Seeing that Zhong Yi was still hesitating, Jian Zhizhen covered his forehead and said, "It's so sunny today, I think I have heatstroke. If I go into the water later, the hot and cold will definitely make me sick."
Then she clutched her stomach again, saying, "My stomach hurts too, I really feel uncomfortable, Sister Yi..."
Zhong Yi finally softened and said with concern, "Sigh, you must have been exhausted these past few days. Okay, go to the dressing room and rest for a while. I'll talk to the director and find you a stunt double."
Jian Zhizhen breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you, Sister Yi."
...
The scene to come will begin with the young female lead bathing alone in the lake and fighting with the water monster before the male lead appears.
So the male lead of this drama, Nan Zhu, still has time to rest for a while.
It was midday, and the sun was shining outside, so he went to the rest room to take a short rest so he would have the energy to film in the afternoon.
Nan Zhu walked to the door of the lounge, pushed it open, and a floral fragrance wafted towards her.
He looked up and saw a man standing by the window.
He had a straight posture, a strong and smooth profile, and deep, indifferent black eyes, which made Nan Zhu, the man, stare at him for a moment.
He quickly recognized the other person, walked in, sat down on the sofa casually, crossed his legs, and sized up the man in front of him.
"I know you, you are Qin Yubai. It's a pity you're not in the entertainment industry, otherwise, I wouldn't be so unrivaled."
He stared intently at Qin Yubai, his face showing a sense of mutual respect and camaraderie.
Nan Zhu's looks are indeed among the top of the new generation of male stars in the entertainment industry.
In addition, his acting skills have steadily improved, making him a rare male celebrity who is both good-looking and not just a traffic star like Li Nanyan.
Qin Yubai turned around and greeted him, "Hello."
Nan Zhu noticed a bunch of dahlias on the table and asked curiously, "You brought flowers too? Which actress are they for?"
Qin Yubai said calmly, "It's for you."
"Huh?" Nan Zhu put down her crossed legs, looking incredulous.
Qin Yubai then added slowly and deliberately, "I am your fan."
Actually, I only found out their names recently.
Nan Zhu was genuinely happy, after all, Qin Yubai was a representative of young scientists.
How could I not be happy that someone with such a high IQ likes me!
"Good eye! Okay, I'll take it."
Nan Zhu took the fragrant dahlias to her side, and then took out a pen from the sleeve of her costume to sign her name.
"Here, let me sign your autograph."
"..." Qin Yubai had just said that he was a fan of the person, so it was not easy to refuse now.
But he didn't bring a notebook or any paper, so I can't exactly have him sign on his clothes.
If I go out wearing clothes with a male celebrity's name on them, people will definitely say I'm gay.
He thought for a long time, then took out his black card, which happened to have an autograph area on the back.
He handed it to Nan Zhu: "Thank you for your help."
This time, Nan Zhu was stunned.
Seriously? Seriously? He actually made me sign his black card. Is he trying to keep me as a sugar daddy?
These past few days he's been following the gossip online, seeing netizens digging into Qin Yubai's identity, and everyone guessing he's some well-hidden rich young master.
What do you mean by wealthy young men giving celebrities black cards/credit cards?
What else could it mean besides that?
Nan Zhu isn't gay, but he's still a little scared.
for a long time.
Nan Zhu still didn't sign the card, and silently put away her pen: "The pen is out of ink."
"That's a pity, maybe next time." Qin Yubai immediately took back his card.
Both of them breathed a sigh of relief.
The atmosphere fell into an eerie silence for a while.
Nan Zhu suddenly said, "It's so hot! Is the air conditioning off?"
"Indeed." Qin Yubai was standing next to the air conditioner switch and turned it on casually.
A while later.
Nan Zhu raised her hand and fanned herself again: "It seems even hotter."
Moreover, the dahlias next to him emitted an even stronger odor under the high temperature, making his nose itch.
Qin Yubai glanced back and said, "Sorry, I turned on the heater."
Then he turned it back on, adjusted it to air conditioning, and set the temperature to an extremely low level.
With the alternation of hot and cold temperatures, coupled with the spread of pollen nearby, Nan Zhu soon started sneezing and felt dizzy.
Seeing him like this, Qin Yubai breathed a sigh of relief.
After all that preparation, we're finally seeing results!
He immediately said, "It's all my fault. The sudden change from hot to cold made you catch a cold. You absolutely must not touch water."
Nan Zhu sneezed again, looking troubled: "Ah, but there's a scene today where we have to rescue the female lead underwater."
Qin Yubai: "Find a stand-in."
Nan Zhu thought for a moment, then shook her head: "It's okay, I'll try."
"You have a cold and you're going into cold water, you're likely to get leg cramps." Qin Yubai said, feigning concern for him.
Nan Zhu imagined herself lying on the ground, convulsing, and her face instantly turned pale.
Putting that aside, even a sneeze in public can ruin your perfect image.
Moreover, Nan Zhu is not particularly good at swimming, and she is quite afraid that once she gets into the water, she will panic and show an imperfect expression, which will lead to repeated takes.
With so many factors combined, Nan Zhu's attitude finally softened.
But he was conflicted: "But I didn't notify my stunt double in advance."
Qin Yubai pointed to himself: "Me."
Nan Zhu looked Qin Yubai up and down to his spotless shoes.
No wonder she had such stunning looks that she amazed the entire internet even in her youth; her beauty is flawless from head to toe, even down to the fibers of her clothes.
