You were going to save me, we looked at each other with intense emotion. I practiced my lines over and over at home, and I cried over and over.

The sudden news has sent shockwaves through the entertainment industry.

Yesterday after work, you happily waved goodbye and said see you tomorrow? How come you're not coming today.

Xia Yuhe had prepared diligently for a crucial scene in the drama, where Wang Kai's character was set to reconcile with hers. She had practiced her lines and cried repeatedly, anticipating the emotional intensity of the scene. Upon arriving at the set, she was greeted with the news of Wang Kai's passing, initially struggling to believe it. She recalled their last interaction the previous evening, when he waved goodbye and said he'd see her the next day.

You're great!

She remembered Wang Kai's supportive nature, noting how he stayed late two days prior to watch her cry scene and offered a warm hug, praising her performance. They had planned to support each other through the remaining key scenes and celebrate with a meal after filming concluded. Now, with the drama nearing its end, the most important scene they were meant to share will never be completed, leaving Xia Yuhe heartbroken that their story will not have its intended happy ending.

Hey... Although filming is almost over, our story isn't finished yet. The scene you were looking forward to is today, I've memorized my lines, but you didn't come. This scene has no ending, we still have a happy ending that hasn't been fully acted out. How could you leave first.
