When Gong Yu was immersed in memories, Yun Muxi woke up. She opened her eyes and saw Gong Yu's good-looking face. He was looking at her with a faint smile. Instead of her, he seemed to look at a very distant place through her.
Yun Muxi called gently, "Gong Yu?"
Gong Yu came to his sense and fixed his eyes on Yun Muxi. The little woman was more mature and calmer than ever before.
Gong Yu said tenderly, "Yeh, Are you awake? Niannian's fever has gone!"
Yun Muxi looked back at Niannian who was on the bed and reached out her hand to touch her forehead. She confirmed that the temperature was normal and gave a long sigh.
She turned his head and said to Gong Yu lightly, "Go to brush your teeth and wash your face. I'll give you a set of toiletry and prepare breakfast. You can go back after having breakfast."
Gong Yu shook his head lightly, "Don't bother. I will go back to wash my face and rinse my teeth. I can change my clothes because I will go to the filming site later."
Yun Muxi nodded as she said, "OK! You come and have breakfast later. Then, you can go to the filming site."
Then, she went to the kitchen.
...
When she prepared the breakfast, the doorbell rang. As she opened the door, Gong Yu looked refreshing after grooming.
"Come and eat! I just completed the breakfast, so the dishes are still hot," Yun Muxi said softly.
Gong Yu was stupefied for a while because he longed for such a sweet scene. He walked to the dining table and sat down, saying lightly, "Is Niannian not awake yet?"
Yun Muxi shook her head as she said quietly, "She's still sleeping! Don't worry about her and let her sleep on. Let's eat and I've left dishes for her!"
Gong Yu nodded and murmured, "Seventh Brother just called. He told me that the Director said that all the staff would have two days off. They will discuss the female protagonist and choose the right person again. So, you can stay at home with Niannian these two days."
Yun Muxi answered in a soft tone and they continued to have breakfast quietly.
Suddenly, Niannian's shout came from the bedroom, "Mummy... Mummy..."
Yun Muxi put down her bowl and chopsticks and ran to the bedroom. Gong Yu followed her closely.
Yun Muxi asked kindly as she entered the door, "My dear, are you awake? Are you still feeling awful?"
Niannian shook her head lightly and showed a lovely smile. When she saw Gong Yu behind Yun Muxi, her eyes shined brilliantly. She spoke, "Father Yu, you're also here! I dreamed of you just now!"
Gong Yu strode to the bed and rubbed her head gently with his big hands, revealing a faint smile at corners of the mouth. Niannian opened her short arms and asked Gong Yu to hug her. It was estimated that nobody could resist her cute look. Gong Yu chuckled, held her in his arms, and rubbed her hair with ardent love.
Feeling that she was neglected, Yun Muxi touched her forehead helplessly. "Is Niannian going to abandon me, her biological mother?" To look for Niannian's attention, Yun Muxi said, "Niannian, go to wash and have breakfast. The dishes are still hot. I specially cooked your favorite shredded-chicken vegetable porridge."
Niannian did not reply to her but said with her arms around Gong Yu's neck. "Father Yu, did you have breakfast? The shredded-chicken vegetable porridge is very delicious. Let's eat together!"
Gong Yu nodded as he said, "Mmm, it's really delicious. I've almost eaten one bowl. Niannian, hurry to wash and let's eat together."
Niannian nodded, jumped off his arms pleasantly, and ran to the restroom. Gong Yu followed her closely.
Yun Muxi was speechless at Niannian's "abandonment". She turned to pick up her mobile phone on the bedside table and turned it on.
Several missed calls, a short message, and several Wechat messages appeared on the phone.
The missed calls were from Gu Yuxuan and Mou Yichen. Then, Yun Muxi called them back respectively. Gu Yuxuan said, "Sorry, my phone was out of power yesterday. I see the missed call this morning." Yun Muxi told her what had happened yesterday. "Niannian's all right now, so don't worry about her. I'm free these two days, so I can take care of her and you need not come here. Please write your paper at home securely."
Then, she called Mou Yichen back. He did not know that Niannian was ill. He said, "I will come back from abroad tonight. I will come and see Niannian tomorrow." He also asked about the mother and the daughter's recent situation. Niannian's fever had gone, so Yun Muxi did not tell him her illness, for fear that he would get worried.
Subsequently, she read the short message, which was from Director Zhao. He informed her to have a rest for two days.
Lastly, she read the Wechat messages, which were from Lu Yang. There were several simple greetings and two humorous jokes. Yun Muxi did not reply to him. She put down the phone, walked out of the bedroom, and served dinner to them.
...
--
After Gong Yu and Yun Muxi left the filming site,
Ding Sisi was hard hit by Yun Muxi's excellent performance, which was like a loud slap in her face. She was conceited and self-satisfied all the time, but now she was frustrated. She was not convinced and began to resent Yun Muxi.
Originally, Ding Sisi was very concerned about the female protagonist. After all, this play was directed by Zhao Yi. If an actor had an opportunity to act in his play, he or she would have achieved half of success. Although she did not care about the chance anymore based on her current reputation, she would be even better if she could play in Zhao Yi's play. Perhaps she could become the Best Actress of the Year by virtue of this play.
