"Has the Wen Family really fallen to such dire straits?" Xia Shi’s words were a bit harsher than she intended.
Wen Zhi could no longer maintain his composure.
"Regardless, I can still afford a room. You wait here, I’ll get you breakfast and change the room."
At the door, Wen Zhi stopped. "Do you need me to bring clothes for you?"
He had only remembered that she had come in last night wearing a jacket, not out of concern for her.
"No need, I simply can’t agree with your taste!" Xia Shi glanced at her clothes and decisively shook her head.
Wen Zhi felt like he was punishing himself. Why else would he have asked this woman?
Hearing the loud slam of the door, Xia Shi reflected on herself. Was she really so harsh in her words?
She quickly denied it. It must have been Wen Zhi’s inability to withstand her comments.
Just a few words and he couldn’t handle it. Xia Shi had even less respect for Wen Zhi.
Speaking of Wen Zhi always led Xia Shi to think about Jun Mochan.
Wen Zhi was nothing compared to Jun Mochan; one was on earth, the other in the sky.
A madness appeared in Xia Shi’s eyes—for she must have Jun Mochan no matter what.
Xia Shi’s obsession with Jun Mochan was abnormal to an extreme, bordering on a twisted sort of love.
As a cherished and pampered woman, Xia Shi had always got everything she wanted from a young age.
If she showed the slightest interest, people would present that thing to her.
Men were no exception. As long as she beckoned, any man would come running, save for a few hard to tackle ones.
Yet even with all her charms, she still couldn’t attract Jun Mochan to her.
Making such a fool of herself...
Xia Shi could barely stand it. You could say it was unbearable for her.
When Wen Zhi returned, he found Xia Shi with a face full of jealousy.
Excessive jealousy had distorted her beautiful face.
Wen Zhi found it hard to side of Xia Shi.
"You can have any man you want, why are you so obsessed with Jun Mochan?" Wen Zhi asked while setting the things on the table.
Xia Shi picked up a sandwich. "You said it yourself, I can have any man I want. Why can’t it be Jun Mochan?"
Wen Zhi didn’t know how to persuade her; he only thought that a woman in madness was scarier than men.
After breakfast, Wen Zhi moved Xia Shi to another room.
"Are you planning to stay here for the next few days?"
"Mm, I don’t want to go back yet. Stay with me for the next few days." Xia Shi invited him.
How could Wen Zhi refuse such an enticing offer? He readily agreed.
So, while Mrs. Huo was frantically looking for Xia Shi, she was actually playing love games with a man.
Ye Ranran knew nothing of the drama unfolding here. After hanging up the phone, she went to the theatre.
The male supporting actor finally got into character today. Scenes that couldn’t be filmed smoothly before were completed in one take. The director even forgot to yell cut as each scene progressed better than the last.
"After this scene, we are done for the day," the director announced.
In the last scene, the female lead was climbing a tree to pick wild fruits. They were in the deep forest, where the male supporting actor lived alone.
The rescued female lead didn’t want to always trouble the male character, so she decided to pick some fruit to stave off hunger. However, her injuries had not fully healed.
She fell from the tree, hitting an assassin sent by the female antagonist who was just passing by, narrowly escaping death.
