Just when Ji Lin was thinking to look through what else Koi had uploaded, the lounge door was suddenly opened by someone. Ji Lin turned around and saw a girl in a white skirt standing in the doorway with a panic-stricken expression.

"Eh, Ji, Teacher Ji?" As soon as the long-haired girl saw Ji Lin, she immediately put on a startled look. She apologized delicately and pitifully, "I'm sorry. I didn't see the door number clearly, I didn't know this was your private lounge….."

As she said so, her eyes swiftly glistened with tears, looking very pitiful.

Only now did Ji Lin identify this girl as the female lead of the MV that they were shooting for. If he remembered correctly, she was called Xu Qingwan, a newcomer who he had never heard of before.

Although Ji Lin felt like it was a pity that his sister couldn't join the audition, he was more concerned about Siyu's health. Thus, the behind-the-scenes work that had been well prepared for Siyu could only be stopped. It was under such circ.u.mstances that Xu Qingwan obtained this opportunity.

Ji Lin didn't have any opinion on Xu Qingwan. After the female lead candidate was decided, they never talked face-to-face. However, thinking that they needed to work together later, Ji Lin answered her with a short sentence: "It's ok."

Ji Lin dismissed her with a cold and indifferent sentence. The smile he had when scrolling Weibo just now instantly disappeared; instead, it was replaced with a rather business-like expression.

Xu Qingwan noticed that Ji Lin didn't seem to want to continue the conversation and bit her lip. She suddenly stepped into the room and softly asked: "Teacher Ji, the shooting will officially begin later. I'm a newcomer without a lot of experience. This opportunity was very hard to come by for me. I also know that this shooting is very important to you, so I hope to do as much as I can without holding you back. There are still some aspects of the shooting that I don't understand. May I take some of your* time to discuss it?" [T/N: the you* here is a polite form of you 您]

Xu Qingwan phrased her words beautifully as if she was truly just asking for advice from her senior. However, Ji Lin has been part of the entertainment circle for so many years. What kind of girl hadn't he seen? Almost in an instant, he caught the ambiguous glint in Xu Qingwan's eyes.

This girl….. Ji Lin frowned. Everyone knew that the director was the one calling the shots for the MV shooting of 《Shang Hen》. If Xu Qingwan had a question, she should go and ask the director. What's she asking him for? Moreover, he debuted as a singer and didn't know that much about acting either. So what advice could he possibly offer to Xu Qingwan?

"Director Fang is in the lounge at the end of this corridor. He should have some time right now. " Li Jin looked down and continued playing on his phone again without a single glance.

Xu Qingwan's expression turned stiff.

She wasn't stupid. Ji Lin's sentence means that she should go look for the director instead of bothering him! This was him politely driving her away!

Understanding this point, Xu Qingwan's gaze became even more pitiful. The tears in her eyes seemed like they could fall on the spot. It's too bad that Ji Lin was absorbed in playing with his phone and did not lift his head. Xu Qingwan's coquettish glance was cast on a 'blind' person.

How could this be, Ji Lin shouldn't treat her like this…. Xu Qingwan barely maintained her smile while her heart was in a complete mess. In her past life, Ji Lin doted on her and loved her. Everyone envied her for obtaining such a superstar's love. Yet, why was Ji Lin so indifferent towards her now?

Could it be because they met at the wrong time? In her past life, she took many detours. It was only when she made her debut in that talent show that she met Ji Lin. She experienced countless difficulties along the process. This time, she didn't want to wait that long and advanced their encounter. Why…..

Xu Qingwan's brain was in a mess. However, as she looked at Ji Lin's cold and detached side-profile, she didn't have the courage to step forward again. She staggered out of the room and b.u.mped into someone without even realizing it.

"Ah, hey!" Xiao Ai was b.u.mped into for no reason by this girl who did not look where she was going and shouted. But Xu Qingwan did not seem to hear it, she walked unsteadily like a wandering ghost. Xiao Ai  looked at her departing figure speechlessly and muttered, "Newcomers these days…."

Hearing Xiao Ai's voice, Ji Lin finally lifted his head: "What happened?"

Xiao Ai remained silent. When she recalled just now which lounge Xu Qingwan had walked out from, she immediately came to her senses. She cursed in her heart and stomped her foot: "Ji-ge, that little newcomer came to disturb you, didn't she? !"

Ji Lin shrugged: "She said she went into the wrong room."

Who would believe that?! Like a mother hen whose little chick was being coveted by others, Xiao Ai was on guard as she frowned: "Ji-ge, don't worry. With me helping you keep watch, it'll be impossible for anyone to scheme you!"

Ji Lin just said "oh" and didn't take it seriously; rather, he beckoned Xiao Ai closer. After Xiao Ai abided, she heard him say in a low voice: "By the way, I heard Ling-jie has a good relationship with Zhou Siyu. Could you help me ask Ling-jie later if Zhou Siyu has a Weibo account or not? Moreover, Ling-jie has a daughter, right? Go buy something that little girls would like and give it to her, as a gift to celebrate her safety. Of course, it's fine if you say it's from me."

Xiao Ai: “…..Ji-ge, what the heck are you up to? “

Ji Lin coughed and straightened his back, with a very serious expression: "I'm just asking, nothing else. "

Xiao Ai: ……liar! It must be about that little model! Ji-ge, are you really determined to pursue that person? Then should she (Xiao Ai) help cover up for him?

…….

Under her editor -Muyan- orders, Siyu who secluded herself in her home and shut down the internet with tears in her eyes. She drove out three chapters at once and was finally granted liberation. Naturally, she didn't know that a certain someone with "ulterior motives" was secretly inquiring about her Weibo, not to mention that fan art of Ji Lin that she had shared on a whim had already been seen by the person himself.

As for her? Well, her own brother firmly believed that she was a fake fan.

After a few days of drawing, her body which had just started to get better was ruined again. However, Siyu who had a life extension strategy was totally unfazed. The more she vomited blood, the happier she played.

While decocting the medicine, the doorbell suddenly rang. Siyu walked over to open the door, only to find out that the person standing outside was a stranger. It was a madame who was completely adorned with famous brand accessories.

"You are….?" Siyu was dumbfounded and somewhat confused.

When that madame saw Siyu's face, extremely complex emotions leaked from her eyes. For a long time, she looked around the simple decoration of the house. Veiled disdain flashed across her face, but she quickly adjusted her expression and put on a befitting smile. Yet even though the madame had already made a great effort to seem benevolent, her tone still carried the lofty sense of superiority.

"Xiao Yu, don't you remember your own mother? Mother heard that you came to Jiang City by yourself. I was afraid that you weren't doing well, so I immediately came here to take a look at you."

Riel: Heck! The female lead and the mother finally appeared. Ahhh… I'm glad I've never seen such person in real life, or else I'd…. I'd…. nevermind, I don't want to go to jail.
Pssst… I'm also glad that Ji Lin wasn't some kind of protagonist whose IQ gone to non-existence.
