"Okay, okay, I'll go arrange their work first. You go find a place to rest for a while," the director said hurriedly.

"good."

After leaving the dressing room, Mo Xing wandered around the film set, but she still didn't know who was looking for Ming Jiayi.

She figured Jian Qing was the most handsome guy in the whole crew, and she couldn't see anyone more handsome than him.

"Hey, miss, miss, I'd like to ask if there are any outsiders here looking for Jiayi?" Mo Xing asked, pulling on a staff member.

The staff member thought for a moment, then pointed to where the assistant director was and said, "Go ask the assistant director, I don't know either."

"Okay, thank you."

Mo Xing jogged over to where the assistant director was. Just as she was about to ask a question, someone patted her on the shoulder.

"Hello, you must be Ming Jiayi's assistant?" the handsome man asked.

Mo Xing pointed at him in surprise, "Bai Li! Are you the one looking for Jia Yi?"

Bai Li smiled gently. "Yes, where is she? I have something to tell her."

"She's putting on makeup right now, so she can't come over. Could you please come with me to her dressing room?" Mo Xing asked, her eyes sparkling with admiration.

"Of course. Please lead the way."

...

"Jiayi, Jiayi, they're here!" Mo Xing called out excitedly.

Upon hearing the sound, Ming Jiayi instinctively looked towards the door.

But when she saw Bai Li walk in from behind Mo Xing, she felt a strange sense of disappointment.

But why would Bai Li come here to find him?

She remembered that her brother said Bai Li ran out of the office that day... and she never heard from Bai Li again after that.

Ming Jiayi didn't show her disappointment or curiosity. Instead, she raised the corners of her mouth and asked with a smile,

"Bai Li, what brings you here to find me?"

Bai Li smiled at Ming Jiayi. Ming Jiayi felt that he looked different from ever before; his gentle demeanor seemed to have changed...

The aura surrounding him now feels somewhat similar to that of Gu Shaojin...

"I'm here to visit the set. I just met with Director Zhang, and he asked if I'd like to make a cameo appearance, and I agreed. So I'll be staying here until tonight. Would you like to have dinner together later?"

Ming Jiayi's makeup was finished, and the stylist went to get her clothes, so now only she, Mo Xing, and Bai Li were in the dressing room.

Ming Jiayi pursed her lips and nodded seriously. "Okay. Is there something you want to tell me?"

Bai Li shook his head and naturally pulled up a chair to sit next to Ming Jiayi. "Yes, there's something important I want to tell you."

Ming Jiayi smiled gently and said, somewhat jokingly,

"Sure, but I'm not sure if the director will give me time to go out for dinner later. Don't blame me if he stands you up."

"Don't worry, I'll talk to the director for you," Bai Li replied.

...

After changing her clothes, Ming Jiayi walked out of the film set with Bai Li.

The directing team on set is still discussing the actors' positioning, so filming won't start anytime soon.

Geng Zhe, the actor who plays the male lead in the drama, walked over to Ming Jiayi and Bai Li and started chatting with them.

"Bai Li, it's been a long time! You heartless bastard, you haven't asked me to eat with you for ages. I've been craving your cooking for so long," Geng Zhe joked.

"When are you free? Come to my place, I'll cook for you and you can bring me some wine. That last bottle was so satisfying," Bai Li replied calmly and indifferently.

“Yes, let me tell you, I recently bought two more bottles. Let’s go drink them together sometime,” Geng Zhe replied.

"Your filming has just started, when will you be free?" Bai Li asked in return.

Geng Zhe scratched his head in annoyance, glanced back at the director, and then whispered,

"It's okay, I'll go on a day when I have fewer scenes. Jiayi, are you coming? I'll take you with me!"

Ming Jiayi deliberately lowered her voice, "No need, you guys play~"

Bai Li couldn't help but laugh when he heard Ming Jiayi's voice.

Geng Zhe stared at Bai Li meaningfully for a while, then said, "You guys... something's not right."

Bai Li and Ming Jiayi looked at Geng Zhe with some confusion, then they answered in unison, "Something's not right?"

Geng Zhe looked as if he had discovered some earth-shattering secret, his expression becoming exaggerated. He asked in a very low voice, "Are you two a couple?"

Ming Jiayi looked puzzled, then instinctively waved her hand, "No, no, no, you've misunderstood. We're just friends."

Bai Li glanced at Ming Jiayi, then smiled and echoed, "Yes, we're just friends."

Geng Zhe looked at the two of them with disbelief.

The entertainment industry is a mixed bag.

His relationship with Ming Jiayi and Bai Li wasn't much better either.

So it's normal that they refuse to admit it.

But their answer and performance...

They're definitely a couple!

Ming Jiayi squinted, staring at Geng Zhe with a somewhat serious expression.

Didn't we already say they're just friends? Why do you still look so unconvinced?

Don't make wild guesses...

Bai Li glanced at Ming Jiayi, then at Geng Zhe, and then spoke meticulously.

"We're not really a couple right now, but I'm going to pursue her. I'll let you know when I succeed."

Ming Jiayi turned to look at Bai Li with a question mark on her face.

What the heck? Did she just hallucinate?

Geng Zhe excitedly patted Bai Li on the shoulder, "Wow! My brother is awesome! Keep it up!"

Bai Li smiled at Geng Zhe and said, "Thank you, I will."

Ming Jiayi waved her hand through the gap between the two of them, "Wait, what's with the 'cheer up'?"

Bai Li took Ming Jiayi's hand and looked at her sincerely and passionately, "I'm serious."

Ming Jiayi quickly pulled her hand away. She helplessly rubbed her forehead, thought for a while, and then pulled Bai Li back to the dressing room.

"You were just making things up, weren't you? You weren't really trying to pursue me."

Bai Li shook his head and answered seriously, "I'm not making excuses, I really want to pursue you."

Ming Jiayi took a deep breath and then replied seriously, "You don't need to pursue me. I don't like you, there's no possibility between us, we can only be friends."

Bai Li's eyes were particularly sincere. "No, how do you know if you don't try?"

I studied medicine in college, and after a year of internship, I switched careers to become an actor. You, on the other hand, know a little about first aid and have been an actor since college.

We met because of our two different professions, and our family backgrounds are very similar, so you could say we were a perfect match.

“What’s the use of being well-matched in social status? I don’t like you,” Ming Jiayi replied.

Bai Li shook his head and replied earnestly, "Liking someone can be cultivated. Besides love at first sight, there can also be feelings that grow over time."
