In the bamboo forest, Gao Shengxi, dressed in green, was playing the zither in a pavilion with his long hair fluttering in the wind. Shen Qianqian, dressed in an elegant red traditional costume, was dancing in the forest with a sword.
Leaves fell from the sky, complementing the scene in front of them. It was beautiful.
"Good, this scene is very emotional." The director sat in front of the camera and nodded in satisfaction. He then stood up and said to Gao Shengxi and Shen Qianqian, "Let's do it again. Take a close-up."
"Okay, let's do it." The director saw that Shen Qianqian and Gao Shengxi's emotions were in place, so he immediately waved his hand and continued to direct the crew to operate and shoot in an orderly manner.
After a whole morning of shooting, the progress was much faster than expected. Director Chen nodded in satisfaction and said, "Okay, let's shoot two more scenes. Let's take a break first."
The next two scenes were relatively small and were easily shot, so Director Chen asked everyone to sit down and rest for a while.
Gao Shengxi's assistant whispered a few words in his ear, and a few people came in to distribute the things sent by the fans to the cast and crew.
Shen Qianqian sat on the chair to rest. Assistant Jun took the fruits and other things from the staff and turned to smile at her. "You've gained weight on the set recently. Sister Qianqian, don't tell me that the actors in our set are not only good-looking and good at acting, they also have a lot of fans."
Shen Qianqian closed her eyes and listened to her. She opened the box and ate as she said, "The day before yesterday, our fans sent food. Today, Best Actor Gao's fans sent food again. I wonder who it will be the day after tomorrow."
"Don't think about it. There shouldn't be anyone after that." Shen Qianqian tilted her head slightly and smiled. "That's because the fans specially chose these few days to visit the set. Otherwise, Director Chen wouldn't let these things affect the filming."
"Affect? Aren't the fans very polite? They didn't disturb us, "Assistant Jun replied casually.
"Sigh, okay, just eat your food. How can you think the same as the director?" Shen Qianqian smiled helplessly and sat up.
"Sister Qianqian, your phone is ringing," Assistant Jun said as she handed the phone to Shen Qianqian.
Shen Qianqian took the phone and unlocked it to take a look.
Assistant Jun was stunned when she saw Shen Qianqian and asked, "Sister Qianqian, what's wrong?"
"Oh, it's nothing." Shen Qianqian smiled and shook her head. She then looked down at the message on her phone.
Mo Yanfan said that he had returned from abroad and that he had brought back an old friend that she hadn't seen in a long time.
Shen Qianqian couldn't remember who this old friend was. She patted her head lightly and felt that her brain couldn't work properly after she got pregnant. It was good enough that she could remember her lines every day. She really couldn't remember anything else.
Shen Qianqian sighed slightly. She didn't have an appetite and didn't want to eat anything, so she opened her phone and glanced at Weibo in boredom.
However, after a few glances, she subconsciously sat up straight.
She suspected that she had seen wrongly and took a closer look at the words on the screen. She really hadn't seen wrongly. Guan Di really had returned to the country.
In the photos taken by the media, Guan Di still had the same aura as before. She was wearing a long trench coat, a pair of high-heeled boots, and a pair of black sunglasses. Her hair was tied up. Perhaps it was because of the strong wind outside, a lot of her hair was blown down and fell on her face.
Shen Qianqian didn't know why, but when she looked at the photo, she felt that she seemed to have lost a lot of weight. She was slightly different from her previous impression of her.
Before Shen Qianqian could think of a reason, the phone in her hand vibrated again. Then, she saw that Mo Yanfan had sent another message, saying that they would be free to have dinner together on the weekend.
Shen Qianqian calculated the days. She really was free that night, so she agreed.
On Sunday night, Gu Hecheng drove Shen Qianqian and Xiao Kong to Mo Yanfan's villa.
When the doorbell rang, Mo Yanfan personally came out to open the door. Shen Qianqian saw that he smiled at Gu Hecheng and then hurried them in.
After Shen Qianqian entered, she didn't even have time to greet Mo Yanfan's parents before she saw a tall and thin figure. She was shocked.
Shen Qianqian looked over. That woman wasn't just anyone. It was Guan Di, who had returned from abroad, reported in the news a few days ago. She was stunned for a moment. Her gaze moved back and forth between Guan Di and Mo Yanfan.
After a while, she reacted. First, she greeted Mo Yanfan's parents. Then, Guan Di took the initiative to greet her. Then, the two of them sat in a corner of the living room and started chatting.
"Qianqian, I'm so sorry." Guan Di lowered her head slightly and said apologetically, "When you contacted me during that period of time, I was really …"
"Where's Xiao Hong?" Shen Qianqian saw that her eyes were a little red when she lowered her head. Coupled with her tone of voice, she didn't know why but her heart tightened. She actually had a bad feeling.
