76: Chapter 77 Collision (5) 76: Chapter 77 Collision (5) Jian Anning almost didn’t stay on her feet and fell into the toilet as she stiffened her neck in rebuttal, “That was an accident!
I have zero interest in the men from the entertainment industry.
Even if he’s incredibly handsome, I wouldn’t like him.”
Zhao Ziyin widened her big eyes, scanning Jian Anning up and down as if she was performing a CT scan.
After a long look, she shook her head, said nothing, her expression clearly conveying a “I don’t believe you” message.
Jian Anning held her forehead, wondering how she could have such a troublesome friend?
“Enough about me, what about you?” Jian Anning deftly changed the subject, looking at her friend.
Zhao Ziyin suddenly lifted her wrist, looked at her watch, and then feigned surprise, “Oh my, it’s about time for me to go shoot.
I shouldn’t keep the interview team waiting!” With that, Zhao Ziyin walked out first.
Jian Anning sensed something was off and wanted to ask what was going on, but by then, her friend had already walked far away.
In the interview that followed, Yu Zexiao and Jiang Xuanqi seemed even closer.
When they arrived, they were shooting a scene where Lin Zixiao, the male protagonist in the movie, faced oppression from his father.
His father didn’t want him to form a band but had everything arranged for him to study abroad and, after graduating, take the broad road into government work.
Lin Zixiao had a big fight with his father, but when he returned to school, he was attracted by a burst of music.
Following the sound, he found the music room only to discover the female protagonist, Xiu Momo, playing the drums with great fervor.
The spirited and energetic sound of the drums, along with her fluttering hair and her enraptured expression, deeply moved him.
Perhaps it was because Yu Zexiao and Jiang Xuanqi had been getting along better during the past few days of shooting.
Anyway, when they shot the romantic scenes again, Yu Zexiao didn’t have the complete inability to get into character as before.
Although it didn’t go perfectly on the first take, after two or three tries, Director Li nodded in satisfaction.
After the shoot, there was a short interview.
Zhao Ziyin, glamorous and alluring as she was, came over with a smile, “Zexiao, Qiqi, hello.”
She didn’t have much of a relationship with Jiang Xuanqi but did have a brief acquaintance with Yu Zexiao.
Being the host, even without a close relationship, Jiang Xuanqi wouldn’t offend her and immediately smiled broadly.
Yu Zexiao, however, remained cold and indifferent, as if he had never met her before.
The group took their seats.
Yu Zexiao and Jiang Xuanqi sat on the couch, and before the shooting, Jian Anning, as an assistant, brought over a glass of water: “Zexiao, have some water first.”
Unexpectedly, Yu Zexiao didn’t even look at it, nor did he take the glass.
Jian Anning’s hand suddenly froze mid-air, unsure whether to stay or go.
Zhao Ziyin immediately realized the issue and swiftly helped Jian Anning out of the awkward moment, with a smile asking, “Zexiao, this is an interview program, and it would be better not to drink water during the shooting.”
Yu Zexiao didn’t even glance at her, his eyes closed, his lean body leaning back on the couch.
The atmosphere suddenly became tense!
Jian Anning had not expected that Yu Zexiao, who was usually a bit willful, wouldn’t give her any face in front of others, especially in front of Zhao Ziyin!
After a while, it was Jiang Xuanqi who broke the silence with a sweet smile and a gentle voice, “Zexiao, do you want to have a drink to moisten your throat?” As she spoke, she took the cup from Jian Anning’s hand and handed it to him.
