    31: Battle for the Protagonist (Part 1)

    In the next few days, Qiao Qiao hinted to Cheng Xiu that soy milk was more nutritious than coffee, and he thoughtfully copied out the instructions for using the soy milk machine and pasted it on the soy milk machine.

    She expected Cheng Xiu to take a look or give it a try, but unfortunately things went against her expectations. Cheng Xiu couldn’t even get out of the kitchen for some reason since he came back.

    He became more taciturn and even stopped going for his usual morning run. Qiao Qiao thought he was in a bad mood at first, until one morning she saw blood-stained gauze and sutures in the trash can by the sink.

    Cheng Xiu was injured?!

    Qiao Qiao’s heart suddenly tightened. She poked her head out and took a look at the living room. Cheng Xiu was quietly leaning on the sofa with his eyes closed. He was only wearing a T-shirt on his upper body, and the fabric was tightly stretched on his body due to his muscle groups. The whole person looked like a jaguar taking a nap, which made people feel awe and want to get closer at the same time.

    Just a few minutes ago, he had helped Qiao Qiao put the heavy suitcase into another room quite easily. If Qiao Qiao hadn’t seen the gauze that she hadn’t had time to dispose of, she wouldn’t have realized that her landlord was still injured.

    Why let Cheng Xiu do such a dangerous thing?

    Qiao Qiao was puzzled. To Jian Baiyou, was Cheng Xiu just a bodyguard?Judging from what Jian Baiyou said that day, Cheng Xiu had been with him for more than ten years. The two people must have known each other since they were young. Even so, Jian Baiyou never thought of treating Cheng Xiu as an equal… friend?Do you just regard him as your own knife?A gun?This is too cold-blooded.

    Qiao Qiao could feel that Cheng Xiu was actually a cold-faced and warm-hearted person. Although the two of them didn’t communicate much, after living together under the same roof for almost a week, she could gradually get a feel for Cheng Xiu’s temper. Cheng Xiu paid attention to very few things, and his life was so simple that it made people feel almost poor. Sometimes,He frowns so tightly that it makes people look scared, but in fact Cheng Xiu is just impatient with daily life. If Qiao Qiao is more honest and doesn’t make any noise that upsets him, Cheng Xiu will basically not show any emotion towards Qiao Qiao. Instead, he will help Qiao Qiao do whatever he can.

    Long-term military career has left an indelible mark on Cheng Xiu. He hopes that everything can be as simple and effective as a firearm. When the trigger is pulled, the bullet will come out of the chamber, and when the bullet comes out of the chamber, the enemy will be defeated. This is a soldier’s philosophy.

    Qiao Qiao squatted down, took out some toilet paper and put it on the blood-stained trash can, and then wiped away a few sporadic blood spots on the floor tiles. She didn’t want Cheng Xiu to know that she found him injured, and she guessed that Cheng Xiu didn’t want her to know either.

    Director Zhuang quickly called Qiao Qiao to congratulate her on being selected in the audition and becoming the new heroine of the spy drama “Serial”.Although this was a huge happy event for Qiao Qiao, which meant that her career was likely to usher in a spring at this point, Qiao Qiao didn’t feel very happy for some reason. She repeatedly asked why she was selected to suppress the panic in her heart.

    Because this drama was a temporary change of roles, the entire crew had to work hard to catch up. Not only did they have to shoot the remaining parts within a limited time, but they also had to reshoot all the previous scenes where Jiang Li had appeared. This was a huge waste of manpower and material resources. Qiao Qiao didn’t have time to familiarize herself with the script. As soon as Director Zhuang hung up the phone, she quickly packed up and ran to the studio on the 29th floor to prepare for filming.

    “Is it Qiao Qiao?” As soon as the elevator door opened, a young woman with a sign on her chest came over quickly. Without saying a word, she dragged Qiao Qiao inside, pushed her directly into the dressing room, pressed her on an empty chair, stuffed her with a stack of papers, and ran away.

    Qiao Qiao looked down and saw that it was a new script… Is the crew already so busy?

    “You’re sitting in the wrong seat, little girl.”

    Qiao Qiao turned her head. A man who was styling his hair was looking at her in the mirror. He pointed to the stool under Qiao Qiao with his pointed chin: “That’s Jiang Li’s seat.”

    Why is it Jiang Li again…

    “But didn’t she quit the crew?” Qiao Qiao asked politely.

    “Who said she quit?” This time it was the man with the pointed chin who was stunned. He then looked Qiao Qiao up and down, frowned and asked, “Who are you? Why haven’t I seen you before?”

    “Oh, my name is Qiao Qiao, and I am the new heroine of “Lian Lian”. Director Zhuang just called me today -” Qiao Qiao felt that after all, she was new here and everyone here was her colleague, so she was about to explain the ins and outs to the other party, but she was rudely interrupted by the other party after just a few words.

    “Okay, needless to say.” The man with the pointed chin looked very angry. He threw down the setting water, “I’ll ask in person, and -” He reached out and lit the cosmetic bottles on the table, “These are mine, and those are Jiang Li’s. They are all expensive, so don’t touch them.”

    After saying that, he closed the dressing room door with a bang and left.

    Wait, you have to emphasize what you mean by expensive!Do I look poor?

