63: I'm the fastest driver in the whole mountain city!
In the afternoon, at the airport not far from the lost in thailand Film Crew.
Yang Mi and her assistant took a taxi to Chen Le's Film Crew.
"Master, can we get there faster? I'll pay you extra if you can," Yang Mi said, looking at the taxi driver from the back seat.
She wanted to see Chen Le sooner. Having not seen him for a long time, she missed him dearly.
"No problem! I'll definitely get you there within half an hour. If I don't, I won't charge you!" The driver gave an 'OK' gesture, and the taxi performed a catapult start.
In the car, the assistant sitting in the front occasionally observed Yang Mi in the back through the rearview mirror.
At this moment, Yang Mi was dressed in simple yet elegant casual wear, with an irrepressible joy on her face.
Seeing the joy on Yang Mi's face, the assistant was very puzzled. Why was Sister Mi so happy?
This kind of heartfelt smile was rare during the days she spent flying everywhere with Yang Mi.
She was Yang Mi's new assistant, Xiao Xue. The previous assistant had resigned, and she, a fresh college graduate, had unexpectedly become Yang Mi's assistant.
Xiao Xue wondered privately: Could it be because this Director Chen they were visiting today was very special to Sister Mi?
She recalled the industry gossip she had heard before, saying that Yang Mi and Director Chen had a deep relationship, but as a newcomer, she wasn't clear on the specifics.
Just as she was feeling curious, the taxi arrived at the location of the lost in thailand Film Crew.
When Xiao Xue snapped out of it and realized they had arrived, her face was full of surprise.
"Master? We're here already? It hasn't even been twenty minutes, has it?" Xiao Xue asked in astonishment.
"Little girl, don't question my driving skills. This is the place you mentioned. I've been driving a taxi in Shancheng for decades; how could I not know?" The driver immediately spoke up upon hearing someone doubt him.
"Ah? No, Master, I'm just so surprised. I didn't expect it to be this fast."
"Nonsense, I'm the fastest taxi driver in all of Shancheng. My skills are no joke," the driver boasted proudly.
As the vehicle approached, the entrance to the film set gradually came into view.
Getting out of the car, Xiao Xue paid the fare.
As they walked through the gates, although there were staff members on guard, Yang Mi's fame allowed them to recognize her at a glance.
At the same time, they also knew about Yang Mi's relationship with Director Chen. Thus, they warmly waved them inside.
Stepping onto the set, Yang Mi's gaze was immediately drawn to the filming scene.
At this moment, Chen Le was fully focused on filming.
Seeing Chen Le working so seriously, Yang Mi didn't go forward to disturb him but watched quietly instead.
After watching for a while, she unconsciously became entranced.
By the time she snapped out of it, Xiao Xue was looking at her curiously from the side.
Is a serious man really this handsome?
Though the man in front of her was indeed very handsome.
Xiao Xue thought to herself.
Yang Mi's face turned slightly red, and she stopped staring at Chen Le. She felt a bit shy now, not expecting herself to get so lost in the sight of him.
Then, she looked around and found that the lost in thailand Film Crew was much more professional than the nightclub and lost on journey crews she had been part of before, whether in terms of set design, lighting effects, or the cast lineup.
She couldn't help but feel emotional; all that money wasn't invested in vain—at least the production value was there.
With Chen Le's shout of "Cut," the filming came to a temporary halt.
Chen Le turned around and happened to meet Yang Mi's gaze, discovering her presence.
Similarly, only after hearing Chen Le call "Cut" did Yang Mi step forward and give him a hug.
"Old Chen, long time no see. I missed you." Yang Mi ignored the gazes of those around them and directly expressed her longing.
"Mhm, Mi Mi, I missed you too," Chen Le responded with a smile.
Afterward, Yang Mi pulled back from Chen Le's embrace.
She looked toward Zhang Songwen, Huang Bo, and the others who had just walked over.
"Are they the leads for lost in thailand?" Yang Mi asked.
"Yes, they are the leads for the new movie. Oh, and this is Zhao Sheng, the Assistant Director, Dean Wang's prized student, and our Senior Brother," Chen Le said, introducing the Assistant Director, Zhao Sheng, who was standing nearby.
Hearing this, Zhao Sheng immediately nodded with a smile and said, "Hello, Mi Mi. My name is Zhao Sheng."
"Mhm, hello, Senior Brother," Yang Mi responded politely.
Then, Chen Le began to introduce Huang Bo. "Mi Mi, this is Huang Bo, Brother Bo. He's quite famous in the comedy circle."
"Hello, Brother Bo." Yang Mi nodded in greeting to Huang Bo.
Seeing this, Huang Bo immediately smiled and said, "Hello, Mi Mi. I've heard so much about you. Calling me Brother Bo makes me a bit nervous; your fame is much higher than mine right now, isn't it?"
"Haha, Brother Bo, you're many years older than me," Yang Mi said with a laugh at Huang Bo's humorous remark.
To the side, Xiao Xue silently watched them chat.
She had also heard what Yang Mi said to Chen Le just now.
With such blunt words, she didn't even have to guess; the two of them were definitely a couple.
She had actually stumbled upon such a huge piece of gossip.
However, she noticed that everyone else seemed to know about their relationship; she was the only one who hadn't.
Soon, night fell.
After greeting everyone, they all went back to their own work.
After a quick dinner, the night shoot began.
The few night scenes were filmed exceptionally smoothly, and after finishing them, it was soon time to wrap up for the day.
After work, Chen Le took Yang Mi's hand, planning to take her to a local specialty restaurant nearby.
Hearing they were going to eat, Yang Mi readily agreed.
Then, she looked at Xiao Xue and said, "Xiao Xue, you go back to the hotel first. I'm going to have dinner with Old Chen."
Xiao Xue nodded upon hearing this.
She was very sensible; it was obvious the two wanted some private time, so it was better for her not to be a third wheel.
Arriving at a restaurant, the two chose a private room.
Inside the room, the lighting was soft and the atmosphere was cozy. The two sat around a circular table laden with various delicacies.
Chen Le spoke first, asking Yang Mi with concern, "Have you been busy lately? How have you been eating?"
Yang Mi replied with a smile, "It's alright, a bit busy, but seeing how hard you're working, I can't just slack off. But you, when you go abroad later, don't overwork yourself."
"I'm fine. this bit of fatigue is nothing. I still need to make money to marry you," Chen Le said with a raised eyebrow and a smile toward Yang Mi.
"Smooth talker. You could marry me even without money."
"Really? You'd marry me even if I had no money?" Chen Le looked at Yang Mi with a hint of seriousness on his face.
Seeing this, Yang Mi's expression also became serious, her face flushing as she said, "Nonsense. I'll follow you wherever you go. I've been yours for a long time now; what else do you want?"
"I don't want anything else; I just want to marry you."
Hearing such sweet words, Yang Mi's heart throbbed.
She and Chen Le had always interacted very casually, and they rarely spoke such romantic lines.
This sudden talk made it hard for her to process.
"I'd like that..."
