Xie Shizhu was pulled up, and the calmness he had just shown vanished into thin air. With red eyes and trembling shoulders, he threw himself into his agent's arms and said, "Sister Zhang, I was so scared just now."
Sister Zhang gently stroked her back, glanced at Jiang Jing beside her in a reproachful manner, and then comforted Xie Shizhu, saying, "You don't have to jump if you take one more shot. You are afraid of heights to begin with, so being able to do this is already very impressive."
The director was a little surprised, "Are you afraid of heights?"
Sister Zhang answered for Xie Shizhu: "Yes, she has always been like this, and she always lives on the lower floors."
Jiang Jing pursed his lips, looked at Xie Shizhu, and said with a strange tone: "Sorry."
Xie Shizhu left Sister Zhang's embrace and wiped her tears with the back of her hand. "It's okay."
The other people in the room looked at each other, and Zheng Ruoyan hurried over to hand Xie Shizhu the paper.
Xie Shizhu took it and said "thank you", then folded the paper a few times, wiped the corners of his eyes, and asked his agent, "Did my makeup smudge?"
“A little.”
The director asked someone to touch up her makeup, and five minutes later, the second scene began.
This time, when Xie Shizhu jumped down, Jiang Jing calmed himself down and reached out to grab her.
Xie Shizhu looked at him with despair in his eyes and said in a sad voice: "Let go, why did you save me? We don't even know each other."
Jiang Jing was originally worried that Xie Shizhu's acting skills would make him unable to get into the role, but now it seems that he was completely overthinking it.
"Come up," Jiang Jing held her wrist tightly, his eyes firm, "Is it worth it to end your life for something?"
Xie Shizhu stared at him blankly and didn't speak for a long time.
Jiang Jing took advantage of her daze and used a little force to pull her up.
"Card!"
As soon as Xie Shizhu's feet touched the ground, she returned to her usual delicate appearance. She sniffed and took several breaths, and did not come back to her senses for a long time.
The director reviewed the video and raised an eyebrow in surprise: "Passed, next scene."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Jiang Jing glanced sideways at Xie Shizhu. The woman's eyes were red and wet, with tears in the corners. She was frantically applying makeup in front of a mirror. As she shed tears, she sighed, "This mascara is pretty good. Even after crying like this, my makeup didn't smudge."
The agent was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
"Teacher Jiang, it's time to shoot the next scene." The assistant reminded him in a low voice, and Jiang Jing quickly withdrew his gaze.
He thought to himself that he must be crazy for finding Xie Shizhu's delicate appearance pleasing to the eye.
"Um."
The system froze for a moment, then recovered to find its malicious value had dropped. It was so excited it exclaimed, "Fuck!" several times: [90, host!]
Xie Shizhu returned the powder puff to the makeup artist and chuckled in his heart: "What a fuss."

As the second leading actress, Xie Shizhu naturally has fewer scenes than Jiang Jing, after all, Jiang Jing also has to deal with other supporting actresses.
She did not stay on the set and went straight back to the hotel after finishing today's filming.
The agent prepared a glass of milk for her and placed it on the table. Before leaving the room, he said meaningfully, "It's possible today. I noticed that Jiang Jing looked at you several times. Maybe after the filming is over, you can really develop some relationship with your dream lover."
Xie Shizhu was washing his face in the bathroom and said, "Really? I don't care."
"Hey, I'm keeping an eye on it." The agent patted her shoulder, "Go to bed early tonight. Tomorrow you'll be acting opposite Tong Xi and Zheng Ruoyan. Don't let them overshadow you."
Xie Shizhu wiped his face clean and applied some skin care products. "Okay."
After the agent left, Xie Shizhu sat at the table, took out his cell phone, used a vase as a stand, and placed the back of the cell phone against it.
She found Song Xiuyun's WeChat ID and made a video call to him.

Song Xiuyun had just finished a meeting and got in the car heading back to the villa.
The special assistant was driving when he noticed that Song Xiuyun's phone kept ringing, so he whispered, "Mr. Song, it seems to be Miss Xie calling via video."
Song Xiuyun placed the notebook flat on his knees, glanced at the note, and frowned slightly.
The three words "little fairy" made Song Xiujun's eyes flash with annoyance.
When did Xie Shizhu take her phone and change her WeChat name to this?
The special assistant chuckled. It happened to be the peak time for downloading books, and the traffic was congested, so the car was forced to stop.
Song Xiujun fixed his eyes on the computer and said calmly, "You answer it."
The smile on the special assistant's lips suddenly froze, "Huh?"
Song Xiuyun remained silent. The special assistant smiled awkwardly and answered the video call with gritted teeth.
Xie Shizhu had a plain little face. She held the cup in her right hand and took a sip of milk. The script was placed in front of her. She took a sip and was slightly surprised to find that the person who answered the phone was her special assistant.
Xie Shizhu's face was sullen, and he asked angrily, "Where are the others?"
The special assistant looked at the enlarged image of Xie Shizhu on the phone screen and his face suddenly turned red.
Song Xiujun raised his eyes and glanced at the phone in the special assistant's hand, and his eyes suddenly sank.
Xie Shizhu was holding a glass of milk in her hand. Her black and white eyes were clear and bright, with a hint of complaint. There was some milk foam around her pink lips. She subconsciously stuck out her tongue and licked the corner of her lips. The casual and lazy movement added a bit of ambiguity.
