Jian Yixin took the initiative to walk over.

 “Ms. Lin.” After approaching her, Jian Yixin smiled, “I was just about to find you.”

   Her spine was straight  as she walked, highlighting her shoulders and neck lines which were especially beautiful, wrapped in a light and sweet fragrance, blowing on her face.

    With sunglasses blocking her face, Lin Qinglu’s eyes wandered wantonly, and finally fell on Jian Yixin’s face.

   “Huh?” Lin Qinglu turned cold again after calling someone over.

   She looked like a domestic cat begging for food. When the owner arrived with canned food, it walked away coquettishly, waiting for the food to be delivered to his mouth.

    Jian Yixin didn’t remember if she had ever raised a cat, but facing Lin Qinglu like this, she somehow seemed to know it naturally.

    “I bought a butterfly pastry and wanted to give it to Ms.Lin to taste.” Jian Yixin said, raising her hand, and handing the pastry box to Lin Qinglu’s assistant.

    “No thanks, I still have one in my room.” Lin Qinglu’s eyes fell on the pastry box, as she said that.

    Chin raised slightly, high and cold with a reserved tone.

   “Also?” Liu Lele carefully reminded her that there was a lot of residue in the pastry bag left in the living room, which seemed pitiful.

    Sister Qinglu is not an easy going person either. Liu Lele thought.

    Jian Yixin continued to persuade: “I almost ran into Ms.Lin that day. If you don’t accept it, I would feel sorry for it.”

    As she said, she pursed her red lips slightly, her tone lost: “This is specially prepared for you…”

    Lin Qinglu reluctantly said, “That’s it.”

    “Yeah.” Jian Yixin nodded, as if seeing the hope of success, her face lit up.

    A wave of autumn breeze brushed past, delicate and gentle.

    Lin Qinglu was shocked, but did not answer immediately.

    Jian Yixin turned towards Liu Lele and smiled softly, “Assistant Liu, can you help Ms.Lin carry it?”

    Even Lin Qinglu couldn’t resist her beauty, how could Liu Lele refuse?

    She cursed Song Pianzhen loudly in her heart. The woman was dishonest, yet she took the Butterfly Crisp in her hand obediently.

    Sister Qinglu loves to eat this pastry. Liu Lele comforted herself.

    When Lin Qinglu returned to her senses, the transaction was completed.

    Lin Qinglu was a little pleased when she inhaled the rich, pleasant, sweetness filled aroma. She looked at Jian Yixin and felt a little complicated.

    She took Liu Lele back to the hotel room. Liu Lele put down the box and was about to slip it away. Lin Qinglu squinted:

    “I didn’t put her on the interview list before. Why was she so obedient today?”

    Liu Lele’s face was bitter: “Maybe Song Pianzhen is too good-looking.”

    “She has virtue.” Lin Qinglu scolded her with a smile, and turned to watch Song Pianzhen’s “apothecary” to her. She didn’t know who she was angry with, so she didn’t release it for a long time.

    But the more she turned a blind eye, Song Pianzhen’s face worked harder to imprint into her mind, like a small butterfly alarm clock, to remind her.

    Try it soon.

    Finally, before washing, Lin Qinglu gave up resistance and stretched out her evil claws towards the pastry box.

    As soon as she touched the paper box, the mobile phone placed aside lit up, and her agent, Luo Chun had sent a WeChat message:

    “Lin Qinglu, there will be a magazine appointment next week. You can’t eat butterfly pastry again this week #smile”

    Lin Qinglu: “….”

    Anger bubbled up in her chest.

    After separating from Lin Qinglu, Jian Yixin also returned to her room.

    Jian Yixin lived in a standard room. The roommate in the same room was a girl from the makeup group, named Su Ting. She loved to laugh a lot and was not difficult to get along with.

    Although she was in the makeup group, Su Ting was only able to join the crew because of her relatives. If she was able to learn something, she would study hard and follow suit.

    The filming of Ye Zixuan’s scene was about to commence, and there were still some details to be finalized. Su Ting and Jian Yixin went to the film set in a hurry. Jian Yixin looked behind her and asked Xiao Jiu: “Does the FL know what Shen Yu asked me to do?”

