Chapter 128 New Friend (1/2)

The next day at the set of Taming Hearts…

In the scene, Chang'e was tending to her forever companion, the jade rabbit. However, due to the drastic change of the world that Chang'e could not recognize it anymore, she was perceived as a deranged person. Hence, she was targeted to be the next victim the moment she arrived in the next town.

Fortunately, Rika's character as Xu Yingyue followed her when she realized the direction she headed. When Xu Yingyue caught up with her, she had witnessed the scene where Chang'e was being surrounded by malicious men. Xu Yingyue wasn't surprised because the village Chang'e walked into was not like any other town as it was known to be a lawless town.

Hence, someone as heroic as Xu Yingyue started a fierce brawl to save innocent beauty. Unbeknownst to Xu Yingyue, her action only saved the fiend scoundrels from the terrifying power Chang'e was about to unleash earlier.

During the fight, Chang'e remained where she stood without any change of expression while the female lead was fiercely battling against the villains. Since Chang'e could not understand what was happening around her and the reason why Xu Yingyue followed her, she decided to leave.

However, although Chang'e could easily dodge the stray bullets and flying daggers, she was tripped because of the small rock underneath. She didn't notice it as her focused was on the sick jade rabbit that rests on her laid out palms.

”Cuuuut! Pass!” Arnold Shen shouted over the microphone. The moment Lexi and the rest heard him, they could finally let out a sigh of relief.

”Need a hand?” Rika, one of the leading actresses of the movie Taming Hearts offered her hand to Lexi who was sitting on the ground while her palms were placed side by side; just like her position when Arnold Shen saw her a month ago.

”Thanks,” Meekly smiling, Lexi reached out to Rika's hand and with her help, she managed to get back on her feet easily. Lexi then dusted off the little grass and dirt that clung on her ancient clothing.

”You should prepare me some rabbit costume for me since I'm playing as your jade rabbit~” Churu suggested as she landed on Lexi's shoulder. Apparently, she was forced to act as the invisible jade rabbit that only Chang'e could see.

”Lexi Yang… hmm,” Suddenly, Rika muttered Lexi's name as she slightly nodded her head upon understanding something.

”Hmm?” Raising her eyebrows in curiosity, Lexi hummed a questioning tune as she finished dusting off the dirt on her grand ancient clothing.

”I heard a lot about you, I just didn't expect that you'd be uh…” Rika contemplated what to say next as she realized what she was about to blurt out.

Despite Rika being a senior in the industry, she was known to be an understanding and humble A-list artist. Therefore, she knew that mentioning about Lexi's reputation would be very insensitive.

”It's fine, Senior. It was me who built that bad image for myself after all -- though I regret doing so.” Guessing what conflicted her senior, Lexi reassured while raising both her eyebrows and a subtle smile on the side of her lips.
