Hearing this, all the staff on the scene trembled and looked in the direction of the voice.

Gao Mo slammed the script in his hand on the table, and his face was livid.

He pointed at the people who were whispering to each other. "Have you packed up the props? Have you set up the next scene? Are you very free?"

As soon as he shouted, those people immediately fell silent and lowered their heads.

Lu Yi who was still talking to the staff on the set also looked over.

Gao Mo looked grim.

"If I hear you gossip again, just pack up and get out of here," he growled angrily, freezing the air on the set.

"Why are you still in a daze?" Seeing that those people were still in a daze and did not respond, he roared again.

Everyone immediately dispersed, burying their heads in their own work.

Gao Mo turned around and looked at Gu Moning, who was sitting with Qin An. His expression was still extremely ugly.

"Please come with me, Moning." He lowered his voice and walked to the side with a cold face.

"Sister." Qin An stood up and looked at Gu Moning. He wanted to say something but stopped on the second thought.

Gu Moning put down the script, gave him a reassuring look, and followed Mr. Gao.

Looking at her disappearing figure, Lu Yi took out his mobile phone, walked aside, and sent her a message.

[Are you all right?]

There was no reply from the other side. Lu Yi frowned, put his mobile phone into his pocket, and walked back to the crowd.

As soon as they left, the crowd burst into an uproar again.

"What do you think Mr. Gao will talk to her?"

"Who knows!"

"Mr. Gao is such a principled person. Will he let her pack up and leave when he sees those things on the Internet?"

"I'm not sure, but I think Mr. Gao admires her very much. On the first day of filming, in the first scene of the show, Mr. Gao praised her."

"Stop talking. Didn't you hear that? If anyone hears us gossip again, we have to pack up and leave."

"What's there to be afraid of? They've already gone. Let's not talk about it before they come back."

Qin An couldn't stand it anymore. He rolled up his sleeves and said, "You guys..."

Just as he was about to rush forward, someone grabbed his arm tightly.

He turned his head and saw his assistant shaking her head and blinking at him.

"Brother, don't be impulsive." The assistant grabbed his arm and pulled him to the side. She comforted him in a low voice, "They didn't say anything."

Although they didn't say anything, Qin An was still angry. He glared at the group of people who were watching the fun, and then shook his arm to break free from the assistant's hand.

"I believe in Moning. She is definitely not the kind of person that people say on the Internet." He said seriously and firmly.

"Yes, yes, yes." The assistant nodded repeatedly. "I also believe that Miss Gu is definitely not that kind of person."

Whether it was true or not, right or wrong.

Anyway, she had to appease the man first. If Qin An was impulsive and caused trouble.

She would have to bear the consequences.

Gu Moning followed Mr. Gao out of the set.

She glanced at the message and replied: [Don't worry.]

Then she put the phone back.

Her phone vibrated again in her pocket. It should be Lu Yi who had replied to her. She didn't read it at the time.

Mr. Gao stopped in front of her, turned sideways, and stared at her without saying a word.

Gu Moning felt inexplicably flustered by his stare, so she decided to strike first.

"Mr. Gao, are you looking for me because of what happened on the Internet?"

Mr. Gao pursed his lips and remained silent.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Gu Moning thought to herself, "That must be it."

So, she continued, "As for the things online, I can..."

Before she could explain, Gao Mo raised his hand and interrupted her.

"You don't have to tell me anything else. It's just a small matter in the circle. Those marketing accounts are flipping it over."

His tone was light, as if he was talking about something very normal.

"Mr. Gao..." Gu Moning wanted to explain.

Just as she was about to speak, he raised his hand to stop her. "I only want to ask you a question."

"Please."

"Is it true or not?" It was just simple words.

"Oh?"

This question caught Gu Moning off guard. After a moment of shock, she finally understood what he was asking.

She straightened her back. "It's fake."

Her tone was firm and decisive without the slightest hesitation.

Mr. Gao raised his eyebrows.

The answer was within his expectations.

He didn't want her answer. He just wanted to confirm it.

Know yourself, know your enemy, and win every battle.

After he set her as the protagonist, he simply learned about this girl. She had made her debut for five years, but there was almost no negative news about her. She didn't fight for anything.

If it weren't for this, not to mention how good her acting skills were, she would have been famous long ago only because of her good-looking.

Therefore, he admired her very much.

He didn't believe what had happened on the Internet.

Since he had obtained the answer, he would no longer...

"All right." He waved his hand impatiently. "I'll give you half a day off. Go back and have a good rest. Don't be late tomorrow."

After that, he turned around and left.

—

After returning to the hotel from the set, Gu Moning went straight to the bathroom to take a shower.

After taking a shower, she lay comfortably on the bed and replied to Lu Yi.

Just as she was about to log out of WeChat to have a look at Weibo, she received a call from him.

"Hello."

Lu Yi listened to her soft and lazy voice. His heart felt itchy and numb as if it had been scratched by a kitten's paw.

He couldn't help but smile. "What did Mr. Gao talk to you?"

