Ever since Mo Jinnian learned why Zi Xi was avoiding him, he not only didn't back down, but instead became even more persistent in clinging to her.
Before, Zi Xi would avoid him; now, he's the one chasing after her.
Every morning, as soon as Zixi arrives at the film set, she finds a delicious breakfast on her chair, with a sticky note next to it that reads: "Hope Teacher Zhao has a happy day too~"
Zi Xi picked up the breakfast expressionlessly, turned around and handed it to the stagehand: "Here you go."
"Huh? This...this wasn't specially given to you by Teacher Mo..."
The stagehand was flattered and pleased, but she was a little hesitant to take it!
"I don't eat sweets."
Zixi prefers to eat soupy breakfasts.
Mo Jinnian stood not far away, silently noting: She doesn't like sweets.
The next day, breakfast was changed to savory rice balls.
Zi Xi handed it to the stagehand again; she didn't like eating something so dry so early in the morning.
After repeatedly hitting a wall, Mo Jinnian finally managed to extract crucial information from the stage manager: Teacher Zhao was completely powerless against the old lady's wontons on the old street.
If she weren't too busy lately, Zixi would definitely go there to eat every day.
At four o'clock the next morning, he personally waited at the wonton shop and managed to snag the first batch of thirty wontons made fresh.
When the steaming bowl of soup was placed in front of Zi Xi, the slight twitching of her nose reminded Mo Jin Nian of the little wildcat that used to nestle in his arms when he was a child.
"I'll just try one..."
"It's mainly because it smells so good, and it doesn't taste good when it gets cold."
Before Zixi could finish convincing herself, the spoon had already automatically scooped up the next one and moved on to the next.
When the water reached its limit, her face flushed slightly.
It's true what they say, the rope always breaks at its thinnest point; fate plays tricks on the greedy pig.
A small bowl of wontons destroyed her Daoist heart!
Mo Jinnian was secretly delighted when he saw Zi Xi take out her phone with a serious expression: "Teacher Mo, how much are the wontons? I'll transfer the money to you."
Chance! !
The opportunity has arrived!
He quickly pulled up the WeChat QR code, practically shoving the screen right in front of her eyes.
Zi Xi stared at the ID "Are Jin Xi and I together today?", her finger hovering over the screen for three seconds before finally looking at him with a troubled expression.
"...QR code for receiving payments."
Mo Jinnian instantly wilted like a frostbitten eggplant, switching interfaces with a pitiful expression.
When the transfer notification sounded, he glimpsed Zixi quietly taking a picture of the wonton takeout box.
If one plan fails, another will be devised.
During a break in filming, Mo Jinnian personally brought over a hand-ground coffee, smiling brightly: "Teacher Zhao, are you taking a break? Would you like a cup of coffee?"
"No, thank you."
Zi Xi flipped through the script without looking up.
"It's my homemade iced Americano, sugar-free, with double espresso. Don't you like this?"
Mo Jinnian persisted relentlessly.
“Teacher Mo, I think I made myself very clear that day.”
Zi Xi finally looked up, her eyes revealing a lack of desire.
“I know… but Teacher Zhao, we are colleagues. If we don’t act well together, it will affect the play.”
Mo Jinnian held his coffee with an unchanged smile.
Zi Xi took the coffee, took a sip, and then, right in front of him, stared at him as she poured the rest into the trash can.
Their attitude appeared very resolute.
Mo Jinnian was filled with remorse. It must have been because his coffee was terrible that Teacher Zhao threw it away!
Even the way she throws the coffee looks so cool!
Coffee beans: Has anyone ever made peanuts for them?
Not only in his personal life, but also at work, Mo Jinnian started to resort to underhanded tactics.
Mo Jinnian insisted on rehearsing the scene repeatedly with Zi Xi, even though it was supposed to only be done once.
"I think this emotion could be made a little more nuanced."
He said it in a very serious tone.
"Director Xu said this take is good."
Zi Xi's face was indifferent.
"But I think we can do better!"
After hugging her more than ten times, Zi Xi turned and left, while Mo Jinnian stood there, smiling like a triumphant fox.
