"Actually, I was mainly introduced to this job as a stand-in by one of my senior classmates..."
After pleading, Tang Ning probably realized she was wasting her time, so she dejectedly lowered her hand from her mouth. Then, as if suddenly remembering something, her eyes lit up again.
"You know that big star Ye Xi, right? She has a new movie called 'The Longevity Sword,' which is currently filming in Hengcheng. I don't know if you've heard of it. My senior from high school happens to be playing a supporting role in this movie. She said that Ye Xi recently twisted her ankle while doing wire work, so she can't do many of the action scenes. She thinks that my height and build are very similar to hers, and even my profile and smile are a bit alike. So she showed me a full-body photo, and they immediately cast me, saying that it definitely wouldn't be a mistake and wouldn't delay the filming schedule. Ye Xi's side also agreed..."
The more Fu Yin listened to Tang Ning talk, the more certain he became that the boyfriend she mentioned, who was always incredibly busy, was the one he was thinking of. At the same time, he sighed inwardly. She was still a girl who had never left school. She didn't need any prompting; she could explain everything clearly on her own. She was just too naive.
After talking for a short while, Tang Ning accidentally glanced at the wall clock of a small restaurant behind them. Her eyes widened instantly, and then, ignoring the noisy fans around her, she hurriedly grabbed her luggage and tried to squeeze forward.
While squeezing through the crowd, she hurriedly explained to Fu Yin, who was standing next to her, "Oh no, oh no, I'm going to be late! I made an appointment with someone at 9:30, and it's already 9:15. I have to hurry up and leave, or I'll be late! Mr. Fu, you go ahead with your work, I'm leaving now!"
Then Fu Yin looked at the little girl and wondered what she had brought. Not to mention the big bags and small bags, each bag looked extremely heavy. The little girl was so heavy that her fingernails turned white.
Seeing this, Fu Yin gestured to the driver who was standing not far behind him, took two steps forward and took Tang Ning's package. He felt the weight in his hand and said with a smile, "I also have something to do at the 'Eternal Sword' set, so I might as well help you carry your things."
"No need! Really! I can carry it myself, no need to trouble you!" Tang Ning quickly declined.
But Fu Yin didn't give her a chance to refuse at all. He picked up his things and strode forward.
As they walked, they said, "Aren't we almost late? Then hurry up and walk faster, or the director won't have a good impression of you!"
Upon hearing this, Tang Ning, who was only carrying a suitcase, quickly jogged after him.
"Mr. Fu, you are such a kind person!"
She genuinely gave the other person a "good person" card.
Mr. Fu, who had never received a "friend zone" card from a girl before, chuckled with a sense of novelty.
At the same time, Qi Lie, the young superstar who was walking on the other side, paused slightly, pulled down his sunglasses with one hand, and looked at Fu Yinze, who was carrying a bag and looked very down-to-earth, and the pretty girl walking beside him. He narrowed his eyes slightly.
He remembered that Sister Xi had once told him that her boyfriend was none other than Fu Yinze, the president of Genji Entertainment.
This is...
Oh.
"Tangbao, Tangbao, your target Qi Lie just dropped 10 points in affection for you. Your current affection level is -10."
Upon receiving the news of the change in favorability, 54088 quickly leaned close to Tang Ning's ear and whispered the following.
Tang Ning, who was whispering with Fu Yinze, heard this, but her expression didn't change in the slightest.
Qi Lie, is that right?
Wait!
"Ah, we've finally arrived. Thank you, Mr. Fu. Please give me the things; I'll go in and check in first." As soon as they arrived, Tang Ning hurriedly took the things from Fu Yinze's hands.
Fu Yin then handed it to her.
"Do your best!"
He smiled and encouraged her.
"I understand! Thank you, Mr. Fu!"
Upon hearing this, Tang Ning, who was jogging forward with her things in her arms, turned around and gave him a bright and energetic smile.
Fu Yinze's lips also curled up in a smile.
The moment Tang Ning disappeared around the corner, the assistant director of the crew greeted Fu Yin with a look of surprise and delight.
"President Fu! It really is you! It's such an honor to have you here! You've come to see Ye Xi? She's resting in the back right now, shall I take you there?"
"No need, I can go by myself."
Fu Yin's smile quickly vanished, replaced by a polite, curt smile.
