The sixty-eighth melon: What melon? Take sixty-eight bites...

She didn't think that He Mingzhang was pursuing Ye Mo, after all, one was her uncle and the other was her niece, and most people wouldn't think that way. She just felt that He Mingzhang's attitude towards Ye Mo was a little strange.

If it were a normal couple, she would have immediately realized that He Mingzhang's actions all seemed to indicate that he was pursuing Ye Mo.

"..." Hu Pingping said calmly, "... What's so strange about that? Mr. He is Miss's elder, it's normal for him to give her flowers."

Zhou Xiaoyu: "Is that so?"

Hu Pingping replied firmly, "Yes!"

Back in his hotel room, Ye Mo took a deep breath and murmured, "Thank goodness, I won't see him tomorrow..."

Otherwise, the thought of He Mingzhang having seen her past acting skills made her want to dig her toes into the ground.

"Call!"

Ye Mo let out a sigh of relief, placed the flowers He Mingzhang had given her in a vase in her room, and went to the bathroom to wash up.

The next day, because Director Zheng drank too much the night before and couldn't get up in the morning, today's filming was postponed to the afternoon. What was even more unexpected was that when Ye Mo arrived at the set in the afternoon, he saw He Mingzhang sitting on a stool, his style completely out of place with the rest of the crew.

Ye Mo: "..."

Wait, what's this person doing here? Could they have been on set all this time?

While getting her makeup and hair done in the dressing room, Ye Mo kept thinking about this problem until she returned to the set. However, when the actual filming began, she tried her best to focus her attention back on the project.

She is extremely serious about her work, and nothing and no one can distract her.

However, no matter when Ye Mo finished filming, he would always see He Mingzhang staring in his direction. Ye Mo: "..."

"Alright, alright," the script supervisor clapped his hands after filming a scene and said happily, "Everyone, take a break. Mr. He. He has invited us for afternoon tea..."

Behind him, He Mingzhang's assistant stood with several staff members serving tea and snacks. Behind them was a large food cart filled with various small cakes and other desserts, emitting a sweet aroma.

Upon seeing this, the crew members couldn't help but shout excitedly and thanked He Mingzhang profusely.

Ye Mo on her stool, and Zhou Xiaoyu handed her two pieces of cake, saying happily, "Sister Momo, this is dessert that Mr. He. He treated us to. I just tried a piece, and it's really delicious!"

One taste and you'll know these desserts aren't cheap Mingming -offs. They're desserts, but they're sweet without being cloying—sweet without being cloying, sweet yet not too sweet, which is the highest standard of sweetness that Hua Country have.

Ye Mo took a bite and found it tasted quite good.

"... Mo Bao." Ning Aiqi, holding a piece of cake, leaned close to Ye Mo and whispered the news she had just heard, "The crew said they're going to find Li Kui's online boyfriend and help him get those three gold pieces back!"

Ye Mo was surprised, "Do they know each other's address?"

Ning Aiqi whispered, "I know. When they were dating online, Li Kui bought a lot of things for that person online, so that person gave Li Kui their address... Besides, that person is also from City B."

They're currently at the film studio in City B, so it's quite convenient for them to find the person. If they don't go now, who knows when they'll be able to get justice from the other party after they leave City B and go outside the city.

Therefore, the crew plans to find time to go see that person soon.

Ye Mo thought for a moment, "Alright, that person cheated Li Kui out of so many things, at least he should return them."

Despite his tall and muscular stature, Li Kui is actually very sensitive. When he came over at noon today, everyone noticed that his eyes were swollen from crying. Those swollen eyes, combined with his bear-like body, made him look rather comical.

However, despite his comical appearance, the crew was quite indignant on his behalf for being scammed. So, after discussing it, they decided to find his online lover and demand justice when they had some free time, especially to get back the three gold pieces that Li Kui had bought for him.

"... When you go to seek justice, don't forget to call me," Ye Mo whispered to Ning Aiqi.

Ning Aiqi gave her a look that indicated she understood.

The two spoke quietly, but Ning Aiqi didn't stay with Ye Mo for long because He Mingzhang arrived.

"The big boss is here, I have to go." She said this to Ye Mo, and then picked up the...

She left in a hurry without finishing the cupcake, leaving me sitting here alone.

Ye Mo: "..."

Chapter 68 The Sixty-Eighth Melon What kind of melon is it? It's the one you take sixty-eight bites of...

Upon seeing He Mingzhang approach, Ye Mo's smile froze, and he Momo stepped aside.

To be honest, there are very few people or things in this world that can make Ye Mo feel embarrassed. He Mingzhang's ability to do so is, in a way, quite remarkable.

However, Ye Mo didn't harbor any ill will towards He Mingzhang because of this incident. After all, it was ultimately her own fault for her poor acting skills; what kind of performance was that that led to her current predicament.

"... Ye Mo."

Ye Mo felt He Mingzhang sit down next to him and heard him call his name.

Ye Mo took a slight breath, then turned around, smiled at He Mingzhang, and asked him, "Uncle, is there something you need?"

"It's nothing..." He Mingzhang looked at her probingly and said, "I just feel like you've been avoiding me all day. Did I do something wrong to make you angry?"

Ye Mo: "..."You have a pretty sharp sense of things.

Ye Mo wasn't one to let things fester, so faced with the choice between making herself feel awkward and telling the truth so that both of them would feel awkward, she chose the latter.

"Actually," she began, her gaze shifting slightly for a moment, "I feel a little awkward seeing you right now."

He Mingzhang asked in surprise, "Why? Did I do something?"

Ye Mo: "... It has nothing to do with you. This is my own problem. You said last night that you've watched all the dramas I've acted in before, which reminded me of my previous acting..."

She looked at He Mingzhang and said, "My acting skills used to be really bad, weren't they?"

He Mingzhang: "... Do you want to hear the truth?"

Ye Mo pursed her lips and looked at him, "Even if you're not telling the truth, I know my acting was terrible before."

"Hmm." He Mingzhang nodded. "It was indeed very bad... but I can see that you tried very hard to act. At least you took every role seriously and didn't just do it half-heartedly. It's just that your acting skills are poor."

Ye Mo was just starting to feel touched, said, "... The last sentence really didn't need to be said."

He Mingzhang smiled, then looked at Ye Mo seriously and said earnestly, "It's precisely because I've seen your previous dramas that I know how much you've improved and how much effort you've put into acting."

Ye Mo was taken aback.

He Mingzhang: "Therefore, you shouldn't feel embarrassed about this, but rather proud... I think that after this drama airs, the public will definitely have a new understanding of you."

"..." Ye Mo didn't speak, but suddenly lowered his head slightly.

He Mingzhang hesitated, then asked her, "Are you still unhappy?"

"No," Ye Mo denied, raising her head to reveal a pair of bright, sparkling eyes. She said, "I'm just afraid that if I laugh too happily, it won't look good to everyone."
