Huayu: That year, I withdrew from the Super Boy competition.

Su Wei later thought about these things: there is probably some kind of inexplicable affinity between people.

Some people are great in every way, but when they stand together, there's always a sense of distance between them, and they can't seem to connect with each other no matter how they talk.

Some people are pleasing to the eye the first time you meet them, without needing a reason.

For him, Yang Mi was clearly the latter.

Moreover, after spending time together, he could tell that Yang Mi also found him agreeable.

That's not what I meant. It's just that I want to spend more time with them, chat more, and take better care of them.

As for Hu Ge and Liu Shishi, it's normal for Su Wei to be close to them.

After all, the three of them work for the same company and are considered to be fellow apprentices.

Hu Ge is the senior colleague; he joined the company several years earlier than Su Wei and became famous much earlier.

But from day one he never put on airs as a senior, and his outgoing personality made Su Wei feel much less socially burdened.

Liu Shishi entered the industry earlier than Su Wei, but she actually only signed with Tangren last year.

If she weren't Su Wei, then she would be Tangren's junior sister at this stage.

Therefore, she had a good impression of Su Wei, her new junior brother.

Because Su Wei came, she was no longer the youngest in the company; she could now be called "senior sister."

I remember in the first few days after we met, Liu Shishi suddenly said to Su Wei:

"Xiao Su, come here, call me 'Senior Sister'!"

Su Wei was stunned. Was this still the Liu Shishi he remembered?

Seeing Su Wei's look at her like she was an idiot, and hearing the laughter of the others around her, she realized that her behavior was inappropriate and blushed with embarrassment.

Finally, forcing herself to remain calm, she blushed and muttered softly, "If you don't want to call me, then don't call me. What kind of look is that?"

After saying that, she punched Su Wei hard with her little fist.

Well, he's just made himself angry and embarrassed.

Hu Ge, standing to the side, explained with a smile:

"Shishi was the last one to join our company, so we all like to have her call us senior brothers and sisters."

Now that she's finally no longer the junior sister, she's thinking about experiencing the life of a senior sister.

After saying that, he burst into laughter.

Hu Ge's explanation only made the woman more embarrassed.

Bang bang bang!

Su Wei suffered another undeserved misfortune, getting hit on the shoulder several more times.

However, someone with her personality can occasionally make everyone laugh with her remarks.

The relationship between Su Wei and the other main actors is no longer what it was when she first joined the cast.

When Yang Mi gave him a box of ointment, he pondered for a long time how to properly thank her.

When Hu Ge put his arm around his shoulder, he would subconsciously feel awkward.

Now, when Yang Mi complains that his makeup is too dark, she will directly say, "Did you burn charcoal today?"

He would retort, "What do you know? This is the true nature of the Demon Lord."

Hugo joked about his wire stunt aftereffects, saying he walked like a duck, and without turning his head, he gave him the middle finger.

Hu Ge is known for being very approachable on set.

No matter who the other party is—whether it's the lead actor, the production assistant, or a temporary extra.

His tone of voice, facial expression, and posture while standing and chatting were all the same from beginning to end.

Su Wei noticed this on her first day on set.

After spending more than half a month with him, I realized that Hu Ge was exactly that kind of person.

But that's only the surface.

Su Wei gradually discovered that Hu Ge was actually a repressed and artistic young man at heart.

Su Wei saw him flipping through books in the lounge more than once.

Later, after they got to know each other better, Su Wei learned that Hu Ge was also figuring out baking on his own at his place.

Occasionally, I would bake some small cookies and cakes, pack them in plastic bags, bring them to the film set, and place them on the dressing table so that anyone passing by could take them.

Su Wei had tried it once, and it tasted pretty good.

When he asked Hu Ge how he made it, Hu Ge explained the recipe and cooking time in great detail, leaving Su Wei completely confused.

Yes, that's quite a life.

Hu Ge had another habit, which Su Wei only noticed later.

For a few nights, Su Wei stayed up late, scrolling through her phone, and saw Hu Ge's posts, sometimes just a few words—

"Insomnia again"

"You're overthinking it."

"never mind".

His tone was completely different from Hu Ge's during the day; it was emotional, with traces of surging emotions.

When I checked again the next morning, those messages had been completely deleted, as if nothing had happened the night before.

Su Wei felt that Hu Ge was somewhat similar to herself.

However, unlike others, Su Wei never expresses her emotions on social media platforms.

Just kidding, he's from the future, he knows the aftereffects of doing this kind of thing.

Now they treat Weibo like their WeChat Moments, posting all sorts of trivial things. In a few years, all of these things will become embarrassing history and be dug up and analyzed one by one.

Su Wei was even cautious about giving likes, let alone posting them herself.

As for Huo Jianhua and Tang Yan, Su Wei's relationship with them was relatively distant.

Overall, the atmosphere in this group is really great. There are no messy things. Everyone films and finishes work every day, and occasionally they get together for a meal. Their lives are simple and fulfilling.

In addition, Su Wei noticed something else.

Hu Ge's attitude towards Yang Mi seems to be different from how he treats others lately.

It's not entirely about being attentive; it's not that obvious, but if you look closely, you can see the difference.

Su Wei couldn't be sure for the time being whether the two of them really had something going on.

He only vaguely sensed that something was unusual.

He remembered seeing some posts online in his previous life.

Some people have speculated that Hu Ge and Yang Mi were together during the filming of "Chinese Paladin 3".

But no one can say for sure whether it's true or false. Things on the internet are always half true and half false, but he thinks it's more likely to be true.

…………

That afternoon, after filming several dialogue scenes, a few people sat on folding stools by the set to rest.

Su Wei unscrewed the water glass and took a sip. Out of the corner of her eye, she glanced at Yang Mi next to her and paused for a moment.

Yang Mi sat in the chair, looking very unwell.

His once fair face was now deathly pale, his lips were almost bloodless, and his forehead was covered in a fine layer of sweat.

She placed her hands on her lower abdomen, her fingers slightly curled, and slumped into the chair.

Su Wei put down her water glass and was about to ask her what was wrong when Yang Mi had already stood up, supporting herself on the armrest of her chair.

She moved very slowly. After getting up, she pressed one hand tightly against her stomach and waved the other hand to the side, probably meaning that she didn't need to worry about it. Then she turned around and left, her back hunched over, looking like she was in a lot of pain.

Before Su Wei could react, Hu Ge had already stood up from the stool next to him, glanced in the direction Yang Mi had left, and started walking after her.

The movement was natural; it was an instinctive reaction.

Su Wei watched the two walk away one after the other, then turned to Liu Shishi beside her and asked:

"Shishi, what happened to Yang Mi? Is she alright?"
