The clouds scattered, hiding the moon, but at that moment, Yun Xiang smiled. "To His Highness, of course."

This scene should have ended after Yun finished reading that line, but the entire place was silent for a while. No one shouted "Cut." Standing in front of the camera, the highly satisfied Liao Qing used her elbow to prod the director, who was still immersed in the scene. In a half-dazed state, the director picked up the microphone and said, "Cut, cut."

As soon as he finished shouting 'Cut,' the set burst into a round of applause. Only then did Bai Yun lower the pipa. Arms extremely sore from carrying the pipa everywhere, she almost lost her grip on the pipa. Fortunately, Chu Jiang supported her and helped her land the pipa steadily.

She chuckled and quickly got out of character. "Thank you, Mr. Chu."

When Liao Qing came in front of the camera, she couldn't help but frown when she heard the increasingly polite form of address. "Chu Jiang, don't bully Bai Yun. Why is she sounding more and more timid?"

Bai Yun wrapped herself in the thick down jacket Du Qing handed her to ward off the cold and quickly explained, "No, Teacher Liao, it's nothing to do with him. Mr. Chu is the Best Actor after all, and I'm just a newbie. He's a great senior, so it's not a loss for me to call him Mr. Chu."

Chu Jiang shrugged. His costume was extremely thick, so he didn't need to put on a down jacket. He just took the warm water from his assistant to moisten his throat. "Look, Teacher, this junior is too polite."

Liao Qing watched as the two of them echoed each other. "You two are really compatible."

Du Qing and Chu Jiang's assistant choked. 'You're the only one who can pull the red string1 in their presence, Teacher Liao Qing.'

Chu Jiang coughed lightly and choked on the water. His ears were red. Bai Yun didn't think much of it at first, but when she saw Chu Jiang's expression, she felt her face burning.

However, Liao Qing continued, "This is the first time I've seen an actress acting in a love scene with Chu Jiang without being stuck at all."

She recalled the scene just now. Yun Xiang looked up at Chu Yu, and Chu Yu's hands were clenched tightly in the dark. This pairing would definitely explode in popularity after the show broadcasted.

Bai Yun was a little embarrassed by the praise. "No, it's mainly because Mr. Chu is good at bringing me into the scene."

Chu Jiang took another sip of water to calm himself down, watching as Bai Yun pretended to be obedient and gentle to please an elder.

Chu Jiang did not speak. He only smiled and watched as they flattered each other. He was very curious as to what kind of person Bai Yun was.

From the moment he brought her out of the clubhouse, those details would always make one wonder if this Bai Yun was the same person as the previous Bai Yun.

He'd even gotten involved in a lot of things because of this curiosity. Ge Fei, Weibo.

That the hype of these two matters had not died down, a lot of credit went to him. Worried that it would snow heavily in the capital and she would not be able to reach the set in time, he had specially reminded the teacher. He could have postponed the stills photoshoot because he had an advertisement to shoot the next day, but he still filled up his schedule to accommodate this.

These emotions triggered by curiosity had begun to exceed curiosity, but he did not seem to reject it. He even wanted to see what kind of situation such emotions would lead to.

While acting docile, Bai Yun glanced at Chu Jiang.

She was extremely immersed in that scene. For a moment, she was like Yun Xiang, nearly tempted by Chu Yu, who had almost crossed the bridge to call out to her.

Bai Yun had faith in her own acting skills, but she did not know how this opponent that she thought was evenly matched felt. So, she asked him carefully, "Mr. Chu, how did I perform today?"

With the makeup still on her face, she looked like a fairy. But now, she was acting carefully, making her look like a child. Chu Jiang subconsciously smiled, feeling very gratified. "Not bad."

Bai Yun clicked her tongue. Only not bad? Shouldn't he be singing her praises?

Liao Qing smiled at the side. "Chu Jiang has high standards. He's never praised anyone for having 'not bad' acting skills." She patted Bai Yun's head. "It means that he has already acknowledged your acting skills. Bai Yun, your future is promising."

'Your future is promising,' Bai Yun pondered over these four words. That's right. Wasn't what she yearned for in this world a future?

They chatted happily, but Bai Yun touched her neck, for she kept feeling that someone was secretly staring at her. That gaze was like a shadow that had been following her since she entered this production team.

Was it a fan? She glanced around the set and shook her head. Or was she imagining things?
