Chapter 31: The Second World (7) [Part 2]

Zhuo Rui came over to support her, saying carelessly as he did, “You must be exhausted after filming. Let me send you back, otherwise I won’t feel at ease.”

Ji Mo furrowed her eyebrows. Every time she asked her assistant to fetch something, Zhuo Rui would show up. Was it just a coincidence, or was there something else to it? The other crew members also didn’t seem to reach much, as this was just how Zhuo Rui behaved on set.

However, before Zhuo Rui could reach Ji Mo, someone else pushed him away abruptly. A trace of displeasure flashed across his face.

“Done filming for today?” Yun Luo assisted her and asked with a worried expression, “Your condition seems really off. Wait until we go to the hospital to have a check-up. I’m here because of the two kids’ request, so if I don’t take you to the hospital, those two kids will be angry.”

Ji Mo nodded and said, “Alright.”

She knew her current state would undoubtedly raise suspicions of illness.

Yun Luo put her hand on Ji Mo’s forehead and said, “It’s quite cool.”

As Yun Luo accompanied Ji Mo to the hospital, she glanced back at Zhuo Rui. If she didn’t misunderstand, Ji Mo had been fine just a moment ago. It was only after she talked to Zhuo Rui that the situation arose.

After she escorted Ji Mo to get inside the car, Yun Luo sent a message to her assistant: “After filming yesterday, did Ji Mo have any contact with Zhuo Rui or talk to him?”

It’s not like this kind of thing is a secret, so it didn’t take long before the answers to her question came out.

The assistant’s response came when they were almost at the hospital. The assistant’s reply was as follows: That’s correct, Ms. Yun. After filming yesterday, Zhuo Rui seemed to want to invite Ms. Ji to dinner but was rejected by her. It looked like… He was chasing after Ms. Ji.

After Ji Mo went for her check-up, Yun Luo fell into contemplation. Ji Mo experienced discomfort because of Zhuo Rui, but according to the information, they didn’t know each other, which seemed a bit strange.

The medical examination results showed that everything was normal and that she was quite healthy.

Ji Mo was a salted fish who enjoyed eating and drinking. She also maintained regular physical exercise, making her healthier than most other artists.

A lot of female artists had issues due to dieting, but Ji Mo didn’t have such problems, nor did she suffer from any illness.

“Ms. Yun, be sure to take this medical report back for the two little ones to see, so they won’t worry about me,” Ji Mo smiled and said.

Yun Luo nodded. “Of course, don’t worry. They’ll thoroughly study your medical report.”

Ji Mo made a slightly awkward expression. Being so closely monitored by those two little bosses was indeed extraordinary.

“Did you know Zhuo Rui before?” Yun Hui asked without beating around the bush, as she had noticed that Ji Mo was also a frank person.

Ji Mo shook her head and said, “We didn’t know each other before.”

“But I noticed that your condition just now seemed to be related to Zhuo Rui,” Yun Luo said.

Ji Mo was somewhat surprised. Did Yun Luo discover something? However, she wasn’t nervous at all.

“Are you afraid of men?” With a solemn expression, Yun Luo questioned: “This falls under a psychological condition. If you have time, you can visit a psychologist. Maybe you can find the cause of why you have this condition and also its possible treatment.”

On Yun Luo’s face was a look of certainty. As far as she knew, Ji Mo had just turned eighteen, and she was currently single without a boyfriend or girlfriend.

Ji Mo: “…”

She thought Yun Luo had found something important, but it turned out she just thought she had a problem.

“I don’t have this reaction to other men.” Ji Mo explained, “I don’t know why, but I have a strong reaction when facing Zhuo Rui. The feeling he gives me is not good.”

“Is that so?” It was the first time for Yun Luo to hear such a condition, and in any case, she still felt that Ji Mo had a problem. “Then try not to go near him in the future. I see that he’s been causing you distress.”

One month later, Ji Mo finished filming her scenes.

Since her role was quite important, the director treated the cast to a meal. All the artists playing significant roles in the drama attended, and Zhuo Rui was naturally among them.

When attending the dinner, Ji Mo instructed her assistant to keep an eye on her from the side.

With her assistant present, Ji Mo felt at ease enough to drink some alcohol. She had experienced such situations before, and her assistant would take care of her and ensure that she left safely.

Sure enough, before the dinner ended, she got drunk. Ji Mo mentally rolled her eyes and doubted whether this constitution was an obstacle to her mission.

System No. 444: [Host No. 44, your speculation is not wrong. This is indeed an obstacle to your mission. You can do it! ]

Ji Mo: “Don’t you think it’s ridiculous?”

System No. 444: [This is the difficulty of being a small cannon fodder, otherwise are you thinking that the high salary was so easy to get?]

Ji Mo fell silent. She was drunkenly leaning back in her chair, feeling somewhat reassured with her assistant by her side.

As the dinner came to an end, Zhuo Rui really took the initiative to drive Ji Mo home. Everyone understood Zhuo Rui’s intention, and they all exchanged meaningful glances, but no one said anything. Such things were common in the entertainment industry.

“You’re drunk, I’ll send you home,” Zhuo Rui said softly.

Ji Mo sobered up a lot with a jolt after Zhuo Rui’s words. Her eyes met Zhuo Rui next to her, and she forced herself to hold back her discomfort. “No need, I have my assistant.”

“Can your assistant handle it alone?” Zhuo Rui continued, “She also needs to drive, so there will be no one to take care of you. How about this, I’ll just assist you to go inside your car. You’re all girls, and you don’t have the strength of a man.”

Ji Mo disagreed, “My assistant is strong enough.”

The assistant also nodded her head and said in a straightforward manner, “I am strong enough.”

Saying so, she squatted down, and Ji Mo climbed onto her back. This is why she hired an assistant who was strong, skilled, and taller. Look, it’s already coming in handy!
