Embarrassed, Su Jiu giggled as she spoke.
Her words pleased Rong Si. “Good girl. There can’t be any intimate scenes either.”
“Of course. Auntie Han has already arranged a substitute for me. I don’t have to do all the intimate scenes personally. You should be relieved now, right?”
“No, I’m still worried.”
“Why?”
“I’ll be unless … you’re in front of my eyes at all times. Unless I can see you whenever I want. That’s the only way I can relax.”
Su Jiu smiled again. “Sure. When you make a lot of money, I won’t have to work. Then, I can just be a little rice bug by your side.”
Rong Si laughed. He knew she was just encouraging him. In reality, with her qualifications, why would she need to make money?
Still, he had to keep trying. To be the one truly worthy of her.

The next day, Su Jiu arrived at the set. At the same time, the male lead, Xia Yi, alighted from the trailer and saw her.
It happened to be morning. The morning light fell on the girl’s hair and her body, seemingly giving her a faint halo. Her fair face looked especially delicate. She saw the actor too and smiled at him politely. Her lips were red, and her teeth were white. With her white dress, she did look like… a little angel.
Xia Yi could not help but take a few more glances at her. He had been in this industry for a long time, and it was not as if he had never seen a beautiful girl before. However, very few people were like Su Jiu, who looked good even without makeup. Moreover, she gave off an aura that made people instantly like her.
He walked toward her, extending his hand in a friendly gesture. “Hello, I’m Xia Yi. Nice to meet you.”
She looked up at him.
The person in front of her was in his early twenties. His face was quite handsome, and he looked elegant in a simple shirt and pants. He was undoubtedly a young hunk. Moreover, not only was he good-looking but his acting skills were also rumored to be excellent. He had become popular while filming his first movie, and many netizens had praised his acting skills. They said that these new actors had a promising future.
“Hello, I’m Su Jiu.” Su Jiu smiled at him and did not shake his hand. “I’m sorry, but I have a boyfriend. Please understand. He doesn’t like me shaking hands with other boys.”
Xia Yi was stunned. So she has a boyfriend?
He thought about it carefully. It made sense. It had probably trended on the hot topics before, but he couldn’t remember much about it.
He didn’t mind. Withdrawing his hand, he smiled. “All right, then. You must be very close. He cares for you, doesn’t he?”
Then he quickly apologized. “I’m sorry, I seem to be asking too much. This is a private matter. I shouldn’t be asking.”
Su Jiu smiled. “It doesn’t matter.”
At this moment, the director walked over and looked at the two of them. He smiled in satisfaction. “How is it? Do you know each other now? You can chat first and get to know each other better. When it’s time to film, you might be able to focus better.”
Xia Yi cleared his throat. “Got it.”
“Alright, you guys keep chatting first. I’ll get back to work.” The director left the two of them where they were. He had an idea in mind. After leaving, he told the cameraman to take a few more photos of Su Jiu and Xia Yi so that they could hype up the couple and increase the popularity of the show.
Although Xia Yi did not intend to develop any feelings for Su Jiu as the director had said, he still chatted with her to get closer to her.
Embarrassed, Su Jiu giggled as she spoke.
