Suddenly, a force came from his shoulder. Qin Qiao'er's fair and delicate little hand instantly pressed Zhao Youting onto the chair, with an air of unwavering determination.
"It hasn't started yet. Take a little more rest while you can," she said.
Zhao Youting saw Qin Qiao'er behind him in the dressing - room mirror in front of him. As if unaware that Zhao Youting was observing her, Qin Qiao'er's expression was completely unguarded.
She looked at Zhao Youting tenderly and boldly.
Just like this, Qin Qiao'er was looking at Zhao Youting, and Zhao Youting was looking at Qin Qiao'er through the mirror. The warm yellow light shone on their faces, and an ambiguous atmosphere lingered between them.
Suddenly, Qin Qiao'er came to her senses. She suddenly looked up and met Zhao Youting's eyes in the mirror.
Although there were only the two of them in the room just now, Zhao Youting had been sleeping, so Qin Qiao'er had been silently observing him.
After he woke up, Qin Qiao'er still maintained the same state as before, but Zhao Youting was already awake, and his eyes were full of playfulness.
Qin Qiao'er murmured silently in her heart: How could he be so well - behaved when he was sleeping, but as soon as he opened his eyes, he became so intimidating that one couldn't help but want to run away.
Qin Qiao'er panicked and wanted to leave. "Well, you continue to rest. I won't bother you. I'll come and wake you up when it's time to start shooting."
Just as Qin Qiao'er was about to pull away, Zhao Youting suddenly reached out his hand and covered the hand that Qin Qiao'er had placed on his shoulder.
Then he gently raised his head and said to Qin Qiao'er, "Don't go. Stay with me for a while. Your presence is the best rest for me."
Qin Qiao'er couldn't say no. She stammered, "Th - then I'll stay with you for a while."
Zhao Youting closed his eyes again with a smile, then leaned his head on the hand on his shoulder and even rubbed it gently.
Qin Qiao'er felt the warmth from her hand, and her face couldn't help but turn slightly red.
Although it seemed that Zhao Youting was drawing strength from Qin Qiao'er, in fact, Qin Qiao'er also felt that she was needed from Zhao Youting's actions.
At this moment, Qin Qiao'er suddenly remembered that after their fight, when she was in the park, was Zhao Youting looking at her from this angle?
Looking at the bright light shining on Zhao Youting's face from the dressing - room mirror, Qin Qiao'er involuntarily reached out her hand to block the annoying light for Zhao Youting.
Qin Qiao'er's hand slowly lifted up. Just as it was about to reach the top of Zhao Youting's head, suddenly the door of the dressing room was pushed open.
"Get ready to start shooting! Hurry up... Um... Get prepared..." The staff member who pushed the door in saw the scene in the room and his voice got softer and softer.
After stuttering out this sentence, he quickly closed the door and fled.
Zhao Youting was startled and sat up straight. Qin Qiao'er quickly put her hand behind her back as if trying to hide something, her eyes wandering.
Zhao Youting said to Qin Qiao'er with a gentle smile, "I had a great rest just now."
"Th - that's good. Let's go shooting quickly," Qin Qiao'er said to Zhao Youting pretending to be natural as if nothing had happened.
Just as they were about to leave the dressing room, Qin Qiao'er suddenly seemed to remember something. "Ah! What about that person just now! Won't he go out and spread rumors?"
"Don't worry. Leave it to me," Zhao Youting said firmly, assuring Qin Qiao'er.
Qin Qiao'er didn't know what was going on in Zhao Youting's mind:
Should he be fired directly? Or should he find someone to threaten him? He just ruined such a wonderful moment. Well, it wasn't his fault on purpose. He'd let him off this time.
In a split - second, Zhao Youting finally decided to be a bit more kind.
Their shooting today was in a small theater. This theater seemed to be able to accommodate only a few hundred people.
Although it looked shabby from the outside, when you walked inside, it felt very tidy and clean. It was obvious that the owner of the theater took great care of the interior.
"Welcome everyone back to 'True Heroes'. I don't know if you watched the last episode. I didn't expect Chen Chen to have such a sentimental side," Li Yangxin was doing the opening remarks.
Then he changed the subject. "We all have a screenshot of you crying in the last episode."
"Don't! Don't! Don't!" Chen Chen said anxiously. "How about I exchange ten of my private beautiful photos for the ugly photo of me that each of you has?"
Zhao Youting said with a hint of disgust, "I don't want your beautiful photos. If you can bring ten photos of Qin Qiao'er, I might consider it."
At this time, Li Yangxin came out to smooth things over. "Hey hey hey, this isn't a dating show! You can't just blurt out your true feelings. Am I right, Qin Qiao'er?"
Qin Qiao'er didn't expect Li Yangxin to suddenly mention her. She quickly changed the topic. "I wonder what we're doing in the theater today. Hurry up and invite today's guest."
Everyone laughed and let Qin Qiao'er off the hook.
A middle - aged man in simple clothes came to the center of the stage, greeting everyone. Although he didn't look flashy, he seemed very energetic.
"Hello everyone. My name is Li Chengzhi. You can call me Brother Zhi. I'm the owner of this theater."
Ordinary people always seem a bit reserved when they first come in front of the camera, but Brother Zhi greeted everyone very calmly and then stated the purpose of inviting them here.
Brother Zhi said that actually this was only an underground theater. Most of the actors here were young people who loved acting. He had come into contact with this place when he was in college and had stayed here ever since.
However, the income of the theater had never been able to provide a good living space for the actors. Many young people had left for other places after staying here for a while.
He had changed from an actor to the boss and witnessed the helplessness and unwillingness of these young people.
After a long - time discussion, he and the actors inside had unanimously decided to close this theater. They hoped that the program group could help them promote their last performance before they left.
