Actor: Thank you.

As the saying goes, it's not that there are no good things, it's that there are no good people.

As a person, having good family and good friends, especially those who can offer advice when you encounter difficulties, is a great blessing in life.

Zhang Yuan will give Ning Hao good advice and try his best to find a solution that suits both of them.

When he encounters problems, Brother Qian will talk to him nicely.

Sometimes, whether something can be accomplished or not depends on just one or two close friends.

However, Li Xin was quite different.

The friend she found afterward was somewhat unreliable.

Kan Qingzi is usually very outgoing and a bit love-struck.

She's just a bluffing woman.

But her bluffing style is different from Jiang Xin's.

Jiang Xin debuted at a young age and faced many hardships along the way, while also having to support her parents.

Having faced the burdens of life and career from a very young age, it's normal for them to have a strong personality; otherwise, how could they cope with the treacherous nature of the entertainment industry?

Zhang Yuan was able to tolerate her because although she was a bit bluffing, she had a decent conscience and wasn't truly ungrateful.

She takes care of her parents and has quite a good acting talent.

Miss Kan is quite different.

Her parents were divorced, and she was also quite good-looking when she was young.

They might not be considered top-tier in the entertainment industry, but they stand out quite a bit among ordinary people.

Therefore, I consider myself quite experienced in matters of love and relationships.

After all, she had been pursued and received letters from many boys since junior high school.

The thing people fear most is losing their sense of awe.

When you think you know everything, it only means that your comprehension ability is limited, and you are a jack-of-all-trades.

After receiving Li Xin's call, Kan Qingzi patted her chest and gave her a guarantee.

"Be a man!"

"I know it best!"

Li Xin also.

This girl is somewhat intelligent, but not much; she's also a very straightforward person.

Why don't you ask Song Yi about this?

Are you looking for Li Xiaowan?

Even asking Yang Mi would be better.

Li Xin: Sister Mi, Brother Zhang Yuan was giving me a foot massage, but I ran away halfway through. What should I do now?
Yang Mi: Coming right away!!!

Zhang Yuan was in trouble.

I asked this question instead.

Kan Qingzi: Whenever I upset my boyfriend or need something from him, I just need to put on stockings and it will definitely make things twice as easy.

It always works; it never fails.

These women forgot one crucial point: communicating with their boyfriends.

Those stockings were indeed useful.

After all, white stockings increase critical hit rate, black stockings increase attack speed, and pink stockings increase the number of rounds—that's common sense.

They are a perfect match: one dares to speak her mind, and the other dares to believe.

And there she was, Li Xin, her legs encased in white stockings, standing in the hallway outside Zhang Yuan's room.

"You... never mind, it's late at night, come in and talk if you have something to say."

Zhang Yuan first led her into the house.

it works!

Li Xin shouted in his heart.

Kiyoko's idea worked!
He ignored me during the day and even frowned whenever he saw me.

Now that she's wearing stockings, not only are they more polite, but they also let me into their room to talk properly.

After she sat down, I poured her a glass of water.

"What is it?" Zhang Yuan sat casually on the sofa, looking at her legs.

“Last night…” the girl replied hesitantly.

"I still want to ask you."

"You ran off like a shot. Are you alright? Are you feeling unwell?"

"It feels quite comfortable..." Li Xin thought to herself, squeezing her legs together.

"I was a bit out of line last night, I'm sorry."

"I left suddenly without even saying goodbye. I hope I haven't made you angry?" she said honestly.

"I'm glad you're alright." Zhang Yuan pointed to her feet: "Are your legs and feet better?"

"A little better..."

"I'll take a look."

In Zhang Yuan's understanding, they had all run away last night, but today they came looking for him on their own initiative, and were even wearing equipment that increased critical hit rate.

That's just home delivery.

Yosi!

The flower girl's work.

Of course!

It's better to miss an opportunity than to let it slip away, otherwise it wouldn't be a pity.

He then grabbed the other person's leg and placed it on his own knee.

At the same time, place your palm on the other person's ankle and knead and rub it.

Tut tut...

Zhang Yuan smacked his lips inwardly.

Yesterday I was just massaging my feet, and I didn't feel anything.

Little feet are pretty, but no matter how pretty they are, they are still just feet.

Just like some people have a hand fetish, to the point that they want to become an ordinary office worker...

He's not a hand fetishist; no matter how beautiful someone's hands are, they're still just hands.

But feet covered in white stockings are a different story!

It perfected the curves, added luster, enhanced the elegance, and inspired fighting spirit...

Moreover, white stockings are different from black stockings; they have a more sanctified feel and are more suitable for the temperament of young girls.

The quality of this white silk is just average; it would be better if it had lace trim.

