Chapter 301: Was Indeed Worthy of Being the Champion of Sanda

Shi Xi smiled awkwardly. “That was just an accident.”
Shi Xu retorted, “Accidents don’t happen twice in a row.”
Shi Xi: “…”
“You injured your foot twice in a row,” Shi Xu said. “And nailed yourself to a wheelchair.”
Shi Xi was speechless.
Chu Yuan said, “Mr. Shi, the production team will protect Shi Xi well. They won’t let her get hurt again.”
“Can you guarantee that?” There was a smile on Shi Xu’s face, but it did not reach his eyes. “The production team has too many people and too many hands, and you guys are from a wuxia drama. You guys fly around all day long.”
“I have a good sister, and now she only lost two legs. If she doesn’t even have hands in the future, who will take responsibility?”
Chu Yuan was very cowardly and did not say, “I’ll take responsibility.”
He knew that he could not take responsibility.
Shi Xu pushed the wheelchair handle and smiled. “I’ll send you back to rest.”
“I don’t want to rest. I want to eat,” Shi Xi requested.
“Then I’ll push you to the dining room.” Shi Xu took a detour and pushed Shi Xi to the dining table. “I’ll go change.”
Shi Xi sat at the dining table with her elbows on the table and her hands on her face.
Chu Yuan saw Shi Xu leave the dining room and sat opposite Shi Xi. He asked, “What do we do now?”
“I’m thinking about it.” Shi Xi held on for two seconds before her eyes lit up. She suggested, “Why don’t we elope?”
Chu Yuan: ?!
Shi Xi changed her words. “What I’m saying is that we should sneak back to the set while my brother isn’t around.”
Chu Yuan hesitated. “Is that a good idea? Your brother doesn’t seem like an easy person to talk to — even though he does look like one.”
Shi Xi said, “If you’re discovered, just act coquettishly. It’s fine. He won’t hit me.”
Chu Yuan asked, “Your brother can hit people?”
Looking at how gentle he was, he really didn’t seem like a person who would hit people!
Shi Xi said, “When he was in school, he was the champion of sanda.”
Chu Yuan fell silent.
“…I’ll go talk to your brother again.” Chu Yuan turned around and left.
Shi Xi said from behind him, “If he wants to hit you, you’d better cover your head and squat down.”
Chu Yuan walked even faster.
Shi Xi prayed for him in her heart.

Chu Yuan asked Mother Shi and walked to the door of Shi Xu’s room.
He knocked on the door.
“Please come in.”
Chu Yuan pushed the door open and entered. He saw that Shi Xu was wearing a T-shirt.
From his angle, he could just see Shi Xu’s abs.
As expected of the champion of sanda.
He believed it.
When Shi Xu saw that it was Chu Yuan who came in, he wiped his hair with a towel and asked, “What’s the matter?”
Chu Yuan thought about the face he relied on to survive and said, “It’s almost time to eat. I came to call you.”
Shi Xu paused and smiled. “I thought you were here to persuade me to let Xi Xi join the production team.”
“If I persuade you, would Mr. Shi be willing to let Xi Xi join the production team?” Chu Yuan probed.
Shi Xu said, “No.”
Chu Yuan placed his hand on the door handle. “Sorry to disturb you.”
After saying that, he immediately closed the door.
When they returned to the dining room, Shi Xi asked Chu Yuan, “How was it? Did my brother agree?”
Chu Yuan shook his head. “I tried my best.”
Shi Xi sighed. “Let me do it.”
As expected, a person still had to rely on themselves.
Chu Yuan pushed Shi Xi to Shi Xu’s door. “Good luck.”
Shi Xi took a deep breath and knocked on the door before entering.
Shi Xu wiped his hair and was sitting on the sofa looking at his phone. “The matter of joining the cast and crew is non-negotiable.”
“Big Brother, you’re the best big brother in the world. Can you let me join the crew?” Shi Xi started to act coquettishly.
“I’m not,” Shi Xu said coldly.
No matter what Shi Xi said, Shi Xu would not let her go.
Chu Yuan stood at the door and played a game for a while. When he saw Shi Xi come out with a dejected expression, he knew the ending.

