CHAPTER 294
Rushing for his shooting like every other day before Andromeda came, Liu Xueyi did not do much about his situation with her.
Left to him she was busy with the others and so, he was going to try and reach out to her at night.
How he survived the previous night, Liu Xueyi had no idea. He had to focus on other things that weren't her and managed to sleep later into the night.
Of course, it was more challenging because she was mad at him, one thing he hated to happen the most.
"Ye Yuan, get ready you would soon be on set and after that, you can take a break. Our next shoot would be in three hours' time."
"Got it, Director."
Just having him say that was like music to his ears. At the very least he knew he had an opportunity to go search for Andromeda.
With so much joy, he rushed to get changed for the scene they were shooting and to everyone's surprise, he did not make a single mistake like how he had made that morning.
A scene that had been taken five times already, he got it with ease and nailed it.
Everyone down to the Director was surprised at him. It was like the old Ye Yuan was back and with so much vigour.
Whether it was the break that was promised that motivated him, the director could not tell exactly.
Because more importantly, he wished to find the source of his motivation to enable him to use it against the latter whenever he was this way.
And as promised, once he was done, Ye Yuan ditched the set at once, leaving them to their work.

On the other hand, Andromeda dashed out to join the others for breakfast before enjoying the fun activities and games set for them.
As much fun as everything was, to her it was not fully sweet without Liu Xueyi present.
And anytime someone came in their direction, Andromeda eagerly snapped her head to the side to check on who it was.
This carried on all through that morning till noon when everyone took a break to have lunch.
At this time, she could barely hold it any longer and went ahead to seek help.
Walking towards one of the sheds for relaxation, Andromeda came to a stop right at the entrance and folded her hands.
Her gaze went straight to where Xu Fang was seated with a glass of wine on the table before him.
"Xu Fang."
Slowly he turned his head to the side only to lock eyes with her.
For a moment there, Andromeda could swear she saw the look of shock in his eyes before he masked it completely into something else while wearing a pleased and surprised smile.
"Ah, Andromeda, come and join me," Xu Fang offered calmly.
Still, she did not budge and crossed her arms in front of her chest. "Hmm."
"What is the matter, Andromeda?"
"Where is your friend?"
"I don't know, you tell me," Xu Fang lied and peeled his gaze away from her.
"Tah caught you," she half yelled and pointed at his face. Unfortunately for him, that simple act of turning away from her further proved her words true that something was up.
"Xu Fang," Andromeda called out and took steps into the shed.
Once she was in front of him, she placed both hands on her waist and stomped her foot in a threatening manner.
"I would ask this once more and that is because I know you know where Liu Xueyi is."
"Honestly, Andromeda I do not."
"Then why can you not look me in the eyes?"
"Because I find an angry woman sexy and that," he cleared his throat before bringing his gaze straight to her face. "That is wrong for me to look at you in such a way."
Rather than believing him, her eyes squinted at him suspiciously as her brows drew together. "Hmm."
"What? Do not give me that suspicious look. Liu Xueyi is my friend and I care about him so much. It would be wrong of me to look at you in such a way."
He breathed out sharply and once more looked away.
Understanding the reason he gave; Andromeda was about scolding him too when he turned his head in her direction and held her gaze.
"Look, Andy, I cannot know where Xueyi is. All I can say is that he left for work earlier today."
"The meeting?" Andromeda asked and in return, all she got was a shrug from him.
"I thought he would be done by now," she added and let her shoulders slump in defeat.
"Who knows? I was with you guys all day. It is not like I do not have my own responsibilities to handle but they do not include babysitting a grown man."
She pursed her lips together, rolling her eyes at him as she did so.
"All right. I believe you."
"As you should. Now you should stop worrying your pretty head and relax."
Just as those words left his lips, some of the ladies with them came over to the shed with a whole new request for him.
"Sir."
Holding his palm up to stop them, Xu Fang corrected quickly. "Hold up, I said it is Xu Fang while we are on this vacation. I do not want to be looked at like an old man."
"Sorry. Please we want to lick ice cream. And we were wondering if you could help us get some."
Andromeda watched his chest rise and fall while breathing out slowly. It was obvious he did not want to be stressed but given the situation, she knew he would go.
"Do not worry," Andromeda voiced out quickly.
"Huh?" Everyone chorused and turned their gaze towards her.
"You said?"
"I said do not worry, Xu Fang. I would go get it for them or place an order and have them deliver it here."
"Are you sure?"
"Yeah. Just relax and leave this to me."
With a small smile adorning the corners of her lips, she got her cue and motivation to go search for Liu Xueyi.
