Suddenly, Song Siyu pointed to Xiao Youran beside her.
"I don't care who she is! What does she have to do with me?"
Song Siyu smiled and said, "She's Xiao Youran, the girlfriend of Xu Xiuwen, his childhood sweetheart."
Lu Hu was taken aback for a moment and blurted out, "Isn't Xiuwen's girlfriend Bai Yue'er?"
As soon as the words left his mouth, he noticed the girl named Xiao Youran, whose face instantly turned incredibly ugly, making him realize he had said the wrong thing.
But he was puzzled; could the girl in front of him actually be Xiuwen's girlfriend?
What about Bai Yue?
Is Xiuwen two-timing?
Lu Hu feels like he's uncovered some earth-shattering secret.
Upon hearing Lu Hu's words, Xiao Youran's eyes immediately turned red, and tears followed suit uncontrollably.
So, Xiao Xu actually has a girlfriend now?
And it's not her!
Song Siyu remained calm and asked in response, "Who is Bai Yue'er? Who told you she's Xu Xiuwen's girlfriend?"
Lu Hu realized he had misspoken and dared not continue. He stuttered and avoided the question, beating around the bush, but never directly admitting his mistake.
If Lu Hu had simply admitted his error, the girls might have believed him.
But he deliberately avoided giving a direct answer, which made the girls think he had accidentally spilled the beans.
Xiao Youran felt utterly disheartened.
Song Siyu's heart also skipped a beat. Could Xu Xiuwen really be in a relationship?
An Shishi's expression remained calm as she glanced at Xiao Youran and then cast another glance at Song Siyu, unsure of what she was thinking.
Xiao Youran, who had been silent all this time, suddenly exploded. She stared at Lu Hu and demanded, "Who is Bai Yue'er! Where is Xiao Xu now!"
Xiao Youran's sudden outburst, along with the aura of the royal palace emanating from her, made Lu Hu somewhat flustered.
So he panicked and said, "I don't know, maybe he went to the swimming pool to practice swimming?"
In the entire crew, the only person who knew where Xu Xiuwen went, was him.
Because Xu Xiuwen personally told him.
During the lunch break, when Bai Yue'er felt unwell and couldn't shoot the planned pool scene in the afternoon, Lu Hu, as the production assistant, intended to inform the staff at the swimming pool that the crew wouldn't be coming in the afternoon.
However, Xu Xiuwen stopped him and said he hadn't swum in a long time and wanted to practice a few times in the afternoon.
Hearing the words 'swimming pool,' Xiao Youran continued to inquire, "Which swimming pool?"
Lu Hu has realized that he's been flustered and saying the wrong things.
This time, no matter what the girl says, he won't respond anymore.
He's even worried that the truth about Xu Xiuwen playing both sides might come to light.
Will Xu Xiuwen blame him for what he said?
Lu Hu quickly found a reason to leave and reminded the girls, "The crew is filming, unrelated persons please step back and do not disturb the filming."
Seeing Lu Hu not responding and starting to drive people away, Xiao Youran was very angry.
Xiao Youran couldn't bear the thought of Xu Xiuwen having a girlfriend, so she took out her phone to call him.
The phone rang for a long time, but there was no answer.
Xiao Youran was so anxious that she started crying again.
Song Siyu was about to comfort her, but An Shishi suddenly whispered, "I know where the swimming pool is. Last time when I was working part-time, I saw a swimming pool right next to our school."
Upon hearing this, Song Siyu immediately said, "Let's go find Xu Xiuwen now!"
Song Siyu and An Shishi started to move, ready to take action, but noticed Xiao Youran standing still.
Xiao Youran looked at the two girls, sobbing, and said, "I don't want to go. What if Xu Xiuwen really has a girlfriend..."
The conversation wasn't finished, but both Song Siyu and An Shishi understood what she meant.
An Shishi remained silent.
Song Siyu then said, "No, you can't just let it go. If you don't ask him clearly, are you going to continue being deceived in the dark? Whether he has a girlfriend or not, you must make things clear."
"Siyu..." Xiao Youran still hesitated.
Song Siyu grabbed her hand and pulled her forward directly, turning to look at An Shishi, "Shishi, lead the way!"
The girls arrived at the swimming pool mentioned by An Shishi. The swimming pool was open as usual. The two girls bought tickets and entered the pool area. They searched around the pool but didn't see Xu Xiuwen.
After leaving the swimming pool, Xiao Youran looked at An Shishi and said, "Xiao Xu isn't here."
Song Siyu said, "It seems that Xu Xiuwen is at another swimming pool. Do you know if there are any other swimming pools nearby, Shishi?"
An Shishi shook her head.
Xiao Youran looked disappointed.
Song Siyu then said, "It's okay if you don't know. Let's go out and inquire."
The girls asked the owner of a roadside shop and found out that there are two swimming pools nearby.
The first one is located on Hujian Road, which is relatively close.
The second one is located on Keshan Road, which is a bit further away.
The girls decided to go to the swimming pool on Hujian Road first.
Having rushed here, the swimming pool is also operating as usual, with few people inside. After searching around, there's still no sign of Xu Xiuwen.
Now, only the last swimming pool located on Keshan Road remains. The girls immediately head towards Keshan Road.
Arriving at the swimming pool on Keshan Road, the major difference from the previous two is that there is a "temporarily closed" sign hanging on the door.
Xiao Youran is very discouraged.
But Song Siyu saw a staff member at the front desk through the glass, so she pushed open the door and walked in.
The staff member at the front desk was a girl, who immediately said upon seeing someone enter, "Sorry, we're closed for a private event today."
Song Siyu quickly said, "It's our crew's venue, I'm an actress in the crew."
Hearing Song Siyu claim to be an actress, if it were a plain-looking girl, the staff wouldn't believe her without confirming her identity.
So, the importance of good looks is highlighted.
Song Siyu, along with Xiao Youran and An Shishi, all three women possess extremely high levels of attractiveness.
This rare gathering of beauties, aside from being a cast on set, doesn't seem to have any other plausible explanation. So when Song Siyu mentioned she's an actress, the female staff easily believed her.
Knowing the three women are cast members, the staff's attitude changed, smiling as she said, "Okay, the swimsuits are over here, walk straight down to the end, and the women's changing room is on the left. Additionally, the other two actors from your crew have already arrived."
Upon hearing the words from the staff, Song Siyu and Xiao Youran exchanged a glance.
Xiao Youran unconsciously bit her lip, her face extremely pale.
"Let's choose swimsuits first."
To avoid arousing suspicion from the staff, Song Siyu turned around to select swimsuits.
She casually picked up three items from the shelf, then led the two girls towards the women's changing room at a brisk pace.
Upon entering the changing room, Song Siyu did not change into a swimsuit, but immediately walked towards the curtain at the other end of the changing room.
Pulling back the curtain revealed the swimming pool behind it.
As the three girls emerged from the changing room, they saw Xu Xiuwen playing in the large pool with a strange girl.
"Xu Xiuwen!"
Song Siyu saw Xu Xiuwen's hand on the girl's body and immediately shouted.
Xiao Youran's tears flowed even more.
Song Siyu walked quickly towards Xu Xiuwen and questioned, "Xu Xiuwen, do you think what you're doing is fair to Youran?"
