The agent supported Ji Yunqing, looking at him with some concern. The assistant quickly went over to straighten the plastic stool and handed him a cup with the bottle cap on.
"I'm sorry, Sister Zhen, I'm not feeling well right now, and I'd like to head back. Please let the director know. I'm so sorry..."
Ji Yunqing didn't know how to tell his agent about his situation, so he asked her for leave with a feeling of guilt and self-blame. Seeing Ji Yunqing's state, she knew that he couldn't continue filming, so she nodded.
"It's alright. You've finished filming most of your scenes for today. There are still the rain and snow scenes left, but Director Zhu isn't in a hurry to film those."
"They're currently filming scenes with the second and third male leads and the second and third female leads. You can go back and rest. I'll just talk to Director Zhu. Xiao Zhang, you can stay with him for a bit."
"Don't worry, Sister Zhen, I will."
Ji Yunqing was extremely grateful. After thanking her agent, she turned and left the film set, rushing to the hotel without stopping. In the car, Mu Nanyu called first.
Ji Yunqing stared at the name on her phone screen, paused for a moment, and finally answered the call. The other end was noisy, indicating that Mu Nanyu wasn't at the hotel. "Hello..."
"Where are you?"
Mu Nanyu was breathing heavily, it was unclear whether he was running or doing something. Ji Yunqing was a little worried about missing him, so she spoke in a slightly hurried tone.
"I'm on my way back to the hotel, don't wander off."
"..." Mu Nanyu was silent for a moment before saying in a complicated tone, "Okay, I'll wait for you at the hotel."
As soon as he finished speaking, Mu Nanyu did not hang up the phone, as if he still had something to say. Ji Yunqing was not in a hurry and just waited patiently. Fortunately, he did not have to wait too long.
" Ji Yunqing, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have lost my temper with you that day... but I couldn't control myself... I saw you having dinner with that young master from the Gu Family at that famous romantic restaurant, and you were smiling so happily, I was so jealous..."
Hearing Mu Nanyu's apology, Ji Yunqing felt a mix of bitterness and tenderness in her heart. When she suddenly heard him mention a "couples' restaurant," she was momentarily stunned and bewildered.
"Which young Gu Family? And what, what 'couples' restaurant'? What are you talking about? I don't understand..."
Ji Yunqing suddenly realized something, and the tenderness in her heart was instantly replaced by anger. When she spoke, her tone was no longer so soft, and it even sounded a bit fierce.
"Wait, you're not going to say you mistook me for someone else, and then just come up to me and throw a tantrum without saying anything else, are you?"
Mu Nanyu seemed to realize something was wrong, and didn't dare to say a word in rebuttal. He could only fiddle with his fingers and apologize pitifully, "I'm sorry, brother, I was wrong."
"..."
Ji Yunqing's heart softened at the familiar address, but he decided he couldn't spoil this "bad kid" any longer, so he snorted.
"Hmph! Don't try to charm me, it won't work now. I'll settle the score with you later, you little rascal!"
As soon as Ji Yunqing finished speaking, the phone clicked off. Mu Nanyu returned to the hotel, feeling both guilty and remorseful, and anxiously awaited Ji Yunqing's arrival.
No matter how the other person punishes him, he will accept it, he just can't leave them, otherwise he really doesn't know what he might do, he'll go crazy!
Before the two met, Shang Shujue's inner thoughts resonated once again. This time, he seemed to have obtained more information from Nuomi, who spoke eloquently. Only then did he realize that the second piece of gossip involved him and Ji Yunqing.
[Huh~ Mu Nanyu is such a silly but upright kid. He and Ji Yunqing grew up together since they were little, they have a childhood friendship.]
When he first realized he had feelings for Ji Yunqing, he didn't try to secretly turn her gay. Instead, he thought he was crazy and was afraid of scaring Ji Yunqing and being disliked.
So he distanced himself from the girl first, showing his dislike, and then when he saw Ji Yunqing being confessed to by a girl, he was furious.
