I became a movie star at the age of three; Dilraba and I are childhood sweethearts.

The dressing room was small and filled with costumes, the air thick with the smell of fabric and mothballs.

Liu Yifei turned around and closed the door with a click.

The light immediately dimmed in the cramped space.

The atmosphere then became somewhat subtle.

Xiao Chen looked at her quietly, waiting for her to speak.

He didn't believe that Liu Yifei had specifically called him here just to rehearse their lines.

As expected, Liu Yifei remained silent for a moment, then raised her eyes and looked directly at him.

"Do you have a habit of flirting with all girls?"

Xiao Chen: ?

Upon hearing this, Xiao Chen was first taken aback, then found himself both amused and exasperated.

Discharge?

He was just being polite by signing his name for his enthusiastic colleague.

He deliberately kept his distance.

"Fairy Sister".

"Although we've known each other for a long time, this is our first day working together."

The implication is that you're meddling too much.

Liu Yifei's cheeks flushed slightly, perhaps from anger, or perhaps from embarrassment.

She knew, of course, that what she was doing was abrupt, even somewhat unreasonable.

But she just couldn't control herself.

"I'm just reminding you that I hope you can focus your attention on filming."

"Don't forget, this is the first collaboration you promised me."

She forced herself to speak, her tone still cold, but her confidence was clearly lacking.

Xiao Chen's expression didn't change much, but his tone became serious.

"I'd like to say the same to you."

"I look forward to working with you and hope we can create a great project together."

After saying that, he stopped talking, turned around and pulled the doorknob, preparing to leave this inexplicable interrogation room.

However, when he turned the doorknob, the door did not budge.

He tried it again.

Or not.

Liu Yifei also sensed that something was wrong.

"What's wrong?"

Xiao Chen frowned.

"The door lock seems to be broken; it can't be opened from the inside."

The quality of locks on these old-fashioned wooden doors is inherently questionable.

It's probably because Liu Yifei casually tugged at it just now, causing the latch inside to get stuck.

Liu Yifei's expression changed.

"What?"

Can't open it?

A lone man and a lone woman.

Trapped in such a small, enclosed space?

Her heart started racing for no reason.

The blush that had just faded from her face returned, and was even more pronounced than before.

There were no windows in the fitting room, only a sliver of light shining through the crack in the door, outlining Xiao Chen's tall and upright figure.

His breathing became exceptionally clear.

It was that pleasant, refreshing scent that often emanates from young men.

Countless classic scenes from romance novels flashed through Liu Yifei's mind.

he……

Will he...?

Thinking about those images made her palms sweat with nervousness.

I instinctively took half a step back, my back hitting the cold wall.

Just as she was lost in thought, imagining some ambiguous plot twists that might unfold, Xiao Chen in front of her moved.

Xiao Chen didn't approach her, nor did he say anything to comfort her.

He simply took two steps back to create a safe distance, and then raised his right leg.

"you……"

Liu Yifei was about to ask him what he was going to do.

Then, his long legs, encased in casual pants, slammed into the door with a sharp gust of wind!

boom--!

A loud bang!

The entire fitting room shook.

The wooden door, which looked fairly sturdy, was destroyed by Xiao Chen's merciless kick.

A large crack appeared at the door lock, causing it to shake violently.

Liu Yifei was so startled by the sudden loud noise that her heart skipped a beat, and she was completely stunned.

She stared blankly at Xiao Chen, then at the rickety door.

What kind of operation is this?

That's not how it was written in the script!

Before she could recover from her shock, Xiao Chen had already pulled his leg back, stepped forward, and gently pushed her away.

squeak-

With a piercing sound, the poor door was pushed open completely.

Bright light from outside flooded in instantly, causing Liu Yifei to squint instinctively.

Xiao Chen turned to the side and glanced back at her.

"You can go out now."

Liu Yifei: ...

Liu Yifei opened her mouth, but couldn't utter a single word.

She watched Xiao Chen walk out first.

For a moment, I didn't know whether to criticize him for being a gentleman or to secretly think he was a blockhead who didn't understand romance.

The initial rush of my heart just now has turned into an indescribable sense of astonishment.

This man...

Is the brain circuitry different from that of a normal person?

Soon, filming officially began.

After a simple opening ceremony, filming immediately got on track.

Most of the people in the crew were working with Xiao Chen for the first time.

Although I had heard of his great reputation before, rumors and seeing him in person are two different things.

An idol who is only 17 years old and already worth hundreds of millions and holds international awards.

She was also this year's top scorer in the national college entrance examination...

Such a person must be incredibly proud and noble.

Many staff members privately speculated that this top scholar might be difficult to serve.

Acting like a big shot is inevitable.

However, after a day of filming, everyone's ideas were overturned.

Xiao Chen is not only down-to-earth, but also humble like a top star.

He would proactively discuss the script with the director and humbly accept the suggestions of the martial arts instructor.

She would smile and say something when a stagehand handed her a bottle of water.

"Thanks."

Even when he's resting, he won't hide in the nanny van.

Instead, like everyone else, he found a small stool, sat under the shade of a tree, and quietly read the script.

His composure and professionalism, far beyond his years, impressed everyone on the set.

"Wow, I thought the top scholar would be quite arrogant, but I didn't expect him to be such a nice person."

"Yeah, and his acting is absolutely phenomenal! That scene just now, we nailed it in one take! Even the director praised him, saying his eyes were full of emotion!"

"And he's so handsome... God is so unfair!"

The staff's chatter drifted intermittently into Liu Yifei's ears.

She sat not far away, silently watching the figure surrounded by people, her feelings complicated.

After the incident of kicking down the fitting room door, her opinion of Xiao Chen had transformed into an indescribable curiosity.

He's like a mystery, impossible to understand or guess accurately.

The assistant director's loud voice rang out.

"All departments, prepare!"

"Next scene, we'll film the wedding scene between Xiaoyao and Ling'er!"

coming!

Liu Yifei took a deep breath, composed herself, and with the help of her assistant, changed into Zhao Ling'er's wedding dress.

Meanwhile, on the other side, the moment Xiao Chen walked out of the changing room...

The entire film set fell silent instantly.

All eyes were immediately fixed on him.

He was dressed in a bright red wedding robe, with dragon and phoenix patterns embroidered in gold thread that shimmered in the sunlight.

Her long, ink-black hair was tied back with a white jade hairpin, with a few strands falling to the side of her face, adding to her dashing and unrestrained air.
