Chapter 1180 1280. Torment
Joseph looked up and saw Nie Wei's gentle smile.
"You got into such a big trouble yesterday. I heard that you spent the whole night in the hospital. You must not have had breakfast. Now, don't say that the boss doesn't take care of you. This is the breakfast prepared for you."
As Nie Wei said, Joseph found that there were several breakfasts on the table in front of him, including sandwiches, milk, and a small bowl of fruit salad. They were very ordinary, but they looked particularly tempting at this time.
When Joseph saw these dishes, his stomach couldn't help but gurgle and set off an alarm.
As Nie Wei expected, Joseph stayed with those who had food poisoning in the hospital for a night, and then came to the set early. Not to mention today's breakfast, he only ate half of yesterday's dinner.
Originally, Nie Wei didn't say that he didn't feel hungry, but now that Nie Wei reminded him that there was food in front of him, Joseph immediately awakened the hunger in his body.
"Boss, can I eat it?"
"Nonsense, this is for you."
Joseph grinned, sat down immediately and picked up the sandwich and gobbled it up. Nie Wei also thoughtfully pushed the milk on the table in front of him, indicating that he should eat slowly.
But Joseph, who was extremely hungry, didn't care about these. He swallowed the sandwich in a few bites and almost choked himself to death. Then he drank a glass of milk in one gulp. With food in his stomach, he looked much better, but the sadness between his eyebrows was not wiped away.
"Boss, I made a mistake again." Joseph unconsciously fiddled with the fruit salad on the plate with a fork, while actively admitting his mistake.
Joseph caused Nina and his five assistants to be hospitalized. Although the situation was not serious, it caused trouble for the crew. Nie Wei not only did not scold him, but also thoughtfully prepared breakfast for him, which made Joseph feel more guilty.
"You were really careless this time. Fortunately, there was no big problem. I think you should give up the idea of going into the kitchen for the time being." Nie Wei smiled.
He had already found out about the five assistants who were hospitalized. It was just a mild poisoning that caused acute enteritis. In fact, they didn't even need to go to the hospital. They just needed to go to the toilet more often and take a few pills.
It wasn't a big deal, but it also reminded Nie Wei. Fortunately, Joseph didn't eat the cakes he made, otherwise it would be really troublesome.
"But I didn't come to you this time to ask for punishment. I just want to ask you, what do you think about pursuing Nina?" Nie Wei asked directly.
This question really hit the point, and Joseph didn't know how to answer for a while.
Others saw him pursuing girls every day and persevering, so they thought he was big-hearted, but Joseph was not a heartless person. He might not be moved if he was rejected once or twice, but after such a long time, he was rejected more than ten times. No matter how big-hearted Joseph was, he should have some ideas.
Especially in this case where the girl's mind is unclear, even the most infatuated boy would probably feel tired.
"I remember asking you a question before, but you didn't give me a clear answer at that time. Now I ask you again, do you really like Nina?" Nie Wei asked.
"Of course!" This time Joseph answered immediately without hesitation.
After these days of pursuit, Joseph has become more and more clear about his feelings. He really likes Nina. At the same time, he also understands a truth, that is, feelings cannot be forced.
Although Joseph made some mistakes, he also felt that he had been enthusiastic and hardworking enough, but Nina was unmoved. Sometimes Joseph even wanted Nina to scold him a few words like she did at the beginning, which was better than being lukewarm now, making him feel that there was an indescribable sense of alienation between him and Nina.
Just like yesterday, Joseph made a mistake and sent Nina's life assistant and a makeup assistant to the ward. If it were in the past, Nina would definitely have a big fight with him, but it was different now. When Nina heard the news, she even frowned slightly and ignored Joseph.
Joseph was very depressed. He felt like there was a dam between him and Nina. One side was turbulent, and the other side was as quiet as still water. They seemed very close, but they were completely different worlds.
"Boss, what do you think? Is my description very similar?" Joseph told Nie Wei what he was thinking. He felt that Nie Wei was someone he could confide in.
"The description is quite interesting." After hearing what Joseph said, Nie Wei couldn't help laughing.
"Boss, you are still in the mood to laugh. I feel like I'm about to get depressed." Joseph sighed helplessly. He didn't want to laugh at all, but wanted to cry.
After pursuing Nina for so many days, he was still treated as a joke by the group of people in the same group. Joseph felt that he was really a failure.
"Okay, I'm not laughing at you. Isn't what you are most confused about now what Nina's feelings are? Do you want me to help you test it?"
"Boss, can you really test it?" Joseph was immediately refreshed when he heard it.
What bothers him most now is that he doesn't understand Nina's feelings. He always feels that she is lukewarm towards him. But if he knew that Nina liked him even a little bit, Joseph felt that he could persist.
"It should be no problem." Nie Wei replied.
"Then how should I test it? Should I call Nina over? Should I hide?" Joseph really wanted to know how Nina felt about him, but he was afraid of hearing the result he didn't want to hear, and he began to feel uneasy.
Looking at Joseph's nervous face, Nie Wei shook his head.
"Even if I ask Nina in person, she may not tell the truth, but I think through a psychological test, I can roughly test whether Nina has a good impression of you."
"Then how to do it?"
"You don't have to do anything, you just need to suspend your pursuit offensive, and leave the rest to me."
The method used by Nie Wei is actually very simple. People have inertia. When a person does something that he originally doesn't want to do for a period of time, he will gradually regard this unwilling thing as his daily behavior.
This duration is basically about 30 days, and Joseph's love offensive against Nina has far exceeded this duration. In Nie Wei's opinion, Nina should have developed an inertia mentality towards Joseph's daily confession.