Chapter 302: Tattling To Mother

“Should I inform Director Yan?”Chu Yuan asked.
“No, I must return to the production team!” Shi Xi took a deep breath.
Chu Yuan felt that his beauty was completely useless in the Shi family.
If Shi Xu was a woman, he could still be confused.
What a pity.
Chu Yuan asked, “What do you want to do?”
Shi Xi said firmly, “It seems that I can only use my trump card.”
“What trump card?” Chu Yuan was puzzled.
Shi Xi smiled confidently.
Lunch.
When Shi Xu arrived at the dining table, he was lectured by Mother Shi.
“I heard that you won’t let Xi Xi go to the production team?” Mother Shi’s expression was not worried.
Shi Xu glanced at Shi Xi and said to Mother Shi, “Mom, I’m worried that Xi Xi will be injured in the production team.”
“She’s eighteen years old, not eight years old. How can she be injured?” Mother Shi lectured, “If we don’t let her suffer a little now, what will happen to her in the future when she encounters setbacks? If her leg is injured, she won’t go to work? You had a fever of 39 degrees before, but didn’t you still go to the acquisition meeting? How is Xi Xi worse than you?”
After Mother Shi lectured him, Shi Xu looked at her helplessly.
Shi Xi lowered her head and ate.
Chu Yuan thought to himself, ‘Her trump card is to complain to her mother?’
Would it work?
After being lectured for a long time, Shi Xu said, “Shi Xi, you can go to the production team.”
Chu Yuan: ?!
It really works?
Shi Xi heaved a sigh of relief and her smile widened. “Thank you, Brother!”
“However, I will find you a bodyguard to protect you,” said Shi Xu. “You are not allowed to refuse!”
Shi Xi nodded and accepted Shi Xu’s final request.
In the afternoon, Chu Yuan and Shi Xi went to the production team first.
The entire production team welcomed Shi Xi’s arrival.
Compared to Nan Wan, Shi Xi was too easy to get along with!
Her acting skills were good, her temper was good, and she cooperated with the work. When everyone went out to work, they liked to meet highly efficient colleagues the most.
Shi Xi asked the makeup artist to apply makeup on her while she held the script that she had just finished revising and started memorizing her lines.
They only added scenes where she jumped off a cliff and was crippled.
Fortunately, Director Yan liked to revise the script, so everyone in the production team was used to memorizing the script at the last minute.
Shi Xi quickly memorized the lines, allowing herself to quickly enter the plot.
Nan Wan had wasted a period of time filming. After Nan Wan left, the second female lead’s scenes were left empty, and another period of time was wasted.
Fortunately, the technology was advanced now. If it was before when the film was so precious, Nan Wan would definitely be scolded to death.
Shi Xi finished memorizing one page and turned to the next page. It was still her scene.
There was no need, right?
They had filmed so many scenes for her in the afternoon?
Shi Xi braced herself and continued memorizing the lines.
Fortunately, compared to before, there were only slight changes, so Shi Xi memorized them rather quickly.
*
After Tang Xi fell off the cliff, she was rescued by a hunter.
After being in a coma for three days and three nights, Tang Xi finally woke up, but she found that her legs could no longer walk.
After knowing that she was a cripple, Tang Xi desperately wanted to commit suicide, but was stopped by the hunter.
“Miss, even ants can survive. Why do you have to be so stubborn?” The hunter comforted her. “You fell from such a high cliff and didn’t die, which means that your life shouldn’t be over.”
Tang Xi clenched the dagger in her hand, and her eyes became firm.
She hadn’t gotten her revenge yet. Since she was still alive, she had to get revenge!
She had to find the murderer who destroyed the Tang family’s home!
She must make them pay with their lives!
..
“Pass!” Director Yan let out a long sigh of relief. He rarely praised her, “Not bad, not bad! Let’s take a ten-minute break and continue with the next scene.”
After watching Nan Wan’s performance for a long time, Director Yan then looked at Shi Xi. He felt that everything before him was bright.
The sky was bluer, the clouds were whiter, and the air was fresher.
No matter how he filmed it, it was pleasing to the eye.

