Both of them quickly packed their luggages before they headed directly to the a.s.sembly point for the cast. Surprisingly, all the members from the amateur group were unable to partic.i.p.ate in the recording this time because of their personal affairs. Brother Zhuang would also be unable to partic.i.p.ate in the recording because he had to attend a meeting abroad.
It was no wonder that the production team had no choice but to drag the agents in to partic.i.p.ate in the recording as well.
“There were nine of us to begin with but right now, even if we include all our agents, we would only have eight partic.i.p.ants this time,” Jin Mingchen said as he counted the number of people present at the location.
“Don’t worry. There will be a total of ten partic.i.p.ants in the recording this time. We have another guest and agent who will be coming to join us shortly. Please take care of the guest because it was not easy for us to invite him to join us for this recording,” one of the production crew members announced over the loudspeaker. “All of you can sit down and rest first while we wait for our final two partic.i.p.ants to arrive.”
The eight partic.i.p.ants sat down before they started discussing the routine and plans of the production team.
“Since the other party has an agent, the other party is definitely a celebrity,” Xu Beishen said as she looked at Jiang Yuning.
“I am really not used to not having Tong Tong around this time,” Jiang Yuning lamented all of a sudden.
“I heard that Tong Tong is partic.i.p.ating in a compet.i.tion for geniuses. It would be amazing if he could win the compet.i.tion,” Xu Beishen started explaining the situation to Jiang Yuning. “See! It seems as though I care more about Tong Tong than you do.”
As Xu Beishen was chatting with Jiang Yuning, the final partic.i.p.ants of the program finally arrived at the location. Everyone craned their necks as they were all curious to find out which big shot would be joining them for the recording this time. At this time, they saw Xiao Chennan coming out of the car dressed in casual clothing and wearing a pair of sungla.s.ses. His agent followed quietly behind him as soon as he stepped out of the black car.
As soon as Jiang Yuning saw Xiao Chennan, she turned around to look at Vera’s expression immediately and she realized that Vera was already blus.h.i.+ng.
“It’s Xiao Chennan!”
“It’s the film emperor himself!”
“This is just too amazing! He is my idol!” Jin Mingchen exclaimed as he looked at Xiao Chennan with a look of antic.i.p.ation on his face.
Jiang Yuning lowered her head and she could not help but smile because Xiao Chennan had really outdone himself this time. Jiang Yuning guessed that must have been Xiao Chennan who proposed to the production team to include the celebrities’ agents in the recording this time. It was really the perfect opportunity for him to get closer to Vera.
“h.e.l.lo, everyone. I’m really happy to meet all of you. My name is Xiao Chennan.”
“Wow! I want to take a picture with the film emperor!”
“Me too. I want to take a picture with him too…”
Everyone was extremely excited and Vera was the only person who was acting really awkward at this time. She avoided eye contact with him and she could feel her palms getting extremely sweaty as her imagination started running wild.
Did this man come all the way here just because of her?
Was he the one who had spoken to the production team about including the agents in the recording this time?
Didn’t he say that he would be going to the shooting range today?
For a brief moment, Vera was extremely confused and her thoughts were all muddled. She could not comprehend what was happening at the moment and all she could do was to pretend to be extremely calm and composed although she was panicking inside.
This…was probably what it felt like to be in love.
Xiao Chennan stole a glance at Vera but he looked away almost immediately because he did not want to scare her away.
“Brother Nan, please take a seat with the rest of the partic.i.p.ants.” One of the production crew members quickly signalled for Xiao Chennan to join the other partic.i.p.ants.
Jiang Yuning could feel the ambiguous atmosphere between Vera and Xiao Chennan and at this time, she could only sigh. This was because Lu Jingzhi was not part of the entertainment circle, and he would never be able to join her in this manner.
“Okay, everyone should get ready to board the bus now. We are leaving soon. Please pa.s.s your luggage over to the production crew.”
After that, all of the guests gave their luggage to the production crew before they started boarding the bus one after another.
In order to avoid the embarra.s.sment of looking Xiao Chennan in the eyes, Vera quickly dragged Jiang Yuning all the way to the back of the bus.
