Chapter 911: Chapter 911: Stealing the Spotlight

She picked up the groceries lying on the ground and turned to head for the kitchen.

Seeing that Cheng Feiyang was still standing there motionless, Yang Xiaoxi couldn’t help but widen her eyes and exclaim, "I said I was going to change my clothes, why are you still here?"

Cheng Feiyang replied, "You’re just changing your coat, not your underclothes. I’m not in the way, am I?" The jacket she was wearing covered down to her knees. When she had fallen earlier, her coat had gotten dirty, but her pants were clean.

"You..."

Yang Xiaoxi was exasperated, yet she couldn’t argue with him. Just as she was about to get out of bed to fetch her clothes, Cheng Feiyang interjected.

"No need to get off the bed like that; you might fall again, and I’d have to help you up. Just tell me which one you want, and I’ll get it for you."

Yang Xiaoxi thought about it and agreed since he was just standing there, why not make use of him, "The yellow cotton-padded coat in the closet."

Cheng Feiyang handed it to her and then turned around, "Go ahead and change. I’m not looking. Don’t accuse me of taking advantage when I haven’t seen anything."

"You better not."

Yang Xiaoxi pouted as she changed her clothes. When she looked up, she saw Cheng Feiyang peering at the script laid out on the table. In a panic, she hollered out.

"Hey, why are you messing with my stuff?"

"This is yours?" Cheng Feiyang asked, looking at her with the script in hand curiously, "Isn’t this what actors use for filming? Are you going to act in a movie?"

"That’s none of your business, put it down now." Yang Xiaoxi was somewhat nervous. Although it had been decided that she and Shen Mianmian were set for the roles, the announcement had not yet been made public, and it was supposed to be kept secret.

"If you don’t answer me, I might just take the script with me," Cheng Feiyang said, beginning to walk away.

"Don’t go," Yang Xiaoxi hastily called out to stop him. "I’ll tell you, but you can’t let it slip. It’s supposed to be confidential."

"I don’t blab!"

Cheng Feiyang retorted.

"That’s the script, Mianmian and I are planning to act in a movie."

Yang Xiaoxi didn’t know why, but even though she really disliked Cheng Feiyang, she inexplicably trusted that he wouldn’t tell anyone.

"You two are really going to act?" Cheng Feiyang was shocked, "Neither of you has studied acting; suddenly, out of the blue, you want to act in movies?"

"Mind your own business," Yang Xiaoxi glared at him, "I’ve told you already, now give me the script."

Seeing that she was on the verge of coming down to snatch it from him if he didn’t hand it over, Cheng Feiyang didn’t tease her any longer and simply threw the script next to her.

"Does Brother He know about this?"

Cheng Feiyang had already found out that Shen Mianmian was Ruan Yiqian’s sister, and at the time, the news had shocked him. However, since he heard the matter was still under wraps, he kept his mouth shut.

He had not expected that, after being shocked by Shen Mianmian’s family background, he would be surprised yet again by this news.

"It was Brother He who took us to audition," Yang Xiaoxi proclaimed proudly, lifting her chin a smidge, "Mianmian and I passed the audition in one go; Director Lu speaks highly of us."

Cheng Feiyang scoffed, "Is the male lead decided yet?"

"They hadn’t chosen one when we were there; I don’t know about now," Yang Xiaoxi told the truth, "Director Lu is very demanding; they might still be choosing."

Hearing this, Cheng Feiyang further inquired, "This Director Lu you mentioned, is it Lu Nian?"

"You know him too?" Finding a common topic, the tone of Yang Xiaoxi’s voice even improved a bit.

"He approached my cousin for a film before, but she turned him down. I didn’t expect he’d end up finding you guys." After saying that, his brow furrowed. Knowing Cheng Xining’s temper, she’d likely kick up a fuss since she didn’t like others touching things she had refused, feeling as though they were taking her possessions.

Cheng Xining had always been like that since she was young; if she didn’t want something, nobody else was allowed to touch it, or she would feel like someone had taken her belongings.
