Chapter 599: She Could Not Smile

Some people even reached out to grab the fox.

In the blink of an eye, it shrank its tail. Then, the tiny white fox opened its eyes. They resembled crystal marbles, painted in the color of green tea. At times, you could almost see hexagonal snowflakes floating in the pupils.

Then, the little fox transformed into a little teenage girl of about 12 to 13 years old. She had a round face with some baby fat. Nonetheless, she was extremely pretty and as pure as snow.

The little fox played with its brothers and sisters on the snowy mountain, leading a carefree life. However, it was a very peculiar little fox. It liked the human realm, and it also loved hearing stories about it.

It was the most beautiful little fox on the entire snow mountain. It had snowy white fur and the prettiest, clearest pair of eyes. It had a very good temperament and was the most well-tempered little fox on the mountain. However, it had an eccentric character, and enjoyed watching the snowflakes fall silently as it fell asleep.

The old granny said that at the very least, the little fox could become an earth fairy. However, the little fox yearned to be a human instead. A human life was brief and never smooth-sailing. The human realm was imperfect too. And yet, it was what the little fox wished for.

The old granny said that this was the little fox’s fate.

It was its destiny, and it cannot be changed.

The little fox eventually left the mountain. As it ran ahead, its crystal-clear eyes were filled with longing for the human realm. It went ahead anyway, knowing that there was no turning back from this journey.

It may be born on the snowy mountain, but it grew up in the human realm.

The little fox had witnessed the pain, sickness and poverty of humanity. It used its blood to rescue everyone because it pitied them, but it became a normal human being instead.

Now, she too felt hunger, pain and cold.

She experienced countless ordeals as she learned how to be a human in the human realm. After becoming sisters with the county master’s daughter, she thought that they would treat her well. She had friends and found someone she liked. But ultimately, her affection was used against her in a cunningly concocted conspiracy against her.

Her eyes were dug out, and she was hunted down. A cavalry hunted her for a century, cantering through the dust.

The man in armor protected her, with a multitude of arrows piercing his back. When she turned her head around, there were only a pair of bloody hollows left. Two rivulets of bloody tears streamed from her pitch black eye sockets.

The general had lost his war horse and when it fell, it neighed with yearning for its master as tears fell from its eyes.

Yan Huan heard sniffling from the people around her. In fact, while sitting in the movie theatre, her eyes reddened because she too was moved by it. It was her reaction as a normal audience, not as Yan Huan or any actress in the film, or someone who had a role to play in it.

When the little fox dug out its heart, many people were alarmed.

It was then the time for revenge. The little fox was dressed in red, flashing its pair of scarlet eyes. At that moment, those bloodshot eyes were almost demonic.

The final ending took place on the huge snowy mountain yet again. A man was trudging ahead step by step in the raging snowstorm. He lowered his head and looked at the little fox in his arms. Then, he put his face next to its face.

“Xiao Bai, I have brought you home.”

The little fox chirruped, and her eyes were as clear as crystal. He continued to walk forward with the little fox in his embrace, braving the snowstorm, step by step.

The man suddenly stopped and hugged the little fox in his arms a little tighter.

“I will stay with you forever, until the day you remember me again.”

The last scene left for the audience was a trail of deep footsteps. As the snow continued to fall, there were no traces of them left.

At this point, the film came to an end. In the entire 126 minutes, none could be spared, and every scene could not be prolonged. The plot was compact and the story was fresh. Most importantly, the 3D effect was impressive.

Moreover, all of the main actors had good acting skills and were attractive. From costumes to make-up to cinematography, it was hard to find faults with the film.

Of course, the movie was not without its own flaws.

However, it was undoubtedly an outstanding movie. The audience who watched the film was deeply captivated, and some could not get enough of it.

On the first day of the new year, the reviews and box office results were both excellent. The first day’s box office reached 200 million. It was a good start.

It had greatly surpassed all of the other 2D films but its popularity was still growing, and the show times were also increasing. The movie theatres were not foolish, seeing it as a golden opportunity to make more money.

On the second day of the new year, in the midst of its growing popularity, it broke the domestic box office record. Its single day box office record was a staggering 520 million. This number greatly shocked Yan Huan and the people in the movie business.

In merely two days, ‘White Fox’ had accumulated about 700 million dollars in box office earnings. The number of movie goers would usually peak between the third and the fifth day. Yet, it was only the second day. Looking at the trend, no one could predict to what extent its box office would grow.

Yan Huan hugged a bolster and sat in a daze.

“What is it, are you unhappy?” Lu Yi walked over and sat beside her. “The movie is doing well, you shouldn’t be looking like this.”

“I should be.” Yan Huan tapped her fingers at the edge of her mouth and pulled them to the side. Yes, he was right. She should be smiling so hard that her mouth cramped.

“But I just can’t smile.” Yan Huan hugged the bolster in her arms tightly again. This felt unreal. Yes, it was unreal. This was all going so well. How could it be?

She had a hunch that the film would be popular, and many would want to watch it. However, it was unimaginable to her that it would create such crazy records.

On the third day, it had already broken the domestic box office record for the highest grossing film in a single day.

On the third day of the new year, ‘White Fox’ was showing in 60 percent of all the time slots of the major theatres. There were already more than five films showing during the new year, but ‘White Fox’ success had left only 40 percent of the showtimes for the other movies. Of course, many of these films had signed contracts with the theatres to protect their show times. Even then, their performances were crushed so hard by ‘White Fox’ that it would be impossible to come back from their losses.

Then, the box office results on the third day surpassed the records of the second day, reaching 550 million dollars.
