Chapter 36 part 3

The shooting pace of “Crimson” is much tighter than that of “Chasing the Light”. They start filming in the morning, and in the afternoon, the actors begin changing clothes and doing makeup to prepare for the evening scenes.

Therefore, after staying on the set for a while, Huang Qiongyi reluctantly left.

While doing makeup, Yun Feiwu lowered her head and looked at the script on her phone. Suddenly, she saw a photo sent by Huang Qiongyi, which was a group photo taken at noon.

In the photo, she, Huang Qiongyi, and Ouyang Chao were all smiling.

The previous group photo where they were smiling together is from many years ago, back when Xia Ruan was still around. Whenever they took photos, it had become a habit for Yun Feiwu to bury her head behind Xia Ruan’s shoulder.

She thought it over and decided to forward all the photos to Xia Shutong.

…

After leaving Yun Feiwu’s house, Xia Shutong was filled with a sense of euphoria.

In the photos, Yun Feiwu always wears a gentle and warm smile, unlike her usual indifferent demeanor towards others.

So, who are these two people? Do they have a close relationship with Yun Feiwu?

Xia Shutong typed out a message, “Who are they?”

After some thought, she felt something was not quite right.

Although Yun Feiwu had often exchanged photos with her before, this was the first time she had taken a selfie. So, could there be some other meaning behind it?

So she opened the search bar and asked, “What does it mean when a girlfriend sends me photos?”

Even though they’re not officially boyfriend and girlfriend yet, but its pretty close.

[Best answer: When you receive a sudden selfie from your girlfriend, regardless of where the photo was taken or what the background looks like, there is only one purpose behind her sending you that photo: she wants you to compliment her appearance. Especially when she sends photos of herself with others, you must not compliment those other people. If you don’t know the people in the photo, you mustn’t immediately ask her who they are. Instead, you should first compliment her looks.]

As Xia Shutong read this, her hand trembled and her eyes blinked involuntarily.

Her demeanor instantly became timid and frightened.

She casually opened several similar posts, finding that their contents were quite similar. There was even a post by a guy who said that because he didn’t compliment his girlfriend for being beautiful, they ended up having a big fight and breaking up.

And there was an even more absurd incident, where a girl sent her boyfriend a photo of herself with her best friend. However, the boyfriend started lavishly praising the best friend, which eventually led to a physical fight between the couple.

From these posts, Xia Shutong grasped an important point:

When a girlfriend suddenly sends her own photos, especially ones with others, she wants to be praised!

Although Yun Feiwu definitely wouldn’t get angry with her over something like this, she still felt uncomfortable due to her lack of understanding and a hint of insecurity.

After some thinking, she weakly closed the browser and immediately opened WeChat, adding a message: “Yun Feiwu, your photos look really good.”

However, after sending it, she felt some regret and a sense of defeat.

It seems like she isn’t really good at complimenting others.

On New Year’s Eve, she called Yun Feiwu. Although she clearly wanted to say that she was looking forward to Yun Feiwu’s new work, when the words actually came out, it felt particularly awkward.

And this time, she just dryly said, “It looks good.”

Would this level of praise backfire?

She didn’t dare to cancel or retract her message. She anxiously stared at the screen, waiting for Yun Feiwu’s reply.

…

On the set.

While applying mascara, Yun Feiwu closed her eyes for a moment. When she opened them again, she found that Xia Shutong had sent two more messages.

The two words “It looks good” seemed to have hit Yun Feiwu’s funny bone, instantly bringing a smile to her face.

Xia Shutong has never been good at expressing her emotions, so when it comes to love, she’s soft, but also truly naive. The previous Xia Ruan was like this too, always trying to squeeze out a few compliments for her.

However, while it may be seen as awkward by others, in her eyes, it is clumsy, sincere, and adorable.

She glanced at Ou Yangchao, whose makeup was particularly intricate. He probably still needed some time to finish, while she was almost done. So Yun Feiwu turned and asked, “Jie, can I make a phone call?”

“Go ahead,” the makeup artist casually asked, “are you contacting your boyfriend?”

“No,” She shook her head. “The boss of the company is checking up on us.”

“Oh, I see…” The hairstyling and makeup artist looked at Yun Feiwu’s figure, shaking their heads with pity.

Who is Yun Feiwu’s boss? Xia Shutong.

And who in the industry doesn’t know about Xia Shutong’s infamous reputation?

Even for shooting a small web drama, she personally called to check up on things. Yun Feiwu’s days in Wutong were really tough.

…

As the phone rang, Xia Shutong glanced nervously at Qian Lingling, then pretended to remain calm and walked towards the corridor while holding her phone.

With a slight hint of nervousness, the phone was answered, “Is this Yun Feiwu?”

Xia Shutong’s voice was soft, but in the empty, deserted corridor, it still echoed slightly.

As a result, her nervousness grew even stronger.

“President Xia,” Yun Feiwu’s voice remained the same, slightly lowered, and with a clear undertone of flirtatiousness, “It’s been a while, I’ve missed you.”
