Ma’am You Have Been Uncovered

Chapter 355: Tian Xiaoxiao’s Peak, Violinist of Performance-Level

After getting off the plane, they took two different cars and fell asleep on the way. After the bumpy journey, they arrived at six in the morning.

At this time, there were no lights in the small town, and the sky was slightly bright.

Glancing at the slightly dilapidated mountain city, Sister Wen blankly turned to Tian Xiaoxiao and hesitantly asked, “Is this really a scenic spot?”

Tian Xiaoxiao didn’t think anything was wrong and just massaged her sore shoulders. “What’s wrong with this place? The natural scenery is very good. Cheer up.”

“I can’t cheer up at the thought of you rejecting the role,” Sister Wen said unpleasantly.

Tian Xiaoxiao stopped under the hotel according to Qin Ran’s location. When they entered, she took out her phone and called Qin Ran.

Sister Wen asked the staff to book a room, only to be told that the hotel had been booked.

“Xiaoxiao, something’s wrong…” Sister Wen glanced around the hotel hesitantly.

As she talked, Qin Ran came downstairs in her coat.

The staff recognized her and didn’t say anything when she brought the two of them upstairs. After they left, he thought for a while and informed the director.

**

Upstairs, in Qin Ran’s room.

“You only brought these few things?” Qin Ran flipped through Tian Xiaoxiao’s bag.

Tian Xiaoxiao directly flopped down on her bed. “I’m not even here to film, so I don’t need to bring so many things.”

Today’s shooting started at 7 am.

Qin Ran checked the time and saw that it was 6:10 am. She went to the bathroom to change her clothes and then opened her closet. “Go find an outfit for yourself.”

Tian Xiaoxiao didn’t want to get up from the bed. She folded her hands and propped her chin up while laying face down. “Are we going out to play? It’s still early, and there’s no one in town. Can’t I sleep a while more?”

Having changed her clothes, Qin Ran arranged her collars, glanced over, and coldly said, “Go change.”

After spending more than a month together, Tian Xiaoxiao knew that Qin Ran would soon become impatient.

Touching her nose sheepishly, she stood up to pick her clothes from Qin Ran’s closet.

“Wait a moment.” Qin Ran glanced at her phone. “I’ll go down and get breakfast.”

Looking at how the clothes were all from Brand L, Tian Xiaoxiao silently mouthed “local tyrant,” and then reached out to try them on.

Her figure was similar to Qin Ran’s, but they had different styles. Qin Ran usually dressed in a sporty style. Tian Xiaoxiao casually took out a blue sweater. The tag was still there, so it was probably unworn.

She obediently went to the bathroom to change into it. While sitting on the chair and drinking water, Sister Wen crossed her legs in surprise. “You’re so obedient.”

While talking, someone knocked on the door.

She put down her teacup and walked over. “Qin Ran, did you forget your wallet?”

She opened the door without thinking.

Outside stood a slender figure.

He stood against the light, but his face could still be seen clearly. His white fingers were still raised to knock on the door, and he exuded a natural charm.

The man’s delicate eyebrows paused, then he smiled politely. “You’re Ran Ran’s friend?”

Sister Wen stiffened and just made a very stupid gesture. She closed the door with a “bang,” then opened it again.

The tall and handsome figure was still there, and his delicate eyebrows were still looking at her gently and politely.

Tian Xiaoxiao came out from the bathroom and casually asked, “Sister Wen, is it Ran Ran?”

Her voice finally returned Sister Wen to her senses.

She spoke blankly as if her voice was floating, sounding soft and small, “Qin- Qin…”

“Hello.” Qin Xiuchen’s dark eyes were slightly deeper.

Sister Wen reacted and immediately gave way for him to enter.

Tian Xiaoxiao poured herself a glass of water without seeing him, then pulled a chair noisily before sitting down. She carelessly turned her head in the direction of the door. “Ran Ran, you bought breakfast so quickly… quickly…”

Three of them stood at the door.

Qin Ran only went downstairs for the lunchboxes and came back very quickly.

“I was just about to call you, but here you are.” She wasn’t at all surprised to see Qin Xiuchen and just came in to put the lunch boxes on the table.

