Chapter 179 Ism so proud of her... (1/2)
The whole crew was in tears as they could feel the lyrics with so many feelings in it. Moreover, how Ethan Lu sang and delivered it, they were beyond touch by the unrequited love of the rabbit to Chang'e as it was too noble.
”Tch… even in the movie, he's going all out with his public display of affection.” Grumbling beside Rika, Elliot Gong dissed as he could not believe that Ethan Lu had gone this extreme to impress Lexi.
”Shut up, boo hoo~! How can he be so perfect? Chang'e should abandon Long Yutao!” Wiping her tears on the corner of her eyes, Rika expressed the overwhelming feelings she felt from the scene.
”Stop destroying my ship!” After she wiped her tears, Rika vented her frustration to the innocent Elliot Gong who was just doing his best in portraying Long Yutao's character. She pinched his shoulder and mildly slapped them as she continued to accuse him of interfering with her ship.
Meanwhile, Ethan Lu walked towards Lexi with a smile. Lending his hand out, he helped her stand up from wherever she laid earlier.
”Thanks,” Forcing a smile, Lexi awkwardly send her appreciation.
”Sorry about last night,” Since she was ignoring him for a whole day, Ethan Lu took advantage of the fact that they were in the middle of the set as everyone started doing what they needed to do.
”Uh… it's fine. Forget about it.” Slightly shaking her head sideways, Lexi murmured.
”It's not fine…” Upon hearing her response, Ethan Lu frowned. He resumed, ”I will understand if you get mad at me, punch me, kick me, or curse me— it's fine, but don't ignore me… please?”
”Ethan, I am alright, okay? And, I am not ignoring you because of that.” Rolling her eyes, Lexi heavily sighed.
Indeed, surprisingly enough, Lexi wasn't entirely mad about what he did. However, her heart was uncontrollably racing last night until she fell asleep for god knows how late. Hence, she tried to remain distant for the day since every time she sees him, her heart started to beat faster and reminded her about his heated soft lips touching her skin.
”Huh?” Confused, Ethan Lu was puzzled if he should believe her or not. After all, he certainly believed that what happened last night traumatized her. Hence, he already gave Lyrick Jiang the shock of his life that he would be working on the temple while he cleanses his immoral soul.
Just then, the assistant director approached them saying Arnold Shen wanted to talk with them. After receiving the message, Ethan Lu and Lexi agreed and followed the assistant director— pausing their conversation.

”Uh… ” Rubbing his chin, Arnold Shen was conflicted about where this story was going.
First, they made some twists in the story with the ending of Long Yutao and Chang'e due to their chemistry. However, after the scene with Ethan Lu, even the writers were struggling as Lexi and Ethan Lu's chemistry was great as well. What's more? The effect of the scene actually gave Long Yutao in a bad situation— hence, the dilemma.
”Hehe, Director Shen, can I have a minute?” Guessing what he wanted to discuss, Ethan Lu smiled.
When both Ethan Lu and Arnold Shen were a little farther from them, Ethan Lu started talking while Arnold Shen lent him an ear.
”You know Director Shen, I don't want to make things harder for you just because I'm your investor. But, I have another request. Will you hear me out?”
