The crew provided breakfast, and Hu Shi ate it standing outside the RV, with a steamed bun in one hand and milk in the other.
A staff member asked, "Teacher Hu, why don't you eat in the dressing room? You're sweating profusely."
Hu Shi wiped his sweat and tugged at his collar. "It's nothing, I'm just sweating it out to detox."
After the staff left, Hu Shi took a big bite of the steamed bun.
It was as if these steamed buns represented Chi Xiuwen and Pei Zhi, that despicable couple.
Hu Shi was summoned by Chi Xiuwen early in the morning and told to stand outside and not let anyone in or out of the RV.
This is what guard duty truly means.
Hu Shi begged Pei Zhi to say a few words on his behalf.
He ended up in this state all because of Pei Zhi.
Who was he doing this for? Wasn't it all for Pei Zhi?
As a result, the woman didn't even glance at him.
It was enough to make Hu Shih so angry that he almost fainted.
Eating breakfast is just the beginning; what follows is the most agonizing part.
During halftime, Chi Hsiu-wen and Pei Chih went into the lounge, while Hu Shih leaned against the door playing on his phone.
The more Hu Shih thought about it, the more something seemed off.
So, the two of them were all lovey-dovey inside, while he stood guard outside.
What has he become?
Isn't this a eunuch?
For the next two days, Hu Shih continued to receive the same treatment.
Hu Shih couldn't very well refuse Chi Xiuwen; otherwise, wouldn't he be contradicting himself?
As a result, everyone on the production crew thought that the three main actors had a very good relationship.
Sure enough, as soon as the crew took a break, the three of them would disappear together and then come back together.
You know what, when all three of them disappeared together, nobody really thought much of it.
"Teacher Hu, you have a message on your phone."
During a break in filming, Hu Shih had just sat down when his assistant brought him his phone.
Hu Shi unlocked his phone and swiped to see a message from Lu Mingxu.
They said they wanted to visit him on set.
Hu Shih suddenly stood up, while Pei Zhi and Chi Xiuwen were still filming.
Hu Shi didn't dare to go up and disturb them, so he quickly found a secluded corner and made a phone call to Lu Mingxu.
"Why did you come to visit me on set?" Hu Shi asked anxiously, his accent showing.
"I don't have work this afternoon, I was thinking of going to see what's wrong?"
Hu Shi rolled his eyes. "You want to see me?"
Hu Shih was unaware of Lu Mingxu's thoughts.
Under the guise of visiting him on set, they actually came to see Pei Zhi.
Lu Mingxu absolutely must not come.
“I haven’t seen Pei Zhi for about ten days. I miss him.”
Lu Mingxu didn't hold back in front of Hu Shi.
Hu Shi sighed. He felt sorry for Lu Mingxu, but he could only refuse him without hesitation.
"Brother, you'd better not come. Our film crew has a very tight shooting schedule lately."
"If the female supporting character is replaced, all the scenes have to be reshot, and the director is a perfectionist."
Lu Mingxu was still unwilling and remained silent for a long time.
"What if your visit to the set affects Pei Zhi's mood during filming?"
Hu Shi's words were truly a fatal blow.
Lu Mingxu was somewhat smug. "You also think that I'm very important to Pei Zhi, right?"
Hu Shih rolled his eyes so hard they almost reached the sky. So all that he said was less useful than bringing up Pei Zhi?
Hu Shi said with certainty, "Yes, Pei Zhi's emotions will definitely fluctuate greatly when she sees you."
Of course it's big; you'd have to worry about being discovered at any moment.
"Alright then, I won't go. Tell Pei Zhi to drink more water and take good care of her on set."
Hu Shih was too lazy to say more and hung up the phone directly.
Isn't he taking good enough care of Pei Zhi?
Damn it, he's always behind Pei Zhi, covering for her, what more does he want?
Hu Shi cursed inwardly, thinking that it was Pei Zhi who was clearly guilty.
How come he's the one cleaning up the mess now?
Hu Shi had only taken two steps when his phone rang again.
Hu Shih thought it was Lu Mingxu calling again, but when he saw the caller ID, he was almost speechless.
"Uncle... Uncle, you were looking for me?"
Xie Cinian: "I called Pei Zhi, but she didn't answer."
"Oh, she's filming right now. I'll have her call you back after she finishes filming?"
"No need, I'll see him soon."
"???"
Hu Shi looked around in a panic, "What do you mean by that?"
Please don't let it mean what he thinks, otherwise he'll go crazy.
"I'm outside the film set."
Hu Shi said in a panic, "Why did you come here suddenly without saying hello? Our film crew doesn't allow outsiders to visit the set."
"How about this, you go back first, and I'll have your aunt come find you after filming is over?"
Hu Shih thought to himself, thankfully, their film crew had people protecting them outside.
No one who isn't a staff member is allowed in.
"I am an investor."
Xie Ci Nian's single sentence extinguished all of Hu Shi's hopes.
Xie Ci Nian is an investor. Tell me, where these days would you find an investor locked out?
Hu Shih immediately jumped up and said, "Uncle, I'll come pick you up right now."
After Hu Shi finished speaking, he hung up the phone without waiting for Xie Cinian's response.
Hu Shi ran to the lounge and found Li Hong playing on her phone.
"Sister Hong, Pei Zhi's husband is here. You need to tell her as soon as possible."
Li Hong held her phone, unable to understand Hu Shi's words.
Husband? What husband?
Where did Pei Zhi get her husband?
Pei Zhi is married? That's impossible.
"You absolutely must remember to tell her, or someone will die."
After Hu Shi finished speaking, he hurriedly ran outside to buy Pei Zhi some time.
Otherwise, once Xie Cinian meets with Chi Xiuwen, Pei Zhi will be doomed.
Hu Shi didn't care how Pei Zhi would handle it; he had already done his best.
At worst, we'll just die together. He's had enough of living in fear every day.
Although Li Hong was confused, as soon as Pei Zhi's scenes were over, Li Hong told Pei Zhi what Hu Shi had told her.
Pei Zhi took the phone and saw the missed calls, and roughly understood what was going on.
There are two options: either she leaves, or Chi Xiuwen leaves.
We still can't let Xie Cinian appear on set; otherwise, the crew will discuss it again after Xie Cinian leaves.
At that point, she won't be able to explain it to Chi Xiuwen no matter what.
Give me the car keys.
Li Hong took out a spare car key from her bag.
"What's the deal with the husband Hu Shi mentioned? Did you and Lu Mingxu get married?"
"It has nothing to do with Lu Mingxu."
Li Hong chased after Pei Zhi as she walked out, asking, "What does that mean? Where did you get a husband from?"
Pei Zhi had already jogged to the car, and Li Hong quickly followed.
Pei Zhi didn't bother to say anything more, got into the car, started the engine, and turned around directly.
"What exactly happened? I'm your manager, after all."
Li Hong was on the verge of a breakdown; no agent had ever gone to such lengths as her.
I knew nothing, I was kept in the dark by the celebrity, and I felt like a fool.
