Chapter 250: Visiting the Film Crew
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Gu Yin did not want to give up on Murong Chuan.
She knew very well that even if she didn’t like Murong Qiao, the two of them could move out of the Murong family in the future when their relationship was stable.
As long as she couldn’t see Murong Qiao’s face, it wouldn’t affect her life.
For the next few days, Gu Yin tried her best to appear by Murong Chuan’s side and show her presence.
“Professor Murong, I need you for a review later…”
“Professor Murong, a reporter came to interview you for your last academic paper…”
“The princ.i.p.al is looking for you, Chuan.”
There were countless reasons, and they were not even the same. Gu Yin could always use various excuses to appear in front of Murong Chuan.
She would also change the way she addressed Murong Chuan when in front of others and in private. Although she really wanted to shamelessly get Murong Chuan back together with her, she knew that this was not the best way.
However, Murong Chuan’s reaction was as cold as ever. No matter what reason or method Gu Yin used to look for him, he did not show any difference to Gu Yin.
Murong Qiao also returned to Hui University to continue her lessons. One time, she happened to have lunch with Murong Chuan.
“Big Brother, are you the only one eating today?” She looked around Murong Chuan and asked carefully.
After that day, Murong Qiao stopped paying attention to Murong Chuan. However, when she saw that Gu Yin wasn’t around, she couldn’t help but ask again.
Murong Chuan could naturally tell who Murong Qiao was asking.
His expression didn’t change. “Well, we’re separated.”
“I see…” Murong Qiao’s voice instantly fell.
The answer he got from Murong Chuan made Murong Qiao feel a little guilty. She thought that Gu Yin had broken up with Murong Chuan after that day as a result of her actions.
Murong Chuan keenly noticed the change in Murong Qiao’s thoughts. He smiled and stroked her hair.
“We separated because our ideals were incompatible. It has nothing to do with you,” Murong Chuan explained.
Gu Yin was already a pa.s.serby to him now. Murong Chuan’s expression did not change when he mentioned her name, and his heart did not waver at all.
Murong Chuan’s words carried an unquestionable tone and were very convincing.
Murong Qiao looked up at him and heaved a sigh of relief when she saw that Murong Chuan really didn’t seem to care.
Murong Chuan gave her the meat in his bowl. “Focus on eating.”
The fragrance of meat wafted into Murong Qiao’s nose. It was so fragrant that she was about to drool. Murong Qiao believed Murong Chuan’s words and immediately ate heartily.
However, Murong Chuan’s words were the exact opposite of what he was thinking.
In fact, he was unhappy with Gu Yin because of what happened at the Murong family that day, which was why he wanted to separate from her.
However, Murong Qiao didn’t have to hear any of this. As long as she was happy, there would be nothing more important than anything else in Murong Chuan’s eyes.
Murong Chuan ate his food as usual. No one could guess what he was thinking.
“Then, Big Brother, I’ll leave first!” Murong Qiao waved goodbye to Murong Chuan.
After lunch, Murong Qiao thought that since she didn’t have any cla.s.ses in the afternoon, she planned to visit the production team of Wulin Universe. Since Murong Chuan had something to do, they parted ways at the entrance of the canteen.
Murong Chuan nodded and reminded her, “Be careful when you go out. Remember to call me if anything happens.”
The previous lesson made Murong Chuan pay more attention to his Little Sister. He would always habitually remind her to pay attention to something. Usually, he would also make time to care about Murong Qiao so that she wouldn’t have to shoulder responsibilities on her own.
It was a good thing that Little Sister could solve problems herself, but as a Big Brother, he could not do nothing.
“I know, I know,” Murong Qiao replied with a smile. Then, she turned around and walked towards the entrance of University Hui.
It had been a while since Wulin Universe started filming, but Murong Qiao had never visited the site.
She naturally trusted Director Yu Xiao’s business ability, but many of the actors in this film were newbies. It was not a bad thing to go and take a look.
Therefore, she took a taxi in front of the school gate and it didn’t take long for her to reach the production team.
The set she chose this time was set in the ancient times. When Murong Qiao arrived, they were in the midst of filming an inn scene. As soon as she entered, she saw a few actors confronting each other in the simple and bleak inn. The atmosphere was so tense that it could explode at any moment and the smell of gunpowder filled the air, as if it would be mixed with the smell of blood in the next second.
“Qiao! Here!” An Nuo called her softly.
As soon as Murong Qiao entered, An Nuo saw her. She waved at her excitedly with her eyes wide open, but she still had to lower her voice to avoid disturbing the person acting in the middle of the venue.
Hearing An Nuo’s voice, Murong Qiao looked in the direction of the source and saw An Nuo standing at the edge of the venue in the style of a female knight. She looked very energetic.
She walked over and placed the Starbucks she had bought on the way into An Nuo’s hands. “I brought it for you.”
It was rare for Murong Qiao to come to the set. An Nuo then took the gift from her happily. Seeing that it was an ice-cold Americano, a trace of warmth flowed in her heart.
“You’re the most considerate.” An Nuo smiled sweetly and couldn’t help but hug Murong Qiao and kiss her hard.
For the past two days, she had to maintain her figure in order to film. It was just right for her to drink iced Americano.
Murong Qiao smiled. “How does it feel to be filming for the first time?”
In order to appear graceful and clean, An Nuo was not wearing a down jacket like the others. She was dressed so thinly that even Murong Qiao felt cold for her.
Although she had done enough training, this was also An Nuo’s first time acting so formally. Thus, she did not know how she was adapting.
An Nuo took a sip of the iced Americano and patted her chest confidently. “I’m super strong, okay?”
An Nuo raised her chin and looked a little smug. In Murong Qiao’s eyes, she seemed to have become a happy kitten, and the tail she wagged behind her seemed to be able to shake the sky.
Seeing that her expression had softened, Murong Qiao was relieved.
The two of them stood at the side and chatted. Soon, a staff member told Yu Xiao that Murong Qiao was here and led her over.
“The people in my company have caused you a lot of trouble, right?” Murong Qiao teased.
Yu Xiao had just finished filming this scene as she walked over with light footsteps and a smile on her face. She seemed to be in a good mood.
She waved her hand. “Not at all. The actors are quite good. They’re also obedient.”
These words were not flattering, but Yu Xiao really felt that way.
Although it was very risky for a highly-antic.i.p.ated project like Wulin Universe to have too many new actors, Yu Xiao was very satisfied with An Nuo and the other actors recruited from Murong Qiao’s company.
“Acting skills can only be honed through experience. As long as you know how to act with your soul, everything else is fine.” Yu Xiao said.
As a director, she valued soulful acting the most, and Murong Qiao’s artists happened to satisfy this. It could be said that this filming process was one of the few comfortable jobs for Yu Xiao.
Murong Qiao smiled at her answer. “That’s good.”
“I got someone to buy some food and left it at the door. If you’re not busy now, we can distribute it to everyone. It’s also good to take a break now.” She asked Yu Xiao for her opinion.
Apart from giving An Nuo a portion that she had brought on purpose, Murong Qiao naturally would not leave anyone else in the production team behind.
Coincidentally, Yu Xiao was a little hungry at this moment, so she naturally nodded and agreed. This caused her impression of Murong Qiao to deepen positively again.
It was rare to see such a good investor like Murong Qiao. Yu Xiao wished that all her future filming would be done by a good boss like Murong Qiao. That way, she wouldn’t have to worry about not being able to produce good works..
