Chapter 121 Sister Tao’s Wish
The good news from the Potala Palace Square spread back, and everyone was sending congratulatory messages.
In Potala Palace Square, sunlight streamed across the ancient cobblestone pavement. Li Fugui and Xiao Taojie were immersed in the solemnity and tranquility of this sacred place. Xiao Taojie, dressed in a simple long dress, her skirt gently ruffling in the breeze, gazed with awe at the magnificent architecture of the Potala Palace. Li Fugui stood quietly beside her, his eyes filled with endless affection and companionship for Xiao Taojie.
Just then, Sister Xiaotao's phone suddenly vibrated, shattering the tranquility. She picked it up and saw a message from home. Sister Xiaoyu's voice on the other end of the line was filled with uncontrollable excitement: "Xiaotao, did you know? Your TV series 'Do You Know?' is a hit! Everyone's talking about Xiaoliu now! The ratings are skyrocketing, and the character Xiaoliu is incredibly popular online!"
Xiao Tao was stunned at first, as if she couldn't believe her ears. Then a bright smile spread across her face, tears of excitement gleaming in her eyes. This drama, from writing to investing, had amassed so much of her heart and soul. She had closely followed the entire process, from initial casting to the intense filming and the lengthy post-production phase. She had watched Xiao Yu navigate countless challenges and trials, and she held onto her heartfelt anticipation for its immense success. Now, her dream had come true, and her joy surged like a flood.
Xiaoliu is a striking character in "Do You Know?", possessing a resilient, intelligent, and reserved personality. Having lost her mother at a young age, she faced neglect in the Sheng family, leading to a difficult life. Yet, this hardship forged her fortitude and perseverance. At school, she remained humble and diligent, never crying or clamoring for favor when wronged. She kept her brilliance to herself, waiting only for the right moment to shine, showcasing her intelligence.
Xiaoliu is meticulous and strategic in handling matters within the family. Despite Molan's secret affairs and Rulan's impulsive actions, she deftly navigates them, protecting herself while subtly defusing crises. In relationships, she maintains a clear mind and respects herself, refusing to be easily seduced by sweet talk. She seeks a loyal and stable partner, and in her marriage, she maintains her integrity, remaining independent and self-reliant, shouldering the responsibilities of the mistress of the household and calmly navigating the ups and downs of the family.
Li Fugui watched Xiao Tao's expression change and quickly guessed the reason. A delighted smile crossed his face. He walked over, shook Xiao Tao's hands tightly, and said, "Xiao Tao, congratulations! Your hard work has finally paid off. I knew this drama would be a huge hit. Your novel is so brilliant, and your character is sure to be beloved by the audience. This is an honor you deserve, and I'm truly proud of you!"
Sister Tao looked up at Li Fugui's sincere eyes, her heart deeply moved. "Fugui, without your constant support and encouragement, I wouldn't have been able to persevere until now. During the scriptwriting process, whenever I encountered difficulties and wanted to give up, it was you and Mom who were by my side, giving me strength and letting me pick myself up again. This success is also due to you."
Li Fugui shook his head gently and said softly, "No, Xiaotao. This is the result of your own hard work and talent. You have invested so much in this drama, writing the script and refining it countless days and nights, and you have been meticulous in every detail. Your persistence and perseverance are the key to the success of this drama."
Sister Tao recalled every moment of the scriptwriting process, the long nights spent poring over a single scene, and the actors who persevered despite injuries on set, as if each had received the most beautiful response in this moment. "I remember one scene where I couldn't quite find the feel for it and rewrote it countless times. I was incredibly frustrated and felt like a burden to the entire crew. It was you who patiently analyzed the role with me, and your companionship that helped me find my direction again."
Li Fugui smiled and said, "I simply believe you can do it. You possess a passion and talent for writing. As long as you overcome your inner obstacles, you will be able to present the most perfect work. And you have indeed done so. You make every look and every movement of the actors in the play so natural and vivid, and you have drawn the audience into that wonderful world."
Tourists came and went around, unaware that the couple was immersed in a unique joy. In the Potala Palace Square, the sound of prayer wheels rose and fell, as if chanting blessings for Sister Tao's success.
"Sister Xiaotao, we should celebrate properly. In front of this sacred Potala Palace Square, at this joyful moment, let us cheer for your success together." Li Fugui suggested.
Xiao Tao nodded, her eyes twinkling. They arrived at a small Tibetan shop on the edge of the square, where the rich aroma of Tibetan incense filled the air. Li Fugui ordered a steaming pot of butter tea and some Tibetan snacks, including sweet barley cakes and delicious yak jerky.
"This butter tea is just like our mood at the moment, rich and mellow. Xiaotao, take a sip and feel this blessing from the plateau." Li Fugui handed a cup of butter tea to Sister Xiaotao.
Sister Tao took it and took a sip. The unique flavor spread on her tongue. She smiled and said, "Well, it's really special. It's just like how I feel now. Although this drama is a hit, I know that this is just a new starting point on my creative journey. I will continue to work hard and live up to the audience's expectations."
Li Fugui looked at Sister Xiaotao's determined eyes and admired her even more. "I believe in you, Xiaotao. You will definitely have more wonderful works in the future. And I will always be by your side, accompanying you through every important moment."
As they savored the delicious food, they imagined the future. Sister Tao said, "I hope to challenge myself with more different types of novels and try different styles in the future. I don't want to be limited to one creative mode; I want to constantly push myself."
Li Fugui nodded in agreement. "You can do it. Your potential is unlimited. As long as you have a dream, pursue it. I will fully support you, both in life and in your career."
On this special day at the Potala Palace Square, Xiao Tao not only reaped tremendous career success but also felt the deep love and support of Li Fugui. Their love grew stronger on this sacred land, like that endless pot of butter tea, warm and enduring.
As the sun gradually set, the Potala Palace was stained golden, and the entire square was shrouded in a dreamy afterglow. Li Fugui held Xiao Tao's hand and strolled across the square. Their figures were stretched out in the sunset, as if telling a beautiful story of dreams, love, and perseverance. This story will be passed down forever along with the existence of the Potala Palace, becoming the most precious memory of their lives.