Lifting her chin towards Tian Xiaoxiao, she straightened up and said, “Tian Xiaoxiao, my friend. That’s Sister Wen, her manager.”

Qin Xiuchen greeted them with patience and etiquette.

“This is…” Qin Ran turned to him, then rubbed her chin and paused for three seconds.

Qin Xiuchen’s back was straight, his eyebrows were relaxed, and his mouth was arched in a slight smile.

After thinking about it, she still reached out to introduce him to Tian Xiaoxiao. “This is my Uncle, Film Emperor Qin. You can call him Uncle Qin.”

Qin Xiuchen coughed and tried to maintain his Film Emperor Qin’s model. He spoke very kindly to Tian Xiaoxiao, “Tian Xiaoxiao, right? Do you have a Weibo? Come, let’s follow each other…”

This was the first time Qin Ran recognized him as her Uncle to her friend.

Film Emperor Qin felt like he was floating.

Tian Xiaoxiao was stiff throughout.

After the introduction, she thought of something and opened the lunch box. She handed one to Qin Xiuchen and asked, “Do you have a makeup artist? She didn’t bring anything with her.”

Qin Ran didn’t put on makeup and was too impatient for it.

It was mainly because she didn’t mix in the entertainment industry and didn’t care about her image. But Tian Xiaoxiao was different.

“Yes.” Qin Xiuchen took the lunch box with slender fingers and replied in a gentle voice, “We’ll directly go to the second floor of building 201 after eating. I’ll take you guys there. Try to be as early as possible, the show starts at 7:30 am.”

“Okay.” Qin Ran smiled.

Qin Xiuchen glanced at her, then paused at the thought of something else. “You still have another friend…”

“He’s going to be late.” Qin Ran opened the lunch box and took out the food. She was casual at the mention of him. “Don’t worry about him, just go to the scene and wait.”

Qin Xiuchen didn’t ask further after seeing how casual she was.

They exchanged a few more words, then Qin Xiuchen returned to his room to prepare.

He closed the door.

In Qin Xiuchen’s room, the manager came in with a notebook while humming a song, and he couldn’t help but ask Qin Ling, “Has your Uncle gone crazy today?”

Qin Ling silently picked up a piece of bread. “I don’t know.”

**

The two people in Qin Ran’s room had yet to react and were still frozen on the spot.

Qin Xiuchen alone covered half the sky in the entertainment industry. A few years ago, he had even won international awards. Only he could reach this point in the past 20 years, and over half of the actors set their goals as “acting with Film Emperor Qin.”

Tian Xiaoxiao was an unpopular newbie who had only seen Qin Xiuchen on television before, never in real life.

“Sister Wen… just now, did I see… Film Emperor Qin?” Holding the table, she looked down at Qin Xiuchen’s account on her phone. “And we even followed each other?”

As her manager, Sister Wen was older than her, so her temperament was more stable. But even at this time, she inevitably felt erratic. “I think so.”

Qin Ran pulled a stool and sat down. She took out a box of soy milk, plugged the straw in, and handed it to Tian Xiaoxiao, looking unruly. “Calm down.”

Sitting down and taking a sip, Tian Xiaoxiao still couldn’t calm down. “Ran Ran, Film Emperor Qin became Uncle Qin?”

“Yeah.” Qin Ran also took a sip of soy milk, lazily smiling. Then, she slowly took a bite of breakfast. “You’ll be recording a variety show with him later.”

“I’m recording a show with Film Emperor Qin?!” Tian Xiaoxiao almost fainted.

“And Sister Ran.” Qin Ran slowly threw another bomb.

Tian Xiaoxiao and Sister Wen were completely speechless.

Qin Ran finished eating and propped her chin up. “What’s with this expression, are you unhappy?”

Tian Xiaoxiao glanced at her with a crying expression. Happy?

No…

She was already scared to death now!!

**

At 7:20, Tian Xiaoxiao came out of the dressing room. Since it was an outdoor shoot, the makeup artist had only put on light waterproof makeup for her.

“Sister Wen, am I still an extra today?” Tian Xiaoxiao glanced at Qin Ran and Film Emperor Qin, who were both waiting for her at the stairs, and faintly asked.

