Xiang Yutang looked shocked. "You're not like me, who used to climb trees all the time when I was a kid. Get down right now!"
Zhu Zhengchu leaned against the window. "I just came to see you. I'll get down after a while."
Fortunately, Xiang Yutang had a strong heart, or she would have been so scared that she'd throw up just now.
Zhu Zhengchu didn't enter her room. He really got down after a while. Xiang Yutang didn't feel so tense until she saw him land safely. She took out her phone and texted to scold him.
"You're crazy. Don't climb into my room through the window again!"
Zhu Zhengchu replied, "Are you afraid I'll get hurt?"
"I wish you'd fall to your death!"
"But you just poked your head out to check on me."
"I just wanted to see you fall to your death! Don't come here again, or I'll call the police and arrest you!" After sending this message, Xiang Yutang put away her phone. This man was really crazy.
Fortunately, she was going into the mountains to film a TV series the next day, so she wouldn't be harassed by him anymore.
The next day, the three of them left home early. The journey into the mountains was long, and they all slept in the car. They didn't know how long they had driven before they finally reached the mountains. Xiang Yutang was still groggy when she got out of the car.
"Are we here already? It feels a bit cold." Xiang Yutang shrugged her shoulders.
Zhuo Ziyu took out a small coat for her. "The temperature in the mountains is definitely lower."
Ying Zikui exaggeratedly yawned. "I also wish someone would give me a coat."
Zhuo Ziyu gave him a helpless look and took out a coat for him.
When the director saw them getting out of the car, he quickly came up to them. His face was full of excitement. "I still can't believe it. I never thought we could gather the four top - tier stars for this film! Oh my god!"
Zhuo Ziyu asked curiously, "Four?"
"One has already arrived and is inside. Come on in, everyone. It's time for lunch." The restaurant in the mountains was simple, but the food smelled especially delicious.
The three of them walked in together. In the private room, there were several other people in charge, two leading actors, and... Zhu Zhengchu?!
The director walked while enthusiastically introducing, "I was really shocked when Teacher Zhu called me last night and said he wanted to star in this. How could a small - scale production like mine invite Teacher Zhu!"
Zhu Zhengchu smiled slightly. "I think the script is very interesting. I've always only considered the script when filming."
Ying Zikui was so angry that he wanted to fight with Zhu Zhengchu, but Zhuo Ziyu held him back. With so many people watching, they couldn't cause any trouble.
The director was so happy that he didn't notice anything strange among them. He introduced happily, "Yutang, you'll have the most scenes with Teacher Zhu. You two should get to know each other better these days! But your acting skills are so good, so I'm not worried about you two."
"Come and sit down quickly!"
Xiang Yutang and Zhuo Ziyu both pulled Ying Zikui to sit down. A few producers did notice something strange among them, but no one said anything.
The two leading actors kept their heads down and didn't dare to speak. Oh my god, why didn't anyone tell them that the supporting roles would be these big - name teachers? If others knew that they were the leading roles while these seniors were the supporting roles, they would surely be scolded severely!
"Please take care of me." Zhu Zhengchu stood up to offer a toast.
Last night, when he went to Xiang Yutang's room and saw her packing her luggage, he knew something was wrong. He immediately found out that Xiang Yutang was going into the mountains to film, so he came along. Now that the contract was signed, it would be difficult for Xiang Yutang to leave, and they would have more opportunities to meet.
Xiang Yutang replied expressionlessly, "Sure."
After lunch, the three of them went back to their assigned rooms to rest. The conditions were not very good. Each person had a small room, but they were all connected. They wondered if the director's team did it on purpose. Zhu Zhengchu was arranged to be next to Xiang Yutang.
Ying Zikui walked into Zhu Zhengchu's room angrily.
"What on earth do you want? Don't you know that you two have broken up?! What's the point of your stalking?"
Zhuo Ziyu also followed in. "Calm down. There are cameras everywhere. Don't get filmed."
Zhu Zhengchu said, "No matter what you say, I won't give up."
Xiang Yutang walked in. "You two go out first. I'll talk to him alone."
"What's there to talk to this kind of person about? I'll kill you right now!" Ying Zikui had a hot temper.
Zhuo Ziyu quickly stopped him. "Ying Zikui! If you act like this again, I'll be angry." Ying Zikui was still too childish and didn't know to consider the overall situation.
In the end, Ying Zikui was pulled out by Zhuo Ziyu. Xiang Yutang looked at Zhu Zhengchu expressionlessly. "Is this fun? I've even hidden here, but you still followed. Why bother? Can't you just give me some personal space?"
Zhu Zhengchu stood there, looking like a wronged child who had been scolded.
Xiang Yutang didn't know what else to say, so she simply turned around and left.
Zhu Zhengchu said, "Tangtang, if I kneel down for you, will you forgive me?"
Xiang Yutang stopped in her tracks. Although Zhu Zhengchu seemed gentle on the surface, he was actually very proud. After all, he had been favored by God since birth. She never thought he would kneel down for her.
Xiang Yutang let out a breath. "Zhu Zhengchu, I don't forgive you not because I'm still angry or still hold a grudge against what happened back then. I just don't have feelings for you anymore. You don't have to force yourself like this. You're so young and talented. There are plenty of people in this circle who are more outstanding than me and are willing to be with you. You really don't have to waste your time on me."
Zhu Zhengchu said, "I never thought this was forcing myself, and I don't think there's anyone in this circle better than you."
Xiang Yutang turned around. "Let's make a bet."
"What are we betting on?"
"During the five months of filming, if you can make me have feelings for you again, I'll forgive you and be with you. If not, please don't appear in front of me again." Since she couldn't avoid him anyway, she might as well take a gamble. By then, as long as she said she had no feelings for Zhu Zhengchu, what could he do?
Zhu Zhengchu was silent for a while and finally nodded. "Okay!"
"This is a bet, so I hope you'll abide by it. If you can't make me fall for you, please leave my life."
Zhu Zhengchu clenched his fists. "I will definitely make you fall for me."
Xiang Yutang said coldly, "Let's wait and see."
Xiang Yutang turned around and was about to leave when Zhu Zhengchu suddenly called out to her.
"Yutang."
"I love you, and I will definitely marry you."
Xiang Yutang bit her lip and finally left without giving a response.
If only he had said this a year ago. Things between them wouldn't be like this now. Zhu Zhengchu, Zhu Zhengchu, it's all your own choice.
