She stared blankly at Souya.
For a few seconds, I couldn't even control my expression.
Jiang Chuyi immediately clenched the fork in her hand, and the spicy feeling spreading from her throat went straight to her internal organs.
Jiang Chuyi drank some water to cover up the problem. After a long while, she pretended to speak casually, "Actually, I recognized you."
The table was too noisy and her voice was so soft that Zong didn't hear clearly. He lowered his head and asked, "Hmm? What?"
Jiang Chuyi raised her voice a little: "I said, I recognized you from the beginning."
He laughed softly, and said in a gentle tone, "Then why are you pretending not to know me?"
Jiang Chuyi choked.
He is so direct.
Why else? Of course, it was to show that she was sensible and would forget the time she caught him having an affair.
Jiang Chuyi racked her brains to think of how to end this topic decently.
“Is the phone fixed?”
She immediately said, "It's fixed."
Zongye nodded, as if thinking for a while, and asked, "Can you give me a contact method?"
"You two stop for a moment."
The conversation was interrupted and Jiang Chuyi turned her head.
The person shouting was the second mate who was in charge of the filming this time.
After three rounds of drinks, the assistant director's face flushed and he jokingly asked, "Why are you so close to me? What are you whispering about?"
Zongye bent his elbows and rested his head on the edge of the table, pretending to listen. From another angle, his body was slightly tilted towards her, and the two of them were close together, with a very close posture.
Ji Kai had just been teased for a long time, and now he finally found an excuse, so he immediately shifted the focus of the fight, mocking: "Zong Ye, you seem to be quite engaged in the conversation, and you didn't even hear the deputy director calling your name twice."
Everyone laughed, and he didn't seem to mind being teased, asking, "Sorry, what were you talking about?"
Xin He glanced at Jiang Chuyi. There was no expression on her beautiful face. Her red lips curled slightly. "I didn't say anything. You guys continue chatting."
Finally, the dinner was over and the director was drunk and was carried back to his room. Jiang Chuyi sat down and rubbed his stomach.
I was thinking about something else just now and accidentally ate too much. Now I feel a little bloated...
She caught a glimpse of the person next to her standing up, so she stood up and made room for him to leave.
Suddenly, Jiang Chuyi called him, "Hey, wait."
Zongye met her eyes, "Are you calling me?"
"Um."
Wang Tan was standing nearby, his eyes were subtle, he glanced at them, "What's going on? Do you need me to avoid suspicion?"
"No-"
Before she could even utter the word "use", Zong said, "Wait a moment."
Wang Tan chuckled, his tone meaningful, "Why should I wait for you? I'm leaving first. How dare I disturb you?"
Looking at Wang Tan's departing back, Jiang Chuyi forced a smile, "It's nothing serious, otherwise you and your friend should go first."
"He likes to joke around, you don't have to take it seriously."
Jiang Chuyi raised her phone and said calmly, "Do you want to add WeChat? I'll add you."
Zongye looked a little stunned.
Seeing his reaction, Jiang Chuyi suddenly felt a little confused.
Wasn't he the one who took the initiative to ask for his contact information just now? Could I have misunderstood
She said: "Inconvenient?"
"no."
Zongye groaned, "My phone is out of battery, can I search directly?"
"Okay, go ahead."
He read out the numbers to her one by one.
Zongye fixed his eyes on her fingers tapping the keyboard, and then gradually moved his gaze upwards. The screen emitted a faint fluorescent light, illuminating the outline of her face. She was so focused while typing that even her eyelashes were clearly visible.
After a while, Jiang Chuyi finished typing the friend request. She put away her phone and pointed to the side, "Then I'll leave first?"
"good."

Jiang Chuyi counted her steps and walked around outside to help digest her food. She returned to her hotel room and put her phone on the bathtub to play music while taking a shower.
When one song is finished, it will automatically jump to the next one.
Creep
Hearing that familiar, low and sad female voice, Jiang Chuyi came back to her senses and thought of Zong Ye again.
Standing under the shower head, closing her eyes and letting the water flow down, she sighed.
Coming out of the bathroom, she wiped herself clean, changed into pajamas, and climbed into bed feeling a little tired.
My best friend called me from across the ocean.
After chatting for a while, Chen Yi suddenly asked: "What happened? You sound so bored."
