Chapter 92

The one pressing the doorbell was Ji Jie, "Mr. Ruan is in the prop room." He Le said after entering the elevator. Since someone had finally come to save her stomach, she would be a fool to go back.

Who knew Ji Jie wouldn't give her a chance to escape Ruan Lin's clutches, and with a livid face, shoved a phone that was currently recording into her hand.

"Come here."

What was going on? He Le suspiciously held the phone and followed Ji Jie back to the prop room.

Ji Jie looked at Ruan Lin on the sofa, his expression changing several times, and finally turned his head to order He Le behind him:

"Record!"

"Ah? Oh!" He Le hurriedly raised the phone toward him.

Ji Jie stared fixedly at Ruan Lin, then took a deep breath, leaned down, and kissed his lips!

He Le gasped, and it wasn't until Ji Jie took the phone and called her from outside to open the elevator door that she reacted. She glanced at Ruan Lin, who was in a petrified state, and then walked out.

"You—" He Le couldn't help but want to ask. She naturally didn't believe Ji Jie had been secretly in love with Ruan Lin for a long time and kissed him because of that.

"Don't worry about it for now, open the door, we're in a hurry." Ji Jie urged.

"..."

When the elevator door opened, Rong Qingya actually walked in holding a phone too, "Sister Lele, you have to help me!"

"Uh..." She probably guessed what was going on, "Dare?"

While Rong Qingya was nodding wildly, Ji Jie had already pressed the elevator and left.

"The punishment I drew was to take a picture of Ruan Lin's underwear within five minutes and go downstairs, otherwise I have to do a striptease! Sister Lele, only you can help me!" Rong Qingya looked at He Le pitifully, her cute appearance making He Le's heart soften. After thinking for a moment, she set the elevator's outer door to stay open, then took Rong Qingya into the prop room.

"What are you doing?" Hearing that they wanted him to take off his pants for Rong Qingya to take a picture, Ruan Lin, who had just recovered, wished he could strangle He Le.

"Please! One picture! Just one! It won't show your face!" Rong Qingya watched the time slipping away, almost crying.

"Just pretend you're shooting an underwear commercial," He Le whispered.

"..." Did she know how much his endorsement fee was? Ruan Lin glared at Rong Qingya, "I don't care what you're playing at, don't even think about it."

"Sister Lele..."

"Ruan Lin, there's a bat on the ceiling, right?" As soon as Ruan Lin looked up, He Le, with lightning speed, lifted Ruan Lin's shirt, unbuckled his belt, and then with a small hand, gave a tug, exposing a corner of his blue-black patterned underwear below his mermaid line.

"Ah! Got it! Run, Sister Lele!" Rong Qingya grabbed the phone and dashed out.

Run? Of course she wanted to run!

"Where, do, you, want, to, run?" Ruan Lin gritted his teeth, grabbed He Le by the collar, and pulled her back in front of him, "How come I've never seen you take off my clothes so decisively before? Hm?"

"Uh... I, that, ah! Mr. Mu hasn't taken his medicine today! I have to go—mm..."

Her lips were being roughly sucked and gnawed by the man, as if he wanted to eat her alive. He Le understood... she was in big trouble this time!

Thump thump thump!

The door of the prop room was knocked on. The third floor, which was usually deserted, had welcomed its third guest in just ten minutes.

"Sorry to bother you, Lele, you have a phone call in the living room." Mu Wei, in his wheelchair, smiled elegantly.

"...Mu Wei, do you believe I'll break your other hands and feet too!" Ruan Lin roared like a lion! Were they conspiring to prank him today?

"Of course..." Mu Wei smiled at Ruan Lin with great poise, "I don't." Then he looked back at the embarrassed He Le, "It's Miss Ren."

As soon as He Le heard this, although she was still suspicious, she insisted on pushing Ruan Lin away and left the room with Mu Wei to enter the elevator.

"Really?" As soon as she entered the elevator, He Le asked.

Mu Wei smiled, "What I drew was to bring you downstairs within three minutes."

"You guys... are too bad..." Looking at Mu Wei, whose eyes were full of smiles, He Le couldn't stop the malicious joy in her heart and laughed happily.

However, compared to the others, her laughter was far too short-lived. A few minutes later, Ruan Lin went downstairs aggressively. As soon as Rong Qingfeng, Mu Wei, and the others saw Ruan Lin, they laughed, "Look! A bat!" "Do you like blue-black?" Ruan Lin was so angry he almost flipped the dining table. In the end, all his frustration naturally... was vented on her.

Early morning, when she was woken up by the cold again, her body reflexively clung to the hot presence beside her.

"Cold?" The man's hoarse, magnetic voice rang in her ear.

"Mm."

"Want to warm up?"

"Mm... Ah! No! Don't..."

Was there anything more miserable than being buggered first thing in the morning?

Yes, there was: being buggered first thing in the morning after being toyed with all night long...

August 23rd, the first day of Virgo.

Because she was really exhausted by Ruan Lin's tossing, plus her recent irregular diet, He Le—overslept for the first time. When she went downstairs, she found everyone in the apartment eating breakfast, and the one cooking was—Ruan Lin, the Best Actor.

It was said that because Ruan Lin had previously played a single detective with superb culinary skills, to get closer to the character, Ruan Lin had specifically taken a three-week short-term training course. His knife skills were first-class and his posture was beautiful, but the things he made were... ahem, but it was enough to make do for a simple breakfast.

"Ruan Lin, are you sure you're not taking revenge on us?" Ji Jie looked at the sandwich on the plate, making a bold assumption and careful verification.

