Su Youtian: “……”
“System, I somehow feel both flirted with and insulted.”
【How so?】
“He said his name is Mung Bean. Is he calling me a turtle?”
The system let out a cold laugh. Su Youtian had no idea why a system could even laugh coldly.
【Even if he’s a mung bean, he still wouldn’t be interested in you.】
Su Youtian felt doubly insulted.
Grinding her teeth, she gave the extra a chilling smile.
“Your name is really Mung Bean?”
The man slowly shook his head. His voice sounded as though glass had scraped across his throat, hoarse and unpleasant.
“Stage name.”
Su Youtian: “……”
It felt like punching cotton. Silently, Su Youtian wiped her face.
【He probably genuinely thinks you’re an idiot.】
“Get lost, get lost, get lost! I don’t want to hear you talk today!”
【Originally, I discovered something very interesting, but given your terrible attitude, I’ve decided to remain silent.】
Su Youtian: “???”
Su Youtian felt that although this guy barely spoke, he was secretly wicked. She got up intending to leave.
Behind her, Mung Bean quietly watched her. His body shifted slightly, as if he was laughing.
At the filming set, the director gathered the seven “sisters” together so they could familiarize themselves with one another first. Looking at their huge bell-like eyes, towering noses, cherry lips, and sharp V-shaped chins, Su Youtian felt her eyes burning painfully.
The director said, “You’ve all read the script, right?”
The girl in yellow tugged at lips that looked as though they had been sliced open at the corners.
“Nope. Too long.”
Su Youtian’s eyelid twitched. Looking at the girl’s attitude, she finally realized she was not the only one who had gotten in through connections…
The director paused.
“It’s fine if you haven’t read it. I’ll briefly explain the plot. The seven of you are the seven chiefs of Langya Mountain Village, First Sister, Second Sister, Third Sister… all the way to Seventh Sister. During chaotic times, you brave the raging currents and fight against the Japanese in the mountains, ultimately sacrificing yourselves for righteousness and leaving behind a legendary tale.”
After introducing the story, the director turned and solemnly called out to Su Youtian:
“Fourth Sister!”
Su Youtian puffed out her chest.
“Yes!”
Chen Rui’an’s face twisted for a moment. He paused.
“……Sheng Xia, even though your role isn’t very big, you still need to treat it seriously, understand?”
Su Youtian nodded.
After the director finished giving instructions, filming officially began.
Su Youtian had originally thought acting would feel passionate and sacred, but she never expected it to be this boring.
There were too many actors, and half the day passed without it being her turn to film. Left with nothing to do, she squatted nearby and played with sand.
Big Sister Red and Little Sister Blue came over.
Big Sister Red asked, “What are you doing over here?”
Su Youtian genuinely wanted to build good relationships with the people on set, so she answered honestly:
“I’m bored. Playing with sand.”
Little Sister Blue held her face and smiled.
“It really is boring. Oh right, what weapon do you use?”
“Weapon?” Su Youtian pulled the shield out from under her butt. “A shield. I have no idea who designed this thing. Why would anyone need a shield to fight the Japanese? And it’s this ugly too.”
Big Sister Red said, “You don’t understand. This color, this pattern, every detail reflects a fresh and natural beauty. On camera, it will definitely be the most eye-catching design. The director’s taste can’t be wrong.”
“……May I ask something?” Su Youtian turned back around. “How exactly did you get into this production team?”
Big Sister Red brushed her hair elegantly.
“The prop designer is my brother.”
Su Youtian slowly nodded.
“My respects, my respects.”
Big Sister Red said, “Let me show you our weapons. I think you’ll definitely be shocked.”
Su Youtian raised an eyebrow.
Big Sister Red pulled out a spear from behind her back. With a flick of her hand, the spear shaft suddenly extended outward.
Su Youtian’s eyes lit up.
“Now that’s not bad.”
Now this was a proper weapon. When the time came to fight the Japanese, she could stab one with every thrust.
She looked expectantly at Little Sister Blue.
“What about yours?”
Little Sister Blue pulled two grenades out of her pocket and grinned proudly.
“I think mine are the best. How can you fight the Japanese without firearms?”
Su Youtian subtly glanced toward her crotch area.
Little Sister Blue smiled sweetly while playing with the grenades.
“I think my grenades are way more useful than your weapons!”
Su Youtian pondered for a moment. Then she took the two grenades and placed them on the ground, setting the spear between them.
Su Youtian: “Hehehe.”
Big Sister Red: “……”
Little Sister Blue: “……”
The two women looked away in unbearable embarrassment, shot her a glare with flushed faces, grabbed their weapons, and walked off.
Su Youtian waved from behind them.
“You’re leaving already? Don’t you want to play a little longer?”
System: 【……】
In the distance, Chang Lun took a deep drag from his cigarette and patted Yuan Wei’s shoulder solemnly.
“Brother, your tastes are really something.”
He had been wondering all this time what Yuan Wei kept staring at. Only now did he realize the guy had been hanging around that girl in green. That was when he understood Yuan Wei had fallen for her.
And to his surprise, the girl was not arrogant at all.
Yuan Wei remained silent. Watching Su Youtian squatting in the distance, sticking her butt out while playing with dirt, a faint smile tinged the corners of his eyes.
“She’s pretty great.”
“Pretty great?” Chang Lun looked at him in disbelief. “Do you even know how she got into this production crew?”
No matter how nice her personality was, she had still been shoved in through connections. Rumor had it her backer was some rich young master, and that naturally made people think things.
Yuan Wei slowly turned his head and stared directly at Chang Lun.
The stare made Chang Lun’s spine turn cold, but he still had to say what needed saying.
“Listen to me, brother. Girls like this aren’t someone we should get involved with. Whether she likes you or not is one thing, but don’t end up causing yourself trouble because you can’t get her.”
Yuan Wei shifted his gaze away and watched Su Youtian hopping toward the filming area.
“She’s always been mine.”
