Chapter 1049: Gossip With Her

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Sensing her discomfort, the director couldn’t help but ask, “Little Jiu, what’s wrong with you? Didn’t you rest well last night? Your acting is improving, but you were better yesterday.”

Su Jiu knew that she was acting stiffly, but she really felt awkward being pressed against the wall by Xia Yi!

Nothing felt right.

With a dry laugh, she said, “Director, I’m indeed in a bit of a state today. Why don’t… you get a body double to act out this part for me?”

Xia Yi was speechless.

He had just persuaded the director to add more interactive scenes between him and Su Jiu, but now, Su Jiu was saying that she was not in the mood and even wanted a body double to act in her place. Then what was the point of adding such scenes?

However, as Su Jiu was the one suggesting this, even if Xia Yi was a little unhappy, he could not disagree outright. He had to agree with her. Putting on a concerned expression, he said, “Director Wang, Little Jiu might not have rested well last night. Let her rest for a while. A body double will be fine too. I can make it work.”

The director nodded appreciatively. That was the kind of actor he liked. Someone who would solve your problems, accommodate you, and would not make trouble for you. Even though he had just asked for more scenes…

However, he was the male lead, so it was fine to add some scenes.

Xia Yi acted out the scene with Su Jiu’s body double. Although the body double was also beautiful and cute like Su Jiu and their figures were similar, Xia Yi’s heart did not waver when he faced her. It was different from when he faced Su Jiu, when his heart beat faster, and when he became nervous, afraid that he would not act well and would be looked down upon by her. He wanted to work hard to act well.

His performance could only be described as average. To not delay the filming of a scene that was not particularly important, the director made do with what he had recorded.

The filming did not end until six in the evening. They changed places several times. Perhaps, it was because her period was coming, but Su Jiu felt unusually tired and did not want to move at all. She just wanted to go back to her room and sprawl on her bed. However, the director seemed to be in a generous mood that day, saying that everyone had worked hard that day and that they should go to a nearby hotel for a meal. It was his treat.

Xia Yi immediately walked over and asked, “Little Jiu, would you like to eat together?”

Su Jiu shook her head. “No, I’m not feeling well. I want to go to my room and rest.”

Xia Yi felt a little sorry for her, but did not force her. “Okay, then… shall I send you back?”

“No need. I can make my way back.”

“It’s okay. Your assistant isn’t here today, are they? My assistant has a car. He can drive you back.”

Su Jiu was about to say that she did not have an assistant, but she had bodyguards. They had been waiting for her outside the set. They were the kind that protected her in secret. Xia Yi was unaware of that.

She made an excuse. “There’s really no need. If the paparazzi get a picture of us, there might be bad press. It would be bad for both of us.”

However, Xia Yi did not think so. At this moment, he could not wait to have a scandal with Su Jiu. This would increase not only the popularity of this drama but also that of his own. Wouldn’t that be killing two birds with one stone?

With that thought in mind, he suddenly reached out and grabbed her wrist. “Let’s go. I’ll take you back to the hotel.”

Startled, Su Jiu instinctively pulled her hand back.

Xia Yi seemed to realize that he had been rude and quickly apologized to her. “I’m sorry. I… didn’t mean to.”

“It’s fine,” Su Jiu said dryly. “I won’t trouble you to send me back. I can go by myself.”

“Then… alright.” Xia Yi could only watch her leave.

But that scene of him holding Su Jiu’s wrist had been captured by a person hiding in the dark.
