Chapter 139: Movie Promotion
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“Does the wound still hurt?”
The cool sensation reminded Chen Che that it had begun.
Luo Heng and the others came over to check on Chen Che.
“It’s bleeding again.” Zhao Chao frowned.
Jin Song said, “There’s nothing we can do about that. The doctor already said to rest and recuperate. You’re still being active, I think your injuries will be even more serious later.”
“How did you get injured? From filming?” Zhao Ting was curious.
Chen Che smiled and said, “Sword Tiger will be a production that will sweep the box office!”
Zhao Ting stepped back. “I’m scared.”
Everyone laughed.
The director called for a meeting. Seeing that Chen Che was applying medicine and Lin Xi was helping, he did not call for them.
Lin Xi’s manager, Brother Liu, watched from the side.
The audience also came over to show their concern.
Lin Xi was focused on removing the gauze and gently applying ointment. She was gentle, docile, and virtuous.
“I told you Little Xi wouldn’t ignore it.”
“They do look close, don’t they?”
“You’re despicable. You avoid being cold and uncomfortable.”
“What’s the situation?”
“Did you get together in real life?”
In just half a day, Chen Che’s outgoing, cheerful, humorous, and easy-going attitude rubbed off on everyone and they quickly became familiar with each other.
They all started to jeer. It was useless even if the manager was beside them.
“Do you think it’s flirtatious?”
Chen Che calmly looked at the jeering audience. More and more people came.
“Chen Che and Lin Xi are an item?” There were discussions.
“Lin Xi brought Chen Che into the production team after she became famous?” the bespectacled man asked curiously.
Chen Che was helpless, but he did not have any ill intentions.
“Heh.” Lin Xi chuckled and carefully applied the medicine.
“They’re from different companies,” Brother Liu replied with a smile, but the audience ignored him.
Chen Che repeated, “We’re from different companies.”
As expected, the audience’s discussion was even more enthusiastic.
“Really?”
“Are you guys together?”
“Budding romance from being in the show together?”
They all guessed.
“Hey, we’ve only known each other for one episode.” Chen Che glared. “Falling in love so quickly? We’re not that casual, okay?”
There was a roar of laughter and the audience gathered.
“Actually, it’s impossible when you think about it, right?” Chen Che said. “Lin Xi is so popular and young. The company won’t agree to her dating now.”
After gesturing to Brother Liu, Chen Che said, “Her manager is here. It’s too disrespectful for you to say this.”
Brother Liu nodded. The audience only looked at Chen Che.
Chen Che spread his hands. “The reason is tight, right?”
Everyone laughed.
Slap! A crisp sound came from Chen Che’s back.
Chen Che turned around. Lin Xi calmly applied the medicine, as if she had not done anything.
“Isn’t she your beloved beauty?” the audience asked.
Everyone looked at Chen Che.
Chen Che explained, “Little Xi’s original name is composed of her parents’ surnames. When she was young, she lived in the Shao clan’s territory. There’s a Shao clan language there that translates her name as ‘beloved beauty’.”
Everyone was enlightened.
“Why are you the only one shouting?” another person asked.
‘Well …’
Chen Che was stunned and pondered.
After pondering for a long time… he was speechless.
Everyone laughed non-stop, and there were even more onlookers.
As everyone teased, Lin Xi chuckled as she applied the medicine. “Everyone, you’ve misunderstood. Chen Che cares a lot about his image.”
Chen Che glared at her. “Don’t speak. Apply the medicine properly.”
Lin Xi giggled as if no one was around.
Someone asked her what her name meant. She nodded in response, but her gaze landed on Chen Che with a smile. “Are you explaining in such detail because you’re afraid of being misunderstood and having a scandal?”
Everyone sensed that the atmosphere seemed to be a little strange.
Chen Che retorted, “What’s there to be afraid of?”
Lin Xi looked at everyone. “You don’t know, right? He was injured in order to save me. I applied medicine on him, but he begged me for a long time. I’m really impatient.”
“Oh, oh!”
The surrounding audience hooted.
