Jin Xiaochen glanced at Xia Feng and was reminded of recent events.
Penguin Ma and Jack Ma were by his side, acting like sycophants. They had also choreographed dances with Xia Lin for her.
This wasn't the most shocking part. What was shocking was that day when they all went to Kyoto together. She had personally watched Xia Feng leave in a domestic car with a flag.
Normally, it was hard to even glance at that car, let alone ride in it.
Jin Xiaochen hurriedly stood up and walked towards Xia Feng.
The other actors beside her looked at her curiously, some not understanding why Jin Xiaochen was making such a sudden move.
As Jin Xiaochen approached Xia Feng, her heart began to race. She didn't know how to address Xia Feng.
"Young Master Xia" didn't seem right either. Seeing that Xia Feng had come out alone, she guessed he didn't want to attract too much attention. If she called him "Young Master Xia" and she knew him, wouldn't that expose her identity?
Jin Xiaochen couldn't think further. She reached Xia Feng in a few steps and greeted him very gently, "Brother Xia, why are you here?"
Xia Feng glanced at Jin Xiaochen and smiled, "Long time no see."
"You know each other?" Liu Zhiming asked them doubtfully.
"Mhm, yes, we know each other. Brother Xia, long time no see," Jin Xiaochen replied to Liu Zhiming, her eyes fixed on Xia Feng.
"I didn't expect to meet you here. Are you also filming this drama?" Xia Feng asked.
Meanwhile, Liu Zhiming's mind was buzzing. If Jin Xiaochen knew him, it would be easy. He could ask Jin Xiaochen to persuade Xia Feng to give him a male supporting role.
"Mhm, we just started filming. Brother Xia, can I treat you to lunch?" Jin Xiaochen asked cautiously.
Since they had met, it wouldn't be right for Jin Xiaochen not to show some hospitality.
Liu Zhiming looked at Jin Xiaochen curiously. Her behavior today was somewhat unusual.
Normally, she was bold and straightforward. Now, she was like a gentle and shy young girl, actively inviting someone to lunch and being so cautious.
There could only be two reasons: either the man in front of her was someone she had a crush on, or he had a very significant background.
As a director, observing people's expressions was a fundamental skill. Without this kind of discernment, his many years as a director would have been wasted.
"Okay, I don't have anything else to do," Xia Feng replied, not refusing.
This was the first time since Xia Feng emerged that he was interacting with ordinary people alone. He felt it was quite good.
"Then it's settled," Jin Xiaochen said, beaming with joy.
Then Jin Xiaochen turned to Liu Zhiming and said, "Director Liu, please finish the next scene quickly. I need to leave at twelve."
Liu Zhiming nodded in understanding.
He was still hoping Jin Xiaochen would help him persuade Xia Feng to take the male supporting role, so he naturally wouldn't object.
"Brother Xia, please come to the director's tent and sit for a while," Jin Xiaochen invited.
"Yes, come inside and sit. You can also see how we film," Liu Zhiming quickly chimed in.
"Okay," Xia Feng nodded.
Seeing Xia Feng agree, they led him to the director's tent. Jin Xiaochen personally moved a chair for him to sit on and handed him a bottle of water.
The lead actor Zhong Wenliang and the second lead actor Du Jiaming looked at Xia Feng with confusion.
Then they looked at Jin Xiaochen. They all knew Jin Xiaochen's personality; she was the unyielding type. For her to try to please a man in such a way today made them very curious.
Jin Xiaochen's career had been bumpy since her debut. She had been blacklisted for a long time for refusing to compromise her principles and only became popular in the last two years through her own efforts.
"Wenliang, it looks like this kid is Xiaochen's boyfriend," Du Jiaming whispered to Zhong Wenliang. "Today is also Valentine's Day, he came to visit her."
"Perhaps. It's good to have someone to look after Xiaochen. She hasn't had an easy time all these years," Zhong Wenliang said, glancing at Xia Feng.
"Indeed. It's Valentine's Day today. If paparazzi catch us, it might cause trouble. I'll tell Xiaochen to be careful later," Du Jiaming nodded in agreement.
Although Jin Xiaochen was beautiful, she wasn't their type. They were all in the same circle, so helping each other was natural. Now that Jin Xiaochen had brought a man to the filming set, they were happy to see it.
At least they could tease her about it later.
"I'm not delaying your filming, am I?" Xia Feng asked Jin Xiaochen.
"No, we'll be finished soon," Jin Xiaochen quickly shook her head.
"That's good. You go ahead and be busy. Don't mind me. I'll wait here for you," Xia Feng indicated that Jin Xiaochen didn't need to deliberately stay by his side.
"Mhm, mhm. Brother Xia, just call me if you need anything," Jin Xiaochen nodded.
Xia Feng sat in the director's tent and watched for an hour, engrossed. He suddenly felt that filming was quite interesting.
However, what was filmed on set was completely different from the post-production version.
"Brother Xia, let's go. I'm done filming," Jin Xiaochen said sweetly after finishing her scene.
"Mhm, okay," Xia Feng got up in response.
Jin Xiaochen said goodbye to Liu Zhiming. Liu Zhiming even gave Jin Xiaochen a meaningful look, signaling her to help him talk to Xia Feng.
Jin Xiaochen pretended not to see it. How could Xia Feng possibly come to film a TV drama? Besides, she wouldn't bring up such a matter.
Jin Xiaochen had already instructed the driver to park the star van outside the set.
As soon as they reached the outside, a Porsche Cayenne drove over and parked behind the star van. A man in a shirt got out.
He was holding a bouquet of flowers and walked towards Jin Xiaochen with a smile.
As for Xia Feng beside Jin Xiaochen, he was completely ignored.
The man's eyes were only on Jin Xiaochen.
Today was Valentine's Day, and he had specifically flown from Kyoto to Shanghai, hoping Jin Xiaochen would spend it with him.
"Xiaochen, Happy Valentine's Day."
Guan Xinde handed the flowers to Jin Xiaochen and said.
"No, thank you. I have something to do," Jin Xiaochen said coldly.
Then, she immediately said to Xia Feng in a gentle voice, "Brother Xia, let's go."
Guan Xinde's face turned ashen. He had been pursuing her for two years, and she always treated him this way. Now, she was speaking so softly to another man. He suddenly felt like he had a green hat on.
Although Jin Xiaochen had no relationship with him, he had long considered Jin Xiaochen his intended woman.
If any other man dared to get close to her, he had to intervene.
"Xiaochen, who is this?"
Guan Xinde looked at Xia Feng and asked.
"Guan Xinde, I have no relationship with you. We're not even ordinary friends. Please stop bothering me in the future,"
Jin Xiaochen turned around and shouted angrily.
After speaking, Jin Xiaochen invited Xia Feng into her star van.
"Kid, have the courage to give me your name. My brother is Wang Zhuo," Guan Xinde's eyes were red with anger.
Flying from so far away to be a lickspittle, without even the qualification of a dog.
Now, seeing his goddess get into a car with someone else, he couldn't take it anymore. It was getting into a car now; perhaps they would end up in bed tonight.
"Xia Feng."
Xia Feng's light voice came from inside the car. Then, the car door closed, and the star van sped away.
