Jiang Xun turned around and saw Mufeng sitting beside Deng Xu. His gaze shifted from the screen to her face.

Jiang Xun stood rooted to the ground and forgot to close her mouth in surprise.

Why was Mufeng here?

The setting was limited, so the folding chair Deng Xu was sitting on wasn’t big. Mufeng was sitting on the same folding chair Deng Xu had found from God knows where.

Mufeng’s limbs were long and slender, and the sight of him sitting on the folding chair gave an indescribable feeling of grievance.

His long legs were extremely bent.

Mufeng got up and stretched his long legs before walking toward her.

Her mind was clearly thinking of walking forward, but her feet seemed to be glued to the ground and did not listen to her commands at all.

It was not until Mufeng walked in front of her and looked at her with a smile that his bright and clear voice came from the top of her head. “Why are you standing here like a fool?”

“Why are you here?” Jiang Xun couldn’t see anyone else but Mufeng.

The moment she saw him just now, her heart was racing and she could even hear her heartbeat.

Other than that, she couldn’t hear anything from the outside world.

Her gaze landed on Mufeng’s face, but she couldn’t see anything else.

It wasn’t until Mufeng’s voice came that she found her voice again.

“I’m going to Shencheng. I came over after I was done with work today. I came to see you before rushing to Shencheng.” Mufeng let out a sigh of frustration. “I originally planned to come over to see you after I was done with work. I was supposed to be here for the weekend. However, something came up at Shencheng and because I missed you, I came over to see you first. I’ll rush to Shencheng later.”

Jiang Xun’s face turned redder than the previous sunset glow.

She had never dealt with such a situation in her two lifetimes, so she was at a loss.

Deng Xu came over with a smile and said to Jiang Xun, “You still have a night scene later, so we’ll shoot it tomorrow. You came over last night and didn’t have a good rest today, so you should finish work earlier to rest and spend more time with Mr. Qin.”

Deng Xu was shocked when he saw Mufeng enter the set just now.

He really didn’t expect Mufeng to come all the way here for Jiang Xun.

At first, he was a little puzzled as to whether Mufeng was only having fun with Jiang Xun for a while.

But now, he had to take the relationship between Jiang Xun and Mufeng seriously.

No matter how the two of them ended up in the future, at least for now, Mufeng was obviously very serious about Jiang Xun.

“I’m just here to visit her. I didn’t want to delay her work.” Mufeng smiled. “According to the schedule, what time will Jiang Xun’s night scene be? When she is shooting, I’ll leave.”

Mufeng knew that Jiang Xun definitely didn’t want her work affected because of personal matters.

Jiang Xun couldn’t help but glance at him. Mufeng seemed to have understood her thoughts.

Deng Xu looked at the time and said, “According to the schedule, the shoot will take place at eight o’clock. However, we still need to look at the progress of the shoot. At the earliest, it will start at eight o’clock.”

Mufeng nodded. “Then, is there anything left for Jiang Xun to do?”

“No,” Deng Xu said with a smile. “Hurry up and get some rest. Little Jiang arrived quite late last night. She came here at four o’clock today. It’s really hard on her.”

Mufeng turned his head. His eyes were filled with warmth as he asked Jiang Xun with a smile, “Shall we go?”

Jiang Xun nodded and left with Mufeng.

Everyone was busy watching and gossiping about Jiang Xun and Mufeng.

Only after the two of them left did someone say, “No wonder Director Deng was so polite to Jiang Xun. I didn’t expect her backer to be Qin Mufeng.”

“What backer?” Tongan was unhappy to hear it. “Why do these words sound so unpleasant? The two of them clearly have a very legitimate relationship. Qin Mufeng didn’t even hide it when he came. He’s very generous. Moreover, Jiang Xun’s relationship with Qin Mufeng has nothing to do with her good acting skills.”

The others were rather bored by his words.

Did this kid become a brain-dead fan because of Jiang Xun’s acting skills?

Jiang Xun walked with Mufeng for a while and came to the place where he parked his car.

“Did you drive here?” Jiang Xun asked.

“I thought it would be more convenient to drive if I wanted to visit you,” Mufeng explained. “If I’m taking a plane, I have to go to the airport early. I won’t have much time to spend here.”

There was no civil airport in Hengcheng. If one wanted to go to Shencheng from Hengcheng, they would have to go to Hangzheng first, regardless of whether it was by high-speed train or by plane.

It was a long journey, so it was better to drive there directly.

“Are you going to drive the long distance yourself?” It was a long distance from the capital to Hengcheng and then to Shencheng. Jiang Xun was afraid that he would not be able to handle it.

“No, there’s a driver driving,” Mufeng explained with a smile. “I had let the driver go and eat first.”

He couldn’t let the driver be a third wheel.

“I thought that if time was tight, I would order takeout for you to eat. If there’s enough time, I would bring you to the shop.” Mufeng looked at the time. “There are still two hours left. Shall we go to the shop to eat?”

It was better to go to the shop to eat freshly made food than takeout.

“Okay.”

“I still have some snacks in my car. When I pass by your hotel, I will put them there first. You must be exhausted from filming. You can eat some more when you go back to the hotel tonight,” Mufeng told Jiang Xun about his plan.

As he spoke, he opened the door for Jiang Xun and escorted her into the car.

Perhaps it was because of the long distance, Mufeng didn’t drive the usual car. Instead, he switched to a Mercedes-benz.

Jiang Xun sat in the passenger seat. When Mufeng sat in, she called out, “Qin Mufeng.”

Mufeng stopped fastening his seatbelt and loosened his hand. The seatbelt bounced back. “What’s wrong?”

“We’re not together. You don’t have to work so hard to come here.”

Mufeng turned to her. “Am I putting pressure on you?”

“No.” Jiang Xun lifted her chin slightly. “I’m a strong soul. No one can put pressure on me. I just feel… embarrassed.”

Mufeng heaved a sigh of relief and smiled. “It’s good that I didn’t put any pressure on you. This is my first time pursuing someone, so I might not be able to control myself well.”

“First time?” Jiang Xun was surprised. Looking at him like this, she thought that he was very experienced in pursuing people.

“You don’t believe me?” Mufeng raised his eyebrows and asked.

“It’s not that I don’t believe you. I’m just a little surprised,” Jiang Xun muttered. “But that’s true. You never have to pursue others. It’s just that others are pursuing you instead.”

“I can’t say that they’re pursuing me. They usually don’t even have the chance to introduce themselves before there’s anything else.” Mufeng smiled as he finished speaking. He seemed to have thought of something and pinched the corner of his eyes as he smiled helplessly. “You almost led me off the topic.”

“You don’t have to feel embarrassed. Because I’m pursuing you.” Mufeng looked at Jiang Xun seriously, his eyes were filled with warmth. “I’m still pursuing you. If I can’t even do this, how can I pursue you? Therefore, if someone is pursuing you but doesn’t even do this for you, it means that he is very insincere. You don’t even need to consider him.”

Jiang Xun was silent. She felt that what he said made sense, but he also felt that something was wrong. “Are you really setting a standard and trapping all the other pursuers outside this standard?”

Mufeng was speechless.
