N City

The first spring rain of the year had just arrived, and the streets and alleys were filled with the aura of spring.

Qi Luofei hated the rain, or more accurately, everything that was wet. She leaned against the French window of her room and looked out at the wet floor. She didn't have the slightest desire to go out.

"Pick up the broken time and restore it to the past..." It was rare that Qi Luofei didn't turn her phone off. It was such a coincidence that a phone call came in just then.

The music was still playing. Qi Luofei's thoughts lingered for a moment. She hadn't changed the song on purpose for a long time.

Qi Luofei glanced at the screen. It was an unfamiliar number. Curious, she picked it up and pressed the answer button.

A familiar voice rang in her ear. It was someone she hadn't seen in a long time - a voice she hadn't heard in a long time. But this didn't affect Qi Luofei's mood.

"Who are you?" she asked coldly.

The other party was obviously hesitant, and Qi Luofei could clearly hear him sigh.

"Qi Luofei, everyone is waiting for you at YT Music Restaurant," he said, a hint of affection in his voice that he hadn't even noticed.

Qi Luofei frowned slightly. She had never attended such a gathering. He must have something to discuss with her.

What else could they discuss now? Si Qingyan had even personally called to invite her to the Song of Sorrow.

"Movie King Si, please don't. Forget about this meal. I don't want anything to do with you."

"It's up to you whether you want to come or not!"

As soon as Si Qingyan finished speaking, a series of words followed.

"Du..."

Si Qingyan was furious when the phone was hung up. He looked like a hooligan from head to toe.

There were all kinds of dishes on the table, and none of the fish and meat dishes were left behind. When Si Qingyan ordered, he specifically ordered according to Qi Luofei's taste. Unexpectedly, this woman did not give him any face at all.

When the waiter finished serving the dishes, everyone, who was already waiting for the chopsticks, stared at Si Qingyan, especially the director.

As for why Si Qingyan wanted to treat them to a meal, it was obvious. He wanted to join the group, very much.

In fact, both the director and the screenwriter admired Si Qingyan's image and acting skills and felt that he was the best candidate for the male lead. However, the female lead did not buy it, so there was nothing they could do but wait. In the end, there was nothing they could do but bet on Si Qingyan.

Qi Luofei didn't have an ideal male lead in her heart anyway.

"Uhm... Actually, Movie King Si, did you offend Senior Qi?" A submissive voice came from the crowd. Si Qingyan swept his gaze across the entire audience before finally fixing his gaze on the short-haired girl.

Her name was Gu Qingshan, and she was an eighteen-string celebrity. All the scripts she could connect to were a mess. The reason she was here this time was because Qi Luofei had her eye on her.

Gu Qingshan played the palace maid beside Yang Guifei. Although she didn't play an important role, her exposure was much higher than the dramas she took on.

"Why don't you say that she offended me?" Si Qingyan asked, his voice full of speechlessness.

When Gu Qingshan heard this, she immediately rolled her eyes at Si Qingyan in her heart. If Senior Qi offended you, how could you not be able to join the crew?

"I'm sorry, Movie King Si," Gu Qingshan said apologetically.

"Ahem, ahem." Qi Luofei's voice suddenly reached everyone's ears. She was wearing a mask, and her long hair fell over her shoulders. She wore an ordinary sweater and a pair of jeans.

But even so, the elegance that Qi Luofei exuded was enough to make people stop and admire her.

"Luofei, why are you here?" The director asked first. His tone and expression were filled with disbelief.

Qi Luofei scratched her face awkwardly with her index finger. Perhaps she had seen someone she knew. Then, she walked over to Gu Qingshan's side. The staff sitting next to Gu Qingshan made way for her.

"She told me to come here." She said she knew him, but Qi Luofei couldn't even remember his name. She only remembered his face.

Gu Qingshan was at a loss. She pointed at herself and saw Qi Luofei secretly giving her a look. She laughed and said, "Yes, I called Senior Qi here."

Si Qingyan did not intend to give Qi Luofei a way out. After all, his face had already been trampled on by Qi Luofei countless times.

He chuckled, picked up a glass of red wine, and toasted Qi Luofei. "Movie Queen Qi just refused," he said.

"Movie King Si, you must be joking. I didn't know this was your place before I came here." Qi Luofei retorted. She wasn't a pushover. She wouldn't let others bully her.

If someone insulted her for a moment, she would definitely continue to retaliate.

Before Si Qingyan could swallow his wine, Qi Luofei's deadly sisterly voice sounded again, "Movie King Si is busy with work. Why does he have to come to our crew to join in the fun?"

"You!"

Si Qingyan was defeated and he was speechless. Wasn't he here to join in the fun because of Qi Luofei?

The two of them fought against each other. No one wanted to be the peacemaker. They quietly added food to their bowls to fill their stomachs.

In fact, the reason why Qi Luofei appeared was not because she had suddenly thought it through. It was because the producer of the production team posted this feast on his WeChat Moments.

Qi Luofei was a foodie, so her personal grudges were naturally put aside. She didn't care about the soggy ground anymore and immediately drove to the YT Music Restaurant that Si Qingyan had mentioned.

Other than Si Qingyan and Gu Qingshan, who didn't touch their chopsticks, everyone else at the table was eating happily, including Qi Luofei.

Qi Luofei ate at a steady pace, as if she was especially satisfied with every bite. This distracted Gu Qingshan, who was watching from the side.

A faint smile appeared on Gu Qingshan's face. His heart was beating wildly like a deer. He swallowed his saliva.

"Aren't you going to eat?" Qi Luofei suddenly tilted her head and looked at Gu Qingshan. Her eyes were filled with question marks, as if she was saying, What kind of freak are you? Why aren't you eating such delicious food?

