It had been two days after Xu Jia Li and Si Weimin visited Simatai Great Wall and Gubei Water Town. The satisfaction on her face was still evident when she arrived at the shooting location yesterday. It was like her whole being was restored and she felt much lighter.
Everything also went well and the shooting resumed as usual. Director Han was really satisfied on how efficient and professional everyone had become which contributed to the fast filming of the scenes.
The fans were also excited about the movie as they posted on their Weibo account. They really wanted to see Luo Daming and Xu Jia Li together on big screens.
The newly founded fans' club of Meng Lulu also showed their anticipation for Sweet Memories. Some were even shipping Li Yun and Meng Lulu. There were also rumors that the two were dating.
However, a particular article on Weibo posted last night raised some questions from the netizens. It was said that Luo Daming and Li Yun weren't on good terms because of Xu Jia Li. Although not many fans took the article seriously, the fans of Meng Lulu and Li Yun started to make commotions on the internet.
The two men involved never once spoke about the rumors. Even Meng Lulu stayed quiet. Since it was not true, Xu Jia Li just shrugged her shoulder and decided to ignore it. She went to the shooting location as usual.
"Li-jie, it's your turn," Shen Linqin reminded Xu Jia Li.
She looked at the set. They were now shooting on a university where the female lead and the male lead met.
There were many university students watching from a distance. When she stood, some of them excitedly chanted her name.
"Xu Jia Li!"
"Goddess Xu!"
"Our Goddess Xu!"
She turned her gaze at them and smiled as she waved her hands. She wore the same uniform that the students wore. She looked so young and fresh that young men blushed when she smiled.
Their admirations were clearly written on their faces, "Woah! I can't believe she's really gorgeous!"
"She's indeed the real goddess!" The young guy wearing black eyeglasses shouted.
"Wooowww! Look at her skin! Woooaaah!!! She shines under the sunlight! She's so fair!"
"Aiiyyyoooo! I've always been her fan! Goddess Xu! Notice me!"
The entire shooting set was filled with Xu Jia Li's admirers. They had been quiet but they began cheering as long as they saw their goddess.
Xu Jia Li bowed thankfully at the cheering fans before she got ready for her scene. The crews had to pacify the crowd before they began their scene.
"Lights! Camera! Action!" Once the flipper snapped, Xu Jia Li transformed and became Yu Suyin.
"Yin-er!" Luo Daming called Xu Jia Li.
"Xin-ge, what's wrong?"
(A/N: Luo Daming is Yang Xin and Xu Jia Li is Yu Suyin.)
The two continued to converse as their love blossomed. This scene was the part when Lou Daming and Xu Jia Li discovered their feelings for each other.
Xu Jia Li's acting was spot on, the reason for her fans to cheer her name once they heard the word, "Cut!"
Luo Daming smiled as he approached Xu Jia Li, "You have such a nice bunch of admirers there."
Xu Jia Li was a bit surprised upon hearing Luo Daming. She smiled back and answered, "They are the reason why staying on the entertainment industry feels good."
"Yeah, it does count," Luo Daming slightly nodded his head as they walked back on their leather stool.
Xu Jia Li couldn't control herself as she gazed at the sitting Luo Daming. She was really glad that he was easy to work with. Since he was also an artist from Sun and Star, it made things even easier. However, it was also the first time that they worked together. She could only see him at some galas hosted by their company.
Luo Daming could be considered Tier 1 actor in China. He was one of the highest ranking male celebrities that ranked no. 3 in the recent poll. He was a role model because he was never involved in any scandals. That meant he led an honest life since not all celebrities did.
He was also reserve, quiet, and really good in acting. He was handsome as well which was why he was nominated as the national husband in China. Most importantly, he had a huge respect with everyone he worked with.
"Li-jie, here's your tea," Shen Linqin handed a cup of tea to her.
"Thank you, Linqin."
"Li-jie, you did a really great job. I know that you'll get the best actress award," Shen Linqin was full of excitement as she gazed at Xu Jia Li.
"It's still too early to tell. Remember not to count your chickens until the eggs are hatched."
"But Li-jie, don't you believe in yourself?"
"I do, but claiming things this early may only lead to frustrations in the near future."
"You're really smart, Li-jie," Shen Linqin raised her thumbs up before she continued, "Li-jie, will you accept the commercial with Yun-ge?"
Xu Jia Li stopped sipping her tea as she looked intently at Shen Linqin, "I'll give my answer tomorrow."
"Li-jie, I think there's nothing wrong in accepting it. It's just work after all."
Xu Jia Li only smiled at Shen Linqin but did not say a word. She took her phone and saw a message from Si Weimin.
Si Weimin: I'm sorry I didn't get you to the shooting location this morning. Don't forget to eat well.
She replied with a smile of her face, [Don't worry about me. I came with Linqin. Stay safe. 520]
She placed the phone back on her bag. She raised her head up when she heard commotions from the set. She moved her head sideways before she saw Li Yun walking towards her… with a bouquet of 99 red roses…
The entire crews swooned at Li Yun. Even the fans watching the shoot were all cheering as they saw the charming Li Yun with a bouquet in hand.
"Wow! Isn't Li Yun so sweet? He really likes our goddess!"
"Is the ship sailing again? Go JiaYun!"
"He's really charming. They look good together."
Since the fans were told earlier not to use their phones as the shooting commenced, not one dared to take a video of what was happening.
"Xiao Li," Li Yun gently called Xu Jia Li's name.
Xu Jia Li didn't know how to react. She didn't want to be rude but she never wanted to give him false hope. She was torn between accepting the flowers and not.
"For you…" Li Yun raised the bouquet as he handed it to her, "I hope you'll accept this… just as a friend."

In a corner, a person stood with a phone in hand. No one noticed when that person started taking the whole thing on video.
