Chapter 386: Water Brings Fortune
Thinking of the suffocating "cold war" the two had been going on, Yun Youna's smile vanished completely, and she asked with a hint of humility and caution, "Do I still have a chance with him?"
Ye Wanxi looked at her slightly red eyes, as if she might cry at any moment, and sighed: "The left side of the character '行' (xíng) is the 'double person' radical, which means that two people only have one leg. This implies that marriage is a matter for two people, and they need to move forward together and support each other to make it last. And this often requires the other half in the marriage to understand, support, and trust each other."
Upon hearing Ye Wanxi's words, Yun Youna gradually forgot her sorrow and looked bewildered.
"The word '行' as a whole means action and walking. It is already urging you to make a choice. As the saying goes, 'A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.' If you hesitate and delay taking this step, you may end up missing out on your ideal partner and regretting it for the rest of your life."
"Missed out my perfect match?" Yun Youna's eyes brightened slightly. "You mean he was my perfect match?"
"You already have the answer in your heart, don't you?" Ye Wanxi smiled. "Putting aside what I just said in the divination, what kind of person do you think your boyfriend is?"
“He…” Yun Yuna paused, “He is very good, a very good person, and very kind to me. He is a very gentle person.”
"What else?"
“He is…” Yun Yuna said, then suddenly noticed Ye Wanxi pointing to her palm, her eyes narrowing slightly, “Good. He is very good.”
Ye Wanxi nodded with a faint smile: "This is my answer, and it's also your answer."
"I understand." Yun Yuna sniffed, feeling as if the heavy stone that had been weighing on her heart for the past few days had finally been lifted, and she felt a sense of relief.
She knew better than anyone how hard that person worked and how much he loved his camera. She had initially been drawn to his purity, but at some point, she had begun to gradually forget that.
Because of her parents' opposition, she began to hesitate and waver. She gradually denied his talent, his efforts, and his strengths.
And I've forgotten that I was the one who first fell in love with the other person.
"I know what to do. Thank you for telling me all this. I'll definitely invite you to our wedding banquet."
Upon hearing this, Ye Wanxi's stinginess radar instantly went off.
Attending a wedding banquet → expecting to give a red envelope → the 500 yuan I just received has barely warmed my heart before I have to send it back!
You're such a clever little devil!
The two were sitting in a corner whispering when the director arrived, leading a large group of people toward them.
As soon as he got closer, he noticed that Ye Wanxi hadn't put on makeup or changed out of her costume: "Why haven't you put on makeup or changed your clothes yet?"
Seeing this, Yun Youna stepped forward to speak up for Ye Wanxi: "Director Jiao, this is your fault. Although today is the first day of filming for our crew, and many people haven't joined the crew yet, you can't be so stingy with the makeup artists. You only hired a few people, how many people can they do hair for at a time? These batches have to wait patiently, don't they?"
Director Jiao and Yun Youna have been working together for a long time, and he was both annoyed and amused by her rant: "So, after all this time, it's still my fault?"
"If it's not your fault, whose fault is it?"
Director Jiao chuckled twice and didn't pursue the matter further.
Yun Yuna had just kept the rest of her money on her lap, and when she stood up, she remembered to press it down so it wouldn't fall out.
When I was about to sit back down, I relaxed and a stack of red bills rolled out and landed on the ground.
Director Jiao: "???"
Yun Youna: "!!!"
Everyone: "..."
Director Jiao was stunned for a moment, then bent down to pick up the money and rustled it around: "Why are you carrying so much cash? Did you rob a bank last night?"
Yun Youna snatched the money back: "You're the one who robbed a bank! This is the fortune-telling fee I prepared for Xiao Ye. Who knew she would only take a few bills and not want these?"
"The fortune-telling fee?" Director Jiao's eyes immediately drifted to Ye Wanxi. "You had your fortune told by her?"
“Yes.” Yun Yuna had already returned to her previous carefree self, enthusiastically recommending to everyone, “Director Jiao, you don’t know, Wanxi’s calculations are incredibly accurate. Before I even had a chance to say anything, she had already guessed most of my situation. This five hundred yuan was well spent!”
Director Jiao's lips twitched slightly: "Is it really that amazing?"
"Of course, don't you know who I am? We've cooperated so many times, when have I ever lied to you?"
Director Jiao stroked his chin and pondered for a moment: "You really can calculate everything?"
Ye Wanxi had a feeling that something was wrong. Wasn't she here today to attend the opening ceremony and act? Why was she back to her old ways?
However, faced with skepticism and the business that was about to come her way, Ye Wanxi was not going to turn away any offers.
"As long as the money is right, even demons and monsters will be defeated."
Everyone: "???"
Having grown accustomed to all sorts of humility, modesty, and flattery, this was the first time they had ever seen someone so outspoken about money.
Whether it was bragging or just being honest, Ye Wanxi's words certainly piqued the curiosity of many people.
This naturally included Director Jiao: "Such a big mouth. Then you calculate, is today an auspicious day for filming to begin? And what is the auspicious time? If you guess right, I'll give you five hundred yuan."
The production team couldn't possibly be completely unaware of these things on the day filming began. Director Jiao had already had people repeatedly analyze and calculate them. When he suddenly asked Ye Wanxi this question, he wanted to test whether she truly had real talent.
Ye Wanxi: "I want a thousand."
Director Jiao: "..." And they even tried to raise prices on the spot?
The actors: "..." He's a monster who dares to swindle money from the director!
"One thousand it is."
Ye Wanxi was satisfied: "Today is indeed an auspicious day for starting filming. The auspicious time is between 10:00 and 12:00, but I suggest starting at 10:30. It will drizzle a little after the prayers are finished."
There's a custom in the entertainment industry for film and television opening ceremonies: "It's auspicious if it involves water."
The saying goes that on the day of the opening ceremony, a light drizzle that wouldn't affect the overall ceremony was a very good omen, signifying that the drama would be very successful and bring great wealth.
Director Jiao looked up at the blazing sun overhead, his expression subtle.
With such a bright sun, are you telling me it's going to rain soon?
Several staff members who were watching the commotion also joined in the discussion.
"There's only an hour left until 10:30. The sky is cloudless and the sun is shining so brightly. It doesn't look like it's going to rain."
“My husband knew we were starting filming today, so he checked the weather forecast last night. It’s not going to rain here today.”
"Last night, I just checked my phone, and today and tomorrow, the next 48 hours are all sunny, no rain. Can her words be more accurate than the weather forecast? And she even said it would rain right after the prayer? She's really overdoing it."
