Su Mo did not keep her word. By the time they finished, the room was already pitch black. The two of them had not only missed lunch, but were also about to miss dinner.
Jiang Jianhuan was buried in the blanket, her fingers clutching the corner of the pillow. Her fair skin was flushed pink, her lips were bright red, and her hair was messy and covered her cheeks.
Another person grabbed her from behind, brushed the hair from her face, and pressed his hand against her rosy lips, kissing her wantonly. Only then did Su Mo whisper contentedly.
"What do you want to eat? I'll make it."
"Whatever." She didn't want to eat anything right now; she just wanted to get some sleep and rest.
"Then you sleep for a while, I'll wake you up when it's ready." Su Mo rubbed her shoulder, sat up, picked up the trousers from the floor, put them on, and walked to the side to open the window.
A rush of fresh air, mixed with the aroma of food wafting from somewhere, filled the air. The last rays of orange sunlight sank down the horizon, as if reminding those who hadn't returned home to hurry back.
Su Mo felt that she had found a home.
A strange emotion was accumulating within him, soft as fluffy cotton, swelling in his heart, and he needed to do something to relieve it.
He went to the bedside again, bent down and cupped the face under the covers, giving it a deep kiss.
Jiang Jianhuan was sleeping soundly when Su Mo suddenly blocked her way again, making it difficult for her to breathe. She couldn't take it anymore and raised her hand to slap him wildly.
'Snap'.
A crisp sound rang out in the room, causing Su Mo to stop moving. Jiang Jianhuan also groggily opened his eyes and realized what was happening.
"Are you over it now?" Su Mo was a little helpless after being slapped by her. He lowered his head and bit her lips lightly. Jiang Jianhuan rubbed the red spot on his face that she had hit, as if trying to salvage the situation.
"I'm hungry, go and cook." She mumbled guiltily, pushed Su Mo away, turned over, and buried herself in the blankets again.
Su Mo smiled wryly, shook her head, turned and left, making sure to close the door behind her.
Chapter 52
By the time the show was being filmed for the second time, everyone was already quite experienced. The makeup artist for Jiang Jianhuan was a different person. She arrived early, and the dressing room was still empty and quiet.
Chi Lan was the second to push the door open and enter. Jiang Jianhuan saw her in the makeup mirror in front of her, and was somewhat surprised, but quickly covered it up. She didn't say anything to greet her, as if she hadn't seen her at all.
During the previous recordings, they had almost no opportunity to interact. They communicated with their respective partners. Moreover, Chi Lan had never been to the clothing workshop in private. She would only appear in the final garment display environment.
The two occupied separate corners on the stage, far apart, and there were very few shots of them together.
Jiang Jianhuan hoped that they could live peacefully together until the end of the season's filming.
But things didn't go as she wished.
Chi Lan's footsteps stopped behind her. The makeup artist paused for a moment. Jiang Jianhuan looked at her in the mirror and then saw her speak in a calm tone.
"Jianhuan, I saw your online interactions with Youyan last time. You probably know that there's some friction between us; she found out we were classmates before, so..."
"So what?" You Yan's uniquely languid voice rang out, delicate and crisp, with a hint of soft charm, yet it made people involuntarily tense up the moment they heard it.
The makeup artist stopped what she was doing, Jiang Jianhuan turned her head, and You Yan's gaze swept across her face before finally settling on Chi Lan.
"So what? Tell me." She smiled, but there was no smile in her eyes. She stared intently at Chi Lan as if she were interrogating her.
"It's nothing." After a while, Chi Lan replied with a few light words, then turned around and returned to her seat.
You Yan's smile vanished completely, and she just stared at her back, wishing she could poke a hole through it.
The two women's dressing tables were not far apart. You Yan threw her bag on the table, pulled out a chair and slowly sat down. Her assistant immediately poured a glass of warm water and brought it over. The makeup artist asked softly if they could begin, but You Yan turned her head to look at Jiang Jianhuan next to her.
"Did you hear what she just said?" She gestured with her chin towards Chi Lan, who was not far away, and Jiang Jianhuan nodded.
"I heard you."
Any thoughts?
"What?" Jiang Jianhuan was taken aback, then frowned. "What...what idea?"
"She said I found out you two are classmates, and since I hate her so much, I'm being nice to you on purpose to annoy her. Isn't that what she meant?" You Yan shrugged, her tone casual and nonchalant.
Jiang Jianhuan thought carefully for a moment, then cautiously asked, "Have you... been deliberately being nice to me?"
Is it referring to that Weibo post?...
As soon as she finished speaking, You Yan stared at her with his dark eyes, first scrutinizing her strangely, then bursting out laughing.
"You're quite interesting..." You Yan turned her head, signaling to the makeup artist that they could begin. Jiang Jianhuan pursed her lips, not understanding her meaning, but remained silent.
"Just keep it to yourself. Don't let certain people stir things up. We'll be working together for a long time to come... Sigh, everyone knows that some people are masters at sowing discord, making it impossible to guard against them."
You Yan let the makeup artist work on her face, even slightly raising her chin to cooperate, but the veiled insults in her words were very obvious. For a moment, no one dared to speak, only stealing glances at Chi Lan in front of them from behind.
At the far end of their line of sight, Chi Lan sat there with her back straight, as if she hadn't heard a thing they were saying.
In the first three episodes, You Yan's score was far ahead of everyone else. Except for the second episode where she got third place, she got first place in the other two episodes. Jiang Jianhuan, who was originally unknown, also emerged as a dark horse and made people look at her with new eyes.
Originally, You Yan came to this show just to annoy Chi Lan. She was good at contradicting Chi Lan, and when Chi Lan felt uncomfortable, she felt comfortable.
However, unexpectedly, Jiang Jianhuan proved to be quite capable. After making a few appearances, You Yan also shifted her focus to the show, with her management team working behind the scenes in hopes of winning the title of Fashion Queen this season.
Therefore, Jiang Jianhuan cannot afford to make any mistakes at this crucial moment.
This time, three episodes were recorded simultaneously as well. You Yan's worries were completely unnecessary, because Jiang Jianhuan seemed to be more serious about the show than she was. She stayed in the studio every day, and apart from eating, she was constantly making clothes.
You Yan was very satisfied, and when she occasionally came to try on sizes, she would inevitably chat with her for a bit.
"Hey, I heard you and Chi Lan used to be best friends, how did you fall out?" She looked at herself in the mirror from side to side. Jiang Jianhuan was tying the bow on her waist, her head down and very focused. She didn't even look up when she heard this.
