Sheng Qing is injured.

The injury was neither minor nor serious.

There was no broken skin or bleeding, just a red patch.

At that time, Pei Muzhi was not hanging very high, nor was he far from Sheng Qing. In addition, he intentionally controlled his strength, so naturally nothing serious happened.

Sheng Qing insisted on auditioning. Out of guilt and a desire to make amends, the production crew specially had a chair brought over and placed under the shade of a tree. They gently told her, "Please wait a moment."

Sheng Qing was both excited and incredulous to receive such a solemn treatment from the "Phoenix Legend" production team.

It's worth noting that in the entertainment industry, even top-tier stars might not receive such preferential treatment when auditioning for a major production like "The Legend of Phoenix."

She was just a newcomer who had only recently entered the entertainment industry, and she never expected to receive such preferential treatment from "The Legend of Phoenix".

Thinking of this, Sheng Qing touched the throbbing spot on her arm and felt that the blow she had just received was worth it.

Moreover, it wasn't the film crew that truly hurt her...

Thinking of this, Sheng Qing looked meaningfully in the direction of Pei Muzhi...

At first glance, it seemed fine, but upon closer inspection, it turned out to be quite alarming.

Upon seeing the familiar figure beside Pei Muzhi, Sheng Qing's pupils contracted sharply.

What is she doing here?

What is her relationship with Pei Muzhi?

Sheng Qing stared intently at Qin Wan.

"Get up." Qin Wan was looking at the script in her hand when someone suddenly pulled up the hood of her hoodie...

Qin Wan looked up blankly: "What are you doing?"

"Change seats." Pei Muzhi's expression didn't look good.

Qin Wan frowned, but still obediently got up and switched places with Pei Muzhi.

Just as she sat down in Pei Muzhi's seat and looked straight ahead, she caught Sheng Qing's malicious eyes.

They made eye contact for less than a second before Pei Muzhi sat down in front of her, blocking her view and turning his back to Sheng Qing.

Qin Wan raised an eyebrow.

So thoughtful?

"elder brother."

Pei Muzhi glanced at her and snorted softly, "Hmm?"

"My scene is about to start, but I don't quite understand this scene."

"where?"

Qin Wan handed over the script, leaned close to Pei Muzhi, and pointed to the script in her hand, pretending to be troubled.

"It was this loving gaze that..."

"I've never been in a relationship, so I don't know what it feels like to like someone..."

In "The Legend of Phoenix", Qin Wan plays the devoted third female lead who has a crush on the male lead, played by Pei Muzhi.

The scene Qin Wan described would not have been difficult for most female stars in the entertainment industry.

But the role was played by Qin Wan...

She can, but she has perfectly legitimate reasons to say she can't.

Pei Muzhi frowned at her, "How did you pass the audition?"

Qin Wan said innocently, "You weren't there during the audition, brother. I was acting opposite Movie Emperor Lu..."

Upon hearing her explanation, Pei Muzhi's eyes darkened slightly, and he stared at Qin Wan with a hint of displeasure.

"What? Am I uglier than him? Or am my acting worse than his, to the point that your acting has deteriorated to the point where you can't even feel it anymore?"

Pei Muzhi was unhappy.

Pei Muzhi's favorability decreased by 2, from 34.

Qin Wan remained completely unfazed by the fluctuations in her favorability rating.

“You’re more handsome than him,” Qin Wan said seriously after staring at him for a second.

Upon hearing this, Pei Muzhi glanced at her, and his tightly furrowed brows visibly relaxed a little.

Pei Muzhi's favorability increased by 2, current favorability is 36.

"Your acting is better than his..." Qin Wan continued to explain.

Pei Muzhi's favorability increased by 2, current favorability is 38.

"Now that you put it that way, I'm even more curious." As he spoke, there was no trace of displeasure in Pei Muzhi's eyes.

"I don't know Actor Lu at all; we're complete strangers. So there's no pressure acting out romantic scenes with him."

"But you're different..."

Qin Wan looked at Pei Muzhi with a troubled expression.

"You're my brother..."

"I can't imagine what it would be like if I fell in love with you..."

After Qin Wan finished speaking, Pei Muzhi was inevitably stunned.

That's a great question!

He didn't know either!

"We've known each other for over ten years..."

"I've been calling you 'brother' for over ten years..."

"I can't imagine what it would be like if I fell in love with you..."

But after only a second of stunned silence, Pei Muzhi quickly regained his senses, frowning and glaring at Qin Wan.

"Qin Wan, can you please wake up?"

"We are acting now."

"It's to make you act like you have a crush on me, not to make you actually fall in love with me."

"You don't need to fantasize about what you would be like if you fell in love with me, because you don't need to!"

Do you understand?

"..." Qin Wan blinked her innocent big eyes and didn't say a word.

Pei Muzhi took a deep breath, "Even if you really can't control yourself and insist on fantasizing about falling in love with me, that's not impossible."

"I can't imagine it."

No sooner had Pei Muzhi finished speaking than Qin Wan's response and rebuttal followed.

"No, Qin Wan, explain yourself clearly, what do you mean?"

"Can't you imagine it?"

"I'm so handsome, I have such a great physique, and my voice is so deep and magnetic, so tell me, what's it about me that doesn't attract you?"

Stared at by Pei Muzhi, Qin Wan blinked innocently and said, "You're my brother."

Pei Muzhi: "Do you need to tell me?"

"Because... you're my brother," Qin Wan said softly again.

Pei Muzhi's breath hitched. After taking a deep breath, he looked at Qin Wan with a serious expression.

"Qin Wan, wake up. Although we are siblings, we are not related by blood."

"I know."

“But we’ve been like siblings for over a decade, and I’ve called you brother for over a decade.”

“In my heart, you are my brother, even though we are not related by blood.”

Pei Muzhi stared at her intently, deeply…

After a long pause, he finally managed to stammer, "You're hopeless."

After saying that, Pei Muzhi stuffed the script back into Qin Wan's hands.

He lifted her hood again, put it on her, and pulled the drawstring to completely cover Qin Wan's "obtrusive" face.

Pei Muzhi got up, intending to find a quiet corner to calm herself down...

As soon as they turned around, they saw Sheng Qing staring at them from the other side.

Pei Muzhi pursed his thin lips slightly, "Have someone change her seat."

“The filming studio is only so big. No matter where we go, she can still keep an eye on her sister…” Ming said with a troubled expression.

Upon hearing this, Pei Muzhi's face darkened, and he was already considering whether to have someone call an ambulance for Sheng Qing.

Noticing Pei Muzhi's displeasure, Ming Ge's eyes darted around, and he cleverly made a suggestion.

"How about I have the props team move a screen and put it in the middle? That way we can block her view and stop her from spying on her sister."

Pei Muzhi glanced at him, gave a soft hum, which was taken as agreement.

Seeing this, Ming secretly breathed a sigh of relief and turned to get down to business.

As a result, Pei Muzhi's persistent voice came from behind him...

"etc……"

"Is there anything else?" Ming asked cautiously, looking at Pei Muzhi with unease in his eyes.
