Chapter 39
"I get it, I get it now!" Little Miss Zhi Yao said very excitedly, "If the director had explained it to me like this earlier, I would have understood long ago!"
She eagerly demonstrated in front of Pei Chiyao again. Although some parts still seemed a bit odd, such as the lingering strong eagerness in Zhi Yao's eyes, it was still much better than before overall.
Pei Chiyao gave Zhi Yao some more pointers and adjusted her state a little until he felt she had it down well enough and let Zhi Yao go out first.
As the little girl left, her eyes were red. The crew members all stared at Zhi Yao.
Although everyone had some guesses about Zhi Yao and Pei Chiyao's relationship, they didn't dare to confirm it. After all, the two of them didn't show any intimacy in public.
Especially when Older Brother Sun came over just now to treat everyone to milk tea, he unintentionally revealed that Zhi Yao was a new artist that Pei Chiyao's studio wanted to sign.
Only at this moment did everyone confirm it. Zhi Yao must have nothing going on with Pei Chiyao! Look! Even the usually stern God Chiyao scolded her to tears!
She must have cried terribly, even smudging her lipstick.
In an instant, the slight resentment everyone felt towards Zhi Yao vanished and turned into empathy for a fellow worker.
After all, Zhi Yao looked 18 at most. At that young age having to suffer the cruelty of society, how could they not deeply empathize?
As long as there was no coercion, as long as she didn't get here by clinging onto Pei Chiyao's coattails, everyone's goodwill towards Zhi Yao came rushing back instantaneously.
Indeed, Older Brother Sun had a way with winning people's hearts.
Just as Zhi Yao was about to look for the director, Sister Su pulled her over. "Let's touch up your makeup first."
She really couldn't stand seeing Zhi Yao's wretched state.
The confused little girl was dragged away by Sister Su. As soon as she sat down, she was surrounded by people again. "Yao Yao, don't be scared. All newbies go through this! Wipe your tears. Do you want milk tea?"
Milk tea? !
Zhi Yao's eyes lit up in an instant. She nodded quickly, "I want, I want!"
"I have some snacks here, do you want them?"
Zhi Yao's eyes shone even brighter. "I want!"
Seeing the little girl happily eat snacks with eyes curved into crescents, everyone felt even more strongly that those rumors were too malicious.
She was clearly such a pure little girl.
Someone even spoke up to comfort her, "Yao Yao, God Chiyao was quite fierce just now, but after all he is your boss. Over time, you'll discover God Chiyao is actually very nice. Don't be afraid of him."
Zhi Yao looked at her blankly.
"I dig Chiyao Pei!" She mumbled with a mouth full of potato chips. She almost bristled with joy at how tasty they were that she couldn't enunciate clearly.
The other person didn't hear clearly and continued reassuring, "It's alright, it's alright. If there's anything, you can look for Older Brother Sun. He's easy to talk to."
Zhi Yao nodded and put down the snacks. Sister Su applied the final touch of lipstick on her.
The director's team was hurrying them. Before the little girl could explain, she was pulled away again.
