Chapter 61 I Will Beat Gu Yechen (In Your Dreams)
Gu Yebei and Wu Minger quickly broke out of their awkwardness, and they interacted well with each other, almost like they were dating for a long time already.
Filming went by smoothly for several days and they made a lot of progress.
It was Friday, the last day of filming for the week, and the four of them were sitting next to each other during a quick ten minute break.
He Xinyan and Yang Siyue both frustratingly stared at the couple in front of them.
"You should bring Gu Yechen to filming so we won't look so lonely and single," Yang Siyue commented.
"You're right. . . I should."
Gu Yebei had bought milk tea for Wu Minger and now they were drinking from the same straw and acting all lovey-dovey.
"Ah, I can't watch this anymore. Yanyan, let's go!" Yang Siyue pulled He Xinyan out of the chair and they walked away to somewhere else.
After news of Gu Yebei dating Wu MInger had spread out in the filming crew, all the girls stared at Wu Minger with a deadly glare. They had thought that Gu Yebei liked the hot and sexy style, but Wu Minger was the complete opposite.
Several times, some people tried scheming against Wu Minger or bullying her, but Gu Yebei managed to save her every single time. When he wanted to, Gu Yebei could use the single brain cell inside his brain pretty well. . . Of course, it wasn't often.
Yang Siyue ended up ordering two large cups of milk tea for her and He Xinyan and they returned back to drink their own while staring at the couple.
He Xinyan ended up driving herself home half of the days now because she had to create opportunities for Gu Yebei to drive Wu Minger home so they can interact more.
After a long day of filming, He Xinyan drove home. She had left after Li Yuyan did, since she had more scenes. However, when she returned, Li Yuyan was nowhere to be seen.

Inside an apartment room of an expensive apartment complex, two people were laying bare on the bed after just finishing an intimate session of intercourse.
Li Yuyan rested her head on Su Zhiming's chest while drawing imaginary circles on his stomach. Although he didn't have any clear stomach muscles, there wasn't any excess fat on his stomach either.
Su Zhiming had his eyes closed but he wasn't asleep yet.
"Zhiming, is your project successful or not?"
Su Zhiming opened his eyes, "It hasn't been pushed out yet. Why?"
Li Yuyan pouted and stopped drawing circles, "Zhiming, I'm depending on you. I only have you now, so you have to work hard."
Li Yuyan pretended to cry as she looked away, "You know He Xinyan. . . She always bullies me and makes fun of me for choosing you, but - but I love you, Zhiming. I stayed with you for so many years and I didn't give up on you. He Xinyan. . . I think she's dating the CEO of the Gu Corporation, Gu Yechen, now, and she makes fun of me and you all the time. Zhiming, you have to help me!"
Su Zhiming furrowed his eyebrows together when he heard what Li Yuyan said and he angrily responded, "Who knows how she got the CEO of the Gu Corporation? She probably slept with him!"
Li Yuyan nodded her head, "Yes, I think that is what happened. But, Zhiming, you love me right?"
Su Zhiming looked down at Li Yuyan, who was still wearing full makeup even in bed, "Of course I do. You are the only one I loved all my life."
Li Yuyan blushed and looked down, "My dad will only let me marry you if you become successful. Zhiming, I don't want to live under He Xinyan anymore! I only have you. . . You have to help me."
Li Yuyan put on a pitiful expression, and it was hard for men to not fall for her act.
Su Zhiming gently rubbed Li Yuyan's head, "Don't worry, I will. My company is growing, and it will continue to grow. I will work hard and someday. . ." Su Zhiming scoffed, "I will beat Gu Yechen."
Li Yuyan smiled as a hopeful image of that happening appeared inside her mind.
*helemon's note: Umm, Su Zhiming, I think you should go check with a brain doctor. Excessive daydreaming is a mental illness. I mean. . . having dreams and goals is good, but you gotta make them realistic.

Back in the Xihe Estates, He Xinyan was eating dinner with Li Huiran and Bai Jiawei tonight. Although she didn't want to, she couldn't disappear every single day. At some point, they would get suspicious and He Xinyan couldn't risk it.
The meal was silent the entire time, and He Xinyan ate quickly before returning to her room. Out of boredom, He Xinyan called Wu Minger, hoping that she wasn't with Gu Yebei anymore.
"Minger," He Xinyan called.
"Yanyan, why are you calling me?"
"Nothing, just wanted to. What are you doing?" He Xinyan sat down on the couch on the balcony and stared at Gu Yechen's house.
"I just got home."
"Oh, really? Where did Gu Yebei take you?" He Xinyan asked as she raised one eyebrow curiously.
"Nowhere, we just talked for a bit in the car."
"So, do you like him. . . I mean, as a boyfriend?" He Xinyan asked carefully.
"Yes, of course! I like him a lot. I know it was very quick, but I do. I feel like I met someone I truly like, but. . ."
"But what?" He Xinyan asked with a smile. It was indeed very quick. She hadn't even seen them talk much and suddenly Gu Yebei was confessing and they were dating.
"Nothing," Wu Minger chuckled, "Oh, and I'm glad you called me. I have good news!"
"What?"
"We don't have filming this Sunday, so I found you an advertisement!"
He Xinyan jumped up, "Really?!"
"Yep, I'll go pick you up on Sunday at 8:00. It's the makeup brand, Huali." Huali wasn't the most prestigious makeup brand there was, but it still had a good reputation and had high sales. It was really amazing for her to get an advertisement already, even though not many people knew her yet.
He Xinyan talked with Wu Minger for a while longer until the sky turned completely dark and she returned back home.
At night, Gu Yechen came over and before falling asleep, He Xinyan told him about Wu Minger and Gu Yebei.
Inside a thin blanket, Gu Yechen had his hand resting on He Xinyan's waist while she laid her head against his chest.
"It seems like my brother is catching up," Gu Yechen said.
He Xinyan nodded her head in agreement. Gu Yebei and Wu Minger were really a speedy couple.
Suddenly, Gu Yechen tilted his head down and leaned his forehead against hers as he whispered, "We should hurry up. Do you think it's time to. . ."
