Chinese Entertainment 2017: Starting from the Top Writers

Chapter 475: The Subtle Stigma of the Sickly Gene

"Okay, you two, stop being polite. Let's talk about this over dinner tonight. We still have to continue filming."

"Chu Ran has your senior sisters who are also in the acting school. Go talk to them."

Seeing that the two of them had a conflicting aura, Lin Li raised his finger and pointed at Mao Xiaohui and said to Wang Churan.

"Okay, Director Lin, I'll go right away."

Wang Churan's expression relaxed, and he pursed his lips at Lin Li, looking aggrieved.

Then he turned around and his expression changed immediately. From an angle where Lin Li couldn't see, he gave Zhang Jingyi a calm and elegant smile.

"Jingyi, you guys continue filming while I go watch from the side."

The sound is like the collision of jade, clear and pleasant.

"Ok."

Zhang Jingyi narrowed her eyes and spoke in a faint voice.

"Well, come on."

Wang Churan smiled and clenched his fist towards her to cheer her on, then greeted Mao Xiaohui and others outside the venue with a warm attitude.

I don't seem to be okay, right?

Why are you so hostile to me?
And you, scumbag!

Everyone has followed the crew!

Zhang Jingyi felt indignant, and when she turned around and saw Lin Li's face, she became even more furious. She gave Lin Li a sidelong glance and walked away while seeing his innocent expression.

Lin Li was also a little confused. No, he just came to visit, why did he suddenly make you unhappy?

Also, this is only the second time you've met, why are you so angry?
Besides, doesn’t Chu Ran look quite well behaved?

After calming down, I continued shooting.

However, in the subsequent filming, as soon as the camera passed, Zhang Jingyi turned around and walked away, looking very angry, which made Lin Li quite helpless.

On the other side, Wang Churan took the initiative to pull Mao Xiaohui and a few others to chat. As a student of the Shanghai Theatre Academy, Mao Xiaohui also had a good impression of this beautiful schoolmate. For a while, several girls gathered together and formed a beautiful landscape.

The gossipy instinct of girls made Wan Peng and the others quickly realize that there was something fishy going on between Wang Churan and Lin Li, and they began to hint at her relationship with Lin Li.

Wang Churan neither confirmed nor denied it, and just chatted with them. This confused Mao Xiaohui and the others, but they could vaguely sense that the relationship between Wang Churan and Lin Li was definitely not just ordinary friends.

The last time the two of them appeared together at the Magnolia Awards, Lin Li also praised Wang Churan on stage, and it seemed like he was supporting her.

And Wang Churan is not a contracted artist of Nanxun Culture. It is a bit unreasonable to call him an ordinary friend when he is promoted so highly, right?

But deep down, they all prefer Zhang Jingyi. After all, although they have not been together for a long time, Zhang Jingyi's girl-next-door personality is still quite likable.

Besides, when they watched her interaction with Lin Li during the filming, they also felt like they were knocking heads with each other.

You know what, both of them are good, it’s really hard to choose.

Mao Xiaohui and the others began to compare the two people in their minds, and felt a little conflicted for a moment.

Today's shoot started a little late, just after seven o'clock. Lin Li announced the end of today's shoot. Amid shouts of "Thank you for your hard work, Director Lin", Lin Li checked the footage that had just been shot on the monitor and then stood up and walked towards Zhang Jingyi and the others who were already waiting.

"Director Lin, drink some water. You've worked hard."

When he got closer, Wang Churan came forward and handed him the purified water in his hand.

"Thank you Chu Ran."

"I'll arrange for everyone to try the local cuisine tonight. We have to try it when we come to Shanghai."

Lin Li took the water handed to him by Wang Churan, unscrewed the bottle, and looked around at everyone.

"no problem."

"Listen to Director Lin."

"We'll eat whatever Director Lin tells us to eat, hehe."

Mao Xiaohui and the others had no objection and spoke out.

Zhang Jingyi held the purified water in her hand tightly behind her back, and watched Lin Li in front of her pouring the water into his mouth.

She glanced at Wang Churan, who was smiling gently beside her, and sighed imperceptibly.

It seemed that she really didn't care enough about Lin Li. Apart from enjoying his thoughtfulness, she never gave him corresponding feedback.

In the afternoon, because of Wang Churan, she was a little angry with Lin Li and glared at him. Now thinking about it, she really shouldn't have done that.

After all, didn't I already know who he was?
Why should we create unpleasantness for the two of them during this short time they spend together on the crew?

If what she guessed was correct, Oda and the others would probably come to visit the set later. If she didn't adjust her mindset, she would probably have to look gloomy all day long.

But how did his relationship with Wang Churan begin? Was it after that dinner?
The only thing she remembered now was the bold Zhang Xueying, and the message Lin Li sent her, "But remember, you are different, I am here." She even took a screenshot of the chat record and put it in her album, looking through it from time to time.

She didn't notice any small moves between Lin Li and Wang Churan.

It seems that I have neglected something.

"In that case, let's go. The car is waiting outside."

Seeing that everyone had no objection, Lin Li waved his hand and arranged for them to get in the car.

He specially got in a car with Lin Yi and others, but when he saw Chu Ran actually got into the back seat next to Jing Yi with a smile on his face, his eyes twitched.

It shouldn't be a problem if these two sit together, right?
With an inexplicable feeling, the vehicle started and they began to move towards their destination.

In the car, Zhang Jingyi and Wang Churan each sat close to the windows. The night wind ruffled their hair, occasionally blowing on their pretty faces.

