Chapter 1721: Of Course I Know Her

Nan Jiaojiao noticed it and looked up, asking, “Did I hurt you somewhere?”

“No.”

Xiao Yu said, “I’ve caught a cold these past few days, and my rhinitis flared up. I almost couldn’t hold it in just now, sorry about that.”

He turned away and covered his mouth to sneeze.

“Sorry, I’ll handle it myself. Just tell me what to do, and I’ll listen to you.”

The agent interjected, “Let Xiao Nan do it, don’t steal his job. Just be a good model and stand there.”

“Brother Hui…”

“Xiao Nan, don’t listen to him. He’s all show and no substance, especially lacking in fashion sense. If it weren’t for the team stylists controlling his wardrobe, he’d have been mocked into oblivion ages ago. You do it however you like, and he’ll go along with it.”

Is he that bad?

Nan Jiaojiao had seen him twice in the Capital City.

Dressed pretty well, honestly. Not bad at all.

Those were probably both formal occasions.

She nodded, “Alright.”

As Nan Jiaojiao raised her hand, Xiao Yu stood back in front of her, craning his neck to cooperate.

“You need to tie it this way, so it’ll be easy for you to loosen it later, and it will go well with the whole outfit.”

A few adjustments from Nan Jiaojiao, and it was done.

She stepped back, “Check it out.”

Xiao Yu walked to the mirror and looked at himself from all angles.

Nan Jiaojiao handed him a linen-colored hat, which he took and pressed down on his head. It really gave the vibe of a well-dressed young gentleman from the Republic of China era.

“Amazing.”

Brother Hui leaned in for a look, “I was already satisfied when you sent me the design sketches. Now that it’s on him, it’s like it was tailor-made. Incredible. He’s such a… oh, no, he does have a good base. But you transformed him into someone presentable in minutes, truly impressive. You’re clearly a product of a master.”

Nan Jiaojiao smiled humbly, “Is there anything else that needs adjusting?”

“No,” Xiao Yu replied immediately.

Brother Hui was about to speak, but got interrupted and completely forgot what he was going to say.

“No, it’s great. I’ll take him to see Director Chen later. Xiao Nan, let me add you on WeChat, it’ll be easier to communicate.”

“Sure.”

Nan Jiaojiao opened the QR code for him to scan. Brother Hui scanned it and sent a request, and she confirmed it on her end.

“I’ll head out then. I’ll be on set when filming starts. If anything feels uncomfortable, let me know right away.”

Xiao Yu called after her, “Did you drink the milk tea from this morning?”

“Yes, thanks.”

He smiled, “You’re welcome.”

Nan Jiaojiao left, closing the door gently behind her.

Brother Hui looked at Nan Jiaojiao’s Moments on WeChat. They were set to visible for only three days, completely blank, not a single post, a work account?

“Do you know her?”

Xiao Yu: “Huh?”

Brother Hui looked up, “Don’t play dumb with me, you can’t hide it from me. You know that girl, don’t you?”

Xiao Yu was surprised, “How did you figure that out?”

“What’s so hard to guess about your pure-hearted nature?”

There was no one else in the dressing room, so Brother Hui’s words often left Xiao Yu at a loss. Xiao Yu’s background wasn’t too shabby; he’s a second-generation rich kid from the Capital Consortium, with impeccable credentials. Yet, growing up, he’s only ever had a few pure relationships, and just hugging a girlfriend seemed like a big deal to him. Initially, Brother Hui thought he was just trying to craft a persona, but after getting to know him, it was clear this guy was genuinely sincere and naive.

“Let me remind you, the company doesn’t allow dating. You’re at a crucial point in your career now, so you can’t even let a female mosquito near you without squashing it flat. You absolutely cannot hide anything from me. Spill the beans immediately.”
