Chapter 124 - Strike Up Conversation

The director scheduled an hour’s worth of filming for Mu Sheng before spending the rest of the time on the male and female leads.

After Mu Sheng was done filming her parts, Ruan Yingying’s talent agent came over and informed the director that she was unable to turn up for work, so the director continued filming Mu Sheng’s parts.

Mu Sheng and Qiao Siyu spent the rest of the day filming their parts. Since they did not have a lot of parts together and they got it right in one take, Mu Sheng finished most of her parts for the drama before she ended her day at work.

The sky turned dusky when it was almost time to knock off. It softened the atmosphere so much that it made Mu Sheng seem gentler.

She was still dressed in her costume. It was a school uniform and her sleeves were rolled up, slightly revealing her slender arms. Her eyes were slightly lowered and her eyelashes were long and curly. The moment Qiao Siyu caught sight of her, he was stirred by her beauty.

“That’s all! Thanks, everyone. We can call it a day. See you tomorrow!” shouted the director using the loudhailer. His shouting made Qiao Siyu snap out of his daze.

Qiao Siyu veered his eyes the moment Mu Sheng raised her head. “Good job, Miss Mu. If you have any questions about our parts, we can discuss it privately.”

It was the first time Qiao Siyu offered to discuss acting with his fellow actors privately and things usually worked the other way around. He wanted Mu Sheng’s contact number, but he could not bring himself to ask. He thought Mu Sheng would get the drift when he offered to discuss their parts.

Instead, Mu Sheng replied succinctly before she left, “Okay.”

Qiao Siyu stood where he was and did not know whether to cry or laugh. It was the first time a fellow actress left the moment they were done filming. Was Mu Sheng genuinely oblivious or was she playing hard to get?

Mu Sheng packed up and left the film location. However, Li Hanchen was not there when she came out.

Mu Sheng wanted to call Li Hanchen when a black MPV pulled up in front of her.

The car window opened to reveal Qiao Siyu. Even though he was wearing sunglasses, he was equally handsome. He smiled gently. “Miss Mu, let me give you a ride.”

Mu Sheng wanted to turn him down, but Qiao Siyu said, “The director told me some of our parts can be better. He told me to tell you about it. We can talk about it on the way home. Don’t worry. There are other people in the car as well.”

Mu Sheng agreed and got into the car.

Just as Qiao Siyu mentioned, there were other people in the car such as the chauffeur, make-up artist, and talent agent.

The talent agent looked at Qiao Siyu before looking at Mu Sheng and almost lost it.

What on earth was Qiao Siyu trying to do? Was he not afraid of getting in the news for picking up Mu Sheng?

Qiao Siyu calmly took out the script and started discussing it with Mu Sheng. Mu Sheng acknowledged him as she listened to him.

Qiao Siyu wanted to ask Mu Sheng for her phone number, so he used work as an excuse. However, the more they discussed the script, the more he realized how much insight Mu Sheng had about acting.

Time passed minute by minute until they arrived at the destination. Qiao Siyu was still wrapped in conversation, but Mu Sheng got off the car without hesitation. Qiao Siyu finally put down his airs and said to Mu Sheng, “Hang on.”

Mu Sheng halted. “Yes?”

Qiao Siyu got off the car and glanced at the villa behind Mu Sheng. “Is this where you live?”

“Uh huh.”

“I see. It looks like a nice peaceful area.” Considering how remote the place was, this was the only praise Qiao Siyu could come up with. He retrieved his phone and said mildly, “I know several productions that suit you.. Why don’t you give me your number so that I can send you the scripts? If you like the parts, you can audition for them.”
