Ni Sitian arrived in Dali in the afternoon and checked into a guesthouse.
To save money, the production team arranged for her to live with another screenwriter.
The screenwriter was a girl of similar age; Producer Chen had introduced her to her before.
They had spoken on the phone twice, and usually communicated via email; this was their first time meeting in person.
Ni Sitian is a bit slow to warm up to people, and she feels a little uncomfortable sharing a room with someone she doesn't know well. However, she's too embarrassed to ask for a separate room, as it might give the other girl the wrong impression that she dislikes her, which wouldn't be good.
Fortunately, the girl had a lively personality, which prevented the room from becoming awkward.
"Sitian, your watch is so beautiful." Jiang Yi couldn't help but pull her hand, looking at the ruby set in the watch, and asked repeatedly, "Where did you buy it? Where did you buy it?"
"I don't know either, someone gave it to me." Ni Sitian withdrew her hand and continued packing her suitcase, a faint smile appearing on her lips as she looked down.
This was a gift from Xu Tingchuan to her the night before he set off.
Perhaps because of what happened when Li Rui kidnapped her, he was particularly worried about her.
This watch is more than just a watch; he told her it contains a satellite positioning chip.
As long as she wears it, he can find her no matter where she goes.
He said he didn't want to experience that panic of loss again, and she felt the same way.
"Someone else? My boyfriend, I guess?" Jiang Yi teased, squinting her eyes.
Ni Sitian shook her head, looked up and smiled faintly, replying, "It's my husband."
Jiang Yi's eyes widened in surprise: "You're married?"
Ni Sitian felt a pang of relief. Back when she was still in school, she had always hidden Xu Tingchuan's existence from him, but now she no longer needed to.
"I really can't tell. Producer Chen said you're half a year younger than me." Jiang Yi was genuinely surprised.
Ni Sitian smiled faintly, finished packing her luggage, took her phone to the balcony, and made a call to Xu Tingchuan.
Xu Tingchuan had just seen the police off when he immediately answered Ni Sitian's call, his voice as usual: "Have you arrived yet?"
"Yes, I just packed my things." Ni Sitian looked down from here and saw that the courtyard of the inn was full of flowers, which was particularly beautiful. She said to Xu Tingchuan, "This place is really beautiful, even the air is very fresh."
"Then come with me again next time." Xu Tingchuan said as he returned to his office while on the phone, "Why don't you stay next door to me?"
"Okay, don't worry." Ni Sitian felt a warmth in her heart seeing that he kept worrying about her, and asked, "You didn't forget to eat lunch, did you?"
Xu Tingchuan hesitated for a moment, then gave a vague "hmm." He had only just finished cooperating with the investigation and had no time for lunch.
"You're lying, you definitely didn't eat, right?" Ni Sitian sensed his hesitation very keenly and said with a stern face, "From now on, you have to send me photos of what you eat for each of your three meals a day!"
“Okay, you too,” Xu Tingchuan said.
The two chatted on the phone for a while when someone knocked on the door to inform them that the film crew was having a dinner party that evening to reconnect with everyone.
"Then go to work, I won't bother you anymore." Ni Sitian glanced at the time and hung up the phone.
Xu Tingchuan leaned back in his chair, rubbed his temples, and let out a long breath.
He's facing some tricky problems now; the commercial crime investigation is coming on strong this time, which must be due to instructions from above.
He didn't cross any lines, but one of the project managers under him really had a problem.
The person has just been taken to the police station by the police. If this incident is amplified in the media, the drop in stock price is a minor issue; it may also trigger a series of other reactions.
