Chapter 66: Sasaeng Fans
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Jin Wenxi had succeeded in becoming the male lead’s substitute, but the news of ‘Song Xiaocao’—a die-hard fan—chasing a celebrity to the production team to become a free assistant spread like wildfire, too.
Not only were the actors mocking her and Jin Wenxi both in public and in secret, but even some calefare actors were laughing at her behind her back.
“With that appearance of hers, how dare she chase after a celebrity? Hasn’t she taken a look in the mirror before?”
“That’s right. Jin Wenxi is so handsome; he just hasn’t become famous yet. She’s really blinded by her wishful thinking.”
“At best, she’s just a cheap maid who can only offer herself up for free. Jin Wenxi doesn’t have a staff member by his side now, so he can just use her first.” At this moment, a little palace maid—Xiao Jing, who had acted alongside Jin Wenxi in some scenes in the drama—spoke up.
“Sister Xiao Jing, since you’re so familiar with Brother Wenxi, why don’t you persuade him? It’s too degrading to bring along such a lowly assistant.”
Xiao Jing brushed her hair back and revealed a look of disdain. “I’ll get her to disappear from this production team tomorrow.”
Just then, Song Wei happened to pass them by while carrying the clothes that Jin Wenxi needed. She had heard everything, but she did not give them a single look.
A young girl acting as a palace maid grew indignant. “Sister Xiao Jing, what did she mean by that just now? That she doesn’t take us seriously?”
“I think so. She’s so ugly yet still so arrogant. Who does she think she is?!”
Xiao Jing also frowned and secretly clenched her hands into fists. “I will wake Brother Wenxi up. Having this woman standing beside him is already a form of blasphemy.”
The other ‘sisters’ cheered her on. “Brother Wenxi treats you very well. He will definitely listen to you.”
That was true. Song Wei had just arrived at the dressing room and put the costume down when Xiao Jing too pushed open the door from outside and entered.
Due to her current status as an assistant, Song Wei symbolically stopped her for a moment. “Miss, this is the makeup room for the main actors. The extras are in the opposite room. If there’s nothing urgent, please go out. Thank you.”
However, with the encouragement from her sisters just now, Xiao Jing displayed a completely proud and lofty stance in front of Song Wei.
The way she looked at Song Wei was simply full of contempt. “Who do you think you are? Move aside. I’m here to look for Wenxi.”
“He’s putting on makeup. If you don’t have any urgent matter, please do not disturb him.”
However, Xiao Jing simply lifted the hem of her dress and ran towards Jin Wenxi. “Wenxi, look at your assistant. She doesn’t have any manners at all. I was just looking for you, but she kept chasing me away.”
Jin Wenxi turned around and stuck his tongue out at her. He blinked. “This assistant of mine is rather fierce.”
Xiao Jing glanced in Song Wei’s direction with utter disgust in her eyes. “She’s not just fierce. Look at her. She’s dressed in such shabby clothes and looks so ugly, too. The whole production team is laughing at her. Even you have been dragged into this mess with her.”
“And?” Jin Wenxi looked at her suspiciously as if he did not know what she was trying to say.
Xiao Jing stomped her foot. “They all say that she rushed up to be your assistant because she adores you. To put it bluntly, she’s just a sasaeng fan. She also looks ugly. Don’t you find it disgusting to be liked by such a person?”
“…” Jin Wenxi grew silent.
Xiao Jing thought that she had persuaded him, so she persisted with her efforts. “A sasaeng fan like her should be strangled in the cradle1. Otherwise, it will affect your career.”
Jin Wenxi’s makeup artist laughed out loud first. “Miss, you sound so sincere. It feels like you are the one who likes Wenxi, not her…”
Xiao Jing’s entire face flushed red as the makeup artist hit the mark. “I-I don’t. I just admire Wenxi. Now that he’s also favored by the director, I admire him even more.”
“…”
“Besides, I’m not like that ugly freak who sticks to whoever she likes. How disgusting.”
Jin Wenxi slowly opened his mouth, “You might have misunderstood something. Xiaocao really doesn’t like me…”
However, Xiao Jing was especially determined as she countered. “You don’t have to explain. I understand. You don’t like being pursued like this either, but you’re too kind and have no way of refusing, right…?”
Song Wei, who was behind them, listened until the corners of her lips started twitching.
Whoa, she had such a rich imagination.
Right at this moment, Liu Shiying and her party pushed open the door of the dressing room and entered.
