The car door slammed shut as Huo Cheng stepped out. He rushed towards the film crew in a hurry. Grabbing someone on the way, before he could even speak, the person pointed the way for him.
"Over there."
Huo Cheng walked forward curiously and actually found Gu Sisi's filming set. Everyone assumed it was the male lead of the news coming to find the female lead. So, following people's directions, he came before Wen Meiling.
The two stared at each other. Wen Meiling was in a state of enjoyment. When she saw Huo Cheng's face, her expression froze.
The people around wisely left, leaving only the two of them in the lounge.
"Are you here to find me?" Wen Meiling said in disbelief. Then, with a look of delight, she threw herself at him. "I knew you'd come for me. I'm so happy!"
Before Wen Meiling could get close to Huo Cheng, he grabbed her. He stared intently into her eyes, and a sense of oppression enveloped her.
"Where's Gu Sisi?" He didn't have time to deal with other things for the moment. He was eager to explain things to Gu Sisi.
Wen Meiling's face turned ugly. And being held up by Huo Cheng, she looked rather comical.
"I don't know." She forced a smile, trying to maintain her composure.
Huo Cheng studied her carefully for a few moments, making Wen Meiling feel nervous. She tried to hide her uneasiness and dared not meet his eyes.
After a minute, Huo Cheng put her down and softly said, "Okay."
What does "okay" mean? Wen Meiling had no idea. But seeing Huo Cheng leaving, panic flashed across her face. If others knew his real purpose, she would be in big trouble.
She quickly hugged his leg tightly, ignoring how hard Huo Cheng tried to shake her off.
"Do you still have something to say?" Huo Cheng narrowed his eyes. His anger seemed about to explode.
"… I, I just remembered something." Wen Meiling's eyes darted around. Finally, she found an excuse. "Gu Sisi, she seems to have gone out today. You can come to find her next time! Or if you have something to say, you can tell me!"
She said in a flustered manner, finally letting out a sigh of relief.
"Let go!" He looked at Wen Meiling's hands.
As if just realizing her improper behavior, she quickly let go, with a hint of shyness on her face.
But Huo Cheng didn't bother to watch her further act. As soon as she let go, he left without looking back.
With a "bang", Wen Meiling broke out in a cold sweat. Her body went limp.
The gossips outside saw one of the main characters coming out. They quickly moved aside, pretending to be just passers - by.
Huo Cheng didn't bother with these so - called "passers - by". He looked around and finally saw a familiar figure in the distance. He quickly walked towards it.
Huang Fangjuan was arguing with the director about Wen Meiling's role when a figure walked straight towards them.
A huge shadow fell in front of them, and they both looked up.
Huang Fangjuan avoided his gaze, with a cold look on her face.
The director quickly stood up and greeted him, "Oh, it's a rare guest. We meet again. What brings you here this time, Mr. Huo?"
The director hesitated. He really wasn't sure.
"Looking for someone." He said briefly.
"Ooh, looking for someone!" The director nodded.
Then he noticed that Huo Cheng's eyes were fixed on Huang Fangjuan and asked in confusion, "You're looking for her?"
What could be the connection between these two? The director couldn't figure it out.
Huo Cheng said, "Master, do you know…"
He called her "Master" because Gu Sisi had recognized her as such that day, so he followed suit.
"If you're looking for your lover, go and find out by yourself. Don't ask me." Her tone was rather harsh.
"I don't know where she is." Huo Cheng answered seriously.
Huang Fangjuan looked at the director. "Do you know where she is?"
The director was extremely embarrassed. He didn't know who they were talking about! Was it Wen Meiling or Gu Sisi? After all, one was reported in the newspaper and the other he had seen with his own eyes.
"She should be in the crew." He gave a general answer. But this answer was clearly useless.
"Xiaohua, where's our Miss Wen?" Huang Fangjuan decided to help to the end and directly asked a staff member. She was quite responsible. Xiaohua usually knew a lot of gossips in the crew.
Sure enough, seeing Huo Cheng, Xiaohua hesitated for a moment and pointed in the direction of the lounge. "They just went in together…"
Why did things turn out like this after she left for a while? Had something big happened?
"Yo! Mr. Huo is just joking with us, isn't he?" Huang Fangjuan snorted, looking at Huo Cheng with disgust.
Huo Cheng kept a cold face, knowing that they had misunderstood.
"I'm here to find Gu Sisi." He said word by word.
Xiaohua's eyes lit up. There was gossip.
"What do you want with my apprentice? You have something to say? Ignoring your lover like this isn't good, is it? Can't you just leave my apprentice alone?" Huang Fangjuan said coldly.
These two days had really made her angry. Originally, she thought he was okay at first sight. Who would have thought her judgment was so bad.
"Gu Sisi! She's over there." The director was about to point when his hand was grabbed by Huang Fangjuan.
"Don't just point randomly. What if he's a bad guy?" She sneered, with a hint of threat in her eyes.
The director suddenly shivered and fell silent.
"I'm here specifically to explain things to her. I'm afraid Sisi will misunderstand." Huo Cheng showed rare patience. If the master didn't tell him, he really wasn't sure where Gu Sisi was. And if she was deliberately avoiding him, he sighed. He didn't know what to do with Gu Sisi.
"What's there to say to her? You can just explain things to your lover." Huang Fangjuan, who had not been so vigilant before, suddenly changed her expression.
Following her gaze, Huo Cheng saw Wen Meiling walking towards them.
"Brother Huo, what are you guys talking about?" She smiled.
Huang Fangjuan snorted and shut up, returning to her silent state.
Huo Cheng completely ignored her, acting as if he didn't hear.
Looking a bit embarrassed, Wen Meiling quickly regained her smile and said cheerfully, "Brother Huo, I didn't lie to you, did I?"
She had been observing just now. Fortunately, her lie hadn't been exposed. But maybe she celebrated too early.
Gu Sisi, holding a script, and the male lead Ouyang Xin were walking towards them, smiling.
"Come on, Brother Xin, later." It was the break time, and the afternoon shooting was about to start.
"Okay, I'll do my best. You too." Ouyang Xin was well - known for being kind to his fans.
Gu Sisi watched Ouyang Xin enter his personal dressing room. Just as she was about to leave, she felt a pair of eyes staring at her.
She looked back, and to her surprise, she saw someone she didn't expect, and there was Wen Meiling beside him.
She tried to avoid him and was about to leave.
"Gu Sisi!" Huo Cheng shouted.
Gu Sisi, who was about to turn around and leave, stopped. It seemed she couldn't avoid him anymore. She had to face him.
She thought for a moment and turned back.
Just then, her hand was tightly grabbed. Their eyes met. Huo Cheng placed her hand on his chest and softly pleaded, "Sisi, please listen to my explanation."
There were gasps all around, filled with surprise and shock.
