She wondered if the stage supervisor had removed Qiao Lian from the filming set.
If they ran into each other... Qiao Yiyi clenched her fists and summoned her assistant. “Go look for the extra right now and once you’ve found her, get her out of here!”
The assistant nodded and left.
But who would have thought that Qiao Lian was in Best Actor Shen’s lounge?
Whilst Qiao Lian had gone away with Shen Liangchuan, Shi Nianyao had no such luck.
Best Actor Shen had suddenly halted the filming and Shi Nianyao had nowhere to go. She could only tag along with Mo Xicheng.
The two of them stood in a corner outside.
Shi Nianyao had taken off her down jacket during filming.
Mo Xicheng, as a supporting actor, didn’t have his own lounge and had to share one with a couple of minor actors.
Although usually he would share one with Shen Liangchuan, he knew that today Shen Liangchuan would have taken Qiao Lian there.
He didn’t want to be a third wheel together with Shi Nianyao.
Right now, a cold wind was blowing, causing Shi Nianyao to shiver.
When Mo Xicheng saw this, he took the down jacket that his assistant had given him and draped it over her shoulders.
She paused when his warm aroma filled her senses as he did this.
The down jacket was warm from Mo Xicheng’s body heat.
And all of these warmed her heart.
Mo Xicheng looked at her and said in his deep and low voice, “Why are you here?”
Shi Nianyao looked at him for a moment. Then, pursing her lips, she said, “I- I’m here to attend to some business!”
“Oh,” Mo Xicheng said, “you’re here to be an extra?”
Shi Nianyao was stumped.
He contemplated it for a moment and finally said, “Are you in need of money?”
She grimaced and said, “I’ve left my job at the news agency.”
A look of realization crossed his face. “So you and Ms Qiao came here for work?”
Shi Nianyao wondered to herself if Mo Xicheng had misunderstood something.
She was about to explain the matter, when he frowned and spoke again after a brief moment of hesitation, “Then you should stay. The filming crew will need extras. I can give the stage supervisor a call and see if he might be able to give you a role with some lines. your salary will be higher too.”
After hearing this, Shi Nianyao immediately swallowed her words and nodded. “Yes, yes, I need to make more money!”
Noticing that her nose was red from the cold, he unconsciously reached out to tap it.
This little gesture slightly stunned the both of them.
Embarrassed, as though just realizing what he had done, he withdrew his hand.
At the same time, there seemed to be a sudden buzz among the filming crew as they scurried around. Whisper about an investor coming to visit could be heard.
Tugging at Shi Nianyao, Mo Xicheng said, “I’m afraid there won’t be anymore filming tonight. I’ll take you back to the hotel to rest.”
Shi Nianyao’s eyes lit up at once.
Was she going to be in a room together with her male idol?
As this thought entered her mind, the stage supervisor came running towards them, exclaiming, “Oh, I’ve finally found you! Where’s your friend?”
At this point, the stage supervisor did not bother listening to whatever Shi Nianyao was saying, but took out 200 and placed the banknotes into her palm. “This is your pay for today, please leave quickly.”
Shi Nianyao turned to look at Mo Xicheng, flabbergasted.
Mo Xicheng raised an eyebrow and said to the stage supervisor, “This is my friend. Can you put her on your list of extras?”