After completing her registration, Tang Ning, who had no filming assignments yet, had just subtly inquired about Fu Yuankai's address when she dragged her luggage straight to his place. Unexpectedly, as soon as she arrived, she heard a familiar voice coming from afar, albeit unclearly.
She quickly hid behind a door on the side, and although she couldn't suppress the smile on her face, she tried her best to calm her racing heart.
Upon hearing the voice, he instructed the person beside him, "Alright, you don't need to follow me anymore. I'm going to my room to get some sleep. Remember to call me when the director needs someone later, okay?"
"Okay, Brother Fu, but you haven't had breakfast yet..."
"I'm not eating anymore, I have no appetite."
"Alright! I'll be going now, Brother Fu."
As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of his footsteps began to fade into the distance.
Immediately afterwards, the sound of a man swiping his access card rang out.
Hearing this, Tang Ning dropped her luggage, tiptoed behind the man, jumped up lightly, and covered his eyes. At the same time, she deliberately spoke in a rough voice, "Guess who I am?"
Tang Ning didn't see the scene she expected: the man turning around with a look of surprise and embracing her. She only felt her hands suddenly being violently pulled away. The man turned around in disbelief, throwing her arms away. "How did you get here?"
There was no joy, only surprise, and even a hint of inexplicable unease and rejection.
Just as Tang Ning was about to explain something, a familiar voice rang out from not far beside them.
"Xiao Kai, you can't be so rude to your girlfriend!"
It is Fu Yinze.
The two looked incredulously at Fu Yinze, who had appeared at the corner at some unknown time.
"girlfriend?"
Another voice rang out.
This is Ye Xi, who rushed over even though she twisted her ankle after hearing that Fu Yinze had arrived.
Ah~ Oh!
Tang Ning silently cheered in her heart, as if she were enjoying the show.
How exciting! (Image)
Soon, the four of them sat down in a small private room at the hotel.
After sitting down, Fu Yuankai didn't even dare to look at Ye Xi's face. He just clenched his fists tightly and lowered his head slightly, like a child who had done something wrong and was admitting his mistake.
Fu Yin played with the teacup in his hand without saying a word.
Ye Xi carefully examined Tang Ning's appearance, then broke the awkward silence with a smile, "Hello, I'm Ye Xi, and you are?"
"Ah? I, my name is Tang Ning."
Because Fu Yuankai, who was sitting next to her, remained silent, she paused for a moment, then introduced herself somewhat awkwardly.
Then, perhaps to avoid embarrassment, she added, "Actually... I'm actually a new stunt double in your crew, Sister Ye Xi. She's my senior, Liu Wenwen, you should know her. She heard I was a senior in college and wanted to act, so she kindly introduced me to this job..."
As she spoke, Tang Ning nodded to herself with self-affirmation.
"So, you were the body double the crew found for me! You're very beautiful. It's really a disservice to you to be my body double."
Ye Xi said with a sincere expression.
Upon hearing this, Tang Ning quickly waved her hand.
"How could that be? It's my good fortune to be Ye Xi's stand-in!"
Whether in real life or in a play, it's a blessing!
Tang Ning was more sincere than her.
Fu Yuankai's eyes flickered slightly, and he clenched his fists even tighter.
Upon hearing her words, Ye Xi simply smiled and said nothing more.
The private room fell silent once again.
Perhaps feeling the atmosphere was somewhat oppressive and awkward, Tang Ning awkwardly reached out to take Fu Yuankai's hand for some reassurance. However, the moment her hand touched the back of his hand, he recoiled as if pricked by a thorn, his eyes darting nervously towards Ye Xi sitting opposite him.
Ye Xi's smile deepened.
Seeing this, Tang Ning subconsciously bit her lip hard, until her lips turned slightly white.
The room was silent for two seconds.
Then I heard her take a deep breath, pick up the cloth bag she had placed at her feet, and put it on the table. A bright smile appeared on her face as she excitedly took things out of the bag, saying, "I just heard from your assistant that you haven't had breakfast yet! Perfect timing! I heard you say you didn't like the food on set. I was busy until almost 2 a.m. last night, and I almost missed my train this morning! Look what I brought you: sweet and sour pork ribs, hot and sour shredded potatoes, boiled sliced pork… and most importantly, this pot of tea tree mushroom and old duck soup! I simmered it all night long—it's so cooling! Didn't you text me a few days ago saying you were too hot and had several mouth ulcers? This is perfect for you! The duck is a genuine free-range duck from the countryside; I went to several markets to find it! You absolutely have to try it!"
