“But…”
Jiachi wanted to say something, but Jian Ai interrupted him. “No buts. Since you can’t avoid her being sad, you might as well be more direct. Are you going to reject her in front of others?”
Jiachi quickly shook his head. “No…”
“Then return the love letter. If the other party is sensible, she will understand what you mean,” Jian Ai said.
Yao Jiachi was stunned for a while. In the end, he obediently put the love letter back into his bag. “Got it.”
Jian Ai couldn’t help but sigh in her heart. Jiachi was too pure and kind. She didn’t know which girl would be so lucky to marry him in the future.
Moreover, this was only the first love letter. According to Jiachi’s conditions, this was not the only one.
…
The next day, Jian Ai came to school as usual.
As soon as she entered school, the situation was no different from yesterday. Many people were still secretly looking at her. Jian Ai didn’t look at them and completely ignored everyone’s gazes.
When she returned to class, she saw Xia Qinghuan hanging limply on the table like a fish. She looked listless.
Seeing Jian Ai, Xia Qinghuan didn’t have the strength to look up. She only snorted and said, “Morning, Xiao Ai.”
Before Xia Qinghuan got up, Jian Ai squeezed into her seat from the gap behind her slender figure. After sitting down, she asked with concern, “What’s wrong? Are you not feeling well?”
Xia Qinghuan lay on the table and answered, “I’m fine. I didn’t sleep enough.”
Jian Ai: “Insomnia?”
Xia Qinghuan heaved a sigh of relief and slowly straightened her body. Then, she said, “Other than the weekend, don’t I usually go to class? Therefore, Director Wang Yiming asked me to enter the production team after school every day. He would let me go after filming ended at around ten in the evening. The rest of the daytime scenes will be filmed during the weekend.”
Jian Ai nodded when she heard this. Chen Jin had told her about this before.
Xia Qinghuan said, “But for some reason yesterday, He Jiayi’s crying scene was before mine, but she couldn’t pass it. I watched from the side. I think she acted very well, but the director was not satisfied. He filmed this countless times. In the end, He Jiayi’s eyes were swollen from crying, and her tears dried up before she finally passed! When it was my turn, it was almost midnight. It was already past two in the morning after my filming!”
“I didn’t even go back to my house. I just found a hotel near the production team to sleep in. I got up and went to school at seven in the morning. I’m so tired!”
When Jian Ai heard this, she couldn’t help but smile. She looked at the resentful Xia Qinghuan and said, “This is the hard work of an actor. You’re only experiencing it now?”
“Sigh, how is this hard work? I’m just complaining!” Xia Qinghuan smiled bitterly. When she thought of the extras in the production team, she couldn’t help but purse her lips. “There are many extras in our production team. To act with the actors or actresses, they have to wait for a day. Sigh, just looking at them makes my heart ache.”
“Two days ago, Director Wang Yiming found out that one of the extras was acting well and gave her a minor role. The girl didn’t even have ten lines, but she cried for two hours!”
Jian Ai couldn’t help but feel a little emotional. Although she had never been in the entertainment industry, she had heard a little about the situation of extras.
She couldn’t help but pat Qinghuan and sighed. “That’s why you’re so lucky!”
This sentence didn’t just mean that Qinghuan could act as the third female lead in her first drama. It also meant that she was born lucky. Even if Director Wang Yiming didn’t find out about her, it wouldn’t be difficult for Qinghuan to get a role in the film project her company invested in.
