The screenwriter frowned slightly and said to Yan Yingying, "Wait here for a bit. Come over when Professor Su returns."
Yan Yingying had no choice but to stop and said, "Okay."
She felt a little wronged.
No sooner had Su Miaoyan left than Meng Hongshen arrived at the side of the group.
He looked over expectantly, his eyes lighting up with delight.
The woman was very slender, and her back view was very similar to that of that day.
So that's where she was! No wonder I didn't notice her!
Those around him noticed Meng Hongshen's gaze and whispered among themselves, "Look, it's Battalion Commander Meng! Battalion Commander Meng is here! Who is he looking at?"
Why is he staring this way? Could it be that he likes you?
"Aren't you ashamed? How can you say such things so casually?"
Shuang Danxue also noticed it. She thought Battalion Commander Meng was looking at her, but upon closer inspection, his gaze was clearly fixed on Yan Yingying.
Meng Hongshen's persona in the military region is that he is eloquent, handsome, and gentle, which is why many cultural and artistic soldiers like him.
Shuangdanxue was no exception.
She suddenly felt uncomfortable. Her eyes darted around, and she walked over with a smile. "Yingying, do you want some water?"
Yan Yingying frowned: "I don't want to drink it now."
Shuang Danxue asked, puzzled, "Why?"
Yan Yingying also noticed Meng Hongshen coming over, but she didn't say anything and just lowered her head shyly.
Is Battalion Commander Meng coming to see me?
She was really looking forward to it.
"Oh, look at Yan Yingying, I thought Battalion Commander Meng came to see her."
"How narcissistic!"
"Forget it, don't say any more. If she hears you, she'll come after you. It's better to avoid trouble. Let's talk in secret."
Yan Yingying was stunned.
Is this referring to her?
She looked up in surprise, and what she saw was Shuang Danxue's concerned expression.
Seeing her looking over, Shuang Danxue asked, "Yingying, are you alright?"
"What do you mean, nothing's wrong?"
Shuang Danxue stammered as she got up.
Yan Yingying felt a bad premonition. She pushed aside Shuang Danxue and looked ahead, but Meng Hongshen was nowhere to be seen. He seemed to have disappeared long ago.
Yan Yingying immediately realized that the surrounding whispers were talking about her.
Her face flushed and paled in an instant. This, this is...
Battalion Commander Meng didn't come looking for me?
Shuang Danxue comforted her, "Yingying, don't worry too much. Maybe they're not talking about you?"
Yan Yingying got even angrier and waved her hand, saying, "Get out of here!"
Shuang Danxue was pushed aside and said pitifully, "I was trying to comfort you, why are you treating me like this?"
Those nearby also witnessed this scene and said, "Yan Yingying, how could you do this? Shuang Danxue was clearly doing this for your own good."
Before Yan Yingying could speak, Shuang Danxue said, "Alright, alright, stop talking. Yingying probably didn't do it on purpose."
The people around Shuang Danxue spoke up for her, saying, "Why are you still taking her side? She treated you like that. Shuang Danxue, you shouldn't talk to her anymore. She's not worth it."
Shuang Danxue said, "But, but Yingying is my best friend..."
Yan Yingying: "Hypocrite!"
Shuang Danxue's eyes seemed to be filled with tears as she took a step back, looking pitiful: "Yingying..."
Miao Qihuai watched with great interest from the side. Wow, this is so exciting!
What era are we living in? Still playing the female-female rivalry game?
Well, it seems like this isn't the 21st century anymore.
It's really interesting to eat melon seeds, but there aren't any here.
When Meng Hongshen realized that Yan Yingying did not look like the person he had met that day, he was disappointed. He wanted to leave, but he was unwilling to give up and chose to watch for a while longer.
His mind was completely focused on Su Miaoyan, so he had no time to listen carefully to other people's names.
That's why I didn't hear Yan Yingying call out anything.
"Alright, now go inside quickly."
The screenwriter led Su Miaoyan out, and seeing Yan Yingying still standing there dumbfounded, quickly invited her inside.
"Oh, okay, teacher."
Yan Yingying stormed into the backstage area.
Seeing the chaotic scene, the screenwriter frowned. "What happened now? Why are they arguing?"
Shuang Danxue smiled and said, "It's nothing, screenwriter. We were just chatting during our break."
The screenwriter's expression softened a bit, and Su Miaoyan didn't take the matter too seriously.
A short while later, Yan Yingying returned. The screenwriter didn't waste any more time and continued, "Three more takes, and then we can call it a day!"
The crowd cheered instantly.
Who doesn't want to go home after get off work?
Miao Qihuai, in particular, gave Tong Mengyun a wink.
Tong Mengyun understood and took out two meat tickets.
Miao Qihuai felt better and happily went to rehearsal.
The screenwriter kept his word; when he said he would rehearse three times, he really did rehearse three times.
Each of the three takes was better than the last, and Su Miaoyan and Xiao Xu maintained their best condition during the rehearsal.
Meng Hongshen, sitting in the audience, seemed lost in thought.
He could hear that familiar voice every time, so he simply moved to the left.
As soon as he sat down and looked up, he saw that familiar face!
It's her!
Meng Hongshen finally found the person he was looking for, and he was extremely excited.
The other party really is from the cultural troupe.
Thankfully, he didn't leave.
Meng Hongshen sat up straight. Just as the rehearsal ended, Miao Qihuai noticed Meng Hongshen's movements and immediately sounded the alarm.
Judging from this scumbag's expression, he's found someone he wants to mess with?
No, she absolutely couldn't let them succeed!
After the final rehearsal, the scriptwriter was very satisfied with everyone's performance.
She thanked Su Miaoyan and Xiao Xu, saying, "Thank you both for your help. I might need to trouble you again tomorrow."
Su Miaoyan: "No trouble at all, it's no trouble at all, just a small favor."
The screenwriter took two tickets out of the cloth bag and handed them over, saying, "Consider this a thank-you gift for the two professors. Don't refuse; everyone's time is valuable."
Since things had come to this point, Su Miaoyan and Xiao Xu had no choice but to accept the gifts and bid farewell to the two of them.
Meng Hongshen kept his eyes on Su Miaoyan from a short distance away.
Miao Qihuai was with Tong Mengyun when he noticed Meng Hongshen looking in one direction, so he immediately followed his gaze.
Then they saw Lu Ting's wife.
Miao Qihuai suddenly realized.
Oh, so it turns out he wasn't interested in the girls in the performing arts troupe, but in Comrade Su.
But since he didn't know Comrade Su's name, he assumed that all the pretty girls were in the cultural troupe.
No wonder they've been coming to me so often to ask about things.
Miao Qihuai wouldn't let the other party succeed. She watched Meng Hongshen walk over, raised an eyebrow, and followed him.