Chen Che waved his hand helplessly. “Isn’t this…”
He took a deep breath. “She’s a popular celebrity. I don’t want others to say that
I’m trying to ride on her coat tails…”
Lin Xi smiled and said, “We can’t talk about this at all, right?”
She looked at everyone. “You’re thinking too much. Perhaps you’ve rested for too long and are not used to coming back?”
“Is that enough for you?”
Chen Che glared at her. Lin Xi smiled and did not say anything as she continued to apply the medicine on him.
Chen Che turned around and looked at everyone. He suggested to Lin Xi, “How about we not bring our manager and fight one-on-one?”
“Haha!

“Oh, oh!”
“Chen Che, aren’t you embarrassed?”
The audience laughed.
Lin Xi nodded. “That’s right. Aren’t you embarrassed?”
Chen Che said, “Consider this a favor for falling from the giraffe and onto me.”
“A favor… Hehe.”
Lin Xi smiled and gestured for him to turn around and let her apply the medicine.
Chen Che pointed at her and said to everyone, “Women. This is what it means to be a woman. When you beg someone, you’re charming. After you succeed, you start to mock them.”
Lin Xi smiled until her eyes curved into crescents, and her lips trembled.
A female audience member said, “Brother Chen Che, can I ask you a question? Don’t misunderstand. I’m just curious.”
“Ask away.” Chen Che nodded.
The female audience asked, “The production team is all big celebrities. Why did you join? Whether it’s the past members or the recent ones, they at least have a representative work.”
However, Chen Che, you’re funny and have a dignified appearance, but very few people know about you. How were you able to join the show?”
“Come, come, let’s shake hands!”
Chen Che clapped and cheered as he reached out.
The female audience smiled knowingly and shook his hand.
“I’m really grateful to you for asking this question!” Chen Che looked at her.
“How about I bow to you?” Looking around, Chen Che wanted to get up.
“Haha.”
The female audience covered their faces and laughed uncontrollably, but they quickly avoided it.
Lin Xi also hurriedly glared at him and tugged at his clothes to make him sit back down.
“First of all…”
Chen Che said, “For the latest season, we have to keep up with the times, right?
Aren’t we paying attention to the combination of celebrities and commoners when making shows these days?”
Before he could finish speaking, the other audience members did not speak.
“Didn’t you want to promote Sword Tiger? What kind of ordinary person are you?” Lin Xi leaned forward and interrupted.
“But Sword Tiger’s screening ended after this season. Now, I’m still considered…” Chen Che turned around.
“No.” Chen Che simply turned around and looked at Lin Xi. “Why have you been targeting me?”
He asked Lin Xi curiously, “I’m not Luo Heng. Do you really want him to save you?”
“Haha!” The audience laughed.
However, Lin Xi stared at Chen Che with wide eyes and an expressionless face.
“Silly.”
Chen Che stopped looking at her and turned to point at Lin Xi. He said to the audience, “It’s good that you like her. At least she’s pure and kind and hasn’t been corrupted by the entertainment industry.”
“Hahaha!

“Yo, yo!”
“l
Our Little Xi is the best!
II
The audience burst into laughter and cheers.
Lin Xi smiled with a red face.
“What’s a Sword Tiger? A movie?”
When the atmosphere calmed down a little, someone began to ask.
Chen Che retracted his smile and replied, “Sword Tiger is a movie filmed by Director Zhou Xing. I’m participating in one of the supporting roles. It will be released in July. Joining the production team is also to promote this movie in advance.”
“So the main character is that Leng Feng?” Everyone seemed to have woken up from a dream as the bespectacled man asked curiously.
Chen Che smiled and asked, “Have you seen the first episode of Sword Tiger?”
The audience responded, even though there were not many people in the first movie. This tough-guy-action-style movie was not suitable for couples to enjoy.
“This is an absolute blockbuster!” Chen Che said confidently.
He pointed at his back. “This scar was left behind by the explosion scene during the filming this morning. Look carefully, there are also burns. This has nothing to do with Lin Xi..”
