Gao Xin seemed to have heard the biggest news of her life and leaned forward to the front row, exclaiming, “Someone actually dared to steal from him? Tell me all about it!”
Gao Xin and Sun Hu grew increasingly animated in their discussion, going so far as to speak recklessly right in front of the person involved, until Gao Xin declared, “He must be jealous! After all, Xia Xin is so likable. MO Shu is pretty handsome too. They’d make a great pair!”
Jing MO frowned at Gao Xin and Sun Hu, a single glance from him was enough to silence the duo. Sensing that Jing MO was in a bad mood, Gao Xin and Sun Hu remained silent for the rest of the journey.
As for Xia Xin, she was getting her makeup done. The makeup artist, noticing her nervousness, teased, “You’ve been filming for half a month, why are you so jittery today? Is it because you’re filming an underwater scene with MO Shu? Feeling shy?”
Xia Xin, preoccupied with the thought of swimming, had no mood for jokes. She had always been afraid of water. Even approaching a pool triggered her anxiety. Therefore, she suspected that her fainting spell the day before wasn’t just due to the side effects of her system, but also because she had been too close to the water.
To cope with the day’s filming, Xia Xin came up with a solution, the system’s Shop. Her popularity was on the rise, and her Human Affinity points were accumulating quickly. She had just reached 100,000 points. Conversely, her Animal Affinity points were growing much slower.
The system’s Shop indeed offered a potion that could temporarily grant her the skills of a champion swimmer for half an hour. The potion cost exactly 100,000 Human Affinity points.
Feeling frustrated at how quickly her hard-earned points were spent, Xia Xin bought the potion. She even arranged with the director to film this scene last, fearing the potion might make her drowsy and affect subsequent shoots.
Though puzzled, the director agreed.
Once her makeup was done and the artist left, Xia Xin was alone in the room.
She took a deep breath to prepare herself mentally and drank the potion.
Instantly, she felt energized. Every pore in her skin seemed to crave water.
By the time Xia Xin arrived on set, her fear of the water was gone. She even confidently approached the pool and dipped her hand in the water.
MO Shu, concerned, walked over and asked, “I thought you were afraid of water. Are you okay being this close?”
“I’ll be fine.” Xia Xin assured MO Shu. “At least for the duration of this scene.’
Still worried, MO Shu offered, “If you get scared, I can hold onto you during the shoot.”
Politely, Xia Xin declined.
The scene involved both of them playfully frolicking in the water. It was brief, and with a bit of luck, they’d finish quickly. When Jing MO arrived, they had just completed the water part of the scene and were sitting on lounge chairs by the poolside, draped in towels.
Having gained experience from days of shooting, Xia Xin was much more at ease in front of the camera. Gao Xin couldn’t help but praise Xia Xin’s progress, “I can’t believe how quickly Xia Xin has improved. She’s come so far in just half a month—far more than I did when I started.’
Jing MO remained silent, his eyes fixed on the scene. He sensed something off with Xia Xin, something no one else, including MO Shu, seemed to notice. His mood shifted from irritation to concern.
Just when Xia Xin felt her consciousness wane, she internally panicked. She thought, ‘This is bad. The side effects are kicking in!’
Luckily, the director yelled, “Cut!”
After the filming was concluded, everyone moved to review the footage.
As Xia Xin stood by the pool, ready to leave, she suddenly felt dizzy and lost her balance, stumbling towards the water.
Just when Xia Xin thought she was about to fall into the pool, a pair of hands firmly gripped her waist and pulled her back..
