Xia Yangyang noticed a significant change in Lu Yao’s attitude these past few days.

She always deliberately avoided her. After returning to the dormitory in the evening, she wouldn’t talk, just read her script or go to sleep.

Xia Yangyang had tried several times to chat with her, but she always found an excuse to turn her down.

Xia Yangyang noticed Lu Yao growing increasingly cold towards her.

However, Xia Yangyang was puzzled as there had been no conflict between them.

One day at noon, Dai Yangyang brought her lunch box and sat next to Lu Yao.

To her surprise, as soon as Xia Yangyang sat down, Lu Yao got up and moved to a different seat.

Xia Yangyang felt incredibly embarassed.

She was also quite hurt inside.

At least she was sure now, Lu Yao was genuinely repulsed by her.

Xia Yangyang sat alone, head bowed as she finished her meal. At some point though, Chen Yu had taken the seat beside her.

Chen Yu swiftly grabbed her lunch box and disposable chopsticks, tossing them into a nearby trash can.

Xia Yangyang was taken aback. “Chen Yu, what are you doing?”

Chen Yu replied, “Is the communal lunch of the crew supposed to be edible? It’s disgustingly unpalatable. Look how thin you’ve become.”

Xia Yangyang was at a loss for words. He really didn’t fear offending people.

Director Yang, who was right nearby, heard Chen Yu’s complaints and looked awkwardly at his own “communal lunch”.

He wasn’t sure whether he should continue eating or not.

Chen Yu, not concerned at all, abruptly grabbed Xia Yangyang’s arm exclaiming, “From now on, come eat with me. Whatever you want, I’ll have the cook prepare it.”

Xia Yangyang wasn’t pleased.

But in the end, she was forcefully led away by Chen Yu.

Chen Yu continually served food to Xia Yangyang, his actions caring and gentle. Xia Yangyang, however, appeared aggrieved. The two were on the verge of bickering.

All of this was witnessed by Lu Yao.

Her fingertips turned white as she clenched her chopsticks, nearly snapping them.

Xia Weiwei had been watching the whole scenario from the shadows. It seemed her words from before were starting to take effect. It was time to add a little more fuel to the fire.

Xia Weiwei took the initiative to sit next to Lu Yao and remarked, “Chen Yu seems to really like my sister. She truly is a master in the game of love. This tactic of playing hard to get—I must admit—is working wonderfully.”

Lu Yao asked, “What are you trying to say?”

Xia Weiwei continued, “Chen Yu’s food looks good. However, I hope there are no peanuts. My sister is allergic to peanuts. Not just eating them, even a small inhale of peanut dust can cause a body-wide rash, and it wouldn’t subside for half a month.”

Lu Yao’s frown deepened. “What are you getting at?”

With an uncaring expression, Xia Weiwei stated, “Just saying, the Cinderella film schedule is only three months. Given its urgency, the director can’t afford to wait half a month for an actor. If my sister is replaced as the lead role due to health problems, who is the most likely replacement? I think it’s you, Sister Lu Yao. Then, you can film scenes together with Chen Yu. Perhaps you might even develop feelings for each other.”

Before Lu Yao could respond, Xia Weiwei got up, “I’ve always felt it was a pity. The role originally belonged to you. Your appearance and acting skills are far superior compared to Xia Yangyang. Unfortunately, there are too many unspoken rules in this circle. Without any tactics, who could last long here?”

After Xia Weiwei had left, Lu Yao sat in silence, her hand holding her chopsticks trembling slightly.

In the middle of the night, Xia Yangyang suddenly started wheezing.

Lu Yao was still awake.

Alarmed, she got out of the bed to check on her.

Xia Yangyang was covered head to toe in red spots, her face already swollen.

Moreover, she continuously coughed, barely able to catch her breath.
