Chapter 397: A Useful Mask

The man looked at the outstanding Qiao Yanjue beside Xia Xibei, a little surprised.

“This is...”

Qiao Yanjue stepped in front of Xia Xibei seamlessly, introducing himself, “h.e.l.lo, I’m Qiao Yanjue.”

“h.e.l.lo, I’m...” The man looked around carefully to make sure no one was nearby before whispering, “I’m Nie Zehai.”

“Nie Zehai?”

Qiao Yanjue frowned, then quickly remembered.

Nie Zehai—wasn’t he the actor that Xia Xibei had mentioned before?

But he couldn’t be!

Qiao Yanjue stared at Nie Zehai for a while before he asked in confusion. “You’re that Nie Zehai?”

This wasn’t even the same person!

The Nie Zehai on TV was handsome and elegant, while the Nie Zehai in front of him was very ordinary looking and could not be seen as handsome.

Xia Xibei nodded, “He is indeed the one you know.”

“This...”

Qiao Yanjue was shocked. What was this?!

“I’ll explain it to you later.”

Xia Xibei looked at Nie Zehai again and smiled.

“Congratulations, you’re famous now.”

These days, with the airing of “Legend of Qinghe,” Nie Zehai’s popularity had skyrocketed. His fans on the microblog grew by more than one million.

This speed made people envious.

However, when people were famous, it was difficult to go out.

Seeing how Nie Zehai looked today, you could see that it was not easy for him.

The face-changing mask was made by Xia Xibei, and she remembered it, otherwise, she wouldn’t have recognized him either.

“Yeah, I exploded.”

Nie Zehai’s expression was a bit dazed.

These days, he was a bit overwhelmed by his skyrocketing popularity.

He had been in this circle for so long that he didn’t have much of an obsession with fame anymore, just wanting to act.

But he didn’t expect that this show, which he didn’t have much hope for, would be a hit!

Oh, rather, he should say, the show did not become famous. Only his character became famous.

This kind of thing happened from time to time in the entertainment industry, and he was just in time for it.

These days, he’d been given a lot more interviews than before, and taken on a lot more work. It felt like his feet hadn’t even landed on the ground yet.

However, with more fame, there were benefits as well as problems.

Lately, he had run into a lot of fans when he went out. People were so enthusiastic that he couldn’t even go out as before.

Luckily, Xia Xibei gave him a mask for when it was necessary to go out, using it to avoid the crazy fans and reporters.

When he put on the mask and changed clothes, he was like a different person, able to move as freely as before.

“Thank you for the mask. Otherwise, I would have a headache now.”

Xia Xibei laughed, “You’re welcome. You paid for it too.”

“I still have to thank you!”

After he put on the mask, he really felt the comfort and convenience of the mask.

A few thousand yuan for a mask? It was worth it!

“I’m still making new masks. I’ll bring them to you then.” Xia Xibei teased, “I’m just afraid that when I visit you, you’ll have a beautiful girl in your room.”

“How can it be?” Nie Zehai also smiled. “Just give me a call when the time comes.”

“OK.”

Feeling Qiao Yanjue’s fierce gaze, Nie Zehai hurriedly ended the conversation.

“My friend is waiting for me, let’s talk more next time.”

“Okay, let’s talk next time,” Xia Xibei waved a hand at him.

“Goodbye, Mr. Qiao.” Nie Zehai squeezed out a polite smile for Qiao Yanjue.

“Bye.”

After sending Nie Zehai away, Qiao Yanjue stared at Xia Xibei for a while before saying, “I haven’t slept well these past few days, and I’m so tired now.”
