Born Optimist: [Shanzi, are you crazy? Did you write the script?]
Wen Shan: [Why are you telling me off? I just fell asleep. My Papa Nalan just went to the university to do something.]
Wen Shan: [I didn’t write the script. Papa Nalan wrote it. I just changed some terms.]
Born Optimist: [Those terms are the craziest.]
Mrs. Gu: [I’ve seen the script before. The only thing I know was that I don’t understand the world of straight-A students like you.]
Wen Shan: […]
Wen Shan: [Sis-in-law, you’re a mathematician and a banker. Don’t you think it’s a slap in the face for a banker to say something like that?]
Le Tian, “…”
This was a world where geniuses liked to be humble.
Mrs. Gu: [How’s Xin Ya doing?]
The corner of Le Tian’s mouth twitched. She did not dare tell her that your dear Xin Ya had been scolded to tears.
Born Optimist: [Pretty good.]
Mrs. Gu: [Le Tian, help me take care of Xin Ya. If you can help her with her lines, help her.]
Wen Shan: [I feel that when Xin Ya has definitely met her benefactor when she met Sis-in-law. That lil white lotus[1] really doesn’t know what to do.]
Mrs. Gu: […]
Mrs. Gu: [Go sleep. Otherwise, you won’t be able to sleep anymore when your Papa Nalan comes home.]
Born Optimist: [What time is it now? It’s still so early and yet, you’re already sleeping. Don’t tell me you’re pregnant, Shanzi?]
Mrs. Gu: [Really?]
Wen Shan: [I’d love that. My plan to poke holes in the condom got discovered. What a tragedy.]
Mrs. Gu: [Why doesn’t my brother want children?]
Queen Fei: [Why? That’s because it’s best never having those squishy creatures.]
Mrs. Gu: [Scram!]
Wen Shan: [Scram now!]
Born Optimist: [What else can I say?]
Queen Fei: [I’m telling the truth, but you guys won’t listen. Didn’t I tell you that I’m too bored in the office? I just want to add a punching bag in the office and everyone looks like they’re scared to death. Why is that?]
Mrs. Gu: [You might as well add a shooting target and a gun.]
Queen Fei: [Can I?]
Wen Shan: […]
Born Optimist: […]
Mrs. Gu: [I’ve sympathized with Big Brother Qian for a long time, really.]
On the first day of filming, Xin Ya was scolded until she could not even lift her head. It was mostly due to the lines, but she had to deal with her inability to focus due to the lines in the latter part of the filming.
In the end, Ding Junqi announced instantly that he was putting a hold on filming today.
Xin Ya stood where she was and pursed her lips as she looked at Ding Junqi, who looked like he was on the verge of throwing the script and leave.
Le Tian heard rumors that Ding Junqi was even more serious than the director on set. This was also the main reason why he was able to become Best Actor. However, this was the first time she actually saw him lose his temper. Actually, it was quite scary.
“Mr. Gu, why don’t we put this aside first? When Xin Ya and Master Ding get familiar with each other, we can come back…”
Gu Juexi raised his hand and refused.
“This part is done. You don’t have to worry about the rest. Don’t worry. This way, Xin Ya will be able to learn a lot too. It’s not a bad thing.” Gu Juexi stood up and prepared to leave. “Sis Cat, bring Xin Ya back. Have a good rest today.”
“Yes, Mr. Gu.” Sister Mao nodded and walked over with Xin Ya. She consoled Xin Ya in a low voice. “There’s no such thing as not being scolded when filming with Mr. Ding. It’s nothing.”
Xin Ya nodded. She knew that. She was just too concerned that she was too stupid to remember her lines.
“Sis Xin Ya, here’s a lollipop for you. Every time my father scolds me, I’ll eat a lollipop, and I’ll feel better.” Ding Yuejia handed the lollipop to Xin Ya.
Xin Ya lowered her head and felt much better all of a sudden.
Ding Junqi had already removed his makeup and changed his clothes. He came over to look at Xin Ya, who was still standing there. He strode over and lifted Ding Yuejia up. “I’m sorry for just now. I couldn’t control myself. You can ask me if there’s anything you don’t understand.”
