After the love-brain rebirth, he became popular in the love variety show

After removing her makeup, Pei Xiao still stayed in the crew of "Love in the Empty Mountain". Director Wen warmly invited her to sit next to him, and Pei Xiao looked at Jina on the screen.

This is a scene where Kinai is healing herself after being injured. Sitting on an ice bed, the blood sliding down the corner of her mouth is the brightest color in the picture. Just from this, you can see how stunning this scene is.

Pei Xiao was a little surprised and couldn't help but admire Director Wen's sensitivity to aesthetics.

"It looks good, right? The feeling of being vomiting blood is the most beautiful."

Director Wen nodded with satisfaction.

After the scene was finished, Jinai walked over and saw Pei Xiao taking off her stage makeup and wearing casual clothes, and she grinned.

"Well, not bad, come and take a look."

Director Wen made way for him, and Jinai walked behind Pei Xiao, bending slightly. Pei Xiao didn't realize it at first, and was still looking at the script that Director Wen had just given him.

A gentle breathing sounded behind him, seemingly very close. Pei Xiao realized that something was wrong and frowned slightly.

Pei Xiao closed the script and stood up sideways.

"Director Wen, I feel a little tired and want to go back to the hotel to rest."

"Okay, you've come all the way here, so it's normal to be tired, go back now."

Director Wen did not doubt him, nodded and let Pei Xiao leave first.

When Jinai heard Pei Xiao was leaving, he quickly asked:

"Teacher Pei, do you want to have dinner with me? I have booked a private room today. Let's have dinner together?"

"This……"

Pei Xiao hesitated, but Jinai added:

"Today happens to be my birthday, so we all made an appointment to have dinner together."

Pei Xiao looked at Director Wen in surprise, and Director Wen nodded.

"Yes, we originally wanted to give him a surprise, but Jinai said in advance that he wanted to treat everyone to a birthday dinner, and he booked a private room a few days ago. It just so happens that you are here today, so let's eat together tonight."

Since Director Wen said so, Pei Xiao couldn't refuse and had to agree.

Seeing Pei Xiao leaving, Jinai felt a little disappointed, but then he thought of Pei Xiao attending his birthday party, and couldn't help but curl his lips. Director Wen saw what he was thinking and couldn't help but remind him:

"Pei Xiao has a boyfriend, you'd better stay away from her."

Jina's raised mouth corners froze instantly, he avoided her gaze and retorted:

"Director Wen, what are you talking about... Isn't it because Teacher Pei has just joined our crew that we want her to integrate into our team as soon as possible so that we can act smoothly when the time comes?"

"You better think so."

Director Wen naturally didn't believe what Jina said, but she was not related to Jina after all, so she could only give a reminder but could not play a restraining role.

Should I tell Jina's team?

Director Wen thought.

"It's the actor's birthday. It's not a good idea to go empty-handed. I'll go out and see if there are any suitable gifts."

When Assistant Liu heard Pei Xiao say that today was Jina's birthday, he immediately suggested going out to buy a gift. Pei Xiao felt that he should also give a gift, so he asked Assistant Liu for help.

In the evening, Pei Xiao brought gifts to the private room booked by Jina, and many people had already arrived.

Jina was sitting inside, with Director Wen sitting on his right, and a pretty girl on his left was talking to him with a smile, but Jina looked a little impatient.

Seeing Pei Xiao walk into the box, Jinai's frown instantly relaxed. He immediately stood up and waved towards Pei Xiao, scaring the girl next to him.

"Teacher Pei, you're here! Sit over here."

The place that Jina was pointing to was where the girl on the left was sitting. The girl realized what Jina meant and her face instantly turned a little ugly.

Pei Xiao walked over and handed him the gift box.

"Happy birthday. I just found out it's your birthday today. The preparations were a bit hasty. Please don't be so formal, Mr. Ji."

Jina took the gift with a smile.

"Oh, Mr. Pei is too polite. Also, it's too awkward for us to call each other teacher. We will be partners in the future. Why don't you call me Jina and I call you Xiaoxiao?"

Pei Xiao smiled and nodded. After giving the gift, she looked around and prepared to sit in the empty seat below. Jinai saw what Pei Xiao meant and subconsciously reached out and grabbed Pei Xiao's wrist.

"Jina!"

Director Wen stood up the moment Jina extended her hand. Pei Xiao turned his head to look at his wrist that was being held, and his expression became indifferent.

Jina also reacted. He quickly let go of his hand, and was so scared that he felt like he had touched a piece of red-hot charcoal. He stammered and explained:

"Xiaoxiao, I...I didn't mean it. This is your first time to...come to our crew, so I thought I could take this opportunity to introduce you..."

"Pei Xiao, sit next to me."

Director Wen spoke up in time to rescue him. Although Jina was a little dissatisfied, the embarrassing incident just now made him dare not speak again.

Pei Xiao walked over to Director Wen, who introduced him to everyone.

"This is the actress who plays the fox demon, Pei Xiao. The styling teacher has already met her. Xiao Qi, look, isn't Teacher Pei pretty good?"

The girl named Xiao Qi raised her glass and gestured to Pei Xiao with a smile. Director Wen and Pei Xiao said:

"This is our editor."

"Hello, Teacher Qi."

"You're welcome. Just call me Xiao Qi. I was surprised that Director Wen couldn't decide on the role of the fox demon. But after seeing you today, I finally understood why she insisted on having you join the crew."

"You're welcome. It's Director Wen who appreciates me."

After the introduction, Pei Xiao also knew that the girl sitting next to Jinai was the second female lead of the crew. When she was introduced, she just nodded, her face still not looking good.

Jina wanted to say something, but Director Wen glared at her and she sat back down in disappointment.

Pei Xiao also noticed Jinai's special attention to her. She didn't know where Jinai's inexplicable affection for her came from, but she didn't have the heart to deal with him now.

After barely finishing this social event, Pei Xiao returned to the hotel.

There is a lake behind the hotel booked in "Love in the Empty Mountain", and the window of Pei Xiao's room faces the lake.

Pei Xiao stood in front of the window. The weather was very good today. The moonlight was shining on the lake, and the originally dark window was illuminated by the moonlight. It was a different scene from the daytime, and it looked cold and quiet.

Pei Xiao took a photo of the lake, hesitated for a moment, and then plucked up the courage to send it to Pei Xiujie.

Pei Xiao: [The moonlight is so beautiful tonight. [1]]

Pei Xiujie: [I don’t look at the moon. [2]]

Pei Xiao: [Okay.]

what the hell……

Pei Xiujie quickly replied. Pei Xiao was expectant at first, but after seeing Pei Xiujie's message, her expression dimmed. Pei Xiao felt a little disappointed and couldn't help wondering if Pei Xiujie was planning to leave.

[1] The moonlight is so beautiful tonight. : From Natsume Soseki, used to express "I like you."

[2] I don’t look at the moon. : From the song “Unmoved”, the original text is “I don’t look at the moon, nor do I say I miss you, so the moon and you are both kept in the dark.” It is used to express “I miss you very much.”
