Tan Liansi hangs around for a little while longer, even though she's not needed on set.
Her presence makes Yao Shen uncomfortable, there's something about her knowing smirk every time she catches his eye that makes him stand on edge.
Once she's finally gone, he asks Xin Hulei, "Is she a demon too?"
Xin Hulei gives him an enigmatic half-smile. "That's not for me to say."
Yao Shen rolls his eyes.
Fine, keep your secrets, he thinks to himself.
They finish shooting for the day, and Yao Shen is firmly ushered back to his hotel room by Bi Jialu and a group of bodyguards he hasn't seen before. All in an obvious concerted effort to prevent him from being seen with Xin Hulei outside of filming.
It all seems a bit much, and like something out of a star-crossed lovers drama.
When Yao Shen checks weibo, the strategy becomes obvious.
