Chapter 101. Love and problems (1)

As time kept going, Ren got busier and busier. It was not only about the shooting but also the matter with Xiao Rin.

Due to Chief Han's words, Ren was thinking about Xiao Rin a lot and he had also been observing her during the shoots.

And he had to say, he had been thinking that the words Chief Han had said on that day were true.

It was because Xiao Rin's behavior had been abnormal these past few days. Ren had concluded that after his observation of her.

First of all, she had started to give more takes than before leaving even Director Fu in confusion.

Second, she had become silent suddenly. She does not talk much with anyone, would always be in a daze.

She had also started ignoring and avoiding Ren. Even when they are together, she will not talk much with him.

'She had become too quiet!'

Ren thought as he glanced at Xiao Rin who was sitting on his side. They were currently in the van going to the set.

As they were from the same company, they will usually go the set together.

Previously, Xiao Rin would always talk with him when they were on the way to the set but today, she was silent as if she was upset by something.

"Xiao Rin, are you okay? I think you are kind of upset these days."

Ren said as he felt the quiet atmosphere suffocating and Xiao Rin glance at him when she heard that and said.

"No, I am fine, Brother Ren. Why will I be upset? I am kind of excited because people are liking our drama."

'Her expression is blank!'

Ren thought when he saw her face. Previously, she would always have an excited face when they will talk but today, her expression was blank.

She had that kind of expression from the day she had heard about the kissing scene.

"I don't think you are excited. you looked worried about something."

"What will I be worried about?"

Xiao Rin said as she let out a small laugh but her blank face and laugh fell when she heard Ren's next words.

"I think you are worried about the kissing scene."

Xiao Rin's expression was a sight to see when she heard that but Ren was unable to see it as she quickly turned her head away, maybe to hide her expression.

"What are you talking about, Brother Ren? Why I will be worried about that?"

"If you are not worried then, why are you hiding your face?"

"I am hiding my face because my eyes have dark circles under them. I am not sleeping well for some days. I am looking ugly right now."

"I saw your face earlier and it was fine."

There was silence after that. Xiao Rin didn't say anything after that as she continued to hide her head.

Ren sighed when he saw that and thought to himself.

'Let's ask straightly!'

He was tired of just observing her and thinking about the issue himself.

Sometimes, it was better to just ask. That's why Ren said.

"Xiao Rin, do you not want me to do the kissing scene?"

"Yes, I don't want......No, no, why would I stop you from doing a kissing scene with Chen Mei? I think it will be a great ending to the drama."

Xiao Rin slipped there for a second but she quickly corrected herself as she finished her sentence.

'What can I do now?'

Ren thought as he let out another sigh.

After reaching the set, Ren was busy doing his scenes. As he was the male lead, he had too many scenes and his scenes were also longer than other actors.

That's why he was really tired because of that. As for Xiao Rin, she completed her scenes earlier than him and had already left the set.

Earlier, she has no schedule other than the shooting but now, after the drama had aired, her popularity has also been increasing.

She had been getting the offers for interviews and photo shoots these days a lot.

That's why her schedule had gotten busier.

'I am too tired!'

Ren thought as he sat down on a bench. He was both physically and mentally tired after shooting and thinking about Xiao Rin.

He wanted a break after the drama but the sad reality was that his schedule was filled from head to bottom.

He doesn't have any time to rest.

"It looks like our star has been a lot tired these days."

As he was sitting on the bench, Chen Mei approached him with a teasing smile on her face.

After the drama had aired, she had been smiling a lot. She was obviously happy with the ratings and the reception of the drama.

"What star? I am just an ordinary actor."

"Ordinary?! If you are ordinary, then we are just third-grade actors. Don't lie when you are receiving advertisement worth millions."

Chen Mei said as she sat down next to Ren.

"How did you know that?"

Ren asked with a surprised expression on his face. Jiang Wan had already told him about the advertisement offers he had received.

They were currently negotiating with the companies but Ren would probably do his first advertisement soon.

"I just know it. Rumors spread fast in the industry. I will have you treat me, now that you are rich."

"You are saying that when you yourself will be doing lots of advertisements. I had even heard that you will become the brand ambassador of some brands too."

"How did you know that?"

It was Chen Mei turn to be surprised now. She didn't expect Ren to know about it.

"Well, rumors spread fast in the industry."

Ren said as he smiled but he was lying there. He hadn't heard any rumors. He was saying that because, in his previous life, Chen Mei's face was a common thing on television after the drama.

After the drama, she had done various advertisements and she had even gone to endorse some large brands.

Ren and Chen Mei kept talking for a while and after some time, Chen Mei asked a sensitive question.

"You look really worried these days. Are you worried about something?"

"Ah, did it show on my face?"

"Yeah, these days, you look like you have too many thoughts on your mind. Are you worried about something?"

"No, It's not that....."

Ren wanted to simply dodge the subject here as he doesn't want to talk about Xiao Rin. It was his personal problem but Chen Mei next words stunned him.

"Is it because of Xiao Rin?"
