OBS Chapter 50: Look at my sister!
Chapter 50: Look at my sister!
The person who came could not possibly be Bai Lu, but it was a girl who looked very much like Bai Lu—Li Xin.
The two do look somewhat alike from certain angles, which explains why Li Mo was a little dazed just now.
Although he knew she wasn't Bai Lu, under the influence of Li Mo's magical brain circuits, he began to suspect that the two might have some kind of relationship.
Li Xin's career has also taken off this year. Before that, the public's impression of her was mostly limited to her role as Baochai in "The Dream of Red Mansions".
This year, her performances in "Brilliant Life" and "The Return of the Heiress" achieved good ratings, which also boosted her popularity.
Only then was he qualified to be invited by Sun Zhe to shoot for the magazine.
Hey, isn't the plot of "The Return of the Heiress" basically a story about a rich heiress and a girl from the lower class swapping identities?
That's right~ That makes sense!
Li Xin was naturally unaware of Li Mo's train of thought. Thanks to her years of experience in opera, she had excellent manners and greeted Li Mo gently.
"Hello, my name is Li Xin."
The voice is a bit soft; it's definitely not a white egret.
Li Mo politely replied, "Hello, my name is Li Mo."
With everyone present, there was no need to linger any longer. After exchanging a few pleasantries, the two began preparing for the filming of this episode.
While changing clothes in the fitting room, Li Mo dialed Bai Lu's number.
"Hey~ Lulu, where are you?"
A surprised voice came from the other end of the phone: "I'm home!"
Being at home meant it was easier to talk, so Li Mo asked curiously, "Can I ask you something? Do you have any sisters?"
"No, what's wrong?"
If they're not sisters, then could it be...? Li Mo continued, "Then do you think it's possible that you're not actually... your father's...?"
"Impossible!" There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, followed by a puzzled voice: "What's wrong, Momo? Why are you asking such a strange question?"
Without answering her question, Li Mo continued:
"Then do you think it's possible that your father... made a mistake when he was young?"
Under Li Mo's relentless questioning, Bai Lu really thought that Li Mo had discovered something.
"I'll go ask!"
Li Mo thought Bai Lu would hang up and then go ask, but to her surprise, she shouted directly:
"Dad, my boyfriend asked you if you ever made a mistake that all men make when you were young."
Li Mo dropped the phone from his hand. "What the hell! Didn't you say you were home?"
"Yes, I'm at home."
"..."
Li Mo didn't come out for a long time, and Old Wang started urging him from outside. Li Mo quickly changed his clothes and went out.
Li Mo had worked as a part-time model before, so he was no stranger to shooting work and was very confident in his ability to do so.
Moreover, he had an added bonus during this shoot.
"Come on, you two, move closer."
"Your expression needs to be more friendly."
"Remember, you are two parallel lines that would never have intersected, but because you are each other, everything has been disrupted. What I want is for others to know at a glance that you love each other deeply."
It sounds difficult, and it really is not simple.
But Li Mo had his own little trick: he directly identified the other person as a white egret.
It's so useful! I feel like if Bailu herself saw this magazine, she could just assume it was a photo of herself and Li Mo.
Li Mo wrapped his arms around Li Xin's waist until his chest touched Li Xin's soft front armor before stopping.
The two were very close, extremely close. Li Mo held the girl's delicate, flushed face in his hands, his eyes filled with tenderness and passion.
It seemed as if he was thinking of his first encounter with the egret; there was even a hint of reminiscence in his eyes.
"Okay, that's it, hold it!" The photographer immediately pressed the shutter button.
The two were going to take more than one photo, but Li Mo remained unaffected, his gaze towards Li Xin unchanged.
With a series of flashes of light and shadow, today's filming came to an end.
Li Xin's assistant and Lao Wang stood to the side, their hearts filled with mixed feelings.
Old Wang: Judging from this situation, it's fortunate that it was only filmed once. If this kind of scene were filmed a few more times, this girl probably wouldn't be able to withstand it.
Li Mo: It's not that slow!
"Li Mo...you're great! Your performance...it's absolutely amazing!"
Sun Zhe didn't hold back his praise; perhaps out of admiration, he extended an invitation to Li Mo:
"Let's go get some food later to celebrate today's filming."
Sun Zhe not only invited Li Mo, but also Li Xin, and neither of them refused. Having more connections means having more options.
However, Li Mo and Li Xin needed to change their clothes before being invited.
"Sis, I think that celebrity on the other end seems to have a crush on you!"
While helping Li Xin change clothes in the fitting room, Li Xin's assistant half-gossiped and half-admonished her.
"Oh, really? How did you know?"
The assistant was taken aback by this answer.
Sis, is this a good thing? Why are you smiling so happily? Have you forgotten what the boss said?
Don't fall in love, don't fall in love! Learn from Tangren's lesson!
Meanwhile, Lao Wang was also considering how to hide something from the boss should something really happen between the two of them; he needed to think about this in advance.
For some reason, ever since he did what Meng Ziyi did last time, Old Wang seems to have found his place.
The two assistants were extremely worried, but neither of the parties involved took it to heart.
Li Mo went to the dinner party with a light heart, even thinking that if he couldn't get through to Bai Lu, he would ask Li Xin later.
Because the assistant couldn't go with them, they had to wait outside.
So the two groups met outside the restaurant and had their first confrontation.
Seeing that Lao Wang seemed to be the other party's leader, the assistant pulled him aside to chat.
"Our artists don't date," the assistant said first.
"You talk like it's some celebrity gossip." Old Wang, who's in his forties, lies as easily as drinking water.
"Brother, to be honest, I have a feeling that one of our artists is interested in this."
"Girl, to be honest, I feel like one of our artists also has that."
The middle-aged man and the girl sighed to each other and said no more.
Old Wang felt that his burden had become heavier, and the girl sensed that she might be fired.
After an unknown amount of time, Sun Zhe walked out of the restaurant and left with his team. The girl spoke again:
"Big brother, why aren't they coming down yet? They can't be hurt up there, can they?"
"Girl, it shouldn't be that serious after just one meeting. Mr. Sun has already left. Why don't we go upstairs and check on him?"
Without further ado, Lao Wang and his assistant entered the restaurant. The walls of the private room were not thick, and the soundproofing was also mediocre.
So~
"Let me see my sister."
"I won't let you see it!"
"Hey~ why are you in such a hurry?"
"Sorry, I'll be gentler next time~"
"Okay, okay, I'll show you!"
Old Wang, Assistant Girl: ???