When Joseph suddenly stopped confessing one day, Nina would feel uncomfortable, and this time is the best time to confirm a girl's true feelings.
Although Joseph didn't understand, he listened to Nie Wei's words very much, mainly because he was too guilty and embarrassed to face Nina, so on this day, except for normal shooting, he really didn't go to "harass" Nina.
This surprised the whole crew. Joseph actually gave himself a "holiday"?
"Oh my God, has our infatuated Joseph finally come to his senses?"
"It's over. My life will be so boring without Joseph chasing girls."
"How big a blow has this child suffered? I feel sorry for him."
Not only the staff, but even the only assistant who survived beside Nina was surprised that she didn't see Joseph today. To be honest, she was looking forward to Joseph's arrival.
In her opinion, Joseph was a very generous man. He would never come empty-handed. Sometimes he would bring fruits, sometimes desserts. The prices were not expensive, but he was very thoughtful. They could also eat and drink with him, except for those dangerous little cakes yesterday.
Thinking of this, the assistant looked at Nina, but found that her boss was reading a book.
"Nina, Joseph didn't come today. Aren't you curious why?" the assistant asked.
"Why should I be curious? Isn't it better if he doesn't come?" Nina paused, then focused on the book again, and answered casually.
"Why not come? I really hope he comes." The assistant pouted unsatisfiedly after hearing Nina's answer. She had already changed her impression of Joseph. She really thought Joseph was cute. Although his methods of chasing girls were childish, they were sincere enough.
The assistant felt that if she were Nina, she would have agreed to the pursuit of such a cute boy.
"If you want him to come, then go find him. I still have to study. Don't disturb me." Nina replied impatiently, and the assistant didn't dare to ask anything.
It was impossible to go to Joseph. The assistant was still sober and knew that she was Nina's assistant. Although Nina seemed to be fine now, who could guarantee that Nina would have nothing to do in a while? She still had to stick to her post and deserve the salary she got.
In addition, anyone with a little emotional intelligence also knew that Nina's words just now were angry words. If she really went, she would probably be fired.
However, although she couldn't go to Joseph in person, the assistant could call the other party's assistant through her mobile phone.
As Joseph continued to pursue Nina during this period, the assistants of both sides became very familiar with each other, and even set up a chat group privately.
Nina's assistant asked in the group: "Where is Mr. Joseph? Why didn't he come today? Is he not feeling well?"
Someone soon replied to her: "Joseph went back to the hotel directly after work, and has not come out yet. I don't know why, but he is definitely not feeling well."
"It's so strange. I don't understand why Joseph didn't go to Nina today. Is it because he feels guilty about what happened yesterday?"
"Tang En, Lulu and others didn't blame Joseph. They all knew that he had good intentions, but he just did the wrong thing, and Joseph also compensated him." Nina's assistant replied.
The two assistants who survived the disaster chatted in the group for a long time, basically talking about why Joseph didn't come to Nina today.
Just as Nie Wei said, not only Nina developed an inertia mentality, but in fact the entire crew, especially the group of people around the two, also developed an inertia mentality.
They all wondered why Joseph, who had always been unshakable, suddenly stopped coming one day.
On the other side, Nina seemed to be reading a book, but her mind was not on the book at all.
Usually, she always complained that Joseph was too annoying. He had to appear in front of her every day, and he had so many fancy and funny confessions, which always made her embarrassed. She should be happy that Joseph didn't show up today.
In fact, she was a little happy at the beginning, but soon this happiness disappeared. She began to wonder why Joseph didn't come?
There are many reasons, but Nina didn't realize that the more she thought about the reasons, the more empty she felt in her heart.
"Nina, I think Joseph may be embarrassed to come because of guilt."
"It's best if he doesn't come. We can also be quiet." Nina answered hypocritically.
Most people thought the same as Nina's assistant, thinking that Joseph was too embarrassed to see Nina for a while because of guilt, but what surprised everyone was that Joseph didn't go to see Nina for a day or two, but for a whole week, except for working on the set, Joseph didn't look for Nina from beginning to end.
The two of them seemed like strangers for a while, which made many people who were ready to see a love story sigh.
"I think Joseph was already a little discouraged, and after this accident, he probably felt ashamed to face Nina again, so he just gave up."
"It's just a pity, I originally wanted to see the happy enemies become lovers and finally get married."
"This is not an idol drama, not everything will have a perfect ending. I think Joseph gave up decisively, very manly, he loved too humbly, I can't stand it."
"Did Nina really not feel moved at all? I think she doesn't seem to be affected at all."
"A heartless woman."
The private discussions of the staff will eventually reach the ears of the two parties. Nina did not comment on those people's comments on her, but she also began to ask herself, do you really care about Joseph at all?
On the other side, Joseph was also suffering. He was really afraid that Nie Wei's method would not work, but would cut off the possibility between him and Nina. What if Nina thought he was not persistent or even sincere enough, what should he do?
Two people who have never communicated with each other are now tangled up in their hearts because of the same thing.
Joseph felt better than Nina, at least he had Nie Wei to talk to, while Nina could only think about it alone.
A week later, things seemed to have come to an end. Joseph's "giving up" and Nina's "not caring" made this relationship seem doomed to fail.
However, just when everyone was ready to accept the ending, Nina took the initiative to ask Joseph to have dinner together when she was done with work.
Joseph was stunned at that moment, and his expression of surprise could not even be concealed at all. Nina saw it all. For some reason, seeing Joseph's surprised look, Nina suddenly wanted to laugh too. The mood that had been suppressed for a week seemed to bloom like fireworks at this moment...
