Gu Baiwei was speechless. Was Su Peipei out of her mind? She hadn't provoked her today.
How has she managed to survive until now, given her personality—the kind where she'd kick even a dog if she was in a bad mood?
"Sister Weiwei, don't pay attention to her. Su Peipei is like that to everyone."
Gu Baiwei nodded, and the two walked out hand in hand.
A stage had already been set up outside, and the two of them slowly strolled over to watch the excitement.
Today is the first day of filming for the production team. The opening ceremony will be held this morning.
On the makeshift platform, there was an offering table covered with a red cloth, on which were placed a pig's head, fruit, snacks, and so on. In front of the offering table was a smaller square table, also covered with a festive red cloth, but instead of offerings, it had a huge incense burner on it, which would be used by everyone to burn incense later.
This was Gu Baiwei's first time participating in such a ceremony, and she was both curious and excited.
When it was her turn to offer incense on the platform, she had just lifted her foot when she caught a glimpse of Su Peipei next to her subtly stretching her leg out in her direction, clearly intending to trip her and embarrass her on the spot.
Gu Baiwei curled her lips into a cold smile. Under Su Peipei's expectant gaze, she raised her foot and then slammed it hard onto the back of Su Peipei's foot.
Su Peipei was standing with her arms crossed, looking smug as she waited for Gu Baiwei to trip her up, when suddenly a piercing pain shot through the back of her foot.
She immediately screamed and shoved Gu Baiwei away.
Wow, that's pretty strong.
Gu Baiwei clicked her tongue inwardly, then immediately feigned a weak demeanor: "Su Peipei, what are you doing? Why did you push me? What if I get hurt on this joyous day and it affects the crew's luck?"
Before Su Peipei could speak, she adopted a weak and submissive demeanor and took the initiative.
Playing dirty tricks is something everyone knows how to do.
"What nonsense are you talking about? You were the one who stepped on me first!"
Su Peipei didn't expect her to accuse her first. She originally wanted to bring up her foot injury, but when she remembered that Director Chen was said to be a bit superstitious, she changed the subject: "Gu Baiwei, I know you tried to seduce my ex-boyfriend before and failed, so you're holding a grudge. You're deliberately taking revenge, aren't you?"
Gu Baiwei listened coldly to her accusations, arms crossed, looking like she was watching a good show. After she finished speaking, she said quietly, "I'm sorry, I didn't know your legs were so long that you couldn't stand in such a big place and insisted on pushing yourself under my feet."
She paused, looked Su Peipei up and down, and clicked her tongue: "As for your precious ex-boyfriend, I'm sorry, I'm not interested in different species. If I had to say there's anything between us, it would just be that I love wild animals."
"you……"
Su Peipei's face flushed red with anger, and the onlookers instantly understood that it wasn't that someone deliberately stepped on her; rather, she had stuck her foot out in front of them, and her intentions were obvious.
At this moment, assistant director Guo Hua heard the commotion and rushed over. He pulled Su Peipei aside and warned her in a low voice, "Are you trying to get out of the crew if you cause this trouble?"
Su Peipei glared at Gu Baiwei resentfully before leaving with Guo Hua.
Tsk, he's bad at the game but has a huge addiction to it.
With the troublesome person gone, Gu Baiwei was in a great mood. She walked steadily onto the stage, picked up the incense sticks, bowed to them with great flair, and placed them in the incense burner.
He appeared calm and collected on the surface, but in reality, he was desperately making a wish.
May the Bodhisattva bless me. I am not greedy. I only hope to live a peaceful and prosperous life, to be beautiful, to have filial and healthy children, and for everything to go smoothly. If I could also make a little money, that would be even better...
The opening ceremony ended quickly. When the main cast and crew took a group photo, Su Peipei, wearing high heels, swayed her hips and pushed Gu Baiwei aside.
She was very strong, and Gu Baiwei was caught off guard and almost fell over. Fortunately, a handsome man wearing glasses next to her helped her up, so she didn't fall flat on her face.
Are you alright?
The man has a handsome and refined appearance, and a tall stature, which is the popular look of a young, fresh-faced man nowadays.
Gu Baiwei forced a smile at him: "Thank you."
Her small face, no bigger than a palm, had eyes as bright as stars, and her smile was as radiant as the spring sun in March, making it impossible to look away.
Shen Xuan stared at that face, momentarily lost in thought.
At that moment, a click was heard, and the moment was frozen in time.
After the photo shoot, Su Peipei turned around and proudly raised her chin at Gu Baiwei. Wearing high heels, she swayed past Gu Baiwei, looking just like a victorious rooster.
"Yes, a big butt means you can have a baby."
Gu Baiwei suddenly smiled and said something, causing Su Peipei's high heels to slip and she almost fell flat on her face.
How can you be so rude?
"You're bullying me because you have a big ass, and now I'm not allowed to say anything?"
Su Peipei felt a lump in her throat. She was relatively plump and hated it most when people said she was fat, even if it was just a subtle comment.
Gu Baiwei didn't care whether she was angry or not. After saying what she wanted to say, she clicked her tongue and turned to leave.
Shen Xuan, standing behind her, took in the entire scene and looked at Gu Baiwei with a hint of interest.
Time quickly passed to afternoon, and the formal filming began.
The first scenes to be filmed were those of the male and female leads. Gu Baiwei had nothing else to do, so she stood aside and observed and learned.
It must be said that although Su Muqing has a bad temper, her acting skills are indeed very solid.
She watched with great interest from the sidelines. Soon the male lead appeared, and she realized that the actor playing the male lead was the same young man who had been standing next to her during the photo shoot.
This person's name seems to be Shen Xuan?
It's strange that when the male lead is filming, he doesn't stand in the center position, but is squeezed into a corner like her. Is he also being ostracized?
That shouldn't be the case. How could someone with such poor acting skills become the male lead?
Just then, Shen Xuan's smiling eyes swept over her, whether intentionally or unintentionally, and the staff behind her immediately lowered their voices and screamed like groundhogs.
"Ahhh, Shen Xuan is looking at me."
"Pah, he's clearly looking at me, he's so handsome."
"Oh my god, what a handsome young man, I really want to date him."
Gu Baiwei couldn't help but glance at Shen Xuan again. Perhaps because she had seen so many handsome men, she didn't think Shen Xuan was particularly handsome.
To be fair, I feel he's a little less capable than Shen Yanqing.
Shen Yanqing has the kind of face with very delicate features, so even when dressed as a woman, she looks perfectly natural.
But this kind of appearance doesn't make people feel gentle and beautiful. On the contrary, his noble and elegant demeanor makes him look like a noble young master who has stepped out of a comic book.
Although Shen Xuan was also handsome, his features were far less refined and three-dimensional than Shen Yanqing's.
As Gu Baiwei was reading, she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her abdomen.
She immediately clutched her stomach, feeling a warm liquid flowing out, and froze on the spot.
Could I be that unlucky? My period started right now? That's incredibly timely!
If I remember correctly, she seems to have a scene where she has to go into the water later.
No, she absolutely cannot go into the water at a time like this.
I already have some menstrual cramps, and if I go into the water, it will be so painful!