    Xiao Jiu answered very skillfully: [From the description in the article, Ye Zixuan has not expressed any opinion on this matter.]

    Jian Yixin agreed: “Well, the beautiful little white flower FL, I don’t know how she should be.”

    [It sounded okay, but in just a few days the host had a sudden change, and Yazi, who was still very thoughtful, was already afraid to look down on its host.]

    Thinking about their first meeting, Xiao Jiu felt that the host was not as good as an intern. Looking at her now, Xiao Jiu felt like a target for a face slap.

    [My face hurts.]

    Jian Yixin didn’t know what the system thought, but did the task step by step.

    The heroine of the novel had appeared on the scene, and she should go see her because of emotion and reason.

….

    Early in the morning, Su Ting’s movements were a little hectic. Jian Yixin was awakened from her light sleep. She glanced at the time and said, “Isn’t it early?”

    The filming started in the morning yesterday, with Lin Qinglu’s first scene, and Su Ting went out much later.

    “Today I am in charge of Ye Zixuan. She has been acting for a long time.” Su Ting said euphemistically.

    Jian Yixin just woke up, so it took some time for her to understand that Ye Zixuan’s photogenic flaws were too many, thus she had to work slowly and carefully.

    After being woken up, Jian Yixin couldn’t sleep either, so she went to the crew with Su Ting.

    She had nothing to do as a dancer. She was willing to be with the crew, and the director asked her to stay in the crew in order to gain experience while watching the other scenes.

    Shen Yu thought she was still obsessed with him, but Jian Yixin knew that her target  now was Lin Qinglu.

    Unfortunately, there was no good time to get close to Lin Qinglu, and the crew had been peaceful for the past two days.

    The only thing she could do in the past two days was to rely on help to accumulate positive popularity.

    “Pianzhen, can you help me bring this hairpin to the dressing room? Thank you.” The props group hurriedly passed by, holding a large stack of props, and motioned with difficulty to Jian Yixin to take a brocade box.

    “You don’t need to thank me. Go ahead and work.” Jian Yixin smiled.

    Jian Yixin walked in with the brocade box, and just stood in front of the door listening to the noise inside emerging out through the door.

    “What? Do you look down on our Zi Xuan? So you did her make-up casually?” The voice was sharp and mean because it was raised too high.

    “Sister Gao, it’s okay, just change it, don’t be angry.” A soft female voice followed.

    “Hey, Zixuan, because you have a good temper, I will say a few more words. They dare bully you because I’m not in the crew.”

    Jian Yixin paused, then knocked in.

    The sound of the door opening attracted everyone’s attention, including Ye Zixuan and her angry agent Gao Min.

    Ye Zixuan was persuading her agent as the door opened, and she subconsciously looked over. A tall and beautiful woman walked in. She had a very good temperament and walked in no hurry.

    The woman walked near her, across a dressing table, reached out and put the brocade box on the table.

    Ye Zixuan only noticed her white and slender fingers resting on the dark brocade box.

    “Sent from the props group.”

    Jian Yixin said, she looked at Su Ting, and Su Ting sighed silently.

    Jian Yixin said casually: “Director Zhao just asked when he can shoot, everyone, hurry up.”

    After speaking, she nodded in greeting, turned and went out.

    The tantrum was interrupted, so it was not so bad.

    Gao Min didn’t yell again, and asked for a while: “Who was that just now? A new crew member?”

    Su Ting resisted the urge to roll her eyes, and said proudly: “It’s our group dancer.”

    The faceless stand-in, Gao Min’s face was not so ugly.

    Even if there was Lin Qinglu suppressing her own artist, if there existed another person of such level, there would be no place for Ye Zixuan to stand in the shoot.

    Gao Min remembered the sentence before taking a place of her own, anyhow she didn’t continue the topic again, and urged: “Hurry up, the director urged.”

    Su Ting walked to Ye Zixuan’s side and laid hands on the makeup.

    Inadvertently, her eyes met with Ye Zixuan’s in the mirror, and Ye Zixuan’s delicate face burst into a smile:

    “Are you and her friends?”

    “What’s her name?”

