Chapter 398: I Feel Sad but I’ll Remain Silent
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
In the eyes of others, Gu Xie had a cool personality and was like an unattainable flower. He never had any rumors, and everyone believed that Lin Xiaojuan was the one trying to pursue Gu Xie. Lin Xiaojuan’s face burned from shyness, and she was about to dodge their questioning.
Gu Xie said gentlemanly, “I’m the one who pursued her. Xiaojuan isn’t thick-skinned. Stop fooling around.”
These words sounded soft, but for some reason, there seemed to be a tinge of a threat hidden in it. Everyone kept their thoughts to themselves. Lin Xiaojuan’s ears turned really red. She tugged at his sleeve and said softly, “They’re just kidding. You don’t have to take it so seriously.”
“I do!” Gu Xie said calmly. “What’s more, it’s true.”
Lin Xiaojuan was speechless.
Gu Xie said, “Try it. Tell me if it’s too bland or thick. I’ll make it taste better for tomorrow.”
“Oh…” Lin Xiaojuan could not reject his offer, so she took a sip from it. She did not know what he used to brew the mixture either, but it was sour yet sweet and felt cooling. The drink slid past and soothed her throat. “It’s pretty nice. Feels good for my throat.”
“That’s great.”
“My cough will be over in two days. You still have to film, so don’t busy yourself with this.”
“I’ve seen you coughing for three days.” Gu Xie did not accept any objections. “I brought the medicine herbs along. I can brew them in the hotel, no biggie.”
“Thanks.” This man was so thoughtful. Her cough was not even serious, and she could have just been choking on some pollen. These days, she kept having dry coughs. It was not a form of illness, but it was really annoying. Gu Xie nodded lightly and touched her head suddenly.
Lin Xiaojuan felt her face turning hot, and she did not know what to do.
This loving behavior was too familiar!
She did this to Tong Hua at least six times every day!
“Gu Xie, come over for a group photo.” The director yelled. The crowd dispersed, and Gu Xie went over for the group photo. Lin Xiaojuan’s face was really warm. She wrapped her coat around her body quickly and took a sip of water to mask her anxiety. She could not help but peek at Gu Xie.
There were two male leads in this movie, and the other man was a Mr. Popular who was good at acting. He was two years younger than Gu Xie. As he stood beside him, it made Gu Xie look even more like a Mr. Popular who was only famous because he looked good.
Good-looking and having a sense of security.
Also… really kind!
Lin Xiaojuan had seen all sorts of people in the entertainment industry all these years. People who were highly admirable and the ones who could be stomped on. This was a place where name and reputation mattered most. No matter what type of personality they had, people would definitely change after hanging around in the industry after several years. Take Yan Jianming for example, when he first started, he was also a hardworking young lad.
There were too many temptations that molded people’s personality to differ much from how it was.
But no one had seen such a soft and kind Movie King.
Noon break.
Gu Xie and Tong Hua had their meals together. Seven to eight lunchboxes were all packed orderly, and they were the meals for the filming team. It was a considerably sumptuous meal. Lin Xiaojuan felt a little pitiful for Tong Hua as he had just recovered from his illness. “Tong Hua, from tomorrow onwards, I’ll bring a little induction cooker here, and we shall have hotpot okay? Takeaways are unhealthy.”
“Uhh…” Tong Hua scratched his head. Having hotpot alone was really boring. There would definitely be very few dishes and not be as sumptuous as the takeaway meal. He was thinking of rejecting her offer.
Gu Xie asked, “Am I invited?”
“Huh?” Lin Xiaojuan was shocked and hesitant for a moment. “Sure.”
Tong Hua looked at the soft, fresh, and delicious duck drumstick, and he almost cried. From tomorrow on, he would not be able to eat chicken and duck drumsticks. How sad. It would definitely be a hotpot with clear broth soup. He was stuck helplessly between the two lovebirds. He felt really sad, but he chose to remain silent.
