In the entertainment industry, everyone has been reborn, but who will be their servant?

Chapter 119 Growing old together

The filming continued into the night, and Liu Yifei watched from the sidelines, taking the opportunity to learn how veteran actors act. Fan Wei, Hao Lei, and the Japanese actor in the film all had excellent acting skills.

You can also take a look at the film production process. She was quite free on the Qin Xuan set. There were no restrictions on what she could see or touch. Everything was open to her.

The creators of Qin Xuan were all very familiar with her.

The production crew booked Liu Yifei a suite, a high-end suite in a hotel. The lights were turned on with a "snap," revealing a luxuriously decorated suite.

There was a separate reception area, and Qin Xuan helped her drag in a large suitcase.

"Your investors won't scold me for wasting money living here so nicely!" Liu Yifei joked.

"You've done your part for our production team, after all. Investors aren't that stingy." Qin Xuan helped her place her suitcase in the middle of the reception room.

"I did some work? What kind of work did I do?" Liu Yifei walked to the floor-to-ceiling curtains, pulled them open a little, and saw the night view of Shanghai outside.

"Instructing the actors on their acting!" Qin Xuan followed her to the floor-to-ceiling curtains.

"You think this counts as contributing? That's too cheap." Liu Yifei didn't think she had contributed anything.

Of course, the two of them were just joking.

"It doesn't matter how much effort you put in, as long as you have the intention. When the movie is released, I'll write a special thanks to Ms. Liu Yifei in the end credits!" Qin Xuan stood beside her, his gaze fixed on her.

"Then I thank you." Liu Yifei smiled faintly, taking it as him joking.

However, when her eyes met Qin Xuan's, her expression froze, and she looked away somewhat awkwardly, because she saw that the man's gaze was somewhat intense.

Qin Xuan's eyes lit up as he looked at her, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "How many days do you plan to stay?"

"What do you think?" Liu Yifei felt a little nervous.

This tension created a sense of ambiguity between the two.

"Let's stay a few more days and go back to Beijing on the 28th," Qin Xuan said. She had an event to attend on the 29th.

"Why did you make me stay until the 28th?" Liu Yifei suppressed her lively and cheerful demeanor, displaying a girlish reserve.

"Stay a few more days, watch the veteran actors film, and learn more about how to act." Qin Xuan said this without really meaning it; he actually wanted Liu Yifei to spend more time with him.

But it's not easy to explain it too clearly.

"You're letting me stay a few more days just so I can learn how to act?" Liu Yifei asked deliberately.

"Uh-huh...yes!" Qin Xuan stammered, losing his usual composure.

Liu Yifei turned her head away and covered her mouth with a soft laugh.

"If it's inconvenient for you, then forget it." Qin Xuan looked at her smiling, feeling a little awkward.

"No, I didn't say I was inconvenient!" Liu Yifei immediately shook her head.

She hadn't planned to leave so soon in the first place.

"That's good." Qin Xuan relaxed a little, but seemed to have nothing more to say.

Judging from his appearance, Liu Yifei noticed that he usually seemed quite shrewd, but when it came to ambiguous situations, he seemed a bit lost.

Actually, she was the same way, except that she was passive while Qin Xuan was active.

If it were the other way around, she wouldn't know how to do it either.

After a moment of silence, Liu Yifei broke the silence and said, "Why don't you go back first? I'll pack my things."

"okay!"

Qin Xuan was a little reluctant to part. After taking a few steps, he turned back and asked, "Oh, by the way, were you invited to the Olympic closing ceremony?"

"Yes, I was invited! They said it would be at the Bird's Nest, but that's August 24th, a month from now. Hey, the day after that is my birthday, isn't that a coincidence?" Liu Yifei tried her best to keep her tone normal.

She knew that the man was deliberately trying to start a conversation to make her feel a little flustered.

But at the same time, a warm feeling rose in her heart, mainly because she sensed Qin Xuan's reluctance to part with her.

I also felt that heartbeat myself.

"It's quite a coincidence!" Qin Xuan nodded silently, then turned and walked towards the door.

But in my mind, I was thinking about what topics we could talk about.

Then he turned back, as if remembering something, and said, "You said you needed to pack your things, let me help you!"

"No need, no need, I can do it myself," Liu Yifei waved her hand.

There were her personal clothes inside; it would be very embarrassing if this man were to tidy them up and see them.

"Can you do it?" Qin Xuan asked deliberately.

