After Breaking the Persona, I Reach the Peak of My Life

Chapter 1159 - 1156: The Graceful Gentleman Stands Amidst a Troubled World

Xu Renfei didn’t care what Bi Xia thought. As soon as he finished speaking, he pushed Bi Xia towards the makeup room, "Hurry and get your makeup on. If you’re worried about not filming well, use the makeup time to quickly look over the script and really think it over. Anyway, in this MV, it’s a forty-sixty split between us. You get forty, I get sixty. If you don’t perform well, I’ll cover for you. Just show your face with a sharp look, that’s all you need to do."Bi Xia couldn’t help but chuckle at Xu Renfei’s long speech, "With all that talking, why don’t you just act yourself?"

"Hey, with what you’re saying, if I could do it myself, why would I need you?" Xu Renfei didn’t bother arguing with Bi Xia and opened the makeup room door, walking in together with him. "Alright then, next we just need to pick out the clothes."

Saying this, he didn’t even look around before leading Bi Xia to the pile of costumes, pulling out a black ancient-style outfit covered in sequins, "How about this one? I notice my concert stylist always picks this kind for me."

"Or maybe this one? The white one. In those ancient novels, it’s the type of ’standing like orchids and jade trees, with a smile like moonlight embracing’... No, no, with your poker face it’ll probably be more like ’indifferent moonlight embracing.’ Forget it, it’d just freeze people to death, so maybe this one..."

"Little Jiu’er, how about you wear this green one, this one..." Xu Renfei picked up a green robe and was about to turn around and measure it on Bi Xia when he realized no one was behind him, "Hmm? Where did everyone go?"

"Oh, now you realize to look for people? I thought when you came in, you were just busy showing off your taste."

A teasing voice rang out, catching Xu Renfei by surprise as he hadn’t noticed anyone in the makeup room. Turning around, he saw not only one but several familiar faces.

Nelly Qiao was leaning against the makeup table, arms crossed, looking at Xu Renfei with amusement, still holding the green robe. "I think you might want to consider getting a new stylist. I’ve wanted to say this for ages. Your concert outfits are always blinding sequin costumes. Sure, they’re showy on stage, but too much of it just causes visual fatigue, you know?"

Listening to Nelly Qiao, Xu Renfei’s face stiffened, feeling like he’d embarrassed himself. He angrily threw down the robe, "Hmph, I like it!"

Nelly Qiao shrugged indifferently, "You like it, you like it. It’s not my embarrassment, but today..."

Nelly Qiao smiled broadly, "Both you and Little Nine are mine today, so listen to me about your taste, all those clothes you’re holding, they’re all OUT!"

"Says who!" Xu Renfei glared, "I personally selected each of these outfits! Who says they’re out just because you say so?"

Seeing Xu Renfei clash with her, Nelly Qiao wasn’t flustered and just shrugged, "Okay, let’s see in a bit. Honestly, those are indeed nice but not right for your MV or Little Nine’s character. Your personalities are very different, these clothes..."

She pointed with a complex expression, then shrugged again, "Aren’t right for Little Nine."

Xu Renfei: ...

And at that moment, the fitting room door opened. The young man lowered his eyes, leaning against the door with one hand, while the other was adjusting the robe at his legs. He seemed a bit impatient, yet curious; when he slightly raised an eyebrow, the starlight in his eyes fully revealed itself at that moment. The simple and plain white robe was unlike the complex and luxurious one Xu Renfei had earlier, instead adorned with delicate ink bamboo motifs.

It wasn’t ’standing like orchids and jade trees, with a smile like moonlight embracing,’ but truly ’a person as gentle as jade, an unparalleled gentleman.’ Pity was the inappropriately short jet-black hair lying flat against his head, otherwise, at first glance, he would really seem like a young gentleman time-traveled from ancient times.
