Rebirth in Hengdian

Chapter 19: The director's difficulties

　　At this time, the makeup artist Xiao Zhang couldn't help but interject: "Your family's Xixi indeed is very fast in filming. As a newcomer, you are doing well. Oh, looking forward to your future development!"

　　Chen Pingping proudly told the makeup artist: "Yes, our family's Xixi is the best."

　　Li Zixi shook her head. Looking at Chen Pingping, she said: "You ah, don't blow it, help pack things up." After speaking, she also faced Xiao Zhang and said, "Thank you, thank you for your compliment. Also, thank you for your makeup, it's very beautiful."

　　Xiao Zhang, packing things up, raised her head and said to Li Zixi, "You're welcome, it's my job. Jiayou."

　　Li Zixi smiled and nodded.

　　"Kacha" Chen Pingping, holding the phone towards Li Zixi, took a picture.

　　Li Zixi turned her head, frowned and said, "Don't upload to social networking sites. The director has rules."

　　Chen Pingping smiled foolishly and said, "Don't worry, Xixi, I won't upload. It's just that your profile just now is really beautiful, I couldn't hold back."

　　After a while, Yu You came in also with makeup. From afar, seeing Yu You at the moment, Li Zixi raised an eyebrow. Really an elegant and fine young man. But as he approached, seeing the same heavy makeup on his face, Li Zixi, with a 'puchi', let out a loud laugh.

　　Originally, Yu You was stunned by Li Zixi's appearance. Hearing the laughter, he immediately regained his senses and asked: "What's wrong, is there something funny on my body?" As he asked, he looked up and down at his clothes.

　　"No, very handsome." Li Zixi said while shaking her head.

　　Yu You asked suspiciously: "That, why did you just look at me then suddenly laugh out loud?"

　　"Because we are *patients with similar conditions empathizing with each other. Seeing your face with heavy makeup too, my heart suddenly became balanced."

[*Patients with similar conditions empathize with each other – empathizing/pitying each other because of the same suffering or misfortune; misery loves company]

　　Yu You, hearing this explanation, wanted to roll his eyes at her.

　　"Yesterday, why didn't I find you so talkative ah? I thought you were a quiet flower fairy. Turns out, once opening your mouth, I realized that you are actually a flower demon ah."

　　Li Zixi, also not willing to show weakness, replied: "Yesterday, I also didn't find you so funny ah. I thought you were a quiet handsome man. Turns out, once opening your mouth, I realized that you are actually..." With that, Li Zixi paused on purpose.

　　"What is it?"

　　"You are actually still a handsome man." Chen Pingping continued spoonily. Yu You is so handsome today ah, begging for marriage. Especially standing together with her family's Xixi. Absolutely handsome brother and beautiful girl, *the man is able and the woman is beautiful, a pair of beauties ah.

[*the man is able and the woman is beautiful – a perfect couple worthy of each other]

　　Hearing Chen Pingping's words, Li Zixi gave her a "*teachable child" look. This is what a good assistant should do. When she's out of words, time to take over and lead from there. Although she knew in her heart, it was very likely that this good assistant had started to be spoony again.