"I can, of course I can." Liu Yifei felt uncomfortable because of him.

She understood perfectly what the man was trying to say; in fact, she was somewhat expecting something, but she didn't know how to handle the situation and just didn't know what to say.

Qin Xuan nodded, paused for a moment, and then mustered his courage to ask, "What do you think of me?"

This question made Liu Yifei panic, her heart raced, and she tried her best to remain calm.

He kept his tone normal and said, "Very good! You are talented and have ideas, but you are a bit impulsive and have no respect for anyone. But a man should be bold and courageous. That's what makes you attractive. If I were a boy, I would probably be the same as you."

After she finished speaking, a blush appeared on her face, and she felt a slight warmth on her body; it was from panic.

What she said was true. She had known this man for almost a year and had never seen him show any respect for anyone. They either interacted normally or got into arguments.

One instance was when "Fame and Fortune" was released; another was at a gathering, where he humiliated the big and small kings and those capitalists, forcing them to leave.

He seems reckless, but he's also very courageous.

She was unaware of the negotiation between Director Huang and the director of "The Forbidden Kingdom" because she wasn't present at the time.

This was quite a high compliment, and Qin Xuan felt very pleased, proving that he was viewed positively by Liu Yifei.

Seeing the blush on her face, Qin Xuan mustered his courage again and asked, "So, what do you think of me?"

This time, the character "人" (person) has been removed.

"Oh dear, didn't I already answer that?" Liu Yifei felt very lost. She stepped forward and pushed him out, saying, "Go back and get some rest. If you need anything, just text me."

If this man didn't leave soon, she would be so embarrassed that her heart would jump out of her chest, and she would feel extremely awkward and hot from embarrassment.

Qin Xuan stood outside the door, feeling somewhat helpless. He had mustered up all his courage, and logically speaking, Liu Yifei should have feelings for him.

She made a special trip to Guizhou to see me last time, and now she's made another special trip to visit me on set, and even stayed over. There must be some reason behind it; otherwise, she wouldn't have done these things.

Why does it seem like she's resisting again? I don't understand.
Inside, Liu Yifei leaned against the door, her face flushed. She took a deep breath, feeling a bit hot, and fanned herself with her hand.

She was annoyed by Qin Xuan's ambiguous relationship, which he seemed to want to say but didn't. In her heart, she didn't hate it, nor did she resist it. She even enjoyed it and wanted to try dating.

But when the moment came, she seemed to back down again; her actions didn't match her thoughts. "Coward!" She didn't know if she was cursing herself or Qin Xuan.

After calming herself down, she started packing her things, charging her phone, taking out her underwear, and taking a shower in the bathroom.

When she came out, she was already wearing pajamas, with a white headscarf wrapped around her head, and she was softly humming: "I like seeing you frown so tightly, calling me a coward, your expression is more ambiguous than that of a friend."

She regained her composure, no longer feeling tense and lost, after all, she was alone.

Liu Yifei walked to the bedside, picked up her phone and checked to see if Qin Xuan had called or texted her.

However, there was nothing on her phone. After the man went back, it seemed he had forgotten about her; he neither called nor texted her.

"What are you doing! You haven't even sent a text message." She said disappointedly. Usually, the two of them would text each other in the evenings, so this time they should have been eager to chat.

She then went back to the bathroom to dry her hair, and came out specifically to check her phone.

Meanwhile, Qin Xuan lay on his side on the bed, his eyes vacant, still wondering what Liu Yifei's feelings were for him.

Does he/she have feelings for me? Or not? What should I do?

He had previously avoided making overly intimate gestures, for fear of scaring Liu Yifei.

"Could I have scared her?" Thinking of this, Qin Xuan picked up his phone from the bedside table.

"Should I apologize to her and say I was just joking?" After thinking for a moment, I put down my phone and muttered, "Too much of a simp!"

This can only be done slowly; it can't be rushed!
Liu Yifei, having dried her hair and changed into a pink silk nightgown, her graceful figure subtly revealed, was humming a tune:

I love seeing you furrow your brow and call me a coward; it makes me feel like I'm arguing with my lover.

She was still in a good mood, but when she picked up her phone again and saw that there was still no message about Qin Xuan, her expression became somewhat wary.

He muttered to himself, "Did I scare him?"

Thinking of this, she sent a text message asking, "What are you doing?"

