July in Shangbu saw relentless high temperatures, with Gao Wenlan sporting a huge sun hat, wearing sun sleeves, and an electric fan always at hand. Still, upon arriving at the film set, sweat poured down like rain.
Tang Li saw her makeup sared and she seed on the verge of heatstroke despite her repeated advice.
But Gao Wenlan was having none of it.
Due to Tang Li’s "expulsions," Gao Wenlan showed her discontent: "You’re filming elsewhere, that’s one thing, but now that you’re in Shangbu, how can your godmother not look after you?"
Yu Sui stood by her side, fanning her with a paper fan as she said this.
Tang Li said, "You’re at the set, my assistant holds an umbrella for you, I have to keep an eye out in case anything happens to you while I’m shooting, then escort you ho every day after filming. By the ti I get back to the hotel, I’m completely drenched."
Gao Wenlan looked at her with a lanting gaze: "You haven’t even called out ’godmother’ once, and you’re already fed up with . To think I brave the scorching sun every day to co see you."
"..." Tang Li.
At that mont, a staff mber passed by.
They carried a bottle of water and didn’t forget to thank Gao Wenlan: "Thank you for the water from Teacher Xu Yuan!"
Gao Wenlan heard this, straightened her back, and glanced towards Tang Li from behind her red-frad glasses with a proud look: "That’s the spirit, tell your crew not to accept the water and beverages I bought."
Tang Li forced a smile.
As she sat down to rest, Gao Wenlan continued, "Professor Wong is returning from the Capital tomorrow; you have to co to my place for dinner in the evening."
"Okay," Tang Li nodded in agreent.
Gao Wenlan eyed her, speaking in a sour tone, "You always make excuses not to co to dinner when godmother asks, but as soon as godfather returns, you agree without hesitation. My treatnt here leaves much to be desired."
"You invite to dinner every day, I obviously can’t say yes each ti."
Tang Li explained, "The residency compound is far from both the filming location and the hotel. The weather is so hot, and sotis I have to film night scenes, so it’s not possible to visit your place daily."
Gao Wenlan’s lips curled slightly upon hearing this.
Tang Li took a backpack from Yu Sui, opened it, and handed a small paper box to Gao Wenlan, who glimpsed inside: "What’s this?"
"Bengay. Didn’t you say there are mosquitoes biting you here?"
Gao Wenlan took it, feeling sowhat pleased: "You little brat, you do know how to please people."
And she even bought her Bengay.
After a while, Tang Li got up to act in her scenes.
Opening the paper box, Gao Wenlan took out the Bengay, about to test its effectiveness, when she noticed Yu Sui, seated beside her, taking out a Bengay bottle from her bag as well.
Gao Wenlan was slightly stunned and asked, "Why do you have this too?"
"Ah Li gave it to ."
Yu Sui looked down, applying Bengay to red bumps on her leg: "A couple of days ago, Ah Li bought Bengay during a promotion; it was ’buy two, get one free.’ Ah Li said buying one wasn’t worth it, so she bought three."
"..." Gao Wenlan.
The next evening, after filming, Tang Li took a shower at the hotel before going to the Wong Family house.
At the Wong Family ho, Tang Li once again encountered Ren Zhengxiong.
Gao Wenlan clarified for her, "Old Wang and Director Ren were high school classmates and have been good friends for many years. He happened to be visiting today, so he stayed for dinner, and he knows that Old Wang and I have taken on a goddaughter."
With that, Gao Wenlan glanced toward the kitchen, then reminded Tang Li, "Stop sorting the vegetables. Go out now with the fruit, call him ’Uncle,’ and during the New Year’s, I gave his daughter a red envelope with two thousand eight hundred yuan; tonight, he definitely owes an extra two hundred."
Tang Li: "..."
