Chapter 162: Exquisite
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Personally, Chen Che had no choice but to face the reality of forming a separate group from Lin Xi.
This was Tianxing’s request.
However, how could they maintain close interaction in public when they were in different groups? It was even better than before.
“By the way, where is Little Xi?”
Zhao Chao suddenly asked when he brought Chen Che to see the guest. Chen Che looked around. “Sit over there.”
Zhao Chao gestured for Chen Che to go look for Lin Xi. “Hurry up and call her along.”
Chen Che nodded and walked towards Lin Xi. “Brother Chao is bringing me to meet the guests. Do you want to come?”
Lin Xi was about to agree when Brother Liu glared at Chen Che, as if he wanted to say something.
Chen Che frowned at Brother Liu. “Stop fooling around. It’s not good.”
Brother Liu’s eyes flickered. “Then I’ll thank Brother Chao first for still thinking about our Little Xi. It’ll save me the trouble of pretending to be familiar and taking her there. She’s too embarrassed herself. Brother Chao will take care of her.”
Before she could finish speaking, Chen Che went forward in frustration and grabbed Lin Xi’s hand roughly before leaving.
“You!”
Brother Liu gritted his teeth in anger. The surrounding people looked at them.
Lin Xi pursed her lips and smiled. She let Chen Che drag her and even turned to look at Brother Liu.
Brother Liu frowned as he watched Chen Che drag Lin Xi and meet up with Zhao Chao. When Zhao Chao looked over curiously, Brother Liu forced a smile.
“Just come over earlier.”
Chen Che looked at Lin Xi unhappily. “Why did you have to wait until I heard those ugly words?”
Lin Xi glanced at him with her big eyes and didn’t say anything.
Zhao Chao chuckled and roughly guessed what had just happened.
“Alright.” Zhao Chao gestured to Chen Che. “Are men always complaining? Or are you complaining to girls?”
Chen Che was surprised. “Brother Chao, where are you from? Didn’t you say that you would help me ostracize her?”
“Hehe!” Lin Xi snorted.
“Yes.” Zhao Chao pretended to be mysterious and nodded. “Yesterday, Little Xi and I discussed to ostracize you together.”
With that, he patted Lin Xi’s shoulder. “Let’s go, Little Xi. Let’s meet those guests. After all, there are many people you don’t know, right?”
Lin Xi stood up. “I basically don’t know them. I’ve heard of some names, but
I’ve never been introduced to them before.”
As she spoke, she let Chen Che stand there in a daze.
“Hello, Sister Caiyi!”
“Hi, Mingxun.”
There were more guests in this episode than in the previous episode. There were a total of five: Jiang Caiyi, Liang Chongwei, Ren Feifei, Wu Mingxun, and the Nation’s Daughter, Jiao Xiaofu.
“Hello, you are…?”
“Chen Che! New actor.”
Chen Che greeted them warmly. After all, the other party did not know him.
Zhao Chao helped introduce her. Jiang Caiyi was also one of the Xiangjiang movie stars that Chen Che had watched grow up. He had always liked Xiangjiang movies, especially the original Cantonese soundtrack.
“Chen Che?” Jiang Caiyi asked in confusion.
Chen Che nodded. “That’s right.”
When Jiang Caiyi saw Lin Xi, she suddenly smiled and said, “You know this young lady. She’s very beautiful.”
Lin Xi replied politely, “Thank you for your compliments, Sister Caiyi.”
Jiang Caiyi then asked Chen Che, “Are you a guest too?”
Zhao Chao answered first, “He and Little Xi are both fixed members… although Chen Che is temporary.”
Wu Mingxun sized up Chen Che curiously. Although he had just greeted him, he really did not recognize this new face.
Chen Che saw his confusion, but he did not take the initiative to say his thoughts.
Jiang Caiyi asked in surprise, “Since there are fixed members, why is he temporary?”
Chen Che smiled and said, “Because I still have to work hard to perform. Moreover, I’m Sister Caiyi’s fan.”
