Chapter 231: Chapter 231: I Don’t Like to Eat It, It’s for You

"Okay, should I comfort you a bit?" Bo Yan chatted with the girl, while another phone was used to open the navigation and set the destination, which he then handed to Xie Cheng, who was driving.

Xie Cheng pulled over, took it, and turned his head in confusion to look at Bo Yan in the back seat. Bo Yan told him with his lips: go here.

Xie Cheng understood.

He started the car and then turned it around, his face still puzzled.

Throughout the journey, he only heard Bo Yan in the backseat, tirelessly soothing the person on the other end of the call, his voice gentle and soft, his face still with a teasing smile.

One could guess with their toes who was on the other end of the call, the only person that could make Bo Yan act like this was Yuran.

No one else had the ability to make the great actor Bo Yan lower himself.

...

After chatting for about half an hour, Bo Yan coaxed Yuran to hang up first, as Yuran was a bit sleepy and agreed.

Annan, who was driving in front, saw her hang up and laughed, "Ranran, that was the great actor Bo Yan, wasn’t it?"

"Yes! It was!"

Annan had by now recovered from her initial shock and disbelief, and although she was still very surprised, she could now somewhat accept it; she looked at Yuran enviously, "I really didn’t expect that the person who could tame the great actor Bo Yan would be you."

A topic that had once heated up on the internet was what kind of woman could match the incomparable great actor Bo Yan.

Back then, all of Bo He’s fans felt that no one was worthy of the aloof, incomparable actor. Not only that, but they continuously kept other women away from Bo Yan because, after all, the great actor Bo Yan was an unattainable flower.

Yuran was taken aback, then smiled," It’s not about anyone taming anyone; you might have some misunderstandings about the mutual affection between two people."

Annan looked puzzled and did not understand Yuran’s words, "It’s too profound and complicated."

Yuran smiled and remained silent, closing her eyes to rest in the back seat.

About twenty minutes later, Annan drove her back to the film crew, where everyone was eating boxed lunches. Seeing Yuran, Xuan Ze also called her over to have lunch. Yuran, holding the boxed lunch that the little assistant had handed her, walked over to Xuan Ze.

The film crew was in the film and television city, with average conditions, not caring much for any delicacies, a 12-yuan per person boxed lunch was filling enough.

Everyone was sitting together, there was no distinction, Xuan Ze’s crew was harmonious, no one acted arrogantly, worried about being blacklisted by Xuan Ze, when Yuran came over, Xuan Ze made room for her.

Once she sat down, Xuan Ze asked curiously, "How was the audition?"

Yuran shook her head and started eating her boxed lunch, their voices too low for others to hear, "Not good, Director Lin asked if I could take a break from school, but since I can’t, that was enough to rule me out."

Xuan Ze took a sip of water, "Did he give you a clear answer?"

Lin Zhan was definitely not an inflexible director; he was very adaptable, and for particularly talented young people, he really valued them, which is why Xuan Ze had suggested that she audition.

"No." Yuran was quite at ease, complimenting, "Director Tang, today’s boxed lunch is quite good. Is it because the previous ones weren’t that great, and you supervised them?"

Xuan Ze almost choked, "Nonsense, would I do such a thing? Where do I have the time? Let’s not talk about it. Today was extremely inefficient, not a single satisfactory one. I still prefer shooting scenes with you and Bo Yan, both heartfelt and efficient."

Yuran: "..."

At another table not far away, people occasionally looked towards Yuran and Xuan Ze. Seeing the two conversing eagerly, a female actor was fussing over the food in her meal box with a look of disgust, complaining to the actors around her, "This meal box tastes awful. How can you even eat it?"

Someone replied, "If we can’t eat it, should we just not eat? The film city is neither too far nor too close to the city center, going out to eat isn’t feasible. If there was a better choice, who would eat this? Besides, our crew’s meals are already quite good."

The other crews have it even worse.

The actress playing the fourth female lead curled her lips, didn’t continue the topic, but looked at Yuran who was actively engaging in conversation and frowned, "What exactly is the relationship between this Yuran and Director Tang? They seem quite close."

Male actor number five: "You joined today and might not know. Yuran’s scenes are almost always done in one take, saving the director a lot of time and cost. Naturally, the director is all smiles when he sees her. Our scenes, the supporting roles, weren’t even done right all morning, and we got scolded terribly. Now that Yuran is back, I’m actually happy since at least we won’t be the ones getting scolded."

"Naive, what does Yuran’s return have to do with you? How does it prevent you from getting scolded? What kind of logic is that? Can Yuran act in your place?"

That table was filled with gloom.

Xuan Ze when scolding, certainly doesn’t hold back.

The fourth female lead didn’t take everyone’s words to heart, only muttering, "Just because she has good acting skills, she cozying up to the director doesn’t seem right, does it?"

The crowd didn’t reply, and she added, "Maybe she wants to curry favor with the director? I’ve seen many newcomers like this, didn’t expect it to be the same in every crew."

The people, clutching their meal boxes, silently left the scene. Although being nosy is human nature, and so is gossiping, it’s still necessary to discern whose matters can be discussed, and whose cannot.

This must be clear, otherwise, only oneself would suffer.

After finishing the meal box, Yuran took Xuan Ze’s box and threw it in the trash can. While returning, she quietly asked Xuan Ze, "Director Tang, where is the great movie star Bo Yan?"

Xuan Ze looked at her with a teasing and somewhat amused gaze, and Yuran waved her hand, "Just asking, if you don’t want to say, then don’t."

"Hmm...."

Xuan Ze gestured with his chin towards her back, and as she turned around, she saw Bo Yan approaching from a distance, holding a shopping bag, not knowing what was inside.

As she was about to get up to greet him, she suddenly stopped. Xuan Ze skeptically smiled and shrugged. Bo Yan, as he walked over, was greeted by others, to which he simply nodded in acknowledgment.

In the crew, the only person Bo Yan spoke freely with was Xuan Ze; getting a nod from him was the best response anyone could expect.

The group of supporting actors was restless, particularly the fourth female actress who upon seeing Bo Yan, remarked, "The great movie star Bo Yan, is always as aloof as ever."

The crowd didn’t continue the conversation, only to see Bo Yan walking straight towards Xuan Ze. Xuan Ze eyed the shopping bag in his hand, "What are you holding, great movie star? Planning to give everyone a treat?"

Bo Yan didn’t even glance at him, but seemed casually to look at Yuran, "Want it? Someone gave it to me. I don’t like it, it’s for you."

Saying this, he stuffed all the chestnuts into Yuran’s arms. Xuan Ze clicked his tongue twice, "Still acting in front of me?"

Xie Cheng who had caught up, was also at a loss for words. He took wrong turns twice, nearly got squished in the crowd, all just to enter Tengluo Alley to buy these caramelized chestnuts, and then he just passed them on so casually?
