The Vicious Supporting Female Character And The White Lotus Female Lead - Chapter 144.2
Nie Zhen’er was extremely focused on anything she did. So while she recites her lines and forms a picture of the script in her mind, she simulated how the scene was during filming.
“Don’t you have a cell phone? You just practice the script when you’re bored?”
Luan Qing Xiao’s voice suddenly sounded, frightening Nie Zhen’er.
“Teacher Luan, you’ve finished.” Nie Zhen’er put down the script and turned around, lowering her head not to look at her.
In one of the old films she watched, the men in them only cover their bottom with a towel after taking a shower and leave their upper body naked. Nie Zhen’er was afraid that Luan Qing Xiao would be the same, so she didn’t dare to look at Luan Qing Xiao at all.
“What are you doing with your head down? Raise your head up.” Standing close to Nie Zhen’er, the heat from Luan Qing Xiao’s body rushed onto Nie Zhen’er.
Nie Zhen’er’s face was a little hot, “Teacher Luan… …are you dressed?”
Luan Qing Xiao: “… …I don’t have a hobby of streaking.” What is this girl thinking?
Nie Zhen’er clenched the corner of her clothes with her fingers as she slowly raised her head. Seeing Luan Qing Xiao was wearing a bathrobe properly and not exposing anything, she let out a sigh of relief in her heart.
“Sorry Teacher Luan, it’s the first time that I’m alone in a room with a man, so I feel a little uncomfortable.”
Luan Qing Xiao turned around to pull out another chair and placed it across from Nie Zhen’er, “It’s okay, you’ll get used to it soon.”
“What do you mean?” Nie Zhen’er glanced at Luan Qing Xiao in confusion.
“In the morning you said that I helped you and you wanted to repay me.” Luan Qing Xiao said.
“Yes, Teacher Luan, I will definitely focus entirely on acting as you requested.” Nie Zhen’er vowed seriously.
“No, I mean, not just acting…”
Nie Zhen’er stared at Luan Qing Xiao’s red lips, waiting for her to explain what she meant by that sentence.
“I want you to devote yourself to the set without getting distracted. What I mean is the time during the filming, not just on the set, which also includes the time after the day’s filming.” Luan Qing Xiao saw she already spoke this clearly yet Nie Zhen’er’s face was still confused, she could only continue to hint it out for her.
“What is the relationship between you and I in the plot?”
Nie Zhen’er’s eyes lit up, “This I know, a couple.”
“A couple within the plot, but outside of it?”
“Senior… …and newcomer?” Nie Zhen’er didn’t understand the meaning of Luan Qing Xiao’s question, so she answered tentatively.
“Yes, you and I are just a senior and newcomer relationship outside the play, not even friends. But,”
Luan Qing Xiao extended out her hand to lift Nie Zhen’er’s unconsciously lowered head, “Zhen’er, look at me.”
There was a sheen of grievance covering Nie Zhen’er’s eyes. She didn’t know why when Luan Qing Xiao said that they weren’t even friends, Nie Zhen’er felt a little sad.
Luan Qing Xiao paused. By the time she spoke again, her cold voice had become gentle, “Therefore what I want in return is for you to maintain the same relationship with me outside the film. In the film, you and I are lovers. Outside the film, tell me, between you and I, what should be our relationship?”
When an aloof person suddenly becomes tender, there was an unspeakable charm.
Nie Zhen’er’s eyelashes trembled and a faint blush appeared on her cheeks, “A… a couple.”
“What a clever child.” Luan Qing Xiao gently scratched Nie Zhen’er’s chin with her fingers like she was scratching a cute kitten.
Nie Zhen’er’s face immediately flushed. Then, she got up from her seat,, “It’sgettinglatenow. IshouldbeheadingbackTeacherLuangoodnight.” After speaking this in one breath, Nie Zhen’er ran out of Luan Qing Xiao’s room.
Luan Qing Xiao raised the hand that scratched Nie Zhen’er’s chin up to her eye level, rubbing the middle of the three fingers with the pad of her thumb, the corners of her lips were slightly curved.
Before Xiao Lu entered the hotel, she went outside to buy some midnight snacks for Luan Qing Xiao. When she came back, she happened to catch Nie Zhen’er running out of Luan Qing Xiao’s room in a panic. Her heart immediately tightened, thinking that Luan Qing Xiao couldn’t have bullied Nie Zhen’er, right?
Xiao Lu quickly knocked on the door with the snacks and Luan Qing Xiao opened the door. Seeing the bag in Xiao Lu’s hand, she asked, “What did you buy?”
Xiao Lu answered, “Fruit salad and peach-flavored soda.”
Luan Qing Xiao extended out her hand, “Give me the soda and bring the fruit salad to Zhen’er.”
“Me?” Xiao Lu questioned.
“Who else?” Luan Qing Xiao said.
“After dropping it out, you can go back to your room and rest. Also, tomorrow you don’t need to get up early to buy breakfast for me, I’m having breakfast with Zhen’er.” When Luan Qing Xiao finished speaking, she directly closed the door.
Outside the door, Xiao Lu was left stunned, unable to maintain her usual calm at all.
When did Luan Qing Xiao and Nie Zhen’er have such a good relationship?
Obviously, she still thought Nie Zhen’er wasn’t pleasing to the eyes at the opening ceremony and told people to avoid her. Why would she ask her to send fruit salad to her today and even flaunt to her that she’s going to have breakfast with Nie Zhen’er tomorrow?
Is this really the aloof boss she knew?
Xiao Lu walked to the side with a complicated gaze and knocked on Nie Zhen’er’s door.
Nie Zhen’er had just taken off her makeup, revealing her pure and beautiful face. She looked at Xiao Lu, who was outside the door, and recognized Xiao Lu as Luan Qing Xiao’s assistant.
“Sister Lu, what’s the matter?”
Xiao Lu raised the fruit salad in front of her and put it into Nie Zhen’er’s hands, “Teacher Luan asked me to give this to you.”
Nie Zhen’er took it, bewildered, “What is this?”
“Fruit salad, you can eat it for a midnight snack.” After Xiao Lu sighed, she turned and left. From the back, she seemed extremely tired.
Holding the fruit salad, Nie Zhen’er closed the door. In her mind, she unexpectedly recalled the phrase “a couple” she answered and immediately felt that the fruit salad in her hand contained another meaning.
Is this a senior caring about the newcomer, or a boyfriend caring about his girlfriend?
The blush that Nie Zhen’er washed away recovered again. As she covered her hot cheeks with both hands, her mind fell into a mess.
Nie Zhen’er waited until she gradually calmed down before opening the packaged box and eating the fruit salad with a plastic fork.
Every time she took a bite, Xiao Lu’s words sounded in her mind, “Teacher Luan asked me to give this to you.”
Before she knew it, Nie Zhen’er finished the box of fruit salad.
“That was pretty delicious.” Nie Zhen’er said as she threw the box into the trash can.
“Teacher Luan actually still remembered that I didn’t eat dinner and asked her assistant to bring me a midnight snack. She didn’t seem to hate me that much.” Nie Zhen’er muttered to herself somewhat happily.
