From that conversation, it was clear that the two of them had a good relationship. Despite Gao Xin calling herself a bigmouth, it was evident that Jing Mo trusted her a lot.
Looking at Jing MO in the mirror, Gao Xin couldn’t resist teasing him, “Dude, I’ve never seen you care so much about a meal before. Why is it that when others invite you for a meal, you’re unwilling to go no matter how much they insist? It seems you’re waiting eagerly for this one!”
Jing MO didn’t reply. Xia Xin felt a bit embarrassed, but it was the makeup artist for Gao Xin who couldn’t hold back. She forcefully turned Gao Xin’s head straight and said, “Miss, could you please keep your head still for a moment? Let me finish your makeup and hair. I won’t even complain if you start doing a neck dance!”
Gao Xin didn’t dare to argue back and could only make a face in silent protest.
Xia Xin was immediately drawn to this girl, finding her amusing and friendly.
Gao Xin was outgoing by nature and couldn’t help striking up a conversation with Xia Xin, “Hey, you’ve been so popular online recently. Why do all the animals like you so much? Do you have any secrets?”
Xia Xin found it hard to explain the reason and could only be vague. She said, “Maybe it’s because I’ve had a connection with animals since I was young. I even studied biology in college and researched on small animals.”
Gao Xin pouted, “That’s quite an enviable skill. The script says we’ll be interacting with lions in this episode. Lions are so fierce. Won’t there be any danger?”
Xia Xin explained, “There will be professional lion keepers present today for this segment. There won’t be any danger. Also, we won’t actually be in direct contact with the lions. We just need to place raw meat in front of their cages, and the keepers will take care of the rest.”
Jing MO was curious and asked, “What’s your role?”
Xia Xin answered, “Actually, I have very little screen time in this episode. If it weren’t for the contract with the show, I probably wouldn’t need to appear at all. So, my responsibility is to find the meat with you all and bring it to the lion cages.”
Jing MO glanced at Xia Xin and advised, “Stay safe.”
Gao Xin chimed in, “Indeed, safety should be a priority. I’ve noticed that Miss Xia Xin here seems to be at odds with this show. She’s been injured in almost every episode.”
After Gao Xin spoke, her agent, Zhou Ping, handed her a phone, saying, “It’s
Wan Wan calling for you.”
Gao Xin furrowed her eyebrows and said, “Why would she suddenly call me? If she needs something, doesn’t she usually go through Li Jie to contact you? It’s strange for her to call me directly.”
Xia Xin felt puzzled and thought, ‘Aren’t they both members of the same debut group? Their relationship should be good, so why did they seem unfamiliar with each other?’
Gao Xin answered the call with an indifferent tone, asking, “What’s up?
Wan Wan asked, “Are you currently filming the next episode?”
Gao Xin impatiently replied, “Yeah, what’s the matter?”
“I heard that the guest for this episode is Jing MO,” Wan Wan said.
Gao Xin was exasperated. “If you have something to say, just say it directly. We’re about to start filming.”
Wan Wan deliberately used a cutesy tone, “You’re always so impatient. I don’t have anything serious, just wanted to remind you. That Xia Xin is quite a troublemaker. You should keep your distance from her. Don’t end up being scolded and trending someday without realizing it.”
Gao Xin snorted, “Wan Wan, if you were only being scolded and trending because of your actions, I’d think you lack emotional intelligence at most. But the fact that you’re saying all this to me makes me believe you’re actually quite foolish.’
“You!” Wan Wan was furious, her voice becoming sharp. She was about to start yelling, but the call had already been hung up.
Wan Wan angrily tossed her phone onto the couch and said, “That infuriating Gao Xin! Just because she knows Jing MO and has a good entertainment company doesn’t mean she can be arrogant. She even dared to hang up on my call! ”
Li Jie listened from the sidelines, regretting his decision to become Wan Wan’s manager. He was certain that her emotional intelligence truly wasn’t suited for being an actress. If she ended up ruining herself someday, that was one thing, but he hoped she wouldn’t drag him down with her.
Wan Wan seemed dissatisfied with her current management company, complaining that she shouldn’t have signed the contract back then. She even thought if only she hadn’t agreed, they wouldn’t have brought her so much trouble.
Because the backstage was quiet, everyone could hear Gao Xin’s conversation with Wan Wan clearly. Xia Xin stood awkwardly to the side, not knowing what to say, just wanting to escape the scene, and said, “Maybe I should go to the set and see if there’s anything I can help with. You guys continue with your makeup..”