"Eat it or don't, get lost if you don't!" Ruan Lin really wanted to stew them all in one pot! As soon as he entered the elevator this morning, he saw the elevator covered with photos of Ji Jie kissing him yesterday and his own wardrobe malfunction photos! To make matters worse, the photos were arranged to spell out "Happy Birthday," leaving him with anger he couldn't vent, lest he be laughed at for being a sore loser...

However, considering that last night was still very "happy," he would temporarily keep a tab on it. He would have a chance to pay it back sooner or later, humph... Provoking him? Looking for abuse!

After breakfast, Shentu Mo induced He Le to agree to this unexpected part-time job with the condition of "one week of assistant work for one week of paid vacation." Mu Wei temporarily moved into the Zongshi Hospital, saying that a bone specialist had just been introduced who could help Mu Wei take a look. After all, Mu Wei wasn't someone just anyone could replace in the industry. His rest made many stars, magazines, designers, etc., who were waiting in line for his big films, dumbfounded. They were so anxious every day they wished they could chop off their own hands and feet to install on him, and the phone calls urging Zhai Feiyun were giving him a headache.

Ruan Lin planned to return to the set on August 25th, and the Rong sisters were returning to their country on the 26th, so Ji Jie found someone to cut in line and grabbed a recording studio to record on the 24th. Watching everyone arranging their time with phones and notebooks, He Le discovered for the first time that she was quite popular...

The recording on the 24th was unexpectedly smooth. The recording engineer was a thin, small man with a mustache, about thirty years old. He was very attentive to Rong Qingya, kept praising Qingya for being cute, and to her, he only said two words—"Mm, not bad." Buy two get one free.

She actually wasn't sure how she sang compared to others; the only thing she could do was try her best. She was very grateful for such an opportunity to sing. Thinking that her singing voice had a chance to be heard by many people, that feeling... was very happy.

Early on the morning of August 25th, she carried her notebook and a few changes of clothes and got into Ruan Lin's nanny van along with him. Also accompanying them was the manager, Mr. Wu Ming, whom she had met last time.

"Good morning, Miss He! Everything you need to do is in this notebook, you can just follow the schedule. If there are any changes on the crew's side, someone will notify you specifically."

"...Okay."

"Then, it's too much trouble for Miss He, thank you for your hard work, Miss He. Ruan Lin... I'll leave him to your temporary care."

☆, (13 Fresh Coins) Chapter 104: First Day on Set

After putting their luggage and supplies in the hotel, He Le followed Ruan Lin and Wu Ming to the set. After Ruan Lin encountered a bottleneck and took a temporary rest, the crew adjusted the shooting plan to focus on filming other actors' scenes first. But the other actors also had their own work arrangements, and it was difficult to coordinate the time. So during this period, the crew often filmed whenever they could catch someone, and let them go when they couldn't. The mood of the crew had reached a terrible point. Fortunately, Ruan Lin had a good reputation in the circle and was usually very approachable and caring toward the cast and crew, so this disturbance didn't reach the media and the public.

"I'm sorry, Director, for causing trouble for you and everyone."

The self-reproach on Ruan Lin's brow made it really hard for anyone to blame him for anything else. The director and several crew heads only said a few things like "It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back" and considered the matter temporarily resolved.

He Le had never seen anyone filming before, so she couldn't see the tricks of the trade, but as an outsider, she thought the first day of filming was quite good. Because it was often one take, and she didn't see many NGs, and when a scene was filmed repeatedly, it was basically the director trying different techniques.

But... she didn't know if it was an illusion, but she always felt the atmosphere of the crew was a bit strange. People often looked at Ruan Lin's figure and then whispered to the people around them, but the expression clearly wasn't one of being a fan. He Le didn't consider herself a person with strong curiosity, but as if by magic, after seeing two women who had just "whispered" walk toward the restroom, she took a detour and entered the restroom first.

"Aunt Flo is here, so annoying, I have to keep running to the restroom."

"If Aunt Flo didn't come, you'd be even more annoyed; you'd have to run to the hospital."

"Pfft! You broken crow's mouth, can you say something nice? My stomach is already uncomfortable enough. Huh, this lip gloss of yours... looks a bit like Xiao Sha's!"

"Cut! I bought mine first, okay!"

"Alright, alright, I know you have good taste... Heh, I really want to see what expression Xiao Sha will have when she returns to the set tomorrow and sees Ruan Lin! Hahahaha!"

"If you ask me, she deserves it! She's just lucky; she hugged a famous director's thigh as soon as she debuted, directly becoming an 'international movie star,' and after winning a few small film festival Best Actress awards, she had her nose in the air. Now she's hit a wall, right? She thinks she's really charming and can kill everyone regardless of age? Ruan Lin doesn't have the slightest bit of sexual desire for her! It kills me laughing. Originally, the bed scene was cleared, and no one knew what happened, but she roared in the dressing room herself, roaring until the whole world knew! Haha! If it were me, I'd definitely just kill myself."

"Exactly! If it weren't for Producer Shentu giving the order to forbid spreading it, I'd want to leak the news to see how Xiao Sha will show off in the future! Look at that slutty energy she has in front of the director and producer; to make Ruan Lin say that kind of thing so unceremoniously, that woman must have done something to Ruan Lin in private!"

"Mm! I guess so too! Hey, you say if Ruan Lin really can't film with her, you say... is it possible to change the female lead?"

"Forget it! At most, they'll change the script. You're not unaware of Xiao Sha's background; she not only has a father who is a Muse veteran, but also a godfather who is a big shot in politics! They'd change Ruan Lin's male lead before they'd move her female lead! Alright, alright, let's go! Different people, different fates, let's just slowly endure it."
