Bi Xie let out a soft breath, recalling the unfinished words Ji Gui had spoken before disappearing.
He said Xiao Jingyi still wanted to know what else he wanted to know.
"Host, what exactly happened?" Seeing her sighing, Ru Hua's curiosity was aroused. "Your heart is beating so fast. You were just alone with the big boss, a lone man and a lone woman, hehehehehe. Did you do something that made your heart race?"
Bi Xie rolled his eyes: "Anyone who runs that far in one breath would have their heart racing."
"Hehehehe, I don't believe it..."
Before Ru Hua could finish speaking, Bi Xie interrupted her sadly in a low voice, "Ru Hua, I didn't expect you to still tell Lord Ghost Cultivator about this. You hurt me, do you know that? Lord Ghost Cultivator often locks you in a dark room. Haven't you ever thought about abandoning darkness and coming to me?"
"No."
Bi Xie's lips twitched: "Why?"
"Host, you're too weak! Don't forget, your life was given to you by the Ghost Cultivator. You should be like me, serving the Ghost Cultivator well, successfully defeating the villainous boss, and completing the mission!" Ru Hua's voice echoed in Bi Xie's mind.
Bi Xie gritted his teeth, thought about some things he had discovered, sneered, and remained silent.
It's obviously impossible to reason with Ru Hua; she was a surveillance device that the Ghost Cultivator Zhan Bingjiu had placed on her.
When filming resumed the next day, Xiao Jingyi was in excellent condition, and his expressions and lines were spot on.
Bi Xie, on the other hand, was distracted for a moment because he was worried that Ji Gui had disappeared. After being scolded, he quickly regained his composure.
The filming of this scene, which had been delayed for many days, was finally completed successfully. Zhang Shu was so excited that he wanted to kneel down and shout for blessings.
"Red Lotus" stayed at the He family mansion for two periods of time. One period was when she was at her lowest and most down-and-out, during which she formed an extremely subtle relationship with He Shifang in a side courtyard of the mansion.
He Shifang was unable to walk and was extremely irritable and frustrated. However, "Hongou" was very patient. In order to stay in the He family, she began to take care of He Shifang's daily life. Even when she was scolded and reprimanded, she never talked back.
She couldn't cook, and the first time she tried, she almost set the kitchen on fire. He Shifang was so angry that his face turned ashen.
She couldn't do laundry, and the clothes she washed were always wrinkled and covered with tiny bits of her fox fur. He Shifang was so angry that the veins on his forehead throbbed.
She doesn't know how to brew tea, grind ink, tell jokes, or massage legs and shoulders. She just sits alone in a corner where no one notices her, lost in thought, or practices martial arts.
She stole the martial arts manual from He Shifang's study. She could only understand a few words, but fortunately, there were illustrations of the moves. Although it was difficult to learn, it didn't stop her from working hard. She studied during the day and secretly studied at night.
When He Shifang saw that she had secretly taught herself martial arts and even stolen several of his martial arts manuals, he just chuckled coldly and pushed his wheelchair away.
Spring came and autumn went, and Hongou learned to sweep the floor, cook, do laundry, and tidy up.
That day, as usual, she got up very early, practiced martial arts for a while, and then went to knock on He Shifang's door.
Sure enough, the man was already dressed and sitting in a wheelchair.
Hongou pushed him silently to the tea garden, and the two remained silent the whole way.
Upon arriving at the tea garden, Hong Ou was about to leave when He Shifang suddenly stared at the flowerbed in front of her and said calmly, "You should leave. Go anywhere you like."
Hongou turned around, her eyes filled with doubt, but she didn't say anything and left on her own.
"Cut!" Zhang Shu called out. "You've worked hard. Take a break and prepare for the next round."
Bi Xie let out a soft breath and walked towards Zhang Shu. Ji Jing, who was sitting on a beach chair, quickly came over and handed her a bottle of mineral water. "An'an, have some water."
"Thank you." Bi Xie glanced at him and did not refuse.
That day, Ji Jing said he had some information about Xiao Jingyi to show her. She originally planned to have a meal with him at a certain time, but Zhang Shu was probably scared by her and Xiao Jingyi. Seeing that the two of them were in good spirits, he simply concentrated all of their scenes on film.
There were a lot of night shoots during this period, so I naturally couldn't keep my appointment with Ji Jing.
Bi Xie drank a few sips of water and walked over to the camera. Just then, Zhang Shu was rewinding the original footage and playing it again. When he saw Bi Xie arrive, he made room for him and a satisfied look appeared on his face. "It went very smoothly. The next scene is 'Red Lotus' shedding its fox fur... We've left the He residence. Take a 15-minute break and get ready."
Bi Xie nodded, and Zhang Shu also took a few sips of water from the crew member next to him, glanced at Ji Jing, and looked at Bi Xie at the same time, saying, "How have you been feeling lately? Are you tired from filming?"
"It's alright," Bi Xie smiled slightly. "I'm not the only one who's exhausted; everyone is working very hard."
This wasn't just polite talk; it came from the bottom of her heart. When filming a movie, it's not just the actors who work hard; all the crew members, including the lighting technicians, prop masters, and cinematographers, have to stay on set. No one has it easier than anyone else!
Zhang Shu smiled with satisfaction and was about to speak when he looked up and saw Xiao Jingyi. He quickly waved, "Old Xiao, come here, come here. I have some things to discuss with you guys for the next scene!"
Bi Xie stiffened, and stood up as if sitting on pins and needles. "Director Zhang, I've thoroughly grasped the lines. Why don't you two talk?"
She got up to slip away, but found Ji Jing blocking her way. She anxiously patted his arm and whispered, "Let's go, let's go."
Ji Jing naturally had no objection and stepped aside.
Seeing the two's seemingly intimate actions, Xiao Jingyi frowned, his anger rising, and he clenched his fists tightly along the seam of his pants.
The fire was burning inexplicably, yet it grew stronger and stronger, crackling and popping.
Zhang Shu raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead, listening to the chilling cracking sound of the knuckles clenching so tightly, and said, "Old Xiao, it's not that I don't want to help you, but tell me what you and Xiao An did in the lounge last time? Why is Xiao An acting like a mouse around a cat whenever she sees you lately?"
Xiao Jing gave Zhang Shu a cold look, his eyes warning, but he felt somewhat annoyed.
He... he didn't do anything.
That loser can kiss her, but he can't? Is his technique that bad?
Zhang Shu's expression turned serious, his gossipy nature vanished, and he took the script, saying solemnly, "Let's not talk about it anymore. This old man can't give you any advice anyway. Let's talk about the scene, this one..."
After resting for a while, Zhang Shu raised his wrist to check the time, clapped his hands, and winked at the script supervisor.
The script supervisor immediately picked up a megaphone and shouted to all departments to prepare.
The crew members who were scattered on set, chatting or resting, quickly returned to their positions.
"Red Lotus" was in the kitchen cooking porridge; she was used to doing these things and was very skilled at it.
But making porridge today was very hard work, and several pots of porridge were immediately poured out of the large bucket next to us.
A few strands of yellow hair floated on the surface of the porridge.
"Red Lotus" poured another pot of porridge into the large bucket in distress.
That young master, who looked like a celestial being, was extremely fastidious and difficult to please. He could even detect if a single hair fell into his porridge.
