Luo Yuwei was stunned for a moment, obviously feeling his hand touching... She quickly stepped back two paces, and Ye Xian’s words flashed through her mind in an instant.
"You don’t think he’s a bit too attentive to you?"
Could it be... just as Ye Xian had said?
Luo Yuwei’s smile became somewhat stiff as she shook her head, "No, it’s just an inner pocket design."
Zou Gang looked at her defensive steps, smiled, nodded, and turned away.
Had there been no other action? Was she thinking too much?
Maybe Teacher Zou just looked after her as if she were his daughter, without paying attention to anything else.
The next scene at Yanliu Mountain was Xia Qingshao becoming an apprentice. Besides the main character Xia Qingshao, the supporting roles were the Qiankun Sect’s array of masters and the various families’ closed-door disciples. Zou Gang walked to a group of actors playing masters and sat down. Someone passed him a cup of water, "Old Zou, where did you go just now?"
"Just the restroom, sigh!"
As he spoke, he sighed.
The actors beside him looked at him curiously, "You sigh after going to the restroom?"
Zou Gang: "Didn’t I just pass by the rest room just now and saw our little leading lady? The young actors these days are different from us back in the day, truly something else. They don’t even greet their seniors and complain about having to act with a bunch of old hacks."
On hearing this, several old actors were shocked, "Old Zou, did she really say that?"
"I just happened to pass by and overheard it, don’t take it seriously."
"How can we not take it seriously?"
The old actors were outraged. They hadn’t expected Luo Yuwei, this little missy, who had been so respectful to their faces and seemed so innocent and pure, to be gossiping behind their backs.
Them, old hacks? When they were in their prime, she probably didn’t know where to get her milk. They were supporting a newcomer, and she had the audacity to gossip.
It seemed a lesson was in order for her not to realize the immensity of heaven and earth.
"Xia Qingshao, get ready!"
The film set’s stage manager called Luo Yuwei with a microphone. Luo Yuwei quickly put down the script, silently recited her lines, and stood within the scene.
Zeng Minghui adjusted the camera a bit and nodded, "Action!"
The Qiankun Sect’s senior disciple stood on the Observation Platform announcing the apprenticeship ceremony. When it was Luo Yuwei’s turn, she picked up the tea from the doorman’s hand and started to walk towards the lowest-ranked master.
"The daughter of Martial Arts Alliance Hierarch, Xia Chongming—Xia Qingshao, greets Master Feng Nian!"
Master Feng Nian nodded, reached out to take the teacup, and when his fingers touched the bottom, he applied a little force. The cup slipped from his hand and rolled off, spilling all the tea onto his robe.
"I’m so sorry~ so sorry~"
Luo Yuwei was startled and apologized repeatedly.
Zeng Minghui shouted cut. The actor playing Master Feng Nian, while cleaning his robe, glared furiously and scolded her, "What’s the matter with you? Can’t you even hold a cup of tea properly? What else can you do?"
"I’m really sorry, truly sorry~"
Luo Yuwei kept bowing and apologizing.
Zeng Minghui: "Alright, alright, Feng Nian, come down and fix your clothes on the side. Xia Qingshao, start to serve tea from the right."
Master Feng Nian continued to grumble as he left the set, cursing in a way that made Luo Yuwei’s hands shake.
She had prepared for this scene for several days, and she hadn’t expected such a major mishap right from the start. All the actors and crew members outside the set seemed to be covering their mouths, whispering amongst themselves.
They were probably laughing at how foolish she was.
