The Best Actor's Courtship: Miss Scriptwriter, Please Love Me! Chapter 48 Confession Of Love

Although Xie Ning and Ding Sisi were not colleagues, it was so-called "the enemy of my enemy is my friend." At first, Xie Ning and Ding Sisi had competed for being the heroine, so they were compet.i.tors. And then, Ding Sisi was selected to be the leading actress while Xie Ning was descended to be the supporting role. Naturally, Xie Ning was rather discontent about Ding Sisi, but she dared not mess with Ding Sisi for fear of her background. Therefore, although Xie Ning did not turn against Ding Sisi openly, she still felt unpleasant toward Ding Sisi. Now Ding Sisi had left, and all the hatred and hostility undoubtedly fell on Yun Muxi who had replaced Ding Sisi. This was where Xie Ning had her secret ambition—if others would do something to Yun Muxi that she desired to do, all she needed to do was just getting profit by sitting on the fence.

Without doubt, Xie Ning got Yun Muxi and Gong Yu in the picture. And their incompatible facial expressions could easily cause much imagination. Xie Ning raised her eyes to look at Yun Muxi in the distance and lifted the corners of her mouth into an evil smile. She put down her phone and walked toward the center of the filming site.

After making her petty scheme, Xie Ning was in good mood. She walked to Yun Muxi and praised her with hypocrisy, "Xiao Xi, you just did well! Keep it!"

Yun Muxi took no notice of Xie Ning's change. She just smiled and said, "Thank you!"

A simple smile made Xie Ning involuntarily stunned. She thought to herself, "Yun Muxi is beautiful indeed! How alluring such a simple smile is! It seems that Yun Muxi's charm cannot be underestimated—just her appearance can enchant a number of men. Therefore, what I should do now is to add more fuel to the fire—to have Ding Sisi to handle Yun Muxi as soon as possible."

Xie Ning was green with envy in her heart but showed great amicability outwardly. She smiled at Yun Muxi sweetly and took Yun Muxi's arm closely, as if she had never said those sarcastic words. She began chatting with Yun Muxi intimately, "Xiao Xi, we will become good sisters in the film. And we can also be good sisters outside the film! This is your first acting. If you have any question, feel free to ask me. I will do everything I can to help you!"

Yun Muxi wondered at Xie Ning's change. She had paid little attention to the simple praise, but now Xie Ning was close to her on purpose, which made her suspect involuntarily. As a matter of fact, Yun Muxi lacked a sense of security, so she always stayed at a respectful distance from the persons like Xie Ning. She was unwilling to have too many links with them and disgusted with Xie Ning's close move.

"Oh, Sister Ning, one of your earrings is going to drop!"

Yun Muxi took advantage of helping Xie Ning with her earring to stretch out her arms naturally, so she could both gave Xie Ning a hand and un.o.btrusively keep her at a distance. Yu Muxi said, "Sister Ning, in the next scene you have to carry me behind your back. It may be hard for you! I will try my best to pa.s.s it once and lessen the trouble on you."

As for the following shooting, Yun Muxi did perform well—almost one take, which not only enabled them to finish ahead of filming schedule, but also made Zhao Yi excited. He could not help praising, "Ah! Xiao Xi, I did not think that you're really a talented girl. You do a good job in your first acting, which impresses me a lot!"

With a sheepish grin, Yun Muxi said to Zhao Yi, "Director Zhao, I feel flattered. This scene is quite easy! Please do not have too much expectation on me, otherwise, I'm afraid I will let you down."

Zhao Yi laughed loudly and said, "Haha... Well, Xiao Xi, pack your things and go home earlier. Looking forward to your better performance tomorrow!"

When Yun Muxi had removed the makeup and walked out of the filming site, Mou Yichen and Gong Yu came to Yun Muxi one by one. Mou Yichen smiled and said in a soft voice, "Xiao Xi, you performed very well today. There you are! No difficulty can daunt our super scholar. You really open my eyes. Amazing once again!"

Before Yun Muxi responded, Gong Yu followed and said, "Xiao Xi, you behaved well today! I have said that you can do it. Believe me! You can do a good job in this film! I always believe that you are the best candidate for the leading actress!"

Without a sign of weakness, Mou Yichen continued to say, "Xiao Xi, I'll treat you to dinner and celebrate it! And then I'll send you to your home!"

Gong Yu cast Mou Yichen a stern glance and said to Yun Muxi blandly, "Xiao Xi, we live quite near. It's better to let me take you home. After a long day, you're very tired and let me take you home to rest early."

They competed against each other to flatter Yun Muxi and then scrambled to send her home, which made the staff beside slightly surprised. "Do the two handsome men begin their compet.i.tion? How charming Yun Muxi is! How can she make the two gorgeous Mr. Mcdreamies lose their hearts to her, and even quarrel with each other at all costs?"

People around were gloating for mayhem to ensue and fixing their eyes on Yun Muxi to see what Yun Muxi would respond.

