Son, “Mom” Will Back You

hiding in her yawn was a voice that was so light it could almost be one’s imagination.
“Oh? Then what is it that allowed you stand here? Mengzhi?”

 “——–”

Zhuo Yixuan’s body froze suddenly.

After she had recollected herself and turned around to determine whether she really heard those mocking words, she noticed that Gu Nian had already walked away without stopping.

That evening, Luo Xiu’s little assistant received notice from the director team to go pick up Luo Xiu from hotel and take him to the studio for some night-time filming.

The two of them arrived early and, possibly that the cast had left for dinner at the cafeteria, there was nobody inside the temporary dressing room.

The amenities were very limited inside the ravine.
The temporary dressing room also doubled as the prop room and, further in, on the other side of a thin wall, was the temporary lounge for the production team.

The little assistant stayed with Luo Xiu in the lounge while the two of them waited for the makeup artist.

Getting bored after waited for a little while, he leaned over to Luo Xiu and said, “Brother Luo, did that little screenwriter really gave you crash courses in the last few days?”

Luo Xiu responded casually as he flipped through a magazine in the lounge, “Mmm.”

Lu Xun, “She’s good.
I heard that Screenwriter Zhuo gave her a hard time this afternoon blaming your NGs on her character setting.
She didn’t take it out on you?”

“……..”

The magazine being flipped stopped in midair.

Luo Xiu looked up and asked nonchalantly, “Zhuo Yixuan gave her a hard time?”

The little assistant was pleased.
“I’ve also heard about how you have ‘stood up’ for her in the cafeteria before.
But you already knew all along how Screenwriter Zhou would react, right?”

Luo Xiu remained silent.

Meeting those eyes that were nonchalant like amber for a few seconds, the little assistant’s smile diminished.
He stopped asking questions and replied docilely, “Yes, Zhuo Yixuan said some mocking words to her.”

Luo Xiu, “How did she react to that?”

Little assistant, “It looked like she didn’t at all.”

Luo Xiu, “?”
