272: A Box

A Box

The moment Yi Tian was chased out, the cameraman started to take photos of Ruan Zeyan, Ling Tianya, and Gu Zhiqian.1

Ling Tianya and GU Zhiqian both understood why Ruan Zeyan came that day when they saw the cameras.

Rather than getting Gu Zhiqian to clarify he and Ling Tianya's relationship on Weibo, it was far more effective and convincing for Ruan Zeyan to come to visit them, showing the harmonious relationship between Gu Zhiqian, Ling Tianya, and Ruan Zeyan.

Ruan Zeyan still had a meeting in the afternoon and did not stay long.

Very quickly, photos of Ruan Zeyan coming to visit Ling Tianya while she was at work spread. He intimately held Ling Tianya by his side with Gu Zhiqian sitting opposite to them. The three of them were talking about anything and everything right on the film set. The photo clearly showed the table and tonics that Gu Zhiqian had posted online.

Those keyboard warriors had disappeared like magic, and the mess was settled by Ruan Zeyan.

Yi Tian looked at how peaceful everything was online. She wasn't too happy about it. Ling Tianya was sitting in the middle of the two most desired men on the planet. One of them was her was fiancee, and the other had a special relationship with her.

Yi Tian could still recall Ruan Zeyan saying "Clear out all the irrelevant people." She felt like a beggar. She wanted desperately to join their world, but she was chased away heartlessly.

That burned bright on her cheeks.

Li Fei brought over some bird's nest soup then. "Yi Tian, drink some soup."

Yi Tian looked at her bowl and felt that things were extremely ironic. The day before filming started, she told Li Fei to prepare bird's nest soup for her every day. She had wanted to eat it in front of everyone.

Yi Tian had climbed up the ranks through her acting skills, and she'd seen her own fair share of glares towards her on sets. The soup wasn't just soup, it was a status symbol. She was using it to tell everyone on the production crew that she was of high social standing.

Ling Tianya's table displayed bird's nest soup too, and her soup was even higher quality. Not just that, she had a whole array of expensive tonics. They were sent by Ruan Zeyan's men every afternoon and were fresh and warm. Ling Tianya didn't even spare all those things a look and only focused on her work. She doesn't care at all if Gu Zhiqian ate it all.

Yi Tian suddenly felt that she was just a joke compared to Ling Tianya. She was just the counterfeit version of another person.

When Li Fei followed Yi Tian's instructions to bring the bird's nest soup, all Yi Tian felt was a harsh burning on her face. "Take it away, I don't want it."

"But…" Li Fei started to argue, then thought to herself, "Aren't you the one that asked me to bring it for you every day?"

"I said I don't want it! Pour it out!" Yi Tian said in irritation.

Seeing Yi Tian get angry out of the blue, Li Fei could only do what she asked. She put the cover on, leaving it for her to eat later. She didn't want to waste it.

"Where's Senior Gu? Have you seen him?" Yi Tian asked. The male and female leads weren't involved in the current scene, so Gu Zhiqian's been missing in action too.

"I haven't seen him." Li Fei shook her head.

Yi Tian thought for a while, before leaving her seat with the script in her hands.

"Where are you going?" Li Fei asked.

"To practice with Senior Gu." Yi Tian answered, rushing away.

Yi Tian went to the prop-house, seeing a few of the people in charge of the props locking up the boxes nervously. She walked forwards, softly asking them, "May I know if you've seen Gu Zhiqian?"

The few people clearly didn't expect Yi Tian to show up, and blocked the locked box behind them, shaking their heads fervently. "Nope."

"Oh." Yi Tian nodded, curiously peeking a look at the huge box behind them. "Hey, what's inside the box?"
