Chapter 452: Are You Kidding Me?!
Xiyan’s mouth twitched. "Absolutely impossible.""Why not?" Qiaoqiao blinked in confusion.
"Because—" I’m actually Ou Jue’s girlfriend!
But those words stayed stuck in Xiyan’s throat, left unsaid.
She and Ou Jue hadn’t gone public yet.
Xiyan’s career had just started, Ou Mama’s interference was ongoing, and occasionally there were even trolls accusing Xiyan of being an illegitimate child with no father.
In short, for a variety of reasons, now was simply not the right time to make their relationship public.
Xiyan squatted down and unzipped her suitcase, organizing her belongings as she casually said, "Anyway, it’s definitely not possible. Ou Jue doesn’t even know who she is."
"Really? I just heard the rumors~~ Everyone’s been saying Lu Sisi’s sugar daddy is super powerful. Eventually, people started speculating he’s the CEO of DT Group." Qiaoqiao fished a lollipop out of her pocket and began munching on it. "In any case, Lu Sisi isn’t simple. With that sugar daddy backing her, she never has to film kiss scenes!"
"No matter how powerful Lu Sisi’s sugar daddy is, there’s no way he’s the CEO of DT Group," Xiyan said, standing up straight.
"Who knows~ Anyway, Lu Sisi’s the type of person you don’t want to mess with," Qiaoqiao said with an exaggerated shrug. "People like us, with no backing whatsoever, just have to suck it up and endure."
Endure?
Xiyan curled her lips in disdain.
After packing her things, Xiyan flopped onto the bed and sent Ou Jue a message: Big Boss, do you know Lu Sisi?
Ou Jue: Who?
Xiyan: The leading lady in our crew. She’s known as one of the most "girlish" actresses.
After typing this, Xiyan found a photo of Lu Sisi online and sent it over.
Ou Jue’s reply was just one word: Ugly.
This woman? Girlish, my ass. She couldn’t compare to even a strand of Xia Xiyan’s hair.

Once the opening ceremony was done, introductions were brief, and everything settled down, the first scene began filming.
As for this first scene...
Xiyan sighed and resigned herself to putting on the mascot costume.
Lu Sisi shot Xiyan a glance, her brow slightly arched.
Scene One:
The second female lead, Zhixia, is dressed in a heavy mascot suit, with a big mascot headpiece, handing out flyers under the blazing sun.
The leading lady, Lu Xingxing, makes her entrance, weaving through the crowd to run forward. "Zhixia!"
Zhixia turns her head. "Xingxing? What are you doing here?"
Lu Xingxing cheerfully waves a cup of tea in her hand. "Of course, I’m here to bring my best friend something to drink! Come and sit down."
Then Zhixia takes off the headpiece and sits on the steps by the roadside with Lu Xingxing, chatting while drinking.
Simple dialogue and a straightforward scene, right?!
Yet the director called out, "Cut!" for the Nth time.
Looking at the leading lady, Lu Sisi, he said, "Your expression is off. It’s too forced. Such a simple scene, and still we’ve gone through so many takes without you capturing the right feeling?"
"Cut! The sitting position is fixed, sit here, right here!"
"Cut! Sisi, you messed up your lines again!"
For heaven’s sake, did you send down a useless teammate to torment me?!
Xiyan silently looked up at the sky, drenched in sweat from the heat.
From the very first scene, she already had to act in the scorching sun, dressed in such a suffocating mascot costume.
This kind of outfit? Wear it for a few minutes, and you’d have heat rashes all over, okay?
And Lu Sisi? She kept getting called out with "Cut!" again and again!
If it’s not botched lines, then it’s... botched lines again.
Over and over!
Are you freaking kidding me?!!!
