Moonlight falls into my arms

People were passing by, and some were wondering how the two knew each other.

This is Zhao Manman's first time on set, and Ruan Li is usually not very outgoing.

"Was that your boyfriend who just gave it to you?"

Ruan Li nodded.

The two of them walked inside at the same time.

Zhao Manman laughed: "I just saw it, your boyfriend seems to be much older than you."

Ruan Li was certain that she must have recognized Jiang Yuci.

She really didn't understand what Zhao Manman meant, so she could only smile and remain silent.

"Sister Manman, we need to go over there."

The assistant standing next to Zhao Manman reminded her.

Instead of being angry, Zhao Manman laughed and said, "Why don't you ride in my car?"

"Huh?" Ruan Li asked, pulling her suitcase.

“You used to take the bus chartered by the film crew, which was very uncomfortable. Why don’t you take my car instead?”

Ruan Li looked at her, "But we don't know each other."

"I find you very pleasing to the eye," Zhao Manman said, smiling at her.

That laugh sent chills down Ruan Li's spine.

"Thank you, but no need. I'll sit in the seat the director assigned."

Ruan Li seemed afraid that she would get entangled with him, so he pulled his suitcase and walked much faster in the other direction.

Zhao Manman stood there, watching her fleeing figure, her teeth clenched tightly.

She saw it, she saw it all; Jiang Yuci personally brought her here.

That day, Jiang Yuci took the initiative to add her as a friend, and all her happiness turned into a joke, because Jiang Yuci didn't come for her at all.

It was just for a book that had a picture of the person he liked.

Zhao Manman, followed by bodyguards and assistants, got into her Mercedes-Benz and picked up a thick book, about the size of a palm, from the car.

It's a collection of Adonis's works. She got this book from Li Zhu and discovered Jiang Yuci's secret.

Perhaps, besides Jiang Yuci, only she knows this in the world.

There was a photo of a girl inside.

Zhao Manman cried all night and couldn't muster the energy to do anything for a month. She even became too lazy to maintain her relationship with Li Zhu and directly admitted that she had lied to him for Jiang Yuci's sake.

She followed Jiang Yuci for a long time and asked his classmates before finally confirming that this girl was not seen with Jiang Yuci.

At that moment, she felt like she had used up all her luck on this one thing. Although he had someone he liked before, he was now all alone.

Zhao Manman mustered all her courage before standing in front of him and uttering the words she had kept hidden for so long.

But all I got in return was the reply—I don't know how to be in a relationship, and I don't like you.

Zhao Manman thought that perhaps he just hadn't forgotten that person yet, so she said she could be friends with him first.

But even this small wish of hers could not be fulfilled.

So much time has passed since then that she almost thought she had forgotten it all.

Even years later, when you meet the person who makes your heart flutter, you will still be moved by that simple, blurry figure.

She recognized him at first glance as the one who had captured her heart.

Running her fingertips over the figure in the photo, Zhao Manman stared at the girl's features: "You like her that much? She's dead, and you still need to find a substitute."

"Sister Manman?" The assistant next to her looked timid, wondering what this woman was talking to herself about.

It's like being possessed by a ghost.

Zhao Manman smiled, a slight curve to her lips: "Do you know that person from just now?"

The assistant thought carefully for a moment and then said, "No, I don't know."

Zhao Manman still smiled, but her voice was stern: "Then why don't you go down and find out?"

The assistant nodded: "Okay, I'll go right away."

About twenty minutes later, the bus chartered by the film crew started to depart.

The assistant also asked for clarification before getting into the car and told Zhao Manman, "She's an art director, and I heard that Director Cao personally requested her."

What is her relationship with Director Cao?

The assistant hesitated for a moment: "I heard... it's that kind of relationship, but I don't know for sure, since she has a boyfriend."

"So what if she has a boyfriend? I've seen plenty of girls like her, all of them are after fame and fortune." Zhao Manman laughed, "That's fine."

"She's the one who didn't bring a resume that day, but was still let in anyway, the one you looked at for a long time."

The assistant observed Zhao Manman's expression and, seeing that she didn't change, continued, "It seems that she didn't even go to university. Because she's young, someone in the group asked her if she was still in school, and she said she wasn't."

