He realized that Zhao Zixi wasn't a slow-to-warm-up and reserved person at all; she was deliberately avoiding him!
When the crew had dinner together, she always chose the seat furthest diagonally across from them, as if he were some kind of human virus.
When the staff chatted, she would rather study the script alone until the paper frayed than join their conversations if he was within three meters of her.
This is the thirteenth time!!
He had just adjusted his expression and headed towards the rest area when Zi Xi turned around smoothly, pretending to be very interested in the boxed lunch in the stagehand's hand.
The movements were so fluid, as if they had been rehearsed hundreds of times.
The most amazing thing was this morning. He arrived at the set two hours early, only to see Zi Xi catch a glimpse of him from afar and immediately make a right-angle turn to go around him.
His agility was so impressive that even a passing martial arts instructor exclaimed, "Teacher Zhao, is your evasion stat maxed out?"
The coffee cup in Mo Jinnian's hand creaked under the strain, and brown liquid seeped from the crack, wetting his limited-edition sneakers.
Is he some kind of walking pathogen?
Or is it that this lovely girl, Teacher Zhao, is his hater?
He quickly checked his look, which included a 3/7 parted fringe meticulously styled by his hairstylist, a bespoke shirt and sneakers, and even a watch from a luxury brand he had just endorsed.
That doesn't make sense.
From childhood to adulthood, Mo Jinnian has always been the center of attention wherever he goes.
The screams of fans greeting him at the airport could lift the roof off the airport, and actresses he had worked with loved to go to his lounge when they weren't filming.
But this Teacher Zhao...
However, it's also possible that Teacher Zhao is shy?
Several days have passed, and Teacher Zhao hasn't said a single word to him!
"Cut! Jin Nian! Your expression in this scene... why does it look like a young wife who's been taken advantage of and then abandoned?"
Director Xu hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.
Mo Jinnian wiped his face, apologized, and went to wash his face to clear his head.
Suddenly, he beckoned to his assistant: "Go and investigate Teacher Zhao, especially her romantic history."
Mo Jinnian was blinded by suspicion, and he suspected that Teacher Zhao had been hurt by a scumbag who looked similar to him.
But soon, reality slapped him in the face again.
One night while filming a night scene, the crew ordered a late-night snack, and the staff called everyone over to pick it up.
Mo Jinnian happened to be standing next to Zi Xi, and he eagerly took a box for her and handed it over: "Teacher Zhao, this is for you, eat it while it's hot."
"Thank you, but no need."
Zi Xi glanced at him but didn't answer; she simply said her first sentence in a calm tone.
Then she turned and left.
Mo Jinnian looked down at the late-night snack in his hand and suddenly felt a little wronged.
What did he do wrong?!
Even if he looks like Teacher Zhao's ex-boyfriend, he's not a scumbag!
The assistant found out that Ms. Zhao Zixi does not have a boyfriend and has never been in a relationship.
Mo Jinnian was overjoyed yet also saddened and confused. Why was that?!
He finally couldn't hold back anymore.
During a break in filming, he stopped Zhao's temporary assistant, Xiaolin, and whispered, "Teacher Zhao... do you have some misunderstanding about me?"
"This...Teacher Zhao, she..."
Xiaolin was stunned, then felt a little embarrassed and didn't know what to say.
The fact that the movie star asked this question makes it seem like he has no idea about the things his fans are saying!
"Does she hate me?"
"No, no!"
"Teacher Zixi is just... uh, a bit slow to warm up."
Xiao Lin quickly waved his hand and improvised a reason similar to Mo Jinnian's.
Mo Jinnian narrowed his eyes, clearly not believing it.
"Actually... Teacher Zhao... she was scolded terribly before..."
