After this punch landed on Mo Shu’s face, the corner of his mouth became red and swollen. His teeth hit the inside of his mouth and a hole appeared. Mo Shu spat blood on the ground.

After he wiped the corner of his mouth, he wiped the blood on his shirt, but he didn’t retaliate.

After a long silence, the two of them calmed down. Mo Shu finally said, “I’m sorry.”

Zhou Liu’s expression was cold. He was very ruthless just now and even his own fist hurt a little. His other hand was still holding onto Mo Shu’s cap.

He asked, “What exactly happened back then?”

Mo Shu’s expression was serious as he said, “I can’t tell you about this, since 1 don’t want you to be involved, but there’s another serious matter.”

Zhou Liu asked, “What is it?”

“I heard them say that they want to…” Mo Shu couldn’t remember the name. “Anyway, they want to harm a company called Yuan something and have temporary control over it.”

Zhou Liu thought about the problems that had happened to the company two days ago. Upon hearing the word “Yuan”, his first reaction was that they wanted to harm Yuan An.

He left Mo Shu’s contact information. Zhou Liu wouldn’t ask Mo Shu about what happened two years ago, and Mo Shu wasn’t allowed to hide from Zhou Liu anymore.

Only then did Zhou Liu return to the company to settle some matters.

However, the two of them had overlooked one thing. Yuan could also represent a certain person instead of a company.

Three days later, for Yuan Shu’s convenience, the production team gathered Yuan Shu’s scenes in one time period. During these three days, Yuan Shu’s scenes were basically done. After filming the last scene, she could rest for a few days before proceeding to the next stage.

As Yuan Shu was preparing for the last scene, she looked at a dogwood flower tree in the corner of the film studio.

Actually, it wasn’t difficult for Yuan Shu to muster her emotions. Every scene in this movie was very familiar to Yuan Shu. It was almost exactly the same as her previous life. Except for the role Jiang Chen played, which she had no impression of, the other roles corresponded to the people in her life.

Yuan Shu even had a certain thought. Perhaps this was the real world and she was just a character in the book?

The longer Yuan Shu lived here, the more she felt that the line between the real world and the book world had become blurry. Sometimes, she couldn’t tell what was real and what was fake.

The dogwood in this season was yellow, and in autumn, it would be fiery red. Yuan Shu actually preferred red dogwood, so she rarely went to see it in this season. Now that she saw such a bouquet of flowers on the set, she almost didn’t recognize it.

Seeing that Yuan Shu was in a daze, Jiang Chen walked to her side and handed her a cup of brewed rose mulberry tea. “They said that this tea is good for the skin. You’ve been staying up late often to film recently, so it’ll be good for nourishment.”

Yuan Shu took it with a smile and said, “Thank you.”

Jiang Chen was so considerate that sometimes even Yuan Shu felt put to shame. Yuan Shu had never studied such trivial matters carefully.

Yuan Shu touched the cup with her hand and tested the temperature. The temperature of the water was just right, so she drank it directly from the cup and tasted the water carefully. It had the fragrance of roses, but the black mulberries tasted a little bitter, so she suggested, “Maybe we can add a slice of lemon next time.”

Jiang Chen clapped his hands. “That’s right. Lemon can replenish VC and give flavor to water. Yuan Shu, you’re really smart.”

Yuan Shu smiled and continued drinking the water.

Zhang Chao walked over from afar and handed Yuan Shu her phone. “Madam Shi, Young Master called you.”

Yuan Shu had just picked up her phone when a familiar and helpless voice came from the other end. “Yuan Shu, when will you develop the habit of carrying your phone with you?”

When Yuan Shu heard this, she put on a smile and said, “Sorry, because 1 don’t usually look at my phone other than making calls, I’m really not used to carrying a cell phone.”

Shi Xiao sighed again and said, “Alright, it seems like I have to get used to waiting a long time before hearing your voice when 1 call you..”