Zhao Manman chuckled: "Does he really only like that face?"

"Achoo!" Ruan Li rubbed her nose, wondering why she kept sneezing today.

I sent a message to Jiang Yu.

- It must be because you've been thinking about me that I keep sneezing.

Ruan Li didn't receive a reply from Jiang Yuci first, but she saw Zhao Manman's friend request first.

She sat in the last row of the bus, looking at the messages on her phone, somewhat hesitant.

What is Zhao Manman trying to do by adding her?

A voice suddenly came from the side: "Zhao Manman is adding you, what are you hesitating for?"

"Um...Teacher Yin, how come you saw my phone...?"

Teacher Yin is a middle-aged man with frameless glasses, but he has shoulder-length curly hair and a beard, which fits the stereotypical image of an artist.

"I saw it with just a casual glance."

Ruan Li accepted the friend request, and the other person greeted her warmly first.

"hello."

Ruan Li coldly replied with a "hello," and that was it.

Teacher Yin then subtly inquired, "Do you know Zhao Manman?"

Ruan Li shook her head: "I wouldn't say we know each other, we've just met a few times."

"You know quite a lot of people. Director Cao personally requested you, and now Zhao Manman is adding you on her own. Tsk tsk, you can't compare."

Ruan Li understood that his words implied that she had gotten the position through connections, and since she was a rank lower than him, she could only obediently shut up.

Cheng Yu sat in the back seat of the car, talking on the phone with his father, looking displeased: "Why would I go with them if they're not filming? I'd just be wasting my time, I don't know anything about it."

The voice on the other end cursed: "What do you know? Even if you're just playing around, you have to follow them. It's because your mother spoiled you in the past, letting you stay at home all day doing nothing. Now you'd better start from the bottom and work your way up!"

"Tsk, then you might as well just kill me." Cheng Yu moved his phone away as if he had a premonition, and sure enough, a string of curses came from the phone.

"I'll kill you when you get back!"

Cheng Yu found it annoying and hung up the phone.

"You let me go? Fine, I'll go and cause trouble!" Cheng Yu recalled the time when the assistant director brought him several paintings to choose from, and he should have said from the beginning that he was not satisfied with any of them.

Let his father know that he's simply not cut out for this kind of work.

Along with the crew bus arrived, Zhao Manman's Mercedes-Benz followed by her RV.

Zhao Manman got out of the car and noticed a Cullinan behind her. She frowned and asked, "Who's that?"

This time, they're filming a script featuring her and the female lead, so theoretically, there's no one with a higher billing than her.

The assistant next to him couldn't come back and was so anxious that he broke out in a sweat.

The Cullinan stopped and the door opened.

A boy dressed in a plain black t-shirt and trousers, wearing a black baseball cap and headphones around his neck, came down. He was focused on the game in his hands and looked arrogant, as if he didn't want strangers to approach him and even less likely to get close to acquaintances.

The assistant director walked past Zhao Manman and asked, "Mr. Cheng, what brings you here?"

"Let's see if you cut corners." Cheng Yu looked up from her phone. "Oh, didn't I choose a painting last time? Was it accepted?"

The assistant director was speechless for a moment, not expecting that this pampered young master, who only knew how to play all day, would suddenly remember this matter.

Can we say that Director Cao didn't take his words seriously at all? Of course not.

He said after careful consideration, "After you made your choice, Director Cao also saw it and said that you made a good choice, so he used your choice."

The assistant director was trembling with fear, hoping that this person was really like Director Cao had said, completely forgetting which one he had chosen.

Cheng Yu raised an eyebrow. He had originally wanted to find fault, but he didn't expect that these people would actually listen to him.

He barely glanced at it back then, what did he know?

"Oh, that's fine." He replied perfunctorily, "When you're filming, just take a few photos for me and send them to me."

Cheng Yu patted his shoulder: "I'll just do it for you. You can pat me however you want."

The assistant director couldn't be happier; he was practically beaming with joy. He wasn't afraid of being left alone; he was just afraid of being too involved.

"Okay, okay, you can just rest at the hotel and play some games. We'll definitely live up to your expectations and take the best photos. I'll send you the photos on WeChat later."
