The film crew can never follow the script exactly for shooting; they usually try to finish all the scenes at a location in one go.
Ji Niandong flipped through the script, thinking they would start with the scene of having dinner with Qiao Anlu at home, so it would finish quickly. Unexpectedly, they started filming the school scenes first.
There are several school scenes, and she hasn’t had time to prepare them all.
Thinking that Ada notified her to go on set next Monday morning, she decided to take this time to ask Sheng Mingyuan for some advice.
Ji Niandong tidied up a bit and was about to head to Sheng Mingyuan’s studio for class when Lu Sinian followed and asked, "Sister Tongtong, where are you going?"
"Sister Tongtong is going to class, see you tonight!" she said happily, ruffling his hair.
But Lu Sinian anxiously said, "Isn’t it summer vacation? Why do you have to go to class, Sister Tongtong? Can you take me with you?"
"The class Sister Tongtong attends is different from yours at school. Be good, Sister Tong will bring you something delicious when she comes back tonight!" She turned and changed her shoes to leave.
Lu Beichen also began preparing to leave. Seeing him standing there, his little face almost about to cry, he casually said, "Adults have their own things to do. Since you don’t want to attend any other tutoring classes, Sister Zhou will come to take you to Grandpa’s house in a while."
Every summer vacation was so dull and boring, with no one to accompany him. Lu Sinian thought it would be different now that Sister Tongtong was here, but it turned out everyone was busy!
He puckered his lips helplessly, "Mr. Lu, you better sign me up for some interest classes!"
"Alright! Which one do you like? I’ll have Sister Zhou take you there in a while!"
Lu Sinian turned and walked inside, head held high but shoulders slumped, feeling bored.
When Ji Niandong arrived at the classroom, the participants hadn’t started yet. She sat on the side, waiting, when a young girl suddenly sat next to her, softly and timidly saying, "Hello, sister. My name is Zheng MiMi, I’m 16 this year!"
She looked sweet and cute, with a small round face, fair and tender, and innocent big eyes that were bright and shining.
Ji Niandong didn’t expect anyone to approach her so proactively and quickly replied with a smile, "Hi, I’m Ji Niandong, 24 years old. You can indeed call me sister."
The young girl was a little shy, "Sister, you came really early. I saw you as soon as I arrived! It seems like everyone’s discussing you on Weibo lately. You look even prettier in person than in photos."
"Not at all! Photos look better, thanks to the retouching!" Ji Niandong replied modestly.
Zheng MiMi also smiled sweetly, glanced up to see a group of participants coming in, and whispered, "They’re all pretty close, led by Huanhuan. I hear she’s a second-generation rich, very wealthy. You better not offend her."
The young girl whispered a warning in her ear, and Ji Niandong quickly nodded, feeling quite pleased inside.
The girl named Huanhuan was tall, her face full of pride. When she came in, she glanced disdainfully at Zheng MiMi beside her.
Zheng MiMi turned her head away, not daring to look at her, only keeping her head down, easy to bully.
"Zheng MiMi, why are you sitting there? Class is about to start, move over!" Huanhuan snorted coldly.
Zheng MiMi responded softly, keeping her head down as she obediently moved over.
Huanhuan reached over and pinched Zheng MiMi, causing the young girl to frown in pain but not daring to make a sound.
It seemed like a warning to others through her. Ji Niandong watched silently, subtly waiting for the teacher to arrive.
The entire classroom seemed divided into two factions: the others and her!
