Jiang Jianian used the excuse of apologizing to the extras to not only completely nip Ye Zhiwei's budding romance in the bud, but also to start a relationship with Ye Zhiwei here.

While the rest of the crew were still rehearsing their scenes, Ye Zhiwei blushed several times because of Jiang Jianian.

She took a few sips of the bottled water, and Jiang Jianian would naturally take it from her, saying that she was also thirsty.

When she was touching the race car and was flustered and at a loss, Jiang Jianian would let Ye Zhiwei sit in the passenger seat.

Because the atmosphere was great and none of the people present were professional race car drivers, the assistant director suggested that Wen Zhaolin could play a few laps on the racetrack with the others to get a feel for it.

Ye Zhiwei was particularly excited because several actors from different film crews had decided to join this entertainment-oriented competition. Although she couldn't drive, it didn't stop her from enjoying this kind of tense and exciting competition, and she even dragged Jiang Jianian along, wanting to join as well.

Jiang Jianian asked her, "You can drive? You're so clumsy with the brake and accelerator."

Ye Zhiwei glared at Jiang Jianian, "Of course you're the one who drives! Jiang Jianian, you're doing this on purpose! You're just making fun of me for being stupid!"

Ye Zhiwei was so angry that she tried to pinch Jiang Jianian, but Jiang Jianian smiled and coaxed her.

The sweeter the two were, the more gloomy things seemed to be hanging over Yu Shishu.

The assistant director was terrified. From the moment Yu Shishu appeared, he was on tenterhooks as Jiang Jianian and Ye Zhiwei flirted and teased each other without a care in the world. Yu Shishu, in particular, who could usually control himself, was now staring at Jiang Jianian and Ye Zhiwei with his eyes glued to him. He must have been in a terrible mood. The more fun they had, the more upset he became.

Finally, even the assistant director couldn't stand Ye Zhiwei continuing to flirt with her boyfriend, so he suggested they play a few rounds of racing. Since none of them had much experience with cars, it would be a good opportunity for the male lead to get a feel for racing.

Ye Zhiwei eventually pushed Jiang Jianian to change into his racing suit.

Seeing that Ye Zhiwei seemed to want to join in, Ye Yingying smiled and suggested, "How about this: in the first round, a girl sits next to you so the pace is a little slower. Once everyone is familiar with each other, we can have a competition with only you guys."

The suggestion was immediately agreed upon by everyone, especially some male celebrities. Although they were very interested in racing, they had never actually done it before and were hesitant to join the race. They felt that if they went for it from the start, they would be a little scared, but if they didn't go for it, they would feel embarrassed with so many women around.

At Ye Yingying's suggestion, Ye Zhiwei got her wish and sat in the passenger seat of Jiang Jianian. Before the assistant director called "start," she kept telling Jiang Jianian, "You have to be quick during the competition—none of us are professionals, maybe we'll be number one."

As soon as the race started, Ye Zhiwei immediately backed down, gripping the handrail tightly, her face slightly pale, and kept urging Jiang Jianian, "Jiang Jianian, slow down! Slow down! Don't drive so fast—"

From initial excitement to recognizing one's own limitations, the process of admitting defeat was remarkably swift.

Jiang Jianian's car speed went from initially flooring the accelerator to becoming the slowest in the entire event after Ye Zhiwei pleaded with him.

While the men derive a sense of accomplishment from the girls' screams and feel an inexplicable urge to sprint even harder, Jiang Jianian keeps a close eye on Ye Zhiwei out of the corner of his eye, slowing down whenever he notices that Ye Zhiwei is even slightly uncomfortable.

Restraint and forbearance.

The feeling that Jiang Jianian gave Yu Shishu was very different.

He sensed Jiang Jianian's contradictions. He wondered why Ye Zhiwei would like Jiang Jianian, who clearly had a faint aura of hostility and gloom around him and didn't seem like a good person.

Now Yu Shishu understands that Jiang Jianian was too gentle with Ye Zhiwei. It wasn't gentleness in the traditional sense, but gentleness that went to the best of his ability. He sometimes seemed gloomy and cold, like a devil, but in Yu Shishu's world, a devil could only be cold and devoid of any warmth. Even if he looked elegant and charming, he should be corrupt and depraved inside.

The scripts he chose featured villains who seemed to have happy endings, but in reality, they were just taking steps towards darkness under the guise of glamour, because their lives were filled with nothing but destruction.

No one can save the devil.

That was what he originally thought.

Jiang Jianian's actions towards Ye Zhiwei were all very rational and restrained, as if he only cared about making Ye Zhiwei happy.

I read the book for a long time.

In this recreational competition, Wen Zhaolin won first place, while Jiang Jianian came in last.

Sitting next to Wen Zhaolin, Ye Yingying's expression changed drastically. She was clearly not used to this kind of racing. Even someone as good at controlling her emotions as Ye Yingying looked uncomfortable, let alone the other female artists. Most of the artists present were quite young. In this situation, the boys were the most playful. They were having a great time, enjoying themselves so much that they wanted to race a few more times. Only after getting out of the car did they realize that they had been too busy having fun. The female artists sitting in the passenger seat all looked pale, except for Ye Zhiwei, who was still jumping around.

The female celebrity complained that the male celebrity was too fast and didn't consider their feelings at all. The male celebrity even retorted in a very naive way: "How come the young lady is fine? Maybe you girls aren't physically fit enough and don't exercise much. You should rest for a while after filming and go for a run or something!"

Female celebrity: ...

Ye Yingying sat down to rest, and Wen Zhaolin, feeling a little guilty, took a glass of water and handed it to her, saying, "I'm sorry, I was driving too fast at the time and didn't pay much attention to what you said."

Ye Yingying took the water, knowing in her heart that Wen Zhaolin had actually heard her request for the other party to drive slower. However, at the time, he might have been focused on winning or had already gotten into the racing scene of the male lead in the script. No matter what the reason, it was impossible for him not to notice as he said. However, Ye Yingying did not complain or joke like other female artists. After taking the water, her expression softened and she could even smile and say, "It's just a little uncomfortable, but it's still acceptable."

When Ye Zhiwei saw that Ye Yingying was not feeling well, she came over to check on her. When she heard Ye Yingying say that she felt a little nauseous, she immediately pushed Jiang Jianian to the infirmary to see if there was any medicine available.

Several female celebrities sitting next to Ye Yingying said with a smile, "Yingying's sister is in the best condition among us this time."

"Yingying, is that guy you mentioned last time who's almost become your boyfriend?"

"Is this what you call 'okay'?" The female celebrity couldn't help but say, "It's not just 'okay' at all. You're too outstanding. I thought you were a performing arts student. And you're so gentle with your sister. At first, I thought you wouldn't be able to take care of people and would be hard to get along with."

“He is indeed not easy to get along with.” Ye Yingying hesitated for a moment before saying, “He is only like this in front of my sister—if Sister Zhiwei were not here, you would see an even more difficult side of him.”

"Director Yu's chances are over, right?" A female actress, a sophomore majoring in acting in the film crew, whispered to Ye Yingying, "Are they about to start dating? I saw in the group chat that he was the top scorer in this year's college entrance exam, a real academic genius..."

Ye Yingying sensitively noticed the female artist's admiration for Jiang Jianian in her words. The female artist herself might not have realized it, and such admiration is quite common, nothing more than the inevitable feeling of admiration when facing a very outstanding boy. However, Ye Yingying still couldn't help but frown slightly. Without hesitation, she gave the female artist a meaningful look and said directly, "Director Yu definitely has no chance. He is already my sister's boyfriend."
