Luo Yu and Yu Hongxin looked at each other, both seeing obvious shock and confusion in each other's eyes.
Wait, something's wrong?
Looking at Luo Yu's gaze, Yu Hongxin was somewhat speechless: "...Don't look at me like that. I didn't cause Jian Ruoxi to be angry. Besides, why would I provoke her for no reason?"
"It wasn't me either," Luo Yu quickly added, proving his innocence. "I had no reason to provoke her."
There's no need to spell it out, brother. Anyone with eyes can see it, okay?
Yu Hongxin silently complained.
However, just because it wasn't them doesn't mean it wasn't someone else present. After all, there really was someone here who could make Jian Ruoxi so angry.
Luo Yu and Yu Hongxin exchanged another glance, and then looked at Han Mingyi standing to the side.
Han Mingyi: "..."
What are you looking at! Can't you two at least try to hide it a little? If someone takes a picture of that and posts it online, it'll definitely be trending on social media!
Han Mingyi couldn't help but roll her eyes and glared back defiantly.
What are you looking at? Do you think you're the only ones with eyes? I'm not saying you two have any problems with your eyes, but I've been so much more discreet lately, can't you even notice? Why is it that whenever something happens to Jian Ruoxi, you all suspect me first?
Han Mingyi was absolutely furious with these two. Ever since Li Anran's failure last time, she had been behaving herself. Now that no one was there to back her up and protect her, she didn't have the confidence or the guts to cause trouble for Jian Ruoxi.
After all, there were quite a few people protecting Jian Ruoxi, and she was outnumbered and outmatched.
So she was truly innocent in this matter. She hadn't gone against Jian Ruoxi at all, and had been avoiding her like a quail whenever possible. How could she have known that Jian Ruoxi was suddenly going crazy today?
"Hiss—my prop! Is it alright?"
The director didn't care about the complicated grudges and entanglements between these guests; all he could see now were the props that had been ravaged and were unrecognizable.
"Please don't let it break! I borrowed this from the amusement park, and I have to return it after I'm done using it. If it breaks, I'll have to pay for it!"
The director felt a pang of regret. This was truly the first time he'd encountered such a situation; were all the guests these days this intense?
Let's just leave it at that and let this matter rest. There must never be a second time like this!
However, to everyone's surprise, there was more to this story.
That evening, a video titled "I never expected you to be like this, Jian Ruoxi" was posted online. The video showed Jian Ruoxi angrily smashing the props during the day.
The video is only a dozen seconds long, and it's accompanied by lively and funny sound effects and subtitles. Although the image quality is a bit blurry, clearly it was filmed secretly, you can still tell that the person swinging the hammer wildly in the video is Jian Ruoxi.
The video content was so direct and brutally overturned the public's long-held impression of Jian Ruoxi as a pure and innocent girl. Netizens shared it widely, and surprisingly, the video climbed into the top ten of the trending topics list. Other trending topics included "I never expected Jian Ruoxi to be like this," "Jian Ruoxi angrily punches," and "Jian Ruoxi, the tough girl."
When Yu Hongxin saw the trending topics, he almost spat out his water: "Cough, cough cough cough!"
He coughed from the choking fumes, which drew Jian Ruoxi's attention.
"What's wrong? What did you see that made you react so strongly?" Jian Ruoxi couldn't bear to look at her.
Should we be glad that filming has wrapped up and no one is filming anymore? Otherwise, if this segment of Yu Hongxin's were broadcast, who knows what kind of damage it would do to his image among his fans.
"Uh, that..."
Yu Hongxin wiped away the remaining water stains, and upon hearing her question, he glanced at her hesitantly.
"About me?"
Jian Ruoxi looked surprised.
"Uh, you're trending on social media."
As Yu Hongxin spoke, he held his phone up to her face and helped her open the video.
God help me, Jian Ruoxi has only just calmed down, I hope she doesn't get upset again.
Jian Ruoxi fell silent after watching the video.
She even took Yu Hongxin's phone, played it again, and then calmly opened the comments section.
Sure enough, the area was already filled with "hahaha" and "holy crap" comments.
Netizen A: "Holy crap! Jian Ruoxi is actually this fierce??? I always thought she was the innocent, pure type."
Netizen B: "Just asking because I don't understand, are all the innocent, pure young actresses like this nowadays? [doge]"
Netizen C: "Hahaha, a pure and innocent little flower with explosive fighting power, is that it?"
Netizen D: "I suggest all action directors take a look. Shouldn't we hurry up and arrange a fight scene?"
Netizen E: "The sensible director and crew are already preparing to hand over the script [doge]"
Netizen F: "You're telling me this is an innocent, pure girl??? This is clearly a tough, muscular woman!"
...
Jian Ruoxi calmly closed the comment section, returned the phone to Yu Hongxin, and seemed unaffected by anything.
"Uh, Jian Ruoxi? Are you alright?"
Yu Hongxin asked somewhat uncertainly.
He felt like something was off.
"I'm fine, why would you ask that?"
Jian Ruoxi smiled and replied, even expressing her doubt about his question, "It's getting late, I'll head back now. See you next time we film."
"goodbye……"
Yu Hongxin waved to Jian Ruoxi with a bewildered look on his face and watched her leave.
Sure enough, he still felt that Jian Ruoxi's reaction was very strange.
After Jian Ruoxi got back, she buried herself in the blankets on the bed.
Ugh! What on earth is going on?!
Why was that video leaked?
Jian Ruoxi broke down, punching and kicking the blanket in a fit of rage, feeling so ashamed that she wanted to die.
That's it, her image in the public eye has been completely overturned.
Why would she film any action scenes? Let's not even talk about the fact that she's pregnant—although netizens don't know that she's so delicate, she's definitely not cut out for action scenes!
And that "muscle Barbie" thing, help, she really doesn't want to be associated with that kind of term, okay?
Is it too late for her to deny that the person in that video is her?
She really didn't want to admit that the person was her.
She was completely devastated and just wanted someone to save her.
Too late, right? Definitely too late. It's been posted for so long, it's already trending. And netizens aren't blind; if she denies it, she'll probably be ridiculed...
Jian Ruoxi felt increasingly ashamed, so she covered herself completely with the blanket and even turned off her phone and threw it far away.
Let her escape reality here tonight.
