“Erm…” Xiang Yi licked his dry lips and said, “Mrs. Ji, I, I’ve always dreamed of acting. I’ve always hoped to stand under the spotlight and perform different roles, but…” He smiled bitterly. His speech finally became smoother. “But as you can see, there’s a gap between dreams and reality. I can only take on some small group roles now. Sometimes, I envy Han Yin…”

Xiang Yi looked sad when he said that. He looked at Han Yin, who was filming, as he said softly, “She got the role of the second female lead in her first movie. That is something that many people don’t even dare to dream about. I hope that one day I can also play the lead role and not be a small supporting role that doesn’t even have many lines.”

Shen Hanxing was confused as she wondered, “Could it be that I looked like a bosom friend? Why does a stranger come to me and talk about his dream? How should I answer this?”

“Then…” Shen Hanxing, who had never encountered such a thing, hesitated and said, “Work hard, and your dream will come true sooner or later?” There was nothing she could do. She could only give some encouragement to the young man who was pursuing his dream.

Xiang Yi’s expression was strange for a moment. He chuckled. “Mrs. Ji, you’re humorous.”

Shen Hanxing was speechless. “I’m encouraging you.”

“Why do you have to pretend to be ignorant when you know what’s going on?” Xiang Yi’s expression was a little displeased. He gritted his teeth and took out a rectangular card-shaped object as if he was betting everything on it. He wanted to place it on Shen Hanxing’s chest. However, when he met Shen Hanxing’s clear eyes, he felt a little scared. In the end, he obediently moved his finger and placed it on the table next to Shen Hanxing’s hand. He said in a low voice, “Sister, I don’t want to work hard anymore.”

Shen Hanxing was dumbfounded. If she didn’t guess wrongly, this person had delivered himself to her door and wanted her to take him as her lover to get a better role in the next movie. She had long heard that the entertainment industry was chaotic. She didn’t expect… she would experience it herself. Shen Hanxing didn’t know how to react. She handed the room card back. “Sorry, I’m not interested.”

“Sister, don’t you like me?” Xiang Yi looked at Shen Hanxing, a little disappointed and embarra.s.sed. “I, I’ll wait for you at the hotel. See you later.” After saying that, he turned around and ran.

Shen Hanxing held the room card as if she was holding something she disliked. Under everyone’s gaze, she could not chase after Xiang Yi to return the room card. She could only put the room card into her pocket first. Forget it. Xiang Yi would know what she meant if she didn’t go.

“Is the life of a rich person always so decadent?” At this moment, a chuckle came from behind Shen Hanxing.

She turned around and saw the corner of Xiao Yu’s mouth curling up as he looked at her mockingly. It was apparent that he had seen the scene just now. Shen Hanxing was helpless. “I didn’t expect it either…” She shrugged. “It’s the first time I’ve encountered such a thing. I’m inexperienced.”

“You’ll have experience in the future.” Xiao Yu chuckled. His gaze pa.s.sed through the crowd and landed on Xiang Yi. After looking at him for a while, he laughed again. “Why is he calling you sister? He is older than you.”

“Wow, you’re amazing. You can tell his age with just a glance?” Shen Hanxing quipped as she looked at Xiao Yu teasingly. “I’m impressed.”

“Isn’t it obvious?” Xiao Yu pouted. “He is so old, yet he calls you sister. He isn’t good at judging age.”

“Do you mean it’s fine if he is younger than me?” The smile in Shen Hanxing’s eyes deepened as she looked at Xiao Yu from afar. “I didn’t expect you like someone younger than you.”

“What? There aren’t many people who would like me,” Xiao Yu laughed self-deprecatingly. When he saw Shen Hanxing’s beautiful smile, his eyes were filled with complicated emotions. That was the production team. The entertainment circle was famous for being filled with beauties and handsome guys. Even if Zheng Youcai’s production team did not have any celebrities because they were not famous, the people here were not low in terms of looks. However, when Shen Hanxing sat here casually, there was a casual elegance and extremely eye-catching style in her bones. It was as if the entire world was black and white, and she was the only one with color.

Xiao Yu did not dare to look at Shen Hanxing. He lowered his head and said in a hoa.r.s.e voice, “He wouldn’t stand a chance even if he is younger than you.”

“What?” Shen Hanxing did not hear Xiao Yu. She leaned forward slightly and looked at him with a smile. “What are you muttering to yourself?”
