HuaYu14: Female celebrities are going too fast.

Zhou Xun didn't even need to look; anyone with a brain could tell who was behind it.

Looking at Liu Tao, who was tilting his head and chatting with Jiang Xing, pretending nothing had happened.

Aunt Bai really knows how to have fun.

Zhou Xun pulled his leg back, and Liu Tao didn't push his luck any further.

"Hey everyone, what are you talking about? You seem to be having a great time?"

I don't know when, but "Little Bao Zong" Yang Shuo arrived.

"It's nothing, just chatting," Liu Tao replied, his tone neither warm nor cold.

"When did a handsome guy join our crew?" Yang Shuo patted Zhou Xun on the shoulder in a very familiar manner.

Zhou Xun stared at the greasy middle-aged man without saying a word.

"Let's go," Liu Tao said, standing up to help Zhou Xun out of the predicament. "It's almost time, let's go rehearse our lines."

Yang Shuo ignored Zhou Xun and followed Liu Tao eagerly, his eyes fixed on Liu Tao's swaying white legs.

"Let's go, handsome young man."

Zhou Xun got up and followed them away.

……

Inside the shed, everyone was doing their assigned tasks.

Zhou Xun had few lines, so he spent most of his time observing and learning.

At this moment, he turned his attention to Yang Shuo. He guessed that Xiao Bao Zong had special feelings for Liu Tao.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have forcibly kissed Liu Tao on the red carpet in public.

Zhou Xun was at a distance where he could hear their conversation.

He moved a folding chair over and sat down.

He's currently at the forefront of gossip!

"Where to begin?" Liu Tao asked.

"The section in the corridor, I guess," Yang Shuo blurted out, as if he had been prepared for this all along.

Liu Tao flipped through the script: "Okay."

She walked to the marked spot in the corridor and stood there. Yang Shuo followed behind her, his gaze sliding from her shoulder to her waistline and then down to her calves.

"Begin," the assistant called out.

Liu Tao instantly switched into Andy's mode, standing there with his back to Yang Shuo, his shoulders slightly tense.

Yang Shuo walked over from three meters away. He stood behind Liu Tao and took a deep breath.

From Zhou Xun's perspective, Yang Shuo seemed to be smelling the fragrance on Liu Tao.

Zhou Xun clicked his tongue twice and continued reading.

After taking a deep breath and savoring the fragrance emanating from Liu Tao, Yang Shuo reached out and wrapped his arms around Liu Tao's waist from behind.

His palm was lowered, almost gripping Liu Tao's hip bone.

"Andy," Yang Shuo said, his chin almost resting on Liu Tao's shoulder, "I missed you."

"Go to hell!" Liu Tao turned around and slapped him across the face. "You pervert!"

This turn of events was unexpected for Zhou Xun. He chuckled twice and quickly turned his head away.

I didn't see anything, I didn't see anything, hehe.

Yang Shuo seemed stunned by the slap, and only realized what had happened after Liu Tao left the studio.

He immediately cursed at Liu Tao's retreating figure, "Fuck your mother, you filthy bitch, you sleep with men every day, what's wrong with me touching you?!"

In the following period, Zhou Xun's pace in "Ode to Joy" gradually stabilized.

Ying Qin's scenes are indeed few, scattered throughout the series, averaging only one or two scenes per day.

Kong Shen is meticulous about details, but Zhou Xun is well-prepared, and with the added boost of the "Acting Master" card, most of his scenes are completed in one take.

Kong Shen was very satisfied with this.

When he has a lot of free time, he sits on a small stool, looks at the pretty girls, and eats some melon seeds in the front row.

Occasionally, Liu Tao would pull me aside to rehearse, or Yang Zi would pull me aside to go over lines.

After the "back hug" incident that day, Liu Tao's attitude towards Yang Shuo became even colder.

She remained polite on the surface, but Aunt Bai was still Aunt Bai after all; she had a firm grasp on the social dynamics in the industry.

As for Bai Mengyan, Zhou Xun has always maintained contact with her.

He would occasionally ask her out, and every time Zhou Xun saw her, she looked exhausted.

