However, noticing Jia Jingwen's ingratiating smile, Gao Yuanyuan tugged at Ji Qingxu beside her and asked with a smile, "Qingxu, have you seen Jingwen?"

Seeing the somewhat comical smile on Gao Yuanyuan's face, Ji Qingxu chuckled and said, "I've seen it before."

Upon hearing this, Alyssa Chia asked curiously, "Have you seen me before?"

"Yes, I met Sister Jingwen a few years ago."

Upon hearing this, Jia Jingwen stared at Ji Qingxu for a while, then said uncertainly, "I feel like I've seen you somewhere before, but I can't quite remember..."

Noticing Gao Yuanyuan covering her mouth and snickering, Jia Jingwen grabbed Gao Yuanyuan's arm and scolded, "Yuanyuan, what are you laughing at?"

Gao Yuanyuan laughed and said, "I'll give you a hint: The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber."

"The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber?"

Upon hearing this name, Jia Jingwen stared at Ji Qingxu for a moment, seemingly lost in thought, and said, "Qingxu, haven't you been to the set of 'The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber'?"

Before Ji Qingxu could speak, Gao Yuanyuan immediately asked, "Where exactly?"

"Forehead..."

After glancing at Gao Yuanyuan, Jia Jingwen thought for a moment and then suddenly realized, "I remember now, the scene at Wan'an Pagoda Temple at Beijing Film Studio, right? We even talked about it back then, wondering where the crew found such handsome extras?"

Ji Qingxu replied with a smile, "Sister Jingwen has a good memory. I was an extra in your film crew back then."

Upon hearing this, Alyssa Chia couldn't help but give a thumbs up, "You're really amazing."

Seeing Ji Qingxu's surprise, Jia Jingwen said with a smile, "Your Yuanyuan said that you've already played the male lead in several dramas before you even finished your sophomore year. Aren't you amazing?"

Upon hearing this, Ji Qingxu smiled and said, "It's alright, just average."

Seeing Jia Jingwen's lips twitch, Gao Yuanyuan laughed and said, "Is he being too smug?"

"Heh, if I were as good as him, I'd be even more cocky than him."

At this point, Ada Choi's expression became somewhat ambiguous, "Qingxu, let me ask you a question, were you in '..."

"Did the production team of 'The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber' take a liking to Yuanyuan?"

"Jingwen!"

Seeing that Gao Yuanyuan had scolded Jia Jingwen but her eyes were fixed on him, Ji Qingxu smiled and said, "Yes, actually I was quite disappointed at the time. I had the opportunity to work with you."

Upon hearing this, both women showed expressions of surprise.

Ji Qingxu smiled and recounted his audition for "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber," and the two women suddenly understood.

"No wonder Director Sei said he felt like he'd seen you before."

"I was interviewed by another assistant director on the set. Director Sei probably saw my photo before."

"You two are truly destined to meet. Even though you had already missed each other, you met again two years later. Isn't this a case of fate bringing you together from afar?"

Ji Qingxu smiled and grabbed Gao Yuanyuan's hand, saying, "Yes, Yuanyuan and I are destined for each other."

Upon hearing this, Gao Yuanyuan's face immediately turned bright red. "Who said we're destined to be together!"

"Me!"

"Ugh, let's go, let's go. You two are too mushy, I can't stand it."

Watching Jia Jingwen rub her arms and walk away with a look of disgust, Ji Qingxu and Gao Yuanyuan exchanged a smile.

After resting for more than an hour, it was noon.

The crew announced that they would have lunch and rest for a while before resuming filming in the afternoon.

Ji Qingxu took the lunchbox Gao Yuanyuan handed him, opened it, looked at it, and said with a smile, "The food is pretty good."

Upon hearing this, Gao Yuanyuan covered her mouth and whispered, "The food in this show is much better than in 'The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber,' and Director Lai has more power in this show."

Upon hearing this, Ji Qingxu immediately understood, "Then it seems that filming this drama was easier for you than filming 'The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber'?"

""

"Yes, it's much easier now. At least I don't have to get up at dawn every day or stay up until midnight every day, and the food is much better too."

"Looks like Director Se has finally made it big."

Gao Yuanyuan covered her mouth and laughed, "Keep your voice down, Director Sei is already quite famous."

"Yes, it's not small."

"Hey, is one serving enough for you?"

"It's okay, I'll save my room for Director Seto's big meal tonight."

Hearing this, Gao Yuanyuan said with concern, "Then you should drink less tonight."

Ji Qingxu smiled and raised an eyebrow. "Don't worry, it won't affect my performance."

Seeing the mischievous grin on Ji Qingxu's face, Gao Yuanyuan couldn't help but punch him lightly. "You bad guy, all you ever think about is doing bad things."

"Doesn't Sister Yuanyuan want to?"

Seeing Gao Yuanyuan give him a reproachful look with a flushed face before lowering her head to eat her boxed lunch and ignoring him, Ji Qingxu chuckled and started eating heartily as well.

"Action!"

"Jiancheng, I..."

""

Looking at He Rundong, Yan Kuan, and Gao Yuanyuan performing in the arena, a strange light flashed in Ji Qingxu's eyes.

You really can't take all the news online seriously.

Yan Kuan was known as one of the "Four Beauties of Tianya" in her previous life.

However, in Ji Qingxu's opinion, he was far inferior to He Rundong.