Gu Qingshan had already lowered her head the moment Qi Luofei turned her head. Her ears began to turn red and her face slowly heated up.

Those who didn't know would think that Qi Luofei was teasing the little girl.

"I-I'm not hungry," Gu Qingshan said nervously.

Qi Luofei smiled. Her laughter was like a breeze that calmed Gu Qingshan's restless heart.

She picked up a piece of pork belly and placed it in Gu Qingshan's bowl. "Look at you, how thin are you? Eat more meat."

Si Qingyan's seat was not far from Qi Luofei's. He shook his wine glass, and his eyes were filled with Qi Luofei's tenderness and love for Gu Qingshan. He began to wonder what was so special about this Gu Qingshan that made a high and mighty person stop.

"Hello." Si Qingyan suddenly stood up, put his hands in his pockets, and shouted at Qi Luofei.

"Movie King Si, what about your character?"

"The dog ate it," Si Qingyan said mercilessly. Then he walked quickly to Qi Luofei's side and grabbed her by the collar.

Everyone's eyes widened. The first one to speak was the director, who said, "Luofei and Qingyan are a perfect match."

"Thud!" It was the sound of chopsticks falling to the ground. Everyone looked in the direction of the sound. Gu Qingshan immediately picked up the chopsticks in embarrassment and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

"You little brat, aren't you just a pair of chopsticks?" The director smiled and called the waiter over. He asked the waiter to return the pair of chopsticks to Gu Qingshan.

Gu Qingshan had an apologetic look on his face, but in fact, her heart was in a mess.

The YT Music Restaurant had two floors. The first floor was for the guests to eat, and the second floor was open air. It was convenient for the guests to eat and enjoy the night scenery.

At this time, there was no one else on the second floor except for the waiters guarding the stairs.

When the waiter saw that it was Si Qingyan and Qi Luofei, he bowed slightly and greeted them.

This was not the first time Qi Luofei had come to YT Music Restaurant. To be honest, she had bought this place with Si Qingyan.

"It hasn't been long since Song of Sorrow left the set, and the makeup photos haven't started yet. How long do you want to drag this out?" Si Qingyan asked.

Qi Luofei looked at Si Qingyan with a faint smile. "What does this have to do with you?"

"Can you not be so childish?" Si Qingyan was a little annoyed.

However, it wasn't enough to change Qi Luofei's expression or behavior. Qi Luofei remained calm and composed.

She turned her back to Si Qingyan and looked up at the stars in the sky. "Do you know what kind of person Tang Xuanzong is?"

Si Qingyan was stunned. He did not expect Qi Luofei to suddenly talk to him about the plot of Song of Sorrow.

"Do you think you can control this role with your current ability?" Qi Luofei asked again. Her voice was very soft, and it was no longer as calm as it used to be when she fought with Si Qingyan.

Si Qingyan stood behind Qi Luofei. He seemed to see loneliness and loneliness in her.

Qi Luofei had learned how to play a good role since she was young, and how to act out a good show. Ever since she was young, she had never let down her guard.

She valued every role in the show too much. Her pursuit of details was beyond the comprehension of others.

That was why Qi Luofei kept insisting on the male lead in the Song of Sorrow.

It wasn't that Si Qingyan couldn't do it, it was just that he was lacking a bit of maturity.

"Trust me this once." After a long while, Si Qingyan slowly moved his lips and replied to Qi Luofei's words.

The evening breeze was chilly, and Qi Luofei had just taken a sip of red wine. She felt a little uncomfortable. She was too weak to drink, so she couldn't touch any of the wine. She had to take a small sip just to keep up appearances.

At this time, Qi Luofei felt her eyelids become heavy and her body was on the verge of collapse. Fortunately, Si Qingyan was quick to react and immediately supported Qi Luofei.

He frowned and said, "You can't drink, but you have to."

"I'm here to support you." Qi Luofei smiled.

Si Qingyan looked down at Qi Luofei in his arms. He sighed helplessly and picked her up in his arms.

Qi Luofei was very quiet. She leaned on Si Qingyan's shoulder and quietly listened to Si Qingyan's breathing and heartbeat as he walked.

The crew had mostly left. Gu Qingshan and her assistant, Jiang Ya, had just come out of the private room when they saw Si Qingyan and Qi Luofei in his arms.

Jiang Ya looked at the two of them in shock. The smile on the corner of her mouth spilled out without any concealment. She could not help but pull Gu Qingshan's clothes. "Ms Gu, they are really a good match!"

Gu Qingshan's eyes followed Si Qingyan and the others until they left, but she was still in a daze.

"Didn't they say that the two of them are incompatible like fire and water?" Gu Qingshan muttered in a low voice. Only he could hear the disappointment in her voice.

Jiang Ya saw that Gu Qingshan had not retracted his gaze and frowned slightly. Just as the two of them left the room, Gu Qingshan's expression changed. Could it be...

"Ms Gu, do you like Movie King Si?"

Hearing the words "Movie King Si," Gu Qingshan came back to her senses. She looked at Jiang Ya in surprise and asked, "Why do you say that?"

Jiang Ya was a carefree girl and had a good relationship with Gu Qingshan, so she had nothing to worry about.

She leaned close to Gu Qingshan's ear and whispered in a girlish gossipy voice, "The way you look at Movie King Si is not right."

Gu Qingshan's mouth twitched in embarrassment. Was she looking at Si Qingyan? She was looking at someone else, and that person was.

"Forget it, let's go." Gu Qingshan took a deep breath and left the YT Music Restaurant with Jiang Ya.
