Regardless, Fu Wenze insisted and escorted Song Ci out of his resting room.
Chu Yi managed to catch a glimpse of Song Ci as she was walking out. He could also see Fu Wenze’s expression. The latter was clearly very fond of Song Ci. She was truly charming.
The staff around Chu Yi kept talking. He smiled but his mind was preoccupied with something else.
It was almost winter.
Song Ci returned to her resting area and quickly called Lu Gan.
Lu Gan asked, “Aren’t you busy?”
“It’s fine. Are you guys staying warm in this weather?”
Lu Gan could not help but laugh.
“Your location is much colder than mine and you have to wear specific outfits for filming. You’re the one who should try to stay warm.”
“Don’t worry.”
Song Ci drank a cup of hot water while chatting with Lu Gan.
Filming should be done by the end of December. Song Ci would be jobless again, but she could spend the new year with Lu Gan. That thought made her happy.
“Will you come and visit me this week?”
“Do you want me to visit you?”
Song Ci snorted and said proudly, “What? If I don’t, you won’t come?”
Lu Gan felt that Song Ci was being very cute. He really wanted to pinch her face.
“I’ll come anyway.”
Song Ci smiled.
“Then why did you ask?!”
“I just want to hear your voice.”
“Hurry up and come… I really want to see you.”
After saying that, Song Ci could not help but laugh.
Lu Gan could only imagine Song Ci’s facial expression. He replied dotingly, “Okay.”
The two of them chatted for a while.
Suddenly, Song Ci heard footsteps. It was Xie Qian. He stood outside her resting room and asked, “Song Ci, are you there?”
Song Ci quickly ended the call with Lu Gan. It was time to “teach” again.
Sigh! Being a teacher was hard!
That night, Chu Yi was unable to fall asleep. He had a cigarette in his mouth, but it was not lit. Chu Yi just kept biting it.
Chu Yi’s roommate saw his deep expression and asked, “What are you thinking about?”
“Nothing.”
“Give me a cigarette.”
Chu Yi handed his cigarette case.
“Do you actually smoke? Why are you just holding it in your mouth?”
Chu Yi did not say anything. He took out the cigarette from his mouth. Since he had been chewing it, there were teeth marks around. The cigarette was more or less ruined.
Chu Yi’s roommate took out a lighter, lit his cigarette, and started to smoke. Then, he threw the lighter at Chu Yi.
After a long time, Chu Yi finally lit his cigarette which was almost bitten off.
It was almost winter. How could he just ruin his source of warmth?
The next day, there were two dumbbells in front of Song Ci. She asked Chu Yi in a confused tone, “What is the meaning of this?”
Chu Yi replied, “They’re for you. These dumbbells are actually not that heavy. They should be useful for your martial arts scenes. I think you just lack some strength, so I’ll help you with training.��
“???”
Chu Yi looked at Song Ci’s shocked expression and smiled.
“What’s wrong? Are you afraid?”
Song Ci shook her head.
“Not really. But… Are they really useful?”
“It’s not enough to only rely on these dumbbells, but let’s train first. Depending on the results, I’ll make some adjustments.”
Song Ci nodded.
Chu Yi was a stunt double for various movies. No doubt, he had more experience than her on this matter.
“Your character is familiar with martial arts. If you train more, you’ll fit into the role better.”
Upon hearing those words, Song C’s hesitation disappeared.
“Alright. I’ll have to trouble you, Brother Chu!”
Actors and actresses had to take their roles seriously. Song Ci did not think she was putting in too much effort. To her, this was only a normal amount.
