"Me, me, me," one of the staff members pointed to the dimple on his right cheek and asked with pride and confidence, " Ye Mo, can you figure out how I got this dimple?"
Those around him, upon hearing his question, remained Momo if they knew the inside story, while those who didn't asked doubtfully, "Dimples aren't natural, they can be formed later, right? Did you get them done at a plastic surgery clinic?"
The man smiled without saying a word, only looking at Ye Mo with excitement, seemingly very confident that Ye Mo would be stumped by his question.
Upon hearing his question, Ye Mo only pondered for a few seconds before smiling and saying, "The dimples on your cheeks are from an injury you sustained from hitting a sickle, right?"
Upon hearing this, the staff member's eyes lit up, and before he could speak, the people around him began to ask, "How was it? Was it accurate?"
The staff member gave Ye Mo a thumbs up and exclaimed, " Ye Mo, you're amazing! You were absolutely right!"
"Wow!"
The crew erupted in another uproar. The next person who wanted to calculate couldn't wait to push aside the person in front and plop down in front of Ye Mo.
" Ye Mo, I... I... please tell my fortune!" The tall man looked extremely embarrassed and said, "Well, I met a girlfriend online, but she refuses whenever we talk about meeting in person... I just wanted to ask you if she has some unspeakable reason."
Wuhu...
Those in the film crew who knew him couldn't help but tease him, saying, " Li Kui, we didn't know you'd taken to online dating, a popular way of meeting people!"
Two barely perceptible blushes appeared on Li Kui's dark face, indicating his obvious embarrassment.
--That's right, you read that correctly. This staff member is named Li Kui. According to him, when he was born, he looked like a kitten. His family was afraid they couldn't raise him, so they named him Li Kui, hoping that he would grow up to be as tall and strong as that Mount Liang hero.
As for elders
Whether our high hopes for him have come true... just look at his current height of 1.9 meters and his physique like a strong bear, and you'll know whether those hopes have been fulfilled.
... We've strayed from the topic. So, Li Kui now wants Ye Mo to help him figure out why his online girlfriend has been unwilling to meet him in person, and whether she has some unspeakable reason.
The rest of the crew members all expressed their opinions on his question.
"Could you have been scammed? Maybe they never intended to develop a real-life relationship with you; they were just playing around online, and you actually believed them!" someone asked.
Li Kui shook his head and said, "No, she already accepted my three gold pieces."
Everyone:??
"Which three golds?" everyone pressed—could it be the three golds they were thinking of?
"It's a gold bracelet, a gold necklace, a gold ring..." Li Kui's eyes were filled with a clear, foolish look as he said, "Where we come from, you have to buy three gold items for your partner before you get married. Look, she accepted all three of my gold items, so she must really want to date me!"
Everyone:... Maybe, perhaps, others just think you're a sucker?
However, no one knew what to say about this, so they all turned to look at Ye Mo Ye Mo, wanting to see what he would say.
Ye Mo: "..."
Li Kui said, "I can feel that Tiantian is serious about me. She cares about me and makes sure I drink plenty of hot water when I'm sick..."
The crew. "... Oh, this."
Li Kui, meanwhile, was already immersed in the wonderful memories of his online romance. He said, "I had a really great time with Tiantian. She was unlike any other girl I'd ever met..."
The crew. "..."
Everyone turned to look at Ye Mo, signaling with their eyes: Miss Ye, hurry up and give this love-struck fool a good whack!
Ye Mo interrupted Li Kui's pleasant reminiscence, "... So, you want to know why she doesn't want to meet you in person, right?"
Li Kui snapped out of his daze and nodded obediently, "Yes."
[I know that!] 888 shouted in Ye Mo's mind, [I know why his online girlfriend doesn't want to meet him in person, because she's a guy!]
Upon receiving this answer, Ye Mo: "..."
She looked up at Li Kui, whose face was filled with expectation, and asked him repeatedly, "Are you sure you want to know the reason? Whatever the reason, you can accept it?"
Li Kui nodded affirmatively.
Ye Mo: "Alright then, I'll tell you what his unspeakable secret is..."
Since the person involved has repeatedly expressed their desire to know, what is there for her to hesitate about?
"... His unspeakable reason for not wanting to meet you is because he's the wrong gender." Ye Mo still used a rather tactful way of putting it.
Poor Li Kui, his first online romance turned into a gender scam. Hearing Ye Mo's words, he didn't understand, asking blankly, "Wrong gender? What do you mean?"
However, the other members of the crew were much more knowledgeable than him. As soon as they heard Ye Mo's words, they understood what she meant and immediately looked at Li Kui with pity.
Upon hearing Li Kui's question, someone immediately couldn't hold back any longer and said, "Idiot! Miss Ye means that your online boyfriend is a man, not a woman!"
"..." Li Kui's expression was blank, Li Kui's expression was surprised, Li Kui's expression was terrified, Li Kui... Li Kui was dumbfounded.
Li Kui was finally helped up from his chair by the rest of the crew. He looked dazed and staggered. Ten minutes later, Ye Mo suddenly heard Li Kui wailing.
"... What's going on over there?" Someone peered curiously in that direction.
Ning Aiqi walked over and sighed, "It's all because of Li Kui. He listened to Miss Ye's words and, unwilling to give up, called his online girlfriend..."
Li Kui called and immediately asked, " Tiantian, you don't want to meet me in person because you're not a woman at all, but a man, right?"
His opening line was a devastating blow, silencing the person on the other end of the phone. "..."
A few seconds later, Li Kui heard a busy tone on the phone; his online girlfriend had hung up on him.
"... Waaaaah! Waaaaah!"
Then came the source of the loud wailing that Ye Mo and the others heard.
As the saying goes, a man doesn't easily shed tears, unless he's truly heartbroken. Clearly, Li Kui has reached that point of heartbreak.
Ning Aiqi and the others couldn't help but feel a little sad.
The crew's gathering then ended amidst Li Kui's wailing and howling.
At the party, Ye Mo did nothing but tell fortunes and eat and drink voraciously until the party ended. He was so full that he was ready to return to the hotel where the film crew was staying.
Not many people in the crew urged others to drink today, so there were few drunk people. Unsurprisingly, Li Kui was among the drunks. After the show ended, he had to be carried away by two people because he was so drunk that he fell asleep (passed out).
Ye Mo wasn't drunk; she'd just had two glasses of champagne and felt a little tipsy, which she actually quite enjoyed.
While Shen Yan and the others helped the drunk Director Zheng into the car, she stood there waiting for Shen Yan to come over. She blinked her sleepy eyes and unconsciously took a step back.
Bang!
Her body suddenly bumped into a soft wall. She instinctively looked up and saw a somewhat familiar face.
"Are you drunk?" A familiar voice rang out above her head.
Ye Mo: Oh, I remember now, it's her cheap uncle.
