Chapter 1690 -827: Invitation

Zhou Yun took a sip, swallowed to ease her dry throat, and felt much better.

“Xiaoyun, is Song Chi at the hotel?”

Liu Yun shook her head, “I don’t know either. I haven’t contacted Brother Chi, but he didn’t say he was going out, so he should be here.”

Zhou Yun glanced outside, the sunlight was perfect.

She said, “I kind of feel like going for a swim.”

“The hotel has a swimming pool,” Liu Yun said, “How about we swim at the hotel’s pool?”

Zhou Yun nodded, “Okay.”

Liu Yun added, “But Sister Xiao Yun, you seem a bit tired today, are you sure you want to go swimming?”

Zhou Yun: “I think I need a change of environment to relax a bit, so a dip in the water sounds good.”

She went upstairs to her room to get her swimsuit.

Song Chi wasn’t in the room.

Zhou Yun left him a message saying she was heading to the pool.

Then, she took her swimsuit and left.

The hotel’s pool wasn’t crowded, Zhou Yun changed into her swimsuit, got into the water, and swam a couple of laps by herself, finally managing to distance herself a bit from the unsettling emotions.

She got out of the water, dried herself off, and lay down on an empty lounge chair, put on her sunglasses, and prepared to relax for a while.

She had just laid down when she heard a familiar voice.

“I’m at the pool,”

It was Lew Xi.

Zhou Yun turned her head in surprise.

Lew Xi was wearing a bikini, walking with long, straight legs from her right front, wearing sunglasses and holding her phone as if she was on a call, not looking in Zhou Yun’s direction, nor noticing Zhou Yun was there, passing ahead of her.

“I’m still filming, can’t you come see me?” Lew Xi questioned the person on the phone in English, “You have no idea, Zhou Yun’s boyfriend has been here, staying with her for days, but I’m all alone, do you not love me at all?”

Zhou Yun: “…”

Ugh, this cliché game of “I love you” “You don’t love me”.

Hearing Lew Xi speak like that, Zhou Yun basically knew who she was talking to on the phone.

The renowned Cliff Stewart from the United States.

“Oh, I know you helped me get this role, but what does that matter? I don’t mind everyone knowing I joined this crew because of you. In fact, everyone already knows you’re my boyfriend.” Lew Xi’s voice faded further away, “Come over…”

Lew Xi lay down on a distant lounge chair.

She was still on the phone.

Zhou Yun couldn’t hear what she was saying anymore.

She put her phone in her bag, locked it in a locker, and got back into the pool, planning to swim a couple more laps.

Suddenly, someone jumped into the water from another end, making a loud splash.

Zhou Yun ignored him, swimming on her own, when suddenly he caught up with her from behind.

Startled, Zhou Yun turned her head to glance while she was taking a breath.

Only to see Song Chi suddenly catch her from behind.

He held her, standing in the water, a smile appearing on his face.

“Why suddenly decide to go swimming without waiting for me?”

“I left you a message.”

“I saw it,” Song Chi said, “So I came right away to find you.”

Zhou Yun: “Shooting was a bit exhausting today, so I wanted to swim. Were you on the phone with Old Wu just now?”

“Oh, no, I just took a stroll nearby, had a coffee,” Song Chi said, “Had I known you could finish work early today, I would have come back sooner.”

“No need, there’s plenty of time, you should enjoy your walk.” Zhou Yun asked, “How’s ‘Moon Sinking at Sea’ going? Can Chen Wenjun salvage it?”

Song Chi: “I’ve asked people on my side to try their best to save this film. One definite outcome now is that Zhi Wei is definitely going to be removed from the cast list, but whether the film can air is still unknown. You probably haven’t heard, after Zhi Wei’s incident, another actor was exposed for drug use twenty years ago. Although he’s not famous and basically nobody knows him, after the exposure, all his scenes from previous works were deleted.”

Zhou Yun sighed, feeling helpless.

“This current situation really lacks security, one person’s incident affects the entire work.”

“Yeah,” Song Chi shrugged, “But this is just how the environment is now, we can’t comment much, just have to do our best with the tasks at hand. Old Wu is especially tense, he’s investigated all the actors in upcoming film projects, even considering conducting drug tests during filming.”
