Chapter 21.2

In the following period, the shooting went exceptionally smooth. After that day, Liang Zhuo seemed to have become a different person. Although he still had a lifeless face, he no longer said some weird things.

On the first day, he and his assistant passed by and unusually took the initiative to say good morning to Su Qian.

Su Qian was almost shocked, and insisted that Xu Ke go and see if that person was really Liang Zhuo or someone who just looked like him.

On the second day, during filming, Su Qian had to shoot a tree-climbing scene three times in a row. Not only was Liang Zhuo not impatient, but he also actively taught her what kind of posture would be easier to use.

On the third day, Su Qian was chatting with Xu Ke leisurely, she misspoke, and Xu Ke laughed so hard that she bent over, and when she turned her head, she saw Liang Zhuo was also laughing.

Su Qian finally began to feel horrified.

At noon that day, Liang Zhuo treated the entire crew to Starbucks, and among hundreds of people, only Su Qian’s cup was at room temperature.

Zhang Pingting envied, “Wow, I didn’t expect Teacher Liang to be a tough guy with a soft heart, and he’s quite careful.”

Su Qian handed her the cup in her hand, “If you want, you can exchange with me.”

“No, I like iced ones!”

That day, because they rushed a night scene, they finished work later than usual. When they returned to the hotel, only Su Qian, Xu Ke, Liang Zhuo, and his assistant were together.

The two assistants were carrying things and following behind, Su Qian and Liang Zhuo were about two steps apart.

She looked at Liang Zhuo’s lean back, thought for a moment, and quickly walked a few steps, “Teacher Liang, can I ask you a question?”

Liang Zhuo turned his head, signaling her to ask with his eyes.

“You… have you discovered my strengths?” Otherwise, there’s no reason for such a big change in attitude.

“What, you’re not used to getting along peacefully with me?”

“Well, not really, I’m not a masochist.” Su Qian laughed, “It just feels a bit sudden.”

The night was pitch black, with a few stars dotted in the sky. Liang Zhuo walked forward casually, with his hands in his pockets.

Seeing his sudden silence, Su Qian thought he was not prepared to answer. When they reached the main entrance of the hotel, he suddenly stopped.

“I used to have some prejudices against you. But after getting along, I found that you seem not to be like that. I am willing to apologize for my previous actions.”

Su Qian was somewhat surprised.

The person standing in front of her, who won the Golden Watch Award for Best Actor directly with his first work at a young age, must be proud.

She didn’t expect that he would sincerely apologize to her at this moment.

When others are polite, Su Qian feels less comfortable. She waved her hand, “Actually, I really didn’t care much at the beginning.”

She doesn’t take the words of strangers to heart, but it can get annoying if it happens too often. After all, she was once a three-time award-winning actress with unlimited glory. If you talk about pride, she has it too.

Liang Zhuo raised an eyebrow, “Really?”

He looked somewhat intentional, as if he would continue to act as before if Su Qian nodded.

“But – I’m quite happy to turn a ‘hater’ into a ‘passerby’.”

“Maybe not a passerby.” Liang Zhuo pressed the elevator button, not looked at her and said, “Director Wang’s vision is indeed sharp.”

An actor needs to work hard and needs talent. Su Qian has both, and it’s only a matter of time before she shines.

Liang Zhuo’s words were obscure, but Su Qian understood them clearly. Agreeing with Director Wang’s words is an indirect recognition of her strength.

When the elevator arrived, Su Qian walked out and showed Liang Zhuo a sincere smile, “Teacher Liang, actually, I can drink iced drinks too.”

She’s not a person who likes to be special.

Liang Zhuo smiled knowingly, “Okay, I’ll keep that in mind next time.”

—

Two months passed quickly. At the end of September, Su Qian finished her scenes, and the next day she said goodbye to the people in the crew and returned to Shencheng.

Zhang Pingting’s scenes followed the main character, so they were particularly scattered. Before Su Qian left, she cried and shouted to exchange WeChat with her.

“Sister Qianqian, keep in touch when you have time!”

Su Qian smiled at her, then turned around and got into the nanny car.

They all know that in this industry, you can be friends today and competitors tomorrow. It’s fate to meet in the same crew, and everything else will take its course.

After a bumpy five or six hours, it was dark, and Su Qian finally arrived at her doorstep.

Bright light spilled out from the glass window, illuminating the flowers and plants in the yard. Su Qian took a deep breath and suddenly felt a lot of the fatigue on her body disappear.

It seems that she really considers this place her home, returning here actually gave her a long-lost sense of belonging.

This is not a good phenomenon. Because she will leave sooner or later.

Just as Su Qian was about to drag her suitcase in, she saw the front door suddenly open, and Zhou Bingyan and Jin Lie walked out one after the other. They said a few more reluctant words, then Zhou Bingyan waved goodbye and drove away.

Su Qian looked at Jin Lie a few meters away and suddenly sneered.

She took back what she had just said, her home is not here, it should be the beautiful grassland.

——

Zhou Bingyan’s father is a professor of history. Some time ago, he borrowed a bronze ware from Jin Lie for a lecture, which Jin Lie had obtained at an auction. Now that he’s done with it and wants to return it, Zhou Bingyan volunteered to deliver it.

Delivering the item was just an excuse, she wanted to take this opportunity to see Jin Lie. It was rare that she could even enter the house.

Zhou Bingyan knew that Su Qian was not at home filming, so she dressed up carefully before coming. She specifically changed into a rose-red strapless short dress, hoping to attract Jin Lie’s attention as much as possible.

She pressed the doorbell, and a perfect smile on her pretty face. She was prepared to show her best side when Jin Lie opened the door.

Despite all her preparations, she never expected to be greeted by a middle-aged woman. Dressed simply, with an apron around her waist, and her eyes carried a hint of obscure scrutiny.

Could it be Su Qian’s mother?

“I’m looking for Jin Lie.” Zhou Bingyan finished speaking, bypassed Mrs. Wang, and walked in on her own.

Mrs. Wang followed behind, her gaze wandering over her, and from her outfit, she could tell that this woman’s intentions were not pure.

So her eyes became more guarded, “The Mr. is upstairs calling his wife, he’ll be down in a moment.”

In fact, she had no idea what Jin Lie was doing. But it was definitely right to mention his wife in front of this woman.

“Wife?” Hearing the title, Zhou Bingyan finally reacted. The woman in front of her was just a housekeeper at best, no wonder she looked so poor. She snorted, “You do call her quite affectionately.”

“The wife is the mistress of this house, it’s right for me to respect her.”

Mr. Jin has a wife, please restrain yourself!

Mrs. Wang was just short of throwing these words in Zhou Bingyan’s face.

While they were talking, Jin Lie came down from upstairs.

He was wearing a set of ash-colored home clothes, he should have just taken a bath. His body carried the fresh scent of shower gel, and his slightly curled hair was fluffy and soft.

Zhou Bingyan rarely saw Jin Lie like this. Most of the time outside, he was in a suit and tie, his hair neatly combed. He rarely showed any expression on his face, and his gaze was much sharper.

But at home, his state was very relaxed, and his expression was much softer.

It was okay if she hadn’t seen it, but now that she had seen this unknown side of Jin Lie, Zhou Bingyan’s jealousy of Su Qian reached an all-time high.

What on earth does that woman have!
