Chapter 98 The Wardrobe Hides a Person
Shen Wuyang said expressionlessly, "I won't interfere with your lines here. As the original author, I can even offer some pointers."
Li Yichen was very annoyed with Shen Wuyang, but seeing that he was shamelessly insisting on staying, he couldn't find a way to get rid of him.
Seeing the two glaring at each other, Chu Ruofu somehow remembered what Xia Yuqing had said and decided to stay out of it. Let them argue, and she picked up her script and started reading her lines.
After passing the audition, she read the original novel many times at home. Not only did she know her own lines by heart, but she also memorized a lot of other people's lines.
Seeing that Chu Ruofu ignored him and Shen Wuyang, Li Yichen felt both happy and angry. It seemed that Chu Ruofu didn't like Shen Wuyang much either. At least, he and Shen Wuyang held the same position in Chu Ruofu's heart.
"Fu-mei." Li Yichen pulled up a chair and sat down next to her, his tone affectionate: "Come on, let's rehearse."
Chu Ruofu raised her eyes and glanced at them: "Are you finished talking?"
Her tone was calm, revealing neither joy nor anger.
Feeling strange, Shen Wuyang stopped targeting Li Yichen and interfering with her work, and instead found a place to stay nearby.
In the break room, Chu Ruofu and Li Yichen began rehearsing their lines.
As a professional actor, Li Yichen excels in all aspects of his work. Even when rehearsing in private, he speaks his lines perfectly, with a clear voice, so much so that you can understand his lines without subtitles.
Moreover, Li Yichen would use dialogue to express the character's full emotions according to each plot.
Everyone is a strong person in their own professional field. When they are serious, they exude a strong charm. Chu Ruofu occasionally glances at him, and although she is a little stiff at first, she gradually gets into the zone.
Looking at the tacit understanding between Chu Ruofu and Li Yichen, Shen Wuyang felt a pang of jealousy.
The characters he created carried the shadows of his imagination. At this moment, the female lead and the second male lead who was loyal to her should be him and Chu Ruofu.
He loved her and was willing to give everything for her, regardless of life or death.
After Chu Ruofu and Li Yichen finished rehearsing part of their lines, they felt a little thirsty and coughed twice. Shen Wuyang immediately took her pink thermos and opened it for her.
"Thank you." Chu Ruofu smiled at him.
Shen Wuyang smiled at her, looking sweet and adorable.
Li Yichen snorted and muttered a curse under his breath. He had originally wanted to be alone with Chu Ruofu, but Shen Wuyang was standing there like a big light bulb, which was really an eyesore.
In the afternoon, Chu Ruofu and Li Yichen filmed almost all their scenes in one take. The director praised their acting skills and delivery of lines, saying that they might be able to wrap up filming early today.
During a break from filming, the assistant handed Chu Ruofu her phone, glanced at Li Yichen and Shen Wuyang not far away, and lowered her voice: "Teacher Chu, it's President Gu on the phone."
As her assistant, she knew that Chu Ruofu and Gu Junsheng were living together in private, and the only thing separating them was their status as lovers.
If these two male guests on set knew that President Gu was staying at Chu Ruofu's apartment, they would be in an uproar.
Chu Ruofu's heart skipped a beat. She walked to a secluded and quiet place to answer the phone. "Hello."
Gu Junsheng's cool voice came: "Come back for dinner tonight?"
Chu Ruofu told the truth: "I will be staying in a hotel for the next two days."
Haicheng is a big city, and the filming location is more than an hour's drive from her apartment. It was too tiring to go back and forth every day, so the entire crew stayed in a hotel for the convenience of filming.
"If you're busy, go back to Beijing first. I won't have time to spend with you these next few days."
Gu Junsheng wanted to cultivate a better relationship with her, so he wasn't about to leave: "I'll come visit the set tonight."
Chu Ruofu was shocked: "No need, it's too far and too much trouble to come here. You should rest at home."
The phone suddenly went silent, the atmosphere heavy with tension.
Chu Ruofu hesitated: "...Hello?"
Gu Junsheng said calmly, "I don't find it troublesome. Or is it that you don't want me to see you?"
Chu Ruofu suddenly felt extremely guilty. She was afraid that if Gu Junsheng came over and saw Shen Wuyang and Li Yichen, she wouldn't know how to get along with the three of them.
"No," she quickly said, "I just care about you."
The director was calling "Action!" when Chu Ruofu hurriedly said, "I'm going to film now. You really don't need to come visit the set. I'll go back when I have time."
After hanging up the phone, she rushed back to the film set.
