Being jealous

Qiao Zhiqin shook her head, "I don't take it to heart."

A person's eyes cannot deceive.

The look Yan Xi looked at her was obviously only one of endearment, not mixed with any feelings between men and women.

Naturally, she would not be so stupid as to be sentimental.

Maybe...he just regarded her as his sister.

Seeing that she really didn't mind, Yan Xi joked, "Since you don't mind it, why don't you call me Brother Yan?"

Qiao Zhiqin didn't hesitate, "Brother Yan."

The curve of Yan Xi's lips spread outwards, and he looked at Qiao Zhiqin with even more affection.

This girl hides a soft heart under her cold appearance. She seems to be protecting herself with a hard shell, but in fact it is easy to open her heart.

…

Qiao Zhiqin left the dressing room first after finishing her makeup.

As soon as he walked out of the door, he was hit by someone running towards him and fell to the ground.

Seeing this, Della hurriedly helped her up and asked with concern, "Is something okay?"

Qiao Zhiqin shook her head, stood up slowly, held her hands gently, and hid the numerous small wounds on her palms.

The girl who collided with Qiao Zhiqin stood up, walked to her angrily, pointed at Qiao Zhiqin and cursed.

"Hey! How are you walking! Can't you see anyone?"

Della frowned slightly and her face darkened. Just as she was about to speak, she saw Qiao Zhiqin walking past the girl with an expressionless face.

Xiaoyi looked at Qiao Zhiqin's leaving figure and let out a cold cry, "Tsk! What a noble thing, isn't he just an eighteenth-tier young artist?"

Hearing this, Della frowned even deeper.

As far as she knew, although Qiao Zhiqin had a cooler temper, she treated the crew with humility and kindness, and she didn't seem to have had any grudges with anyone. So where did this girl's deep dislike for Qiao Zhiqin come from?

Xiaoyi glared angrily at Qiao Zhiqin's leaving figure, turned around, and met Della's probing eyes.

She immediately put on a flattering smile and said, "Sister Della, um... I like senior Yan Xi very much. Can I go into the dressing room and ask him to sign an autograph?"

Della's eyes turned cold, "Yan Xi hates being disturbed when he is resting. If you want an autographed photo, I will give you one later."

With that said, he raised his feet and walked in the direction where Qiao Zhiqin left.

Xiaoyi gritted her teeth jealously, with a cold look in her eyes.

Since she doesn't like to be disturbed, why can Qiao Zhiqin, an 18th-tier artist, use the same dressing room and share a makeup artist with Brother Yan!

What did Brother Yan like about that woman?

Della took a few steps to catch up with Qiao Zhiqin and asked in confusion, "Why didn't you just defend yourself?"

"It's just a waste of time to reason with unreasonable people."

Since Xiaoyi didn't know her fault and blamed her for the collision, even if she argued with her, it would not help, and she would end up in an endless quarrel.

In this case, it is better to do less than to do more.

Della chuckled lightly and glanced at Qiao Zhiqin, who was looking cold in front of her.

Maybe she understood why Ning Yuxi cared so much for Qiao Zhiqin.

This girl's temperament is a bit too similar to Ning Yuxi's.

When Ning Yuxi first debuted, she was bullied by her seniors, who also said similar things to her.

It's just that Ning Yuxi never wronged herself. If she was bullied, she would naturally retaliate in another way.

…

With Yan Xi returning to the crew, the filming progress of the entire crew has been accelerated a lot.

Yan Chenyu is stricter than before and strives to achieve perfection in every detail.

Yan Xi seemed to have become accustomed to his perfectionism. Everywhere Yan Chenyu mentioned, Yan Xi could perform to the point according to his requirements.

Although he was filming non-stop, Yan Xi still noticed something.

From the time she took the photo this morning until now, it seems that Yan Chenyu has never looked at Qiao Zhiqin, and his attitude towards Qiao Zhiqin has even become a little cold.

Moreover, Yan Chenyu looked very haggard, his eyes were full of red bloodshot eyes, and it was difficult not to notice the cyan color under his eyes.

During the break, Yan Xi propped up his chin and looked in the direction of Yan Chenyu, with a dark light flashing in his eyes.

Something must have happened during her absence these few days.

But from the looks of it, Yan Chenyu must have checked about Qiao Zhiqin's stay in Yuncheng.

Yan Chenyu noticed Yan Xi's gaze, walked to him and sat down, forcing a gentle smile on his lips.

"What does my sister-in-law mean by staring at me like this? If Brother Lu sees it, I may not even be able to return to Kyoto."

Yan Xi just smiled and did not directly point out his guess.

"I'm just worried about Director Yan's health. Seeing that you look pale and haggard, you should pay more attention to rest."

"Why did I hear schadenfreude in my sister-in-law's words?" There was a lot of sarcasm in her tone.

The curvature of the corners of Yan Xi's mouth gradually dropped, his lips pursed into a straight line, and he lowered his voice.

"I have no grudge against you, why should I gloat? Director Yan doesn't have to force a smile in front of me. Before, I just didn't want you to hurt Zhiqin, so I became more hostile to you, but I'm not that boring either.

Just to see your joke."

Yan Chenyu pinched the painful center of his eyebrows and exhaled a long breath.

"Sorry, sister-in-law, I didn't mean to vent my anger on you."

In the past few days, all his thoughts had been about Qiao Zhiqin. It would be better to numb himself with work during the day. When he closed his eyes at night, the story of how she was almost bullied would come to mind.

So he hasn't had a good night's sleep in the past few days, and his temper is naturally out of control.

When he sees Ning Yuxi, he will think of her interfering in the affairs between him and Qiao Zhiqin, and his anger will naturally burn into her body.

Yan Xi waved his hand, but he didn't care.

"You're torturing yourself like this because you probably investigated what happened after Zhiqin came to Yuncheng."

Yan Chenyu was stunned and looked at Yan Xi with surprise in his eyes.

"You don't have to look at me like this, your mental state has betrayed you."

From the look on his face, you can tell that he must not have slept well these past few days.

Perhaps the only thing that could keep Yan Chenyu up all night, tossing and turning, was Qiao Zhiqin.

The reason why she asked Yan Chenyu to investigate on the phone was because she wanted to test how much Yan Chenyu cared about Qiao Zhiqin.

Now it seems that Yan Chenyu is somewhat sincere towards Qiao Zhiqin because he tortured himself like this.

But I'm afraid even he himself didn't realize this sincerity.

After coming back to his senses, Yan Chenyu suddenly chuckled, and his eyes gradually changed when he looked at Yan Xi.

"Sister-in-law, I misunderstood you before. Brother Lu's vision is really vicious."

Although he was quite respectful to Ning Yuxi before, he still couldn't understand why Lu Yuting would marry such a woman.

But now he suddenly understood that Ning Yuxi had a delicate heart.

Yan Chenyu put aside his grudge against Ning Yuxi, and when they chatted, there was no tit-for-tat as before.

But they didn't realize that Qiao Zhiqin didn't come back after going to the bathroom.
