"What do you mean?" Female no.3 was completely confused, "Xiao-ge, what are you saying exactly?"
The lighting engineer replied, "Yesterday my nephew asked a priest to bless their band, and the blessing was performed by Priest Qingyin. I have his number, which I just called. You saw it too, it dialed Moyu's phone!"
"Huh?" Female no.3 was utterly confused, "Maybe Moyu picked up their phone?"
The lighting engineer did not speak for a while. He thought back to Priest Qingyin's appearance and then his brain clicked. He firmly slapped his thighs and confidently said, "Moyu is Priest Qingyin. The priest I saw yesterday was her! She used makeup to disguise as a male! That is why I thought she looked so familiar at first!"
Their voices were not loud but it attracted the nearby staff and they all came over in their curiosity. Afterwards, the lighting engineer described the events of yesterday again.
He concluded, "No wonder Moyu is skilled. She is an immortal senior monk!"
"What immortal senior monk?" Some people argued, "She is a priest, not a monk! Also she is a girl!"
Everyone discussed it in a frenzy while the centre of the topic, Qiao Moyu, was completely unaware.
After a few shots, she then acted alongside Ye Peicheng.
Among the wreckage of the wall, Ye Peicheng wore a German military uniform. He looked tall, handsome and in high spirits without concealing the blood and iron from head to toe.
Apart from his military uniform, he was dressed in black wolf-skinned overcoat and his black military boots were deep in the snow as he walked on narrow blue brick street. The scene was silent, but an oppressive mood closely followed behind.
On the opposite side, Qiao Moyu stood at the end of the street. Her eyes were tranquil and calm but she tightened her hand around the gun.
This was their first meeting after she had discovered his identity since she had left the Shaoshuai mansion.
Ye Peicheng walked in front of Qiao Moyu. He ignored the gun pointed at him and closed their distance with each step.
Snowflakes floated gently down. The chillness in the air seeped into their skin, yet their eyes locked deeply with each other as if they had no feelings at all.
Qiao Moyu had black hair and white snowy skin. The snowflakes on her hair added an element of pureness, even as she slowly pulled the trigger and aimed at Ye Peicheng.
Between the light and the flint, Ye Peicheng suddenly dodged to the side and escaped Qiao Moyu's bullet.
She fired again but he quickly arrived beside her at rapid speed. In an instant, he grasped her wrist and forcefully lifted it up.
So the bullet flew into the sky.
Men were inherently stronger and almost instantaneously, Ye Peicheng snatched the gun from Qiao Moyu's hand. He did not know how but in the blink of an eye, the gun disintegrated and fell down from the palm of his hand.
He held onto Qiao Moyu's waist while his other hand pressed down the knife from her sleeve. The man gazed deeply at her, and with a gentle tone that has never been heard before, he said, "Moyu, Let's go home."
Everyone around them held their breath and Ye Peicheng's brain disengaged for a moment.
He suddenly thought, perhaps the reason his father requested the producers to use his and Qiao Moyu's real name was so that he could easily form affection through their performance together?
However, the notion was just a flash of thought and Ye Peicheng was one again engrossed in the plot.
His "go home" was not approved by Qiao Moyu. She coldly smiled and was about to take out the gun from Ye Peicheng's waist.
He was slightly annoyed and a storm gathered in his eyes. He stepped forward then pressed Qiao Moyu against the blue brick wall and leaned in to kiss her.
Ye Peicheng placed her struggling hands high above her head. She resisted and her restless legs continued to kick him.
He changed his breathing and pushed apart her legs so she could no longer move and continued to ruthlessly kiss her.
Her resistance gradually turned into obedience, until she finally softened.
His lips rubbed against hers as he lowered his eyes to chitchat, "Moyu, I've told the kitchen to prepare your favorite fresh mushrooms and stewed chicken. If we don't go home now it will be cold."
She looked up and locked eyes with him. In her eyes, there were unwillingness, anger and an unclear emotion that was buried deep within by all the other emotions. Only those who know can understand.
"Cut!" The director was very pleased, "Peicheng, Moyu, the weather is very cold. Go and drink some hot water and prepare for the next set!"
When Qiao Moyu left the camera, the assistant Xiao Su came over to help put her coat on.
She and Ye Peicheng then walked in the direction of the rest area and both received a cup of hot water from the assistant. Qiao Moyu quietly said to Ye Peicheng, "Did you eat strawberry flavoured gum?"
Ye Peicheng raised his eyebrows, "Like it?"
Qiao Moyu blinked her eyes, "I prefer lemon flavor more."
She then added, "You also don't have to eat it."
Ye Peicheng smiled, his eyes full of warmth.
They both drank their hot water then continued their filming.
During the busy day today, Qiao Moyu always seemed to feel the glances from the workers and other actors. She did not investigate it because today was too busy and she was unsure.
The filming finally ended just after nine in the evening. Everyone was feeling a bit frozen. Only after a few cups of hot water did Qiao Moyu no longer feel the cold or the need to rub her freezing hands.
The sky was still snowing as she had walked a little behind the group. She turned her head and saw that Ye Peicheng had already walked to her side.
He took her hand and placed it in his warm palms.
Qiao Moyu's heart skipped a beat. She looked at the production team ahead of them and said in a low voice, "We are going to be seen!"
