Seeing the two men's confrontational attitude, the director had no choice but to call it a day in order to keep his job.

"Assistant Director Zuo Li, we've almost finished shooting this episode's footage. The final wrap-up is now in your hands."

The woman beside him was slightly displeased with his words, but she didn't say anything and simply took his manuscript silently.

"Mr. Li, since Ms. Xiao is unwilling to cooperate, we hope you will cooperate to some extent."

Zuo Li's words were quite clear: she was asking him to leave Xiao He's position.

Li Xiaozhi nodded slightly, and generously stood up, returning the sofa to Xiao He.

The latter remained wary and slowly sat back down in his original position.

"Okay, let's continue." Zuo Li was very professional, carefully guiding everyone back on track.

Inspired by her spirit, Xiao He, who was in front of the camera, also returned to filming mode.

Li Xiaozhi sat on a lounge chair off-camera, legs crossed, staring unabashedly at the girl under the soft light.

The sofa wasn't high, and her smooth, long hair curled on the cushion, the ends of which dragged all the way to the carpet.

Because of her hunched-over posture in the corner, her collarbones are prominently displayed, and paired with a warm white slip dress, she is sure to evoke all sorts of fantasies at first glance.

The dress doesn't have a cinched waist, and the fleece lining from top to bottom is all soft and smooth. Even so, it can't hide her incredibly slender waist.

The skirt was originally knee-length, but because the person was sitting on the sofa with their legs bent, it slipped slightly above the knee, revealing their delicate calves.

Under the soft light, she resembled a flawless porcelain doll.

Xiao He's eyelashes trembled slightly, as if he had suddenly become distracted.

Zuo Li keenly captured this scene and immediately switched to freeze-frame playback to capture this frame.

Jinling, who was watching silently behind her, also focused her gaze on the photo.

The look in this photo is more captivating than in the previous ones.

She looked like she wanted to read to pass the time, but couldn't concentrate because of some little worries, which made people wonder where her heart had gone at that moment.

After a while, Zuo Li smiled with satisfaction.

"Alright! One last move!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao He glanced at the concept drawing, which depicted a figure standing in front of a floor-to-ceiling window, gazing into the distance.

Turning around, there's a fake window behind the sofa.

Xiao He put on his slippers, stood up, and walked to the window in a very cooperative manner.

However, Zuo Li looked at it and frowned slightly, saying, "You, take a light-colored round stool over there so she can sit on it."

Xiao He looked at the round stool placed at his feet, and without asking why, took off his slippers and stepped on it.

But Zuo Li still seemed to be missing something important, and after a long while she said to Xiao He, "Try standing on your tiptoes a little."

Hearing her say that, Xiao He placed his hand on the glass window, slightly raised his bare feet, and kept his gaze fixed on "outside the window".

Zuo Li nodded reluctantly: "That gives me a little bit of a feeling of anticipation."

Click, click...

During the process, Xiao He would also take the opportunity to rub his feet, since this posture was really too much of a test for his toes.

Li Xiaozhi remained silent, watching the figure from behind.

The previous sitting posture wasn't very noticeable, but now that she's standing on tiptoe, her figure's curves are fully revealed.

Unlike female models who directly embrace a sexy style, this is, in a sense, even sexier.

Perhaps it was because of his height that this figure appeared somewhat youthful and reserved.

Based on what Xiao He said before, it's not hard to guess that "she" has never been in contact with a man.

A smile inexplicably crept onto Li Xiaozhi's lips.

"Okay, that's all for today. Thank you all for your hard work."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Finally, I don't have to work overtime anymore!!!

However, just as everyone was about to pack up, the studio door opened again.

A slightly tired figure walked in, with some dust on his head and shoulders, as if he had just returned from a battle.

Zuo Li watched him walk into the frame and head towards Xiao He without showing any emotion.

"stop!!"

"Stop! Stop! Turn back! Take two steps to the left!"

"Yes! That's right!"

"Keep moving forward!"

"Walk slowly! Walk quietly!"

"Yes! That's right!"

Everyone stared in disbelief.

After a while, the lighting technician turned the lights back on, the cameraman restarted the recording, and the prop master pulled down the background image again.

Li Xiaozhi's smile froze, and she silently looked at this "uninvited guest".

Even if you don't want to admit it, you have to admit that this person is no worse than you.

"Is this why Zuo Li was temporarily brought into the scene? Heh."

Li Xiaozhi watched as Xiao He jumped away again, just like he had before, as if watching a play.

"Very good! Quietly move behind them!"

"Stop! Yes!"

"Wrap your arms around her waist!"

"Be gentle! Be very careful!"

"Yes! That's right!"

Zuo Li stared at the monitor screen, her mind racing.

Li Xiaozhi is the complete opposite of her.

Looking at the unexpected scene before him, he was a little confused.

"Could it be? She wasn't so determined after all?"

Xiao He was completely absorbed in the role, as if he had only just noticed the hand on his waist.

"Excellent!!" Zuo Li's eyes shone brightly.

"Slowly lower your head! Rest your forehead on her shoulder! Yes!"

"Don't move! Hold on!"

Click click...

The more Li Xiaozhi looked, the less he understood.