She is still very brave. As long as it's not a situation where she's alone with someone and has that strange atmosphere or feeling, she can be at ease.

Like just now, she felt like she was about to crash.

Qin Xuan was still lying on his side, having not moved for a long time, but when he heard his phone ring, he quickly picked it up and glanced at it.

Seeing that it was sent by Liu Yifei, he immediately perked up, sat up and replied: "Nothing, just sleeping."

"Slap!" Qin Xuan slapped himself after sending the message, regretting it; it was so tactless.

They could just reply, "Go to sleep!" That would kill the conversation.

However, Liu Yifei doesn't play by the rules. She was interesting to begin with and willing to give a chance, replying: "What, don't you want to chat with me?"

"I was thinking about it, but I felt you were a bit distant just now." Qin Xuan recalled Liu Yifei pushing him away.

I simply don't understand what Liu Yifei is thinking.

He's very intelligent when dealing with others, but his intelligence seems to drop when dealing with Liu Yifei.

"That's because we were too close," Liu Yifei replied. Being in the same room just now had indeed made her a little unsure of how to handle the situation.

But now it's much better with a mobile phone; I can say whatever I want and express myself however I want.

"Do you mean you want to keep your distance from me?" Qin Xuan was a little sad.

"Shouldn't the closeness or distance between people be determined by their own hearts?" Liu Yifei asked rhetorically.

This answer is tantamount to expressing her feelings; she's thinking, "You can keep flirting with me."

But Qin Xuan fell into silence and deep thought. He just couldn't understand Liu Yifei's heart; it was too deep.

"Oh no, did I manage to talk that man into a stupor?" Liu Yifei bit her finger and whispered, "How can I make it more obvious?"

Her eyes darted around, and she typed again: "Actually, I have many flaws, and I'm not a good girl."

She still had to find topics to talk about herself, otherwise the conversation would go down a dead end. She said this on purpose so that Qin Xuan would praise her.

If it were any other girl, upon seeing Qin Xuan's message, she would at most reply with "hmm" or "oh".

However, going in both directions would be more proactive.

Qin Xuan, who was thinking about how to reply, fell into deep thought again after seeing the text message.

How to answer? Saying she has a kind heart is already something I've said, and saying it again would be repetitive. Saying she's beautiful and pretty feels too superficial.

Not to mention that you like her looks, not her inner qualities.

Qin Xuan felt that there needed to be some method; she couldn't be so straightforward. Her answer needed to be both sophisticated and able to express her true feelings.

He launched into his attack: "You are your weakness, you are your strength, you are the key."

"Wow! You're really good at flirting." Liu Yifei exclaimed in surprise, her expression quite varied.

She typed again: "You men always say that before you get what you want, but you hate it after you get it."

“I see the real you every day, and I don’t find it annoying. I also have many flaws, but I try to be brave.” Qin Xuan looked at it, thought there was nothing wrong with it, and sent it over.

"Is this man saying I'm a coward?" Liu Yifei muttered, looking at him. "But I don't see any courage in you!"

Instead of replying to her previous comment, she took the initiative and typed: "I think relationships need time to prove themselves. If they're good, time will tell."

This was already quite ambiguous. She wouldn't dare say it to their faces, but she would dare say it behind their backs, since they couldn't see each other's state of mind anyway.

Qin Xuan, on the other side, was quite troubled. He wished he had a guide to picking up girls. He usually paid too much attention to international affairs and should have read more about relationship secrets.

This question is like opening a window for him, like saying: I have feelings for you, but it takes time.

"Will time erode our feelings for each other?" Qin Xuan paused for a moment, then burst into inspiration.

Liu Yifei smiled with narrowed eyes and began to defend herself: "If love between two people is meant to last, why should they be together every day and night?"

"If we can't be together day and night, how can we talk about growing old together!" Qin Xuan attacked.

Liu Yifei over there covered her mouth and laughed uncontrollably, in an extremely good mood. "Very good, very good, the offensive is fierce."

Now, everything is written all over her face.

Liu Yifei glanced through the text messages the two had exchanged, thought for a moment, but couldn't think of a reply. She was already being manipulated by this man.

I had no choice but to turn off my phone and get a good night's sleep.

Meanwhile, Qin Xuan waited for a long time, until midnight, but still didn't receive any message from Liu Yifei. He fell into deep thought, wondering what Liu Yifei meant.
It's so frustrating. They were so proactive just now, but then they stopped replying. It's infuriating!