Jiang Chuyi yawned, "I'm just a little sleepy."
"Really?" Chen Yi was suspicious. "Is there really nothing wrong?"
Jiang Chuyi's thoughts drifted away, and she said without thinking, "Xiao Yi, do you know Zong Ye?"
"Ah?" There was silence on the other end of the phone for a few seconds, and Chen Yi's tone sounded speechless. "Have I not been online in the past few years? Excuse me, how could I not know him?! What happened to him?"
"Nothing, I just asked."
Chen Yi urged: "There must be something wrong, tell me quickly."
"It's nothing, he just asked me to add him on WeChat today. Oh, that's not right." Jiang Chuyi corrected, "I should have asked him to add me on WeChat."
"Damn, you've made it. You're so motivated now?" Chen Yi was quite shocked. "Have you added it?"
"Yes."
Chen Yi said something shocking: "He wouldn't be interested in you!"
Jiang Chuyi fell on the bed and said weakly: "Don't joke with me."
"Who is kidding you?" Chen Yi asked gossipingly, "Do you think it's so easy to add Zong Ye on WeChat? You know Ah Jie, the Taiwanese girl who is so coquettish. Didn't Xi Bao participate in the Mango TV Mid-Autumn Festival Gala? She asked for Zong Ye's phone number backstage, but was rejected."
"You misunderstood. I added him on WeChat to resolve something."
Chen Yi: "You are such a big shot, I still have something to resolve with Zong Ye."
Jiang Chuyi was choked, but she didn't seem to have anything to refute, so she could only say, "You are so mean."
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Chuyi crawled into bed and played with her phone for a while. Then she remembered something and returned to the WeChat list, and found a new window at the top.
Click in.
[Sep-2009: I have approved your friend verification request, now we can start chatting]
Jiang Chuyi: "Hello, Teacher Zong [Rose]"
Zongye: "You can just call me Zong."
She thought about it carefully, edited it several times, and carefully typed out a short essay: "It's not convenient to talk at the dinner just now, so I still need to explain some things to you. I pretended not to know you at the time, so there may be some misunderstandings. After all, the first time we met was quite unpleasant [covering face], I hope you don't mind."
Souya: "What misunderstanding?"
Jiang Chuyi: "Uh, it's nothing. I won't say anything anyway, so don't worry [shake hands]."
After waiting for two minutes without any response, she was just about to turn off her phone and go to sleep when she received a reply from the other party.
Souya: "You may still have a misunderstanding."
Jiang Chuyi stared at the message he sent, not knowing how to respond for a moment. She thought for a long time and picked a standard emoticon package to send over.
The dialog box kept displaying "The other party is typing..." and then paused for a while.
Souya: "Rest early, we'll talk next time."
Jiang Chuyi: "You too."
End of chat.

The next day was the shooting of the movie's final photos.
Since she was only a supporting role with limited screen time, she only had to take group photos with Fushigi and Souya.
Jiang Chuyi finished her makeup and hair and was taken to the shooting location, which was on a semi-arc terrace on the third floor.
When she arrived, Zong Ye was talking to a woman and the two seemed to be very familiar with each other.
The staff member introduced in a low voice that this woman was Feng Tao, who was in charge of their photo shoot today. She was a senior staff member of IM and the official photographer of Xibao, and had been with them for several years. She was very interesting and not arrogant.
Jiang Chuyi nodded to indicate that she understood.
Feng Tao wore a high-slit red Western dress, slender high heels and big wavy hair, and her every move was full of charm.
When she saw Jiang Chuyi arrive, she spread her arms and shouted, "Get the hair dryer and lighting board ready, let's get started!"
The shooting process went smoothly, and Fu Cheng and Zong Ye were directed to pose in a few positions. She sat on the railing of the terrace, and Fu Cheng stretched his arms and supported her side.
"Come on! Get ready!" Feng Tao took a few photos from different angles. "Fu Cheng lowered his head, Chu Yi raised his chin. No, the two of you look at each other. Come on, one, two, three, go—"
Jiang Chuyi followed the instructions and looked up at him slightly.
After a while, Feng Tao bent down and browsed the photos he had just taken in front of the computer. His brows frowned and then relaxed, and he said to them again: "Fu Cheng, you have to be more vulgar. Don't look at women so innocently."
When such irrelevant words were spoken, everyone else started laughing.
