Chapter 297: So cute, so cute, so brainless...

After giving that greeting, Xiao Xie, who had been looking completely bewildered like a lost soul, finally managed to snap out of it and mumbled a response before following Li Sishi's steps.

Compared to his unsteady gait, Cheng Erjian, who had at least gathered some live news from the anime and manga world, was quite energetic—in fact, one could say he was almost excited.

After all, he used to have time to go but didn't have the "capital" to go. Now that he's become famous and rich, he doesn't have time to go anymore.

The two first met at the Xunhe Center, known as the "Natsuhabara of Hong Kong," and their acquaintance was sparked by a new game console...

The fact that Cheng Erjian, this junior colleague, is recognized by people in the industry as a "mechanical genius" who doesn't do his job properly is a fact, not a fabrication.

In fact, judging from Li Sishi's impression, since Xiao Xie was able to go to Japan to study music and even learn some Japanese, even if he wasn't an anime or game fanatic like Cheng Erjian, he should at least be half a fan of anime and games. It's rare to find someone with such a niche hobby, but the result was that they were only superficially friendly. She wondered if it was because of her, this little butterfly, that caused the same-sex repulsion...

Unfortunately, they just happened to run into each other. These two rivals were both filming movies with her at the same time, leaving her caught in the middle and feeling like she didn't belong to either side.

If it were just about pursuing a relationship, Li Sishi wouldn't feel so uncomfortable. But one of them wasn't fully mature and the other was too young, so when Li Sishi looked at them, she always felt a bit of pity for these silly little animals. After watching their antics, she couldn't help but want to help them sort things out.

Rong Juezhang probably sees her that way too—his "idiot" does silly things every day, but she's undeniably adorable, so no matter how silly she is, he can't let her go...

While thinking this, she waited patiently for the makeup artist to do her makeup. After more than an hour of applying makeup, the "no-makeup" makeup, which was more refined and made her look younger than her original makeup, was finally completed.

To match Xiao Xie's youthful image and to serve as the starting point of a bittersweet love story between teenagers, she needed to be made up to look a little "younger," while Xiao Xie, who still looked somewhat immature, needed to be made up to appear more mature.

Luckily, he was tall enough; being slightly taller than Li Sishi and sporting a frizzy hairstyle, the two of them really looked like a newly-adult college couple.

“In two or three years, you’ll look pretty much like this too.” Standing in front of the mirror, Li Sishi teased him with a smile.

"I won't need two or three years, just two years and one month, and I'll be eighteen." Xiao Xie emphasized with a very serious expression.

I don't know whether to think it's good or bad that he met Li Sishi too early. Although the two of them have similar thoughts and interests, and can still communicate their feelings through letters even though they are separated by oceans, it seems that she still sees him as the little boy from back then because the timing of his appearance in front of Li Sishi was not right.

Three years is enough time for a child to grow into a teenager who is now taller than her. But even though the perspective in reality has changed from looking down to looking up, the perspective in her heart remains the same as before.

He had never liked being treated like a child, but in front of Li Sishi, the only way he could put her at ease and let her guard down was to continue acting like a "child".

Recalling Cheng Erjian's height and physique when he changed into his costume, Xiao Xie glanced at his own arms, which appeared relatively thin due to his growth spurt. While feeling envious and jealous of Cheng Erjian's ability to pursue girls with a masculine appearance, he also harbored a subtle sense of mockery towards the outwardly mature but inwardly immature Cheng Erjian.

To be honest, if Cheng Erjian hadn't used all his nutrients to grow taller and build muscle, given his close relationship with Li Sishi, Cheng Erjian, as the "senior brother," would even be considered superior to Li Sishi, the "cousin."

Rong Juezhang has a better chance.

Firstly, there's no need to worry about any "cantonese-speaking cousin pairing curse," and secondly, he's naturally more approachable to Li Sishi than other men, making the probability of developing feelings over time far greater than for others...

"What are you thinking about? Why are your cheeks all puffed up?" Li Sishi looked at his still round, chubby face and couldn't help but reach out and poke his puffed-up cheek—

When she poked him, he instinctively continued to puff up his lungs like a pufferfish that had been provoked, making Li Sishi unable to help but laugh out loud this time.

"Don't always treat me like a child..." He murmured a line that sounded like a line from a play, yet also like an unspoken truth, emphasizing earnestly with his eyes, "This time I'm not playing your younger brother, but your fiancé..."

"Alright, alright, I won't tease you anymore. I'll go check how the venue setup is going." Li Sishi waved her hand, her tone still like she was coaxing a sulking child, which almost made Xiao Xie jump up in frustration.

Before he was even as tall as Li Sishi, Li Sishi spoke to him with the same seriousness and earnestness as if she were speaking to an adult—and this was also how he perceived Li Sishi, who understood his words and meaning.