    As soon as Jian Yixin left Ye Zixuan’s dressing room, she ran into Shen Yu.

    Needless to say, the affectionate male lead must have come to find the female lead. Jian Yixin pretended not to see him, and cooperatively gave way.

    Shen Yu held a script and wanted to knock on Ye Zixuan’s door.

Jian Yixin took advantage of this time to focus on Song Pianzhen’s memories. In addition to loving Shen Yu, her idol, Song Pianzhen was gentle, beautiful, versatile, and loved by all at home. Her life was as beautiful as a fairy tale.

——Even if she suppressed Lin Qinglu for Shen Yu, no one could move her. Lin Qinglu’s fans were angry and useless, and the little princess was guarded by her family; remaining unscathed.

As Jian Yixin was thinking, her phone vibrated, and the caller ID was ‘Song Zhe’, Song Pianzhen’s brother.

She picked it up: “Hi Bro.”

“Little sis.” Song Zhe was in the office. When he heard his sister’s voice, the corners of his lips curled up. There was no trace of his usual sternness, and his voice sounded extremely gentle, “How was your day today? When will you come back?”

Jian Yixin imitated Song Pianzhen’s tone and said coquettishly: “I’ve only been out for a few days, gege(1).”

“It’s been nearly a week.” Song Zhe sighed, “You don’t let my people follow you. It’s inconvenient to be alone out there. You have to squeeze in with other people. I wanted to fund the crew but you wouldn’t let me…”

No matter how overbearing the president was, it didn’t show when he nagged his sister.

Song Zhe was much older than the original Song Pianzhen, and had always raised his younger sister as a daughter. Although Jian Yixin didn’t need this kind of care, she was patient enough to understand the concerns from her family.

“Funding the crew…” Until it came to the funding, Jian Yixin did not object to him financing her to achieve goals simply and rudely, so she thought for a moment.

Song Zhe saw the hope of  financing his sister and said, “How is it?”

“It’s not necessary. I am not part of the crew, so I will go back after dancing.” Jian Yixin thought about it.

“Well, I respect your opinion.”

Jian Yixin smiled. She liked this kind of family very much. Although they cared about each other, they also respected each other. Therefore, she sincerely said, “Thank you brother.”

His younger sister’s voice was so soft and light, that Song Zhe’s heart melted, and he couldn’t wait to shower her with all the good things in the world, but unfortunately she didn’t want anything.

Song Zhe didn’t give up and asked, “Is there really nothing I need to do for you?”

Jian Yixin smiled, she rubbed her forehead, and remembered: “Then, brother, can you help me find a pastry chef?”

Song Zhe: “Huh?”

Jian Yixin looked out the window, and across the road was a bakery. The taste was somewhat mediocre. Looking at the packaging, Lin Qinglu had bought this one.

Lin Qinglu was famous for eating butterfly cakes.

“It’s a small dessert.” Jian Yixin smiled slightly, “especially the butterfly cake, I seem to have an appetite for it recently.”

Song Zhe proved his love for his sister with efficiency. The Song family steward sent their pastry chef the next afternoon after the call.

Since people couldn’t be brought into the crew, the chef bought a shop near the film site and intensively renovated it.

This pastry chef was Chinese, and his resume was full of award winning experiences in various international food competitions. Because Song Pianzhen specifically mentioned butterfly cakes, the pastry chef also brought a copy of the finished product.

The fresh butterfly pastry was filled with sweetness, and the rich buttery smell wafting out of the cracks in the pastry box, smelled delicious.

 As for the taste, she would take it back to taste it first, and if it passed, she would use it to brush Lin Qinglu’s favor.

  Jian Yixin had a good plan; and if she didn’t run into Lin Qinglu in the reception hall of the hotel, it would’ve worked.

 Lin Qinglu and her assistant were passing by, and originally only glanced at Jian Yixin.

After two or three seconds, her nose moved slightly and her footsteps slowed down until she stopped completely, looking at the pastry box in Jian Yixin’s hand.

 Sunglasses covered most of her face, so she couldn’t observe her expression clearly. Her lips opened slightly, and in a lazy tone she voiced, “Song Pianzhen?”

 Jian Yixin: “….”
