Xiao He: "..."

Is this for real? Is it really that exaggerated?

Xiao He was puzzled and greatly shocked, and humbly asked, "Then what should we do?"

"What can you do? Just act out your scene as usual, and leave everything else to me."

The agent, Liu, gave a barely perceptible twitch at the corner of his mouth, his eyes even fiercer than Xiao He's.

"These little tricks are things I've already mastered."

Xiao He silently looked away.

I don't know why, but Sister Liu seems to be full of resentment... *cough* Let's light a candle for those people over there.

-

On the other side, just as Liu Rulan had guessed, Tian Heng walked back to Su Shengxi's side and earnestly instructed him: "I've prepared everything for this afternoon. Just focus on your acting and don't do anything unnecessary."

Su Shengxi nodded: "I understand, but what about Sister Liu—"

"Hmph—" Tian Heng snorted coldly, "What? Still missing your old manager?"

"How could that be?" Su Shengxi sneered. "I just wanted to tell you that she's no pushover. Since you're here to be my manager, you must be more capable than her. You won't get involved, right?"

"That's natural."

Tian Heng crossed his arms, a cold glint in his eyes. "You know Tong Junhui, right? I played a part in his retirement from the entertainment industry back then."

"Tong Junhui? The movie star that Liu Rulan used to manage?" Su Shengxi was taken aback, looking his new manager up and down. "You did this?"

Thinking of what happened back then, Tian Heng pursed his lips: "That's naturally beyond my ability, but... alright, let's not talk about that. What I mean is, don't worry. Liu Rulan is no match for me."

Su Shengxi stared at Tian Heng, remained silent for a long time, and finally looked away: "I understand."

...

In the afternoon, fans began to visit the set.

As a drama series that brings together top idol Su Shengxi and popular actress Yiman'er, it was destined to bring bloodshed from the moment filming began.

Most of the people who came to visit the set this time were fans of Su Shengxi and Yiman'er.

However, as the fourth male lead, Xiao He was also required to greet the fans, and he had already mentally prepared himself to be a supporting character.

But to everyone's surprise, several of the people who came to visit the set were actually fans who had come specifically to see him.

Xiao He was momentarily stunned when he saw fans approaching him for photos and autographs.

"Hello, Xiao He! We are all your fans! We love your Mu Ze! And your act of saving people on New Year's Day was super cool!"

One of the girls, dressed in a pretty floral dress, looked at Xiao He with bright eyes and an expectant expression: "Can I take a picture with you?"

"Of course—"

Xiao He stammered for a moment, then immediately got into character, bent down, and took a selfie with the little girl.

Five fans came specifically to see Xiao He this time, all of them very young girls, the oldest being twenty-three and the youngest seventeen. Xiao He was quite curious how they knew about the set visit, since he himself only found out about it this morning...

After fulfilling all the five girls' requests, Xiao He asked curiously, "How did you all find out about this set visit?"

"Actually, the news came from Su Shengxi's fan group." One of the girls wearing a white fluffy hair clip said shyly, "It just so happens that a few of us are in Shanghai and are all fans of yours, Brother Xiao, so we formed a small group and came here with Su Shengxi and his fans."

Xiao He understood, then chuckled and said earnestly, "Thank you so much for coming all this way to see me. I'm so happy. I thought no one would come."

"No way! Brother Xiao! You're super popular right now! Lots of fans in the fan group want to come see you!" a young girl exclaimed. "But because the news about this set visit came so quickly, many people couldn't make time, so they asked us to represent them and come see Brother Xiao!"

"Really?" Xiao He was still a little incredulous, not expecting that he already had so many people who genuinely liked him. "Don't you think I'm fierce, like a bad guy?"

Since he acquired Xiao Hei's aura, everyone's first impression of him wasn't very good. It was only after getting to know him that many people changed their opinions.

And these fans, who have never seen him in person or spoken to him, why are they so willing to like a stranger so sincerely?
