Chapter 254 Joining the Group

"Brother!!! Please open the door, I'll never pretend again." Ruan Huai forced out a few tears, trying to gain Lu Yan's sympathy.

At that moment, the door was suddenly opened, and Ruan Huai thought his brother had softened his heart.

She pinched her thigh hard, trying to make her crying more convincing.

"Brother! I know I was wrong." But all he saw was his golden retriever standing at the door, his phone in its mouth.

The little golden retriever quickly placed his phone on the steps and then ruthlessly closed the door.

Ruan Huai: "......"

This is the extent of our family bond. Ruan Huai wiped away the few tears he had squeezed out and prepared to stay in a nearby apartment for a while.

He turned around but accidentally bumped into someone, but luckily the other person pulled him back.

"Lele, what brings you here?"

Having gone through thick and thin together, Ruan Huai and Chen Jiale have forged an unbreakable friendship.

"Oh... Yun-ge told me to come and see you. Your brother said you're on a hunger strike and preparing to die."

Ruan Huai: "..." It's not that serious.

"Did Brother Yun say anything else to you?" Ruan Huai still harbored a sliver of hope, and when he heard that Shen Ruoyun had sent Chen Jiale, he quickly asked.

"No, he just told me to come and see you so you can eat properly."

Upon hearing this, Ruan Huai's eyes drooped, his hopes utterly dashed.

"Oh..." Ruan Huai responded, his head hanging low, looking even more dejected. "Lele..."

Chen Jiale knew that Ruan Huai was extremely heartbroken, so he patted his shoulder with some sympathy and comforted him, "It's okay, keep looking, you'll always find someone better."

Hearing Chen Jiale's words of comfort, Ruan Huai burst into tears and buried her face in Chen Jiale's arms.

"Lele, my life is so miserable!!!"

Chen Jiale's lips twitched, and he reached out to push Ruan Huai. Noticing his action, Ruan Huai looked up at him.

"What's wrong? Are you going to abandon me too?"

Chen Jiale held his breath, but finally couldn't help but say, "Xiao Huai, how long has it been since you took a shower? You smell a bit."

Ruan Huai raised his hand and sniffed it, then pouted, "I'm just heartbroken."

"Uh..." Chen Jiale was a little unsure of what to say, thinking to himself that this seemed to be unrequited love, a failed confession.

"Lele, do you believe in love?"

Chen Jiale was at a loss for words when asked that question. He generally avoided things like love, which he considered dirty.

"Yes, I'm generally a Buddhist."

Ruan Huai: "..."

"Lele, treat me to ice cream, I want something sweet," Ruan Huai said, letting go of Chen Jiale.

Chen Jiale didn't expect him to change so quickly; this person's self-healing ability is truly extraordinary.

"Go take a bath and change your clothes first, then I'll invite you for a drink."

Upon hearing this, Ruan Huai immediately thought of a scene from a TV drama: when you're heartbroken, you have to drink.

"Thank you for being with me, you are my best friend!" she said, and immediately hugged Chen Jiale again.

Chen Jiale felt a little helpless, thinking that the task Shen Ruoyun had assigned him was not easy to handle.

But thinking about the 10,000 yuan transfer, I didn't say anything. There's nothing I can do when you're poor and lack ambition.

He reached out and patted Ruan Huai on the back of the head, continuing to prepare to comfort him.

"Lele, why don't you talk to me?" Ruan Huai looked up at Chen Jiale with unusual sincerity.

Chen Jiale: "......"

She pushed Ruan Huai away subtly, her body trembled, and she quickly refused.

"What nonsense are you talking about? I'm an omega, how can I talk to you about that?"

Ruan Huai thought about it and realized that it was true. His parents only had him as their child, and if he were to marry an omega, the Ruan family line would end.

He still needs to find an alpha like Shen Ruojun.

"Do you think Yun-ge rejected me because I suddenly confessed my feelings to him?"

I looked it up online, and some people are at a loss after being confessed to, and then they subconsciously reject the confession.

If that's the case, should I try pursuing Yun-ge again? What if he changes his mind?

Chen Jiale didn't know why he was still thinking about these things. "Don't think so much. When the time is right, it will come naturally."

Ruan Huai nodded thoughtfully after listening to Chen Jiale's words.

"But I don't want to give up like this, Lele, I want to try again."

Chen Jiale looked helpless, but didn't know what to say. "It's up to you. Just be happy."

……

It was time for Shen Ruoyun to bring her bucket to the set again, just in time for the opening ceremony.

After offering incense and receiving red envelopes, a group of actors began reading the script together.

The earlier scenes were mostly filmed at the film studio; location shooting would have to be scheduled separately.

The movie is called "Lost City". It tells the story of a man named Zhou Ji, who was born in the State of Heng and came from a prestigious family.

However, because the Zhou family had been so prosperous for generations, they were feared by the current emperor.

The Zhou family produced mostly civil officials, but also a famous military general, Zhou Yan, the father of Zhou Ji.

Zhou Yan believed that although Heng State was wealthy, it valued literature over military affairs, while the surrounding states had strong military forces.

They were eyeing Heng State covetously, so Zhou Yan wrote to the emperor requesting that he pay attention to the development of military strength, but he was impeached by the civil officials in the court for having treasonous intentions.

The emperor was already wary, and with the eunuchs whispering in his ear, he listened to their slander and ordered the execution of the entire Zhou family.

Zhou Ji was about six or seven years old when he escaped with the help of his wet nurse who risked her life to protect him.

Before her death, his wet nurse gave him a jade pendant, instructing a bodyguard to risk his life to deliver him to the royal family of a neighboring country, which saved his life.

However, without the protection of her family, although she did not suffer from hunger or cold in the Wang family, she was not valued much and was sometimes even bullied by her peers.

Fortunately, he lived up to expectations and joined the army in his teens, becoming the youngest general.

Shen Ruoyun and the others were reading together. It was Chen Jiale's first time playing such an important role, and he was extremely serious. He would ask Shen Ruoyun for advice from time to time.

The other actors were also very dedicated, never being late, and raising any opinions on the spot. The screenwriter and director would also join in the discussions with the actors.

After finishing their work, Shen Ruoyun and Chen Jiale quickly packed up their things and ran to get their boxed lunches.

Yuan Yun had already given Shen Ruoyun a heads-up.

He had expected it to be terrible, but when he opened the package, he found the food was actually quite good, and there was even fruit.

"Brother Yun, this one is not bad."

Chen Jiale frantically shoveled rice into his mouth, picked up a piece of meat and put it in his mouth, eating with great joy, his face almost buried in the lunchbox.

Chen Jiale's agent, who was standing not far away, quickly turned his face away when he saw him like this, unable to bear to look at him.
