Chapter 385: Marriage
As a newcomer who joined the crew without even an audition, Ye Wanxi is clearly a relative. Before her acting skills are recognized by these people, she will inevitably have to go through a period of being questioned and watched.
Breaking the silence first, Yun Youna, who plays the female lead, expressed goodwill towards Ye Wanxi: "You must be Ye Wanxi, right? My name is Yun Youna, and I play Ye Hongmei in the drama. I think I'm a few years older than you. If you don't mind, you can call me Sister Yun."
Ye Wanxi could tell that she meant her no harm, and her face lit up with a smile. She said politely, "Hello, Sister Yun. I am Ye Wanxi, who plays Narcissus in the drama. This is my first time on set. I hope you will take good care of me in the future."
After Ye Wanxi finished speaking, she noticed that Yun Youna hadn't said a word for a long time. When she looked up, she found that Yun Youna was staring at her blankly.
"Sister Yun? Sister Yun?"
Ye Wanxi called out several times before Yun Youna reacted, praising excitedly, "You look so beautiful when you smile, your eyes are so bright, your face is so small, and you even have a dimple on your right cheek. Of all the actresses I've seen, you're the one who suits my taste the most. Don't worry, I'll protect you from now on. If anyone bullies you on set, just tell me, and I'll back you up."
"???" Was she being teased or mocked?
When you meet her, you compliment her on her looks and how good she is to your liking. You're not flirting with her or implying that she's just a pretty face.
Before Ye Wanxi could speculate further, a figure suddenly walked over and headbutted Yun Yuna.
"Ouch!" Yun Yuna covered her head and dodged backward, angrily saying, "Zhang Yitao, you bastard, why did you hit me for no reason?"
"Don't you know why I hit you? Stop messing with other girls. I've heard you say the same thing countless times. The girl who suits your taste is always the next one. You scumbag."
"How am I a jerk? Who doesn't like pretty girls? I'm not trying to marry them, I just want to be their best friends. How is that being a jerk? Can't people have a little hobby of appreciating beauty?"
Zhang Yitao rolled his eyes at her, clearly disdainful of her playboy remarks, and simply ignored her, instead greeting Ye Wanxi.
“Miss Ye, I’m Zhang Yitao, you can just call me Brother Zhang.” Zhang Yitao glanced at Yun Yuna as he spoke and sighed, “This guy is always reckless, don’t take it to heart.”
Ye Wanxi glanced between the two of them and smiled, "It's alright. I actually think Sister Yun's personality is quite adorable."
Upon hearing this, Yun Youna immediately felt like she had found a powerful backer, and smugly raised her chin at Zhang Yitao: "See? See? You straight men just don't understand the sisterhood between us girls. You really don't know me..."
Yun Yuna realized she had almost let something slip halfway through her sentence, and quickly stopped herself, saying, "Never mind, you wouldn't understand even if I told you."
Zhang Yitao was almost amused by her, and after rolling his eyes at her, he was called away by the staff.
The two of them really livened up the atmosphere with their antics.
Although the other veteran actors and younger actors didn't greet Ye Wanxi like Yun You Na did, they at least toned down their initially blatantly probing gazes considerably.
Ye Wanxi arrived a little late, and the crew didn't have enough makeup artists, so she had to wait for one to be available.
Yun Youna had nothing to do at the moment, so she stayed by her side, chattering away.
After talking for a while, Yun Youna suddenly stopped talking, looked around mysteriously, and asked in a low voice, "I heard that you can read faces and tell fortunes."
Ye Wanxi looked at Yun Youna's furtive behavior and smiled slightly.
Yun Youna chuckled and shook Ye Wanxi's hand: "Then... could you help me with my fortune telling?"
"How to predict one's marriage prospects?"
“Yes.” Yun Yuna paused for a moment, her eyes lighting up. “I want to calculate my relationship with my boyfriend… ah, my boyfriend isn’t that Zhang Yitao guy, he is…”
Before Yun Youna could finish speaking, Ye Wanxi interrupted her, saying, "I know, he's your brother-in-law."
"How did you know?!" Yun Youna exclaimed in surprise.
She and Zhang Yitao were senior and junior members of the same group. Because they often played lovers or husband and wife in dramas, and they often teased each other on set, many people thought they were a couple.
In reality, Zhang Yitao's wife is Yun Yuna's older sister.
The reason the two are always bickering is because Yun You Na feels that this jerk has stolen her beloved older sister, and she really hates him.
Zhang Yitao, on the other hand, treated her like a child. He was quite disdainful of the child's behavior of baring his teeth and showing hostility towards him when the person the child loved most was taken away by him, and he had a sense of superiority.
This may be the legendary irreconcilable class conflict between a brother-in-law and his sister-in-law.
For so long, Ye Wanxi is the first person who didn't link them together or expose their relationship.
"I can tell."
"You can tell that?" Yun Youna perked up instantly, her eyes shining as she stared at Ye Wanxi.
"Of course, although you are not related by blood, you are related by kinship. It's easy to see when you stand together."
Yun Yuna pursed her lips and said awkwardly, "Then could you help me calculate the compatibility between me and my boyfriend? Don't worry, I won't let you do it for free."
As Yun Yuna spoke, she began to take out money. She must have known that Ye Wanxi would come today, and she was afraid that Ye Wanxi would not accept the transfer, so she specially brought cash.
In no time, he pulled out several large red bills and tried to stuff them into Ye Wanxi's arms.
"Wait a minute." Ye Wanxi quickly stopped her when she saw this, and took out five more: "These are enough, you don't need so many."
"Is that enough?" Yun Yuna looked down at the large stack of cash in her hand, surprised that someone would not even accept money delivered to her!
"Okay, that's enough. Didn't you want your marriage fortune told? Let's do a character divination. Write a character for me."
"Ah, oh!" Yun Yuna then remembered the important matter, hastily put the money away, and wrote a word in Ye Wanxi's palm.
"OK?"
"Hmm." Yun Youna's face flushed slightly. Xing was her boyfriend's name. "Can it be counted?"
"Yes. The Chinese character '行' (xíng) in oracle bone script depicts an irregular crossroads. This suggests that your relationship is currently at a crossroads, with too many paths leading to the future, leaving you unsure of which to choose and hesitant."
Yun Yuna's heart skipped a beat; Ye Wanxi was right!
She and her boyfriend were indeed in a state of great uncertainty about the future. Her boyfriend was a photographer, but he wasn't famous and his income was unstable and not as high as hers.
Her parents have always had a problem with him because of this and want them to break up.
Their relationship was not blessed by their parents, and they were both very anxious during this time. She hadn't spoken to him on the phone for several days.
