âBrother Xiao Cai,â Han Zhuofeng called out from a distance when he saw Wei Wucai, who currently had his head lowered while looking at his phone.
Wei Wucai turned his head to look and saw the two people walking over. He said, âI donât know where Zhiqing has gone. She didnât seem to be there when I went to her room and rang the doorbell. I thought she came down first, but even after coming down here, I still donât see her.â
Shi Xiaoya said in surprise, âZhiqin didnât tell you? She went to the set first. She said that she wanted to go in advance to prepare for todayâs scenes.â
âNo.â Wei Wucaiâs eyebrows knitted slightly.
Shi Xiaoya wondered inwardly if the two people had gotten into a conflict.
Wei Wucai and Yan Zhiqing had clearly still been fine last night until the moment Shi Xiaoya and Han Zhuoling left.
Could it be that Wei Wucai and Yan Zhiqing fought after Shi Xiaoya and Han Zhuoling left?
However, having seen the scene of them together last night, she thought they simply did not seem like they would have gotten into a fight.
Their relationship couldnât be that of being passionately in love, but this pair of man and woman who were currently in an ambiguous phase would naturally see every aspect of each other in a good light.
Their lens could filter even their flaws into something beautiful.
How could they possibly get into a fight?
âLetâs go to the set first,â Shi Xiaoya said to Wei Wucai. âAre you coming with us in our car?â
Wei Wucai nodded.
Although he had driven his own car here, he decided to leave with Shi Xiaoya and Han Zhuofeng.
Like this, wouldnât it be convenient for him to continue taking Yan Zhiqingâs car back to the hotel?
Early in the morning, Yan Zhiqing had left ahead of schedule by herself.
However, would she be able to leave earlier as well in the evening? Or would she perhaps delay her return?
Either way, he would have a chance to be with her.
In the evening, Shi Xiaoya and Han Zhuofeng could return by themselves. Then he could go and hitch a ride with Yan Zhiqing.
That would be even better.
Wei Wucai thought this was pretty good, so he got into Han Zhuofengâs car with Shi Xiaoya.
Shi Xiaoya was really curious, but she did her best to restrain herself.
She held it back for quite a long while, but ultimately, she could not restrain her curiosity.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
With Han Zhuoling as her support, Shi Xiaoya truly wasnât particularly afraid of Wei Wucai.
Consequently, she said, âThat, uh⦠Xiao Cai, you⦠Did you have a fight with Zhiqing?â
âHm?â Wei Wucai was surprised for a moment. Then he asked, âWhat makes you say that?â
âYou didnât?â Shi Xiaoya let out two dry laughs. âHehe, I was just asking. Itâs good that you didnât. Good that you didnât.â
Wei Wucai was really smart. It only took him a moment to understand why Shi Xiaoya had asked such a question.
âDo you feel that Zhiqing is deliberately avoiding me?â Wei Wucai asked.
âNo, definitely not,â Shi Xiaoya said hurriedly. âYou were clearly just fine last night. Why would she be deliberately avoiding you today?â
ââ¦â From the start, Wei Wucai had been feeling that there was something not quite right.
Upon hearing Shi Xiaoyaâs words, Wei Wucai now suddenly felt that perhaps Yan Zhiqing was truly avoiding him on purpose.
But why would she?
âThatâs right. Why would she?â Wei Wucai thought puzzledly.
âNo, no. Itâs just me thinking groundlessly. Donât overthink it,â Shi Xiaoya said in a hurry.
Wei Wucai shook his head. âNo, I think it makes a lot of sense. Even if she did truly go to the set early because of acting issues, why did she tell you about it but not me?
âIsnât my relationship with her pretty good right now? Moreover, I go knock on her door early in the morning every day and then walk down to the lobby with her. If she wanted to leave earlier, she should have told me at least. Itâs not as if itâs a troublesome thing to just send out another text message. Yet she didnât tell me.â Wei Wucaiâs tone grew increasingly heavy. âI think sheâs avoiding me.â
âOr it could just be that Zhiqing forgot,â Shi Xiaoya said. âPlease donât think about it so negatively.â
Wei Wucai stopped talking. He clearly did not take in Shi Xiaoyaâs consoling words.
