Chapter 26: Director Lin, all men, we get it!
Re Ba, such a stunning beauty, appeared on the set.
And she was having a heated chat with Director Lin.
This relationship is far from ordinary.
Of course.
They didn't dare to speculate about the two of them.
But human nature is gossipy; who hasn't felt a bit curious?
Shen Teng and his crew, their eyes bulging like copper bells, gathered around Tian Xiwei asking, "Xiao Tian, who is the beauty chatting with our Director Lin? Do you know?"
Tian Xiwei looked bewildered and shook her head, indicating she didn't know.
"Even you don't know?" Shen Teng said, sounding surprised.
The people nearby started chattering, some saying, "Looks like she's probably Director Lin's girlfriend!"
"Yeah, yeah, I think so too."
Shen Teng is now the top general under Lin Mo.
Seeing his boss being discussed, he hurriedly stepped forward, "Alright, alright, stop guessing!"
With that, everyone politely fell silent.
After all, Shen Teng is the male lead and gets along well with Director Lin.
They don't want to lose their jobs by idle gossip.
Over here.
Lin Mo naturally noticed the way everyone looked at the two of them.
So he led Re Ba into the RV.
When the door closed, cutting off the outside noise, Re Ba immediately leapt into Lin Mo's arms like a kitten.
"Mo Ge, I missed you so much!"
Although they'd been apart for less than half a month.
Re Ba felt as if they had been apart for a long time.
How to put it.
Couples in the honeymoon phase often feel that way.
Lin Mo is no exception.
Ahem...
Next.
The two of them spent over two hours in the RV, being affectionate and playful.
As for the shooting outside,
it was, of course, left to Chen Zhong.
Chen Zhong is now Lin Mo's capable assistant.
All the way until mealtime.
Only then did Lin Mo take Re Ba's hand, walked over, and said with a grin, "Come, let me formally introduce her: this is Re Ba, my girlfriend!"
Everyone, upon hearing that, broke into knowing smiles.
Obviously.
They had guessed it long ago.
Re Ba's cheeks flushed slightly from the sudden attention; she shyly smiled and, in a gentle voice, greeted everyone, "Hello, I'm Re Ba, pleased to meet you all."
Then Lin Mo introduced the main crew to Re Ba, from Shen Teng and Ma Li, to veteran actor Li Li Qun, to Tian Yu and other seasoned actors; each gave Re Ba a warm welcome.
When introducing Tian Xiwei, Lin Mo added, "This is our junior sister from the same batch, Tian Xiwei!"
Hearing that, Tian Xiwei's face lit up with a sweet smile; she stepped forward and warmly shook Re Ba's hand, "Hello Senior Sister Re Ba, I'm Tian Xiwei, just call me Xiao Tian!"
Re Ba replied with a smile, "Hi, Xiao Tian, nice to meet you!"
After everyone got acquainted,
Lin Mo finally led Re Ba to sit down.
Chen Zhong, being efficient, quickly opened the lunchbox.
Lin Mo was used to it, but Re Ba politely smiled at Chen Zhong and softly said, "Thank you, sorry for the trouble."
Upon hearing that, Chen Zhong waved his hand hurriedly and said with a smile, "No problem, no problem."
"This is Chen Zhong, the Assistant Director of the crew, and also our senior!"
Lin Mo added the introduction from beside.
Re Ba has been debuting for almost two years and has joined many crews.
She just saw that as well.
Mo Ge's crew really has great catering.
"Mo Ge, the food in your crew is the best I've ever seen!" Re Ba said sincerely.
Lin Mo, hearing that, smiled and replied, "Of course, filming isn't easy for anyone, so regarding meals I must make sure they're satisfied; no compromise!"
Li Li Qun, standing nearby, gave Lin Mo a thumbs‑up.
"Director Lin, after all these years of acting, you're the most humane director I've ever seen!"
His words were absolutely sincere.
Unlike other crews,
few directors treat extras as people.
The cheap boxed meals cost a few yuan each, while the best are only about ten‑something yuan.
