The male actor, Lü Mingyou, who has romantic scenes with Shen Zhiyi, is quite happy.

He had liked her for a long time, and now that he finally had the opportunity to act with Shen Zhiyi, he would cherish this hard-won opportunity and get closer to her.

"Zhiyi," Lü Mingyou said, walking over with the script. "Shall we rehearse our lines together?"

Shen Zhiyi readily agreed, "Okay."

She picked up the script and turned around. Lu Mingyou had already pulled up a chair and sat down next to her, leaning closer.

Shen Zhiyi felt somewhat uncomfortable.

Seeing her shrink back, Lü Mingyou laughed and said, "Zhiyi, we have a hugging scene later. Let's get closer now so it won't be awkward later."

She thought about it and agreed.

Just as he was about to approach, he was picked up along with his chair and placed a little further away from Lü Mingyou.

Lü Mingyou: ...

Shen Zhiyi turned around in shock, "Li Yunqian, what are you doing?"

Li Yunqian's eyes were indifferent, but a cold glint appeared in his gaze as he looked at Lü Mingyou. He said in a low voice, "If you're going to rehearse your lines, then rehearse your lines. Why are you standing so close?"

"If someone with ill intentions takes a picture of you later, they'll start spreading rumors about you again."

Shen Zhiyi's heart skipped a beat.

Yes, she has a bad reputation.

If the photos get out, people will probably say she's having an affair with a male celebrity off-screen.

Li Yunqian is right. She still needs to keep her distance from these people and not allow any possibility of scandal.

Seeing the wary look on her face, Lü Mingyou glanced at Li Yunqian with some displeasure, suppressed his anger, and forced a smile at Shen Zhiyi, saying, "Zhiyi, don't worry, we're just trying to get into character as soon as possible. Even if someone takes pictures, they'll see that we're holding scripts, so no one will write anything wrong."

"That's not necessarily true," Li Yunqian sneered. "As an actor, if you can't get into character immediately during filming, then your professional level is lacking."

"You're a loser?" he said bluntly, but every word was full of provocation.

Lu Mingyou was furious. He jumped up from his chair and yelled, "You're just an assistant, what are you doing pointing fingers here?!"

"Do you even know anything about opera?!"

Li Yunqian didn't look at him. Instead, he squatted down, looked at Shen Zhiyi, glanced down slightly, and said quietly, "Little darling, he was mean to me."

Lü Mingyou: ? ? ?
