The aisles on the film set were already narrow, and after being piled with various equipment boxes and wires, only a narrow passageway remained for people to walk through.

Xiao Cheng could have gone around to the other side, but he chose the side where Lu Yu was standing.

As he passed by Lu Yu, he deliberately shoved his shoulder outward.

He crashed into Lu Yu.

Lu Yu reacted faster than he had expected.

Xiao Cheng's shoulder touched Lu Yu's arm, but Lu Yu didn't move an inch.

He himself lost his balance due to the reaction force and fell to the side.

The thermos flew out of my hand, smashed on the ground, the lid broke off, and honey lemon water spilled all over the floor.

Several drops splashed onto the props and costumes piled up next to it.

His knee slammed into the hard cement floor, and his face turned pale with pain.

"Ah—" Xiao Cheng screamed and sat on the ground, clutching his knee.

Everyone on set turned to look at them.

Qiao Zhixi was the first to rush over. He helped Xiao Cheng up and saw that Xiao Chen had a large bruise on his knee.

She raised her head and launched into a tirade of accusations against Lu Yu:

"Lu Yu, what are you doing? If you have any complaints, come at me! What kind of skill is it to bully a mere assistant?!"

The surrounding staff looked at each other, wondering what had happened.

But judging from Qiao Zhixi's words, it seems that Lu Yu deliberately bumped into Xiao Cheng.

Taking advantage of Qiao Zhixi blocking his way, Xiao Cheng's face fell, his lips pursed, and he put on a pitiful act, like a grown man who was extremely aggrieved.

He looked like he'd been thoroughly bullied: "Brother Qiao, he's the one who bumped into me... I was just passing by, and he deliberately bumped into my shoulder..."

Lu Yu stood there, watching their clumsy acting.

From beginning to end, he didn't move an inch, except when the assistant touched his arm.

He was still holding the script in his hand, and the page he had turned to was curled up by the wind.

Lu Yu looked at Xiao Cheng, who had been helped up, and saw that he was still pretending to wipe away tears.

His face showed no sign of panic or anger. He stood quietly in place, repeating the facts: "I didn't hit him."

"You didn't hit him, how could he have fallen and gotten like this?" Qiao Zhixi pointed to the bruises on Xiao Cheng's knee, her voice growing louder.

"Lu Yu, let me tell you, don't think you can do whatever you want on set just because the director praises you every day! If you don't apologize for what happened today, I..."

"What I saw was him hitting Lu Yu!"

A clear voice came from behind the crowd, interrupting Qiao Zhixi's unreasonable argument.

Zhou Nian, a production assistant on set, peeked out from behind the lighting rig, holding a reflector for lighting.

Just now, she was standing in the corner next to the passageway, organizing the equipment.

Zhou Nian became a fan of Lu Yu shortly after the filming of this drama began, and is now one of the core big fans in the official fan group.

But she didn't speak up for Lu Yu because of his fan status.

She saw what just happened very clearly.

"Xiao Cheng just walked over from that side. He could have gone around from the other side, but he deliberately squeezed towards Teacher Lu's side."

Teacher Lu didn't move at all; he bumped into her, lost his balance, and fell down, then started retaliating.

She only stated what she saw, without embellishing anything.

He was just a little angry.

It's really too much to slander her idol in front of her!

The scene, which had been filled with whispers, suddenly fell silent.

Several staff members simultaneously turned their gaze to Xiao Cheng.

Xiao Cheng's cheek twitched, and a hint of panic flashed in his eyes.

He rubbed his eyes for a long time, but no tears fell, and his expression became unnatural.

His lips trembled, as if he wanted to say something but couldn't get the words out.

Zhou Nian added, "If you're not satisfied, I can check the surveillance footage from the film set."

There's a security camera right outside the props department's warehouse, and it's positioned perfectly to capture this passageway.

The little girl puffed up her cheeks with anger, glaring at Xiao Cheng.

Qiao Zhixi unconsciously loosened her grip on Xiao Cheng's hand.

He glared angrily at Zhou Nian.

Why is this person meddling in other people's business? Why can't she just focus on looking at her props?

His gaze then turned to Lu Yu, his expression becoming even more unpleasant.

From beginning to end, this person stood quietly in place watching everything, watching them "act" like clowns.

The script in my hand is still on the same page that I just turned to.

Lu Yu finally moved. He closed the script, turned around, and walked towards the film set.

He didn't even glance at Qiao Zhixi and Xiao Cheng.

The surrounding staff members all lowered their heads, pretending to be busy with their own tasks.

But it's obvious that these people are secretly laughing to themselves.

Once they leave, they'll definitely start discussing and mocking each other.

Qiao Zhixi's ears were burning red.

It wasn't just because he lied to Xiao Cheng and got exposed, putting on this funny show.

It was also because of that Lu Yu, who never even glanced at him from beginning to end!

That kind of ignoring him was more painful than a direct rebuttal.

Qiao Zhixi clenched her fists, glared at Xiao Cheng, and turned to walk towards her rest area.

The thick-soled boots thumped loudly on the ground.

Xiao Cheng followed behind him with a limp, her face filled with utter embarrassment.

He stopped pretending to be wronged; now no one sympathized with him, they just laughed at him.

Back in the rest area, Qiao Zhixi got into the RV, closed the door, and turned around to yell at Xiao Cheng:

"Are you stupid? Who told you to hit him?"

If you're going to hit me, at least do it discreetly. You fell after hitting me and everyone saw you, do you know how embarrassing I was just now?!

Xiao Cheng lowered his head, his ears were bright red, and he didn't dare to say a word.

The atmosphere on set was rather subtle throughout the morning, with everyone tacitly maintaining a facade of calm.

But the farce that Qiao Zhixi and Xiao Cheng had just caused on set had spread throughout the entire crew group chat within a morning.

Even when Ken in the dressing room was touching up Lu Yu's makeup, he whispered something:

"I heard that Qiao Zhixi's assistant caused trouble in front of you today and got slapped in the face on the spot? That was so satisfying."

Lu Yu didn't reply, and let him apply the makeup with her eyes closed.

At noon, the morning's filming came to an end, and the director called it a wrap.

The crew members were preparing to collect their lunch boxes as usual when they suddenly heard a commotion at the entrance of the film set.

Someone shouted, "Two support trucks have arrived!"

The crew members all looked towards the door.

Two black, gleaming support vehicles were parked outside the film set.

One is a beverage truck, and the other is a food truck.

A window was opened on one side of the beverage cart, revealing a row of neatly arranged glasses.

The cup is filled with various freshly squeezed juices.

Orange juice, watermelon juice, avocado smoothies, and several pots of steaming freshly ground coffee.

The ice bucket next to it was neatly filled with cold brew tea, each bottle sealed with a cork and labeled with a handwritten flavor name.

There were several staff members inside washing and cutting fruit.

The food trucks were even more outrageous.

Staff opened the back door of the food cart and took out boxes of insulated containers.

Once opened, the lunch boxes inside were neatly stacked, each one a custom-made double-layered insulated aluminum foil box.

Each serving contains four dishes, a box of rice, and a bowl of soup.

The menu wasn't the typical fan support meal that film crews usually serve, like hamburgers, pizza, fried chicken, and cola.

These high-end customized set meals are so exquisite that you almost hesitate to take a bite.

Each dish comes with a handwritten label, with neat and beautiful handwriting.
