After listening to Mo Congnan's words, everyone looked at Li Yining with even more strange eyes.

Fortunately, Director Shen spoke up.

He coughed and looked at everyone: "What are you gossiping about? Get back to work."

After saying that, he glanced at Mo Congnan with disdain: "Go and act with Li Yining. If you get stuck in this scene later, you'll be finished tomorrow."

Mo Congnan: “???”

After a while, Mo Congnan and Li Yining entered the official shooting.

Two minutes later, Director Shen was furious and yelled behind the camera: "Mo Congnan, what's wrong with you? Why are you looking at the princess in such a weird way?"

Mo Congnan: "..."

Director, don’t ask, I don’t know either.

Li Yining tried to hold back his laughter.

Director Shen sighed and was speechless: "Start over! Find the feeling."

The two had to start over.

Ten minutes later, after the scene between Li Yining and Mo Congnan got stuck again and again, Director Shen lost his temper again.

"Mo Congnan, what's wrong with you? This scene asked you to get closer to Li Yining, but you kept hiding. Is there something wrong with Li Yining? Why can't you touch her?"

This was not enough, Director Shen continued to mutter: "And your eyes, you are not with the princess in the play, but it does not mean that you have no feelings at all, you have some feelings for the princess, why do you look so resistant?"

As soon as Director Shen said this, the entire crew fell silent.

Li Yining was thinking about whether to say something to ease the atmosphere, when Mo Congnan suddenly said, "Director, it's really not my fault."

He pointed at Li Yining and said, "Whenever I see Teacher Li now, I feel like I have let my idol down."

Li Yining: “???”

He continued: "I felt as if I was doing something that was outrageous. I was actually being affectionate and intimate with the person my idol was pursuing. This was simply cheating on my idol!!"

Everyone: “…”

After a few seconds of silence on the set, Fu Meng started to burst into laughter.

Everyone was amused to death by Mo Congnan's words. What does it mean to be cuckolded?

Hahahahahahaha.

Fu Meng sat in the chair and laughed until her stomach hurt.

Director Shen, who was also angry, couldn't hold it back any longer. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and he scolded, "Put back those unhealthy thoughts. You are just filming a movie."

He coughed, maintaining his aloofness: "Take a ten-minute break. If you continue to behave like this, you can't act anymore."

Mo Congnan: "..."

He feels wronged.

Director Shen looked at him like this and continued, "Besides, there is a scene later where you send the princess to someone else's bed. What? Do you want to change the development of our script?"

Mo Congnan thought about it, and looked at the director with bright eyes: "It's not impossible..."

Director Shen: “???”

What did you say? Say it again if you have the guts.

The funny crew had a lot of fun that night.

Many people were stunned by Mo Congnan's joke, but it was precisely because of this that Li Yining felt a little less embarrassed.

At least everyone...won't look at her with surprise, curiosity, and scrutiny all the time.

After being treated like this by Mo Congnan, the crew members seemed to have accepted this fact.

Huo Shen, a top actor in the circle and a powerful actor, is pursuing Princess An Ning from their set.

——

Back to the small villa, Li Yining had moved out of the hotel a few days ago, and she lived in the small villa with Xiaoyu.

Only after entering the house did Li Yining feel liberated.

She had just laid down and hadn't had time to take a shower when Huo Shen's video call came in.

Li Yining's eyes lit up, and he answered happily, "Are you done?"

Huo Shen sat in the study and looked up at her: "No."

Li Yining raised his eyebrows.

Huo Shen smiled: "Calculating the time, you should be in the house by now."

Hearing this, Li Yining rolled his eyes.

She bluntly pointed out Huo Shen: "You might as well say that the bodyguard told you."

Li Yining has always had bodyguards around him, but during daily filming, the bodyguards would stay outside and rarely show their faces.

Only when we return to the villa will the bodyguards appear quietly around the house.

Li Yining discovered this by accident and even went to ask Huo Shen about it.

Their identities have not been revealed yet, but just in case, it would be most appropriate to have someone secretly protect them.

