Lu Mingjue frowned. Other artistes all had a.s.sistants. No matter how unpopular they were, they would not be alone. It was inconvenient for them to do anything otherwise.

It wasn’t like she hadn’t brought her a.s.sistant with her. Where was her a.s.sistant, then?

Jin Lan seemed to be used to it and quickly went to film again. Her phone and bottle of water were placed aside.

Forget about her cell phone. Actually, it was extremely unsafe to leave a bottle of water like that, so celebrities would hand over their food and drinks to their a.s.sistants. These things would never be left unattended.

Lu Mingjue had no choice but to pick up her bottle of water and wait for her to finish filming.

“Mr. Mingjue is so nice.” There was the sound of low discussions from the side. It was obvious that someone had discovered him.

“That’s right. Jin Lan’s a.s.sistant has gone to sleep, but Mr. Mingjue is still here watching the night scenes. Where can we find such a boyfriend?”

Lu Mingjue had already picked up the bottle of water. It was not convenient for him to put it down now, so he could only hold it reluctantly and pretend not to hear these words.

He regretted coming out. Why couldn’t he just sleep in the camper van? Why did he have to come here in the middle of the night to suffer and feed the mosquitoes? Why did he have to listen to such gossip?

He rubbed his temples, extremely bored.

Jin Lan’s filming was still ongoing, so he could only stand and wait.

There was a break on Jin Lan’s side. She ran over and saw Lu Mingjue standing there with her bottle of water.

It was late at night, and the lighting from the equipment shone on him. In the flickering light, his facial features were abnormally superior. There were many people around, but as he stood there, it was as if she could only see him.

Jin Lan was stunned for a moment. She walked toward him and said, “Can I drink some water?”

“Take it,” Lu Mingjue said disdainfully.

She asked, “Why are you here? You were even holding my water?”

“It’s yours?” Lu Mingjue seemed to have just reacted. When he handed over the bottle just now, he had already tacitly acknowledged that it was hers. “I thought no one wanted it, so I took it casually.”

Jin Lan nodded and did not dwell on the contradiction in his words.

He asked, “Where’s your a.s.sistant?”

“She’s not feeling well, so she went to rest first. Anyway, I can handle it alone,” Jin Lan said. “Didn’t you go… to rest?”

“I came to take a look at the event location for Xiao Bao’s sake. I also want to take a breath of the fresh air here.

“If you want to breathe in fresh air, it might be better to go to a place with fewer people. There are too many people here, and the air is filled with the smell of humans. How can it be fresh?” Jin Lan smiled.

She had pretty eyebrows and a bright smile. She put down the bottle of water. “I’ll go back and shoot now.”

“Wait a minute.” Lu Mingjue stopped her.

She turned around and took two steps toward him. “Is there anything else?”

“Xiao Bao gave this to you. It’s mosquito repellant.” Lu Mingjue opened his palm.

Jin Lan thought for a moment and reached out to grab it. “Thank Xiao Bao for me.”

She turned around and ran away.

Lu Mingjue wanted to stay a little longer, but there was no reason for him to. Seeing that it was getting late, he walked back to the camper van.

When he woke up in the morning, Xiao Bao was still thinking about what had happened last night. He opened his suitcase and looked for the mosquito repellents. He counted them and said, “Huh, why is one missing?” “What’s missing?” Lu Mingjue asked with a mouthful of mouthwash.

“It’s mosquito repellent. Mommy gave a bunch of it to me. Now, there’s one less.”

Lu Mingjue asked, “…Did you count wrongly?”

“How can that be? Mommy gave me 15! She asked me to distribute them to my friends! I had already planned it out! Now, there are only 14 left!”

Seeing that he couldn’t fool him, Lu Mingjue could only say, “I remember now.

After you told me last night, I took one for myself. I forgot to tell you.”

“Oh, okay.” Only then did Xiao Bao feel relieved. He took the others and stuffed them into his small bag.

During breakfast this morning, Jin Lan and Liang Kang did not come over.

Xiao Bao did not see her, so she could only forget about it for the time being.

It was not until three in the afternoon that Jin Lan and Liang Kang rushed over for their meal.

The actors and staff who filmed the night scenes last night would arrive at about this time. Jin Lan and Liang Kang had dinner together yesterday. Now that they met again today, they naturally sat together.

Jin Lan did not have much of an appet.i.te after filming for the entire night. She only wanted a portion of porridge and sat down to eat it slowly.

“Do you really want to lose weight?” Liang Kang took some braised pork ribs and sat opposite her. “You can’t resort to drastic measures like this to lose weight. After all, you have to stay up late tonight again.”

“I’ll take vitamins later.”

“Tsk.” Liang Kang did not say anything else.

Xiao Bao ran over. “Sister Jin Lan, you’re here?”

“Have you had lunch, Xiao Bao? Do you want to eat something?” Jin Lan was in a good mood when she saw him.

“No, I’m still full. By the way, Uncle Liang, this is for you. My mommy asked me to give it to you. It’s effective against mosquitoes and other insects.” Xiao Bao handed the mosquito repellent to Liang Kang.

Liang Kang was so surprised that tears welled up in his eyes. “Weiyang gave it to me? She only gave it to me, right?”

“Of course not.’

Liang Kang said, “Oh.”

“This is for you, Sister Jin Lan. My mommy gave me many and asked me to give them to my friends. Sister Jin Lan, this is for you.”

“But didn’t you already give me one?” Jin Lan said. She took out the one she had received from Lu Mingjue last night and shook it. “You asked your uncle to give it to me.”

“Really?” Xiao Bao looked at it suspiciously. “But when I said last night that I wanted to distribute the repellents to everyone, he said that it was too late. He said we’d do it today and told me to go to bed early. Has he already given it to you?”

Jin Lan recalled that Lu Mingjue had stood at the event location for hours last night. Could it be because of this repellent?

That did not seem like something he would do, though.

“Anyway, I already have it. How long will it last?” Jin Lan asked.

“My mommy said that it should last for at least a month, ” Xiao Bao said.

“Okay, thank Sister Weiyang for me.”

Liang Kang said, “I want to personally thank Weiyang.” At night, Jin Lan had another night scene.

Many of her scenes required her to hang on wires.

Her a.s.sistant was not around. She had to rely on herself for everything. It was a little inconvenient, but she was used to it.

It was not the first time that her a.s.sistant was unwilling to stay up late with her.

She prepared her own water and snacks, stuffed them into her bag, and followed the team with her bag.

It was just that she could not take many things as she was alone. Other than these essential things, she did not take anything else.

She came over to drink water after filming and did not see Lu Mingjue. Although it was expected, she was a little disappointed.

Forget it!
