She couldn't let her own emotional issues delay the entire filming schedule.

She cried until her head ached, but there was still hope for the second time. Before drifting off to sleep in the middle of the night, she didn't forget to take an ice pack from the refrigerator and apply it to her eyes for a while.

With filming commitments pressing, she has to put her personal life on hold for now.

She thought that no matter what the outcome, she should at least talk to him face to face.

Perhaps, this is also a way of escaping.

But at least, she doesn't think of him so easily when she's at work.

Jiang Siyan visited the set a week after that phone call, a point at which he shouldn't have left Beicheng.

But the bland message in the chat box seemed to be reminding him that something was about to slip through his fingers.

When he arrived at the filming location, it was afternoon, the sun was blazing, and he could hear the crew shouting "Cut!" from afar.

The sweltering weather made people quite restless, and he immediately spotted the beautiful face behind the camera.

I haven't seen her for two months, and she seems to have lost weight again. I wonder how her manager has been taking care of her.

To fit the character, Su Er wore almost no makeup, and even had deliberately drawn-on sunspots and freckles on her cheeks, but even so, her beauty was undeniable.

As the last shot of the day was finished, Su Er looked nervously at the approaching director and asked, "Director Guo, was that take alright?"

The director glanced at her and said, "Pretty good."

"Really?"

"Why would I let you pass if it weren't allowed?"

"Wow!" Su Er exclaimed softly, grabbing the person next to her in disbelief. "Senior brother, did you hear that? It's pretty good! This is the first time I've heard Director Guo praise me."

Xiao Shiyu was amused by her and laughed, "Director Guo, look what you've done to our leading lady. One 'not bad' and she's laughing so hard her eyes are practically slits."

"You got it in one go, senior brother, you're not allowed to make fun of me." Su Er pretended to slap him.

Xiao Shiyu didn't dodge; instead, he reached out and struck her palm. "Alright, congratulations. I still have a shot to take, so I'll just share in your good fortune."

They high-fived, hugged, and laughed.

Jiang Siyan stood not far away, taking in everything. He curled his lips coldly, turned around, and got into his car.
