However, Ye Cong fulfilled his promise and spent the whole night with Xin Ya. There were some technical terms that even he did not understand himself, what more this little girl?
Gu Juexi was indeed a lunatic.
They memorized the script until three in the morning. Xin Ya lay sprawled on the table as she slept. Even when she was asleep, she was mumbling the lines that she had just memorized.
Ye Cong found it very refreshing. He did not understand how a person could be so dumb. Like Ye Yuwei, no matter what they learned when they were young, they could remember it at a single glance.
Yet, these few lines took her forever. She could remember the lines and forget them in the next second.
How had such a creature survived this world?
This was a brand new experience for Ye Cong. It felt so intriguing that he was convinced there was more to this woman that he could dig up.
Ye Cong sat next to Xin Ya. The heater in the room was on. He had to force Xin Ya to turn on the heater since she was afraid of wasting electricity. However, he was not concerned that she might freeze.
The little girl was fair and clean. When she fell asleep, her bright eyes finally sank into silence. Ye Cong reached out and silently caressed Xin Ya’s face. She did not possess the kind of beauty that could capture one’s eyes at first glance but she won at life with this pair of eyes. Otherwise, Gu Juexi would not have chosen her for the role.
“Master Ding, I’m sorry—” Xin Ya was still apologizing in her sleep.
Ye Cong abruptly withdrew his hand and sneered coldly at the woman in front of him. Thankfully, she knew her place and understood that that Junqi liked Le Tian.
When Xin Ya woke up, Sis Cat had already arrived and was preparing breakfast for her.
Xin Ya slept in a bad posture and now, her entire body was aching. Her brain was still a little fuzzy.
“Are you awake? How are you asleep here?” Sis Cat came out with soy milk and fried dough sticks. Based on her understanding of Xin Ya, she knew Xin Ya must have been memorizing her lines overnight.
She had taken care of many artists before, and there were many who were hardworking. However, this was the first time she had seen someone as hardworking as Xin Ya.
Especially a little girl who exuded such pureness.
When she took over Xin Ya’s care, Gu Juexi had specifically told her that she was the only one who did not need to attend social events.
Sis Cat understood that some actors nowadays did not require any arrangements from their managers to secure assignments. Meanwhile, a girl like Xin Ya would have been destroyed by the cannibalistic showbiz industry if she had no one to protect her.
She could only say that Xin Ya was extremely lucky to have Gu Juexi as her escort the moment she debuted.
“I wanted to memorize my lines and I accidentally fell asleep.” Xin Ya smiled rather shyly. She was not worried that Ye Cong might still be there. After all, the man was quite accustomed to coming and leaving whenever he pleased.
Sis Cat nodded, satisfied with Xin Ya’s effort. “Hurry up and eat. We’ll go to the set earlier today.”
Xin Ya nodded and went to the bathroom to wash up.
After Xin Ya entered the bathroom, Sis Cat posted a status update on Weibo.
[The heavens reward the diligent. Our upcoming diva.]
Accompanied by the lines was a picture of Xin Ya’s side profile as she slept with her face down on the table. Under her cheek was the script filled with notes written in handwriting that resembled tadpoles. To fulfill their confidentiality agreement, the script’s lines were all pixelized for censorship’s sake.
However, that did not hide the fact that the girl fell asleep from memorizing the script.
Xin Ya might not be considered a conventional beauty, but Sis Cat’s photography skills were top-notch, and Xin Ya’s side profile was indeed attractive.
After Sis Cat posted the update, Gu Film Studio’s official Weibo reposted it with a heart.
Ding Junqi put down his phone during his breakfast. “That’s why people shouldn’t harbor ill intentions. Xin Ya’s future will now be a bed of roses all thanks to Ye Yuwei’s protection.”
