A virtual princess? She's a real princess!

—Duan Jingli: She was 17 years old.

Oh oh oh oh

—Fu Queran: Is your younger sister the kind of child who loves reading or prefers to play and is pretty?

Love reading?

Recalling their few meetings, the girl always looked distressed whenever homework was mentioned, hardly like someone who loved reading. Duan Jingli smiled and shook his head, continuing to type.

—Duan Jingli: A child who loves to look pretty and play

—Fu Queran: I'll try to recommend some things, but since I haven't been in school for a long time, what I recommend might not be what my sister likes.

—Duan Jingli: It's okay, you know a little more than I do.

—Fu Queran: In the afternoon, people usually go shopping or get their nails done. If you want to experience Huashi, you can stroll through the old streets, take photos, and have afternoon tea.

—Duan Jingli: She just arrived, so let's skip going out. It's not that tiring.

—Fu Queran: Well, I usually watch dramas, listen to music, work out, get manicures, and get massages.

—Fu Queran: Actually, my suggestion is to get a manicure while watching TV or movies, which would be more relaxing.

—Duan Jingli: Thanks, I'll go talk to her.

—Fu Queran: It's okay, Brother Li. My sister is coming to visit the set tomorrow, we'll get to know each other sooner or later. If she wants to get her nails done, I know a really good nail technician I can recommend.

—Duan Jingli: Thank you, thank you.

Then I called Bian Xiao back.

"A manicure? That sounds like a good option. I've only ever done manicures before, since I'm studying in China."

"Brother Li, could you ask me if it's possible to do one of those jobs that allows me to go to school?"

"Okay, Xiaoxiao."

"She said she could do that kind of thing, like nude or pearlescent, something subtle."

"Great! Perfect timing! I can get my nails done while watching the crime drama!" Bian Xiao even turned up the projector volume for Duan Jingli to hear.

"It's okay, just don't watch that show where we go on a hot air balloon ride together."

Just thinking about Duan Jingli's character in that drama, with a hairstyle that covered half his face and reciting lines that were so awkwardly embarrassing, made Bian Xiao chuckle uncontrollably. The actor himself was still reciting his lines next to him.

Yes, Duan Jingli used his own voice when filming this drama.

“Hey Xiaoxiao, you’re pretty cocky,” Duan Jingli cleared his throat and began reciting his old lines.

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha"

"No, no, that's too funny!"

I laughed until I cried.

Hearing the girl's unrestrained laughter across from him, did he feel like he had succeeded in some way?

"Brother Li, it's your turn to get your makeup done!" the assistant called from outside the door.

"Brother Li, you go ahead, I'm waiting for the nail technician at the hotel. Please thank Sister Ranran for me!"

"Xiaoxiao, every time you call me Brother Li, I feel like I'm almost thirty." Even though I'm not like his old-fashioned older brother, I'm only 20!

"What are you shouting about?"

"Or," the man's voice was clear and gentle, yet slightly lowered, like the branches of a Nordic forest weighed down by snow, "either Ali or Brother Ali would be fine."

After saying that, the big star suddenly blushed. Ugh, I don't know if this will work. Lately, he's been cramming on youth romance novels, learning from everyone he meets.

Every time he saw the female lead call the male lead "brother xx", he would always associate Bian Xiao with him, and then sit cross-legged on the sofa with a smug smile on his face while reading the book.

Because of this, Brother Yang has been burning incense and praying to Buddha every day lately, saying that he is possessed by an evil spirit.

If it were an experienced man, he might have realized that Duan Jingli definitely had a girl he secretly admired. Unfortunately, Brother Yang has never been in a relationship and firmly believes that someone is trying to harm Duan Jingli.

"Brother Ali"

What's the big deal? It's just a name. If you don't like it, just change it.

"Mmm," but the other person's ears and neck turned red, and their fingers almost dropped their phone. "Goodbye, Xiaoxiao, I'm going to film."

"Goodbye~"

After hanging up the phone, I breathed a sigh of relief, tidied myself up, and got out of the car. Brother Yang was waiting anxiously outside.

"Little darling, what are you doing in there! Hurry up and get your makeup done!" She pushed Duan Jingli towards the dressing room. Girls' makeup is always more troublesome than boys', and when Duan Jingli went in, the female lead, Fu Queran, had already finished half of her makeup.