There was another reason, which was the most important, was Gong Yu. She cared about the female protagonist, but she did not have to act in the play. Even so, there would be a lot of good resources for her. Thus, she could win the Best Actress of the Year by virtue of other resources.
However, when she saw Gong Yu for the first time, she was fascinated by him. Despite she was immune to handsome guys, she fell in love with Gong Yu. Like a little girl, she felt that her heart skipped a beat. Thus, she wanted to get the female protagonist with high aspiration, in order to get closer to Gong Yu. When He Xin talked with her agent about cooperation, she put her pride aside and ignored the warning presented by He Xin. However, Yun Muxi appeared halfway to rob her role and her man. Ding Sisi felt very annoyed.
Her buddies were shocked by what they just saw. That was not how it was planned. What happened? The woman who did a live report even stopped the broadcast.
The coquettish woman spoke first, "Sisi, I never thought that the little scriptwriter was pretty good at that! Obviously, she turned against you to rob your role. She is lack of self-knowledge. Not to mention appearance and acting skill, her background is inferior to yours. How dare she go against you? I think she is getting tired of living!"
Ding Sisi was very angry, so the woman said those words to flatter her. Actually, she was also stunned by Yun Muxi. But the most important thing was to please Ding Sisi.
The other women also echoed her views. "You're right! She is a fox spirit and has an exaggerated opinion of her abilities!"
"I will gossip her on the internet."
"Right, let's search her on the internet. I don't think we can't find her gossip. Such a woman is certainly not innocent!"
"Right, right! If it doesn't work, we can find some paparazzi to follow her. Perhaps they can get breaking news!"
"Yes, that's right! I happen to know a paparazzo. I will get in touch with him later!"
Hearing her sisters' words, Ding Sisi was less sad. She said nothing, indicating that she was acquiescent. She could handle with her with the help of these people. Ding Sisi was expecting things to turn out as she wished, so she did not notice Zhao Yi passing her by.
Zhao Yi happened to hear all the women' words, and he looked bad. He angrily rebuked, "Who are you? Who let you come to my filming site? You don't know the film needs to be kept secret during shooting. If you let out a secret, I will sort you out!"
They cast a look for help at Ding Sisi. She asked them to come, so she should protect them if something bad happened. The woman who did a live report trembled in fear. It was too late to delete the live video for her.
Before Ding Sisi spoke, Zhao Yi indignantly denounced again. This time, he rebuked Ding Sisi directly.
"Ding Sisi, I've heard what you talked about. Before you joined the film crew, I've specially told you that you must be well-behaved. I never expected that you brought those blighters here. If I see any false reports on Xiao Xi on the internet or entertainment news, don't blame on me then. If something bad has happened to Xiao Xi today, I will blame you too! Hum..."
Zhao Yi finished talking and went away. Only a few people looked at each other in speechless despair. They never expected that Zhao Yi would let Ding Sisi lose face.
Yun Muxi's performance created a sensation in the film crew, giving rise to various discussions. They almost praised and worshipped her. She should be the most glamorous female protagonist in the crew, but now she was belittled as worthless. What's more, Zhao Yi disregarded her feelings, so she burned with anger as her face turned alternately blue and white.
Ding Sisi could not stay in the crew and walked away angrily. "I've kept the hatred in my heart, I will certainly pay off old scores!" Her sisters also left by following her.
Ding Sisi gnashed the teeth in anger. "Hum... Yun Muxi, I will show you what I can do! If I can't let you feel as if you are not living, I will not be surnamed Ding!"
...
Zhao Yi called He Xin and the Assistant Director Wang Hao to a small meeting room. He said first, "What's your idea about the character Zhen Ai?" Wang Hao said with a little excitement, "Today, Yun Muxi's performance is so extraordinary. I'm stunned by her. At ordinary times, she is too common. To my surprise, she has such a beautiful appearance and wonderful acting skills." He Xin also agreed with a nod. "Xiao Xi was well done. Unexpectedly, her performance is several levels higher than Ding Sisi's performance several days ago. Ding Sisi indeed has a good foundation but that was a few years ago. In these two years, she is somewhat overproud and she doesn't act as seriously as before. This time, she is obviously excessive." Director Zhao nodded and said hesitantly, "Today, Xiao Xi's performance is really outstanding. But, I'm worried that her performance will not be stable because she is not a professional. If she just outdoes
Yun Muxi looked around to search in the crowd. Indeed, she found a man who looked like a paparazzo. The man was taking photos of Gong Yu and Niannian. It seemed that the man also felt her line of sight. When he turned his head, he looked at her eye to eye. He realized that he had been found and ran away through the crowd. Yun Muxi ran after him, but because the paparazzo was relatively professional, he was not seen again. Yun Muxi didn't catch up with him, so she hurried back to the amusement park and found Gong Yu and Niannian. With a sullen look, she whispered to Gong Yu, "We'd better go quickly. I just found a person sneaking around like a paparazzo. I'm afraid that you have been secretly photographed!" Upon hearing that, Gong Yu looked somber. After pondering for a moment, he took out his mobile phone to call Seventh Brother. On the second ring, the phone had been connected. "Hello! Gong Yu, where are you? I didn't see you at your house!"
