Although Xiao He's reaction was rather lukewarm and he didn't reveal much information, this did not dampen Yuan Sitong's enthusiasm at all.
She got more and more excited as she talked, as if she were really there. Her eyes no longer showed the sleepiness she had just woken up, but only the excitement and joy of about to get a piece of juicy gossip.
Xiao He didn't know what to say about Yuan Sitong.
He said that the king of lateness would never obediently get up early or even arrive at the scene ahead of time.
Now that I see it, it's clear they had ulterior motives.
Xiao He simply couldn't understand how this young lady could have such perseverance just to gossip.
Why aren't you saying anything?
Yuan Sitong kept asking, and when Xiao He didn't answer her, she muttered to herself, "I originally thought you were a tough character, but I didn't expect you to be a victim—tsk tsk, I was quite afraid of you before... cough cough."
Xiao He glanced at her sideways, subtly releasing a chill: "Hmm? What did you say?"
He knew that Yuan Sitong had always been somewhat intimidated by him, which was one of the main reasons why she only dared to cause trouble for others but not for him when they were on the set of "Yu Ye".
Now, Xiao He also hopes that Yuan Sitong can continue to behave herself, and not act like a spoiled princess towards him during the later filming, nor cause him any trouble.
When the young man exuded coldness, a hint of murderous intent would also be revealed in his eyes, and his icy gaze successfully silenced Yuan Sitong.
The initial sympathy and gossip that had arisen were also frightened away by Xiao He's gaze. Yuan Sitong shrank back and dared not say anything more to Xiao He.
Suddenly, the atmosphere became somewhat tense.
Fortunately, at that moment, another voice broke in—
"Sitong, it's been a long time!"
Xiao He looked up at the sound and saw a young man walking in from outside.
The other person was very handsome, with clean-cut eyebrows and eyes, a straight nose, and starlight in his peach blossom eyes. His expression when looking at Yuan Sitong was focused and affectionate, as if lovers who had not seen each other for many years had finally met at this moment.
Yuan Sitong looked up at the person who had arrived, and the smile on her face faded considerably: "It's you."
"You still remember me? That's so nice."
The young man laughed heartily, and Yuan Sitong's indifference did not embarrass him. Instead, he pulled out the other chair for Yuan Sitong and sat down next to her.
"Hello Brother Xiao, my name is Zhao Qinyuan, and I am an artist from Taidong Entertainment."
Zhao Qinyuan then greeted Xiao He warmly.
Xiao He glanced at Yuan Sitong and Zhao Qinyuan, vaguely sensing the strange aura between the two. With no intention of getting involved, he simply nodded and smiled politely at Zhao Qinyuan.
Before coming to the film crew, Xiao He had already learned about most of the crew members, including Zhao Qinyuan.
Zhao Qinyuan also started his career in idol dramas. He became a sensation with his role as a campus heartthrob in an idol drama. Later, he participated in a work that made Yuan Sitong a hit, playing a devoted male supporting character who couldn't win the heart of the female lead played by Yuan Sitong, and ultimately died saving her.
This work became a huge hit at the time, which helped Yuan Sitong establish herself as a top idol drama actress and successfully create popular on-screen couples with various male characters in the work.
Zhao Qinyuan also took this opportunity to promote himself and Yuan Sitong together, hyping up their on-screen couple and even extending it to their real-life relationship, encouraging fans to create a real-life couple image.
This is also why Yuan Sitong's expression wasn't very enthusiastic when she saw Zhao Qinyuan.
There are essentially two scenarios when it comes to creating a "couple pairing": one is that one party doesn't want to create it, while the other party insists on doing so; the other is that both parties reach an agreement to create a "couple pairing" together.
Clearly, Yuan Sitong and Zhao Qinyuan are currently in a situation where one party is avoiding the topic while the other is trying to piggyback on it.
After all, Yuan Sitong's popularity is significantly higher than Zhao Qinyuan's. If she were to create a CP (couple pairing) with Zhao Qinyuan, it would obviously benefit Zhao Qinyuan more than Yuan Sitong.