"I've already sent Ah Hui."

"Ranran, thanks!"

"Oh, what's this? By the way, is she your younger sister?"

Not wanting to reveal too much, "yes"

If you say you're not related by blood, it's easy for rumors to spread. Anyway, with relatives, you can always find some connection somewhere along the way.

"I only have younger brothers in my family, and they're so naughty. I want a younger sister too."

"My sister is really great. Anyway, I've been a younger brother for so many years, and being a younger brother is useless, hahaha."

The scene we filmed in the afternoon wasn't particularly difficult; both of us are excellent actors, so we didn't really need to cut it.

......

Ahui arrived at the Caston Hotel in a car arranged by Duan Jingli. This hotel was considered the most luxurious in Huashi, and she had never stayed at it before; the cheapest night cost at least two thousand yuan.

However, I did come in with Fu Queran.

After Butler Xie confirmed her identity, she underwent two security checks, one by the hotel and one by someone from the Bian family. Only after passing these checks was she taken upstairs. Her assistant came out to greet her.

Good heavens, who is this person we're meeting? Is this really someone we'd normally get to meet? Wasn't she supposed to be a relative's sister of Brother Li?!

The assistant poured her a glass of water; the beautiful crystal glass shimmered under the chandelier.

It felt like she couldn't afford to pay for the broken cup.

However, drinking water did make me feel a little better.

"Please rest here for a while; our young lady will be ready shortly."

After the assistant left, Ah Hui looked around and thought, "Wow, this is so luxurious! My living room and kitchen combined aren't even half the size of this reception room."

"Della, the nail technician is here!"

"Okay, let her in. I'll sit here."

Li Ge's case-solving is really good! It's a suspenseful drama that's mind-bending but not too scary. Bian Xiao is thoroughly enjoying it.

Ahui didn't dare to wander around, but soon the assistant led her through the corridor to the bedroom inside.

There was a tall, blonde, blue-eyed foreign woman outside the door.

What should I do? My child doesn't speak English. Um, how are you?

"Hello," Tina extended her hand. "I'm Miss's butler, Tina."

"Hello, I'm a nail technician, you can call me Ah Hui." This person speaks such good Mandarin! No accent at all. Truly a high-end professional, a must-have for any young lady!

"Our young lady still needs to go to school, so the requirements are subtle but pretty colors."

"I know that, no problem, Miss Tina."

The housekeeper nodded, opened the door, and led Ah Hui inside.

The moment she opened the door, a smile bloomed on her face, melting away any ice or snow, and her voice was as gentle as water: "Della, the manicurist has arrived."

Sister, with your skills, why don't you go do a face-changing performance like the one you found in the sea?

Bian Xiao had already changed into his home clothes, a beige nightgown, and his hair was loosely braided with a lace headband and hung down his back.

"Is there anything I need to prepare?"

“No need, Miss,” Ah Hui shook her head. “You can just sit here.”

"That's great!" Bian Xiao obediently leaned back on the sofa, handed his hand to Ahui, and continued watching her TV series.

Bian Xiao was slightly chubby, with flesh all over his body, and his hands were soft and fluffy. In A Hui's hands, they felt like they had no bones.

During routine skincare, every strand of hair and fingernail is treated with specially customized skincare products. Naturally, the hands are fair, delicate, and boneless, like a handful of soft jade.

Wow, my hands are so beautiful! The nails are smooth and shiny; they look like the hands of a healthy child.

"Miss, what do you think of this style?" She took the iPad and showed it to Bian Xiao.

"Oh dear, don't call me Miss. Xiao Xiao, Xiao means brave and skilled in battle."

The girl turned her head and smiled, saying to her, "Your green eyes are so bright and cute."

"Okay, Xiaoxiao."

I like princesses who don't have any princess syndrome.

"This one feels very casual and pretty." Bian Xiaozai looked at them carefully for a long time. It was so hard to choose. They were all so beautiful.

Finally, after much difficulty, I chose a light pink style with a pearlescent shimmer.

This one was relatively simple and only took two hours. The assistant took Ahui home, and Bian Xiao happily took various beautiful photos of her hands and posted them on her WeChat Moments. She quickly received likes from family and friends.