In the apartment, Gu Junsheng held his phone, his eyes dark and deep. He knew why she didn't want him to go: Shen Wuyang was the film producer, and Li Yichen had gone to great lengths to get the role of the second male lead. They were all like dogs that couldn't be driven away, surrounding her.
After filming, Chu Ruofu returned to her hotel room, exhausted. She first went to the bathroom to wash up and then applied a face mask to moisturize her skin.
She lay leisurely on the sofa, gazing blankly at the city night view outside the window. After finishing her face mask, she was about to pick up her phone to check the gossip when there was a knock at the door.
It's so late, who could it be?
Chu Ruofu stepped forward and looked through the smoke towards the door. Shen Wuyang's handsome face appeared. She quickly opened the door and pulled him inside: "What are you doing here?"
"Fufu." Shen Wuyang said innocently, "I'll sleep with you."
Chu Ruofu glared at him: "Have you forgotten what I told you?"
"I came secretly, no one knows." Shen Wuyang came over clingily, wanting to hug her.
Chu Ruofu refused: "No, you have to go back."
Shen Wuyang pleaded expectantly, "Then I'll just give you a kiss and leave."
Chu Ruofu was helpless and was about to appease the puppy when there was another knock at the door. She was startled and quickly stood on tiptoe to look outside. Li Yichen's figure appeared in front of the door in surprise.
Chu Ruofu felt a headache coming on. Why were they visiting her room one or two nights in a row? There were security cameras in the hallway. If someone with ulterior motives leaked this information, her reputation would be damaged.
Li Yichen rang the doorbell but no one answered, so he knocked on the door again.
"Li Yichen is here." Chu Ruofu pulled Shen Wuyang along. "We can't let him see you here."
Shen Wuyang knew his own status and let her hide in the wardrobe. "You should get rid of him quickly."
Chu Ruofu closed the cabinet door, went to open the bedroom door, and blocked the entrance: "What is it?"
Li Yichen winked at her and said, "Let's go over tomorrow's lines."
Chu Ruofu refused to let him into the room, citing that it was too late: "It's getting late, let's go to the film set tomorrow to rehearse our lines."
Seeing her uncomfortable expression, Li Yichen reached out and pushed open the door: "It's only ten o'clock, it's still early before bedtime. We have to start filming very early tomorrow, so let's go over the lines first to avoid delaying the filming process."
Chu Ruofu stopped him, saying, "I didn't let you in."
Li Yichen paused, looking at her: "I've been standing in the corridor the whole time. If someone takes a picture of me, wouldn't that be a bit inappropriate?"
Chu Ruofu didn't want to get entangled with him at the door, so she could only let him into the room. Her heart was racing uncontrollably with nervousness, and she could only go and get the script lines: "Which part do we need to go over? Let's go over it quickly."
Li Yichen glanced around and, seeing no one, his doubts vanished. He casually said, "No rush."
He moved closer to Chu Ruofu, his eyes filled with affection: "Do you still remember the promise you made to me that day?"
Chu Ruofu asked in confusion, "What?"
Li Yichen looked down at her and said, "Let me become your lover."
A slight noise came from the closet in the room. Chu Ruofu looked up at him in shock: "When did I agree to that?"
Li Yichen raised an eyebrow slightly and said, "When we were kissing in the tent."
Chu Ruofu remembered that there seemed to be such a thing. She was so confused by the kiss that she didn't remember whether she had agreed or not.
Just as Li Yichen was about to get closer to her, the doorbell rang again.
Chu Ruofu's expression changed, and she ran to the door. When she saw a tall and slender figure outside, her face turned pale, and she felt as if the heavens were going to kill her.
Seeing her swaying precariously, Li Yichen reached out to support her. "Who's there?"
Chu Ruofu was anxious and panicked: "Gu Junsheng is here, what should I do? I'm doomed."
Li Yichen wasn't afraid of being seen by Gu Junsheng in the hotel room. Gu Junsheng was at most Chu Ruofu's crush; he only cared about Chu Ruofu. Seeing her looking like she was about to cry, he gritted his teeth inwardly.
He would rather Gu Junsheng misunderstand, but seeing Chu Ruofu like this, he could only reluctantly say, "I'll find a place to hide."
Chu Ruofu saw him walking towards the wardrobe and said, "No."
Li Yichen turned around in confusion.
Before Chu Ruofu could speak, her phone rang. It was probably Gu Junsheng calling her because she wouldn't open the door.
Li Yichen opened the wardrobe door and found himself face to face with Shen Wuyang. He laughed in exasperation and said, "So you've been hiding a man in your room all along."
Shen Wuyang glared at him fiercely, then looked at Chu Ruofu with worry in her eyes.
