Chapter 1162: She Might Not Like Me Very Much
In the production team of âInterweaving Night.â
âAhchoo!â
Xia Qinghuan, who was waiting on standby, couldnât help but sneeze. Then, her shoulder felt heavy, and a cashmere blanket covered her body. Chen Jinâs voice followed. âItâs getting colder every day. Put on a blanket at all times. Donât catch a cold.â
âI understand. Thank you, Brother Jin!â Qinghuan smiled. She knew she couldnât fall sick. Once she did, it would affect her performance. She was the female lead. If she caused a delay in the filming progress, she would feel bad.
It had been a while since the filming for âInterweaving Nightâ started, and all the production team members had already adapted to the current situation. Although the weather was cold, fortunately, the place they were filming at was the film base. After leaving the film base, they could return to the hotel. It was much better than other production teams who could not afford to rent a venue.
!!
âCut!â
At this moment, the assistant director behind the camera called for a stop. He poked his head out from behind the monitor and said, âThis scene is over. Everyone, take a rest.â
This scene was Jian Yiyiâs scene. As soon as it stopped, she dragged her tired body towards the rest area. Unlike Qinghuan, who was surrounded by people when she got off the stage, after Qiao Shuyi left the production team, Jian Yiyi was alone.
Her manager, Dong Jie, had to focus on Yuan Guang, so usually, Jian Yiyi would look for Dong Jie if she had something. Dong Jie rarely took the initiative to look for Jian Yiyi.
Therefore, sometimes, seeing her alone made people feel a little sad. However, for Jian Yiyi, it was better for her to be alone than for her mother to accompany her.
âYiyi!â
At this moment, Wang Mingxiao, who had been watching Jian Yiyi filming, suddenly ran towards her with a thermal lunch box in his hand.
Over the past few days, Wang Mingxiao was the closest to Jian Yiyi in the production team. At first, he was a little embarrassed when Qiao Shuyi was around, but after Qiao Shuyi left, he became even more passionate. Whenever he had time, he would approach Jian Yiyi.
Jian Yiyi would always disguise herself as an innocent and kind girl, so she would smile and give feedback to those who approached her. Wang Mingxiao was no exception. However, only Jian Yiyi knew how sincere she herself was.
âMingxiao!â Jian Yiyi quickly smiled. After this period of interaction, she had already called Wang Mingxiao by his nickname.
âYiyi, I have chicken soup here. Letâs drink it together. Itâs still hot!â Wang Mingxiao held the thermal lunch box and looked at Jian Yiyi expectantly.
Jian Yiyi was stunned for a moment before revealing a pitiful and difficult expression. âMingxiao, drink it yourself! Uncle Yu spends so much effort to make these soups for you every day. If he sees you sharing them with me, he will be unhappy.â
The Uncle Yu Jian Yiyi was talking about was Wang Mingxiaoâs uncle and manager, Yu Xiaofeng.
Yu Xiaofeng was indeed watching Wang Mingxiao closely. Moreover, he had always encouraged Wang Mingxiao to interact more with Xia Qinghuan to improve their relationship. However, Wang Mingxiao liked Jian Yiyi, so he didnât listen to Yu Xiaofeng. As time passed, Yu Xiaofeng turned a blind eye and couldnât be bothered. However, he explicitly prohibited him from dating Jian Yiyi!
Wang Mingxiao wanted to, but he felt he was not worthy of Jian Yiyi. In his heart, Jian Yiyi was perfect. He felt inferior and didnât dare to confess.
âItâs just chicken soup. Itâs not something expensive. Why wouldnât you dare to drink it?â Wang Mingxiao didnât care. He immediately unscrewed the lid of the lunch box and continued, âGood friends should share things. Donât be so polite to me!â
As he spoke, he poured a bowl and handed it to Jian Yiyi. âCome, drink it while itâs hot. I know you girls donât like things that are too oily. This soup isnât oily at all. Itâs especially delicious!â
Jian Yiyi reached out to take it and looked sincerely touched. âMingxiao, in the production team, youâre the only one whoâs really good to me. Thank you.â
These words made Wang Mingxiaoâs heart flutter.
âYiyi, donât say that. Auntie Qiao isnât around, and youâre in the production team yourself. Weâre friends, and Iâm older than you. Itâs only right for me to take care of you,â Wang Mingxiao said and couldnât help but reveal a handsome smile.
Jian Yiyi nodded gratefully and took a sip of the chicken soup in her hand. To be honest, the taste was average. As Jian Changshengâs daughter, she had tasted all kinds of delicious soup. However, she still widened her eyes in surprise and said with satisfaction, âWow, itâs delicious, Mingxiao!â
When Wang Mingxiao heard this, the smile on his face deepened. Jian Yiyi felt that the soup he gave her was delicious. To him, it was the most satisfying thing.
The two of them sat at the side of the set and chatted while drinking soup.
âYiyi, I heard that you and Xia Qinghuan are classmates? Why doesnât your relationship look good?â Wang Mingxiao asked in a low voice. He had been curious about this question for a long time, but he didnât dare to ask.
In the production team, Xia Qinghuanâs relationship with everyone was not bad, especially with the male lead, Yuan Guang, and the second female lead, Du Wei.
Because Yuan Guang was the male lead, he had the most scenes with Qinghuan. Moreover, the two of them were newcomers supported by the same company. Yuan Guang was modest and gentlemanly, and he knew his limits when handling things. Qinghuan liked to chat with him because she felt comfortable.
On the other hand, Du Wei became friends with Qinghuan after entering the production team. Du Wei was the second female lead and played a policewoman investigating a serial murder case. The time Qinghuan noticed her was the day of the opening ceremony.
At that time, Jian Yiyi wanted to quietly snatch Du Weiâs photo spot and pretended to talk to Qinghuan to push Du Wei to the side. In the end, Du Wei didnât swallow her anger. Instead, she said to Jian Yiyiâs face that this was the second female leadâs position.
At that time, Xia Qinghuan liked Du Weiâs straightforward personality because she felt she was very similar to her. Later, after interacting with her, she realized that Du Wei was indeed a straightforward person. Therefore, the two of them had the same personality and quickly became best friends in the production team.
As for her classmate, Jian Yiyi, Wang Mingxiao rarely saw the two of them talk. Other than when they were filming, there was almost no communication.
Jian Yiyi immediately revealed a helpless smile and looked at Wang Mingxiao with a bitter expression. âItâs just that⊠she might not like me very much.â
âWhy?â Wang Mingxiao asked in shock. Someone didnât like such a beautiful and gentle girl like Jian Yiyi?
Jian Yiyi shook her head. âI donât know, but Iâm fine. Iâm not money. How can I make everyone like me?â
