Lin Xiaoman was stunned for a moment, then realized he had just spoken and replied: “It would affect the performance effect, and I can bear it.”
Ji Zhixian lightly furrowed his brow, thinking of the girl’s pale face on the livestream still forcing a smile, and silently accelerated the car.
Lin Xiaoman sensed his emotional fluctuation and continued to explain: “A qualified idol, no matter what happens, must present a perfect performance to the audience the moment they step on stage.”
He had heard her say something similar in an interview: “A qualified actor, no matter what happens, must present a perfect performance to the camera the moment they stand in front of it.”
It was too similar.
“Who are you?”
★ Chapter Fifteen: Gift
Lin Xiaoman had only taken a few steps when she couldn’t help but gasp. The previous dancing had worsened her foot injury, and now with each step, she would break out in a cold sweat.
However, to prevent Ji Zhixian from noticing anything unusual, she tried to maintain a normal expression.
Ji Zhixian could see she was suppressing her pain. He was used to women appearing weak in front of him, but rarely saw someone who was sweating from pain yet remained silent.
Ji Zhixian thought this and felt he shouldn’t pay too much attention, so he walked two steps ahead of Lin Xiaoman.
Lin Xiaoman sighed in relief, finally allowing herself to furrow her brow. Before she could relax, Ji Zhixian suddenly turned around.
In the clear moonlight, he saw Lin Xiaoman’s pain that she hadn’t managed to hide, and then saw her quickly regain her composure, appearing as if nothing had happened.
He was silent for a moment, then walked towards Lin Xiaoman.
Lin Xiaoman didn’t know what he intended, but when he reached out to her, she immediately reacted and stepped back: “I can walk by myself.”
Ji Zhixian looked at her deeply and bent down to pick her up.
Lin Xiaoman felt her ankle relax and leaned into Ji Zhixian’s arms. Tilting her head to look at his handsome face up close, she suddenly realized he wasn’t as dislikable as before.