Chapter 303: Cannot Be Brave

After shooting ten scenes in a row, except for a few NGs, almost all of them were done in one go.
Shi Xi was also surprised at the improvement in her acting skills.
Perhaps because she had really spent a few days on a tightrope, she had a deeper understanding of the role.
At the end of the scene, Zhu Lin pushed Shi Xi and could not help but complain in a low voice, “You just came back, and Director Yan already let you shoot so many scenes. Why didn’t he let you rest a little longer!”
“There’s a break in between.” Shi Xi yawned sleepily and said, “Director Yan has fallen so far behind, so he’s naturally anxious.”
Zhu Lin pushed Shi Xi to the front of the car door and looked at Shi Xi. “How are you going to get up?”
Shi Xi stretched out her hand. “Carry me.”
Zhu Lin hesitated for a moment and said, “I’ll go find the driver.”
Shi Xi: “…”
“I’m afraid that I’ll accidentally drop you,” Zhu Lin said with an embarrassed smile.
Shi Xi leaned back in her chair. “Go on, go on.”
Zhu Lin turned around and saw Chu Yuan. “Eh? Teacher Chu, are you looking for Xi Xi?”
Chu Yuan nodded. “Yes, Director Yan asked me to bring Shi Xi for a meal.”
Chu Yuan, who had changed his makeup and hair, was handsome and charming.
Shi Xi had already gone through the initial shock of seeing Chu Yuan’s face.
But who would reject a handsome man?
“Ahem,” Zhu Lin said tactfully, “Teacher Chu, it’s not very good for you and Xi Xi to have a meal together, right?”
Both of them were single in the entertainment industry. If they were photographed…
Shi Xi came back to her senses and said, “Forget it.”
Chu Yuan said, “Director Yan will reimburse us for the meal.”
Shi Xi said, “Let’s go to Jin Manlou.”
*
Not only did Chu Yuan have outstanding looks and acting skills, he also had a very gentle personality. He received people like a spring breeze.
When Shi Xi was having dinner with him, she felt as if she was walking in the middle of the clouds.
They could discuss the script together and tell interesting stories about the production team together.
Zhu Lin, who was beside them, held a spoon and felt that she was unnecessary.
She looked at the atmosphere between the two of them again.
Could it be that they were going to fall in love?!
Zhu Lin sounded the alarm in her heart.
After dinner, Chu Yuan considerately accompanied her back to the hotel and was willing to be a porter.
He closed the door.
Zhu Lin shook Shi Xi’s shoulder and said, “Wake up! You can’t date him!”
Shi Xi leaned back in her chair. “I’m focusing on my career now, so I definitely won’t date him. Besides, Chu Yuan is eight years older than me. He’s a little old.”
A 26-year-old three-time Best Actor? Was he old?
Zhu Lin’s mouth was agape. She didn’t know what to say.
As Shi Xi removed her makeup, she said, “Don’t worry. To me, Chu Yuan is just an outstanding senior. I only have respect for him. I definitely don’t have any improper thoughts!”
“Then what if he has improper thoughts toward you?” Zhu Lin could not help but ask.
“Isn’t the age difference between us too big?” Shi Xi pondered and said, “Although he looks young, that’s just his appearance.”
Zhu Lin: How can my own artiste be so clear-headed?
“Chu Yuan is very popular and has good acting skills. It’s also good for such an outstanding person to develop into a friend.” Shi Xi blinked her eyes. “Don’t worry about my career. I definitely won’t collapse my house.”
Zhu Lin stuttered, “You, you, it’s good that you know. I’m going back to sleep.”
Shi Xi waved her hand. “Good night.”
After sending Zhu Lin off, Shi Xi looked at the bed in front of her and thought about how she should get up.
Fortunately, her hands and knees were still functional.
After going through a lot of hardships, Shi Xi finally climbed onto the bed and fell asleep.
It was a dreamless night.
“Shi Xi, is your alarm clock for decoration?”
Hearing Han Chuan’s voice, Shi Xi helplessly opened her eyes and sat up to see Han Chuan in the room.
Besides Han Chuan, there was also a handsome boy with short hair.
Shi Xi: ??!

