Chapter 261 Telepathy
The next afternoon on set, the sun was scorching.
Jiang Bai lifted the heavy hem of her Hanfu and crawled into the shade.
He was still reviewing the events in his mind.
At first, he thought Yang Mi was a nice person.
As a top celebrity in the industry, he is not only down-to-earth, but also enjoys chatting with people.
Jiang Baixin was initially quite pleased with herself.
But as they talked, he realized something was off.
Every time Yang Mi chats, she invariably calls He Shengming over.
And then, they subtly shifted the topic to the two of them.
Either the three of them gather together, then Yang Mi makes an excuse to leave, leaving only him and He Shengming together.
For example, yesterday afternoon.
.......
"Bai Zhi, it's so hot today. Come on, let's go to my sister's place and have some chilled plum juice."
Yang Mi smiled like an elegant fox, holding Jiang Bai's hand tightly and refusing to let go.
Jiang Bai was about to nod when he heard Yang Mi add another sentence:
"Oh dear, Ms. He! Are you standing there sunbathing?"
"Come on, come over here to cool off! Bai Zhi was just saying she wanted to ask you about 'Han Dynasty etiquette'!"
Jiang Bai: "???"
When did I mention him? My stomach was growling from hunger, not from mentioning him!
The three of them had just sat down under the shade of the pavilion and hadn't even taken two sips of the plum juice when Yang Mi started frantically changing the subject.
"Teacher He, look at Bai Zhi's hands, they're so delicate and fair."
"My hands are just a little lacking."
He Shengming, listening from the side, blushed deeply, his eyes fixed on Jiang Bai's hands, and nodded emphatically:
"That's right, that's right, Teacher Bai Zhi's hands are naturally very fair and delicate."
Feeling the other person's burning gaze, Jiang Bai forcefully suppressed the military-style punch he was about to deliver, and chuckled:
"Maybe it's because I don't go out much and am more of a homebody. Teacher Yang Mi is out filming every day, so she must be tired and got a little sunburned."
He had to leave quickly; this situation was too awkward!
Before Jiang Bai could even think of a way to escape...
Yang Mi suddenly stood up, looking flustered.
"Oh dear, my assistant seems to have some urgent business to attend to. I need to go take care of it."
"Teacher He, Bai Zhi is filming such a big production for the first time, so it's understandable that she's nervous. Please talk to her and give her some encouragement."
After saying that, Yang Mi winked at He Shengming, patted Jiang Bai's shoulder meaningfully, and then turned and walked away as fast as lightning.
Inside the pavilion, only Jiang Bai and He Shengming, who looked deeply affectionate, remained.
The air felt so awkward for that one second that it almost froze into ice crystals.
.......
This scene occurred more than once yesterday.
If it happened once, Jiang Bai would think it was a coincidence.
However, after it happened several times in a row, even though he didn't understand it, Jiang Bai realized Yang Mi's intention!
Holy crap!!!
Jiang Bai roared from the depths of his soul:
"Honey! Are you some kind of matchmaker reincarnated?!"
"I treated you like a friend, and you're trying to sell me off like a 'sister-in-law'?!"
"And you always have an excuse about being busy? What, do you and your assistant have telepathy?"
Jiang Bai finally understood.
Yang Mi's actions weren't at all like a senior's care; she was clearly turning on "top matchmaker" mode!
Was she chatting?
She was herding the fish into the net, and then she was counting her money while holding the net bag!
At that moment, Jiang Bai's expression changed.
A scent of high-end perfume filled the air.
Turning around, sure enough, it was Yang Mi.
Yang Mi was holding two cups of milk tea she had just bought, smiling brightly at Jiang Bai.
"Bai Zhi, so you're here! No wonder I couldn't find you anywhere."
"I just bought your favorite full-sugar milk tea, here you go."
Yang Mi shoved a cup of milk tea into Jiang Bai's hand without saying a word, and then very naturally handed him another cup as well.
"Oh dear, my hand is suddenly a little sore. Baizhi, could you help your sister by taking this cup to Teacher He on your way?"
"He's in that pavilion over there, reciting his lines."
Jiang Bai looked down at the two cups of milk tea in his hand and almost ground his teeth to powder.
"On the way? That pavilion is less than ten meters away. You think you can just walk a few steps and break your back?!"
"My dear darling, this isn't just a matchmaker; you're trying to tie me and He Shengming together with a steel cable!"
Jiang Bai took a deep breath and reacted quickly:
"Sister Honey, what a coincidence."
"I just suddenly remembered... the straps on my costume seem to be loose. I need to hurry back to the dressing room to find the costume designer."
"For Teacher He's share... perhaps you should have Xiao Zhao deliver it."
After saying that, Jiang Bai didn't wait for Yang Mi to react at all, and his feet seemed to be on fire.
Carrying that long garment, she exuded a desolate feeling of "a Han Dynasty empress fleeing for her life," and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Yang Mi stood there, holding the lonely cup of milk tea, stunned, her lips twitching slightly.
"This child... definitely figured it out."
Yang Mi sighed helplessly, "Oh dear, what should we do? It's really not easy to bring together a couple in love."
Just then, Yang Mi spotted Yu Zheng not far away.
Seemingly remembering something, his eyes lit up, and he walked towards Yu Zheng.
Next to the camera not far away.
Yu Zhengzheng leisurely sipped tea from a purple clay teapot, taking advantage of his break to watch the filming of the scene ahead.
"Director Yu, are you busy?"
Yang Mi walked over in her high heels, looking very serious.
Yu Zheng looked up and chuckled:
"Hey, Mimi."
"Instead of rehearsing with Ya Fu, you're here to supervise me?"
Yang Mi looked around to make sure Jiang Bai wasn't nearby, then stealthily leaned close to Yu Zheng's ear and whispered:
"Director Yu, tell me honestly, have you noticed that the atmosphere on our set has been a bit strange lately?"
Yu Zheng's heart skipped a beat, but his face remained as calm as an old dog, slowly shaking his head:
"Strange? What's strange about it? I think it's quite harmonious."
"You all performed well, and everyone worked hard. Isn't that great?"
Yang Mi rolled her eyes at him and said mysteriously:
"Keep pretending! Director Yu, didn't you notice that our General He... his gaze towards Jiang Baizhi is practically dripping with lust?"
"That wasn't acting; that was clearly a crush on a girl!"
Yu Zheng paused in his tea-drinking motion.
Yo.
It's not just his eyes that are drawn out.
He Shengming probably already has a name in mind for the child when he looks at Xiaobai now.
Yu Zheng, suppressing a laugh, asked with feigned seriousness:
"Oh? Is that so?"
"I guess He Shengming got too into character and mistakenly projected his unrequited love for Mo Xueyuan onto Jiang Baizhi."
"Come on, that was off-screen!"
Yang Mi slammed her hand on the table with a resolute expression, her eyes shining.
"Let me tell you, He Shengming has definitely fallen for Jiang Baizhi!"
Yu Zheng nodded, suppressing the urge to smile, and said in a calm tone:
"Oh, I see. And then?"
Yang Mi rubbed her hands together, a fervent blush spreading across her face:
"I think we might as well go with the flow."
"Teacher He is a reliable person, and I get along well with Bai Zhi. If we can help them break through this barrier... it will be quite a story when word gets out!"
