Chapter 64: The Movie Star's Crazy Ex-Girlfriend (15)

Gu Yiqin went to the town to get some cold medicine and bought a black-boned chicken. He borrowed a villager's stove and personally stewed chicken soup, which he then put into a thermos.

Then they found Chen Fang, who lived with Wen Wan, and handed her the chicken soup and medicine.

"What's going on, Teacher Gu?"

“Xiao Wang lives with you. She caught a cold, didn’t she? The medical facilities here are not great, so I made some chicken soup for her. I hope she gets better soon.”

Chen Fang took the thermos, utterly astonished. What had this young Wang done to deserve such a privilege? He actually got to drink chicken soup personally delivered by Teacher Gu. "Why didn't Teacher Gu deliver it himself?"

"If I deliver it myself, she will feel pressured. Don't say that I delivered it. Just bring the thermos over after she finishes drinking it."

Chen Fang nodded and agreed.

As soon as they got back to the room, Chen Fang grabbed Wen Wan and almost rubbed her mask off. "Xiao Wang, look what I brought you! Fresh black chicken soup."

Smelling the delicious aroma, Wen Wan adjusted her mask while coughing, "Thank you, you're so kind to me. I'll put it aside and drink it later."

"And cold medicine, do you know who sent it?"

"who?"

"Teacher Gu! Teacher Gu bought you medicine and made you chicken soup. Xiao Wang, you are so lucky. This illness was worth it."

Gu Yiqin?

Why make her chicken soup?

Another stagehand, hearing the noise, ran over in surprise, "Did Teacher Gu really give it to you?"

"Of course, Teacher Gu didn't want me to tell you that it was him who gave it to you, because he was afraid you would feel guilty. Teacher Gu is just too kind."

Wen Wan: Hehe.

She felt extremely guilty.

He quickly called out to the system, "Did I give myself away somewhere? Could it be that Gu Yiqin has become suspicious of me since yesterday?"

The system was also somewhat frightened.

[Don't rush. If the male lead knows you're a naive girl, this chicken soup is definitely poisoned. You can try it; if you don't die, it proves you haven't been exposed.]

Wen Yan: "???"

It has been verified that it is a compatible system.

"Thank you for your suggestion!"

After the stagehands went to work, Wen Wan got out of bed and looked at the chicken soup. Not only was there chicken soup, but there was also black-boned chicken meat on the side.

"Honey, is this safe to drink?"

Before the system could even respond, Wen Wan had already surveyed her surroundings, pulled her mask down to her chin, licked a small sip from the thermos, and then squinted her eyes and took a big gulp like a cat.

It's fresh and fragrant.

Then he picked up a piece of chicken and ate it. "It's not dry and it's very flavorful. I didn't expect Gu Yiqin, who looks like an immortal, to have such excellent cooking skills."

"And the fact that I wasn't poisoned proves that my disguise hasn't been exposed yet. I think Gu Yiqin might be showing me humanistic concern because I caught a cold yesterday when I went up the mountain with him."

System: [Maybe.]

It always felt something was off; why would it personally stew chicken soup for such an ordinary reason?

However, the reason could not be analyzed in a short time.

Not a single drop of soup was left. Wen Wan let out a burp and said, "What a pity. After I fake my death, I'll never be able to drink this black chicken soup that the male lead personally stewed for me again."

When Chen Fang returned, Wen Wan had already put her mask back on. Chen Fang looked at the black chicken soup that had been completely drunk, and there was a pile of leftover chicken bones next to it.

"Now that you've finished the soup, I'll wash the thermos and return it to you. You should rest well, and remember to thank Teacher Gu in person when you're better from your cold."

Wen Wan: "Thank you, Sister Chen, and please thank Teacher Gu for me too."

Gu Yiqin soon received the thermos that Chen Fang had brought back. "Did you finish it all?"

"After finishing her drink, Xiao Wang asked me to thank Teacher Gu on her behalf. She said, 'Your cooking is excellent, and the chicken soup is delicious and comforting. You wouldn't believe it, she was so moved that she cried while drinking it.'"

"That's good."

Gu Yiqin happily carried the thermos back home, and on the way he met Chen Xian, who said, "Yiqin, you seem to be in a good mood!"

Gu Yiqin: "Hmm."

"By the way, Xianghan said she wanted to thank you in person. You found her on the mountain, and she wants to treat you to a meal."

"It was just a coincidence, tell her not to take it to heart."

"Okay, I'll pass on the message. Xianghan's foot should be healed in the next few days. Once we finish filming the scenes here, my drama will be almost finished."

"Congratulations, Director Chen, your new drama is sure to be a huge hit."

"I hope so. But I also want to thank you this time. If it weren't for your help in training these actors, the effect would have been much less impressive." After all, there were quite a few newcomers in this production team.

"It's all their own hard work; it has nothing to do with me," Gu Yiqin said, not wanting to take credit.

"You're too modest. Come on, I have a scene I need you to help me with."

...

Wen Wan originally thought that the chicken soup was enough to prove the male lead's kindness.

But the next day, when Wen Wan saw the pork rib soup Chen Fang brought, she felt her heart rate become irregular again. She wasn't stupid, "Was this also brought by Teacher Gu?"

Chen Fang nodded; she was also greatly shocked.

The first time was understandable, but the second time was suspicious. "Xiao Wang, what exactly happened between you and Teacher Gu on the mountain the day before yesterday?"

Wen Wan quickly shook her head, "Nothing happened. I'm just an ordinary stagehand. I just encountered a snake, and Teacher Gu saved me and made me soup. Maybe it's because Teacher Gu is too kind and good-hearted?"

Chen Fang: "..."

She felt it wasn't such a simple reason, so she stared at Wen Wan's face and said, "Xiao Wang, I don't think I've ever seen what you look like before. You have such beautiful eyes, and your allergy hasn't healed yet?"

Wen Wan covered her face with her mask and said, "It's not better yet, and it probably won't get better anytime soon."

"How about I take a look at it for you?"

Wen Wan's heart jumped instantly, "!!!"

"No...no need, it's too ugly. I don't want to scare you. I'm a bit insecure. I'm not good-looking to begin with, and now my face is covered in red rashes. Please don't make things difficult for me."

Fortunately, Chen Fang wasn't oblivious to the situation. "Alright, then drink the pork rib soup while it's hot."

After Chen Fang left, Wen Wan breathed a sigh of relief. Looking at the thermos in her arms, she said seriously, "System, I don't think this is a good thing."

System: [I think so too.]

"But what did I do that aroused suspicion? And if Gu Yiqin knew I was Bai Cha, shouldn't he have poisoned me? Why did he make soup for me?"

The system doesn't know.

"Maybe I should just run away first."

—

Gu Yiqin was waiting for Wen Wan to admit it, but on the third day, he stewed chicken soup and prepared to have it delivered to her, only to find out that she was no longer on set.

"Xiao Wang had some family matters to attend to and rushed back last night."

Did she say where she lives?

Chen Fang shook her head. "She didn't say."

Gu Yiqin went to the production team to ask about the person in charge of recruitment, but the other party did not remember such a person and could not get any information. Gu Yiqin even looked through the staff's files, but there was no information about Xiao Wang.

It disappeared.

Were you scared away by him?

Because he brought soup? He definitely crossed the line.

Gu Yiqin regretted it a little, then picked up his phone to send a private message to ask, but after typing a message, he deleted it word by word.

Why? She doesn't want to acknowledge me; she just doesn't want me to know.

Soon after Chen Xian's filming wrapped up, Gu Yiqin did not attend the wrap party but went straight back to his apartment.