There is a special basis for liking an older sister who truly listens and takes everything to heart.

This was the first time he had ever felt someone take him seriously, sitting beside him attentively and listening to him express his inner thoughts.

He was surrounded by flashing lights from birth, and almost the entire city of Hong Kong watched him grow from a baby into a child. It was as if he were the beloved son of everyone in Hong Kong. From relatives and friends to passersby, everyone's eyes were always filled with the loving and tender affection they had for their own silly child...

Especially this morning when he was on the subway, he thought he had "faded out" in Hong Kong, but before he had even gone two stops, a middle-aged woman recognized him, and suddenly he had an extra line of elderly people in the subway car...

What's most despicable are those who are his age or even younger—because apart from two brief charity performances recorded earlier, most of the other footage shows him before he was eleven years old, so those people all feel that they also "watched him grow up."

Then, following the other elderly people, they all cast loving glances at him, exclaiming, "Oh my, this child has grown so tall!"

Seeing such a loving demeanor, he couldn't get angry. He could only hold his breath and hurriedly escape from this large-scale family reunion, and then hold his breath again to play the role of the car driver in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes 3".

He was lucky, because today's daytime scene in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes 3" was about the male lead He Nan being driven to the brink of despair by his rivals, and his good brother was also by his side and couldn't "add anything more." So it was Li Sishi's turn to lead the remaining members of the gang to rescue him. In this scene, which can be called the highlight of the female lead Sishi's performance, he not only played the role of supporting his sister and "brother-in-law," but also revealed a vague and indistinct envy and jealousy.

With that burst of energy, he captured that indescribable, complex emotion, and the entire scene was performed flawlessly in one go. Even the director, who was usually very critical of him, praised him several times, saying that he had improved...

Unfortunately, while her career has progressed, her love life seems to be regressing...

As he was reflecting on whether he had been too "petty" lately, to the point that Li Sishi was treating him like a child, Li Sishi, who had already walked to the other side, suddenly stopped and slowly turned around to call out to him.

"Is there anything else?" Lost in her own thoughts, Xiao Xie subconsciously looked up.

"Don't overthink it, I just think you're cute." Li Sishi winked playfully at him. "Although it's rare to use 'cute' to describe a boy, in this world, no one can definitively say..."

The character of the 'fiancé' can't be cute, right?

The love of youth is both adorable and foolish.

Whether in the play or in real life, although it is only a "fleeting emotion", it has a precious meaning that is hard to match in the short time it exists.

Having vaguely understood why Li Sishi had turned back to encourage him after comforting him, Xiao Xie smiled and nodded heavily: "Yes, you're absolutely right!"

A cute person is, in fact, quite "cute" in other ways too!

Age is never a constraint that limits a person's potential, but rather a memory that must be experienced on the path of life.

And the feelings experienced in youthful ignorance are often the most genuine and unforgettable; otherwise, his character wouldn't have been the first to appear in this comedy film with its messy and hilarious romantic storyline.

In "The Legend of the Condor Heroes 3," no matter how well he acted, his performance was overshadowed by Cheng Erjian, the adult lead actor. However, in tonight's "The Seven Marriages of a Beautiful Woman," the roles are reversed, and the importance of the characters is roughly the same—so he naturally no longer needs to subtly "give way" to the role.

And then they got impatient and started jumping up and down...

Nowadays, everyone is a "male guest," so who cares about who's the main character or who's the last?

Just like Li Sishi broke through the newcomer wall and won one of the Chinese Gold Song Awards with her newcomer and new song, newcomers with the ability to do well can also become extremely dazzling highlights!

And most importantly, his sister Ah May cares about him so much that she came up with an unconventional way to help him get into character—yes, get into character.

This time, he plays the first role, so he can't bring the forced envy and jealousy he showed in his previous role as "Car Boy" here. Instead, he has to openly and generously display the attitude of the "first" leading lady, becoming the irreplaceable white moonlight in the hearts of the female lead and the audience...

As for the rest?

Ha, they're all just "my inferior substitutes"!

While the young boy on one side was having a wildly imaginative and imaginative interpretation of his character, Li Sishi, who had gone to check out the location, was practically gesturing wildly to Cheng Erjian: "When Ah Nic puffs up his cheeks, they feel so good to the touch. When you're doing a fight scene with him later, you can try to secretly pinch them..."

Who doesn't love an adorable, clueless, and soft-hearted boy!

If we don't seize the opportunity to pinch his cheeks before he transforms into a domineering wolfhound, we won't have the chance to do it again!

Cheng Erjian probably squeezed in plenty of time to read comics even amidst his busy schedule. Hearing Li Sishi's description, he was immediately intrigued—adults probably just love to "bully these kids who are clearly still immature but always trying to act cool, seeing their frustrated yet unable to express their anger, as if their own teenage angst had been passed down from generation to generation in this way..."