It was very quiet on his side. He must have deliberately avoided outsiders.

Gu Moning could clearly hear his breathing.

She didn't know if it was because of the hypnosis of his voice or the lack of oxygen in her brain after taking a shower, she felt a little sleepy.

She rubbed her eyes and turned over. "Nothing."

"Just ask me if what happened on the Internet is true."

Her voice was soft, with a hint of laziness in it.

It sounded particularly seductive.

She rubbed her temples and unconsciously yawned.

"Are you sleepy?" Lu Yi couldn't help asking in a soft voice.

"A little," she replied in a daze.

"Then have a sleep."

"Okay," she replied again.

She closed her eyes and fell asleep.

He was not in a hurry to hang up and listened quietly.

After a while, Lu Yi heard even breathing coming from the other end of the phone. He became happy. The smile in his eyes spread out, and the corners of his mouth became deeper and deeper.

"Mr. Lu, get ready to shoot." The voice of a staff member came from behind.

Lu Yi subconsciously covered the receiver.

Before he hung up the phone, he was afraid of waking her up.

He turned around and nodded at the staff, indicating that he knew it.

The girl on the other end of the phone seemed to have heard the noise just now, but fortunately, she didn't wake up and just groaned softly.

She was like a cute kitten.

The smile on his lips became gentler.

He whispered into the receiver.

The sleeping girl seemed to have heard it, and the corners of her mouth curled into a faint smile.

After hanging up the phone, he looked at the photo on the phone screen, his eyes full of satisfaction and affection.

After calming himself down, he handed the phone to his assistant and strode into the set.

—

Gu Moning slept particularly soundly.

When she opened her eyes again, it was already dark outside.

The moonlight poured in through the window and sprinkled on her, covering her fair face with a layer of hazy pale golden light.

The moon tonight was very beautiful, and the stars were twinkling, as if a layer of silver gauze was covering the night sky. The stars were bright, beautiful, and mysterious.

The curtains were fluttering in the wind.

The whole room was quiet.

If it weren't for the sound of her stomach, she would have slept until the next morning.

Stretching out under the quilt, she fell to the edge of the bed and picked up the phone on the ground.

She felt as if she had lost something in her dream.

It turned out that he had really lost something.

She had lost her phone.

Gu Moning turned on the screen and looked at the time.

It was already past nine o'clock in the evening, and there were still a lot of unread messages.

But she didn't care about it now, because her stomach kept growling.

She was starving to death.

The most important thing at the moment was to eat enough food. The rest would be left aside.

She quickly got out of bed, washed up, and went out to look for food.

The old man always said that a spell of autumn rain, and a spell of cold, ten spells of autumn rain, people needed to wear cotton.

It had only rained a few times, but Gu Moning was so cold that she wanted to wear a down jacket, but she was afraid that others would look at her with strange eyes. After thinking about it, she gave up.

So she put on a dark blue hoodie, washed denim straight pants, and a pair of white sneakers.

She put on a hat of the same color as the hoodie, a mask, and wrapped her up tightly before going out.

It was late autumn in Tancheng City. The temperature at night was relatively low and there were very few pedestrians in the street.

When Gu Moning was washing up, she had already thought about what she wanted to eat.

On the first day she arrived here, she saw a shop selling river snails rice noodle near the hotel.

When she was in Jiangcheng City, she had eaten it once and was caught by Lu Yi. At that time, she packed it up and took it home to eat. As a result, Lu Yi, who had never come back, came back that night.

She didn't know why his nose was so smart. He could still smell her even though she had opened the window to breathe fresh air after eating.

Then he caught her and taught her a lesson. Gu Moning just listened to him and said nothing.

Later, he might have noticed that there was something wrong with her expression, so he began to coax her. He said that it was not that she was not allowed to eat it, but that the food outside was dirty and unhygienic. He said that her stomach was not good.

He had said all the good and bad things, and no one could find any fault with him.

From then on, Lu Yi did not allow her to eat this.

So when she came here and saw this shop, she was very urgent to have a taste of it.

After that, she hadn't found the right time to eat.

[I can go there today.]

It was not far from the hotel and she would arrive at the shop through the intersection after a while.

Gu Moning was going to walk directly. She didn't do exercises tonight, so she took it as exercise.

As she walked to the destination, she replied messages on WeChat App.

Khaleel sent her a few messages at about four o'clock in the afternoon, telling her about her recent schedule and some other things.

Finally, it was the progress of today's matter: [Now we're waiting for the result.]

Gu Moning: [Okay, let me know when you get the result.]

As soon as the message was sent, a reply came from the other side, [I heard that you were excluded on the set today?]

Gu Moning raised her eyebrows slightly and replied, [No, it's nothing.]

Suddenly, she thought of something and sent another message: [As for Le Yin, could you help me with that matter?]

Khaleel: [Don't worry, they're very grateful that you helped them this time. They'll keep it a secret for you. Also, your brother is very efficient!]

Gu Moning texted: [He's free.]
