Chapter 42: Hiding Background and Pretending

After a flurry of activity, Ji Shian stuffed the person into the carriage. Qin Yinghuai pitifully tugged at her hand, reluctant to let her go.

Qin Yinghuai: "Perhaps I still have a chance to explain?"

Ji Shian smiled professionally, took the opportunity to stroke the man's hair, and pushed him onto the stretcher: "Let's go——"

Then, a loud bang blocked Qin Yinghuai's view. She nodded politely to the driver and glanced at the alarm.

The driver had been warned in advance, "Don't worry, Jizhu, the alarm is specially made, and it's guaranteed to scream loudly when it goes off."

Ji Shi'an paused, skipping over the driver's exaggerated adjectives, stepped aside to make way, and waved, "Bon voyage."

When the car started moving, Ji Shian realized that she had just misunderstood.

The driver is obviously a realist.

It was as if ten surround sound systems were all turned up to maximum volume. Ji Shian prayed in his heart that they would not be stopped by the traffic police and charged with disturbing urban order and making noise without restraint.

The phone in her pocket vibrated slightly. She took it out and saw that it was an update to Qin Yinghuai's Moments.

[Chengyue-Qin Yinghuai]: Gone. [Sea otter wipes tears with handkerchief]

Ji Shian's eyes narrowed slightly, and he posted a message on his Moments blocking everyone, then singled out Qin Yinghuai.

[Can't calm down]: Are you sure you have blocked everyone else?

Don't let her misunderstand anything. If she's not careful and everyone watches her love history, Ji Shian gently closed his eyes. It's too exciting.

The system appeared above Ji Shian's head and shouted: [How dare you!]

Ji Shian paused his typing for a moment. "Why, haven't you seen someone spying on their ex's Moments after a breakup?"

She scrolled up and down the screen to get a clearer view. "Not a single mention of the other person, no evidence that we were speaking to each other."

She spoke each word with confidence: "So, where am I being presumptuous? Am I not respecting the plot enough?"

The system rubbed the two strands of hair in its hand, glanced at the alarm device that was as quiet as a chicken, and whispered: "Host, don't be angry. I am a monitoring system after all. My job requires me to be here. At least I have to go through the motions."

Ji Shian tolerantly forgave its rudeness, fixed his eyes on the accompanying picture, muttered that he was childish, and moved his body honestly.

Click OK. Great picture, I stole it.

Gu Rong had someone take care of the final check-out procedures, and Ji Dongran's was also finished. It had been an incredibly exciting day, and Ji Shian felt a pang of sadness as he returned home, lying in bed waiting for his health bar to automatically recharge.

I fell into a deep sleep with the feeling that “there is no limit to the circle of friends”.

*

The sky is clear and the sun is shining.

Before the moldy day came, Ji Shian accompanied Ji Dongran to the new crew. Soon after arriving, she sensitively realized that the NPCs in the new map were not very friendly.

Of course, it was directed at Ji Dongran, after all, she was just an ordinary assistant.

When Ji Dongran came back from filming, Ji Shian went to meet him, looking as if he wanted to say something but hesitated. They made eye contact and had an encrypted conversation to express their concern.

Ji Dongran maintained a gentle smile, nodding occasionally to those passing by. Turning to grab his water cup, he lowered his voice, "Watching a bunch of noobs make such a fuss, then pretending to turn their heads casually, revealing the guillotine at their waist, a flash of silver light flashed—"

A gleam flashed in her eyes for a moment, but she quickly hid it.

Ji Shian understood immediately.

It turns out that the reason why Ji Dongran insisted on hiding his background was to show off better.

I followed the other person's thoughts in my mind, briefly imagined the scene, and felt a little excited for a moment.

After a few seconds, his sanity returned, and he said regretfully, "It's already the year 3033. Such a pure and unpretentious species is already endangered, right?"

Ji Dongran touched the end of her hair and reminded her carefully: "If you encounter a villain, remember to focus your firepower. When dealing with villains, you must directly hit their pain points and get rid of them once and for all."

As soon as he finished speaking, a pretentious voice was heard.

"Hey~ Teacher Ji is here~"

Ji Shian and Ji Dongran looked in the direction of the voice.

The person who came was wearing makeup that made her look younger than 18 years old, but the fine lines at the corners of her eyes were clearly visible. As her eyes moved, Ji Shian felt a sense of familiarity in the strangeness.

Considering the occasion, she swallowed the question that was about to come to her lips, "Have we met somewhere before?"

Ji Dongran said with a smile: "Bai Yue, I heard that you were sick yesterday, and you recovered so quickly. Why don't you take a few more days of rest?"

How thoughtful the parents must be to give their child such a happy name.

Ji Shian's eyes flashed with surprise, and then he felt that the name was very familiar.

Oh! It was that rare species who was younger than Ji Dongran, but used the name of Ji Dongran to pull her blood. If I remember correctly, the other party also had a down-to-earth girl-next-door personality, and from time to time secretly stepped on Ji Dongran, the national goddess, pretending to be noble and arrogant.

This person is not friendly. Her eyes changed, her fingers were in her pockets, she silently clicked on the recording, and a professional smile was put on her face.

Bai Yue's first reaction was that Ji Dongran was cursing her. She adjusted her expression and said softly:

"Teacher Ji, you're joking. I just heard that you were the one who took over the fourth female role in 'Forgotten River', so I came here specifically to congratulate you. I haven't heard that you got a role in years."

"I have quite a few scripts from famous directors here. Do you want me to mention them to you? Seeing the death of a great goddess really makes me sad."

