After hanging up, Shi Nianyao changed out of her costume.
She handed the costume over to the stage supervisor. Then, hugging Mo Xicheng’s down jacket, she walked out of the changing room.
Mo Xicheng was now filming another segment at a different venue.
She stood by the side, watching and carrying the down jacket.
As a supporting actor, he had always come across as a refined gentleman.
But now as the lead actor, he seemed to exude a certain kind of fierceness.
Shi Nianyao was mesmerized as she watched.
Her male idol was indeed dashing!
Especially his side profile—that high nose bridge, his sculpted cheekbones that defined his distinct silhouette, his deep, dark eyes that were so dazzling to look into...
Furthermore, when he got into his role, he was so convincing. The man before her now was just like a noble gentleman in the olden days, full of arrogance and unwillingness, juvenile in nature.
Mo Xicheng did not notice this during filming.
However, when the first segment of filming ended, he suddenly realized that a pair of bright, sparkling eyes were following his every move.
He turned around and saw that Shi Nianyao was standing nearby, staring at him with her chin resting on both her hands. Her eyes were ablaze and more scorching than the sun... to the extent that he started to feel a little uncomfortable.
He turned away and tried not to notice her, but during the filming of the next segment, it was quite obvious that he had gone a little off-track.
Although the director was pleased with his performance, he himself knew that his focus was shifting to the undivided attention of a particular pair of eyes.
“Achoo!” He heard Shi Nianyao sneeze from a short distance away.
Mo Xicheng paused and frowned.
“Cut!” the director shouted and said, “Teacher Mo, the male lead shouldn’t be frowning at this point. He’s supposed to be extremely pleased...”
However, Mo Xicheng’s frown did not disappear with these words. On the contrary, he made a signal, asking the director to stop, and walked out of the set.
From a distance, Shi Nianyao saw Mo Xicheng coming towards her, step by step, until he was right in front of her.
His majestic frame was a whole head taller than her.
He was so dashing in his costume that it made her heart thump wildly.
As she daydreamed, a card key appeared before her eyes.
Shi Nianyao was stunned for a moment and, the next moment, she was elated!
Was this a hint... that her idol would like her to visit him in his room?
Was her male idol going to bed her?
As Shi Nianyao was fantasizing in her own head, Mo Xicheng said in an unhurried tone, “Go rest in my room.”
So her idol was only asking her to rest. It wasn’t that he intended to bed her... The disappointment she felt came as a surprise to herself even. What was going on?
She hung her head and did not take the keycard from him. “But I want to stay and watch you film.”
Mo Xicheng immediately pushed the key into her hand and said, “You’ll affect me if you hang around here.”
Not understanding what he meant, Shi Nianyao widened her eyes, puzzled.
Affect him? Was she being troublesome just by hanging around?
Suddenly, she felt even more disappointed. It was disheartening to hear him say that she was affecting him that way.
She took the card key and nodded.
Mo Xicheng gave some instructions to his assistant, although Shi Nianyao wasn’t paying attention and had no idea what was being said.
When they arrived at his hotel room, she stood there feeling dispirited and dejected.
After a short while, the doorbell rang. She paused for a moment. Mo Xicheng was still filming, so at this time of the day, who could it be?
