"Consultant-nim, I hope I can get my hair done by you again in the future!"

It was a little after eight in the morning, on the film set.

After their makeup and styling were completed, the actors left the dressing room and gradually arrived around the set where the filming had been finished.

Today, Lee Joo-yeon is receiving more attention than usual.

She even surpassed Ham Eun-jung, who has recently received a lot of attention.

And the one who brought all of this to light was the man standing beside her.

She turned her head to look over.

Standing to the side, Jiang Xingchen's eyes shone with a confidence that defied description.

If I remember correctly.

That's the look in his eyes when I first met him on set.

He couldn't help but let out a slightly regretful sigh.

If you listen carefully, you can also hear a hint of probing within it.

Jiang Xingchen smiled and waved her hand, not responding to her words.

"There are plenty of stylists better than me, Joo-yeon is really flattering me too much!"

"The consultant is being too modest. I was just telling the truth."

Seeing that he still wouldn't take the bait, Lee Joo-yeon maintained a sincere smile on her face, but inwardly she was complaining that this man was so unyielding and clueless about romance.

Based on recent observations.

He is not in a romantic relationship with Ham Eun-jung, or Park Hyo-min, or Park Ji-yeon.

At most, it's just a matter of having a good impression of someone.

In such circumstances, he remained unmoved by my attempts to befriend him.

They say there's no cat that doesn't steal fish.

If not.

That means the fish quality wasn't good enough.

But it doesn't even count as cheating yet!

She really didn't know how to evaluate it.

It's a ghost...

The conversation between the two was overheard by Xian Enjing, who was standing on the other side of Jiang Xingchen.

He chuckled to himself.

I think Jiang Xingchen's reaction and response at this moment were quite good.

But thinking about this, a question flashed through my mind—he doesn't seem to be that much of a straight man, so why is that?

"All teams, take your positions..."

Just as Ham Eun-jung began to have doubts, Lee Jae-jin stood up with a megaphone and told each group to hurry up and get into position.

Upon hearing this, she didn't care about anything else and silently adjusted her state of mind.

but.

Perhaps there were too many thoughts running through my mind at that moment.

She couldn't calm herself down immediately, and as time went on, she became more and more nervous.

At this moment, Jiang Xingchen's large hand landed on her shoulder.

He looked up in confusion.

"Don't be nervous, just maintain your recent form and perform normally!"

"Who's nervous...?"

She muttered something under her breath, but didn't break free from Jiang Xingchen's large hand. Instead, she turned her gaze forward.

Strangely enough, my thoughts and mind quickly calmed down as I felt the large hand resting on my shoulder.

Once instructed, they naturally entered the frame.

Little did they know, not far behind them, their assistant Xia Minying was tilting her head, savoring the scene she had just witnessed.

As Ham Eun-jung's assistant.

After spending so much time together, I know some of her little habits very well.

For example, just now.

My toes twitched a few times involuntarily.

Although the reason is unclear, it is obvious that she was nervous.

Just as she was wondering if she should do something to help ease his emotions so as not to affect the filming, she saw Jiang Xingchen put her hand on him.

Who would have thought that such a small action would lead to this?

That solved the problem.

That's really surprising.

Perhaps it was because it noticed the gaze that had been fixed on it from behind.

Jiang Xingchen suddenly turned around and their eyes met.

Caught off guard, Xia Minying froze for two seconds before quickly standing up straight and bowing her head in silent apology.

He was somewhat puzzled by her actions, but didn't say anything more.

Then, he refocused his attention on the filming in front of him.

"I've driven the car away. I'll park it in the underground garage at home for you later."

The morning's filming went smoothly.

Lee Joo-yeon, whose makeup and styling were perfect today, performed at 120% of her potential, earning unanimous praise from everyone.

In a very good mood, just as she was about to go and express her gratitude to Jiang Xingchen, she happened to overhear his conversation with Xian Enjing.

He paused slightly, and his expression became more inquisitive.

The underground garage at home.

It sounds very intimate.

But then I thought about it again and, based on what I had observed before, I deduced that it should be the apartment's underground parking garage.

With that in mind, she didn't try to hide herself.

He strode toward the two of them.

Just as she was about to walk up behind the two, she heard Ham Eun-jung say to Kang Sung-chen, "If you want to use it, you can just drive away. If you don't, could you please bring the car keys upstairs?"

Going upstairs = Knowing the password to the front door. Upon hearing this, Lee Joo-yeon paused again.

But we've already reached a point just one step away.

Hiding your footsteps or pretending you didn't hear anything isn't an easy thing.

Besides, she didn't know.

Several seconds earlier, Ham Eun-jung had noticed her arrival out of the corner of her eye.

What I just said was actually meant for her to hear.

As for Jiang Xingchen, who didn't know the front door code and was about to say something, she was interrupted by a voice saying, "Joo-yeon unnie, today is truly amazing..." Only then did she realize that Lee Joo-yeon had come over.

After a few seconds of stunned silence, he figured out what was going on.

She chuckled inwardly, not exposing the little lie, but instead smiled and echoed, "Joo-yeon, you've truly shown your true colors today!"

"Thanks to consultant Nim."

Lee Joo-yeon responded politely, then her gaze fell on the car keys in his hand. "Are you getting ready to go back?"

"There are other work arrangements as well."

"It's already noon, aren't you going to have lunch before going back?"

"I was thinking that since I can't treat my advisor to drinks lately, at least I could arrange a nice meal for lunch today!"

"Let's wait until next time, there will be another opportunity."

Jiang Xingchen's response to the regret expressed in those words was, as always, vague.

Little did she know, Lee Joo-yeon was also secretly thinking about this "next time".

They always say "next time."

There's never a precise time.

As she pondered this, she turned her head to look at Ham Eun-jung and sighed inwardly.

"What enviable luck!"

Then, instead of trying to persuade him to stay, he said with concern, "Even if you're busy, remember to eat."

After saying that, he walked towards the lounge first.

Once her figure disappeared through the door, Jiang Xingchen had already put the car keys in her pocket and was ready to go back.

But what about the car keys?

"Once I'm done with these last couple of days, and you'll be back to help with rehearsals anyway, I'll take them over there!"

"But I'm traveling from Jiangnan to Longshan, and I want to drive there myself!"

"That's settled then. I'll give it to you when you get home after filming today..."

"As we just discussed, I'll give you the password; you can leave it at home."

Seeing that he planned to bring her the car keys that evening, Ham Eun-jung raised her hand to interrupt him, directly confirming her earlier deliberate statement.

I just went upstairs to put something down.

What else could happen?

We can't just...

"You can't possibly have some kind of peculiar hobby, like secretly visiting other people's homes, can you?"

No, not at all.

"That's settled then, let's hurry up and go, don't miss the afternoon interview!" Ham Eun-jung reached out, turned Kang Xingchen around, and pushed him out of the film set.

He only removed his hands when he was close to the door.

I earnestly reminded him to have lunch first, otherwise he wouldn't be energetic during the afternoon interview and would leave a bad impression on the job seekers.

Compared to Lee Joo-yeon's concern just now.

Jiang Xingchen's attitude was also different when faced with the same statement.

He smiled and nodded.

"Alas..."