His brain automatically translated into Chinese, and Ji Shian narrowed his eyes to guess what the other party was thinking: It turned out that he was here to mock me.

The radar in her head suddenly sounded, and she silently took a half step forward to block Ji Dongran behind her.

When faced with a situation where there is a huge disparity in status and the main person has to act in a manner that would be unmannerly, the assistant who is "young and hot-headed, speaks bluntly and openly, so please don't bother with her" needs to step in.

The boss's mood and the assistant's mouth. She is familiar with this.

Recalling Ji Dongran's eight-character motto of focusing firepower and hitting the pain points, Ji Shian cleared his throat and said loudly: "How could Teacher Bai curse himself! Who can laugh when they are sick? And our Teacher Ji was invited by Director Shen to save the situation."

The people around vaguely heard the noise and looked over in twos and threes with curiosity.

Bai Yue's face was stiff: "I'm talking to Teacher Ji, why are you, an assistant, butting in?"

Ji Shian blinked and bowed 90 degrees without hesitation, his posture extremely humble. "I'm sorry! I just came back from your fan chat, and seeing your fans all wanting you to be happy, I couldn't help but say my best wishes."

I wish you happiness every day.

She paused and added, "I've seen many people say that you and our teacher Ji have similarities, but after meeting you today, I realized that they were all rumors. You are clearly a school of your own!"

The blood-sucking flow that is both responsible and independent, and the armored flow that is extremely thick-skinned.

"What nonsense!" Bai Yue felt hurt, and anger flashed in his eyes. He turned to Ji Dongran and said, "Teacher Ji, you can't even find a competent assistant now. Do you need me to pick one for you?"

Ji Dongran's eyes turned cold, and he was about to say something when Ji Shian spoke first.

"I, I wanted to compliment you. I'm sorry, but I didn't really hit the mark."

She dragged out her voice, flicked her sleeves and wiped the corners of her eyes, her whole body swaying, full of a broken feeling, and she used the acting skills she had practiced hard when playing the role of Xiao Baihua to make a sound of "wuwuwu".

"Teacher Bai, please don't replace me. I grew up alone, helpless, and finally managed to finish my studies. I met Teacher Ji, who was kind enough to take me in and didn't mind my clumsiness... Wuuuuuuu... Please, don't send me away. I want to repay you!"

Everyone looked at each other. For some reason, Ji Dongran's assistant suddenly started crying, and more and more people gathered here.

After Bai Yue came to the crew, he fell ill every few days. Everyone knew whether it was true or not. The filming progress was constantly delayed, but the salary did not increase. Everyone had been angry for a long time.

Not to mention Bai Yue is incredibly unpredictable. When she's in a good mood, she'll casually compliment the crew, but when she's in a bad mood, she'll just go looking for trouble. She once ripped the makeup artist's face to shreds and even stepped on it in front of a crowd.

The whole thing is a mysterious and unpredictable divine gold.

Some brave people took the opportunity to intervene, sneaked near Ji Shian, and shouted loudly so that the onlookers could hear clearly: "Why are you crying, Xiaoshi? Hey, you are young, it is normal for you to make mistakes accidentally. Apologize to Teacher Bai quickly. Teacher Bai is broad-minded and will forgive you."

Ji Shian didn't care whether the other party was trying to curry favor or to cause trouble for Bai Yue. He climbed up the pole, sobbing and revealing his red eyes, looking flustered.

"Teacher Bai, I'm sorry! I shouldn't have wished you a bright future and found your own path. I hope you can forgive me and give me another chance. Don't replace me with Teacher Ji."

Ji Dongran was stunned.

Oh my God, Ji Shian is taking advantage of the fact that he has no acquaintances around him and acting as he pleases.

The worry that was originally in my heart was immediately put down. You are so flexible and resilient, which is worthy of you.

She was already young, and now her eyes were red, filled with nervousness and fear. In the entertainment industry, appearances are everything, and profit is justice. Some people speculated that Ji Dongran was planning to bring her to public appearances and then promote her as a cash cow, which further tilted the balance in their hearts.

Just as everyone was about to make a move, another person joined the group chat, slid over to Ji Shian, and scolded her harshly: "How could you say such an offensive thing as wishing Teacher Bai a happy birthday!"

As soon as the words fell, everyone around him fell silent. Ji Shian raised his eyes and looked at the hero.

Yingxiong Ye Zi is the apprentice of the makeup artist who had been picked on by Bai Yue before. He is often told by his master to talk less and do more.

Ever since her master was inexplicably scolded, she had been pent up in anger for several days, and today finally gave her the chance. In her excitement, her mouth was faster than her brain, and she followed Ji Shian's words and ran through the train, but suddenly she felt something was wrong.

The alliance that hadn't even been formed was immediately fractured. Ye Zi tried to pass the buck, looking at Ji Shian and saying dryly, "How could you have given such a blessing that you actually offended Teacher Bai?"

Ji Shian looked at her tolerantly and made tea openly: "It's not Teacher Bai's fault. It's my fault that I shouldn't have taken the initiative to stand up and greet her. I won't do it again in the future."

Someone in the crowd echoed, "Remember to correct your mistakes when you are young."

Seeing this, everyone responded one after another, giving Ji Shian "responsibilities and suggestions". Ji Shian accepted them one by one, and noticed Bai Yue's ashen face out of the corner of his eye. He felt relaxed both physically and mentally, * even the ends of his hair relaxed.

The cowardly group indeed got a high score.
