The WeChat profile picture is a cartoon sun.

Song Leilei held her phone with satisfaction. She lowered her head slightly, looking shyly at Xia Xinyuan on the stage. Her girlish infatuation was all too obvious.

The host immediately saw through the scheme and deliberately made an excuse to call Song Leilei over to go over the script with Xia Xinyuan.

Xia Xinyuan recognized her as the junior he had met at the airport that day. Thinking of the new friend he had just added, he guessed what the junior was thinking.

The two didn't say much, they were discussing what they were going to record later.

Song Leilei couldn't help but steal glances at Xia Xinyuan, not listening to a single word he said.

After the show was finished, Song Leilei was still immersed in her beautiful romantic fantasies. Xu Jingzhi took some time to pick her up and saw that she was sometimes laughing and sometimes staring blankly. He waved his hand in front of her eyes.

"It's just Xia Xinyuan, is it really that big of a deal?"

"As for it, as for it." Song Leilei cupped her cheeks in her hands, her eyes sparkling with pink bubbles, "Brother Xinyuan speaks so gently, even his eyes seem to speak. He's kind and friendly, he's a rare gem of a man."

Upon hearing this, Xu Jingzhi saw her step out of the elevator, pressed the button for the first floor, and returned the way he came, without escorting her to her doorstep.

Xu Jingzhi invited his friends to play games together. The group of them connected via voice chat in the game, but Xu Jingzhi remained silent, frowning as he controlled his hero.

"Bottom lane, bottom lane, oh dear, died again."

"Why isn't Brother Xu saying anything? Brother Xu, are you there? Are you there?"

"Brother Xu, come help quickly."

These people say they're playing games, but they're more good at talking than actually playing.

Xu Jingzhi did not reply to them, but then she heard someone singing again.

Three minutes later, Xu Jingzhi sat down at the computer desk, put down her phone, and leaned back.

The voices of those friends could still be heard on the phone.

"Are you AFK? Brother Xu, don't AFK! No matter what's wrong, don't give up on the game! This is my promotion match!!"

Please come back soon!

Xu Jingzhi propped one cheek up with her hand and said, "You guys, answer a few questions for me, and I'll be back."

"Brother Xu, ask away, we'll tell you everything we know."

Xu Jingzhi: "Do you guys think Xia Xinyuan is handsome?"

"Huh? What's that?"

"Who is Xia Xinyuan? That name sounds familiar. Is he someone we play games with?"

"I remember now, my girlfriend likes Xia Xinyuan, an actor, and he's quite handsome. Brother Xu, you like Xia Xinyuan? I'll get you a stack of his autographed photos when I attend a jewelry gala sometime!"

Xu Jingzhi scoffed, "Then I really thank you. I'll burn his autographed photo for you in a few days."

"......"

"Ah, another one died. Brother Xu, we can't hold on any longer. Come back quickly."

"One last question," Xu Jingzhi thought for a moment as he listened to the sound effects of his brothers being killed, "If you had a younger sister who liked a male celebrity, what would you do?"

"Kill him! Kill him!"

Xu Jingzhi stroked his chin. "This is illegal. You can't do illegal things." Although it felt very satisfying.

"I said we killed the enemy who was trying to steal the tower, Brother Xu. We're already in complete chaos. Don't think about this. Let's sit down and discuss it later."

Xu Jingzhi: "......"

In this game, after Xu Jingzhi rejoined the fray, they turned the tide in just five minutes, and his teammates breathed a sigh of relief.

After the game, the brothers all used their unique skills to find out all sorts of information about Xia Xinyuan, including his preferences and even how many girlfriends he had in private.

"He really is a scumbag."

"It's bound to collapse sooner or later."

"This kind is the most disgusting. We are all openly promiscuous, but these people seem reliable on the surface, but they are even more promiscuous than us behind the scenes. They are two-faced. Actors are just actors after all, they can't be respectable."

Hearing the last sentence, Xu Jingzhi became unhappy. "Who says actors can't be respectable? That's only a part of it. There are also hardworking actors." Leilei is a good example of someone who works very hard.

"I admit I misspoke, Brother Xu. I'll slap myself."

Xu Jingzhi already knew Xia Xinyuan's true colors, but she didn't know how to tell Song Leilei.

She definitely won't believe me if I tell her directly, and she might not believe me even if I present evidence.

Xu Jingzhi steeled his heart and told Song Leilei the truth.

Sure enough, she didn't believe it.

Not only did she not believe him, she also blocked him immediately.

Xu Jingzhi: "...Alright, I was just being nosy. She's not my own sister. If she wants to jump into a fire pit, let her jump. I'm just worrying about things that don't concern me."

In the apartment, Song Leilei nestled on the sofa and listened to those voice messages again, complaining as she listened: "All they do is cause trouble for our Xinyuan brother. It's outrageous, and they've even started spreading rumors."

She typed out those intimate photos of Xia Xinyuan with different women, a sneer playing on her lips. "They're just photoshopped pictures, and they're so badly photoshopped."

She then sent the photo to Xiaojin.

Su Jin looked at the photos and disagreed with her thoughts, so she couldn't help but remind Lei Lei again: "Xu Jingzhi probably wouldn't use something like this to tease you. I think Xia Xinyuan should stay away from you. If he falls from grace, all the actresses associated with him will be implicated."

Zheng Lin brought over hot milk for Su Jin and glanced at the photos as well. He immediately saw through them, saying, "These photos can't possibly be photoshopped. I handled a case before where someone used photoshopped photos as evidence, and they were exposed in court."

Actually, it's quite simple to tell if something has been photoshopped. You can compare the lighting, colors, and lines. Sometimes the lighting is inconsistent, and that's easy to spot.

“But Leilei doesn’t believe it now, and it’s no use just because we can see it.” Su Jin was also a little worried. Leilei was too naive, and her only goal in life was Xia Xinyuan. Under such special circumstances, how could they possibly correct Leilei’s thinking?

"So that's what you're worried about." Zheng Lin saw through the matter. "Xu Jingzhi will manage on his own; he doesn't need us. Now it's Xu Jingzhi's turn to have a headache."

He didn't want to see Xiao Jin looking downcast. Seeing that it was still early, he said, "I heard there's a comedy movie that's really good. I'll have them bring it over and show it now."

Like most women, Su Jin enjoys watching TV series and movies. There were two private cinemas in the Zheng family manor.

The private cinema is fully equipped, and the environment is better and more dreamlike than that of the public cinemas. As soon as you enter, the light and shadow are intertwined.

Zheng Lin led Su Jin to sit in the middle seat, which was a soft bed where they could sit or lie down. There were small tables on both sides filled with snacks and drinks.

The maid brought over a large bucket of freshly popped popcorn, which Su Jin held in her arms, while Zheng Lin helped her open the lemonade with a straw.