Sister Wen gasped, her heart still beating frantically. She grabbed Tian Xiaoxiao’s waist. “No, you’re probably the European emperor’s ancestor. To think that such Lady Luck would shine on you…”

Filming a variety show with Film Emperor Qin and Film Empress Jing.

Especially…

Film Emperor Qin had become Uncle Qin…

Thinking of this, Sister Wen glanced at Tian Xiaoxiao uncomprehendingly. “Why don’t I have a friend like Qin Ran?”

“Ran Ran…”

“No.” She grabbed Tian Xiaoxiao’s hand. “From now on, she’s your Father!”

Tian Xiaoxiao was speechless.

The cameras were already ready at the entrance of the stairs.

Today’s schedule started.

Qin Xiuchen’s attitude towards Tian Xiaoxiao as an elder was very friendly. Jing Wen knew that she was Qin Ran’s friend and also warmly greeted her.

She asked about her basic information, then her school, what her hobbies were, and so on.

Tian Xiaoxiao was stunned. Did reality shows ask about these?

Fortunately, her resume was pretty good, so she answered them one by one.

The director, Jing Wen, and the others all heaved a sigh of relief.

Thank God she wasn’t a Beijing University school tyrant.

“Finally, a normal person came.” The director searched Tian Xiaoxiao’s information, and his eyes lit up. “This newcomer has a good foundation and looks unique. Film Emperor Qin looks very optimistic about her. With Film Emperor Qin’s promotion, it won’t be hard for her to be popular.”

He continued scrolling down the information and was shocked to see a certain line. “She’s even a powerful violinist who has reached the performance level. This actress has the strength and looks. I think we can alter the show a little bit…”

Although Qin Ran was present, the appearance of all the actresses in the program group was greatly reduced, but Tian Xiaoxiao was unique and was someone to watch.

The director was very satisfied.

Although Qin Ran’s friend wasn’t a big shot, she wasn’t from Beijing University and was even an insider. Watching her performance under the camera, he felt her sense of variety was rather good. Since Film Emperor Qin was promoting her as well, Tian Xiaoxiao would certainly become popular after the show.

If she became popular, it would be good for the show too.

It was killing two birds with one stone.

“Film Emperor Qin’s niece has another friend coming?” the director asked the staff.

The staff had already asked about it. “He’s probably coming at 7:30 directly.”

“Okay.” The director nodded and followed the photographer. “The variety show procedure has to change a little.”

With Tian Xiaoxiao around, the program crew didn’t really care who was the other friend that Qin Ran invited. After all, Tian Xiaoxiao was interesting and was even a violinist at the performance level…

No one in the entertainment industry was at such a high level.

**

Qin Ran and the others arrived at the shooting location.

Tian Xiaoxiao originally couldn’t let loose, but after spending a few minutes with the easy-going Qin Xiuchen and Jing Wen, she finally got accustomed to the show.

Today’s shooting location was on the three-way street in the ancient town instead of on the mountain. The streets had been emptied, and many mission points had been cleared.

When the four arrived, Bai Tiantian and Jing Wen’s cousin were already waiting there.

“I heard that Sister Qin Ran’s friend is here. I wonder who it is?” Bai Tiantian looked at the end.

Jing Wen’s cousin and the others were also curious.

In the end, Qin Xiuchen, Jing Wen, and the others came over. Bai Tiantian smiled subconsciously.

Her gaze passed by Qin Xiuchen and the others one by one. When her eyes landed on Tian Xiaoxiao, her smile suddenly faded—

Why was it her?

Bai Tiantian frowned, but she wasn’t too bothered. Tian Xiaoxiao was indeed a celebrity, but she was an unpopular one.

Film Emperor Qin definitely didn’t recognize Tian Xiaoxiao, so he hadn’t invited any friends for Qin Ran.

The group of four arrived.

Seeing that it was almost 7:30, Jing Wen smiled and sat on the door frame. “Little Ran Ran, if your other friend is late, you’ll have to punish him.”

Qin Ran asked the director for her phone and indifferently replied, “He took a detour… Oh, he’s already here.”
