Ever since returning from that party, Shen Qingtang had become distracted, even making mistakes with some of the simplest lines during filming.
After Shen Qingtang's NG (no good) takes a few times, she was scolded by the director and then taken aside by her manager to rest.
"Take a break for now and continue filming after you've calmed down," her manager handed her a bottle of water.
"Thank you, Sister Han," Shen Qingtang said, head bowed, not daring to look up at her, fearing the disappointment that might be written across her face.
Even Shen Qingtang herself knew her recent performance had been particularly poor, but no matter what she did, she couldn't help but remember the gentle gaze Ji Zeqiu had given someone over the phone that night, his eyes shining with a myriad of glints.
The person on the phone with Ji Zeqiu must have been very important to him.
At that thought, Shen Qingtang's eyes dulled even further.