But since there was no reason to stop them, he secretly gave money to the suitors to stop pursuing him... Hahaha... What a clumsy and heartbreaking way to handle things.
The money he's spent on his studies over the years could probably buy ten Cullinan, right? Hahahaha...
Mu Nanyu should really thank his parents; if they weren't both rich, no family could have supported his extravagant spending habits... hahaha...
Mu Nanyu covered his face, his ears turning bright red. He didn't know how to handle it at the time. Who would have thought so many people would pursue Ji Yunqing? Those people are so annoying, humph!
Ji Yunqing hadn't expected Mu Nanyu to have done these things behind her back. Her earlobes turned red, and she felt both soft-hearted and angry. No wonder girls always lingered around him during their school days; they weren't trying to pursue him, but rather asking him for money.
This idiot, does he really think that every girl who expresses affection for him is trying to relentlessly pursue him? How much money must he have been scammed out of?
Ten Cullinan cost tens of millions? He found it both funny and infuriating. This idiot really needed a beating. He hadn't disciplined a kid in ages. He was going to give him a good whipping and make his backside bleed! He was just too damn deserving of a beating!
Mu Nanyu: "..."I'm already 25, don't you want to?
On Shang Shujue's side, those watching the drama up close couldn't help but laugh. Luckily, before Shang Shujue's inner thoughts were revealed, he told a harmless joke, otherwise they would have fainted from holding back their laughter—it was just too funny.
So, Mu Nanyu went berserk backstage on the night of the group's formation because he saw someone whose back looked a lot like Ji Yunqing going to a romantic restaurant with a notorious playboy in the industry. He was angry, anxious, resentful, and jealous, so he took his anger out on the innocent Ji Yunqing?
Oh my god, this kid really needs a good beating! When Ji Yunqing finds out the truth, won't she give him a good spanking? Hahaha... After all, he's been beaten since he was a kid, hahaha...
Mu Nanyu's temple twitched. " Shang Shujue, you just wait!" Hmph ╯^╰
Ji Yunqing was surprised that these things could be exposed. She found it funny but didn't show it on her face. After arriving at the destination, she got out of the car and told her assistant to go and rest as well.
[Oh my, I really want to see the live version... Who do you think is on top and who's on the bottom? Huh? Ji Yunqing is on the bottom? No way, the gentle top is the best!]
Mu Nanyu is such a hot-tempered idiot, when will he ever be gentle? No way, Ji Yunqing needs to step up! He's at least two years older than him!
My favorite pairing can't be broken up or reversed! (҂ ꒦ິヮ꒦ິ) Ji Yunqing has to be on top! Otherwise, I can't accept it!
Me? Need I even say it? Of course I'm the subordinate. Why? Cough cough... Of course, it's because my Song Yanqing is gentle, cough cough, I can't exactly tell you he's...]
Upon hearing those words, Ji Yunqing stopped in her tracks, her ears and cheeks instantly turning red. Mu Nanyu, who had been lying on the sofa, also sat up abruptly, his face flushed.
"Damn it, Shang Shujue, that... bastard! What is he saying?!"
On Shang Shujue's side.
" A-Jue, would you like an orange? I've peeled it for you."
Song Yanqing sensed that Shang Shujue's thoughts were gradually veering off course, and knew his gossip was over. He quickly interrupted him, knowing that if he continued, the broadcast would be canceled. Cough cough...
"Great, these oranges look sweet."
Shang Shujue's inner thoughts indeed disappeared. He took the orange from Song Yanqing, smiled and ate a piece. Then he looked up and noticed that everyone's eyes were darting around when they looked at him, looking both gossipy and afraid to look directly at him. He unconsciously raised his eyebrows.
"What are you doing? What are you looking at? Haven't you ever seen a couple showing affection before?"
Everyone snapped out of their daze and stopped looking at the two of them, but they couldn't help but think about the crickets in their hearts.
Brother Jue, I never expected you to look so innocent and pure, but your heart is full of filthy scum. Don't think we don't know what you were saying! It's so dirty and shameful! ૮₍ ྀི∩៸៸៸∩ ྀི₎ა