"So what?" He shrugged arrogantly, "I've wanted to go public for a while now!"
Qiao Moyu smiled. She also did not care so she moved her body closer to Ye Peicheng to absorb his worth.
The street lights shone on the floating snowflakes to create an indescribable charming illusion while their shadows were dragged on forever.
Until Qiao Moyu's assistant Xiao Su turned around, "Moyu-jie-"
Before she could finish, she was stunned by the sight of the intimate couple behind her. Even though she knew they were dating, she just had not expected them to be so blatant about it.
Perhaps it was the abrupt stop in her voice, but many people in front also turned around.
Qiao Moyu's face was slightly red and her body stiffened but Ye Peicheng tightened his hold.
They both raised their eyes and looked at everyone.
Many people had long suspected something, but were still left speechless. Meanwhile, others were completely unaware of their relationship and thought they were seeing things wrong.
As a girl, Qiao Moyu felt embarrassed and turned her head. She wanted to speak to Ye Peicheng, but he continued to show an expression of indifference. Instead, he raised his arm to tightly bring Qiao Moyu into his embrace and continued to walk straight ahead.
Today's two pieces of news were too explosive that everyone was thoroughly disarrayed.
Nevertheless, no one thought to expose their relationship because of Ye Peicheng's influence in the entertainment industry.
However, it was not the same case for Qiao Moyu. Everyone knew she had no background and was a newbie in the entertainment industry, so the news quietly got out that she was Priest Qingyin.
However, the story of Priest Qingyin was not well known to the public. Although the news was shared, it was quickly covered by other news and only amounted to a thousand views.
On the fourth day of filming, there was a competition in the Imperial City where the band from Yucheng would take their final shot.
The competition took place at an open-air stadium. The members never expected that they would end up choosing a good number plate that landed them a slot when the audience seats were at its fullest. That, coupled with the band's impressive performance, caused them to immediately start trending in the media.
Rather than becoming popular as an 'unexpected winner,' this band was actually selected by the programme's most influential and well-known mentor.
This mentor had praised the young group on Weibo; this was also the only time in recent years where he had praised anyone in Weibo.
As a result, the band rose to popularity overnight. They had yet to enter the knockout stage and yet everyone already knew them. In addition, the band's lead singer was particularly handsome, but only had one arm so it added even more to the conversation topic.
Presently, Weibo was crazy about them.
On that same day, Qiao Moyu finished filming and felt slightly anxious when she thought about the cave scene tomorrow.
Her and Ye Peicheng's relationship was now public among the production team so they would sit together in the same car. Ye Peicheng's assistant Zhang Zetu came over to them and smiled at Qiao Moyu, "Moyu, I just saw that you are a hot search topic online."
Qiao Moyu was confused. Did their relationship get exposed?
She took out her phone and Ye Peicheng did the same to find the hot search was –
#Qiao Moyu is Priest Qingyin
She was completely stunned as she thought, how did this get exposed?!
Qiao Moyu had a closer look and found the shared Weibo post was four days ago. She thought back to that time period and recalled that the whole crew had been staring at her with weird expressions.
The reason for today's hot search was because she blessed the Yucheng band who blew up overnight online. Not only that but the film from before, the porridge store, and Lu Beige had all been pointed out to have one thing in common –
They had all invited Priest Qingyin which was also Qiao Moyu to bless them!
Underneath the new post was also an explanation that detailed how Qiao Moyu had used makeup to cover up as a young priest in Yucheng in order to bless the band. She accidentally bumped into someone who used certain details to identify her, thus confirming that these were solid facts but could not be disclosed due to privacy.
However, her being Priest Qingyin was final.
Qiao Moyu opened her own Weibo. The last thing she posted was a selfie.
She was in complete German military uniform with a valiant smile as she stood by the side of a hollow blue and white brick wall covered in thick snow.
Qiao Moyu remembered the comments from before such as, "Moyu-jiejie is so handsome", "Wow Wow", "Totally beautiful" but it had all changed.
First comment: "Yu-gege, no, Priest Qingqin. Asking for blessing!"
Second comment: "Yu-gege, I know I will get good luck if I share this!"
Third comment: "The spirit of the heavens, the spirit of the earth, our Moyu (Priest Qingyin) is most spiritual!
…
The shares and comments rose like crazy along with Qiao Moyu's follower count. It had reached over ten million!
Qiao Moyu was shocked to find that even Zhang Cencen who had a devoted following also shared her Weibo: "Hehe, Moyu. I am also here to borrow some blessing!"
Shortly after, the director Jiang Zian of also shared, "No wonder my programme became hot when it first broadcasted. There was someone very capable in it!"
Qin Qianqian: "Ha Ha Ha, Moyu you were so powerful! No wonder when you went fishing, you could still get a bite even with no bait!"
Qin Qianqian: "Moyu, we are so familiar. I shared you so can you send me a golden camel?"
Qiao Moyu's mouth twitched, she was about to speak to Ye Peicheng when her phone received a notification.
She had specially set a special notification for Ye Peicheng's Weibo to know whenever he posted.
Ye Peicheng V: "@Qiao Moyu Little Moyu, I am really greedy. I want you to give me the best."