Huo Shen smiled softly and didn't mind being exposed by her.

He looked at the excited face in the camera and his tone softened: "Are you tired?"

"tired."

Li Yining was very honest: "I'm a little sleepy."

Huo Shen paused: "Are you still weak?"

Li Yining: ""

Her face flushed, and she glared at Huo Shen: "Shut up." Li Yining's eyes wandered, looking at the furnishings in the room: "By the way, I've caused you trouble tonight."

"Um?"

Li Yining explained the situation of the crew. At the end, she blinked and asked cautiously, "Will I be scolded for this answer?"

Huo Shen smiled: "No."

He paused and looked at her. "Not a bad answer, but not enough."

"What?"

Huo Shen pondered for a moment and said calmly: "You can tell everyone with confidence that Huo Shen is indeed pursuing you."

Li Yining was speechless. Facing Huo Shen's deep eyes through the screen, her heart quickened a little bit.

She pursed her lips, lowered her head and muttered to herself: "Isn't this a lie?"

Huo Shenyang raised his eyebrows: "Laughing?"

"Yes." Her eyes were wandering and she felt a little guilty.

Hearing this, Huo Shen suddenly smiled: "No." He looked at the woman in the camera and said word by word: "I am pursuing you."

Li Yining: “…”

——

After lying on the bed, Li Yining rubbed the quilt, thinking about the conversation he had with Huo Shen that night.

What do you mean I am chasing you?

She didn't feel it.

But she was too embarrassed to say it.

However - Li Yining rubbed her cheeks, thinking about the look in Huo Shen's eyes when she hung up the phone... Why did she feel like her little thoughts were seen through?

To be honest, Li Yining has never been pursued by anyone.

When she was in school, Li Yining was also pretty, but she didn't like to interact with others. She basically didn't talk or chat with her classmates. Every day, she read novels and watched dramas, and had nothing to do with worldly affairs.

Sometimes she would see other girls being pursued by many men and she would feel jealous, but after the jealousy, Li Yining felt that it was also good for her.

She lives a free and easy life alone and doesn't need anyone to disrupt it for the time being.

But after coming here, I somehow became fascinated with Huo Shen and fell in love with him.

So in a way... Li Yining really wanted to experience the feeling of being chased.

Although it doesn't matter if I don't pursue her, I will definitely feel vain and happy to have her.

As he thought about it, Li Yining was amused by his own idea.

She was holding her cell phone, but couldn't fall asleep. After thinking for a while, Li Yining hypnotized her online and she fell asleep.

The next day, Li Yining was woken up by a phone call from Song Jing before he woke up.

"Ning Ning!"

Li Yining was stunned: "Ah?"

Her voice was hoarse and she looked completely sleepy.

Song Jing paused and asked in a low voice: "Did you say anything on the set?"

Li Yining was confused: "What?"

Song Jing said quickly: "Now someone broke the news online, saying that you admitted on the set that Teacher Huo Shen was pursuing you...Did you say that?"

"???"

Li Yining went to Weibo and saw that the top trending search was his own.

#Li Yining publicly admitted that Huo Shen pursued her#

As soon as this topic came out, fans went wild. Regardless of whether they were true fans or not, they all felt that Li Yining was too shameless.

After all, no one believed that Huo Shen's Weibo post really had that meaning.

She glanced at the first Weibo post, which was posted by a big V of a marketing account.

Gossip Gathering Place v: Li Yining publicly admitted on the set that Mr. Huo Shen was pursuing him. What do you think about this? [Video].

[What the hell are you looking at? Can Li Yining stop being so shameless? Did Teacher Huo pursue her? Why didn’t I see it? ]

[I'm not saying that Teacher Huo's Weibo post was just to ease the embarrassment. She really has the nerve to say that Teacher Huo is pursuing her. ]

[This woman really doesn't miss out on any popularity. She used to be Jiang Yuan, and now she's Huo Shen. She's really awesome! ]

【Get lost! I don’t want to watch this! 】

[She is just bragging. Teacher Huo hasn't even admitted that he's pursuing her, so why is she saying this herself? She should have some shame.]