Putting aside acting skills, just looking at their appearances, He Rundong and Ji Qingxu are about the same height, both over 180cm, while Yan Kuan is only around 170cm. When the two stand together, He Rundong completely outshines Yan Kuan. Moreover, Yan Kuan's physique is too poor, with a large head and narrow shoulders, only slightly better than 55cm.

As for Ho Yun-tung's physique, if we disregard his face and only look at his physique, there are few male celebrities in the entertainment industry who can surpass him.

If you only look at their faces, Yan Kuan is a bit more handsome than He Rundong, but overall, He Rundong is much better than Yan Kuan.

Unless a film or television drama only shoots close-ups, Yan Kuan's figure is a major flaw.

Sure enough, there's a reason why some people aren't famous. Although this was the first time Ji Qingxu had seen Yan Kuan in person, just by looking at his overall appearance, Ji Qingxu felt that it would be difficult for him to become famous. There might be other factors involved, but Ji Qingxu felt that his physique was his biggest weakness.

Ji Qingxu glanced at He Rundong beside him, and his expression became a little strange. If the two of them had swapped bodies, Yan Kuan's acting career would definitely be very different.

While Ji Qingxu was observing the film set, someone else was also observing him from a distance.

After carefully examining Ji Qingxu's face and figure, Jia Jingwen subconsciously looked at the female lead and two male leads who were performing in the audience.

"Ten-minute break, then get ready for the next round."

Upon hearing this, Gao Yuanyuan quickly scanned her surroundings, a hint of doubt appearing on her face.

"What are you looking for?"

Seeing Jia Jingwen approaching with a mischievous grin, Gao Yuanyuan asked in confusion, "Where's Qingxu?"

He said he was going out for a walk and asked me to tell you.

"Cut!"

Upon hearing this, Gao Yuanyuan nodded, picked up her teacup, and took a sip of water.

"I've figured out why you like him so much."

Gao Yuanyuan said irritably, "What have you discovered this time?"

Ada Choi leaned closer and asked, "Isn't your husband in great shape?"

Gao Yuanyuan retorted playfully, "So you knew all along?"

Jia Jingwen said confidently, "Of course, I made a point of observing him when he came, standing with He Rundong and Yan Kuan. You're just lusting after his body."

Hearing this, Gao Yuanyuan slapped Jia Jingwen in embarrassment and annoyance, "Don't talk nonsense, who's lusting after his body?"

"Hmph, you still want to hide it from me? I have to say, your guy really is like a cartoon character."

"It's getting more and more outrageous."

"Really, your partner is over 1.8 meters tall, right?"

"Um, I'm around 183cm."

"While his looks aren't earth-shatteringly handsome, they still surpass most people. To put it another way, I'll give you an analogy: He Rundong's physique combined with Yan Kuan's face."

"6

'

Seeing Gao Yuanyuan's stunned expression, Jia Jingwen whispered, "Isn't it obvious?"

Gao Yuanyuan retorted instinctively, "He's more handsome than Yan Kuan."

"Okay, okay, he's more handsome than him. I was just giving an example. Hey, tell me, isn't he in great shape? Does he have chest muscles, abs, and stuff like that?"

Thinking of Ji Qingxu's sharply defined, sculpted figure, Gao Yuanyuan felt her cheeks flush.

Suddenly, a face appeared in front of her, and Gao Yuanyuan was startled. "What are you doing? You scared me to death!"

Jia Jingwen snorted, "I'm scary? You're practically drooling, looking like a lovesick fool."

"Who, who's drooling? Don't talk nonsense."

"Why don't you look in the mirror yourself?"

I can't be bothered with you.

"But I'm quite envious of you. You're handsome, have a great physique, and are a college student. If it were me, I wouldn't want to give you up either."

"Is your partner not good enough?"

Upon hearing this, Ada Choi's expression froze for a moment, then she smiled nonchalantly, "He's alright, but in terms of looks, he definitely can't compare to your man."

Seeing the unusual look on Jia Jingwen's face, Gao Yuanyuan paused for a moment and didn't say anything more.

"My goodness, how heavy is yours? I'm exhausted."

"You've worked hard, Jingwen. You should go home and rest early, it's getting late."

"Fine, you're crossing the river and then burning the bridge, aren't you? You're letting me leave without even giving me a sip of water."

Gao Yuanyuan retorted, "That's not what I meant. I meant you've sweated so much, you should go back and take a shower to feel better. Do you want some water? I'll go get it for you."

Seeing that Gao Yuanyuan was standing still after speaking, Jia Jingwen raised an eyebrow and said, "Go get it. Why are you looking at me?"

'

Gao Yuanyuan glanced at her with amusement, turned around and walked outside. Jia Jingwen glanced at Ji Qingxu lying on the bed and followed her out.

Seeing Jia Jingwen follow her out, Gao Yuanyuan handed her water and asked curiously, "Is something wrong?"

"

With a strange expression, Ada Choi leaned closer and whispered, "Is your husband really drunk?"

Gao Yuanyuan blinked upon hearing this. "He's drunk. Look how much he drank tonight, how could he not be drunk?"

Ada Choi gave a thumbs up, "Your husband is really something else, no wonder he has you completely under his thumb."

"You're making sarcastic remarks again."

"This time it really wasn't. Just think, tonight he took down an entire table of male actors from our crew all by himself. That's amazing."

Upon hearing this, Gao Yuanyuan's expression suddenly turned somewhat unpleasant. "Jingwen, is it just my imagination? I feel like the male actors in the crew don't seem to like Qingxu very much?"

Seeing that Alyssa Chia didn't seem surprised at all, Gao Yuanyuan asked in astonishment, "You felt it too?"
