CHAPTER 38: CHAPTER 37: NEW ASSISTANT (PART 1)

Early autumn, night falls quickly, and by the time Zhou Huaiyi finally finished a scene, the sky had been shrouded in a layer of grayish-blue.

She squeezed her sore neck, walked over to Yang Li, and took the water cup from his hand, taking a big gulp.

"Qi Chen, do you have a girlfriend?" Yang Li suddenly asked.

Zhou Huaiyi abruptly put down the cup she had brought to her lips, the first thought in her mind was—

Xiang Qichen has a girlfriend!

The person she likes has a girlfriend, Zhou Huaiyi couldn’t keep her cool anymore, and she opened her mouth to ask, "What! He has a girlfriend? Who? Who is it?"

"You don’t know your own girlfriend?" Yang Li twitched the corner of his eye, turned on his phone, and held it up in front of Zhou Huaiyi.

She looked carefully and saw the big letters "Zhou Huaiyi" displayed on the screen.

Zhou Huaiyi was stunned for a few seconds, reached out to take the phone, and checked the call time: "Are you saying me... Are you saying Zhou Huaiyi?" Halfway through, she realized something was wrong, so she quickly corrected herself.

Yang Li: "Yeah, she even rudely asked me to tell you to call her back."

Hearing the displeasure in Yang Li’s tone, Zhou Huaiyi quickly explained with wide eyes: "No no no, she’s not like that, she’s very polite to people, really really!"

Yang Li squinted his eyes: "So protective, huh? When did this start, does Sister Yan know?"

Zhou Huaiyi waved her hand: "That’s even more impossible! We never started anything!"

Yang Li frowned with a deep sense of oddness: "Qi Chen, why have you been so jumpy lately?"

Zhou Huaiyi, embarrassed, scratched her head and said: "Maybe... possessed by the Monkey King?"

Yang Li: "..."

Xiang Qichen! Where is your idol image!

,

After work, Zhou Huaiyi immediately called Xiang Qichen back at the hotel.

On the other end, Xiang Qichen had just finished his shower, his hair still dripping when his phone rang.

He casually wiped his wet hair with a towel, picked up the phone, and said: "Hello."

Zhou Huaiyi: "Hello hello hello, Qi Chen, Qi Chen, Qi Chen, I’m here."

Xiang Qichen: "..."

Zhou Huaiyi felt like she must be getting bolder and more carefree, daring to call her idol’s name so smoothly, she chuckled happily and asked, "Have you eaten?"

Xiang Qichen continued to dry his hair: "Yes, how did today’s filming go?"

Zhou Huaiyi shamefully scratched her head, hesitatingly said: "It was... okay, except for the more than ten NGs at the start..."

"..." Xiang Qichen sighed, "Never mind, expected. Go over tomorrow’s scenes again tonight."

"No problem, leave it to me. I’ve almost found the knack for it."

Thanks to the director’s hint "He’s the one who hurt your lover" during the afternoon’s scene, otherwise, Zhou Huaiyi wouldn’t have been able to imagine Li Wei pinning Xiang Qichen to the ground and beating him up...

Xiang Qichen slightly curled his lips, gave a low "Hmm": "I’ll fly to H City tomorrow afternoon, after that..."

Zhou Huaiyi: "What?"

Xiang Qichen pondered for a moment: "You need to find Sister Yan to discuss something."

——

The next morning, joining the crew, Zhou Huaiyi met Jiang Wei and only then realized that today would be filled with emotional scenes with Jiang Wei.

After changing into her costume, Zhou Huaiyi politely went over to greet: "Teacher Jiang."

Jiang Wei was momentarily stunned, then chuckled: "What’s up Qi Chen, suddenly being so polite?"

Zhou Huaiyi slightly opened her mouth, and asked back: "... Polite?"

Jiang Wei raised his hand and patted her shoulder, giving her a look: "You usually just call me by my name."

Zhou Huaiyi laughed twice, improvising: "Haha, today I just suddenly felt like calling you that..."

"Fine." Jiang Wei shrugged, waving the script in his hand, "Shall we go through the scene?"

"OK!"