[Fuck, if Mr. Huo really pursues her, I will stop being a fan! ]

【Don’t watch! Get lost! 】

[Marketing accounts, please don’t try to lead the way. This video is misleading at first glance! 】

[I don’t think Li Yining is such a fool. From this video, it’s obvious that someone is setting a trap for her. There might be more words before the video, just don’t cut it off!]

…

Some people scolded her, while others spoke up for her.

After all, she is no longer the artist with a lot of negative news. After so many slaps in the face and the last variety show, Li Yining has also accumulated a small number of true fans.

Looking at those remarks, she sneered.

Song Jing felt a little numb when she heard her laugh: "What are you laughing at?"

"Laughing netizens."

Song Jing: "Don't laugh at me first, tell me how to deal with it." She paused and asked in a low voice: "Actually, I have always wanted to ask you, what is the relationship between Huo Shen and you? He said he was pursuing you... I seemed to believe it."

For some reason, when Song Jing thought about the last time Huo Shen came to pick her up and the time when he publicly admitted on the variety show that they knew each other, she had a feeling that Huo Shen treated Li Yining differently.

She had taught Huo Shen for a period of time, although only a few months, but she still had a certain understanding of this man.

A man like Huo Shen would not easily get involved with a woman. Even if Li Yining said that they had a mutual friend, Huo Shen would not help others to that extent.

Li Yining: "... probably the relationship I mentioned about pursuing me?"

Song Jing: "Don't be so naughty with me. How are you going to deal with this?"

Li Yining thought for a moment, smiled and said, "Doesn't Huo Shen have a commercial interview today? Let him answer."

Song Jing: "...Have you guys agreed?"

Li Yining: “No.”

Before Song Jing could say anything, Li Yining smiled and said, "But he should respond if he sees it, don't worry."

Song Jing wasn't worried about that, but she was worried about something else.

She was silent for a moment, then asked softly, "Don't you think you are... too confident in Huo Shen? It's not that you are blindly confident, but you are very confident that he will respond and help you block everything."

Li Yining was startled, and after a pause he said, "Yes, I believe him."

Believe that man and you won't let yourself get hurt.

After hanging up the phone, Li Yining watched the video from beginning to end and laughed.

The video has been edited, with a few of her sentences cut out, leaving only her confident words about not yet feeling Teacher Huo's pursuit of her.

After thinking about it, she forwarded the video to Chen Zhou and added a note: [Please help me fix the video. This video has been edited.]

Chen Zhou was probably not fully awake yet and did not reply to Li Yining in time. It was not until the afternoon that Li Yining received a reply from Chen Zhou.

——

In the morning, Huo Shen saw the Weibo message.

His eyes darkened and he looked at Yu Xing: "Let someone control the comments."

Yu Xing was relieved: "What else?"

Huo Shen paused and thought of something: "Will all the media reporters be present for today's interview?"

Yu Xing was stunned: "Yes."

Huo Shen pursed his lips and said calmly: "Tell them that I am accepting a private interview today."

Yu Xing: "..."

After Yu Xing finished the work at hand, a few people set out together in the afternoon to go to the commercial performance venue.

The first stop was at a university in City A. As soon as they arrived at the school gate, they were met with many fans cheering them on on the roadside, which made them very excited.

Huo Shen's expression was indifferent, but at this moment there was a hint of smile on his face.

He got out of the car and responded to the excited fans.

After entering the backstage lounge, the director glanced at him and chuckled: "I thought you would be late."

"will not."

Huo Shen smiled and said, "You have been here for a long time?"

Before the director could say anything, Chen Yu smiled and said, "No, I arrived just ten minutes before you."

He pointed and said, "There are still two actresses who haven't arrived yet."

Huo Shen nodded and said nothing more.

The director glanced at him and asked, "What happened to the Weibo post that day?"

