When Xia Wei Liang led Xiao Yi into the wooden house, everyone was stunned!
Director Huang immediately ordered, "Cut!"
Everyone shut off the machines with great tacit understanding and then crowded around. A Ning and Situ were the most excited: "Ahhh, Brother Yi! Why are you here? Didn't you say you wouldn't have time to come this time?"
Xia Wei Liang automatically ceded the center spot and stood obediently outside the circle.
It was clear this had nothing to do with her!
Xiao Yi's gaze swept over her, then he nonchalantly withdrew it. "I missed you all."
"Ah! Mom, did you hear that? Brother Yi misses me!! He said he misses me!!" A Ning jumped up with joy.
Situ also finally revealed a relieved smile. It was tiring to keep an eye on Niang Niang for the Film Emperor!
Su Yu Xi sat in a corner, drinking peppermint tea alone, his hand trembling slightly as he held the cup.
He clearly hadn't expected Film Emperor Xiao to arrive so quickly!
Right after he had been rejected by Xia Wei Liang.
So, did he know about his confession? Su Yu Xi wasn't scared; it was his male pride that was at play.
He suddenly stood up and walked back to his room. Xiao Yi, who hadn't even spared him a glance, only cast a slight look at him now, a smile playing on his lips.
When Yan Zhi came in, he brought everyone a lot of cooked food, saying it was from the general store owner.
"You mean that owner?" Wai Shao asked, looking surprised. "That owner is so business-savvy, he practically wanted to sell us his big iron pot!"
The others nodded incessantly, refusing to believe the owner would give away so much.
Yan Zhi smiled and waved his hands. "I became sworn brothers with him. From now on, he's my elder brother! This is all from my elder brother!"
Everyone looked at him with admiration. See? That's what people associated with the Film Emperor were like!
The golden assistant wasn't just a title!
Dinner was very lavish, all thanks to the general store owner's second brother.
Since everyone was sleeping stacked together, there were many empty rooms, directly giving Xiao Yi and Yan Zhi a whole room.
Xiao Yi called Yan Zhi over and handed him a tube of ointment. "Take this to her."
When he held her hand, he saw wound after wound, big and small. He didn't ask but had someone outside send over a tube of ointment.
Yan Zhi took it and, in the manner of a caring little angel, patted his chest. "I guarantee it'll get to Niang Niang!"
He then scurried away.
As soon as Xiao Yi lay down, his phone screen lit up.
He picked it up and saw, "Thank you for the ointment. Also, that day… why didn't you leave? If you had left, I wouldn't have known who it was."
He raised an eyebrow. "This is even a question?"
Wasn't it normal not to leave?
He had never considered the question of whether to leave or not.
After a long while, the other side replied: "Sleeping, goodnight."
"Goodnight."
He wondered what was going on with the young girl these past two days; her mood seemed to be fluctuating quite a bit.
He wouldn't pry or try to investigate. What he needed to solve were her problems and troubles, not to desperately dig into her little secrets.
The next day, Lang Yue arrived early. Before everyone else was awake, she voluntarily went into the kitchen to help prepare breakfast.
Director Huang was deeply moved, rubbing his little hands and standing to the side in a state of helplessness!
Da Zhuang: "Second Uncle, I think you can go up and hand a plate right now."
Xiao Shuai: "Adding a piece of firewood wouldn't be bad either."
A word awakened the dreamers. Director Huang quickly went in to help. Su Dan Novel Network
Qiao Ge, holding an electric toothbrush, was buzzing away when he saw them and shook his head. "So what if they like each other? They still have to leave in a few days, right? Can he stay here as the village chief's brother-in-law?"
One sentence silenced Da Zhuang and Xiao Shuai.
After becoming a hot young director with "Courage," Director Huang had several variety shows produced by the station, with his schedule reportedly booked until the year after next!
It was precisely the time for him to showcase his ambitions and spread his wings. Why would he place himself in such a small mountain village? Solely for this brief infatuation… no, love at first sight!
But looking back again, the atmosphere in the kitchen was truly wonderful, with steam swirling in the air, looking like love's pink bubbles from any angle.
Moreover, Lang Yue's gaze towards Director Huang wasn't completely devoid of feeling. It was clearly a case of the man wanting her, and she having the means!
It's over, the setup for a tragic romance novel on Jinjiang.
After the food was ready, everyone else had also woken up.
Xia Wei Liang yawned and stretched. "Children, today's mission is heavy! You must eat a filling breakfast!"
Situ, Wai Shao, and the others responded loudly: "Yes!"
Lang Yue smiled as she looked at them and said, "You don't seem like you're here to film a show, more like you're genuinely experiencing life here."
Gu Mo Village hadn't been without filming crews. She hosted two or three on average each year.
But "Courage" was a first. They would shut down the cameras whenever they said, and stop filming whenever they wanted, but more importantly, they would get things done.
Director Huang stood beside her, his face so red it was unmentionable.
"Ex-experiencing it is also good. If we could… experience it often, that would be great."
Lang Yue blinked in surprise, then quickly regained her composure, lifting her head and looking at him with clear eyes. "Okay, you're welcome."
Although still bright, this attitude of welcoming him like any ordinary visitor didn't make Director Huang happy at all.
Just then, Xiao Yi, dressed in sportswear, returned from outside.
He had a habit of morning runs, whether on break or with the crew, and had never interrupted it.
After entering, he took off his headphones and instinctively looked towards Xia Wei Liang. She immediately turned around, her earlobes a cute shade of pink.
Xiao Yi chuckled, washed his hands, and then joined them for the meal.
As a VIP, he was invited by the director to the table with the main dish of pan-fried small river fish. Director Huang spoke to him in a low voice, and he only faintly replied, "Two days at most."
Xia Wei Liang picked up her bowl to drink her congee. A Ning beside her leaned in and whispered, "Brother Yi can only stay for two days, it's so rushed~"
She mumbled, "Oh."
"Sister, your charm is truly great! God Yi rushed all the way to such a remote place. I heard from Yan Zhi that he compressed three days' worth of work into one all-nighter and rushed to the airport first thing in the morning!"
Xia Wei Liang paused. She thought he had a vacation…
On the other side, Yan Zhi calmly ate his steamed bun and then glanced at A Ning—well done!
Su Yu Xi came out without any discernible change in his emotions and greeted Xia Shen Li and Xiao Yi with a smile.
Remembering what happened last night, Xia Wei Liang felt a pang of sympathy. After all, Su Yu Xi was innocent at this time.
Therefore, she took the initiative to go to the kitchen, added some congee, and placed it in front of him. "Eat it while it's hot."
"Thank you," Su Yu Xi looked up at her, his gaze firmer than ever.
Just then, a deep, emotionless voice boomed from behind: "Excuse me, please add a bowl for me too."
