Chapter 1637: First Time Acting In a Show

Li Xinze drove to the filming site and told the director to arrange a role for Ning Shu.
The director sized Ning Shu up before giving her the role of a maid who would be beaten to death not even two episodes later.
“Good luck with work,” Li Xinze told Ning Shu.
Ning Shu nodded at him and then got called to get her makeup done.
As a maid, she had to be humble and flatter others.
Ning Shu had been a maid before, serving the princess in the fourth prince’s harem.
However, this was Ning Shu’s first time acting in a show. She NGed many, many times before the shot finally went without a hitch.
For lunch, Ning Shu had a boxed lunch. It didn’t taste very good, but she ate it all and then pondered over her lines as she waited for her next scene.
“How do you feel today?” asked Li Xinze when he came over at noon.
“Not bad,” replied Ning Shu. “How come you have the time to come over?”
“I came to check on the filming progress,” said Li Xinze.
“Then have you eaten yet? Is work hard?” said Ning Shu. “Even so, you should rest when you need to.”
Li Xinze looked at Ning Shu. “Why are you being so distant?”
Ning Shu: (╯°Д°)╯︵┻━┻
Frick, it seemed like everything she said and did was wrong.
“I-I’m concerned about you,” said Ning Shu sincerely.
“So fake. You don’t have to act like this,” said Li Xinze lightly.
The two sank into silence.
Ning Shu: o(︶︿︶)o Sigh
What should she say next?
Ning Shu felt like she didn’t have anything to talk about with Li Xinze.
The atmosphere suddenly became a bit awkward.
Li Xinze turned and went to ask the director about the filming progress.
Sigh. Ning Shu felt that she couldn’t do it even if she wanted to. She didn’t love Li Xinze, so not even a single one of her actions towards him contained love. Just because she pretended to be in love didn’t mean it could be passed off as real love.
If they continued like this, the two people who mutually assisted each other in the original storyline might end up breaking up.
Looked like she had to speed things up. As soon as she finished the task, she’d beat it.
Next task, she had to first ask the entrustor clearly whether or not they had a lover.
“Chen Jianan…” the production assistant called Ning Shu over to film her scene.
Li Xinze had originally wanted to say a few more words to Ning Shu before leaving, but Ning Shu had been called away, so he could only leave first.
Ning Shu glanced over at Li Xinze and couldn’t help but sigh.
How depressing. She really wanted to leave this world.
When it came to dealing with scummy guys, Ning Shu definitely wouldn’t be lenient. However, when it came to a situation like Li Xinze’s, she was a bit unsure on what to do.
After she was done acting in today’s scenes, she called Li Xinze and told him that she was going to go back to her dorm.
Li Xinze told Ning Shu to wait for him. He said that he would come over to pick her up.
So, Ning Shu waited for him at the filming site.
Li Xinze drove to the filming site in a flashy silver car.
He got out of the car and walked over very dashingly, staring straight at Ning Shu.
Ning Shu immediately felt many gazes zero in on her.
These gazes contained doubt, envy, jealousy, and contempt…
When it was time to film, Ning Shu felt like her opponents were deliberately making things difficult for her, full of dislike towards her.