Shi Xi pulled the blanket and said helplessly, “Brother Han, next time before you enter my room, can you knock on the door first?”
Han Chuan: “I did. You didn’t hear me.”
Shi Xi:” …Please wait for me outside. I’ll get up first.”
“Can you get up?” Han Chuan glanced at Shi Xi and said, “I heard that both your feet are useless.”
“I’m just injured, not disabled,” Shi Xi explained.
Han Chuan shrugged and did not care what Shi Xi said. Instead, he said to the short-haired boy beside him, “This is Shi Xi, the person you have to protect.”
Shi Xi’s eyes were filled with confusion.
Han Chuan introduced, “This is the bodyguard that President Shi hired for you. His name is Tian Hongyi.”
“Just call me Xiao Tian.” Tian Hongyi nodded slightly.
“Xiao Tian?” Shi Xi’s mind, which had just cleared up, went blank for a few seconds.
A handsome man was actually called Tian Hongyi, such a rustic name.
And his nickname was Xiao Tian.
Shi Xi thought to herself, ‘As long as you’re happy.’
“Carry her down first. I’ll wait for you in the living room.” Han Chuan turned around and walked out of the bedroom.
Tian Hongyi was ready to carry Shi Xi.
Shi Xi immediately said, “No need. I can get out of bed by myself. You guys wait for me outside.”
After a few days of training, Shi Xi had learned to get up and down on her own.
Han Chuan did not force her. He brought Tian Hongyi outside and waited.
Not long after, Shi Xi washed up and came out.
Zhu Lin brought breakfast over. As Shi Xi ate, she listened to Han Chuan’s introduction.
Han Chuan said, “From now on, Xiao Tian will be your bodyguard and driver. He will be responsible for your safety and personal safety. Zhu Lin will take care of your daily life.”
Shi Xi leaned against the back of her chair and said, “It will be even better if you can find me a stunt double.”
“Then you can stay in the wheelchair forever,” Han Chuan retorted. He said, “The new series of Kuai Xue will be delayed for a period of time. During this period of time, you just need to focus on filming [Nine Blades of Tang]. I will handle the other assignments.”
There was no need to ask how to handle it.
All of them were rejected.
Sigh.
After changing drivers, Shi Xi realized that even though Tian Hongyi looked young, his driving skills were even more stable than the previous experienced drivers.
She drank the iced americano coffee in the car and did not spill a single drop.
Not bad, not bad.
After arriving at the production team, Tian Hongyi carried the wheelchair down from the car and carried Shi Xi down.
—
Outside the set, a group of people gathered to film the actors’ daily lives for fun.
The videos they filmed would be sold to fans at a high price. Those with commercial value would be sold to marketing numbers.
And the video of Shi Xi being carried down from the car by a strange man was recorded by a distant representative.
#Shi Xi Being Carried By a Strange Man Princess Style#
The representative shot was very far away. It only recorded Shi Xi being carried down by a strange man, but it was blocked at the back.
However, such a short video had already made it onto the hot searches.
[Shi Xi is in love? Did my house collapse?]
[She’s back on the set of [Nine Blades of Tang], right? Why is she so stubborn? She’s actually in love while her career is on the rise?]
[Looking at her face, I know that her house will definitely collapse.]
[She’s hugging and kissing in public. Looks like she doesn’t care about what her fans think.]
When the black fans saw the news about Shi Xi’s collapsed house, they were both surprised and happy, especially Nan Wan.
“The wheel of fortune has turned!” Nan Wan saw the malicious comments about Shi Xi and liked it.
However, Nan Wan forgot to change her account to eat melons. The Weibo that she liked appeared on her home page.
Hence, another topic also appeared on the hot searches.
#Nan Wan Liked Shi Xi’s Collapsed House Weibo#

Chapter 305: Cannot Walk Down?

