However, judging from the fact that there are no red marks on her face, she should be fine.
"Like a kitten being scratched," Shen Xunye said softly, his tone carrying a faint hint of amusement.
Pain? That little bit of pain is nothing.
Seeing that beautiful face flushed with anger and humiliation because of him, Shen Xunye felt incredibly satisfied.
He'd be even happier if he saw the same expression elsewhere.
"That's what thick-skinned people are like," Shen Qiang chuckled, pulling Chi Li back to the sofa. "You couldn't cut through them even with a knife."
Chi Li chuckled ingratiatingly, subtly withdrawing her hand. "It's time for Teacher Shen to give her feedback on our performance."
"No rush, let's hear what they have to say first." Shen Qiang first looked at Jiang Lele, "What are their thoughts?"
"My impression is... it seems like she acted much better than me." Jiang Lele scratched her head and spoke honestly.
Before Shen Qiang could ask, Wei Xuan followed behind Jiang Lele and said, "I got a little caught up in it, and even thought about going up to break up the fight."
"And you two?" Shen Qiang chuckled softly, then asked the remaining two.
Fang Jin hesitated before speaking, "... You got into character very quickly and were very professional."
Xie Weishui also chimed in with a compliment. "Full of sexual tension, great chemistry between them."
[My goodness, Xie Weishui finally said something sensible.]
[That's right, the chemistry between Night Ashes Dawn is the strongest! [Cool]]
[Indeed, it wouldn't have been as effective if someone else had played the role.]
[I want to be there to see it; the wedding night festivities must have already started. [Nosebleed]]
[Actually, even without acting, these two have incredible sexual tension. [laughing and crying emoji]]
Xie Weishui didn't know how the comments interpreted his words, but his purpose in saying them was simply to sever any possibility between Chi Li and Shen Qiang, and to bind himself and Shen Xunye even closer together.
Despite Shen Xunye's superior physical condition, he was still a newcomer with no background, and his actual help to Chi Li was limited.
But Shen Qiang is different... As long as he continues to like Chi Li, he will definitely show his sincerity just to pursue her.
Therefore... reinforcing the impression that the two are already bound together is not what he wants, but it is the biggest obstacle he can currently overcome...
"Indeed." Shen Qiang turned around and looked at Shen Xunye, who had squeezed in again and was sitting next to Chi Li. "For these kinds of romantic scenes, it's actually very important for the actors to look well-matched."
Chi Li listened attentively, "You're right."
He personally selected his bromance partner; how could she not be worthy?
... A moment of pride.
Shen Xunye nodded in agreement. "That's human language."
"You two... are both very talented." Shen Qiang didn't argue with his rebellious younger brother, but instead praised them both. "However, I also noticed a problem."
"What's the problem?" Chi Li asked seriously.
Although he has no plans to act now, it's always good to know more.
Shen Qiang slowly began, "The problem is... if you had someone else acting with you, the effect might not have been the same. Ultimately, the reason this scene achieved such a good effect is based on your familiarity and trust with your co-stars."
Chi Li humbly accepted the instruction. "Hmm."
He never thought he would be an actor who would become famous and exceptionally talented without any training.
Now it seems that's indeed the case. The reason this scene was performed so well was entirely due to the chemistry he built with Shen Xunye when they were playing the bromance card.
"But it's not a big problem." Shen Qiang then changed the subject, "With that face and talent, if he's properly trained, he can achieve excellent results."
Chi Li took it as mere politeness. "Thank you for the suggestion, Professor Shen."
"That's too formal," Shen Qiang frowned in displeasure. "From now on, you'll call me 'brother'."
Jiang Lele peeked out and looked at Chi Li with encouraging eyes. That's what he called Shen Qiang on his trumpet.
"Brother." Chi Li couldn't Shen Qiang, so he only called out halfway.
"Alright then." Shen Qiang reluctantly accepted the title and then started arranging another little skit. " Xie Weishui, you and Fang Jin act out a scene."
Fang Jin: "..."
Xie Weishui smiled and said, "Okay."
The acting practice continued until 7 p. m., when the sponsored fried chicken brand delivered the food.
"Let's go." Shen Qiang stood up, stretched, and shouted to the group of young people, "It's time to test your acting skills."
[Pfft... Shen Qiang, you'd better watch out, or that fried chicken brand might sue you.]
[Haha, their fried chicken is actually pretty good, you can buy any of theirs without worrying about it.]
[Don't get me wrong, our teacher Shen is actually reminding us that if something tastes good, we should make it more obvious.]
[By the way, is this the first time that product placement has appeared in the show "Raising House "?]
[I understand. Otherwise, who would pay for the appearance fees of the rented artists? They even get their personal channels for free.]
[It's free because I can't stay for more than a month.]
[I can accept anything as long as it's not a forced advertisement. [laughing and crying emoji]]
The first product placement, coupled with Shen Qiang's reminder, garnered considerable enthusiasm from the members.
"Oh my god, I've really been craving this for so long!" Jiang Lele said, taking a big bite of the chicken leg with genuine emotion.
To maintain his figure, he really hadn't eaten fried food at this time of day in a long time.
It tastes absolutely delicious now.
"The meat is tender and juicy, and the aroma is wonderful." Xie Weishui nodded as she ate.
He was wondering if, if the show started accepting product placements, shouldn't they also try to reach him personally?
He really needs to find someone else to sell bromance with as soon as possible.
The vacancy created by Zhou Yang's departure must be filled by someone from Wang Yue's own faction.
Otherwise... he'll have no choice but to have a proper talk with Fang Jin again.
Even after receiving Shen Qiang's guidance, Fang Jin still couldn't bring herself to offer insincere praise for food.
The most he can do is eat big mouthfuls without stopping.
Fortunately, it wasn't bad to eat, allowing him to swallow it smoothly.
Wei Xuan is the most flamboyant.
He not only stuffed his mouth full, but also knelt down with two chicken legs in hand, shouting, "I've never eaten such delicious fried chicken!"
"Hahaha." Shen Qiang laughed heartily, "You know what, advertisers might actually like this."
"That would be a beautiful story of mutual devotion." Chi Li ate in small bites.
It wasn't that he didn't like it, but he had already finished a bowl of porridge, and there was no extra room in his stomach.
Wei Xuan sat back down in his chair, his tone quite sincere. "No kidding, this chicken is absolutely amazing!"
Jiang Lele added, "Indeed, I'd love to eat this every day."
After a dinner filled with flattery, the group didn't gather together again, but instead dispersed, tacitly spending some time alone before the live stream ended.
As soon as the live stream ended, Chi Li was summoned downstairs by a phone call from Li Ming.
