Huayu: Starting with Hextech

Lin Xiao maintained his finishing pose with one knee slightly bent and the Demon Blade touching the ground.

The audience was silent.

"well!"

Master Chen was so excited his face turned red. He rushed over and patted Lin Xiao hard on the back, "Genius! You're absolutely a genius at action scenes! Director Li, use this routine! This set of movements will be absolutely explosive!"

Director Li Guoli beamed with joy, nodding repeatedly, "Use it! We absolutely must use it! Lin Xiao, well done!"

Not far away, the crowd of onlookers erupted in amazement and applause.

Brother Hu arrived sometime earlier, his face full of smiles and surprise. He walked over, looked Lin Xiao up and down, who was still panting, and teased him:

"Lin Xiao, Lin Xiao, how many more surprises are you hiding from us? Yesterday you were like a novice, and today you've turned into a martial arts star?"

Lin Xiao wiped the sweat from his forehead and laughed, "Senior brother, don't make fun of me. It's all thanks to Master Chen's excellent teaching. I just had that foundation from when I was a kid, and I finally got the hang of it."

"Your timing is perfect," Brother Hu said, shaking his head and chuckling.

On the other side, Tang Yan's eyes lit up, her hands unconsciously clasped in front of her chest, and her cheeks flushed with excitement.

She felt that Lin Xiao, who was sweating profusely but with exceptionally bright eyes, was even more dazzling and... captivating than the cold and aloof Demon Lord in the promotional photos.

Yang Mi exclaimed excitedly, "Wow! That was so cool! Lin Xiao, that mid-air flip you did was so awesome! Tangtang, didn't you see it?!"

She shook Tang Yan's arm.

Tang Yan was brought back to her senses by her shaking, and nodded with a blush: "Um...very impressive."

Liu Shishi remained silent, simply standing there quietly, her gaze lingering on the young man in the center of the field, surrounded by a crowd, radiating youthful energy and confidence.

Her gaze was deeper than usual, and her fingers unconsciously curled and relaxed.

Filming officially began that afternoon.

After his amazing performance that morning, everyone was full of confidence in Lin Xiao.

And Lin Xiao did not disappoint.

With the help of the [1:1 replica card], he executed the enhanced action sequences designed by Master Chen to perfection, and filmed each fight scene with unparalleled smoothness.

Behind the monitor, Li Guoli looked at Lin Xiao on the screen and couldn't help but give him a thumbs up again, saying to the producer next to him, "See? We've struck gold. This kid has a bright future."

……

In the late afternoon, Lin Xiao, exhausted from a long day, had just finished showering and was drying his hair when his phone rang.

It was a text message from Yang Mi: "Lin Xiao, are you free tonight? There are a few emotional turning points in tomorrow's scene between Xuejian and Chonglou at the Well of Gods and Demons that I'm a little unsure about. I'd like to rehearse with you to get a feel for it. If it's convenient, come to my room to chat?"

The message was followed by a cute emoji.

Lin Xiao paused, holding his phone.

A room? Evening? Rehearsing a scene?

The combination of several keywords instantly brought to mind the plot of "script reading in the dark," a story that Lin Xiao, who had been exposed to countless entertainment industry gossips in his previous life, thought of.

My heart skipped a beat.

Could it be... that the benefits of rebirth came so quickly?

The plot that I could only see in gossip posts in my previous life, I'm about to experience it myself?

He pictured Yang Mi's delicate yet slightly mischievous face, and her shapely figure.

Undeniably, she is an extremely attractive woman—bold, direct, and full of energy.

But then, Tang Yan's face, with its sweet dimples and clear eyes, appeared.

During the day, by the training ground, the way she looked at me was full of admiration and joy…

Lin Xiao rubbed his temples.

"What are you thinking, Lin Xiao?" He chuckled self-deprecatingly. "Maybe they're just rehearsing their lines. Besides..."

He recalled Yang Mi's strong work ethic on set and her words that she wanted "everyone to remember the name Yang Mi."

Would a woman like this easily have something happen to her during the prime of her career, in a crowded and noisy place like a film set?

I'm afraid not.

But no matter what, it's always good to go and take a look.

Whether it's an opportunity or a trap, we'll only know when we face it.

He replied via text message: "Okay, Honey, I'll be there in half an hour."

At 8 p.m. sharp, Lin Xiao knocked on Yang Mi's door.

The door opened quickly.

Yang Mi appeared at the door.

She had clearly just taken a shower; her hair was half-dry, loose and fluffy, and gave off a faint fragrance.

She wasn't wearing a high-quality light gray silk loungewear set; instead, she wore a slightly loose V-neck short-sleeved top and slim-fitting trousers.

The outfit appears casual and relaxed at home, but the V-neckline perfectly reveals her beautiful collarbone and a small patch of fair skin, while the fitted trousers accentuate her round and perky hips.

She wore light makeup, and her lips were a moist coral color. Under the light, she exuded a languid sexiness.

"You're here? Come in quickly." Yang Mi stepped aside, her smile bright.

Lin Xiao entered the room.

The production crew arranged standard single rooms for the actors, with a layout similar to his room, but with significantly more women's items and personal belongings. The air was filled with the same sweet yet slightly alluring perfume scent as Yang Mi.

"Please sit wherever you like."

Yang Mi pointed to the sofa, then sat on the edge of the bed, picking up the script from the bedside table. "What would you like to drink? I have bottled water and milk from the crew."

"Water is fine, thank you, Sister Honey."

Yang Mi handed him a bottle of water, opened one for herself, took a small sip, and then got to the point:

"It's the scene tomorrow afternoon, where Xuejian accidentally enters the Well of Gods and Demons and encounters Chonglou."

The script reads, "Xuejian is both afraid and curious, while Chonglou's indifference carries a hint of amusement at the ants."

But I think Xuejian's "fear" here can't be real fear. She's fearless by nature, so it's more of an instinctive wariness of the unknown environment and powerful beings, and "curiosity" probably plays a bigger role...

When she talks about acting, her eyes are serious and her tone is clear, completely lacking her usual casual and joking manner.

Lin Xiao also composed himself, adopted a professional attitude, and discussed with her based on his understanding of Chonglou.

The two analyzed, rehearsed, and adjusted the script line by line, emotion by emotion.

It must be said that although Yang Mi is young, she has a unique talent for studying and performing her roles.

Xuejian's liveliness, naivety, and stubbornness are naturally embodied in her.

Lin Xiao had read many reports about "Chinese Paladin 3" in his previous life and was able to offer constructive suggestions.

The discussion lasted about fifteen minutes.

Then, Yang Mi closed the script, leaned back slightly, and supported herself with her arms behind her back. This posture made her already prominent figure even more eye-catching.

"Alright, now that we've finished talking about business," she said with a smile. "Lin Xiao, I've found you to be a really interesting person."

"Oh? What do you mean?"

Lin Xiao leaned back on the sofa, knowing that the "main course" might only be beginning now.
