Tang Tiantian stood at the film location entrance with Mu Sheng’s water. Tang Tiantian had been waiting for a long time. She smiled and waved at Mu Sheng when she finally saw her. “Over here, Sheng.”

The moment Tang Tiantian said this, she found something amiss.

Mu Sheng was 20 years old and Tang Tiantian was five to six years older than her. However, she inexplicably spoke to Mu Sheng reverently.

Since Mu Sheng was off filming today and it was a more professional environment, she was dressed in her black coat and a pair of stilettos. She gave off an imposing aura as she walked over.

Tang Tiantian did not feel it was beneath her to treat Mu Sheng with respect.

“What are we filming today?” Mu Sheng looked at Tang Tiantian as she walked over.

“Why don’t you read the script for now? Your character doesn’t have much dialogue, so it is far easier to film,” said Tang Tiantian as she handed Mu Sheng the script.

Mu Sheng glanced at the script. Her part genuinely did not have much air time or dialogue.

The film crew had started to set up the set and it was almost time to start filming. The director was busy talking to the female lead about her part.

“Yingying, you have to control your rhythm. Since you are rehearsing with Siyu, you have to be absolutely focused.”

“Don’t worry. I will do my best to learn from him and catch up.” Ruan Yingying could not help feeling excited just thinking that she was about to rehea.r.s.e with Qiao Siyu.

Qiao Siyu became a real hit last year and was now a top actor. Since he was popular and had excellent acting skills, he gained a ma.s.sive following.

Countless actresses wanted to act with him. Talent Scout Entertainment spent a lot to get Ruan Yingying to become the female lead and act as lovers with Qiao Siyu.

Before filming started, Ruan Yingying already knew she would become even more well-known if any news of her dating Qiao Siyu got out.

If Qiao Siyu fancied her, she would have nothing to worry about.

Ruan Yingying felt delighted just thinking about it. She raised her head and looked at Mu Sheng as she walked over and the joy disappeared from her eyes.

Ruan Yingying secretly frowned when she saw how stunning Mu Sheng was even without makeup on. However, Ruan Yingying quickly composed herself and smiled as she walked over. “Hi, Sheng! The director is talking to us about our part. Why don’t you come and listen?”

Mu Sheng disregarded Ruan Yingying’s outreached hand and walked straight ahead, leaving Ruan Yingying smiling awkwardly before pulling her hand back.

The entire film crew had arrived. The moment they caught the scene, they secretly shook their heads. Mu Sheng was so rude.

The director was previously very happy about giving Mu Sheng the part. However, he looked annoyed when he saw this and said mildly, “Just wait by the side. I will call for you when it is your turn.”

“Okay.” Mu Sheng took the script and sat down on a chair before she slowly read it.

Even though Tang Tiantian was worried about starting on a bad note with the film crew, there was nothing she could do since Mu Sheng seemed absolutely calm. Tang Tiantian could only sit down beside Mu Sheng and await any orders.

They spent the entire morning waiting. No one came to inform Mu Sheng all the way until lunchtime.

Tang Tiantian asked around before coming back to Mu Sheng. “I heard Ruan Yingying made too many bloopers this morning, so the entire schedule got held back.”

“It’s fine.” Tang Tiantian was surprised by how nice Mu Sheng was. “What’s for lunch?”

“Lunch is provided by the film crew. I will go get your food now.”

Ruan Yingying was walking back to her private makeup room under the company of an employee. “This is so annoying. Why does it keep having to get redone?”

“Yingying, Director Yang is known for having high standards. He is only demanding because he has high hopes for you.” Liu Hui hurriedly comforted Ruan Yingying.

“Humph.” Director Yang had reprimanded her several times right in front of the film crew, so Ruan Yingying was very upset. “What about Mu Sheng?”

“She is eating lunch.” Liu Hui pointed at a corner nearby. Mu Sheng was sitting on the chair eating take-out as though it was delicious.

“Why is she so happy eating takeout?” Ruan Yingying felt a lot happier when she saw Mu Sheng having a worse time on set. “Let’s go. Is lunch ready?”

“Don’t worry, my dear. We have ordered four dishes and one soup from Fragrance Restaurant. Only the best for you.”

Ruan Yingying’s mood finally lifted as she left for lunch with people encircling her.

Tang Tiantian glanced at Ruan Yingying from behind before looking at Mu Sheng. “I will buy you takeout from elsewhere tomorrow. The food prepared by the film crew really doesn’t taste very good.”

Although they could not afford to give her the same food as Ruan Yingying, Tang Tiantian had to find some way to improve Mu Sheng’s food situation.

“It’s fine. I think it tastes okay.” Although lunch couldn’t compare to Auntie Lin’s cooking, it was still better than nutrient fluid.

Tang Tiantian thought Mu Sheng was just trying to make her feel better as she looked at the takeout box without even a single sc.r.a.p of meat.

How could a gorgeous woman like Mu Sheng eat such a lousy lunch? Tang Tiantian had to find a way to improve Mu Sheng’s meals tomorrow and make sure she was given a chicken drumstick!

Mu Sheng’s phone suddenly vibrated while she was eating. She took it out and saw it was a text from Li Hanchen.

Li Hanchen asked: [How should I treat muscle strain? Should I do a hot or cold compress?]

Mu Sheng put down her chopsticks and replied: [If it happened within 48 hours, you can apply a cold compress. If it happened more than 48 hours, then do a hot one.]

Li Hanchen almost instantly replied: [Okay. Thanks. It’s already lunchtime. Have you eaten yet?]

Mu Sheng replied: [Yup.]

Li Hanchen asked casually: [What did you have for lunch?]

Mu Sheng did not know what the dishes were called, so she decided to send him a picture.

This time, Li Hanchen replied after a long time: [Are you full?]

Mu Sheng replied candidly: [Uh huh. It was pretty good.]

Li Hanchen went quiet when he saw Mu Sheng claiming lunch was good.

Since Li Hanchen did not continue texting her, Mu Sheng stopped looking at her phone and focused on finis.h.i.+ng her lunch until not a speck of rice was left.

Tang Tiantian turned to wipe tears from her eyes after she saw the empty take-out box. Mu Sheng must have suffered a lot after leaving her talent agency. Why else would someone like her finish every morsel in her lousy take-out box?

She had to ensure Mu Sheng got to have an extra chicken drumstick tomorrow!

Shortly after lunch, filming continued. Even though everyone was busy working, Mu Sheng had nothing to do. She was just left waiting until sunset.

The sun was about to set and the weather started to turn cold. Mu Sheng did not dress particularly warmly today, so Tang Tiantian stood up. “I will go and tell the director we are leaving. At this hour, I doubt they will film your part.”

The moment she finished her sentence, the film crew shouted towards them, “Mu Sheng, it’s your turn!”

“Okay. We are coming,” replied Tang Tiantian hurriedly.

Mu Sheng stood up and headed towards the filming location.

“Arrange the props. Mu Sheng, we just need you to do a few poses. You can leave the rest to our professional stunt double,” said Director Yang as he instructed his employees to set up the props.

Mu Sheng’s part in the drama was a girl called Gu Li. She was a proud rebellious girl who loved danger and thrill.

Hence, the first time she appeared on the show, she made an entrance riding a heavy motorcycle with the night sky in the background.
