…

The night after Hua Jin and Gao Nan had a conflict at the bar, the word quickly spread among the crew.

Following the incident, everyone seemed to look at Yun Shishi and the idol in an odd manner.

No wonder.

No matter how they looked at it, somehow, they felt that the man seemed a little too enthusiastic over the actress. His care for her was unprecedented, and many of them speculated that the two might be having a secret relationship.

The last time, they witnessed how protective he was over her. The idol even got into a fight with Gao Nan, injuring his face in the process.

Many were familiar with him. He was disdainful of fights because he hated the thought of hurting his face.

Once, while filming a costume drama, the staff responsible for the wire fu made a small mistake, but because of it, his face was cut by a tree branch and he even hit the roof; in the end, the entire wire fu team was booted out of the production.

The director and a few high-level executives dared not object.

If a man, who was so conscientious over his looks, went to the extent of damaging his face for the sake of a woman, what could this say about his feelings toward her?

This proved how important the actress was to the idol.

However, ever since that day when Yun Shishi flew into a fury and Gao Nan’s official girlfriend suddenly appeared, the rumor about the actress being a third party had become confusing at best; a lot of people were unsure what to think of it anymore.

The rumors continued, unabated, even after Hua Jin returned to the set.

One day, after shooting, he went back to his rest lounge. As his face was dappled with some ash, he went to the bathroom to wash it off. This was when he vaguely overheard two women talking from the bathroom.

“I have a growing feeling that there’s something between Yun Shishi and Hua Jin. Their relationship is very ambiguous.”

“Oh? Why did you say that?”

“During the shoot today, did you notice that, no matter what she’s doing, his gaze never left her? What’s even more surprising is that, whenever Yun Shishi finished her scene, Hua Jin would cosy up to her with a smile on his face. He looked like a man in love!”

“Are you sure? The two of them don’t seem compatible, do they? How can the two be a couple?”

“I really see something fishy between the two, though. Actually, I don’t quite believe it as well, but… I used to be a huge fan of Hua Jin; I saw him looking at Yun Shishi in the same way I used to stare at him.”

“How long have you been in this business? Wait a second… Don’t tell me that you joined this industry because of him?”

“Yes! I studied costume design in the past and even had the opportunity to study abroad, but because I was so crazy about him, I joined the crew without a second thought when his team put up a recruitment drive for costume designers. I’ve followed him since his second costume drama.”

“Don’t tell me that he’s in love with Yun Shishi? She’s a third party—a mistress, you know?! Didn’t Ji Yan say that the woman had taken the initiative to seduce Gao Nan in order to climb up in ranks? I didn’t expect her to be such a person in private when her public image is one of an innocent and clean maiden! Although she denied it at face value, I still find her hypocritical. She should just admit to what she did; why was there a need to deny it? Don’t tell me that the b*tch wants to set up her name-sake?”

“Shh! The walls have ears.”
