Chapter 50: Yang Mi: Why Does Your Romance Feel Like Playing House!

Jian Dan chatted with Xiao Tian for a while.

Then.

Luo Kai then took Lin Mo to look around the film crew's surroundings.

The staff were still setting up the site.

Because the film's opening ceremony was scheduled for 3 p. m.

The Offering Table, Incense Burner, fresh flowers, fruit, as well as the Banner, Poster and other promotional materials were all prepared.

The Camera and other equipment had long been ready, covered with a red cloth to prevent any accidents.

Soon.

The crew members arrived one after another.

The first step was to pray and worship a deity, and as for whom to worship—

Of course it was Lord Guan.

A Guan Gong Statue had already been placed before the Offering Table, then Lin Mo led the way, followed by the crew members who took turns offering incense and bowing.

Lord Guan is a symbol of loyalty, righteousness and martial bravery in our traditional culture, helping to protect the crew from accidental harm.

Next, the chanting master recited sutras to pray for blessings.

This setup is far more elaborate than the last shoot of Charlotte's Trouble!

At least it should be a bit more professional.

Finally.

Lin Mo, as director and producer, personally lifted the red cloth from the Camera and officially announced the start of The Richest Man in Xihong City!

As for the subsequent tedious matters—

They were naturally handed over to his assistant, Luo Kai.

After the film's start,

Lin Mo did not begin filming right away.

Because the first scene wasn't here.

It was on a court!

After handing the local affairs to Luo Kai, Lin Mo called everyone to move to a new location.

In the vehicle.

Everyone was chatting.

Lin Mo glanced over at Xiao Tian beside him; she was looking at her phone screen, her fingers dancing as she edited photos.

Lin Mo laughed and teased, "Girl, you're still photoshopping? Are you giving anyone a chance to live?"

It's not just her.

Re Ba is the same.

Every time after taking a picture, she has to seriously edit it.

Unlike him, who always uses the Original Camera, never edits, and has "handsome" written across his whole life.

Tian Xiwei looked up, phone still in hand, a smile flashing in her eyes, and innocently blinked, "Senior brother, you're out of touch! Taking a photo takes five minutes, editing two hours—that's the ritual for us girls! Who doesn't want to look a few points prettier in photos, right?"

Lin Mo raised an eyebrow and pretended to be serious, "Perfect? You're already perfect enough; keep editing and you might become a spirit! Still, I must admit your editing skill is truly impressive—you could even straighten this tree for me."

The remark sparked a burst of loud laughter in the carriage, and everyone was amused.

Shen Teng, standing nearby, laughed with his eyes narrowed into a slit, "Director Lin, you're unfair to Xiao Tian. Our crew has plenty of good looks; editing is just the icing on the cake!"

Chang Yuan in the back row chimed in cheerfully, "Exactly, Director Lin, that's going too far—being handsome yourself and not letting the little girls pursue perfection!"

"Yuan'er, your flattery skills are already half my own power!"

"No, no, Tengge, you're my teacher!"

"To hell with you!"

"Hahaha!"

Lin Mo laughed and interrupted, "Alright, alright, you two stop being petty!"

The laughter inside the vehicle grew louder, as if even the scenery outside the windows brightened along with it.

Meanwhile, on the other side.

Online.

The news of The Richest Man in Xihong City's start spread online.

Of course, there was a behind‑the‑scenes push behind it.

The push behind the scenes,

It had to be Liu Qin.

After receiving the Boss's word, the film was set to start.

She then began to hype it online.

"Ah, Director Lin has a new movie?"

"Is Shen Teng the male lead?"

"I just saw a photo; Shen Teng is there, so he must be the male lead and hasn't run away!"

"Is it a comedy? I think Shen Teng is pretty funny right now!"

"+1"

"Where is the filming location?"

"Director Lin, you already have a new drama so quickly!"

Netizens kept the heated discussion going.

Now Lin Mo is far more famous than before.

A 《Charlotte's Trouble》 made him completely famous.

Like Shen Teng, Xiao Tian, and Chang Yuan.

They all shared the crew's opening photo on their Moments.

Including Lin Mo as well.

This isn't.

He had just posted this on his Moments for less than a few seconds when someone liked and commented.

Seeing this familiar profile picture.

Lin Mo couldn't help but smile.

Who else could it be but Re Ba?

"Wishing Mo Ge a smooth shoot and great success!" — Re Ba

The next second.

A message pop‑up appeared.

Re Ba sent him a cute emoji sticker.

Seeing that, Lin Mo also replied with an emoji sticker.

The two acted like elementary school students.

You send an emoji sticker.

I send an emoji sticker.

On the other side.

Hengdian.

Re Ba was immersed in her phone world, her fingers flying across the screen, her face lit with an uncontrollable smile, as if she had found some treasure, utterly delighted.

Yang Mi walked over from a distance, and at first sight was captivated by Re Ba's grin that she couldn't stop.

No need to think about it.

This girl must be chatting with Lin Mo!

She lightened her steps, crept closer, bent down like a sneaking kitten, and peeked at Re Ba's phone screen from behind.

The result...

When she saw Re Ba and Lin Mo's chat contents.

Good grief!

Black lines appeared on her head.

Not...

Are you two playing house?

Re Ba sensed movement behind her, whipped around, and met Yang Mi's gossipy glittering eyes; startled like a thief caught, she shoved her phone behind her back and coquettishly snapped, "Mi Jie, why are you so awful, sneaking a peek at our secret chat!" After saying that, her face flushed with two rosy clouds, making one want to pinch her cheeks.

"Re Ba, do you two always chat like this?" Yang Mi sat down laughing, her eyes full of curiosity, her tone tinged with teasing.

Upon hearing that, Re Ba felt even more embarrassed, fidgeted for a moment, then softly said, "Mi Jie, please stop teasing me; we... just chat casually, sometimes joking, sometimes sharing daily bits, which is quite fun."

"Yo yo yo, look at that little red face, like a ripe apple~"

Yang Mi, seeing this, grew even more amused, deliberately drawing out her tone to tease Re Ba.

The two went back and forth like that, starting to play around.

Well, the crew is filming.

It's quite boring.