Zhang Yuan kneaded the other person's arch, ankle, and toes covered by stockings.

Especially the tips of her toes, which, because of the tips of the stockings, revealed a few glimpses of her pinkish flesh.

"Uh……"

After pinching for a while, the other person, just like yesterday, covered their mouth and groaned softly.

After making a sound, the girl's face flushed red when she saw Zhang Yuan glancing at her.

It was completely red, and even the earlobes quickly turned blood red.

She never imagined that her sensitive area was her feet.

Even when I first discovered it yesterday, I still found it hard to accept.

But one of the hallmarks of human growth is the gradual understanding and acceptance of oneself.

After Yue Yunpeng accepted that he was a petty and cowardly person, his stage performances underwent a qualitative change.

He found his true self, and thus found the direction for his career.

Just like what Teacher Guo said, Xiao Yue will never be able to be as domineering and cool as Mr. Yuan on stage.

He's just not cut out for it.

He takes things to heart if someone says something to him, and he'll cry if someone insults him; he's not that much of a man.

But how many men, especially boys, can accept that they are not manly enough?

Girls are the same; they always fantasize that they are princesses high above others.

Li Xin's character, Du Liniang, was raised by extremely conservative parents. Physically, she never left the house and lived in the government office for three years without ever going to the backyard.

But he harbored a heart that transcended worldly conventions, and met Liu Mengmei in his dreams, where they enjoyed each other's company.

She felt as if she were floating in a dream.

I waver between accepting myself and finding it hard to accept myself.

Simply put, it means the body and soul don't match up.

Her weakness is her feet, and Zhang Yuan is a foot specialist, making them a perfect match.

Seeing that his opponent was getting into the swing of things, Zhang Yuan began to exert force with his kneading hands, launching a fierce attack on the opponent's kidney reflex zone!

After a long while, Li Xin, her face flushed, suddenly opened her eyes and then exerted force with her legs, trying to retract her feet.

Just like yesterday, she wanted to run away!

But then was before and now is now.

Seeing her react so strongly and with such force, Zhang Yuan was quite startled.

"I won't go too far and piss the girl off, will I?"

There is a fundamental difference between two birds being mutually attracted and using force.

He can't force people to do anything; that's not right.

Seeing the girl resist, he sighed and prepared to let go.

But then a small mishap occurred. Zhang Yuan put a lot of effort into playing the role of Takeda, the Japanese general.

He spends all his time shaving, applying face masks, and having makeup artists apply serums and pat his face with their products.

What we're after is that contrast between the savagery hidden beneath the surface of sophistication and the raw energy it creates.

So he trims his nails every one or two days, very diligently, to ensure he's a refined guy.

Well-grown nails look different from freshly cut ones.

Freshly trimmed nails break easily, and if they are rich in calcium, coupled with heavy hands and feet, scratching can easily leave red marks on the skin.

He had just finished showering and trimmed his fingernails.

And he did refine it, but not to the point of being overly refined; he didn't use a nail file to polish it after cutting it.

So when Li Xin exerted force and pulled his leg back, his fingernails scraped against the other person's white stockings.

A thin thread got caught on the edge of his thumbnail, causing the stockings to rip instantly.

"Slow down, don't rush," Zhang Yuan said as he saw this.

But the more he did this, the more anxious the other person became, and he pulled his leg away even more forcefully.

Tear!

It was just a few loose threads that were torn off at first, but now, with a bit of force, and considering that the stockings themselves were of average quality and the young girl didn't have much money, she couldn't possibly buy those high-end brand-name items that cost thousands of dollars a pair.

Then a cracking sound was heard.

The small tear from before immediately turned into a huge gash!

The skin of her calves, which was previously barely visible, was now exposed through the tear.

The ancients knew that the most beautiful woman is one who is half-concealed while playing the pipa, which aligns with the traditional Eastern aesthetic of being reserved yet subtly alluring.

The most prestigious courtesan in ancient brothels was proficient in all the arts, including music, chess, calligraphy, and painting.

Even after inviting you into the room, they would first discuss astronomy, geography, medicine, divination, and astrology late into the night; no one would take off their shoes and get on the kang (heated brick bed) as soon as they entered the room.

It's all the more tempting when you can see it but can't eat it right away.

Popular online stores also take advantage of this mentality by hiring people to queue up.

Ripped stockings perfectly capture the feeling of being half-concealed while playing the pipa.

It also resonates with the innate destructive desire in human blood!
Zhang Yuan originally intended to let the girl leave.

But as soon as you see the stockings have a hole...

blah blah blah!

He tightened his grip on the other person's leg as they were about to pull away.

Originally, the white silk only added 20% critical strike chance.

Now, once the hole is broken, purple equipment is directly upgraded to legendary orange equipment.

