Chapter 726 Brother Xingyi, Can You Give Me a Hand?

Back in the dressing room.

The staff member who had come to inform them of the delay of the performance came running in again. He was panting heavily, “Mr. Jiang, I’m sorry. I’ve just received the notice. The performance will be held according to the original schedule. Please prepare yourself well. You’ll be going on stage soon!”

Jiang Xingyi’s assistant said unhappily, “We were told to wait for a while, but now you’re telling us that it’s okay. It’s only been half an hour. You guys changed so fast.”

The staff smiled and said, “I’m not too sure about that. I’m just here to deliver a message…”

“Okay, okay, I got it.” The assistant did not make things difficult for him. After letting him leave, she muttered to Jiang Xingyi, “I’m sorry I didn’t do anything. Fortunately, I didn’t do anything to him. After all, I’ve already put on my makeup and changed my clothes. Brother Xingyi, you should rest for a while. You’ll be going on stage soon.”

Jiang Xingyi nodded and closed his eyes to take a nap.

As expected, it was going according to the original schedule.

That meant that the matter with his little sister had been resolved, right?

He closed his eyes to rest, but someone knocked on the door of the dressing room again.

Jiang Xingyi did not move.

The assistant thought that the staff from earlier had returned and mumbled, “Is he going to change his mind again? Isn’t this too torturous?”

As she complained, she opened the door and saw a female celebrity who was dressed to the nines.

It was Ye Jie.

The assistant was stunned. “Ms. Ye?”

Ye Jie smiled at her. “I heard that the show is going to be delayed. I’ve already dressed up and I’m really bored in my dressing room. I knew that Brother Xingyi was here, so I came over to visit.”

The assistant said in surprise, “Just now, a staff member came over to inform us that there will be no delays and that it’s going to proceed according to the original schedule. Don’t you know, Ms. Ye?”

Ye Jie was stunned. “Ah, is that so? I didn’t know…”

She had miscalculated.

She had specially calculated the time to come over.

Generally speaking, if she came over immediately, it would appear that she was too attentive. And people would become especially impatient after waiting for half an hour. She thought that she would come over just in time to chat with Jiang Xingyi and relieve his boredom. However, she had not expected that things would change again.

The assistant said, “Perhaps he just came to inform us and is on his way to your dressing room now. Ms. Ye, you just happened to come over here and missed the news.”

Ye Jie agreed, “It should be like what you said. Then, it’s good that things are proceeding according to the original schedule. You can get off work on time.”

She smiled mischievously.

To begin with, the assistant was a beauty lover, not to mention that Ye Jie’s reputation on the internet was pretty good. She had never interacted with Ye Jie before. She only admired her looks and her first impression of Ye Jie was that she was a cute and good-looking young lady.

The assistant also said, “Yes, we can get off work on time. Then, Ms. Ye, do you have anything to say to Brother Xingyi?”.

The assistant moved aside so that Ye Jie could see Jiang Xingyi in the dressing room.

He was leaning back into his chair. Even though the assistant and Ye Jie were talking, his eyes were closed and he did not move at all. He looked as if he was asleep.

Ye Jie’s voice could not help but become softer. “Since that’s the case, I’d better not go in. Otherwise, it won’t be appropriate if others were to see…”

She forced a smile, and the assistant automatically imagined the rest of the plot for her.

If she was spotted, they would say that a female celebrity had taken the initiative to enter a male celebrity’s room and threw herself into his arms…

Hearing Ye Jie’s words, the assistant’s maternal instinct was triggered. She sympathized with Ye Jie and her impression of her improved a little.

At least she still cared about her reputation and did not rashly come in.

“Then, Ms. Ye…”

Ye Jie said hesitantly, “Actually, I came over because I wanted Brother Xingyi to agree to a presumptuous request of mine…but I feel that it’s a little hard to say it out loud. I’m afraid Brother Xingyi won’t agree…”

If Jiang Yu was here, she would probably reply, “If it’s hard to say it out loud, then don’t say

it.”

However, the assistant who was standing there was someone who already had a good impression of Ye Jie. She said with concern, “It’s all right, Ms. Ye. You can tell me.” Ye Jie shifted her weight to one side and lifted her foot, saying in embarrassment, “The thing is, my high heels are a little high today. When I step down from the stage later, there will be some steps to navigate. I hope that Brother Xingyi can give me a hand and guide me down. I won’t have any other physical contact with him.”

The assistant suddenly understood and said, “So that’s the request. It’s not that difficult.”

Female celebrities always wore high heels that were too high. At red carpets and other ceremonies, there would be male celebrities helping out. Under such circumstances, male celebrities would not be accused of taking advantage of others. They would only say that they were gentlemen, and it should not impact Jiang Xingyi’s reputation much. It was a piece of cake. The assistant agreed, “I’ll ask Brother Xingyi about it later.”

Ye Jie said apologetically, “I’m really sorry. These shoes go with my outfit. It was also chosen for me by my manager, so it’s not easy to change it…” “It’s okay. I understand. It’s the request of the brand.”

Ye Jie said, “Thank you for understanding.”

At this moment, Jiang Xingyi’s voice came from the room. “There’s no need to ask. I won’t agree.”

The assistant asked, “Brother Xingyi?”

Jiang Xingyi turned around. “You’re not alone. You’re part of a duo. Can’t you and your sister help each other?”

The assistant defended Ye Jie. “These two people are wearing such high heels. Even if they help each other, they might fall. Besides, to just see them struggle from the side, wouldn’t that make you seem prudish?”

Jiang Xingyi’s expression didn’t change. “I am a prude.”

The Assistant: “…”

As expected, he was straightforward. The moment he opened his mouth, the conversation died.

Ye Jie forced out a smile. “Then I understand. I’m sorry to disturb you, Brother Xingyi.”

Ye Jie lowered her head and left with a gloomy expression.

The assistant returned to Jiang Xingyi’s side and said disapprovingly, “She’s just a weak little girl. She just debuted not long ago. Why are you so mean to others? Is your heart made of steel?”

Jiang Xingyi glanced at her. “How old are you? And you want to sympathize with others?”

The assistant pouted. “It’s probably because I see such a weak girl, and the desire to protect her rose within me.” Jiang Xingyi sneered. “She just debuted not long ago and she’s already coming to look for me. Why don’t you say that instead? How is she weak?”

The assistant fell into deep thought.

“Brother Xingyi, what you said seems to make sense…most rookies wouldn’t dare to trouble their seniors…”

Jiang Xingyi snorted and did not say anything.

The assistant was once again stimulated to gossip, “Hey, Brother Xingyi, you’re such a prude. Who will be able to hold your arm in the future?”

Jiang Xingyi answered without hesitation, “My little sister.” The assistant: “…”
