Chapter 1476: Chapter 1477: My Name is Lu Hanguang
The boy grasped her wrist, his handsome face displaying a playful and defiant expression. His star-like eyes locked onto hers, crimson from anger. With a sly curl of his soft lips, revealing a rebellious little tiger tooth, he said, “Good girl, this is what real harassment looks like! Next time, don’t go tattling to the teacher just because I deliver you a love letter. If you tell on me again, every time I see you, I’ll kiss you. I’ll kiss your lips swollen. Got it?”
Jian Yao had never encountered such a shameless boy before. She was so furious that her entire body trembled. She tried to yank her wrist free with all her strength, but it was futile!
“You’re despicable!”
From a young age, she had been the quintessential “perfect child.” Insults were beyond her repertoire, and after struggling to find the right words, this was the best she could come up with.
It was also the harshest insult she could muster.
Who’d have thought that her insult would leave the boy utterly unfazed? Instead, he grinned and said, “I’m not called ‘despicable.’ Lu Hanguang. Remember my name—it’s going to be your boyfriend’s name in the future!”
He released her, letting the furious yet irresistibly cute girl go. Under the dappled sunlight, the camphor tree exuded the sweet scent of youth.
He hopped onto his dark blue bike, playfully ruffled the hair atop the girl’s head, swept back his bangs, and smirked, “See you, Little Xiaoyao. Make sure to open that love letter tomorrow and read it carefully.”
Riding his bike, he casually waved goodbye, leaving only a stylish view of his back.
Jian Yao’s face was burning red. She angrily wiped her lips with the back of her hand, scrubbing so harshly that her lips were chafed. She refused to stop. After a long moment, she finally took a deep breath, slung her bag over her shoulder, regained her composure, and headed toward the school building…
“Cue!”
With the director’s shout of “Cut!”
The clapperboard operator immediately slammed the clapper down.
Various crew members—lighting technicians, sound engineers, makeup artists, stylists, assistants—began bustling around. The set suddenly became lively again.
Jian Yao’s actress, a newcomer recently favored by Lemon Entertainment, took a bottle of mineral water from her assistant before approaching Wang Ying. With a charming greeting, she said, “Mr. Wang, what brings you here?”
“I came to check on how your filming is going,” Wang Ying replied approvingly. “You performed well just now.”
Xu Mengyue lowered her head shyly. “The company worked so hard to get me this opportunity. I want to do my best to portray the character well and not embarrass the company.”
Wang Ying patted her shoulder. “You’re doing well, keep it up. This show has the potential to become a major hit.”
Xu Mengyue let out a soft “Mm.”
Despite not believing that a purely online series could become a huge success, it was, after all, her first production. As the female lead, she cherished the hard-won opportunity immensely.
With Lemon Entertainment’s actors leaving frequently, the company needed to cultivate new talent to take their place. That’s the only reason she had the chance to debut as the female lead. If she didn’t seize this opportunity, similar chances in the future would likely pass her by!
“Go touch up your makeup. I’ll check with Director Tan about the shooting progress,” Wang Ying said, withdrawing his hand and noticing Rong Yan approaching.
Xu Mengyue also saw Rong Yan and nodded politely. “Well then, Mr. Wang, I won’t disturb you further.”
“Go about your work; don’t worry about me,” Wang Ying said.
Xu Mengyue bowed deeply and then stood upright before jogging back to her assistant, searching for the makeup artist to get her makeup fixed.
Rong Yan walked over to greet Wang Ying, and the two headed off to find the director, screenwriter, and others. The group gathered in the production crew’s break room for a short meeting, during which Wang Ying gained a general understanding of the current shooting progress, the actors’ performance, and related matters.