At the cost of reduced defense, critical hit rate, attack power, and attack speed have been greatly increased...

Zhang Yuan used his wrist to pull the girl's leg and steered her towards him.

Under his immense force, the other person instantly slid from the other end of the sofa to his position.

At the same time, he reached out his left hand and supported the other person's lower back.

What started as a foot massage quickly transformed into a standard sitting princess carry.

"I want to go back..."

Before she could speak, Zhang Yuan sealed her mouth with a kiss.

Meanwhile, at the Beijing Film Studio, the crew of "Dream of the Red Chamber" was filming a night scene.

Kan Qingzi, Song Yi, Yang Yang, and several others, dressed in theatrical costumes, were yawning.

I sat down to rest while the crew adjusted the camera positions.

"Sigh, Qinqin is so lucky." Song Yi rubbed his waist and legs and said, "Unlike us, we have to rush to filming, we're exhausted."

"She must be very happy on the big film set."

"It was an eye-opening experience to meet so many important people."

"You're sure to learn a lot."

"Yeah, unlike us who have to stay up all night, she must have gone to bed early," Kan Qingzi complained.

"I just don't know if she managed to get Li Bingbing's autograph for me." Yang Yang was still thinking about that.

"If all else fails, you could at least get me Zhang Yuan's autograph."

"She likes you so much, she'll definitely help you bring it, don't worry," Song Yi replied, resting his chin on his hand.

"Don't talk nonsense, we're just friends..." Yang Yang explained as soon as he heard the other person talking about this.

"Heh, with you being so hesitant, don't miss your chance and let someone else snatch it away."

"Don't talk nonsense." The big boy laughed, not taking it seriously at all.

Let's turn our attention back to the film crew of "The Message" in Dalian.

Although Li Xin didn't help him get Li Bingbing's autograph.

But as Song Yi said, she did manage to get Zhang Yuan's autograph.

It's just a little difficult to display.

After all, you can't exactly go back to the capital and pull down your pants to show your stomach to the other person.

“I…” Li Xin was a little confused.

She glanced at the tattered stockings on her legs and recalled Kan Qingzi's words.

It's quite useful, but it seems to be used in a slightly off-target way.

She straightened up forcefully, intending to take off the torn stockings.

"Wait a minute." But Zhang Yuan stopped him.

"It's all rotten, full of holes."

"No, no, no, I want ripped stockings!"

……

The next day, on the film set.

"Okay."

“Youpeng has made great progress, that’s more like it.”

After filming in one take, Gao Qun breathed a sigh of relief and praised Su Youpeng.

The person I set the standards for has finally met them, and I haven't let myself down.

Clap clap clap!

Zhang Yuan, who was standing to the side, led the applause. Then all the staff members in the room joined in.

Youpeng made a gesture of bowing, like a female impersonator, to express his gratitude.

"Let me treat you to dinner tonight," Peng said, pulling him aside during a break.

"After all, getting back into shape this time was all thanks to the people you introduced me to."

[Received a thank you from Su Youpeng, learning ability +1, logical thinking ability +1!]

"You're welcome, we're all family."

"Friends should help each other." Zhang Yuan was very satisfied.

Just remember that I helped you.

"Let's talk about food later."

"Oh right, you control your diet and don't eat regular food."

Su Youpeng laughed, a hint of respect in his eyes.

She really does refuse to eat for the sake of the role.

With such self-control and determination, coupled with this professional attitude, it's no wonder they succeeded.

Working with professionals is a real pleasure.

"Xiao Qin, come here."

Just then, I saw Li Xin carrying a large bag passing by.

"The director praised my acting, and you deserve a lot of credit."

"Let me treat you to dinner tonight."

"Tell me what you want to eat, order whatever you like, don't be shy."

"Thank you, Brother Youpeng, but I'm tonight..." Li Xin glanced at Zhang Yuan almost imperceptibly.

"I want to rest early tonight, how about later?"

"Yeah, it's true, making you practice with me every day at such a high intensity has exhausted you."

"Okay, we'll talk about it later, but I definitely want to treat you before you leave the crew."

"Thank you, Brother Youpeng." Miss Li smiled and nodded, appearing very obedient.

"What are you selling? It's such a big bag."

"Should I have my assistant take it to your room for you?"

"No need!" she hurriedly replied, instinctively hiding the large bag behind her back.

"It's not heavy, I can carry it myself."

After saying that, he jogged back to the hotel.

I closed the door and dumped everything from my bag onto the bed.

Pink stockings, black stockings, purple stockings, gray stockings, orange stockings, blue stockings...

There are also stockings and leg warmers in various colors.

She picked up a strip, compared it to herself in the mirror, and smiled with satisfaction.

She is gradually accepting her new self. (End of Chapter)
