Chapter 82 - 82 The Full Moon Is Visible Tonight
82 The Full Moon Is Visible Tonight
“Is Star City Entertainment going to close down?” Shi Ran sat down and glanced at Qiu Yaohang.
Qiu Yaohang was speechless again.
Shit!
Why must these two always say something so similar!
Thinking of Chu Jinchen, he smiled again. “How do you feel about today’s recording? Are you not used to not having Third Young Master around?”
“We’ve only recorded together for two days. Two days is too short for habits to form.” Shi Ran took a bottle of water and took a sip.
Qiu Yaohang was speechless again.
He sincerely felt that.
Jinchen was really brave to woo a girl like Shi Ran.
This spirit of meeting difficulties head-on was respectable.
“But Third Young Master can be considered to have participated in the live broadcast today.” Qiu Yaohang continued.
“Huh?” Shi Ran looked over in confusion.
Qiu Yaohang smiled mysteriously. “You still don’t know, right? Third Young Master is very generous today.”
‘Generous?’
Shi Ran raised her eyebrows.
She suddenly recalled the incident that happened during her live broadcast with Zuo Yifei today.
At that time, they thought that the top gifter was a CP fan of Chu Jinchen.
But now it seems…
“It’s Chu Jinchen?”
“What do you think?” Qiu Yaohang blinked but didn’t comment.
Shi Ran narrowed her eyes.
He was surprised.
But it was indeed something Chu Jinchen would do.
The ride was smooth.
When Shi Ran returned to her apartment in the capital, it was already night.
“Hum—”
She had just stepped out of the shower when she heard her phone vibrate on the table.
She stepped forward to check.
It was Chu Jinchen.
She slid the answer button to her ear and sank into the soft sofa.
“The full moon is visible tonight.” Chu Jinchen’s deep voice was gentle.
“Oh?”
Shi Ran glanced in the direction of the balcony and could not see the moon.
She rose.
She stood against the railing, looking up, as the breeze brushed against her face.
A full moon hung high in the dark night sky.
Her lips curved, her smile light. “Yes, it’s a full moon.”
Chu Jinchen was standing on the top floor of the KT Building, looking up at the same moon as Shi Ran.
He narrowed his eyes in pleasure. “The room for today’s live broadcast is my room.”
“Yeah.”
“I spent five million,” he said again. He sounded hopeful, like a kid waiting for a compliment.
“What a waste of money.”
Chu Jinchen chuckled and his low laughter overflowed.
“You’re going to be on the set tomorrow, right? Bai Jingtian will be the male lead?” His eyes flashed.
“The female lead is Wen Yufei,” Shi Ran said.
“On purpose?” Chu asked with a smile. “She and I… I can explain.”
“That won’t be necessary,” Shi Ran rejected heartlessly.
However, Chu Jinchen smiled even more happily.
He slid his index finger along the railing. “You were serious yesterday when you said you’d fight them off for me if I refused to leave?”
“I meant it.”
“What if you can’t win?” Chu Jinchen leaned against the railing, unable to retract the smile on his face.
“There’s still you.”
Chu Jinchen’s smile deepened.
After a while, he heard Shi Ran’s hesitant voice. “I… want to ask you a question.”
Chu Jinchen raised his eyebrows.
It was the first time Shi Ran had spoken to him in such a tone.
‘Ask a question?’
‘Did she find out about today and want to ask if he liked her?’
Or did she want to ask about him and Yufei?
At this moment, Chu Jinchen became nervous.
After waiting for a long time, Shi Ran said, “I want to ask, who taught you martial arts?”
Chu Jinchen :”…”
When he didn’t answer, Shi Ran explained, “I know many people are unwilling to reveal their masters, but I’m just curious because you’re… quite strong.”
“Is that what you want to ask?” Chu Jinchen’s lips curled up dangerously.
“Yes,” Shi Ran replied honestly.
“You still have to reach the production set early tomorrow. Rest early and don’t stay up all night,” Chu Jinchen said with a smile.
Shi Ran thought he didn’t want to reveal it, so she stopped pushing. “Okay.”
With that, Shi Ran hung up.
Chu Jinchen listened to the busy tone on the other end of the phone and laughed helplessly. He muttered, “Heartless woman.”
… .
The next day, Shi Ran arrived at the set early when the staff were still setting up the set.
Ji Wenfeng had left after dropping them off at the set.
Fang Tongtong followed Shi Ran and looked around curiously.
“Sister Ran, this is my first time on set. It feels so magical,” she said excitedly.
Shi Ran smiled and went straight to the public dressing room without speaking.
In the production team, other than the male and female leads who had their own resting dressing room, the other actors could only put on their makeup in the public dressing room.
No sooner had she stepped inside when she heard the door slam open with force.
A woman dressed in luxury brands walked in arrogantly, carrying a branded bag.
Her arrogant gaze swept over everyone as she said loudly, “I want to use this dressing room alone. All of you, get out.”
The people in the dressing room looked at each other, bewildered.
“Um… Sister Zhiling, the other actors have to wear makeup too,” a makeup artist said carefully.
“So?” Gong Zhiling asked in disdain.
The makeup artist was too frightened to speak.
“Who is this? She’s so arrogant,” Fang Tongtong muttered.
“She’s the third female lead in Return With The King. I heard she wasn’t supposed to be on the set in the first place, but she seems to have a strong backer, so she got shoved in.”
Someone whispered and then explained.
Realization filled Shi Ran’s eyes.
“But this is for public use. If you want to use it alone, you can just get an exclusive one from the staff,” an actor said indignantly.
Gong Zhiling narrowed her eyes and walked in front of her in her high heels. She raised her hand and slapped the young actress’s face.
“Pa—”
The crisp slap stunned everyone.
They did not expect Gong Zhiling to be so arrogant and hit someone just like that.
For a moment, everyone was in danger so no one dared to make a sound.
The young actress covered her cheek and looked at Gong Zhiling in shock.
“This is the consequence of challenging me,” Gong Zhiling sneered.
Her insufferably arrogant gaze swept over everyone. “Aren’t you leaving? Do I have to find someone to throw you out one by one?”
Seeing that no one retorted, she called out to her assistant behind her, “Get someone to clean the dressing room three times. It’s become so dirty with so many people.”
The small actress bit her lip resentfully.
When Gong Zhiling noticed this, she sneered. “I’m talking to you. Get lost.”
Then she pushed her.
Caught off guard, the young actress stumbled and fell backward.
She was about to fall.
A second later an arm swung behind her and steadied her.
She looked up in a panic and saw Shi Ran’s exquisite face. She stood up and said gratefully, “Thank you, Sister Shi Ran.”
“You’re Shi Ran?” Gong Zhiling sized her up disdainfully. “Don’t tell me you think you can challenge me just because you climbed into Best Actor Bai’s bed and got the second female lead?”
“Did you just come out of the toilet? Your mouth stinks,” Shi Ran said lazily.
“How dare you say my mouth stinks?! You bitch!”
Gong Zhiling’s expression twisted. She stretched out her long red fingernails and was going for Shi Ran’s face.
Before she could touch her, her hand was grabbed in midair.
“Let go of me!” Gong Zhiling struggled.
However, Shi Ran remained motionless.
“B*tch! Let go of me, did you hear me?!” Gong Zhiling’s voice rose an octave, her sharp voice making one’s ears uncomfortable.
Shi Ran smirked. “Sure, I’ll let you go.”
She let go.
Gong Zhiling gritted her teeth. “At least you know…”
“Pa—”
A crisp slap landed on Gong Zhiling’s face.
