Rebirth of an Idle Noble Women (200-end)

Chapter 229: Do You Really Think She'd Care?

The film crew for the upcoming movie, Divergent Paths.

Li Yu and Du Yixin had a lengthy discussion during their afternoon break yesterday. When they met once again today, the latter now seemed to have a much better grasp at acting. For the past couple of days, every scene he had with Gu Xiqiao was done in one go. Although he wasn't as good as Li Yu, he was faring at least much better than he did previously.

This was especially after Fu Xuejun left. Cheng Zhou had found another film veteran who did a surprisingly good job, ensuring that the filming process went as smoothly as possible.

After filming her scene, Gu Xiqiao sat down on a bench and started fiddling with her phone. She had received a text message from Jiang Shuxuan, which she finally replied to.

"[...Your Trial Tower, it's kinda magical isn't it?]"

She looked up after sending her reply. Song Guanjing was sitting next to her and her mouth opened and closed, as if she was struggling to say something.

"Sister Song, it's alright, you can tell me what you're trying to say." Gu Xiqiao put her phone down and turned over to face Song Guanjing with her chin resting on her hands.

Song Guanjing did not speak for a moment. She took out a little pouch from her pocket.

"Little Gu, remember the talisman you gave me previously? It has now turned into this."

Gu Xiqiao peered down at the pouch she was holding. She found it slightly amusing. "You're still holding onto it?" Not only that, she'd even wrapped it up in a cute little pouch? The whole situation made Gu Xiqiao almost slap her forehead.

Song Guanjing stared at Gu Xiqiao with eyes filled with conflicting emotions. It was her first time realizing that this world she lived in wasn't all about science. That paper talisman Gu Xiqiao gave her that night, and the sparks that came out of nowhere, and now that it's reduced into dust...who else but Gu Xiqiao would know about these phenomena?

"Little Gu." Song Guanjing wasn't gonna waste her time any more. A deadpan look returned to her face. "Have you seen the rumors they're spreading around on the internet about you?"

Gu Xiqiao searched her mind for a while and knew instantly what Song Guanjing was talking about. She responded with a faint smile. "Of course." Not only did she merely know about it, the system had made sure to display every little detail of the article on the clear panel to her.

Why was she still so calm despite knowing that? Song Guanjing sounded more anxious now. "Little Gu, those people on the internet..."

"Sister Song," Gu Xiqiao flashed a warm smile at her. "Director Chen's calling for you."

Why was she getting worked up about this when Gu Xiqiao wasn't?! Song Guanjing took in a deep breath and gritted her teeth. "You know what, we'll talk about this later!"

Sheng Yin, who had just wrapped up a scene stared at Gu Xiqiao, and the calm expression she had on her face. With her head slightly bowed, the mocking look in her eyes was hidden from the people around her. "Let's see...if you can keep that smile on your face afterward."

After Song Guanjing was done with her scene, she came back to find no signs of Gu Xiqiao anywhere. That girl had run away!

"Guanjing." Cheng Zhou saw the look on Song Guanjing's face and so he patted her shoulder. "This isn't your first time filming with her, is it? You know that she comes and goes like a phantom."
