"Good luck with your last day of filming."
Cindy groaned, everything happened too fast she had no time to sit back.
Monika decided to keep Cindy and Yige's relationship secret, at least until Cindy freed from her contract with Starlight and returns to B Label. Just because she kept it under wrap doesn't mean Monika completely take her hands off Cindy.
Only God knows what kind of ruse Monika did to make Minglin directly give permission for Cindy to come to the Flower Generals audition.
Ali didn't lie when he said Cindy's abilities were impressive, the girl was finally chosen to play Lin Zhi. The female lead and the sister of the Flower General - Lian Cheng. Just like what Ali told her, the male lead was a popular rising star from an entertainment dynasty - Arthur Luo.
Arthur Luo is currently signed under the newly established company – ZEUS.
ZEUS itself was a house production studio founded 6 years ago by the actor, model, and documentary director Leo Luo slash Arthur's paternal uncle. ZEUS was not only providing music and film recording studio facilities, but they also globally market a variety of Internet-related services and products, including entertainment. Its services include social networking, music, mobile game, internet services, and multiplayer online games. A giant company for a relatively new establishment.
The most painful thing in winter was getting up early, most people would choose to linger with the quilt until the cold dissipated but Cindy Lee was not most people. Oh no, she wasn't some super happy person that was happy no matter what the weather was or some workaholic that strived to be the best no matter how low the temperature was.
No.
Cindy was just a pitiful actress that must act out some drowning scene in the middle of winter.
"You look pathetic."
"You shut up before I kick your ass."
"With those short legs? I don't think so."
"Arthur!" Cindy chased her co-star in the drama.
The crew was accustomed to their childlike behavior. Basically, they were almost the same age so they have been close since they started filming this drama. Unlike their serious characters in the drama, the two of them were very close and always joke outside the set. Liven up the atmosphere in the middle of winter.
Annoyed that she couldn't even land a kick on the man, Cindy grabbed his collar from behind and jumped onto Arthur's back. The two of them fell to the ground and rolled several times.
"Cindy, are you okay?" His eyes showed his anxiety.
Don't just look at how they tease or annoy each other, Arthur was a sweet and caring man. He could clearly avoid Cindy's collision but he gave up his body on Cindy when he fell he also used his body as a shield and covered Cindy's head with his hands.
"Yeah, I'm fine."
Arthur rolled his eyes, "Of course you are. This handsome man is protecting you with all my strength, how could you not be alright."
Cindy's face turned blank and made throw-up gestures.
"Cindy, Arthur! We are ready!"
The harmonious and playful atmosphere disappeared and the two actors immediately entered their roles as Lian Cheng and Lin Zi.
It was scene number 348 of episode 46, Lin Zi's corpse was returned intact, but the Southern Kingdom never said how Lin Zi's body would be returned. For the Southern Kingdom, the girl disguised as a man was a greedy girl and the most shameful stain in their military history. They also found out that the supreme general of the North Kingdom was her younger brother. Killing a traitor with a million arrows was the lightest punishment. The corpse then drowned in a river that was the border of their country. In her final moment, Lin Zi Laughing at the hypocritical officials and Prince Shen, they called her a criminal, a traitor. Even though she has waded through the lake of fire and rain of swords in order to win the battle for her homeland of the Southern Kingdom. She has given up her dream of being with the younger brother she's been looking for in the past 20 years, saying that the interests of the country were more important than their blood relationship. She laughed at herself for being too stupid, too naive, and too pathetic. In the next life, Lin Zi hoped to be born as an eagle. Maybe in that life, she could be her little brother's pet, together with him every day.
Today's shooting was a very emotional one, not only because of the scenes but also because it was the crew's last day shooting this project. The Director especially rented a hotel for 3 days' vacation for the crew and cast. Tonight was the official farewell party, they had various cuisines in the hotel reception hall and after hours of eating, drinking, singing, and dancing the crowd dispersed.
Although one of the main cast, Cindy and Arthur were both not drinkers. They were the only few sober ones.
"I think I'm going to do a spa tonight."
Arthur knocked her head, "It's almost 3 AM, I'm sure the hotel's spa is not open."
"Damn.. then I can only soak in warm water."
"See you tomorrow, Shorties."
"Arthur Luo!"
The two parted ways without knowing hidden lenses not far from them.
After partying all night, Cindy was fast asleep until the next day. Her plan was to sleep until the afternoon then go to the spa but her cell phone kept ringing interrupting her beauty sleep.
"Who?" in a hoarse tone she answered half awakened.
Minglin's irritated voice made Cindy half-awake, "Cindy Li! Where are you? What are you doing?"
"Hotel. Sleeping," she answered half-heartedly.
"I have no time for your one-word answer! Tell me honestly! Do you and Arthur Luo really date?"
"WHAT?" The sleepiness extinguished, "What are you talking about, Miss Minglin? What do you mean by dating? Why would I date him? We just a coworker."
"I don't care about anything, get yourself to the office right now!"
The moment she opened her hotel door, she was greeted by a fidgeting King.
King was the designated manager the company arranged for her, he usually accompanied Cindy on all her solo schedules and activities, but this time he had to talk about the contract issue as a product ambassador for a local brand.
"Here's your soymilk."
"Thanks, King. by the way what happened?"
"You can type your name, the internet is in frenzy."
Following King's instruction, Cindy multi-tasking between her phone and her breakfast. She stopped in the basement valet waiting for King.
Aren't they too rash? They really thought she and Arthur were dating? This is outrageous.
Even every photo and incident used as 'evidence' was just a coincidence. There were hundreds of thousands of keychains Givenchy put out in last year's spring collection, does that mean it's a couple of keychains? Then, did Dior only produce two sweaters on their winter collection? Why do they connect something that is not related?
What's worse, most of the big gossip accounts join in and make new speculations.

@sneakpeek
#GeneralFlowers co-stars @cdyxl @arthur_luo dating news, a gimmick or a fact?
The corner on her lips twitched, just which brain-dead reporter made this trashy news? How in the world would she fall for the annoying brat Arthur! Cindy got a taste okay! She got a crush! Why would she be tempted with Arthur when she had Wu Yige?! She ain't blind!
Wu Yige was an A-list actor, handsome, talented, and most importantly had been her celebrity crush for as long as she could remember.
Her phone vibrated again, "Yeah?"
"Did you see the news?"
"Yeah, I have the impulse to punch someone."
The man across the line twitched his lips, "How will your company handle this?"
"I'm not sure, Miss Minglin sounds very angry on the phone. How about you?"
"I'm going to sue them for defamation and privacy-invading. They were at the hotel's hallways, how could the hotel's security not guard those? The crew literally rent the whole floor."
"If I could, I want a full investigation on that useless reporter! I don't care if they spell my name wrong or discredit my acting, but what the hell with this wrong accusation of dating."
Arthur was in the same situation but hearing the girl's grievances and indignant voice did quite a number on his pride.
"But you know I can't, I'm just a small fish."
Arthur's mood lightened up, "It's okay, let this Senior Brother help you."
Cindy just made a barfing sound when her eyes caught a pair of man shoes in front of her. "Art, I'll call you back."
"To someone hit by a public relations crisis you look fine."
