Yan Chenyu was slightly surprised when the two hands held each other's hands.

Yan Xi's hands are not as generous as a man's hands, but more like a woman's hands, soft and tender.

Yan Xi noticed the flash of surprise in his eyes and withdrew his hand with a smile.

"I'm very grateful to Director Yan for giving me this opportunity. This e-sports script is very attractive to me. I hope we can complete this work together."

"I've seen your play, and your acting skills are very good."

Ever since Yan Xi became a hit with one of his dramas, people have been recommending him to him.

Originally, he thought he was just a traffic star packaged by the media, and his acting skills were touted by the media.

It wasn't until this drama couldn't find a suitable actor that he watched Yan Xi's clip.

In just a few minutes, he immediately decided that he would be the leading actor.

It was also from that time that he changed his view of Yan Xi.

Yan Chenyu and Yan Xi exchanged a few polite words, but no one noticed that Qiao Zhiqin was standing at the door with a pale face and her little hands were trembling slightly.

"By the way, Director Yan, I would like to recommend a good actor to you. He is a newcomer to our company and his acting skills are also very good."

Yan Xi said, turning to look at Qiao Zhiqin, "Zhiqin, why don't you come over quickly and say hello to Director Yan."

Only then did Yan Chenyu see the woman standing at the door.

She has an oval face as big as a palm, a pair of black and clear eyes under the curved eyebrows, and her small cherry mouth is pressed into a tight line, betraying her nervousness.

Qiao Zhiqin didn't dare to look at the man opposite him. He lowered his eyes to block the expression in his eyes, clenched his fists, walked forward slowly, and bowed deeply.

"Hello, Director Yan, my name is Qiao Zhiqin."

A flash of dark light flashed across Yan Chenyu's dark eyes,

He looked at Yan Xi with a smile on his lips, "Can I think that Big Star Yan is using the back door for this newcomer?"

"As a newcomer in the same company, I should help you as a senior, but Zhiqin's acting skills are really good, otherwise I wouldn't recommend her to you, Director Yan!"

"Really? Then I'm looking forward to Miss Qiao's performance."

Yan Chenyu's eyes slid over her body, and even though it was only for a few seconds, Qiao Zhiqin's body still trembled slightly.

After coming out of the director's office, Yan Xi and his group went to a separate dressing room to put on makeup.

Qiao Zhiqin kept following them, clasping her hands and lowering her head without saying a word.

Only then did Della realize something was strange about her.

Although she is usually a bit cold-tempered and seems difficult to approach, she has never looked so embarrassed.

"Zhiqin, are you okay? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"

Qiao Zhiqin shook her head and whispered, "I'm fine."

Della worriedly checked the temperature of her forehead, and felt relieved when there was nothing unusual.

It wasn't until she reached the door of the dressing room that Qiao Zhiqin suddenly grabbed Della's hand, her eyes filled with uneasiness.

"Sister Della, I have a request. I want... I want to quit this drama. I know I am not qualified to say such things, but I really can't film this drama."

Hearing this, Yan Xi stopped and turned around, "There are many people here, let's go into the dressing room."

Della held her shoulders and patted her a few times, as if to comfort her, "Let's go in first."

The group of people entered the dressing room. Yan Xi found a chair and sat down with a lazy posture. He looked at Qiao Zhiqin with evil eyes, implying coldness.

"Why can't we take pictures?"

In an instant, Qiao Zhiqin saw the shadow of someone familiar to her on Yan Xi's body again.

He looked at Della as if he was at a loss.

Della also felt that he looked a bit like someone at this time, so she coughed and hurriedly smoothed things over.

"Yan Xi is also worried about the company. You are a newcomer now, how can you say you won't take pictures if you don't want to? This will cause great losses to the company."

With that said, Della winked at Yan Xi, signaling him to calm down.

Yan Xi pinched his eyebrows to hide the coldness in his eyes.

Qiao Zhiqin, who kept his head down, did not notice anything unusual about the two of them.

"I know I shouldn't do this, but Sister Della, I also have my own difficulties. I can do any film except this one. I can even give all my salary to the company to make up for the losses, but this is the only one.

, I can’t.”

She thought that as long as she left Kyoto and hid in Yuncheng, she would never meet him again.

But who would have thought that she would meet him in Yuncheng not long after her debut.

Della saw that she seemed to have something to hide, so she put her hands on her shoulders and pushed her down on the chair.

"This matter is not a trivial matter. I need to ask Mr. Ning for instructions. Please stay here and stop running around."

After Della left, Yan Xi, who was putting on makeup, asked casually, "Do you know the beauty director?"

It seems that Qiao Zhiqin became abnormal after meeting the director.

That's why he suspected that she and Yan Chenyu knew each other.

Qiao Zhiqin panicked and clutched her pants tightly.

"I'm just an unknown little actor. How could I possibly know a big shot like Director Yan?"

Yan Xi caught the panicked movements in the mirror, pursed his lips, picked up his phone and sent a text message.

Ten minutes later, Della walked in with a serious look on her face, walked to Qiao Zhiqin and sighed.

"Mr. Ning has already agreed. I have just communicated with the director team, but Director Yan does not agree to the substitution. He said that if we insist on terminating the contract, we will have to pay a termination fee of 10 million."

Qiao Zhiqin didn't say a word, but tightened her grip on her pants little by little.

After a long time, she seemed to have made a major decision and raised her head with firm eyes.

"Sister Della, I will act in this play."

Since she couldn't escape, she could only choose to be a stranger with him.

…

There was no scene for Qiao Zhiqin on the first day, but Della still asked her to study with Yan Xi.

Because Yan Xi's assistant is on leave, she occasionally does the job of serving tea and water.

It's just that on this day, there was always a gaze that seemed to slide over her body.

Yan Xi, who was resting on the side, caught the eyes coming from the other side for an unknown number of times. He turned his eyes and raised an evil arc at the corners of his lips.

"Zhiqin, come here and help me with the scene."

Qiao Zhiqin sat down next to him expressionlessly, "Which one?"

"Scene 23, the scene where the hero and heroine meet by chance for the second time."

Yan Xi talked casually, but out of the corner of his eye he noticed Yan Chenyu's dark expression.

The smile on the corner of his mouth deepened even as Qiao Zhiqin was studying the script carefully.

He raised his hand and touched her cheek lightly.

Sure enough, a certain man's face turned darker.

Qiao Zhiqin was even more frightened, dodging his hand and staring at him with startled eyes.

Yan Xi explained, "Don't get me wrong, there is dirt on your face, I wiped it off for you."

"Thanks."

In an instant, Qiao Zhiqin returned to her previous cold appearance.

She didn't seem to like being too close to men, so she moved her chair farther away.

"Do you dislike me?"

"no."

"Then you are so far away from me. Do you think there is any virus in my body?"

I'm a little stuck. The next chapter will be a little later. I can only update 4,000 words today. Don't hit me (trembling), I want to reorganize the outline.

Also, isn't there any little cutie who questions Yan Xi's identity?