As Tang Ning spoke, she opened the lid of the thermos, and the aroma of steaming hot duck soup instantly filled the entire private room.
But as Tang Ning's voice continued to ring out, Fu Yuankai's face grew darker and darker, and his fists clenched tighter and tighter.
It's because every word Tang Ning said would condemn him to death in Ye Xi's heart, something he couldn't accept, and would never accept.
So the moment Tang Ning showed off the thermos to him, his emotions reached their peak, and almost all the blood in his body rushed to his head.
Unable to control himself, he reached out and overturned the insulated box that Tang Ning had handed him.
Two screams rang out one after the other.
"Sister Ye Xi!"
The first sound was Tang Ning burning her hand with soup, and the second sound was Ye Xi sitting opposite her, who almost got her face scalded by the splashing soup.
Fortunately, Fu Yuankai saw the situation was bad and rushed to her side, pulling her up abruptly, thus preventing Ye Xi from being disfigured.
Tang Ning's hand was immediately grabbed by someone.
Yes, it was none other than Fu Yinze.
"Are you alright? Where did you get burned? Say something!"
Fu Yin hurriedly asked.
"I...I'm fine, I'm not burned anywhere..."
Looking at the two people leaning on each other not far away, Tang Ning said this with a somewhat bewildered expression.
It's just... it's such a shame to waste Liu Jie's excellent cooking skills. Her dishes are exactly what she likes, tsk tsk!
"You still say you weren't burned anywhere? The back of your hand is all red, don't you feel it? I always thought you were stupid, but I never thought you could be this stupid!"
Fu Yin, enraged, laughed instead.
Ye Xi, standing opposite the two, looked at Fu Yinze's appearance, her eyes flashing slightly, a deep hostility flashing quickly in the depths of her eyes.
When is Yin...?
Did this girl, who is suspected to be Fu Yuankai's girlfriend, have some kind of interaction with Yin Ze without her knowing? Why is he so concerned about her? Even Lu Huanhuan didn't make him this concerned... Could it be...?
No! She absolutely wouldn't allow it!
Quickly adjusting her expression, Ye Xi abruptly pulled her arm away from Fu Yuankai's grasp and said with a gentle smile, "Yuankai, why don't you go check on your girlfriend? That pot of soup must have been pretty hot. Didn't you see how red her hand is? Hurry up and take her out to get it treated. It would be unsightly for a young girl to have a scar!"
Upon hearing this, Fu Yuankai noticed that Tang Ning had also burned her hand. After a moment of surprise, he quickly came over.
"Why is the back of your hand so red? I... I'll take you out to get it treated right now..."
Seeing him approach, Tang Ning stared at him intently for a long while before finally giving him a slight smile. "It's okay, it's okay. It looks red but it doesn't hurt. I'll just rinse it with cold water myself. It shouldn't leave a scar..."
This is the truth; 54088 helped her block out the pain, so she really didn't feel any pain.
"We'll see..."
Tang Ning hesitated for a moment, then tiptoed and whispered in Fu Yuankai's ear, in a voice only the two of them could hear, "This is Hengcheng, there are countless paparazzi here. It would be so bad for you if someone took pictures of you! So I'll just go take a quick shower myself. I'm leaving now, don't follow me..."
Upon hearing this, Fu Yuankai was startled. Why...?
Then, I watched helplessly as Tang Ning smiled politely at Fu Yinze and Ye Xi, then turned and walked away.
After watching her departing figure for a long time, Fu Yuankai clenched his fist tightly, not daring to look at Ye Xi. He only mumbled "I'll go help her" before chasing after her.
Fu Yin frowned, watching the direction the two had left, without saying a word.
On the other end, he heard the notification from 54088 that Fu Yuankai's favorability rating had increased by 5 points, and heard the hurried footsteps of the man behind him.
Turning Fu Yuankai's passive situation into an active one, all right under Ye Xi's nose. The moment the soup spilled, Fu Yin's first reaction was to rush to her side.
In the first round, Sister Ye Xi, I won!
Tang Ning tilted her head slightly, a smile playing on her lips.