Jiang Caiyi thanked her with a smile, but Zhao Chao interrupted, “This is just a ploy. Sister Caiyi, you don’t have to take it seriously.”
Jiang Caiyi smiled amiably. “Why do you say that?
Cantonese was a habit that followed him like a shadow. Even if the people of Sujiang spoke normal Mandarin, they still had a strong local charm.
Lin Xi’s gaze was fixed on Chen Che’s response, but Chen Che looked at Zhao Chao and said emotionally, “It’s true. I don’t dare to say everything, but I’ve watched most of the movies.”
Zhao Chao nodded. “Then tell me how many.”
Chen Che smiled until his eyes curved. “It’s useless to test me. The ’Distant Ah Fei Chuan1 and the slightly newer release ’Zetian Empire’.”
“Especially in ‘Zetian Empire’, Empress Caiyi’s aura is extremely powerful. Those two eyebrows are really…” Chen Che clapped his hands enthusiastically.
“Oh?” Jiang Caiyi looked at Zhao Chao and smiled. “He has really watched it.”
Chen Che leaned over. “I think she even won the award for this role, right? Based on what I had remembered.”
Jiang Caiyi smiled and nodded.
Zhao Chao asked in confusion, “Are you sure you’ve watched it?”
Chen Che looked surprised. “I’ve already said so much, but you still don’t believe me?”
Zhao Chao looked at Chen Che and then at Jiang Caiyi. “I can tell at a glance that it’s memorized.”
Zhao Chao pointed at himself. “I’ve also acted in a character in it before. Don’t you know? You even said that you’ve watched it?”
The group of people could not help but laugh. Lin Xi kept staring at Chen Che.
Chen Che said calmly, “Then have you seen all the scenes I’ve acted in, Brother Chao? Do you remember even the scenes I’ve worked with you?”
Zhao Chao’s tone froze.
Chen Che smiled and nodded. “As a supporting role, you have to be aware and face reality.”
Chen Che spread his hands. “Look at how good my mentality is. You can’t ask so much of others. I’m too embarrassed to say that I don’t remember anything.”
Zhao Chao scolded jokingly, “You’ve already said it, okay?” Chen Che chuckled, and the surrounding people could not help but laugh.
Everyone started chatting. The scene that was like a stray bullet flying was quite exciting. Unfortunately, the scenes were too short.
‘The Distant Ah Fei’ was pretty good, especially the classic line “Don’t like me”. A woman’s unruliness, infatuation, and pleasure were displayed to the extreme by her.
Lin Xi sat by him silently and didn’t say much. She just sat quietly at the side.
She listened to Chen Che’s chatter, but she did not feel uneasy at all.
On the contrary, the entire atmosphere made her feel comfortable and natural.
Chen Che asked enthusiastically, “Brother Chongwei, your character in ‘Hidden Sniper’ is really exciting! Did you win any awards?”
Then, he turned to another actress. “Sister Feifei, your ‘I Marry an Anti-fan’ is also very interesting. That’s a Chinese-Korean co-production, right?”
Then, Chen Che began to greet the others one by one.
Under Zhao Chao’s guidance, he could easily talk to many people he was not familiar with.
Zhao Chao was very surprised. When Chen Che talked about the movie, it was as if he had really seen it with his own eyes.
Chen Che and the guest, Liang Chongwei, chatted for a long time about his character in “Hidden Sniper”.
He did not talk about the recent scenes. Instead, he focused on the outstanding characters.
Similarly, he quickly chatted with Wu Mingxun, who was about the same age, even though he was not too familiar with the other party’s work.
Zhao Chao giggled as he admired the scene of Chen Che debating with them.
Lin Xi, on the other hand, felt that all of this was amazing.
She listened to Chen Che in silence and rarely interrupted.
This atmosphere was not coincidental, but intentional.
First of all, Chen Che had come alone. Although people would not ignore him, they might not be so enthusiastic.
Not because of his status and popularity, but because they were really not familiar with each other..
