Gorgeous Female Tenants

Chapter 486: Entering the Auditorium

Xu Xiangbei could even hear Lu Xiaomei’s deliberately softened breathing behind the door, so he just smiled at Gu Xinyan and said, "Get some rest early, I’m going back to my room."

Suddenly acting mischievously, Xu Xiangbei charged towards Lu Xiaomei’s room, waving his hands like claws and trying to scare her, "I’ve turned into a zombie, I’m coming to eat your brains."

There was a thunderous noise from Lu Xiaomei’s room, and then a loud bang as she tightly shut the door.

Gu Xinyan laughed so hard she almost couldn’t breathe: "Stop scaring her, she’s really afraid of zombies, she gets too scared to watch zombie movies every time."

The auditorium of the Qinghai Film Studio.

Xu Xiangbei once again stood in front of the auditorium at Qinghai Film Studio, remembering the celebration before the start of "Sword Rain Heroic Love Register" as if it was just yesterday.

He hadn’t expected that a year later, he would appear at the wrap-up celebration of the film.

A year ago, Xu Xiangbei had brought Gu Xinyan here in a wheelchair, and today, Gu Xinyan was ready to make a major change.

Before coming, Gu Xinyan had decided that she wanted Xu Xiangbei to support her as she walked step by step into the auditorium.

Gu Xinyan could already walk more than fifty steps without falling, but walking directly into the auditorium without a wheelchair, having to go through several steps, requiring at least a hundred steps, was a big challenge for her.

Xu Xiangbei looked at Gu Xinyan’s eyes that sparkled like stars, warning her, "Think it through, if you overdo it, your legs might hurt, you might even injure your tendons again, and you’ll have to start all over again."

Gu Xinyan’s beautiful face flushed with excitement, her tone utterly resolute: "It’s alright. I came to Earth Sea to shoot this film, and now that I achieved my wish, I want to present myself in a new way. I want to walk in and let them see."

Admiring Gu Xinyan’s courage, Xu Xiangbei took out a Taiqing Pill from his pocket: "This can relieve the pain and accelerate your blood circulation, remember, don’t exceed a hundred steps, once you reach a hundred, you need to return to the wheelchair."

Gu Xinyan took the Taiqing Pill: "Thank you, having you by my side, I feel so much better."

Every time Gu Xinyan fell, when the pain seemed unbearable, Xu Xiangbei was there to save her. As long as Xu Xiangbei was by her side, she felt greatly comforted.

Gu Xinyan held onto Xu Xiangbei’s large hand, feeling the warmth of his palm, filling her whole body with strength, and stood up from in front of the wheelchair.

Lu Xiaomei also watched Gu Xinyan excitedly, tears of emotion welling in her eyes.

Walking, which is ordinary for others, was incredibly difficult and immensely important for Gu Xinyan. She gritted her teeth, wearing a confident smile as she walked towards the auditorium hall.

One step, two steps, three steps, Gu Xinyan silently counted in her heart, and Xu Xiangbei counted along with her. On the eighty-ninth step, Gu Xinyan’s long, slender legs crossed the steps of the auditorium.

The familiar faces were still inside the auditorium: the self-proclaimed dashing Huang Qinghai, the resilient Director Feng, the young and handsome Dongfang Bai, the crew members, and actors, all gathered, chatting and discussing life...

As Gu Xinyan walked in, holding onto Xu Xiangbei and carrying her pure white dress like snow, everyone in the auditorium was instantly drawn to her.

The noisy auditorium immediately quieted down, silence fell, and all eyes rested on Gu Xinyan.

Besides Gu Xinyan’s fresh and refined appearance, what shocked them most was her walking in.

In everyone’s impression, Gu Xinyan was someone physically challenged, who could only shoot scenes sitting in a wheelchair; everyone had a touch of sympathy when they looked at her.

Her chest was adorned with a glistening blue gemstone, her face was elegantly noble yet fresh and refined, her smile charming and captivating like Fairy Chang Er from the Guanghan Palace.

A loud round of applause erupted, with everyone cheering for Gu Xinyan.

President Huang of Qinghai Film and Television, his eyes bright with excitement, quickly approached.

While inspecting Gu Xinyan, he continually praised, "Our future star, you’re so beautiful today, I did make the right choice picking you as the lead actress, my eyesight is quite unique after all."

Blushing slightly at the leader’s praises, Gu Xinyan nodded, smiling graciously: "Thank you, President Huang, I will strive in acting to earn more money for the company."

Seeing Gu Xinyan’s politeness, Huang Qinghai was overjoyed, his eyes leering at Gu Xinyan’s alluring chest: "Xin Yan, selecting you from so many auditionees, employing a newcomer as the lead actress, the pressure on me was immense, so don’t let me down, keep up the good work."

Seeing Huang Qinghai’s shameless demeanor made Xu Xiangbei feel sick; a year ago, Huang Qinghai forced him into a match with Boxing King Jason just to select Gu Xinyan as the lead actress, and now he was here to claim credit shamelessly.

Noticing Xu Xiangbei glaring at him, Huang Qinghai felt a bit guilty, toned down his impertinence, knowing Gu Xinyan was Xu Xiangbei’s girlfriend, not daring to entertain too many thoughts.

He gave a forced smile to Xu Xiangbei, "Younger Brother Xu, you’re quite the Flower Guardian, enviable indeed. And not just that, within this year, you’ve become the president of the Thunderbird Group with billions of assets, truly admirable."

Considering Huang Qinghai was the head of Qinghai Film and Television and Gu Xinyan was under contract to act in films for years, Xu Xiangbei, though disdaining his character, couldn’t embarrass him publicly, so he returned the smile and said, "President Huang, you flatter me. My assets are nothing much in your eyes."

Director Feng recognized Xu Xiangbei and came over, stroking his white goatee and smiling, "Dr. Xu, long time no see."

"Director Feng, hello, you look radiant, in great health."

"Those exercise methods you showed me last time really worked; my long-time chronic back pain has greatly improved."

"Like water doesn’t decay when running, door hinges don’t rot when swaying, as long as you exercise regularly, your health will vastly improve."

Huang Qinghai interjected, "Old Feng, stop calling Younger Brother Xu, Dr. Xu, he’s now the president of the Thunderbird Group Company, a billionaire."

Director Feng had heard of this but was still a bit surprised after Huang Qinghai confirmed it, looking amazed and admiring, "I know the Thunderbird Company, we bought gaming rights from them to adapt films. For Dr. Xu to become the president at such a young age, truly remarkable."

Facing Director Feng’s praise, Xu Xiangbei smiled somewhat proudly, "Despite being a company president, I’m still a doctor, so Director Feng calling me Dr. Xu is fine, it sounds better to me."

After chatting with others for a while, Gu Xinyan felt waves of soreness washing over her legs.

She knew she needed to return to her wheelchair soon, but since she wasn’t walking, only standing and chatting, she didn’t go back immediately but gritted her teeth and persisted.