Not like Lin Mo, whose standards are so high.
Tian Yu also says, "I agree with that!"
"Mainly because the weather is so hot, I don't want food and drink to delay anything!"
Lin Mo said with a smile.
The reason he ordered the boxed meals to be prepared so well was also because of this.
After all.
The weather is truly hot right now.
If we get a stomach upset from food, wouldn't that delay the shooting?
Therefore, Lin Mo repeatedly emphasized to the crew that the meals must not be sloppy.
After eating, Lin Mo confidently handed the filming duties to Chen Zhong and planned to spend quality time with Re Ba.
Re Ba felt a bit guilty and said worriedly, "Mo Ge, why don't you go ahead and shoot the later scenes first, so I don't hold up the schedule?"
When Lin Mo heard that, he smiled, pulled Re Ba into his arms, and comforted, "Don't worry. Chen Zhong has been with me for so long and knows my directing style. Even if today's shoot isn't perfect, we can redo it tomorrow. The important thing is to be with you now."
Re Ba, hearing Lin Mo say that, nodded reassuringly.
Speaking of which,
Lin Mo has been in Lushun for almost half a month.
He hasn't really gone out much.
So he's not very familiar with the place.
The two just go wherever they end up.
Anyway, it's late at night and there's nothing fun around.
They treat it as a walk.
The next day.
Lin Mo only arrived at the crew at noon.
Regarding that,
Everyone in the crew understood tacitly.
Putting aside his role as director, Lin Mo is just a man in his twenties.
As a man, everyone gets it.
Naturally, Lin Mo also noticed the way those guys looked at him.
But Lin Mo was too lazy to care.
He plopped himself directly in front of the monitor.
He glanced at the scenes Chen Zhong shot last night.
"Not bad, not bad!"
Lin Mo nodded in satisfaction.
Hearing that, Chen Zhong beside him finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He had feared that Director Lin would be dissatisfied with last night's footage.
Afternoon.
With Lin Mo at the helm, filming continued.
As for Re Ba,
she was at the hotel.
Lin Mo told her to come to the crew later; it was too hot during the day.
Three days.
It passed in the blink of an eye.
During those three days, Lin Mo filmed by day and took Re Ba out at night.
They got a bit bored after a few days.
When Re Ba left, she felt a little reluctant.
At this moment, Lin Mo was still filming, and the assistant was packing her luggage. Re Ba picked up her phone, hesitated, and sent Lin Mo a message: "Mo Ge, I'm heading back to the crew!"
Within seconds, Lin Mo's reply popped up: "Got it, wait a moment, I'll come right over to see you off!"
Re Ba put down her phone, feeling a warm surge inside.
Soon after, Lin Mo hurried to the hotel, dust‑covered.
He carried two cups of milk tea, handed one to Re Ba with a grin: "Your favorite, enjoy it on the way!"
Of course.
Lin Mo also didn't forget to give one to Re Ba's assistant.
"Thanks, Brother Lin!"
The assistant shouted happily.
She is also a sensible person.
Seeing Lin Mo arrive, she closed the door for the two of them and left.
Re Ba took the milk tea, her eyes slightly red: "Mo Ge, I don't really want to leave…"
Lin Mo gently patted her back and said with a smile, "Silly girl, we're not shooting a tragedy. This drama wraps up quickly—at most a month. Then we'll travel and have a great time!"
Re Ba nodded, forcing out a smile: "Hmm~"
The two lingered in the room for a while.
They arrived at the hotel lobby.
The car door opened slowly, Re Ba sat inside, but she didn't close the door right away; instead she stuck her little head out of the window, her eyes sparkling as she looked at Lin Mo, full of reluctance.
Lin Mo saw this, a smile tugged at the corner of his mouth, and he waved his arm gently.
Re Ba watched Lin Mo's familiar and warm smile, and a warm current rose in her heart.
She nodded firmly, then slowly closed the car door.
The car started to move slowly, and Re Ba still watched Lin Mo through the rear window until his figure grew smaller and finally vanished from view.
