"Sister Li Moli, do you know who I just saw!"
Li Moli's assistant came up to her with a gossipy look on her face. Li Moli was removing her makeup and getting ready to rest. Hearing this, she casually asked, "Who?"
"Qin Qiao'er and Li Fujin! I just saw them coming out of that hot - pot restaurant we often go to. It seemed like they were having a meal alone."
Li Moli got extremely excited upon hearing this. "What! Who did you see? Say it again!"
The assistant was a bit confused. "Qin Qiao'er and Li Fujin. I'm also quite puzzled. How did they know about that hot - pot restaurant? I thought only we knew."
Li Moli angrily threw the cotton pad in her hand on the ground. How did they know? She had told them, of course.
"That bitch Qin Qiao'er!" Li Moli cursed viciously.
The assistant was startled by Li Moli's sudden outburst. She didn't expect Li Moli, who had been fine just now, to turn into this.
Li Moli sneered. "Good for you, Qin Qiao'er. You're better at pretending than I am. I thought you were some innocent little lotus flower, but you're actually a scheming green tea. This afternoon, you pretended to be so regretful about wanting to go with me. Then, you went out alone with Li Fujin. You must have found Li Fujin again when I wasn't paying attention."
The angrier Li Moli got, the more convinced she was that when they went out for a meal, it must have been Qin Qiao'er who begged Li Fujin, and she didn't know what tricks she used to make Li Fujin go out with her. Li Moli had stayed in Li Fujin's waiting room for quite a while this afternoon, but Li Fujin hardly said a few words to her. She thought Li Fujin was a really cold - hearted person.
When Qin Qiao'er invited her to have dinner this afternoon, Li Moli even felt a bit guilty in her heart, thinking that she might have been too harsh on Qin Qiao'er before. But now, Li Moli truly started to hate Qin Qiao'er. She thought that Qin Qiao'er must have gotten her role through connections.
She didn't expect that Qin Qiao'er, who seemed so proper on the surface, had been doing so many sneaky things in private. Maybe there was something shady going on between her and Li Fujin.
The assistant carefully comforted her. "Sister Li Moli, don't be too angry. It's not worth getting angry over such a person."
Li Moli laughed out of extreme anger. "Let's see what else she can do in the future. Since she's such a person, don't blame me for being rude."
Li Moli had already started secretly planning how to deal with Qin Qiao'er in her heart. She said coldly to her assistant, "Keep an eye on Qin Qiao'er from now on. Report any of her movements to me."
Although the assistant still didn't quite understand what Qin Qiao'er had done after hearing Li Moli's long rant, since her boss had given this order, she had no choice but to agree.
Suddenly, Li Moli had an idea. "When you saw them, did you take any photos?"
"Umm... no. We just passed by each other. After I recognized their faces, I forgot to take photos."
Li Moli was frustrated. "If you had taken photos, I could have made them both the top of today's hot search! Next time you see them doing anything, you must get some evidence."
The assistant meekly agreed.
In the evening, Qin Qiao'er sincerely apologized to Zhao Youting and told him that she would never go out for a meal with others without saying a word again, and she would definitely not make Zhao Youting worry about her anymore.
Then the two of them talked until late at night. Finally, Qin Qiao'er couldn't hold on anymore. While on the phone with Zhao Youting, she closed her eyes and accidentally fell asleep.
Zhao Youting was still talking when he heard the even breathing sound in his ear. He rubbed his eyes and didn't hang up the phone. He fell asleep listening to Qin Qiao'er's breathing, as if they were sleeping in the same bed.
When Qin Qiao'er woke up the next morning, she found that her phone was extremely hot. Looking at it, she realized that the call hadn't been hung up all night.
Qin Qiao'er couldn't remember when she fell asleep last night. She only remembered that time seemed to pass very quickly, and Zhao Youting's voice seemed to be very hypnotic.
Just as Qin Qiao'er was in a daze, suddenly a voice came from the receiver. "Good morning."
Qin Qiao'er was startled. Zhao Youting had heard the rustling sound of Qin Qiao'er getting up and knew that she was awake.
Qin Qiao'er couldn't help but exclaim, "We talked on the phone all night!"
Zhao Youting also couldn't help laughing. "Yes. If someone had told me before that I would talk on the phone with someone all night, I definitely wouldn't have believed it."
Qin Qiao'er felt that this feeling was very wonderful, as if they had slept and woken up together. She had never had such a feeling before.
It seemed that with Zhao Youting's company all night, the night didn't feel lonely at all. Although she was far away from home in the film crew, it didn't seem so hard to bear.
The two of them chatted casually for a while in the morning and then hung up the phone, because Qin Qiao'er had scenes to shoot today and couldn't keep chatting like this, although she really didn't want to end the conversation.
When Qin Qiao'er arrived at the filming set, everything seemed normal. She didn't notice that the atmosphere among the leading actors had become a bit strange.
Li Fujin didn't know what attitude to take to face Qin Qiao'er again after his failed secret love last night.
Li Moli had really seen Qin Qiao'er's true colors last night, and it took all her effort to maintain the superficial friendliness.
Normally, Li Fujin should have found Li Moli's behavior very strange, but he was also preoccupied today and couldn't notice these things for Qin Qiao'er.
Since two of the three leading actors were in a strange state, today's filming didn't go smoothly. Qin Qiao'er also felt a bit distracted, and there were constant NG scenes on the set.
Finally, the director told them to take a break. The director didn't know what had happened yesterday, but seeing that the three of them were in a bad state, he asked them to adjust themselves.