In front of them was a driver who was responsible for driving the crew. There was a partition between the front and back seats. If they didn't stop to listen, they couldn't hear what they were talking about in the back.

"You seem to have been wanting to tell me something."

In the silent atmosphere, Zhang Jingyi spoke first without even looking at her.

"Not really, I just wanted to take a look."

Wang Churan leaned his arm against the window to support his head, then turned around and looked at Zhang Jingyi's face unscrupulously, with an interested arc at the corner of his lips.

"Is there something on my face? Do you need to look at me like this?" Zhang Jingyi was not used to being looked at like this. Her facial expression was tense and her eyes looked straight at her.

"Not really. Although she's pretty, she's not as pretty as me."

"I just want to see what's so special about a girl that makes him treat her specially. So far... well, it seems like nothing special."

There was a provocation in Wang Churan's eyes. He raised his face slightly, and a hint of contempt immediately emerged.

"Does he know that you are like this in private? I see that you always act like a weak little white rabbit in front of him?"

Zhang Jingyi's face turned cold and she spoke in a icy voice.

She didn't expect that Wang Churan would be so aggressive.

"I definitely can't do this in front of him. He likes me who is all about him in my heart and eyes. I will do whatever he wants. But I'm not pretending. You can't imagine how much I love him."

"But you have to keep it a secret for me. You can't let him know that I talked to you about this."

Wang Churan licked the corner of his lips and smiled mysteriously and beautifully. There was a hint of fanaticism in his beautiful pupils.

"Why do you think I wouldn't tell him after he came to me and said all these things? Do you think I'm such an easy person to talk to?"

Zhang Jingyi's face became even colder and she looked at her expressionlessly.

"I just think that if you are the kind of person who would report even something like this to him, then you are not worthy of his love."

"Do you agree?"

"Princess?"

Wang Churan raised his eyes and looked at Zhang Jingyi. The expression on his face suddenly changed. The provocation and hidden cruelty were gone. Instead, there was an innocent and pure smile, which revealed a hint of pitifulness.

"Don't call me princess, it's awkward."

Zhang Jingyi looked deeply at Wang Churan in front of her, then turned to look out the car window.

She could already tell that something was not right with this person.

This was something she had never seen in anyone else, and she felt that there was no point in saying more, so it was better to remain silent.

"Heh~"

"If you don't like it, then don't call me."

Wang Churan chuckled, then turned to look out the window. The evening breeze ruffled her hair, adding a bit of mysterious charm to her.

I feel a lot better for some reason.

The corners of Wang Churan's lips curled up slightly, and her charming face was like a red spider lily blooming on the road to the underworld, beautiful and dangerous.

She ignored everything around her and immersed herself in her own joy.

Neither of them spoke again until the moment before getting off the car, when Wang Churan suddenly turned around and looked at Zhang Jingyi.

"Actually, I envy you very much. Or rather, they all envy you too."

"I hope you won't let him down."

Immediately, she opened the car door and got out.

"Are you jealous..."

“I also know that I am very lucky.”

Zhang Jingyi was stunned at first, then murmured in a low voice.

After a while, the driver reminded her again, and she patted her face, put on a nonchalant smile, and got off the car.

I like a lot, and I will tell him everything without reservation during this period of time.

There is a sense of indomitable spirit and tenacity in Zhang Jingyi's eyes, like a flower blooming alone in the wilderness, who still holds her head high even in the wind and rain.

In the subsequent dinner, Wang Churan and Zhang Jingyi sat on both sides of Lin Li, as if nothing had happened.

However, Wang Churan's actions of picking up food for Lin Li from time to time still made Zhang Jingyi's eyelids twitch. Now she was not able to show intimacy to Lin Li in front of so many people.

Seeing that the situation was not right, Lin Li quickly gave Wang Churan a look, and she pouted and became quiet, looking aggrieved.

Ha~
What a great acting!
Zhang Jingyi took in the entire scene and sneered to herself.

The dinner started at eight o'clock and ended hastily before nine thirty. Considering that we had to continue filming tomorrow, we didn't drink much.

After the event, Lin Li and a few others greeted and said goodbye to Wang Churan in the parking lot.

However, the moment they got in the car, Wang Churan gave Zhang Jingyi a meaningful smile, which stunned her for a moment.

What do you mean?
She looked at Wang Churan, then at Lin Li, and always felt that there was something inexplicable in Wang Churan's smile just now. Was it a provocation or something else?
With something on her mind, Zhang Jingyi returned to the hotel, washed up, and tossed and turned, unable to sleep. She glanced at the time and saw that it was only eleven o'clock. For some reason, she put on her slippers and wandered to Lin Li's door.

After hesitating for a while, Zhang Jingyi raised her hand and prepared to press the doorbell of Lin Li's room.

However, just before pressing the button, Zhang Jingyi paused.

She heard the faint sound coming from the room.

That is……

Zhang Jingyi's face turned red in an instant. She was no longer a child, so she naturally knew what this movement meant.

I wanted to just walk away, but my legs felt like they were filled with lead and I couldn't move.

For no reason, she slowly moved her face closer to the door.

Suddenly, a blushing and heart-pounding shout rushed into my ears!
"love me!"

"Tsk, luckily the hotel has good soundproofing, otherwise I would have been complained about."

“I just want to shout it out…”

"Okay, then shout louder."

Zhang Jingyi's legs went limp and she fell down in front of Lin Li's door. Her face had turned crimson and her breathing became slightly rapid.

Why does it seem like she is in pain and yet happy?