Huo Shen sneered and sat down on the side: "You can't escape, right?"

Director: "...What do you think? My premiere that day was overshadowed by your big talk. Why don't you give me an explanation?"

Huo Shen said nothing.

Chen Yu smiled and couldn't help asking, "Is Teacher Huo really pursuing Li Yining?"

Just as he finished speaking, two actresses came in through the door. When they heard the question, they were both startled.

Before Huo Shen could answer, Xue Qingqing said with a smile: "Teacher Chen, are you kidding me? How could Teacher Huo -"

"Yeah." Huo Shen raised his eyes and looked at the director, saying word by word: "Do you think I'm a joker?"

Director: “…”

Chen Yu: “…Really?”

Xue Qingqing and Lin Sitong were stunned, and the former's face changed.

The director choked for a moment, then suddenly laughed and patted Huo Shen on the shoulder: "It's rare."

He smiled cheerfully: "I've known you for so long but this is the first time I've seen you say you're pursuing someone. You finally seem a bit like a normal person!"

Hearing this, Huo Shen didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"Wasn't I a normal person before?"

"Ask Chen Yu."

Chen Yu was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Before, I was like a god, not involved in mundane matters."

Huo Shen: “…”

A few people were chatting and laughing. Huo Shen didn't say much, but he would still answer when asked about the key points.

After a while, it was time for the commercial performance.

The movie will be officially released tonight at dawn, and in order to promote it better, I have to attend this commercial performance today.

Commercial performance. In addition to college students who came to watch movies, there were also media reporters.

This was the first commercial performance, and Huo Shen was working with a famous director. Reporters would not miss such a good interview opportunity, not to mention that after Huo Shen posted that Weibo, they had not found an interview opportunity or received a definite answer.

Therefore, many reporters came to this event today in order to get first-hand interview information about Huo Shen.

When the actors came on stage, the audience was filled with screams and enthusiastic shouts.

Huo Shen stood in the middle, with a faint smile on his face, looking at the people below the stage.

After the film was introduced, reporters rushed to ask questions, and the scene was very chaotic for a while.

Li Yining was dragged to watch the live broadcast.

Her part in the afternoon was not heavy, so it ended after filming one scene. Fu Meng also had nothing to do, so she squatted in a corner with a computer and watched the live broadcast.

I also called Li Yining along.

"Ning Ning! There's a live broadcast of Teacher Huo's movie today. Do you want to come and watch it?"

Li Yining: “…”

She was stunned for a moment: "Look."

Fu Meng smiled: "I knew you would come."

After a while, Mo Congnan also ran over from the side: "I want to see it too."

All of a sudden, the team watching the live broadcast became much stronger.

Director Shen doesn't have much objection to their after-school activities. He just focuses on filming and they can have fun the rest of the time.

When the interview started, everyone stared with wide eyes.

The reporter's initial questions were quite serious, but suddenly they went off track later on.

Li Yining saw a female reporter asking, "Teacher Huo, can I ask a personal question?"

Huo Shen nodded calmly, "Okay."

When these words came out, everyone was very excited.

The reporter suppressed his excitement, took a deep breath and asked, "There is a rumor online - Teacher Huo, you are pursuing Li Yining, is this true?"

As soon as the words fell, everyone looked up and waited for Huo Shen's answer.

In the bullet screen of the live broadcast room, fans’ messages were scrolling rapidly.

【Ahhhhh, finally it’s time to get to this point!!! Teacher Huo, please fight back! Tell everyone that it’s not true!】

[My teacher Huo is finally going to prove his innocence. It’s not easy! ]

【Wow, reporter, you are awesome! 】

Hearing this, Huo Shen looked at the reporter with gentle eyes and eyebrows: "Do you need to ask more?"

His tone was calm, but somehow convincing.

The reporter was stunned, and before he could react, Huo Shen looked at the camera and said word by word: "The Weibo post should have made it very clear."

He paused for a moment and smiled: "I am pursuing Ningning, not chasing stars, but pursuing what I like."
