After completing the task, everyone felt relaxed. Along the way, Shen Shuyao kept glancing at the driver beside her from time to time.
Ji Nian sensed a gaze, turned her head over, and smiled as she asked, "What is it? Do you have something to say to me?"
Shen Shuyao's face reddened as she lowered her head, somewhat embarrassed as she quietly asked, "Why did you tell that aunt that I would become famous in the future?"
Ji Nian was taken aback, her mind racing. Could it be because the female lead hasn't risen to fame yet, so she lacks confidence?
"In the future, perhaps you'll encounter a role that will make the audience love you through that character? I've seen your show. Although it's just a supporting role, your acting skills aren't bad." Ji Nian answered sincerely. To be honest, the female lead did graduate from media studies, so her acting skills are still decent.
"You've watched it?" Shen Shuyao asked with delight, her eyes gleaming as if she couldn't believe that someone would actually pay attention to her.
Ji Nian was momentarily stunned, swallowing hard. She hadn't watched it, but she knew about it.
The female lead had played a supporting female role, who was a princess with a delicate and lovable personality, despite having feelings for the male lead.
Unlike other storylines, she wasn't a stereotypical vicious supporting female character. Later on, she ended up being romantically involved with a cold-blooded general.
This unique supporting character set, once the TV series aired, immediately made her famous, as people began to pay attention to her sweet appearance.
"Yeah." Ji Nian smiled with narrowed eyes, lying without blushing or a guilty conscience, "Didn't you play a princess too?"
Shen Shuyao was taken aback, then her face displayed a surprised smile, her eyes twinkling excitedly as she said, "Yes, the crew released costume fitting photos at that time, but the TV series hasn't been scheduled for release yet. How did you know all this?"
Not scheduled for release yet? Ji Nian caught the keyword. She remembered from the novel that the female lead rose to fame around this age too.
If all goes well, news about this TV series preparing for a release date and broadcast will come out soon, and then the male lead... should also appear soon.
"I often surf on Weibo, and I happened to see that a novel I had read before was being adapted. To be honest, after seeing the costume fitting photos, I felt like that person should be you." Ji Nian turned her head and winked at the female lead, admiring herself for being able to come up with these excuses one after another.
Shen Shuyao's heart was filled with surprise and gratitude. She felt warmth inside. Although she hadn't been in the industry for long, the entertainment world was tough. When she heard someone acknowledge her like this, it was like having an infinite source of motivation.
"Thank you," Shen Shuyao said sincerely and earnestly as she looked at the woman.
Seeing that they reached the village ahead, Ji Nian twisted the steering wheel, accelerating as she joked, "Okay, if you become famous one day, don't forget me."
Shen Shuyao quickly shook her head, "I won't, we're good friends."
Ji Nian was stunned, turning her head over. So these past two days weren't wasted, she had already entered the inner circle and become the female lead's good friend? She felt satisfied in her heart.
Shen Shuyao, the female lead, had a strong halo. Especially after meeting the male lead, she would have smooth sailing all the way. Although a few vicious supporting characters would appear later on, they would all be dealt with soon after.
Ji Nian narrowed her eyes, as if imagining her carefree life after repaying her debts. She must definitely cling to the female lead's thigh and bask in her halo.
When they returned to the house, everyone was starving. Liang Jie leaned against the sofa, looking lifeless.
Not to mention Wu Hai, who was stuffing himself with some fruit to fill his stomach, while Shen Yang and Zhou Sheng were organizing the items they had brought back.
At that time, the production team came over, notifying them of some good news and handing out the mission card for the next episode.
"Today, after completing the task, the production team has prepared a surprise for everyone," a staff member smiled as he entered.
Upon hearing this, everyone was surprised and couldn't help but feel excited. Not only did they receive corresponding rewards for completing the task, but there were surprises too?
The group followed the staff member to a room. As they pushed the door open, Wu Hai exclaimed with delight, "Oh my god, so much delicious food!"
Even Liang Jie couldn't help but swallow her saliva. After a morning of hard work, she didn't have a single thought about dieting when seeing this luxurious feast. All she wanted was to eat more.
Zhou Sheng laughed heartily, "The production team has finally become humane and given us a luxurious lunch."
Shen Shuyao also smiled, and Ji Nian nodded, "Indeed, we are hungry."
"What are you all waiting for? Come on, everyone take a seat and eat!" Wu Hai impatiently sat down, his chopsticks already in hand, ready to go.
Shen Yang saw this and smiled shyly, "After a busy morning, we can finally rest for a bit."
"Yeah." Zhou Sheng sat down and also urged everyone to take a seat.
Ji Nian pulled the female lead to sit beside her and thoughtfully helped her arrange the bowl and chopsticks.
Shen Shuyao smiled and thanked her, obediently sitting beside her. After everyone started eating, she began to pick up some dishes.
Wu Hai looked satisfied, and even Liang Jie didn't care about her figure anymore, grabbing several pieces of meat to satisfy her cravings.
Ji Nian was halfway through when she noticed a plate of shrimp in front of her. Suddenly, she remembered that the female lead seemed to quite like this too, but why did it feel like she hadn't eaten any?
"Do you like eating shrimp?" Ji Nian asked casually, as if making small talk.
Shen Shuyao was taken aback, somewhat longing as she glanced over, she did like it, but due to the camera, she felt embarrassed to peel the shrimp herself.
So she shook her head and softly said, "It's alright..."
Ji Nian seemed to understand what the female lead was thinking. She quickly picked up five or six shrimp and placed them in a bowl beside her.
After wiping her hands with a wet wipe, she began to peel them.
Shen Shuyao watched as the woman earnestly peeled the shrimp without regard for appearances. In her heart, she envied her boldness. Then she silently turned her head and ate the dishes in her bowl.
However, halfway through, a peeled shrimp suddenly appeared in her bowl. Shen Shuyao was stunned and looked over.
Ji Nian smiled, "I love eating shrimp. My hands are clean, if you don't mind, I peeled some for us to eat together."
Shen Shuyao felt pampered, her face reddening as she shyly replied, "Okay... Thank you."
Ji Nian smiled and nodded, her hands starting to bustle, peeling shrimp was quite simple. One after another, in no time, she had peeled half a bowl.
Although she had peeled a lot, the production team had prepared plenty, so there was enough for everyone else to eat.
The small bowl was now filled. Ji Nian wiped her hands with a wet wipe, then pushed it in front of the female lead, playfully winking at her, "Not enough, I'll continue."
Shen Shuyao was stunned, looking at the bowl of peeled shrimp. A surge of warmth rose in her heart. The woman's smiling eyes seemed to have a radiant light that kept drawing her in.
Although they had just met, she didn't know why, but she wanted to get closer to her.