Feng Tao sighed and picked up the intercom: "The atmosphere between you two is not good. Chuyi, when you look back, don't look too direct. Be shy and blurred."
Jiang Chuyi was also called and quickly said "oh".
It took a while to get into the role, not to mention that she had no experience in shooting magazines and still photos. Her eyes were shy and confused with love... If it was a dynamic one, it would be fine, but for static ones, she had not received professional training.
Although I have filmed many films before, because I was young, the emotional lines can basically be ignored.
Jiang Chuyi felt a little embarrassed when she met Fu Cheng's cold and hard eyes.
After adjusting for a long time and trying a few more photos, Feng Tao flipped through the sample photos she had just taken and felt that they were not quite right. The assistant suggested: "Why don't we ask a makeup artist to put some blush on Teacher Jiang?"
"Need not."
Feng Tao walked forward and said softly, "Baby, can we chat?"
Unexpectedly, it was directed at her. Jiang Chuyi said with guilt: "Sorry, let me find my state again."
"It's okay, don't be nervous, let's take a break." Feng Tao looked at her, "You have strong self-control. You are not tempted by handsome guys."
After saying that, he looked at Fu Cheng again. He was leaning on one side with his arms folded. Feng Tao sighed.
Well, you can't blame the girl. She always has a stinky face. Who can feel anything when seeing her
Feng Tao looked at Jiang Chuyi's fair and tender face, thinking: "How can I make your heart beat faster?"
Jiang Chuyi seriously suggested: "How about I go run a couple of laps?"
"No need to go through so much trouble." Feng Tao touched his chin, "Ten seconds, I'll make you blush."
Jiang Chuyi was skeptical: "Ten seconds?"
"Let's change someone." Feng Tao pointed at Zong Ye who was drinking water, "What do you think of him?"
Jiang Chuyi: “…”
"He has a trick that can definitely make a girl blush within ten seconds. It works every time and never fails."
Zong Ye screwed the cap of the mineral water bottle on and seemed to have something to say, but was interrupted by Feng Tao. She squinted her eyes and warned lightly, "Hey, this is work, you should be more dedicated."
Seeing the two of them playing charades, Jiang Chuyi tilted his head and asked Feng Tao, "Which trick is it?"
Feng Tao confirmed: "Do you really want to try it?"
Jiang Chuyi was confused: "Huh?"
Feng Tao shouted excitedly: "Zongye, take off your clothes!"
Suddenly, Jiang Chuyi suspected that he had tinnitus.
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Zongye looking at her.
Jiang Chuyi's words came to an abrupt end.
The two of them stared at each other, and for some reason she didn't say anything.
After waiting for a few seconds, he smiled, raised his hand and put it on the button of his shirt. At such a close distance, Jiang Chuyi watched him slowly unbutton one, two, three...
Zong didn't wear a tie, and his white shirt was neatly tucked into his black trousers, which tightened his thin waist, making him look abstinent and meticulous. But now, with the movement of his fingertips, from Adam's apple to collarbone and finally to chest, his collar gradually opened.
She stared intently, staring at the rouge mole on the side of his neck.
He stopped, turned around and asked Feng Tao: "Is it ok?"
The scene was unusually quiet.
Jiang Chuyi pursed her lips, her face still calm, but her mood was a little complicated.
Zong Ye is really good at this...
According to Gao Ning, this guy must have had more than 30 girlfriends, so he can't be so flirty.
This is more than just embarrassing, it's so embarrassing that even roadside ants would be shy when seeing it.
Feng Tao couldn't stop laughing and wiped her tears with her fingers, "Zongye, what's wrong with you? Is your charm not working? Why did you stop? We agreed on ten seconds. Do you think you are shy?"
Zong looked up calmly, and his eyes met hers again. His eyes were naturally attractive, with narrow and long eyelids and curled eyelashes, and he looked amorous to everyone he looked at. Especially in this disheveled look, he looked gentle and mean, so frivolous and foul.
Jiang Chuyi coughed lightly and looked away first. How could a nobody like her deserve to let Zong Ye perform such a restricted show in person
Zongye looked her over and said, "She looks fine."
Jiang Chuyi caught a glimpse of his Adam's apple moving slightly, as if he was laughing softly, and the ending tone was naturally charming.
He sighed, a little helpless, "But my face is about to turn red."
