"I enjoy working out and keeping fit, and it has beco an indispensable part of my daily routine. I also like to delve into scripts, and when I’m not filming, I find classic films to watch and study acting techniques," she said.
Tang Fan asked, "Do you have a deep love for acting?"
He Jinxia nodded, "Acting is not just a hobby for , it’s a survival skill. I always want to improve."
Tang Fan said, "It sounds very solemn and sacred. Don’t you think it puts too much pressure on yourself, pushing too hard?"
He Jinxia shook her head. "No, never. I don’t even feel the pressure. I just want to progress and surpass myself."
Tang Fan asked, "If you had a large sum of money and could live the life you want, would you continue acting?"
He Jinxia replied without hesitation, "I would. Why wouldn’t I continue? Acting isn’t a burden to ; it pushes to improve and get better."
Tang Fan thought for a mont and changed the subject, "I see you’re not wearing anything on your wrists. Is it because you didn’t dare to wear anything for today’s eting?"
He Jinxia looked down and said honestly, "I don’t know. I didn’t think that much about it. My stylist arranged this outfit for today."
Tang Fan raised an eyebrow, "Why not arrange it yourself? Doubting your own taste?"
Surprisingly, He Jinxia nodded. She said sowhat sheepishly, "My style is a bit conservative. I prefer wearing ancient Hanfu over modern clothes because they give a sense of historical weight and glory. But my agent and stylist don’t let wear them casually."
Tang Fan smiled, "I like Hanfu too. Unfortunately, there are only a few important occasions each year when I can wear them. It’s not feasible to wear them regularly for work."
At this point, he hinted, "But you’ll be able to wear them soon."
He Jinxia smiled slightly, "Just by luck."
Tang Fan smiled broadly, "Be modest not, your artistry in acting is well acknowledged in the industry."
Their conversation sounded like they were speaking in riddles, but that wasn’t the case. When Tang Fan ntioned she would soon wear Hanfu, he was referring to the Berlin Film Festival.
Stars from Huaxia attending famous international award ceremonies often choose to wear Hanfu to promote Huaxia culture, as a patriotic act.
It’s not just Huaxia that does this; celebrities from other countries do the sa, wearing their cultural attire at significant award ceremonies.
He Jinxia caught the deeper aning in his words, modestly claiming it was re luck to attend Berlin, but Tang Fan didn’t think so.
So far, their conversation was a mutual probing.
anwhile, outside the coffee shop, Tony made a call to Luo You to report the possible news of He Jinxia dating.
Tony expressed his astonishnt and concern with an incredulous tone, hoping to hear a similar reaction from Luo You, but Luo You responded nonchalantly with just an "Oh."
Tony: ???
After a silence, not hearing any more from the other end of the phone, Tony furrowed his brows and hesitantly asked, "That’s it?"
Luo You replied, "What else? Stop her, Jinxia? Don’t joke. Jinxia is an adult; she can think for herself, has her own ideas. Even if she is dating, I can’t stop her, I can only guide her more."
Tony muttered softly, "Why do I feel like you’re not surprised at all?"
The corners of Luo You’s mouth lifted silently into a smirk. Of course, he had known about it several months earlier than Tony, the ti for being shocked had long passed; now was a ti for calm and laissez-faire.
Suddenly, Tony’s voice on the other end of the phone beca excited, "Do you know who Jinxia’s boyfriend is?"
Luo You decisively said, "I don’t know."
Tony skeptically said, "Denying it so quickly, you’re making it too obvious."
Luo You calmly responded, "Is that so? But I really don’t know."
He even advised Tony, "Jinxia has her own thoughts. If she really has a boyfriend and wants to tell you, she will naturally do so. If she doesn’t want to talk about it, it probably ans things are not settled yet. Don’t ask her, lest you annoy her."
Tony, not giving up, said, "Do you really not know?"
Luo You, with a smug smile, though his words were firm, "I don’t know!"
It always annoyed Tony how he always opposed him. Hehe, he just wouldn’t say, not a word.
After Tony hung up the phone, he pondered for a long ti, feeling as if ants were crawling in his heart. For so reason, he always felt that Luo You was hiding sothing from him, likely related to Jinxia’s boyfriend!
Ah, how frustrating!
Not long after, the waiter brought the puffs and cappuccino that He Jinxia had ordered.
He Jinxia sipped her cappuccino, tasting the first sweet and tender touch of milk froth, and with another sip, she could taste the bitterness and richness of the coffee, tinged with a bit of acidity.
Normally, she did not drink coffee, so she was quite curious about this taste.
Tang Fan noticed and couldn’t help but ask, "Don’t you drink cappuccino often?"
He Jinxia nodded, "Not just cappuccino, I don’t really drink coffee at all. If I need to wake up, I prefer drinking tea."
Upon hearing this, Tang Fan could already paint a complete picture of He Jinxia in his mind: a woman who loved Huaxia’s culture, whose every action exuded an ancient charm, even her preferences carried an ancient style.
No wonder such a person could quickly make a na in the entertainnt industry; her age did not match her cultural depth and cultivation—at least not compared to other young people her age, who weren’t as composed as she.
He Jinxia initially thought Tang Fan would continue to discuss so aimless questions to better understand her character, but the next second, Tang Fan asked an unexpectedly specific question—
"What do you think about the object called a clock?"
It had only been about ten minutes since she entered the coffee shop, and He Jinxia was sowhat startled. So soon, into the main topic?
Wait, that’s not right. Didn’t Luo You tell Tony that luxury brands don’t ask these kinds of questions?
In her ears, Tang Fan’s voice drifted lightly, "You seem surprised. Can you tell why?"
He Jinxia instinctively said, "They all say you wouldn’t ask about the brand."
Tang Fan laughed, a sly sparkle in his eyes and a hint of teasing in his tone, "Indeed, I didn’t ask about the brand, I was just asking about clocks."
He Jinxia silently berated herself in her mind, but clocks were exactly what Vanks was most famous for.
Though she didn’t know why this topic ca up during their conversation, she still thought about it carefully.
Tang Fan did not hurry her, quietly waiting for her response.
