"Action!"

At Director Xu's command, Su Jin suppressed her resentment and quickly got into character.

Xiang Ming, who is obsessed with his sister, is fighting with the male lead, Lu Zenan, in front of them.

Xiang Xun'er tried to step forward to stop them, attempting to get the two to stop, but Lu Zenan and Xiang Ming couldn't control their strength and shoved Xiang Xun'er hard.

At the critical moment...

Just as Xiang Xun'er was about to collapse, a pair of long, strong hands caught her steadily.

Xiang Xun'er looked up at him in surprise...

Their eyes met, and Qin Chi, played by Huo Yu, frowned as he looked at Xiang Xun'er in his arms. "Are you alright?"

Xiang Xun'er shook her head gently and quickly steadied herself to get away from Huo Yu.

"I'm fine."

"It's my brother..."

As she spoke, Xiang Xun'er looked at Lu Zenan and Xiang Ming, who were wrestling together, with concern in her eyes.

Qin Chi glanced at it and said calmly, "Your brother won't lose."

Upon hearing this, Xiang Xun'er gently bit her lower lip, "I know..."

Seeing that the worry in her eyes had only increased, Qin Chi's gaze darkened slightly. "Are you worried about Lu Zenan?"

A flicker of panic crossed Xiang Xun'er's eyes.

She was indeed...worried.

But she also knew that Lu Zenan didn't need her to worry about him.

Thinking of this, Xiang Xun'er lowered her eyes to hide the loneliness in them.

Seeing this, Qin Chi stared at her for a few seconds, then his cold gaze swept towards Lu Zenan not far away, a hint of suspicion appearing between his brows.

"What do you like about him?" Qin Chi suddenly asked.

Upon hearing this, Xiang Xun'er was taken aback.

She likes Lu Zenan... What?

Seeing the blank look on Xiang Xun'er's face, Qin Chi asked her, "It's sunny, do you want to sit in the car?"

Xiang Xun'er subconsciously looked towards Lu Zenan and Xiang Ming, who were beating each other.

"Don't worry about them."

"And even if you stop them today, if your brother doesn't vent his anger, he'll still go looking for Lu Zenan when you're not looking."

Upon hearing this, Xiang Xun'er was speechless.

"Want to sit in the car? I'll have someone keep an eye on them here to make sure they don't get seriously injured."

Since Qin Chi had already said so much, Xiang Xun'er naturally couldn't refuse anymore.

Then, the camera shifts.

Xiang Ming and Lu Zenan continued their fight, while Xiang Xun'er followed Qin Chi away, looking back every few steps.

The interior of the extended Lincoln.

Qin Chi looked up at Xun'er, "What would you like to drink?"

"It will be all right."

Seeing that she was distracted, Qin Chi lowered his eyes and didn't ask any more questions. He casually opened the car's small refrigerator next to him, took out a bottle of milk and handed it to her.

Looking at the familiar yogurt in her palm, Xiang Xun'er was stunned, a faint look of surprise flashing across her eyes.

he……

How do you know?

Is it a coincidence?

"Don't you like it?" Qin Chi raised an eyebrow and asked.

Xiang Xun'er gently shook her head, "No..."

She hesitated for a moment, then added, "This brand of yogurt is my favorite."

Upon hearing this, Qin Chi lowered his eyes and gave a faint "Oh," adding, "What a coincidence."

Whether it was her imagination or not, for a fleeting moment, Xiang Xun'er noticed that Qin Chi's lips seemed to curl up almost imperceptibly.

Fleeting...

When Xiang Xun'er looked closely, she found that Qin Chi's expression was calm, and there was no smile on his lips.

It was as if that smile just now was an illusion, fleeting and without any follow-up.

The familiar, delightful taste of her favorite yogurt spread through her mouth, gradually calming Xiang Xun'er down, and the worry in her eyes slowly faded away.

Just then, Xiang Ming pushed open the door and entered, his handsome face covered in bruises and he plopped down next to Qin Chi.

"I finally got my revenge today."

"If I ever see that brat Lu Zenan again, I won't let him off the hook!"

Upon hearing this, Xiang Xun'er looked at Xiang Ming with worry in her eyes and disapproval.

"Brother, this isn't his fault..."

Xiang Ming glared at Xiang Xun'er, annoyed. "Stop protecting him!"

Xiang Xun'er opened her mouth as if to say something more, but Qin Chi suddenly looked at her and gave her a reassuring smile.

"Alright, that's enough of a lesson learned," Qin Chi said calmly.

Xiang Ming's face still showed anger, but unusually, he did not refute Qin Chi's words.

Upon seeing this, a look of surprise flashed across Xiang Xun'er's eyes.

She never expected that her usually strong-willed and opinionated brother would listen to Qin Chi.

Later, Qin Chi and Xiang Ming reminisced, while Xiang Xun'er sat quietly to the side, listening to their conversation.

During their conversation, Qin Chi and Xiang Ming would occasionally glance at her.

But after just one glance, the two tacitly looked away, leaving Xiang Xun'er looking bewildered from time to time.

She seemed not to understand the meaning behind Xiang Ming and Qin Chi's gazes towards her...

"Click!"

"good!"

"This scene was filmed perfectly!"

Director Xu was both surprised and delighted as he watched the footage frame by frame.

He hadn't expected that President Huo's acting skills would be so good.

This isn't acting; this is completely playing himself!

Looking at Qin Chi, who "outshone everyone" upon his appearance on camera, the screenwriter wore a slightly bewildered expression.

"Director Xu, is Lu Zenan still the male lead?"

Upon hearing this, Director Xu was taken aback. After regaining his senses, he coughed twice and said, "President Huo said that he can pay double the salary to the actors playing the male and female leads."

Screenwriter: "...So what?"

Director Xu sighed softly and looked at the screenwriter with a meaningful expression, "Not all the most outstanding characters in film and television dramas are the male and female leads."

The screenwriter nodded, "I know that, but isn't this an idol drama?"

"In an idol drama, if the male and female leads are not outstanding and are overshadowed by the male and female supporting characters, is it still an idol drama?" the screenwriter asked a soul-searching question.

Upon hearing this, Director Xu fell silent for a moment.

It must be said that the screenwriter's words made a lot of sense, leaving him with no room for rebuttal.

but!

Director Xu looked at the screenwriter with a serious expression, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "You need to know that whoever pays the money is the boss."

"If President Huo is willing to pay, and the male and female leads are willing to compromise on double pay, then you and I can also get double the compensation, and we don't need to worry about publicity costs."

"We don't need to worry about the censorship of TV dramas or their prime-time slots. With such a great opportunity, wouldn't you want it?"

Screenwriter: "..." That makes so much sense. In the end, I was just short-sighted.

Seeing that the screenwriter seemed to have figured it out, Director Xu patted him on the shoulder again and pointed to Su Jin, who looked resentful and depressed.

"Look at this person, they've come to terms with reality and accepted everything. Do we, as insignificant people, still need to fret and worry, creating our own troubles?"

Screenwriter: "..." It's really unnecessary.

"By the way, for the scene between Mr. Huo and Ms. Qin later, remember to add more romantic and ambiguous atmosphere, so that the audience's lips will be constantly curved upwards during the viewing, understand?"

"The character of Qin Chi needs to be developed further!"

"Give Qin Chi more opportunities and chances to play the hero and rescue the damsel in distress..."

"And Xiang Ming, add more scenes of him being fed dog food..." Director Xu repeatedly instructed.

The screenwriter nodded to indicate that he understood, but his sympathetic gaze also drifted toward Su Jin standing to the side.

miserable!

That's terrible!