    “Are you the new heroine?” There was a young girl on the other side of the dressing room who was cleaning up the dressing table. She turned to look at Qiao Qiao curiously, “I heard that Jiang Li also went to the audition, and you actually beat her.”

    “I have better luck.” Qiao Qiao was not sure whether this girl was in Jiang Li’s group, so he only replied vaguely.

    “Actually, Brother Chang had been waiting for this scene for several years before he couldn’t accept the change.” The girl lowered her head and arranged her makeup brushes neatly. “He joined WAWA because he wanted to play with Jiang Li. He started as a background actor and worked his way up to where he is today. It’s not easy. Don’t be angry.”

    “It’s okay, it’s okay.” Qiao Qiao keenly smelled the smell of gossip, “So this Chang… likes Jiang Li?”

    “Yes. And according to the schedule, today should be his first sex scene with Jiang Li. He has been waiting for a long time.” The girl nodded.

    “No wonder…” Qiao Qiao reacted slowly after a while, “Wait, a sex scene? Do I have to shoot a sex scene with him first today?”

    “Hey, didn’t you get the schedule?” The girl straightened up, “Oh, Sister Jing must have forgotten to give it to you. Go ask the director for a copy. In fact, I’m not sure, but I remember that the sex scene is either today or tomorrow.”

    “Okay, thank you. I’m going to ask for a schedule first.” Qiao Qiao quickly put down the script and left the dressing room. She had already made up her mind to apply for a postponement if she really wanted to shoot a sex scene. She didn’t like the man with the pointed chin. Although Qiao Qiao was rarely picky about her subjects, she didn’t want to shoot a sex scene with him so soon.

    Most of the people in the studio were in a hurry. Qiao Qiao stood on tiptoe and stretched his neck to look around before he saw Director Zhuang. He was talking to the man with the pointed chin. The man with the pointed chin still pointed in the direction of Qiao Qiao with his pointed chin, then frowned and shook his head, with a reluctant and aggrieved expression on his face.

    Qiao Qiao ran over: “Director Zhuang, I’m here to ask for a schedule. By the way, is the sex scene today?”

    Before Director Zhuang could open his mouth, the man with a sharp chin next to him immediately said, “Director, I’d like to request that the sex scene be postponed so that we can shoot some other scenes first.”

    “Why?” Director Zhuang’s attention was attracted by him, and the hand that was originally drawing out the schedule stopped moving. “No, it’s already scheduled to shoot the sex scene today. We will clear the venue soon. You can see that the venue is almost decorated. If you ask me to change it now, it’s already too late today.”

    “Director!” The man became anxious, “We originally planned to shoot today’s scene a week ago, but you insisted on postponing it. Now that Jiang Li has left, and such an unworthy actress has been replaced, it will be difficult for me… It will be difficult for me to do it.”

    Not on the stage…

    Qiao Qiao, who was standing nearby, felt an arrow hit his knee.

    “Anyway, Jiang Li has been replaced by me. Sooner or later, you will have to film sex scenes with her. If you have any problems, try your best to overcome them. I’m not here to ease your psychology.” Director Zhuang also turned cold, handed the schedule to Qiao Qiao, turned around and left.

    “I have been working hard for three or four years, but I just missed the point and ended up messing with you. It’s bad luck!” The man with the pointed chin said this angrily and left.

    Qiao Qiao also really wanted to use foul language now. If he had known earlier, he would not have gone to that damn audition and caused such a lot of trouble. Now he is fine. It seems that he can’t avoid filming a sex scene with this rotten person. It would be fine if he was just doing business, but if he makes some small moves, the woman will suffer.

    Depressedly, she took her schedule and returned to the dressing room to change clothes and start filming. As soon as she opened the door and went in, she found that Jiang Li, who had been kicked out of the crew, was sitting in the same seat where she had been sitting!

    Jiang Li was surrounded by people in the dressing room like stars holding the moon in front of her, and she laughed loudly from time to time. No one noticed Qiao Qiao coming in, but Jiang Li had sharp eyes, and she saw Qiao Qiao carefully closing the door in the mirror.

    “Oh, your new heroine is here.” Jiang Li’s voice rose a few degrees quietly, and the people surrounding her turned their heads. Qiao Qiao couldn’t hide, so he had to smile awkwardly and waved to say hello.

    “Then it’s time for me to leave. Actually, I just came here to see you.” Jiang Li stood up, picked up her bag, and had a disappointed expression on her face. “After all, my skills are inferior to others, so I have to retreat when it’s time to retreat.”

    She greeted Qiao Qiao warmly: “Come and sit here. Aren’t you going to start filming soon? You have to hurry up and put on your makeup.”

    Qiao Qiao originally didn’t want to go there, but the people next to her were staring at her, so she had no choice but to go over and sit down.

    “Come on.” Jiang Li patted Qiao Qiao’s face, smiled enigmatically, picked up her bag and left on high heels. Even her group of relatives and friends followed her out. She probably bumped into the man with the sharp chin. Qiao Qiao only heard him shout “Ms. Jiang” in surprise, and then the dressing room door was closed, and the noise outside was no longer heard.

    That’s it, the two enemy armies have finished converging…
