The Actress Is Not What She Seems

By a twist of fate, Meng Xunsheng was forced to drop out of school and saddled with a huge debt, so she became a paparazzo. A senior gave her earnest advice: "If you want to make a name for yourself overnight, tail the hottest star with the most buzz, break a juicy story, and make big money!" Meng Xunsheng knew nothing about showbiz. By chance, she ran into award-winning actress He Qiuyi, who was filming nearby. He Qiuyi had countless fans, no scandals anywhere online, and was widely recognized as the perfect actress in showbiz. She was popular, she was a hot topic, and she was an award-winning actress. Meng Xunsheng rubbed her chin and set her sights on He Qiuyi, gripping her thousand-yuan phone. On the first day she tailed He Qiuyi, something unexpected happened. Beside a thicket, a drunken male actor tried to grope He Qiuyi, mumbling sweet nothings at her. He Qiuyi seemed unable to fight back as he backed her into a corner. The actor was getting more and more out of hand. Unable to watch any longer, Meng Xunsheng leaped out from her hiding place. She shouted and kicked him flying, repeatedly calling him a scumbag and trash. A soft, pale hand pressed down on her grimy one, and a quiet voice told her to stop. After her heroic rescue, Meng Xunsheng came to her senses and realized she'd given herself away. Before she could make a quick getaway, Actress He tilted her head and smiled at her. "Are you the little shadow who's been following me around?" The woman smelled so good, and her voice was so gentle. Meng Xunsheng's ears turned red without her noticing. On her first day under contract as He Qiuyi's assistant and bodyguard, Meng Xunsheng was told to buy a 500 cc pearl milk tea at 36 degrees, with 60% sugar, light ice, and no pearls. He Qiuyi kindly reminded her, "Don't think you can trick me and run off. You signed a contract, remember?" Meng Xunsheng: "..." Where had she gotten the idea that He Qiuyi was thoughtful and gentle?
