So don't let the overwhelming rumors online bother you; living a good life is the most important thing.
"Thank you, Lin Xiao, thank you," came the gentle voice from the other end of the phone.
Wei Changfeng then told her about the casting auditions he would be attending for a famous director's film in the next few days.
He told Lin Xiao that although he had been in the industry for several years, he was still a little nervous about the meeting.
Lin Xiao asked him what kind of interview it would be, like those variety shows that test acting skills, where you have to perform a short piece for the director on the spot.
Wei Changfeng admitted that he didn't know either, as he had never worked with Hong Kong or Taiwan directors and was unaware of their methods.
Generally speaking, large-scale casting starts with each assistant director recording a "screening" session. Only those deemed suitable after this round of screening will be allowed to meet the director directly.
This year, on the Lantern Festival, I met directly with Director Xu and his assistant, and the time and place were chosen by them.
"What kind of movie is it?" Lin Xiao asked, a little curious.
"I feel like spy movies might be like 'The Message'? Hui Ge said the director wanted to find a lean, intellectual type, so I must not gain weight during the Spring Festival."
I haven't been able to exercise these past few days because of my leg injury, and during the holiday I've been eating lots of rich, fatty foods every day, but I haven't dared to eat more than a bite. It's been a real mental torture for me!
Lin Xiao recalled their chance encounter on an Air France flight; during the more than ten-hour flight, he really only ate a little salad.
She once remarked that "when boys get meticulous and particular, girls don't stand a chance," and she couldn't help but laugh when she thought of that time.
Wei Changfeng asked her what she was laughing at, and Lin Xiao told him the truth.
Wei Changfeng also confessed his shock when he saw her devour all the airplane food like a whirlwind, and then ask for extra bread as if she wasn't full yet.
The two chatted easily and happily, as if the days of no contact in between had never happened, and they were like old friends who had known each other for many years.
Wei Changfeng reluctantly hung up the phone when Xiao Hao knocked on the door. Before ending the call, he asked Lin Xiao, "When do you start school?"
"Ten days left."
"When we're free, can we chat like this again? I won't bother you when you're busy. I'm really bored recuperating at home." His tone carried a hint of expectation and pleading.
“Okay, if I don’t reply immediately, it’s probably because something’s wrong. Leave me a message and I’ll reply as soon as I receive it,” Lin Xiao promised him.
After reconnecting with Lin Xiao, Wei Changfeng felt much more relaxed and happy.
He couldn't explain why he often thought about this girl who lived in Paris. If he explained it by saying that he was grateful for the help she had given them, he knew he was just fooling himself.
There are plenty of beautiful girls in the entertainment industry, each with their own unique charm, but Lin Xiao is like a lily of the valley that the French love most, always flashing through his mind from time to time.
The two kept in touch over the next few days, exchanging messages even when they didn't talk on the phone.
As promised, Lin Xiao would respond to Wei Changfeng as promptly as possible and would also encourage him from time to time.
Wei Changfeng was able to focus more intently and confidently on preparing for Director Xu's interview. Over the course of several days, he watched many spy films and related materials, gaining a deeper understanding of the history of that period.
