Chapter 1170: Chapter 1167
Lying on the ground, Bi Xia suddenly opened her eyes. Waves stirred within her starry eyes, flickering shades of blue, and the red inside them grew more intense.
Bi Xia was unaware of the changes happening in her pupils, and since ordinary people couldn’t see spiritual power, she wasn’t worried about being discovered. The heat in her pupils made her frown, and the emptiness in her heart made her feel uneasy.
She suddenly sat up, feeling better with the sensation of gravity after sitting up. Just as she was about to ask 007 what was happening, the sound of a loudspeaker echoed, much gentler compared to Xu Renfei’s earlier shouting.
Xu Renfei: ...
"Bi Xia, why did you suddenly sit up?" Director Zhang asked, holding the loudspeaker. He was always exceptionally patient with promising talents, especially since they were just getting ready and hadn’t started shooting yet, so he had no reason to get angry. "Are you feeling unwell?"
Bi Xia waved her hand in Director Zhang’s direction, indicating she was fine, then pretended to shake her head as if she was suffering from heatstroke. Just as she was about to lie back down, a young lady rushed over with a bottle of mineral water. "Your Majesty, Director Zhang asked me to bring this to you. Drink some; it’s too hot now, and you’re wearing so much, you might get heatstroke."
Seeing the young lady’s flushed cheeks and sweaty forehead, Bi Xia took the water, drank a big gulp, and handed it back to her. "Thanks, but next time don’t come over. It’s too hot; if I’m going to get heatstroke, so will you."
Hearing Bi Xia’s words, the young lady’s eyes widened, and then she nodded excitedly, turning around and awkwardly scurried back under the large parasol, like an obedient fan who listened well.
Bi Xia chuckled softly, feeling the emptiness inside alleviated a bit, made an OK gesture to Director Zhang, and then lay back down.
"Little Nine, if you’re not feeling well, you should say so. Don’t tough it out, you hear?" Director Zhang said gently to Bi Xia, then turned to Xu Renfei, who was pulling at his collar and fanning himself, yelling, "Still fanning? Still fanning? Is it really that hot? Learn from Little Nine; that’s what true professionalism looks like!"
"..." Xu Renfei froze, looking at Bi Xia’s gloating face, and then, excitedly retorted, "Uncle Zhang, you can’t be so biased! Wearing so much in the hot summer, do you think I’m hot or not?"
Luo Hao, standing next to Director Zhang, heard Xu Renfei’s words and calmly took a step back, silently plugging his ears and counting in his heart —
One...
Two...
Three...
"So what if I am biased! You know it’s the middle of summer, yet you insist on a winter scene. What does that make you? Does it hurt to get what you asked for? And you still dare to talk back, kid, do you need a lesson?!?!"
Director Zhang’s furious anger erupted instantly. The prepared people stayed calm, while the unprepared ones were stunned. Luo Hao was clearly among the prepared, calmly imagining that Uncle Zhang was famous for his quick temper. When he got angry, all you could do was take it, or face an even bigger storm. Clearly, Little Fei hadn’t grasped the essence of working with Uncle Zhang yet... he still needed more practice.
Bi Xia was rubbing her ears, clearly one of the unprepared.
Good heavens, the decibel level could break a Guinness record! Thinking this, she looked sympathetically at Xu Renfei, wondering if the kid was a fool. Knowing full well that Director Zhang was a fire-breathing dragon, why provoke him? Didn’t he know that for a dragon, breathing fire was just one disagreement away~
Thinking this, Bi Xia sprawled comfortably on the ground inside the ancient pavilion, turning slightly on her side. As she cursed lightly to herself, she enjoyed the coolness and shade in the pavilion outside the sun, feeling quite comfortable.
Xu Renfei: ...I actually thought this guy was a sleeping beauty; I must be blind!