So he only talks about a little bit each time.

That afternoon, Zhou Xun's scenes ended at three o'clock.

After finishing work, he went home, changed his clothes, and sent Bai Mengyan a message:

[I finished work early today, where are you? I'll come find you.]

Bai Mengyan replied a few minutes later:

[They're shooting summer clothes; don't be bored if you come.]

He then sent me his location, which was an office building near Jing'an Temple.

Zhou Xun: [No way, how could I be bored when I'm with beautiful women?]

Bai Mengyan looked at the second half of the message and didn't know how to respond.

Zhou Xun took a taxi and arrived at the office building in twenty minutes.

Bai Mengyan said the filming location was on the seventh floor, a photography studio divided into several rooms.

Zhou Xun found a photography studio according to the room number Bai Mengyan had given him. The door was half open, and he didn't knock but walked in sideways.

"Okay, hold on—turn your head a little more to the left, yes—tuck your chin in a little more—"

Zhou Xun looked in the direction of the photographer's voice and saw Bai Mengyan standing in front of the light gray wall.

She was wearing a floral dress with a square neckline, revealing her collarbone and a small patch of her chest.

Bai Mengyan changed her posture, saw Zhou Xun, and her eyes lit up.

After the photographer finished taking the photos, she said, "Teacher Wang, I'd like to take a break."

"Okay, let's take a ten-minute break."

Bai Mengyan stepped off the white carpet, picked up her water glass, and walked up to Zhou Xun.

"How long have you been waiting?" she asked.

"Just arrived, have some water." Zhou Xun said, handing her the bottled water he had brought.

"Thanks."

Bai Mengyan took the water and led Zhou to a place to sit down.

"You look great in this outfit," Zhou Xun said.

Bai Mengyan took a sip of water and glanced down at her skirt:

"This is the third set we're shooting today. You didn't see the first two sets we shot."

"That's a real shame," Zhou Xun said, clicking his tongue. "Why don't you go and ask for it back to wear?"

Bai Mengyan was amused and showed her little tiger teeth:

"How can you do that? All the clothes that were taken back after the shoot were finished."

"You finished work so early today?" Bai Mengyan asked.

"Yes, Ying Qin doesn't have many scenes. He only has two today, and it'll be over this afternoon."

"So you were alright after that?"

"Hmm," Zhou Xun asked, "What are your plans next?"

"I need to shoot one more set, which will take about an hour. If you don't want to wait..."

"It's okay, I'll wait for you to finish," Zhou Xun said naturally.

Bai Mengyan was silent for two seconds, then softly hummed in agreement.

She didn't say anything more, but the smile on her lips never faded.

Who wouldn't want a handsome man waiting for them after get off work?

After a ten-minute break, Bai Mengyan greeted Zhou Xun and then continued filming.

"Teacher Bai, you're doing great right now!"

The photographer exclaimed in admiration as he pressed the shutter.

Zhou Xun sat quietly beside her, like a husband waiting for his wife to get off work.

An hour later, Bai Mengyan finished shooting the last set of photos.

She changed back into her own clothes in the dressing room.

"Let's go, this is over."

After changing her clothes, Bai Mengyan showed her little tiger teeth and jumped in front of Zhou Xun.

Zhou Xun looked her over. She was wearing a white round-neck T-shirt, light blue jeans, and her hair was loose and tied in a low ponytail.

"Are you going to shoot another set?"

Bai Mengyan understood what Zhou Xun meant: he was just praising her beauty, but he was being roundabout.

She chuckled and said, "Let's go, I'm hungry, let's go eat."

In the corridor, a girl who had finished taking photos saw Bai Mengyan with a handsome boy and couldn't help but tease her:

"Mengyan, when did you start dating someone? You didn't even tell us."

Bai Mengyan's ears turned red, and she hurriedly waved her hand to explain, "We're just friends."

"My friend will wait here for you for an hour? If I met a man like that, I'd marry him on the spot."

"Don't talk nonsense, we really are just friends..."

Bai Mengyan's voice trailed off, and then she grabbed Zhou Xun's arm and fled in panic.
