Ning Qiluo set off for Baishan the next day.

She came alone this time; neither Fu Zai nor Xie Ya came. Anyway, the filming period was only one week, and all the actions were completed on the show, including eating and living with the other female guests.

"Qi Luo, we meet again."

Xiang Bei took the initiative to greet her.

Recording hasn't started yet, so you can say whatever you want.

Xiang Bei is about the same age as Ning Qiluo, just turned 21 this year. He debuted as a trainee and has someone supporting him. He is handsome with bright eyes and white teeth, and is also very tall.

Ning Qiluo responded to Xiang Bei's greeting: "It has been a long time."

My most recent memory of Xiang Bei was the cause of the car accident, which led to him being criticized and trending on social media.

I remember that afternoon on set. She played the third female lead and struck up a conversation with Xiang Bei, who played the male lead. Actually, it was Xiang Bei who initiated the conversation.

How did she react at the time?

She seemed to deliberately move to the side: "My reputation isn't very good right now. If we stand together alone, it'll easily attract criticism."

It is sensible to take the initiative to avoid it.

Xiang Bei, being the way she is, didn't think of it that way. She handed the sushi to her and said, "Director Li is treating everyone to sushi and salmon. Everyone is eating over there. Why don't you go and eat? I think maybe you're a bit shy, so I brought you a serving."

She took the sushi and said to him, "Thank you."

Actors with bad reputations in the industry are gradually avoided by everyone.

Xiang Bei's initiative to get closer made Ning Qiluo feel a long-lost warmth.

Xiang Bei also praised her, saying, "You look especially beautiful when you smile. Although it may seem a bit abrupt for me to say this, I am telling the truth."

Ning Qiluo couldn't help but smile at him again.

The warmth was only given to her briefly.

She was scolded again that afternoon.

Someone took a picture of her and Xiang Bei standing together, chatting and laughing, and posted it online with a critical caption: "[That little bitch Ning Qiluo, she's actually trying to seduce Xiang Bei again, trying to ride on his coattails! Ugh, so infuriating...]"

Xiang Bei is on the road to becoming popular, with nearly ten million followers on Weibo.

Everyone assumed the worst about her.

I remember they were really harsh with their insults back then, and their slanderous remarks were really hurtful. Ning Qiluo still remembers the feeling of helplessness and innocence she felt at that time.

She wanted to explain.

The company says, "What's the point of explaining such a small matter? It's just generating buzz for her."

She wanted to argue.

Her agent and those around her reminded her, "What's the point? You might as well take this opportunity to gain some followers."

When she tries to retaliate, those same people jump out and scrutinize her words.

Forget it, I'm scared.

She's been in the industry for a year and is still in the same state. She's been beaten so badly she's decided to go home...

"Actually, I've always owed you an apology for what happened last time."

Xiang Bei took the initiative to greet him because of this matter.

At the time, I didn't have Ning Qiluo's contact information, and I was too busy to find the time to apologize to her in person because I had caused her to be scolded like that.

When he finally had time, he learned that Ning Qiluo's family background was actually quite impressive.

He thought it over and over and decided to wait a while and apologize when he had the chance to see her. He didn't know what people would say if he rushed to apologize at that time.

"This has nothing to do with you, so don't feel guilty." Ning Qiluo's eyes crinkled, and she really didn't care.

She never blamed Xiang Bei from beginning to end.

"That's good." Xiang Bei breathed a sigh of relief and stood next to her.
