Huayu 93, I'm the ceiling of combat power from the moment I appear.

"cough!"

He Xi coughed lightly, feeling slightly embarrassed.

In the original timeline, almost twenty years after the scandal, when he saw Cecilia Cheung, his mind was still filled with the image of her in a police uniform with dazed eyes.

Wow, it's really lush!

And that was while watching through a screen.

Now, however, he is less than two meters away from the person involved in another incident.

He Xi's memory was clearer, and under the other person's gaze, he didn't dare to look down.

I'm afraid that if I suddenly lose my composure and show some strange expression on my face, it might cause discomfort or aversion in the other person.

After all, the two have scenes together and will be working together in the future.

Seeing his expression, Mai Jiaqi's expression also darkened slightly, but she quickly recovered.

Her photos had been circulating widely before, and there were very few people in Hong Kong who didn't know about them.

If she had any sense of shame, she wouldn't be in the entertainment industry now; she would just go home and sell sweet potatoes.

"Actually, I was lied to by the teacher, which is why I made a mistake."

Mai Jiaqi explained in a low voice.

This wasn't an attempt to save face, after all, she was only 15 years old at the time, a time when she was most rebellious, most self-righteous, and most prone to making mistakes...

A youth without making mistakes is incomplete.

but.

Some people grow to a height that many people never reach in their entire lives by the age of 15; people really are different.

[Ding! Quest triggered: 'Comfort Actress Mai Jiaqi'. Do you accept?]

There's a mission?

He Xi felt a surge of joy and instantly switched into her confidante mode.

Actually, I don't think you're wrong.

"You're just pursuing art, and art itself has no right or wrong."

"The ones who are wrong are those who use the name of art to do despicable things."

"He took advantage of your ignorance and youth, hurt you, burdened you with infamy, and almost ruined your future."

"He's the one who should be torn to pieces and sent to hell to suffer the torments of fire and knives!"

Hearing He Xi's words of comfort, Mai Jiaqi's expression immediately improved.

He Xi's handsome appearance is a big plus.

The same words, which others might call mockery or hypocrisy, he would say as comfort, encouragement, and genuine affection.

Just like the same sentence, if an ugly guy says it, it's harassment and lewdness, but if a handsome guy says it, it's called flirting...

We are different!

Mai Jiaqi was clearly moved by He Xi's ultimate move, "Sincerity," and subconsciously leaned forward, looking grateful.

"Thank you, Brother Xi!"

"Everyone outside says I'm promiscuous and shameless, but you're the only one on my side."

"I know you're a good person!"

This is the first film that Mak Ka-ki shot after being disqualified from the Miss Hong Kong pageant, and it is also her debut work.

The sad experience and the nervousness of starting out in the industry gradually dissipated with He Xi's comforting words.

In her eyes, He Xi was not only a caring older brother, but also an archangel who saved her from danger!

Mai Jiaqi's eyes unconsciously welled up with tears.

He Xi smiled.

This was the first time he'd ever been called "brother" on set since entering the industry, and it felt a little strange...

Yeah, that feels pretty good!

Unfortunately, this was only because the other party was young and had just entered the industry.

I don't know when I will be able to truly break through to the Junior Realm and become a Senior Realm expert.

As for the Grandmaster Realm, or even higher, those are probably not something that can be coveted in a short time.

[Ding! Mission complete, total high-energy time reward: 30 minutes!]

Looking at the system panel, which showed a remaining high-energy time reserve of more than ten hours, He Xi felt very pleased.

After exchanging pleasantries, the two sat down side by side and began to study the script.

He Xi has plenty of time to prepare for high-energy events, so she doesn't hold back and immediately activates her high-energy state.

As the pages turned, He Xi's eyes and attention were completely absorbed in the script. She was so engrossed that she forgot about Mai Jiaqi beside her and even her photo.

Mai Jiaqi's eyes were fixed on the script, but her attention was unconsciously drawn to He Xi beside her.

"Xi Ge's profile is so handsome!"

"That straight nose, those slightly pouting lips, that refined jawline, and that focused gaze!"

"He looks like he stepped right out of a comic book!"

"Damn it, why wasn't it Xi-ge I met a few years ago!"

"If it were Brother Xi, I'd be willing to do anything, not just take photos... I'd even be willing to go on a date!"

"A man who's serious is definitely the most charming!"

A dozen minutes later, He Xi closed the script; Ren Tianchou's lines were all imprinted in his mind.

He looked up and his eyes met Mai Jiaqi's, and he was immediately surprised.

"What's wrong, Aqi? Is there something on my face?"

Mai Jiaqi turned her head in a panic.

"Oh, no, no, I was just thinking about something, my eyes were just spacing out."

"Brother Xi, please don't misunderstand."

He Xi smiled but didn't say anything.

He wasn't blind or stupid; he could naturally tell whether someone was daydreaming or misunderstanding something.

However, he didn't expose it, but instead started thinking about his own performance.

The character Ren Tianchou lacks depth.

It's just... showing off!

He acts cool at the gambling table, he acts cool when he's with his subordinates, and he acts cool even when he's alone.

Of course, being handsome is useless; he will still lose miserably and badly in the end.

In the script, He Xi doesn't actually have many scenes with Mai Jiaqi, who is his subordinate.

Most of Mai Jiaqi's storylines involve her attempting to assassinate the main characters, only to be killed and tricked in return.

In contrast, He Xi has more scenes with her pet cockatoo.

Even when chatting with his subordinates, he was always playing with his parrot.

There's a saying in the film industry that scenes with children and animals are the most difficult to film.

Fortunately, parrots are generally quite intelligent, and the one that He Xi co-starred with was also very well trained.

What he needs to do is build a relationship with it and make it stay obediently on his hand instead of flying around.

So He Xi's next task was to stay in the lounge and play with the birds.

Mak Ka-ki, on the other hand, needed to leave to learn action scenes from the action director.

Mai Jiaqi left the house, turning back every few steps, her eyes constantly lingering on He Xi.

Clearly, she also wanted to play with birds.

In the literal sense.

The process of building a bond with a parrot is much simpler than you might imagine.

An hour later, after consuming several bags of snacks, the little guy jumped onto He Xi's shoulder, and he could relax and let him pet him.

The only thing that made He Xi a little embarrassed was...

The owner of this little guy seems to be a bit unconventional.

Its spoken language is filled with foreign words such as "yamete," "gai muji," and "yi dai mi."

He Xi had never studied it and didn't know what it meant.
