Chapter 1720: What Are the Odds in This World

“Xiao Yu, his drama last year became a huge hit. Didn’t you watch it? He wasn’t even the lead, but managed to hold his own among a bunch of veteran actors. As soon as it aired, it became a sensation. He got offered many lead roles, but he only took on one historical romance and then accepted Director Chen’s invitation. He turned down all other roles to clear his schedule for this drama.”

At first, Nan Jiaojiao just found the name very familiar. She thought for a while before a face that matched the name popped into her mind.

“Ah…”

Su Miaotong laughed, “From your reaction, it’s clear you didn’t know. I can’t figure out why someone your age isn’t into following dramas.”

“I just happened not to watch it.”

“No worries, you might recognize him when you see him later. His clothes have already been prepared in advance, so you can deliver them later.”

Nan Jiaojiao pursed her lips and eventually agreed without saying anything else.

She thought it was just a coincidence. How likely is it that she would be tricked by her godmother into a blind date in the Capital City, only to find it to be with a top star?

No wonder her reaction at the time seemed strange to the other party.

They probably didn’t expect there to be someone who wouldn’t get excited upon seeing his face.

However, when Nan Jiaojiao entered the male lead’s dressing room, she fell silent.

Turns out, such coincidences do exist in the world.

“Hey, you’re here.”

The manager was a middle-aged man in his forties with an honest-looking face but sharp eyes. He was the first to notice Nan Jiaojiao, “I was introduced by Producer Zhou, you’re Nan Jiaojiao, right? You worked on ‘The Empress’s Killing’ too?”

Nan Jiaojiao modestly replied, “Not really, I was just being guided by our company’s chief designer.”

“It doesn’t matter how, as long as there’s talent. We’re not that snobbish. Since Producer Zhou has praised you so much, why don’t you show us how you plan to style Xiao Yu’s clothes?”

Nan Jiaojiao kept a calm expression, “Alright.”

“Wait a moment.”

Xiao Yu pushed the chair aside, walked over with a slight smile, and politely looked at Nan Jiaojiao, pausing slightly as if to give her a chance to speak. When she didn’t, he took the initiative to extend his right hand.

“Hello, I’m Xiao Yu. I look forward to our collaboration.”

Nan Jiaojiao shook his hand briefly, “Looking forward to working with you.”

Xiao Yu put his hand behind his back, “Let me see the clothes.”

Nan Jiaojiao turned to take a set off the rack and explained how to wear it.

Xiao Yu listened attentively without interrupting her once. When she finished, he responded, “Alright, I’ll try it on inside. You can wait out here and help adjust if I wear anything incorrectly.”

“Okay.”

There was a private changing room inside the dressing room.

Nan Jiaojiao didn’t wait long before Xiao Yu came out.

“Does this look right?”

Nan Jiaojiao’s gaze moved from top to bottom, focusing only on the clothes.

“The bow tie is a bit off.”

“Hmm?”

Xiao Yu looked down, but couldn’t see his own neck. He raised his head again, “Can you tell me how to adjust it?”

“Like this.”

Nan Jiaojiao stepped closer, speaking while adjusting the bow tie’s position, “In your upcoming scene, it’s your first appearance. You’re playing a young master returning from abroad, wearing the trendiest suit and vest. The bow tie should be perfectly straight, but once you enter the brothel, it’s deliberately skewed to show your inherent playboy nature. Also, the tie’s color connects with the tattered clothes of your character’s later life after losing loved ones and the decline of your family… What’s wrong?”

Xiao Yu let out a soft groan.
