In the production team of ‘Interweaving Night.’
“Ahchoo!”
Xia Qinghuan, who was waiting on standby, couldn’t help but sneeze. Then, her shoulder felt heavy, and a cashmere blanket covered her body. Chen Jin’s voice followed. “It’s getting colder every day. Put on a blanket at all times. Don’t catch a cold.”
“I understand. Thank you, Brother Jin!” Qinghuan smiled. She knew she couldn’t fall sick. Once she did, it would affect her performance. She was the female lead. If she caused a delay in the filming progress, she would feel bad.
It had been a while since the filming for ‘Interweaving Night’ started, and all the production team members had already adapted to the current situation. Although the weather was cold, fortunately, the place they were filming at was the film base. After leaving the film base, they could return to the hotel. It was much better than other production teams who could not afford to rent a venue.
“Cut!”
At this moment, the assistant director behind the camera called for a stop. He poked his head out from behind the monitor and said, “This scene is over. Everyone, take a rest.”
This scene was Jian Yiyi’s scene. As soon as it stopped, she dragged her tired body towards the rest area. Unlike Qinghuan, who was surrounded by people when she got off the stage, after Qiao Shuyi left the production team, Jian Yiyi was alone.
Her manager, Dong Jie, had to focus on Yuan Guang, so usually, Jian Yiyi would look for Dong Jie if she had something. Dong Jie rarely took the initiative to look for Jian Yiyi.
Therefore, sometimes, seeing her alone made people feel a little sad. However, for Jian Yiyi, it was better for her to be alone than for her mother to accompany her.
“Yiyi!”
At this moment, Wang Mingxiao, who had been watching Jian Yiyi filming, suddenly ran towards her with a thermal lunch box in his hand.
Over the past few days, Wang Mingxiao was the closest to Jian Yiyi in the production team. At first, he was a little embarrassed when Qiao Shuyi was around, but after Qiao Shuyi left, he became even more passionate. Whenever he had time, he would approach Jian Yiyi.
Jian Yiyi would always disguise herself as an innocent and kind girl, so she would smile and give feedback to those who approached her. Wang Mingxiao was no exception. However, only Jian Yiyi knew how sincere she herself was.
“Mingxiao!” Jian Yiyi quickly smiled. After this period of interaction, she had already called Wang Mingxiao by his nickname.
“Yiyi, I have chicken soup here. Let’s drink it together. It’s still hot!” Wang Mingxiao held the thermal lunch box and looked at Jian Yiyi expectantly.
Jian Yiyi was stunned for a moment before revealing a pitiful and difficult expression. “Mingxiao, drink it yourself! Uncle Yu spends so much effort to make these soups for you every day. If he sees you sharing them with me, he will be unhappy.”
The Uncle Yu Jian Yiyi was talking about was Wang Mingxiao’s uncle and manager, Yu Xiaofeng.
Yu Xiaofeng was indeed watching Wang Mingxiao closely. Moreover, he had always encouraged Wang Mingxiao to interact more with Xia Qinghuan to improve their relationship. However, Wang Mingxiao liked Jian Yiyi, so he didn’t listen to Yu Xiaofeng. As time passed, Yu Xiaofeng turned a blind eye and couldn’t be bothered. However, he explicitly prohibited him from dating Jian Yiyi!
Wang Mingxiao wanted to, but he felt he was not worthy of Jian Yiyi. In his heart, Jian Yiyi was perfect. He felt inferior and didn’t dare to confess.
“It’s just chicken soup. It’s not something expensive. Why wouldn’t you dare to drink it?” Wang Mingxiao didn’t care. He immediately unscrewed the lid of the lunch box and continued, “Good friends should share things. Don’t be so polite to me!”
As he spoke, he poured a bowl and handed it to Jian Yiyi. “Come, drink it while it’s hot. I know you girls don’t like things that are too oily. This soup isn’t oily at all. It’s especially delicious!”
Jian Yiyi reached out to take it and looked sincerely touched. “Mingxiao, in the production team, you’re the only one who’s really good to me. Thank you.”
These words made Wang Mingxiao’s heart flutter.
“Yiyi, don’t say that. Auntie Qiao isn’t around, and you’re in the production team yourself. We’re friends, and I’m older than you. It’s only right for me to take care of you,” Wang Mingxiao said and couldn’t help but reveal a handsome smile.
Jian Yiyi nodded gratefully and took a sip of the chicken soup in her hand. To be honest, the taste was average. As Jian Changsheng’s daughter, she had tasted all kinds of delicious soup. However, she still widened her eyes in surprise and said with satisfaction, “Wow, it’s delicious, Mingxiao!”
When Wang Mingxiao heard this, the smile on his face deepened. Jian Yiyi felt that the soup he gave her was delicious. To him, it was the most satisfying thing.
The two of them sat at the side of the set and chatted while drinking soup.
“Yiyi, I heard that you and Xia Qinghuan are classmates? Why doesn’t your relationship look good?” Wang Mingxiao asked in a low voice. He had been curious about this question for a long time, but he didn’t dare to ask.
In the production team, Xia Qinghuan’s relationship with everyone was not bad, especially with the male lead, Yuan Guang, and the second female lead, Du Wei.
Because Yuan Guang was the male lead, he had the most scenes with Qinghuan. Moreover, the two of them were newcomers supported by the same company. Yuan Guang was modest and gentlemanly, and he knew his limits when handling things. Qinghuan liked to chat with him because she felt comfortable.
On the other hand, Du Wei became friends with Qinghuan after entering the production team. Du Wei was the second female lead and played a policewoman investigating a serial murder case. The time Qinghuan noticed her was the day of the opening ceremony.
At that time, Jian Yiyi wanted to quietly snatch Du Wei’s photo spot and pretended to talk to Qinghuan to push Du Wei to the side. In the end, Du Wei didn’t swallow her anger. Instead, she said to Jian Yiyi’s face that this was the second female lead’s position.
At that time, Xia Qinghuan liked Du Wei’s straightforward personality because she felt she was very similar to her. Later, after interacting with her, she realized that Du Wei was indeed a straightforward person. Therefore, the two of them had the same personality and quickly became best friends in the production team.
As for her classmate, Jian Yiyi, Wang Mingxiao rarely saw the two of them talk. Other than when they were filming, there was almost no communication.
Jian Yiyi immediately revealed a helpless smile and looked at Wang Mingxiao with a bitter expression. “It’s just that… she might not like me very much.”
“Why?” Wang Mingxiao asked in shock. Someone didn’t like such a beautiful and gentle girl like Jian Yiyi?
Jian Yiyi shook her head. “I don’t know, but I’m fine. I’m not money. How can I make everyone like me?”
