Chapter 167 Buried Pain
In the afternoon, coming out of the set, Li Jing was in an exceptionally good mood.
Not only had he smoothly finished his two scenes for the day, but he had also unexpectedly met Liu Shou, a professor from the Celestial Sea Drama Academy.
On the way back, Li Jing didn’t notice anything amiss with Yang Xiaoxiu, just talking about topics he wanted to, most of which were inevitably about today’s acting.
Getting recognition from Wen Lan on his first acting experience was already better than many classically trained actors, which was indeed something worth celebrating for Li Jing.
So, Yang Xiaoxiu continuously smiled and agreed, even though deep down inside, her heart was shattered.
She was already down because her scenes were cut, and seeing Li Jing happy for passing his acting tests felt even more miserable in contrast.
But even if she was upset, she knew she couldn’t show it in front of Li Jing.
In her eyes, only after going through considerable effort had she been able to get closer to Li Jing. If she were to take herself seriously at this point and complain extensively in front of him, not only would it be pointless, but it might also wear away any goodwill he had just developed towards her.
More importantly, she understood the principle of her relationship with Li Jing, which was one of equivalent exchange.
By relying on her professional skills to teach him acting, she received compensation and his goodwill.
If she were to express her needs and discomfort without providing equivalent value to Li Jing, she wasn’t sure whether he would feel dissatisfied with her because of it.
That was the last thing she wanted to see.
