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

When Su Wei was pushed away, he was stunned at first. Then he saw that Liu Shishi's face suddenly turned red, from the tips of her ears all the way to her cheekbones, and even her neck was a little pink.

Her exaggerated face-wiping gesture looked completely unnatural.

He then realized it.

The two of them had been too close, and their breaths were on her ear as they spoke, making her feel embarrassed.

Su Wei didn't point it out.

Bringing things up at this point will only make things more awkward for both of them.

He leaned back slightly, following her words, to create a normal distance between them, a normal smile on his face, as if he hadn't noticed anything.

Liu Shishi glanced at him out of the corner of her eye and saw that he looked normal, did not ask any questions, and did not show any meaningful expression. She secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Liu Shishi thought to herself: Thank goodness, he didn't notice my embarrassing situation just now.

She took her hands off her face, adjusted her posture, and put the snack bag back on her lap, resuming her usual unhurried pace.

She cleared her throat and continued the conversation as if the few seconds of pause in between had never happened:

"As far as I know, there hasn't been much progress so far."

Su Wei nodded.

"But Mimi probably also has feelings for Lao Hu."

Liu Shishi glanced in the direction Yang Mi had just left, her tone becoming more serious.

"They had worked together before, back when Mimi was still a minor. Mimi told me that Lao Hu took good care of her back then."

She handed the bag of snacks towards Su Wei, but Su Wei waved it away.

She took back a piece, took a bite, and mumbled a conclusion, "I think, judging from the current situation, there's potential between the two of them."

"oh--"

Su Wei responded.

When the gossip reached this point, the two of them both stopped talking about it without saying anything more.

Su Wei leaned back in her chair and slowly drank her water.

Liu Shishi ate her snacks with her head down, occasionally glancing up at the direction of the venue.

The conversation among the people around them continued, with Tang Yan's voice rising and falling, and laughter coming in waves.

As Su Wei listened to their commotion, she compared what Liu Shishi had just said with her memories from her past life.

Judging from this pace of development, barring any unforeseen circumstances, Hu Ge and Yang Mi should confirm their relationship next year.

However, he remembers that the relationship ultimately ended without a trace.

As for the specific reason, there are many different opinions online, and no one can be sure.

He didn't think about it too deeply.

This is something others can just observe from the sidelines; there's no need for them to worry about it.

A short while later, Yang Mi returned.

Hu Ge followed behind her, the two of them one in front and one behind, neither of them showing any unusual expression.

However, Yang Mi now had a hot water bottle in her hand, which she held against her lower abdomen, and her complexion looked better than before.

Although it still doesn't have much color, at least it's not so pale anymore.

Hu Ge stood next to her, looking much the same as he always did on set, with his hands in his pockets and a natural expression.

Su Wei glanced at them, thinking to herself, "Old Hu is quite the actor."

When the actors saw the two main characters return, their lively conversation abruptly stopped.

They smoothly transitioned into discussing tomorrow's schedule.

We're all smart people. It's fine to talk about this in private, but to bring it up in front of the parties involved would make us look like idiots.

Although the topic wasn't as explosive as before, the atmosphere didn't cool down.

Everyone chatted happily, one sentence after another.

Su Wei listened to their conversation while drinking water, occasionally chiming in with a comment.

Liu Shishi, who was standing next to him, was no longer with him at this moment.

As soon as Yang Mi returned, she moved her stool over, and the two girls sat close together, whispering secrets to each other.

Yang Mi smiled when Liu Shishi said something, loosened one of her hands from the hot water bottle, and gently patted Liu Shishi.

Then Yang Mi whispered something in Liu Shishi's ear, and Liu Shishi's eyes widened. She lowered her voice and replied, and the two of them laughed together.

Su Wei looked away, tightened the screwdriver on the water glass, and placed it at her feet.

The affair between Hu Ge and Yang Mi added a bit of spice to the otherwise mundane life on set.

Before Su Wei thought about it that way, she just felt that some of Hu Ge's behaviors were a bit strange.

If you're handing someone water, just hand them water; why are you standing so close? If you're chatting, just chat; why are you staring so intently?

Now that I know the truth, all those "strange" things suddenly make sense, and every little thing fits together.

What's even funnier is Hu Ge's own attitude.

He clearly thought he was being very discreet, and he would pretend to care about Yang Mi on set every day.

Yang Mi said she was a little thirsty, so he immediately handed her some water.

After Yang Mi finished filming a scene with heavy emotional intensity, he was always the first to walk over to her.

Every movement was done with utmost care, and the expression was always serious, as if it were just a perfectly normal act of care between colleagues.

Now these things seem even funnier to everyone.

Tang Yan privately told Su Wei, "Doesn't Lao Hu know that this is so obvious?"

In fact, Hugo didn't know, or rather, he thought he was disguised very well, but those in the thick of it always overestimate their ability to hide.

This incident was like the Emperor's New Clothes to the crew.

Everyone knew exactly what was going on, but they didn't say anything, tacitly cooperating with Hu Ge's performance.

He handed out water, and everyone pretended not to see it.

He found an excuse to stand next to Yang Mi, and everyone continued chatting about their own things.

He would occasionally say something like, "MiMi is in good spirits today," and everyone would nod and agree, but no one would say anything more.

This unspoken understanding of collective feigning ignorance became a silent source of humor among the crew.

Soon, a month had passed.

Su Wei has no filming assignments these days.

His scenes weren't scheduled as intensively as the main cast, leaving him with a few days of downtime.

However, he didn't wander around; he continued to go to the film set every day as usual.

For newcomers, sitting on the sidelines and watching others act is a form of learning in itself.

Some things you can't learn in school; you can only learn them by seeing them in person and figuring them out gradually.

…………

The weather was lovely that afternoon; sunlight streamed through the gaps in the shed, warming people's skin.

Su Wei leaned back in a recliner in the corner of the film set, closing her eyes and pretending to sleep.

The sunlight shone on my face, casting a warm orange-red glow through my eyelids—it felt so comforting.

Just as I was drifting off to sleep, my vision suddenly went dark.

He thought the clouds were blocking the sun and that's why he didn't open his eyes.

But then, his foot, which was on the ground, was gently nudged, as if someone had touched the sole of his shoe with their toe.

someone.

Su Wei opened her eyes.

The transition from darkness to light made it difficult for him to see clearly at first glance.

All I could make out was a person standing in front of me, backlit, their silhouette outlined by the sunlight behind them.

He blinked, and only after his pupils adjusted to the light could he see the person in front of him clearly.