Meanwhile, Xie Ning did not just stand by, but she secretly recorded it into a video and sent to Ding Sisi.

Yun Muxi was rather embarra.s.sed since so many people focused their eyes on her. It was not proper to choose either of them, because it seemed to announce that she preferred the one she would choose, and it would hurt the one she did not choose. At the very moment she felt awkward, her phone rang happily.

Yun Muxi was grateful to the owner of the call at once, because this call made her considerably relieved. She picked up the phone cheerfully, even neglecting the caller's ID, and said, "h.e.l.lo!"

"Yo, Xiao Xi, are you so happy to receive my call?"

Lu Yang's booming voice came through the phone. His clear and sonorous voice was like a large bell, which made Yun Muxi pretty joyful. Yun Muxi took the phone and deliberately walked away several steps until she was sure that both of them could not hear the voice on the phone. She said merrily, "Xuanxuan, why do you call me?"

Lu Yang felt strange on the other end, thinking if he had dialed the wrong number. He looked again at the number that he had dialed and confirmed that it was Yun Muxi's number, so he asked full of doubt, "Xiao Xi, this is Lu Yang! Can't you recognize my voice? Haven't you forgotten me?"

Yun Muxi sank her voice as low as only both of them could hear, and replied, "Lu Yang, I know it's you. I got some problems. I need your cooperation for some minutes!" And then she raised her voice normally and said, "Ah, you're waiting for me at the gate? Fine, I am coming soon. See you later!"

After hanging up, Yun Muxi rushed to the gate like fleeing. She said to the two men behind as she ran, "Sorry, I have something else to do today. I have to go. Thank you for your kindness!"

Yun Muxi dashed to the gate so quickly that her figure disappeared in a flash before the two made any response, leaving a crowd of people looking at each other in speechless despair. "What is this? The heroine just ran away without accepting anyone. Are these two handsome men not attractive enough? Or does Yun Muxi have another shocking news?"

Yun Muxi dashed out of the filming site like running a 100-meter sprint to the roadside, stopped a taxi quickly and escaped from the trouble. When the taxi moved, she patted her breast in a fl.u.s.ter and breathed heavily. She said to herself, "So tired! How terrifying! What's the situation? Did they agree to embarra.s.s me today?"

Yun Muxi managed to smooth her breath and took out the phone to call Lu Yang.

Yun Muxi smiled and said, "h.e.l.lo, Lu Yang, thank you just now!"

Lu Yang's warm laughter rang in the phone, and he said in delight, "I'm so happy that I can help you. But what's the matter just now? What problems?"

Yun Muxi thought for a while and did not tell him the truth, but she just said curtly, "H'm, it's nothing, just a little trouble. I have handled it! Well, why did you call me just now?"

Lu Yang cleared his throat and said, "Xiao Xi, I will pa.s.s by your home and see you. Is it convenient for you?"

Yun Muxi went a little blank. Her sixth sense told her that there was something unusual, but she could not figure it out at once. So she had to answer insipidly, "I haven't returned home yet. And I have to buy something in the nearby supermarket. So it might not be convenient!"

Lu Yang said immediately, "It doesn't matter. I have to do something else for a moment. You can finish your work first. And after you finish, I think I am ok, too."

Yun Muxi hesitated but said nothing, showing a tacit admission.

After hanging up the phone, Yun Muxi had a faintly awful feeling with an unusual agitation covering her heart.

Yun Muxi went to the supermarket to purchase some vegetables and fruits. No sooner had she arrived at the downstairs of her apartment than she saw a straight figure standing beside the garden. Since Lu Yang was a soldier, he stood more straight than normal people, with a born valiant demeanor. Therefore, even though he did not wear his military uniform today, Yun Muxi could tell his character with no difficulty just from a mere view of the back.

Today, Lu Yang was wearing casual clothes: a brown leather jacket in leisure design, a white hoodie inside with the cap turned out, and a khaki casual pants. Totally different from the handsome and strong image in military uniform, this set made Yu Lang look more amicable and free.

Yun Muxi walked forward and called mildly, "Lu Yang."

Lu Yang turned back with his typical s.h.i.+ning smile on the face, and his white teeth lightened his bright smile. He answered in a clear voice, "Xiao Xi, you're back!"

Yun Muxi nodded simply and asked apologetically, "Have you been waiting long? Sorry to let you wait downstairs. Let's go upstairs and take a seat."

And Yun Muxi led the way and walked toward the building gate. When she took several steps, Lu Yang called her suddenly, "Xiao Xi, actually, I have something to say to you!" .

Yun Muxi paused hesitantly and turned around with her big black clear eyes staring into Lu Yang. However, not only she saw Lu Yang look at her with determination, but also noticed that not far away behind Lu Yang, Gong Yu and Mou Yichen got off two different cars respectively. After getting off, they showed a moment of hesitation and glared at each other, frowning.

"Xiao Xi, actually, today I came to tell you, I like you. I fell in love with you the first time I saw you..."