"Why didn't he come back with you?" Shen Qianqian's voice was a little trembling. She seemed to understand something in her heart, but there was also a little doubt in her voice. "You didn't contact me. Could it be that …"
Shen Qianqian saw that Guan Di's head seemed to be hanging lower and lower. She shook her head in disbelief and said, "No way. You're lying to me. Maybe Xiao Hong is with …"
Originally, Shen Qianqian wanted to comfort herself. Could Guan Di have found that heartless man and given the child to him? Or could she have left Guan Hong alone abroad in order to return to China, just like before?
But no matter what, it was much better than this depressing silence.
However, Guan Di didn't give Shen Qianqian another chance to deceive herself. She seemed to have made a great decision. Finally, she raised her head and said in a slightly trembling voice with grief in her eyes, "Xiao Hong is gone."
Guan Di sighed and lowered her head again. Her hands trembled as she clasped them together. "So during that period of time, I …"
At this time, Guan Di didn't have the threatening aura she had in the photo at all. It was simply heartbreaking to look at her. Shen Qianqian hurriedly held her hand and said, "I know. Don't say anymore. Don't say anymore. I know you're in pain. I'm sorry. I shouldn't have asked."
Hearing this, Guan Di shook her head with a bitter smile and said, "It's okay."
Shen Qianqian looked at Guan Di and took a deep breath. She patted her shoulder comfortingly. Suddenly, she seemed to have thought of something and said, "By the way, how did you come back with my cousin?"
"That's …" Guan Di paused. Finally, she slowly recovered her emotions. She raised her head slightly and said to her, "I met him abroad."
Shen Qianqian looked at her with a puzzled expression. It was as if she couldn't understand how the two of them met abroad.
Guan Di seemed to be able to read her mind. She shook her head slightly and said, "It's quite a coincidence."
"That's true. It's so big abroad. How did we meet?" Guan Di recalled. "Because I was immersed in grief at that time. Later, I couldn't take it anymore, so I went out for a walk. There are many artists abroad who also perform on the streets. "
After Guan Di recalled that period of time, the expression on her face gradually brightened up, just like her mood. She slowly became more cheerful.
"After that, I felt that doing that would make me very happy, so I often hung out with them. Then, one day, I met your cousin." When Guan Di talked about what happened that day, the corner of her mouth inadvertently hung a smile.
Shen Qianqian was stunned. She felt that the atmosphere was a little strange, so she turned her head to look. She actually saw Mo Yanfan looking in their direction.
Shen Qianqian slowly turned her head. She didn't know why, but she suddenly remembered that when she first came back and lived here with Guan Di, she felt that the way Mo Yanfan looked at Guan Di was different. Perhaps this encounter wasn't a coincidence?
With this thought in mind, she turned her head to look at Mo Yanfan again. The more she looked at him, the more she felt that it was possible. After thinking about it, she turned her head and tried to lower her voice to ask, "My cousin and you can't be …"
Guan Di was stunned at first. Then, she saw the meaningful smile on her face. She immediately shook her head and said, "No, we're not in that kind of relationship. You've been misunderstood."
"Friends. We're just friends." Guan Di seemed to be afraid that she wouldn't believe her and hurriedly explained.
Shen Qianqian pursed her lips. She smiled slightly and didn't say anything else.
Gu Hecheng and Mo Yanfan were probably done chatting. Then, he took the initiative to call Shen Qianqian over for dinner.
"Yes, I'm coming." Shen Qianqian stood up and pulled Guan Di along. Then, the whole family sat down at the dining table.
"Qianqian, eat more. Look at how thin you've become. " Mo Yanfan's mother looked at Shen Qianqian's thin face and picked up a piece of rib for her. Then, she turned her head and said enthusiastically, "Miss Guan, eat more too."
Shen Qianqian smiled and took it. She didn't notice that Gu Hecheng was looking at her with narrowed eyes.
"Miss Guan, don't be embarrassed. Since you're Guan Di's good friend, you should come over often." Mo Yanfan's mother spoke enthusiastically to Guan Di and was very close to her.
Guan Di could also feel Mo Yanfan's excessive enthusiasm. She smiled a little awkwardly and nodded. Mo Yanfan, who was sitting at the side, seemed to know everything. She lowered her head and ate quietly.
After dinner, Shen Qianqian didn't stay long because she had to go to the filming site early the next day. She went back early with Gu Hecheng and Xiao Kong.
On the way back, Xiao Kong was sleepy. He leaned against Shen Qianqian's leg and fell asleep. Shen Qianqian wasn't sleepy at all. She looked at Gu Hecheng's back and said, "Why aren't you talking? You're a little serious. What's wrong with you?"
