Song Chen suddenly sat up from the sofa, lifted the blanket, and asked Gu Chu, who was playing on the computer, “Chuchu, where’s Your mother?”
Gu Chu said, “Mommy went to the set to shoot.”
Song Chen put on his coat and was about to walk out. “No, she’s still sick. How can she work?”
“Uncle Song, my mommy’s fever has subsided.” Gu Chu stopped her father and pointed at the milk and bread on the table. “Mommy said that when you wake up, you have to eat breakfast. She also said, thank you for taking care of her.”
Song Chen paused for a moment, and his handsome face suddenly turned slightly red. He quickly finished the bread and milk, dialed his assistant’s number, bent down to put on his shoes, and didn’t forget to remind Gu Chu, “Chuchu, don’t run around. Uncle Song has something to do. Call me if you need anything.”
Gu Chu: “Okay.”
She watched as her father ran away.
Gu Chu sighed in her heart. Love really made her father change into a completely different person.

Gu Manxi’s low fever had subsided and her body was fine. She was afraid that she would delay the production team’s progress, so she quickly returned to filming.
Lu Shanhe was worried. “Manxi, don’t force yourself. I’ve moved your filming back. It’s not too late for you to come back in the afternoon.”
“It’s okay.” Gu Manxi shook her head. “The production team’s filming progress is slow to begin with. If we delay any longer, the filming cycle will be even longer.”
Lu Shanhe was a character who strives for perfection.
If he was not satisfied with one shot, he would even shoot it over and over again for three days, just to achieve his ideal perfect effect. The pursuit of perfection often led to Lu Shanhe film cycle being very long and expensive. If not for the fact that he always gets many viewers, many investors would want to withdraw funds.
Lu Shanhe found a doctor and took Gu Manxi’s temperature again. After confirming that her temperature was normal, he called the cast and crew to start a new round of filming.
In the morning, it was Gu Manxi and Cao Yuezhi’s scene.
“I heard that you had a fever last night.” Before filming began, Cao Yuezhi asked casually as she tidied up her cheongsam.
Gu Manxi gave her a friendly smile. “It’s okay. But you were also drenched in the rain for a long time yesterday. Don’t get sick.”
Gu Manxi did not know how Cao Yuezhi was secretly targeting her, and she did not know about Cao Yuezhi’s dirty background. She had always been modest and kind. In Gu Chu’s words, she was the “silly and sweet heroine.”.
“My body is good. I have fitness training every month.” Cao Yuezhi did not show any negative emotions on her face.
As the saying goes, you see others as the kind of person you are.
Now, Cao Yuezhi felt that Gu Manxi was deliberately “showing off” in front of her. First, she pretended to be sick to win the sympathy of the director and the extras to earn herself the label of being “dedicated”. Then, she deliberately came in front of her and inadvertently mentioned “being drenched in the rain for a long time”, wasn’t this Gu Manxi beating around the bush to ridicule her poor acting skills? Laughing at her for not passing one scene after filming for more than five hours?
With a simple and innocent face, she had deceived everyone in the production team.
Getting sick just from a little rain? Who would believe that!
The new round of filming began. Cao Yuezhi adjusted her attitude. This time, the filming was not as repetitive as yesterday. Cao Yuezhi quickly got into character and the morning filming ended smoothly. The usually harsh Lu Shanhe also revealed a satisfied smile.
Lu Shanhe said, “You’re in pretty good shape today, Yuezhi.”
Cao Yuezhi’s pretty face turned slightly red. This was the first time Lu Shanhe had spoken to her in such a gentle manner since she joined the crew. It was worth it for her to spend the whole night reading the script, repeatedly trying to figure out the character, and doing her homework so that she would not be crushed by Gu Manxi’s acting today.
