A body double sword-fighting more handsomely than the male lead, truly overshadowing him.
However, Ling Fei showed no signs of anger. Instead, he was very friendly towards Liu Yifeng.
Witnessing this, everyone felt Ling Fei had great character. Some even took photos of their friendly interactions.
As for the female lead, Meng Xi, who deeply loved Ling Fei's portrayal of the male lead in the drama, she was indifferent to him in real life.
So, no matter how others praised Ling Fei, she remained unfazed.
She just wanted to finish filming as soon as possible. Filming in this weather was truly torturous.
In the afternoon, Liu Yifeng's performance was as good as ever, and soon it was time for his wrap-up.
Even though he was just a body double, never even showing his face.
The ritual was still in place. Director Wang had already ordered a bouquet of flowers to present to Liu Yifeng after his last scene.
As soon as he came off set, he immediately presented the lilies: "Yifeng, congratulations on wrapping up your first ever drama!"
Liu Yifeng took them and said sheepishly, "I'm just a body double, not some big star. Why waste money on flowers!"
"Who says it's a waste? This is your debut, a bouquet of flowers is the least we can do," the director replied.
As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Yifeng received another bouquet of flowers. The sender was a young girl.
"Not bad, you've only been here two days and already have a young lady sending you flowers," Director Wang teased from the side.
But Liu Yifeng didn't recognize the girl. It wasn't until he received a text message from Meng Xi, also congratulating him on finishing filming, that he understood.
He then realized the flowers were from her and immediately replied with a "Thank you!"
"Yifeng, your scenes are all done. Are you planning to go back today or tomorrow?" Director Wang asked.
"I'm heading back tonight. I promised Tongtong!" Liu Yifeng thought, after helping Meng Xi, he would drive straight back.
Director Wang nodded, "You've been away for two to three days, it's indeed time to go home.
However, I still have a lot of work in progress and can't escort you back. I'll find time to visit the TV station another day and apologize properly!"
"Director Wang is too kind. You just focus on your work, I know the way back, no need to send me off!"
"Alright then, hurry up and change back into your own clothes, and take off the wig."
Afterwards, Liu Yifeng, holding two bouquets, went to the makeup room and gave the flowers to the makeup artist and the staff responsible for selecting actors' costumes, respectively.
Upon receiving the flowers, both were overjoyed, and their day's fatigue vanished.
In a short while, Liu Yifeng had changed back into his own clothes, put on his Rolex, and removed the wig.
Just as he was about to leave the set, Ling Fei found him: "Yifeng, are you leaving?"
Liu Yifeng nodded, "Yes, I'm going back. You still have quite a few scenes left, film them well. I wish your drama great success."
"Then I'll borrow your good words. Call me if you need anything in the future, we're friends now, no need to be so formal," Ling Fei said with great generosity.
Liu Yifeng also knew that Ling Fei's friendliness was likely due to seeing his luxury car and knowing he was wealthy.
That's why he made overtures of friendship. However, seeing that Ling Fei didn't seem like a bad person, he smiled and replied, "Okay, let's keep in touch when we have time!"
After bidding farewell to Ling Fei, Liu Yifeng drove his car away from the set. At the same time, he received a call from Meng Xi.
She had left the set half an hour earlier than Liu Yifeng, timing her call perfectly.
"Hello, Mr. Liu, have you left the set?"
"I just drove out of the set. Where are you?"
"I'm at the hotel and about to head to our appointment. I'll text you the address and other details, you can drive directly there.
When you arrive at the restaurant, if you're hungry, you can eat first. I'll let you know when to come up via text message."
Liu Yifeng said "Okay" after listening, and the call ended.
Shortly after, Liu Yifeng received the information from Meng Xi. He found a place to park and opened the text message.
He saw the location of her appointment and the private room number. He then activated the navigation and drove directly to the restaurant.
It was exactly 6:30 PM, the time Meng Xi was meeting with the producer. Assuming they had just met and the dinner wouldn't end so quickly, Liu Yifeng entered the restaurant.
He found a seat, ordered a dish and a soup, planning to eat something first.
This way, he would have time even if Meng Xi sent him a distress signal.
Soon, the dishes were served. Liu Yifeng didn't have any alcohol or drinks. He simply asked the waiter for a bowl of plain white rice and ate with relish.
The taste of the dishes here was similar to what he was used to, with spice being prominent.
However, his usual preference was pure spiciness, while here it was numbing and spicy. For those who couldn't handle much spice, the numbing and spicy option was more palatable.
Otherwise, if someone insisted on pure spice against advice, they might end up in the hospital for a stomach pump.
About an hour passed. Liu Yifeng was wondering why Meng Xi hadn't texted him yet. Had she been gotten drunk?
Just as he was considering whether to go to the private room to check the situation, his phone immediately received a text message from Meng Xi.
It contained only one line: "Come up in five minutes, please!"
Seeing the word "please," Liu Yifeng felt a heavy sense of responsibility.
If he didn't save her from the producer, one could easily imagine what she would go through.
Therefore, no matter what, he couldn't let that producer succeed, lest he bring shame upon all men.
Otherwise, people might think all men were as beastly as that.
He immediately stopped delaying, called the waiter, and paid the bill. The meal cost him one hundred and eight yuan.
The soup alone was seventy-eight yuan, the rest for the stir-fried dishes and plain rice.
It wasn't excessively expensive, nor was it cheap.
For an ordinary family, they wouldn't be willing to dine at such a restaurant.
After paying, Liu Yifeng meticulously tidied his appearance, making him look like a gentleman.
He then headed upstairs. The second floor had ten private rooms, varying in size.
Soon, Liu Yifeng found the private room where Xia Qianqian was located. The door was closed.
If he were to barge in carelessly, it would be easy for them to suspect he was sent by Meng Xi.
Just as he was about to press his ear against the door to listen for any sounds inside,
suddenly the door opened. Meng Xi was wearing a black strapless long dress with a vest over it, revealing her alluring figure.
Her long black hair cascaded down her chest.
Her delicate features, due to intoxication, made her eyes appear hazy, her cheeks flushed, and with her slightly parted lips, she exuded a deadly allure.
Even Liu Yifeng, who was accustomed to seeing beautiful women, found it hard to resist when he saw Meng Xi in this state.
