Mr. Xing was suspicious of Xu Xiyan’s abilities. When they had contacted her, her data showed that she was a master of Wing Chun, kickboxing and Sanda. That was the reason they agreed to use her as the double.
Xu Xiyan understood that they were suspicious of her abilities, especially because of her overly feminine dress.
But she was already there; she wouldn’t take no for an answer. Xu Xiyan would do whatever it took to secure the role.
Without a second thought, she threw Mr. Xing over the table and pinned him down.
“So, am I capable enough to play the character?”
“Yes! Of course!” he said, shocked. “That’s more than enough!”
The throw had been so clean and precise, Mr. Xing didn’t even have time to react.
After Xu Xiyan let him go, Mr. Xing said, “fill in the form, and then go change your clothes.”
On the form, Xu Xiyan wrote Jing Xi under the “name” section.
“What’s the matter, Ying Bao?”
Xu Xiyan set aside the water and picked her daughter up.
Ying Bao kept wiping her face with her tiny hand. Her face was covered with tears. She stammered, sniffling.
“Xi baby is working too hard...Xi baby jumped down from a very high place, what am I going to do if you injure yourself? My poor Xi baby...why can’t she get a double herself...?”
So she had seen the whole thing...
No wonder she was worried, watching me fall from the building.
Xu Xiyan wiped Ying Bao’s tears, comfortng her.
“I’m a double, you know. Have you forgotten that Xi baby is actually a superhero in disguise? Xi baby will be fine.”
“Don’t you dare say you’re fine,” interjected Fang Xiaocheng. “Look, you’re bleeding.”
Fang Xiaocheng sighed, grabbing Xu Xiyan’s arm and helping clean the infected area with a clean wet towel. After applying two band-aids, Fang Xiaocheng said, “you have to get that sterilized a bit better when we get back!”
Xu Xiyan was used to being tough.
“It’s fine,” she replied softly. “It’s just a scratch, it’ll heal soon.”
