Superstar's Development Diary-Chapter 808 - 810: Shattered State of Mind

She stayed quietly by herself under the deck, her head slightly bowed, her hair tied up high behind her head, revealing her well-defined face.

The makeup added a few touches of toughness to her face, a sense of masculinity, quite manly in fact.

Seeing her staring at Angus with admiration at that moment, the assistant who showed her around yesterday felt sorry for her and couldn’t help but comfort her: "Angus grew up at sea since he was a child. It’s normal that he’s more capable than you, don’t feel discouraged."

He Jinxia was taken aback, she was just lost in thought, did she look that disappointed?

She didn’t explain this wonderful misunderstanding but said mildly, "Thank you for your reminder, I will adjust my mindset."

The assistant thought for a moment and shared some methods she knew for dealing with seasickness.

"I’ve heard from people nearby that some passengers take seasickness medicine in advance, but those pills just make the body fall asleep quickly to avoid the discomfort of the rocking boat. So, you shouldn’t take seasickness pills. Instead, you can suck on some cool lozenges to refresh your mind."

He Jinxia raised an eyebrow, nodded slightly, and said appreciatively, "Thank you, you’re such a kind and considerate girl."

The assistant blushed, lowered her head, and sneaked a glance at her. Just for a second, she met He Jinxia’s gaze, froze for a moment, then suddenly turned away without saying a word.

He Jinxia lightly furrowed her brows. Was there something inappropriate in what she just said?

After finishing his scene, it was soon He Jinxia’s turn. Thanks to the assistant’s reminder, or perhaps because her body had subtly adjusted to the rocking, she managed to speak her lines with a calm expression after three takes.

"Cut!" Stanlanca’s call for a cut was like a timely rain that made the struggling He Jinxia immediately collapse to the ground.

Staff nearby quickly helped her down; a slightly cool sea breeze blew in. Just as she got off the boat, He Jinxia’s face changed slightly, and she quickly ran to where the garbage was placed nearby.

Soon, the sound of vomiting could be heard, something the crew was all too familiar with.

This group of crew members was Stanlanca’s usual team; they had the experience of filming three pieces already. They had seen every kind of situation with actors. Not to mention female stars, some male stars threw up even more badly than He Jinxia at the beginning.

Frankly, others in the crew were quite surprised that she managed to get a take done.

But alas, the outcome of toughing it out was just delayed vomiting; you can’t immediately adapt to the swaying sensation all at once.

After throwing up, He Jinxia’s face was much paler, but the hardened makeup didn’t reveal her usual complexion.

Angus stood by, having already instructed his assistant to warm up a towel, planning to hand it to her.

As soon as he moved, he saw that someone else had already gone ahead to give He Jinxia a towel — it was that female assistant from yesterday!

Angus frowned, looking a bit displeased, cursing under his breath: "Why isn’t she staying by the director’s side, crowding around He Jinxia instead?"

Suppressing his inner dissatisfaction, he continued forward, only to be overtaken by another female staff member who walked toward He Jinxia.

From Angus’s angle, he could see the new female staff member patting He Jinxia’s back, gently whispering words that seemed to be comforting.

Angus paused with a strange expression, wait a second, since when was He Jinxia so popular with the women in the crew?

Whoa, hold on, wasn’t this his kind of treatment before, why were all these women now gathered around He Jinxia?

Angus, puzzled, walked over and said, "Jinxia, are you feeling okay?"

He Jinxia forced a smile, "Thank you, I’m fine."

Angus extended the towel in his hand, but before he could say anything, a female staff member blocked his way and turned back to tell Jinxia, "Rest well, there’s another scene in the afternoon, you can’t shoot if you haven’t recovered your energy."

He Jinxia smiled at them, "Thank you all for your concern, you’re all kind angels."

The female staff, delighted by her compliment, noticed that being a Huaxia person, He Jinxia appeared very youthful, and some even unconsciously thought of her as one of their own children, quickly saying:

"Come, let me help you to rest!"

"I have some calming essential oils here, put a drop on the pillow later, it will help relax your body."

"I, I... I’ll stay and look after her, what if she feels like throwing up again when sleeping at noon? Jinxia came without an assistant this time, no one is there to take good care of her."

...

These women gabbed as they helped He Jinxia away, leaving Angus standing there alone with a towel, turning into a statue.

He stood there dazed for quite a while before snapping back to reality, looking down at the towel in his hand, wondering what on earth had happened?

A staff member who had watched the whole situation walked over, gloating, "Oh, even the ever-popular Angus has moments when his charm doesn’t work, huh?"

Other staff chimed in, "Could it be that his flirtatious ways have provoked the other women in the crew?"

"I remember Angus was flirting with Lisa a few days ago, why isn’t Lisa giving him any attention today?"

"Lisa, ah, Lisa went to comfort He Jinxia. The new female lead is incredible, not long after arriving, she’s won over the other female staff members in the crew!"

"Hey, don’t you think that He Jinxia looks a bit androgynous and particularly mighty after makeup? She is taller than the average woman, like perfect model material, maybe those women truly did fancy her?"

"Haha, He Jinxia is indeed great, responsible and dependable, more appealing to women compared to philandering men who leave love notes all over!"

...

The staff members kept exchanging words, making Angus quite embarrassed.

Yet these older men’s mischievous fun seemed to stem from enjoying Angus’s on-the-verge-but-cannot-release expression～～～

Angus fumed with anger from their words, ignored them, and turned toward Jinxia’s room.

Hmm, he refused to believe that his masculine charm wouldn’t work on He Jinxia!

As for the other women, they blush with just a few teasing words, shallow!

Arriving at Jinxia’s room, Angus knocked, but the door was answered by Ella, the female assistant who showed He Jinxia around yesterday.

Ella was stunned, not expecting to see Angus, and her face immediately turned red as she lowered her head without saying anything.

Angus’s once dazzling smile had lost half of its effect.