Instead, he thought back to his interactions with Yan Zhiqing last night after Shi Xiaoya and Han Zhuoling left.
However, no matter how he thought about it, he could not pick out anything inappropriate.
He did not do anything improper to Yan Zhiqing.
Even whatever was published on the Internet was done so with her permission.
So, why exactly was Yan Zhiqing avoiding him?
Wei Wucai thought about it the whole way to the set, but he still could not figure it out.
This was the case right until the car came to a stop in the parking lot outside the set.
The three people got out of the car and entered the set. Then Han Zhuofeng went to look for Wu Mosen.
Shi Xiaoya naturally went straight to the makeup room.
âHang on,â Wei Wucai called out to stop her.
Shi Xiaoya stopped in her tracks and turned to look at him.
Then she heard Wei Wucai say, âIâll go with you. Zhiqing should be waiting for you in the makeup room.â
âShe should be.â Shi Xiaoya nodded.
So the two people went to the makeup room together.
Unexpectedly, Yan Zhiqing was not there.
At this moment, Yan Zhiqing was next door in Gao Zishanâs makeup room.
Today, Gao Zishanâs scenes would be filmed later in the day, so she would not arrive until later.
Since the makeup room was empty, it was convenient for Yan Zhiqing to hide in there.
âZhiqing, your makeup room is next door. What are you doing here?â Fang Qiaohan asked.
âI⦠Iâm here to read the script. Thereâs no one here, so itâs quiet,â Yan Zhiqing said.
Fang Qiaohan was filled with suspicion.
When she saw Shi Xiaoya and Wei Wucai arrive, she rushed to tell Yan Zhiqing.
Yan Zhiqing immediately panicked and could no longer keep reading the script in her hands.
She rolled up the script and said, âFor now⦠Donât go over there for now. Wait a while.â
âWhy?â Fang Qiaohan asked, baffled.
âIt⦠Just until Wei Wucai leaves. Then weâll go over.â Yan Zhiqing felt helpless and could only speak truthfully.
Otherwise, she would have no choice but to go over.
Fang Qiaohan now had her confirmation that Yan Zhiqing was indeed avoiding Wei Wucai.
Fang Qiaohan moved closer to Yan Zhiqing. Wei Wucai was clearly next door, so he would not be able to hear them speak.
Nevertheless, Fang Qiaohan could not help lowering her voice like she was afraid Wei Wucai would hear them.
âAre you avoiding Wei Wucai?â Fang Qiaohan asked.
Yan Zhiqing immediately avoided Fang Qiaohanâs gaze. âWhy⦠Why would you think that?â
âThen why are you waiting for him to leave before you go over? What if he doesnât leave? Wouldnât you be delaying getting your makeup done?â
ââ¦â This was the first time that Yan Zhiqing felt it was really challenging to have such a frank assistant. âIn⦠any case, Iâm not avoiding him! Itâs just that itâs not convenient for us to meet right now.â
She added, âHe shouldnât stay for very long, right? He still needs to go do his work.â
Just as she finished speaking, Yan Zhiqing received a call from Yan Beicheng.
âBrother, you woke up this early?â Yan Zhiqing asked in surprise.
Ever since Yan Beicheng became a father, he truly slept and woke early, working and resting with extreme discipline.
âYouâre even mentioning that? Last night, I went straight to sleep after coaxing my two kids to sleep, so I didnât see the matter that broke out on the Internet.â Yan Beicheng got angry the moment he brought this up. âWhat exactly is going on between you and Wei Wucai?!â
Yan Zhiqingâs lips stuck out in a pout. âBrother, why arenât you asking about how I was bullied by Lu Xiuse and Luo Qingxian? Is my relationship with Wei Wucai the important thing here?â
