Caught in Affairs with Superstar-Chapter 127 - 123: The Beginning of the Scandal

She bought some daily necessities, including mosquito repellent water and toilet water, the must-have supplies on set.

Sure enough, someone came up to ask: "Are you guys filming a show here?"

"No, we’re not." Zheng Xiaojue, although suspicious, firmly followed Zhou Yun’s instructions, "We’re just college students making a short film."

Zheng Xiaojue, with a youthful face, said this and the aunty who asked believed her after an "oh."

"These college students nowadays sure put on quite a show," the aunty said.

Zheng Xiaojue replied cheerfully, "Got to be serious."

The aunty walked away.

There were a few other aunties ahead who looked like they were with her, and they heard the aunty say disdainfully as she waved her hand, "It’s just a bunch of college students making a short film, nothing interesting to see, let’s go back to play cards."

Li Yuning: "..."

Zhou Yun couldn’t help but snicker.

After finishing the shopping and returning to the hotel, Li Yuning and the others didn’t have to follow the shoot.

Inside the hotel room, a camera was set up for real-time filming.

While helping Zhou Yun unpack the purchased items and organizing them, Zheng Xiaojue asked, "Sister Xiao Yun, are we going out again today?"

"No need to go out, I guess, there’s nothing else," Zhou Yun said.

"Do you need me to keep you company here?" asked Zheng Xiaojue.

"No need, what’s up, you got something to do?"

Zheng Xiaojue shyly smiled and said, "A friend from my hometown is here, if there’s nothing going on today, I was thinking of meeting up with him."

"Friend from your hometown?" Zhou Yun’s eyes gleamed with gossip, "A hometown friend or a sweetheart?"

Zheng Xiaojue’s cheeks turned pink, "Just a friend from my hometown, Sister Xiao Yun, don’t talk nonsense."

Zhou Yun burst into laughter, "Alright then, off you go, I wouldn’t want to hold you back from your lifetime’s affair."

Zheng Xiaojue’s cheeks reddened even more.

"Sister Xiao Yun!"

"Okay okay, I won’t say anymore," Zhou Yun said, "Bye-bye."

Zheng Xiaojue happily left.

Zhou Yun looked at the sunshine outside the window and sighed, "It’s June already, such wonderful sunshine."

She sent a message to Yuk Chu: I also want to fall in love.

Yuk Chu: ? With who?

Zhou Yun: Doesn’t matter who.

Yuk Chu: Getting spring fever?

Zhou Yun: I want to walk under the sun holding hands with the one I love.

Yuk Chu: To get a lovely tan together?

Zhou Yun: Block warning.

Yuk Chu: You want to fall in love, don’t you have a bunch of handsome guys chasing you?

Zhou Yun: But I can’t be in a relationship, only daydream about it.

Yuk Chu: Why can’t you be in one? Because of your career?

Zhou Yun: What else?

Yuk Chu: Fair point, you’re only twenty-three years old, being in a relationship would affect your intimate scenes.

Zhou Yun: It’s not because of the intimate scenes!

Yuk Chu: So, acting in "Eighth Heartbeat" is good for you. It’s like comforting that love-seeking heart of yours through acting.

Zhou Yun: You don’t even know, I’ve had a falling out with Gu Huaichun, the bad kind, where we’re at each other’s throats.

Yuk Chu: What happened? How did he offend you?

Zhou Yun looked up at the camera to make sure it wasn’t capturing her WeChat conversation, then continued: He doesn’t approve of me, publicly mocks me in front of others.

Yuk Chu: That guy has such a nasty mouth.

Zhou Yun: I should have recommended you to star in "Eighth Heartbeat" with me from the start; we could have had fun together on set.

Yuk Chu: Good thing I didn’t come, I don’t want to be part of your warfare.

Zhou Yun: You’re not loyal.

Yuk Chu: I’m just being wisely cautious.

Zhou Yun smiled, tossed her phone onto the sofa, and continued to read the script, acting in front of the mirror all by herself.

At noon, Yin Zhou sent Zhou Yun a message, asking: Play badminton?

Zhou Yun was taken aback and said: Isn’t Xu Siyao still not arrived on set?

Yin Zhou: I thought maybe I should learn it first? I don’t know how either.

Zhou Yun: That makes sense, but is there a badminton court here?

Yin Zhou: There’s a gymnasium, I asked, and they can arrange a coach for us.

Zhou Yun: Then great, what time shall we go after lunch?

Yin Zhou said: Do you prefer to eat lunch first and then rest, or go after a nap?

Zhou Yun thought about it and said: Let’s eat lunch first and then take a nap before heading out, shall we?

Yin Zhou: Okay, I’ll schedule it for 3:30 in the afternoon.

Zhou Yun: Perfect.

Zhou Yun wasn’t the type to enjoy sports before, but if someone invited her, she would also go and not refuse, unless it was a sport she really disliked.

More importantly, her relationship with Xu Siyao could be described with the phrase "outwardly harmonious but inwardly divided." Earlier, Siyao wanted to cash in on Zhou Yun’s fame, and Zhou Yun didn’t acknowledge it; now that Siyao doesn’t want to interact with her, Zhou Yun thinks it’s normal. However, even the outward harmony isn’t possible with the male lead Huaichun, and with two of the key actors in a less than good relationship, Zhou Yun feels that she should still put some effort into managing relationships with her fellow actors.
