The grudge that had been existing in her heart for a long time was removed. Yun Xi could not help but reveal a smile. It was exceptionally bright, completely different from her usual self.

Even Gu Linyan, who had been in the entertainment industry for many years, did not expect her to have such a reaction. He turned his head to look at her in puzzlement. “What are you smiling at? Don’t you believe what I Said?”

“No, no, I didn’t mean it that way. Teacher Gu, You’ve misunderstood. I just feel that you’re very dedicated to your work.”

Gu Linyan’s question came too suddenly, and Yun Xi did not know how to answer for a moment. In a moment of hot-headedness, she threw out the customary pleasantries.

Fortunately, Gu Linyan was relatively calm and did not make Yun Xi feel too awkward.

“You’re quite interesting. This is the first time I’ve heard someone say that.”

Seeing that he looked a little lonely, Yun Xi thought that there was going to be a show about a lonely genius. Just as he was about to console him, he was choked by Gu Linyan’s next reply.

“After all, with my good looks, people tend to forget that I’m also a capable person, not to mention that I’m dedicated to my work. Perhaps this is the trouble of being too outstanding.”

‘So, Best Actor Gu Linyan is so narcissistic in private?’

Yun Xi secretly held her breath and spent a lot of effort to stop herself from smiling. “So that’s how it is. Then I’ll praise you more in the future.”

“There’s no need to say it out loud. It’s too deliberate.”

Hearing that, Gu Linyan lowered his head and pursed his lips into a light smile, revealing a shallow dimple.

She did not know if it was because of the alcohol, but Yun Xi suddenly had an illusion. Other than his status as the best actor, Gu Linyan was actually no different from any other young man.

Of course, this thought only came out for a moment.

With regards to her position in the production team, Yun Xi knew from the very beginning that no matter how happy the conversation was now, she and Gu Linyan were destined to be worlds apart.

Other than the fifth supporting actress, there were four other female artistes who were ranked ahead of Yun Xi. They were all hot new stars in the industry. She was a little unnoticed because she did not have many achievements. Hence, all the erotic scenes were to be played by her. 

In addition to the fact that she did not have many scenes in her previous works, this movie could be said to be her debut on screen.

Once the movie was released, Yun Xi would definitely become the center of everyone’s criticism.

This was something that no one could change.

Since she could not escape from it, she might as well enjoy it. Yun Xi could only console herself like this.

At the last minute, she even took the initiative to drink and clink glasses with Gu Linyan. The bubbles in the champagne entered her throat along with the alcohol, which made Yun Xi sober up quite a bit. When she opened her eyes again, she returned to her usual appearance.

She didn’t want to fight, ask, or watch.

The party continued until three in the morning. By the time Yun Xi returned to the room that the production crew had booked for her, the sky was already beginning to brighten. After all, she could still sleep for four and a half hours.

It had to be said that having the ‘Best Actor’ on set was a good thing. Even a nobody like her could enjoy a single luxurious bedroom.

Lying on the bed, Yun Xi habitually glanced at her phone. The notification showed that Qi Chen had sent her a message, but she didn’t reply.

Ever since the incident at the bar, Yun Xi did not know how to face this relationship.

While they were on set, it would be good to let them calm down.

With this thought in mind, Yun Xi finally fell asleep.

Because she still needed to shoot the next afternoon, she got up early to prepare. As soon as she arrived at the set, she was called over by the assistant director.

“Yun Xi, come here for a moment. The director wants to talk to you about the scene.”

“Coming.” Hearing someone call out, Yun Xi quickly took the props and walked over.

Director Zhao was dressed more casually today. He even wore a pair of sunglasses on his face and looked very approachable. When he saw Yun Xi walking over, he even specially waved at her.

“Today is the first day of shooting. Don’t be nervous. If you have any questions, just ask Gu Linyan. That kid has a lot of experience. Don’t be afraid of giving him trouble.”

“Don’t worry, I will do my best.”

Although she knew Director Zhao was kind enough to enlighten her, Yun Xi still couldn’t let go..