[I’m dying of laughter. Nan Wan is eating melons, right?
[Is her hand slipping? Or is she secretly rejoicing?]
[Previously, Nan Wan and Shi Xi had a red carpet PK, and then Nan Wan stole Shi Xi’s character, but Shi Xi snatched it back. These two people are sworn enemies! Now that Shi Xi has collapsed, Nan Wan will definitely be overjoyed.]
Nan Wan had yet to realize that she had clicked ‘like’. It was only when her manager called her that she switched off her account.
But she did not care at all.
In any case, Shi Xi was about to flop after falling in love. Among the current female celebrities, there was no longer anyone who was her match!
Nan Wan was dreaming, unwilling to wake up.

Shi Xi’s fan club.
Ji Yin watched the video dozens of times, but she still could not find a single point to defend.
The fan club group was also in an uproar.
[What’s going on? Is Shi Xi really in love?]
[It can’t be? She’s only 18 years old. It’s considered puppy love, right?]
[I originally thought that Shi Xi was a career-minded person, but I didn’t expect her to be a love brain.]
Ji Yin: [Take a look at the video. Is there some misunderstanding?]
The Head of the Copywriting Team: [What misunderstanding could there be? That man didn’t carry her out of the car? Shi Xi wasn’t in his arms? The video is so clear! What else is there to say?]
[Just take it that I was blind to actually like such a shameless and lowly woman. I thought that she was young and must be very innocent, but I didn’t expect her to be so shameless. Disgusting.]
Ji Yin immediately kicked them out of the group.
Even if Shi Xi was really in love, it wasn’t the reason why fans could maliciously insult her.
When the others saw Ji Yin make her move, they all calmed down.
Ji Yin: [I’ll try to contact the company. Don’t be too anxious to leave the set.]
The higher-ups of the fan club could contact their managers or assistants.
For example, Ji Yin had Zhu Lin’s WeChat.
However, Zhu Lin had yet to reply, so Ji Yin had no choice but to call her.
Zhu Lin, who was on set, received the call and asked, “What’s wrong?”
Ji Yin: “Weibo says that Shi Xi is in love.”
“In love? With who?” The image of Chu Yuan, Xie Yunzhou, Sheng Yan, Director Yan, and Shen Hanquan flashed through Zhu Lin’s mind.
“So she’s really in love?” Ji Yin asked.
“How is that possible?!” As Zhu Lin said this, she opened Weibo and saw the video.
She was speechless.
“That’s Xi Xi’s newly hired bodyguard,” Zhu Lin explained.
“Even if it’s a bodyguard, he doesn’t have to carry her down, right?” Ji Yin’s tone was a little harsh.
Zhu Lin asked, “If you don’t carry her down, how is she going to get down?”
Ji Yin asked back, “She can’t walk down?”
Zhu Lin: “...”
D*mn, there was a difference in information!
As Shi Xi’s assistant, Zhu Lin naturally knew that Shi Xi’s foot was injured and that she needed to be in a wheelchair.
But the fans didn’t know that!
Shi Xi had never told anyone that she had an injury on her foot.
Even if she had been filmed on set, everyone would have thought that it was for the role.
To the netizens and fans, Shi Xi was still considered healthy.
Zhu Lin explained the situation clearly and said, “Xi Xi didn’t want her fans to worry about her injury.”
“Don’t tell anyone either. I’ll ask Brother Han how he’s going to deal with it.”
After knowing that Shi Xi wasn’t in a relationship and only had a crippled leg, Ji Yin heaved a sigh of relief.
Ah, no, Ji Yin was even more worried. “Then when will she recover? Is her injury serious? Why is she injured? How did you... Why did you hang up?”
Ji Yin looked at the phone call that had been hung up and felt mixed emotions.
She didn’t know whether she should be happy or worried.
