Yu Shishu allocated a very high budget for location shooting. He didn't care about spending money on filming. The assistant director even planned to book the entire set in the morning, not only to let the actors get familiar with the shoot, but also so that everyone could have some fun. Apart from Ye Zhiwei and her friends, who discussed the project with Ye Yingying, the extras were basically all from the crew.

Because of the involvement in racing, the male staff members and male actors in the crew arrived at the club earlier than usual. The boys all have a racing dream and are eager to try it out, including the male lead, Wen Zhaolin. Although he looks gentle and kind, he is also very interested in racing and was very happy when he learned that today's scene was being filmed at a racing club.

Today's scene is mainly to film some of the more negative changes in Yingzi's heart after she has fallen into depravity. She is about to be completely assimilated, and this part of the scene is to explore more layers of emotions in Yingzi's heart.

From a kind-hearted college student to someone who stumbles into a world of luxury, dazzled by its allure, lingering at the balls of the wealthy, experiencing the happiness brought by luxury goods, feeling the vanity within the glitz and glamour, developing a gradually changing admiration for the murderer protagonist, harboring the deepest inferiority complex buried in her heart, and today at the racetrack with the protagonist, where her dashing figure, who should have been sitting next to him, was instead taken by another beautiful woman, and after realizing that she was not actually the most unique person in the protagonist's heart, she couldn't suppress her jealousy.

In this scene, the male lead truly controls Yingzi, who becomes almost a puppet, completely manipulated by emotions. In later scenes, she actively takes the blame for the male lead, becoming a sacrifice.

Ye Yingying's scenes are also nearing completion.

She was originally a supporting character who occupied a significant portion of the early plot. After her tragic exit, she was almost never mentioned again. Occasionally, a man who had a crush on Yingzi during his university years would stand up for her and accuse the male lead of pushing her into a desperate situation. The man would sit among a group of women, smoking and squinting, and after thinking for a long time, he would ask, "Who is Yingzi? I don't remember her."

Then the women around him burst into laughter.

This is one of the few emotional scenes in the series. The main character of Yu Shishu is not a hero or a good person; he is a complete devil.

Ye Yingying didn't need to put on makeup in the morning. She came with Ye Zhiwei and Jiang Jianian. The assistant director asked several times if Ye Yingying had come. When he heard that Ye Yingying had come, he was happy and asked someone to greet Ye Zhiwei who came with her. Unexpectedly, he learned from the staff that the other person who came with her was a boy, and a very handsome young man at that.

The assistant director was taken aback. "I thought Xiao Ye was talking about a girl, but it turns out it's a guy?"

He initially assumed it might be the boy Ye Yingying liked, as he had heard Ye Yingying's interest in Peking University a few times before, so the assistant director didn't think much of it.

Ye Yingying is pretty, and it's normal for her to have one or two male friends at this age when she's just starting to experience romantic feelings. He didn't think much of it and had someone call Ye Yingying over to subtly inquire about Ye Zhiwei's situation. "Your sister—that Miss Ye—suddenly had something to do yesterday afternoon and left. I hope she won't run away again today like yesterday."

"Probably not today," Ye Yingying replied.

Jiang Jianian has already come all this way and is even planning to meet Yu Shishu in person. This time, even if Ye Zhiwei wants to leave, she'll have to see if Jiang Jianian is willing to let her go.

The assistant director breathed a sigh of relief, then, as if remembering something, offered Ye Yingying a few words of advice as a senior figure in the entertainment industry: "You brought a boy over today? Ye, it's normal for someone your age to date, but bringing him here isn't a good idea, is it? The entertainment industry isn't as innocent as you think. Remember when our crew trended on social media and Director Yu got so angry? Director Yu hates it when actors in a drama have scandals before the show even airs. If you and your boyfriend are photographed by someone with ulterior motives, not only will Director Yu be angry, but it won't be good for your future acting career either. You can date secretly, but don't bring him to the set so openly now."

Ye Yingying nodded as she listened to the beginning, but she froze completely when she heard the end, especially when the assistant director mentioned that Jiang Jianian was her boyfriend. For the first time, her face turned extremely ugly.

In Ye Yingying's eyes, Jiang Jianian was just as bad as the devilish male lead she played in this drama. If Ye Zhiwei hadn't also liked Jiang Jianian, Ye Yingying would have had to keep convincing herself that Jiang Jianian had some good qualities that she couldn't see. Now, after hearing the assistant director's words, she had to face her own heart: she still felt that Jiang Jianian was not good enough for Ye Zhiwei at all.

After taking a deep breath and mentally preparing herself, Ye Yingying corrected the assistant director, "Director, you've misunderstood. He has nothing to do with me."

The assistant director looked at Ye Yingying in astonishment, his eyes wide open, almost speechless for a moment. His shock was no less than Ye Yingying's when she heard the assistant director misunderstand Jiang Jianian as her boyfriend. "You...you say it again, that boy, that boy wasn't with you, then who was he with?"

Ye Yingying smiled and gently replied to the assistant director, "He came with Sister Zhiwei. He's probably worried that there are too many good-looking guys in the crew, so he came to pick some peach blossoms for Sister Zhiwei."

Assistant Director: !!!

He now regrets his loose tongue yesterday. He never expected that Ye Zhiwei would have a boy by her side, and according to Ye Zhiwei, the two seem to be very close.

The assistant director sat there in shock for a long time, almost out of his mind, before finally asking, "Do you think I can find a reason to get rid of them now?"

How could that be!

Inviting a Buddha is easy, but sending him away is difficult. How could Jiang Jianian possibly leave without personally plucking out Yu Shishu, this little flower bud?

When Ye Yingying appeared with Ye Zhiwei and Jiang Jianian, most of the actors in the crew didn't think of Ye Zhiwei and Jiang Jianian as a couple. They all misunderstood that Ye Yingying was too immature to bring her young boyfriend along, and that her boyfriend was so handsome and had a cold and aloof demeanor, not very caring.

until--

Jiang Jianian, who didn't seem to know how to take care of people, noticed that Ye Zhiwei was feeling stuffy in the room, so he casually took a fan and fanned her. He carefully tidied up the little hairs that were showing through Ye Zhiwei's high ponytail, and even carefully tucked the strands of hair behind her ears.

When he noticed that Ye Zhiwei's sneakers had come undone, he would immediately put his fan aside, squat down, and tie the shoelaces for her. Despite looking like someone who would be spoiled by girls, and having a cold, expressionless face that seemed unapproachable from the moment he appeared, he was surprisingly adept at taking care of Ye Zhiwei, doing things that were not his usual way of doing things.

He's actually Ye Zhiwei's boyfriend?

The artists were secretly amazed. They had originally thought that Ye Zhiwei and their director would stage a drama of a domineering young lady and an innocent young director, but this was completely shattered by the appearance of Jiang Jianian.

Several celebrities couldn't resist taking out their phones to gossip, until someone suddenly mentioned: Director Yu is here!

Only then did everyone realize that Yu Shishu had arrived at the scene at some point. His gaze fell on Ye Zhiwei, and then on Jiang Jianian beside Ye Zhiwei.
