“Just tell me which scene it is. I’ll give it a try.” Lisa pulled her wooden hairpin out, letting her silk strand-like hair down onto her red dress. There was still a smudge of artificial blood on the corner of her mouth. Slowly, she shuffled towards Cheng Zhou with a lazy expression on her face.

One of the crew members handed her a wet towel, which Lisa used to wipe her face clean. After that, she nodded slightly towards that person. “Thanks.”

“Ah, no! No need to thank me!” The young lady who helped her was caught off guard by Lisa’s courtesy.

“It’s this one. Here, take a look,” said Cheng Zhou as he pointed at a part of his script.

Before Lisa could look at it, a red silhouette swooped in at her face.

“Ah! It’s Xixi!”

“Hurry on over Xixi!”

Almost everyone there recognised who this red feather ball was. Why if it isn’t Lisa’s favorite little pet.

Xixi left the house with Jungkook yesterday. For it to appear in this place so suddenly, Lisa had a feeling in her gut that someone else was nearby too. She spun around and there it was, a pair of dark, deep-set eyes staring back at her.

Old Liu followed Lisa’s gaze, to find a tall man standing underneath a tree. The sun was shining down from behind, making it hard for him to make out his face clearly; the golden yellow sunlight had casted a blinding haze around his face.

This person had a distinct aura. It was hard for one to overlook his presence if he was standing there. However, perhaps because of Lisa, Old Liu did not register in his mind that man’s presence. Now that he had a good look at the man, it was impossible for him to go on ignoring him. “H-H-He, when did he arrive here?!”

Cheng Zhou too, had just realized that Jungkook was standing there the whole time. Since most of them were the same crew members from the previous film, they had already gotten used to how he would come and go unnoticed like a phantom. He patted Old Liu’s shoulder and said, “Get use to it.”

Then, he finally let Lisa watch the scene herself. She turned around and glanced down at the script. The blase look on her face was now gone. “Are you sure about this, Director Cheng?”

“I was.” Cheng Zhou’s face twisted in pain. Who would’ve known that Jungkook would suddenly pop in for a visit. He looked over at Seokjin, who was trying to give the man a nasty look. His decision was made then and there. “Sigh, I guess I’ll have to put Jieun through the grinder for a couple of days. This scene’s a real test of skill, I’d say. We simply cannot mess it up.”

Whatever that Lisa ordered him to do, he would do it well. She had requested for him to back Jieun up, there were lots of aspects which he could not ignore when approaching this issue. Especially so was to get her nominated as the film queen. This scene would be the climax of the film, which hopefully, would propel her into getting an award.

Was that so? A pale finger rubbed against a pair of red lips. Lisa narrowed her eyes as if plotting something in her mind. Then, with a snap of her fingers, Xixi and Haha who were playing around darted over in front of her.

“Please give me a moment, Director Cheng.” Lisa slapped Xixi aside before spinning around and walking over to Jungkook’s side.

Lisa’s dress was red, a color that she rarely wore. She had only worn this color twice back when she played the character of Princess Qixia. Jungkook personally had never seen her in this color before. Still, her glowing face was still the same old when she crept up towards him.
