s been months since I’ve seen my family.”
Fung: “Yah me too.”
With nothing else left to say, we both remained quite for the rest of the trip back to the hotel.
When we finally arrived at the hotel, I excused myself and bid farewell to our driver and went up to my room. Upon seeing that my luggage and clothes were already pack and cleaned up by my helper and there was nothing else to do so I went to the bed and lied down. I got my CD player back out from my bag and began to play Track #6 “Tell Him” from Celine’s CD again.
“I'm scared
So afraid to show I care
Will he think me weak
If I tremble when I speak
Oooh - what if
There's another one he's thinking of
Maybe he's in love
I'd feel like a fool
Life can be so cruel
I don't know what to do…”

As I lie there listening to the music, my mind kept thinking back to what Fung had said earlier in the van. “If I were in Jake’s situation I would have wanted to know how Lily felt about me…”
A light knock on the door woke me up from my sleep, as I looked on the side of the bed it was already 8PM. I must have fallen asleep. Quickly I went to wash my face and open the door. It was Fung. He was looking all fresh, shaved, showered and cleaned.
Fung : “Hey Qian, were you sleeping?”
I was about to burry my head in a hole for having him catch me like this : “Yeah, I must have overslept and oh my gosh it’s already 8PM! Everyone must have arrived at dinner already?”
Fung : “Yeah, I think so. They just called me and said they’re all waiting for us. They said they tried to call you but I guess you must have been asleep and not hear your cellphone ringing.”
“Oh Gosh I am sorry. I feel terrible. You go on ahead without me, I’ll take a cab to the restaurant later.” I quickly rushed him out of the door, “Can you tell them I’ll be there a bit late? Thanks!”
Fung stopped the door just in time before I could close it, said “I’m in no rush. I’ll just wait for you then.” Then he invited himself inside and walked into my room. “You don’t mind me waiting in your room do you? There are some news magazine media downstairs and I rather not wait there. I’m too tired to do any interviews today.”
“Uh... sure sure. you wait here I’ll be right back, I just need to freshen up.”
When I returned after 15 minutes, Fung was still sitting near the end of my bed.
Fung (looks up and smiled): “You ready?”
“Yeah, let’s go.”
“OK, Oh I must warn you the media is still here. So be ready.”
Fung couldn’t be anymore right, not only were there the local media but also some national media as well. Several people came up to and asked us some questions regarding the serie and we could only reply to them whatever we were allowed to reveal. After a few short minutes with the media, we realized that we were late for our meeting with the rest of the crew and had to excuse ourselves.
Fung: “Sorry folks, we’ve got an appointment to run. If you’ll excuse us, our transportation is waiting for us.”
Media 1: “Lam Fung and Li Qian, is it true about the rumors of you two dating during filming this serie?”
Fung kept ingorning the media and put his protective arms around me to rush me through the crowd. Thankfully, our transportation was already there waiting for us and we quickly waived goodbye to the news media and entered the car.
Fung (apologetically): "I'm sorry about that. It seems as though the media always like to pair me up with my female coworkers. They immediately think just because we work together that we must be dating each other.”
I: “Hehehe, you must be a very hot bachelor then and not without good reasons too! (I said jokingly). No harm is done so there’s no need to apologize.”
Fung (smiled shyly): “Hehehe, OK you can stop teasing me now. I am no hot bachelor!”
We both laughed it off and agreed to drop the subject.