Yun Muxi responded calmly," In addition to communication, I also studied computer programming in college. Actually, I received a double degree." Generally speaking, liberal arts students were bad at science, while science students were weak in liberal arts. A few people were good at both liberal arts and science. Obviously, Yun Muxi not only studied both liberal arts and science, but also did well in both. He had heard that she was a Straight A Student in University Z, but he never thought that she was not only a quick learner, but also a super scholar-tyrant. Even those students who majored in computer programming in the school might not be able to be hackers, but she, who minored the subject, could achieve this level easily and surpassed a large number of professional students. Seventh Brother looked at her in amazement again. His eyes were full of admiration. Before long, a black screen appeared on her computer, with a progress bar in the middle, in
Yun Muxi could feel the cool touch of Gong Yu's lips, with a familiar and faint scent. In a flash, she felt a shocking thunder exploded in her mind, and then everything went blank with thin smoke shrouded. When Yun Muxi was still at a loss, Gong Yu reached his hand to hold Yun Muxi's back of her head and deepened this gentle kiss. Yun Muxi did not know how tempting it was to Gong Yu. But now Yun Muxi herself "tumbled into his lap", so it should not be to blame Gong Yu, "the beast". Gong Yu kissed her tenderly. The flesh and sweet scent of love infused into his mouth. He felt never enough to kiss this pretty woman... Yun Muxi's head had gone blank completely and was bombarded by Gong Yu's sweetness and tenderness, which made her hard to return to herself. His heart was tempted easily by the accident. Seventh Brother rang off the phone and walked out of the bedroom, but he froze immediately. What's the matter now? They were
It was undeniable that Ding Sisi was clever indeed. She could catch the major suspect in the short conversation. Ding Sisi picked up the phone again and dialed Zhao Yuyan. When the phone got through, Ding Sisi ordered immediately, "Yuyan, find some online supporters to spread the topic that Yun Muxi had a child, and say that she quit her first year of college because she was being kept as a mistress by a rich and powerful people. The principal wife then found her and she was chased out. She was pregnant then and insisted on giving birth to the child, even tried to take advantage of the child to scramble for some benefit, but the rich and powerful people didn't even want to acknowledge her. She had to keep them to herself and became a single mother. And now she wants to seduce an idol to start over again! You just do what you're told." Zhao Yuyan was astounded at it and asked with doubt, "Dear me! It's the biggest news! Sisi, how did you know that?"
The more Zhao Yi thought about it, the angrier he became. Soon, he started to list out Ding Sisi's bad behaviors. "That day she brought someone to the filming scene and some stranger even recorded our acting and broadcasted it live! That's absolutely... luckily I found out on time and got it down before it spread. If not, how is this film going to sell if it's already leaked before we filmed anything! And now this kind of thing happens! She's not that good at acting, but is doing quite a good job at coming up with all these ideas!" After which, Zhao Yi snorted and continued. "Hmph! I cannot stand this Ding Sisi any longer! Go and talk to her manager immediately to break the contract. We have the evidence online and the video points to her directly. Not only did she leak confidential details, but also adversely affected the filming crew! Hence, not only will I ask to break the contract, but I will also make her pay the fee! Since she dared to mess with me, I'll
Yun Muxi was startled at the way the two of them looked at her as if they saw a ghost. She asked with much confusion, "Why are you guys looking at me like that?" Seventh Brother regained his composure and acted as if nothing happened. "Haha, why did you call me?" Yun Muxi answered casually, "I want to ask you where are the plates. I made spaghetti, the food is ready." Seventh Brother and Gong Yu let out a sigh of relief after hearing that. Seventh Brother then walked into the kitchen and pulled out some plates from a drawer. Yun Muxi made spaghetti, a salad, and creamy mushroom soup. Although they were simple, they looked no different from those served in restaurants. Seventh Brother could not help but compliment her. "Wow, Xiao Xi, your cooking is really good! Whoever marries you is a lucky dude!" After speaking, he looked at Gong Yu with a meaningful gaze. Yun Muxi remained silent and only smi
Yun Muxi was even more flustered by his gaze. She said hurriedly, "I'll just stick on a band-aid." Mou Yichen let go of her finger and placed both hands on her shoulders. He looked at her seriously and said, "Xiao Xi, let me take care of the both of you, okay?" Yun Muxi pretended to misinterpret his intention. She laughed, "Haha, you've always been taking care of us! You've already done more than enough for us!" Then, she gently pushed away his hands, walked to the coffee table and began to search for a band-aid. Mou Yichen knew that Yun Muxi understood what he meant but chose to deliberately deny it and pretend to not understand. However, this unintentional rejection hurt his heart even more. He looked at Yun Muxi wrap her wound with a faint sorrowful face. For so many years, although he had a good relationship with Yun Muxi, it remained there. He had never managed to walk into her heart. Mou Yichen smiled. It was a s