“What are you doing?” Jiang Yuning asked with a puzzled expression on her face. “There are ten of us here today. If we sit all the way at the back of the bus, how are we supposed to talk with everyone else? You are acting really weird right now.”
“Yuning…you know what I am afraid of!”
Jiang Yuning smiled before she replied, “So, let’s just sit behind him, okay?”
Vera thought for a short moment before she finally nodded.
“Can you act more naturally? Do you want everyone to know about you and him?”
Vera was frightened by Jiang Yuning’s words and she quickly moved a few rows forward to sit directly behind Xiao Chennan.
Jiang Yuning was relieved to see that her method worked and she quickly sat right next to Vera.
“I am going to sleep. Please do not bother me.”
In order to avoid embarra.s.sment, Vera leaned against Jiang Yuning’s shoulder and closed her eyes. However, as she was in a state of confusion and perplexity, she could not calm herself down or fall asleep.
Jiang Yuning could tell that Vera was in a state of turmoil. Therefore, she whispered into Vera’s ear, “Where has my top agent gone to? Why did she become such a timid person? Moreover, the film emperor has not even done anything yet! You are overthinking everything.”
Vera thought for a long time and finally, she could not take it anymore. Therefore, she took out her cell phone and immediately sent a text message to Xiao Chennan.
As soon as she put down her cell phone, Xiao Chennan’s cell phone rang. When he picked up his cell phone, he saw a text message from Vera: “What do you mean by doing this?”
“Giving you a chance to…get to know me.”
Vera blushed immediately after reading Xiao Chennan’s reply.
“Who wants to get to know you?”
“Someone!”
After that, Xiao Chennan put his cell phone away before he closed his eyes to rest for a moment.
Vera felt a little overwhelmed but she had no choice but to follow the plan because she was already here. What else could she do?
When Jiang Yuning saw the interaction between Vera and Xiao Chennan, she could not help but send a text message to Lu Jingzhi to complain: “Second Brother, Vera is bullying me! She is making me jealous. I can only see you in a weeks’ time! What should I do?”
“Do you want me to visit you at your recording set?”
“No…I am just afraid that I will miss you too much.” Jiang Yuning replied because who could stand to be away from their loved ones for more than a week?
“Did you forget…what I said?”
“What did you say?”
“When it is time, I will naturally show up and look for you. I am busy now. Be good, okay?”
However, the location of the recordings had always been private and confidential. Even the partic.i.p.ants themselves did not know of the exact location where they would be recording the program.
As she thought about this fact, Jiang Yuning simply closed her eyes and decided to sleep instead.
This time, Vera looked at her suspiciously before asking, “Are you sleepy?”
“I am giving you an opportunity to talk to someone.”
After listening to Jiang Yuning’s words, Vera could not help but to push Jiang Yuning slightly. “Why are you still making fun of me?”
Whatever it was, the atmosphere throughout the entire bus ride was extremely awkward. It was only when Jin Mingchen switched places with Xiao Chennan’s agent and both of them started talking about their acting experiences that Vera finally felt relieved.
What was she really afraid of?
She did not know!
And she did not dare to ask!
About three hours later, the bus finally stopped in front of a five-star hotel.
“We are here at our destination. You can get off the bus now.”
Jin Mingchen was in awe when he saw the view as he looked out of the bus window. “Am I hallucinating right now? Would the production team really be so kind to put us up in a five-star hotel?”
“Alright then, you can stay in the bus by yourself. The rest of us are going down now,” Qi Mo replied as he laughed because he found Jin Mingchen’s response really amusing.
“No, Brother Qi. The production team must be up to no good! We have already recorded so many issues. Let’s not be fooled so easily.”
“Then, do you want to stay on the bus by yourself?” the production crew started rus.h.i.+ng Jin Mingchen using the loudspeaker.
“Can you really confirm and a.s.sure me that we will really be recording the next issue of in this five-star hotel?” Jin Mingchen asked as he looked at the production team with a serious expression on his face. “Can you swear on it?”
