Chapter 125 The Controlling Actor 7 (2/2)

Director Xu hesitated, glancing at Zi Xi and casting a disdainful look at Mo Jinnian.

Mo Jinnian's pursuit of the person was so blatant that the entire crew noticed.

The stagehand secretly created a group chat with the name: "Did Teacher Mo win over Teacher Zhao today?"

Group chat history:

Makeup Artist A: [Teacher Mo brought breakfast for Zixi again today, and Teacher Zhao gave it away without even looking at it.]

Lighting Technician B: [But Teacher Mo is actually laughing even more heartily? Does he have some kind of peculiar fetish?]

Assistant Director C: [You guys don't understand, this is called the "High-Class Beauty Conquest Plan"—the harder she is to win over, the more addictive it becomes.]

The onlookers commented: Isn't "a flower on a high mountain" a phrase that often appears when describing Teacher Mo?

Even Director Xu couldn't help but tease Mo Jinnian during a break: "Jinnian, isn't your way of pursuing someone a little too direct?"

Mo Jinnian rested his chin on his hand, looking completely innocent: "Really? I was just seriously studying the character interactions."

Director Xu: "I don't believe you for a second."

Zi Xi was not unaware of Mo Jinnian's thoughts, but she simply did not want to respond.

Therefore, her strategy was to remain completely indifferent.

Mo Jinnian sent her food, which she then gave away.

Mo Jinnian greeted her with a smile, she nodded, and then left immediately.

When Mo Jinnian asked her to rehearse a scene, she went directly to the director.

Mo Jinnian was not without grievances.

Having been adored by everyone since childhood, when had he ever experienced such cold treatment?

The dating tips online sound very convincing, with things like playing hard to get and how distance makes the heart grow fonder.

Let him give it a try!

On the third day after he deliberately disappeared from Zi Xi's vicinity, he deliberately took a detour past the rest area that Zi Xi often frequented.

Then they saw the second male lead standing next to Zi Xi, holding the same thermos cup as her, and saying something that made her eyes crinkle with joy.

That thermos!

It's clearly a limited edition from a brand he endorses!

What's even more disheartening is that Zi Xi actually accepted the script handed to her by the other party, and the two of them started discussing it with their heads close together.

The distance was so close... When Mo Jinnian tried to get that close last time, Zi Xi dodged him with a sidestep.

"Teacher Mo?"

"You look terrible...Are you feeling unwell?"

The stagehand looked at him with a puzzled expression as he squeezed the deformed can.

Mo Jinnian turned around stiffly, his mind filled with the smiling faces of the second male lead and Zi Xi.

This isn't just giving them the cold shoulder, it's practically offering warmth to their love rival!!

Zi Xi thought this would make him back down, but she underestimated Mo Jinnian's persistence.

Unexpectedly, after only two or three days of peace, Mo Jinnian might make a comeback.

The plot reached a point where the female lead, played by Zi Xi, broke down in tears in the rain, displaying an extremely strong emotional outburst.

During filming, Zi Xi was soaked in sweat and had to do it again and again until Director Xu called "cut".

She stood shivering in the rain, while the staff were busy preparing for the next performance, and no one noticed her condition.

Suddenly, a dry coat was draped over her shoulders.

Zi Xi looked up and met Mo Jin Nian's worried gaze.

"Teacher Zhao, go change your clothes first, don't catch a cold."

His voice was soft, but it left no room for refusal.

Zi Xi was stunned.

This was the first time she didn't push him away.

After that night, Zi Xi's attitude subtly changed.

She also felt that constantly refusing wasn't a good idea, and since filming was almost over anyway, she decided to make the most of this limited time and coexist peacefully with Mo Jinnian.

But they should never be alone together.

From then on, when Mo Jinnian delivered breakfast, she no longer gave it away to others, but ate it silently.

When Mo Jinnian asked her to rehearse a scene, she still kept a cold expression, but she cooperated seriously.

On one occasion, when Mo Jinnian handed her a cup of hot milk tea, she whispered, "...Thank you."

Mo Jinnian almost thought he was hallucinating.

Zi Xi smiled slightly, then turned and left.

Mo Jinnian stood there, stunned for two seconds, before suddenly realizing what was happening.

Teacher Zhao just... smiled at him, didn't she?

As the internet says, it's true: a simp who keeps licking his boots will eventually get everything he wants!
