Thump, thump.
Her heartbeat suddenly sped up double time.
What a strange feeling.
Xiang Yi batted her eyes. Just like how she did not persuade Shi Sui to stop smoking, she didn’t comment on his ambition to quit either. She politely smiled and glanced over at the script on the table. The booklet was spotlessly clean, but the edges of the pages had been worn out from frequent use.
“Senior, are you in a film?”
“Debating if I should take it or not.”
“Hm?” Xiang Yi was curious. “Is there a problem with the script?”
“The script is great, it’s my problem. This role... I don’t believe I can play it well.”

Zaizai had several best leading actor awards under his belt; how could there be a film where he can’t perform?
Seeing her confused expression, Shi Sui’s thin lips twitched slightly. “There are too many emotional scenes.”
Xiang Yi suddenly recalled that out of all the roles Shi Sui has played since his debut, there had been no emotional scenes...
Don’t mention having his first kiss on screen; he was a man who’s never even had a first hug on screen, or a first hand-holding on screen.
“I see.” Xiang Yi did not press on. She had her own safety zone when it came to socializing with others. If she didn’t want others to pry into her life, she wouldn’t inquire about their privacy either. “Oh right, I’m going to install a swing. When it’s done, Senior can come and try it out!”
Shi Sui: “Okay, I’ll cheer you on.”
“I’m going back to change.” Soon after she spoke, the girl left in a light and quick manner.
Shi Sui stared at her back as she disappeared out of sight, still unable to look away.
In his head, Director Yan’s words played, persuading him: If you want to get good at emotional scenes, it’s very simple. Fall in love a few times, and you’ll get the hang of it.
Fall in love... Shi Sui rubbed his forehead, feeling a headache approaching.

Xiang Yi changed back into casual clothing with her hair tied up into two buns, then she happily walked toward the swing set with great interest.
It just happened that the livestream cameras were on her.
Several fans were squatting in the stream. Seeing the screen change, the comment section became lively once again.
—[Sister Yi looks so cute in pigtail buns!]
—[They’re installing a swing? That’s so hardcore!]
—[Wow! I see Smog entering the lens, he’s looking really mean!]
—[Simao Brother is approaching the Vase Fairy. Even through the screen, I can feel his murderous intent!]

At the villa inside the Bamboo Forest, the “Heartbeat” stream was playing a game of Werewolf. As soon as the viewer count increased a bit, Director Chen received the report from his assistant: the viewer count for “Two Under One Roof’ was rapidly rising.
“The number of viewers have dropped again...” After all, the audience for variety shows were mainly young people, and information can be disseminated and exchanged very quickly.
Whenever there is a stir in the air, they will rush to the front of the crowd to see what’s happening.
Director Chen was about to vomit blood. He snatched the tablet and took a look. The camera suddenly panned to Smog as he ran toward Xiang Yi, snatching the planks from her hand. Grumply, he cursed, “Do you know what the hell you’re doing!”
The girl was taken aback by the howling. Whispering, she said: “Building a swing.”
“Why are you installing this sh*t!!”
Xiang Yi helplessly pulled at the corners of her shirt as if she had been wronged. “You said you wanted to build one...”
The comment section began saying all kinds of things.
—[Σ(°△°|||)︴ Goodness gracious, Smog really does have a hot temper...]
—[I’m about to throw up from the Vase Fairy’s acting. How dare she act cute in front of Smog? Are you worthy?]
— [Fight, fight, fight! I love this kind of intense drama!!]
Director Chen’s eyes lit up. Once Smog dropped a few more swear words, the stream of “Two Under One Roof” will be banned!
