Chapter 54 Are You Deaf?
Upon reaching the 10th-floor filming site, Huihui finally mustered up the courage to ask for his name, but just then, a staff member approached and patted the young man's shoulder.
Before she could open her mouth, she was stupefied.
"Ye Xian, you've arrived. Jiang Xin is waiting for you in the makeup room."
"Alright," Ye Xian responded and turned to say to her, "Here we are, go find Cheng Jingshu."
"!!"
Huihui stood frozen on the spot as if struck by lightning, shocked.
Ye Xian?! How could he possibly be Ye Xian? Ahhh, that dead gay doesn't look anything like this!
Huihui had all content related to Ye Xian blocked on her Weibo, so she wasn't aware of Ye Xian's transformation.
Now, with trembling hands, she pulled out her phone, deliberately searched his name on Weibo, and when she saw the latest photos and news, she was completely dumbfounded.
"Nowadays, really anyone can join the crew, terrible acting all over, scandals flying everywhere, and not afraid of dragging down fellow actors. Only because Jingshu is so kind-hearted. If it were any other big-name star, they would definitely disagree…"
Ye Xian had just pushed open the door to the makeup room when he heard the sarcastic cynicism.
In the makeup room, aside from Jiang Xin and Cheng Jingshu, there was also a strange woman sitting beside Cheng Jingshu.
The woman held a small lambskin lipstick, her face painted with heavy European-style makeup, her deep brown flowing hair draped over her shoulders, and a red dress that barely covered her thighs and half her chest.
Ye Xian raised an eyebrow, recalling who she was.
A popular host on the Doule APP—Luan Xiaoyao, known for her 'open' style and 'turbulent waves'.
Luan Xiaoyao was indeed someone who got into the crew because of her relationship with a producer 'sugar daddy' from "Business World," and to avoid gossip, she always tried to please Cheng Jingshu, wanting others to believe that it was because of her good relationship with Cheng Jingshu, rather than her sugar daddy, that she had the opportunity to join the crew.
After hearing Cheng Jingshu vent about Ye Xian on WeChat yesterday, she promptly took the opportunity to suck up to her.
Others she dared not trample on, but what was there to fear in stepping on Ye Xian, the universally despised gay man?
"What are you saying? Gu Chen's acting is very good," Jiang Xin, who was in the midst of styling, could not help but get irritated upon hearing this.
"Good acting?" Luan Xiaoyao chuckled behind her hand, "That's hilarious. Everyone knows that his leading role in 'Everyone Has Superpower' broke the record for the lowest score on Douban, right? I bet even my 'Beauty' acts better than him."
'Beauty' was her pet Teddy dog.
"You…"
Just as Jiang Xin was about to slam the table, Ye Xian pushed the door open and entered, "Jiang Xin, I'm here."
"Oh~ speak of the devil, and he shall appear."
Luan Xiaoyao put away her lipstick, stood up, and sized him up with her arms crossed.
A dead gay, yet he manages to look quite dashing.
"I say, Ye Xian, you really have the nerve to act again? Haven't you been cursed enough by netizens?"
"Let's start by going over our lines," Ye Xian said, holding the script and walking straight past her, handing the script to Jiang Xin.
Luan Xiaoyao realized she was being treated as if she were invisible and was instantly fuming, "Ye Xian, are you deaf to my talking to you?"
Amidst the woman's loud clamoring, Huihui came in with a camera in her arms.
Jiang Xin: "Ye Xian, she…"
"Don't mind those insignificant people," Ye Xian said, opening the script and beginning to rehearse lines with her.
Unperturbed by praise or criticism, the young man's poise was indeed captivating to her.
Jiang Xin nodded, "Mhm."
"Hey! Are you deaf!"
Being ignored was far more insulting than any verbal clash, and Luan Xiaoyao could not stand the indignity. She stormed over to him, clacking loudly in her high heels.
