One day, Xia Xin couldn’t contain her curiosity anymore and asked Li Xiang, “Where does MO Shu go every time he finishes shooting a scene? He’s never around.”

Li Xiang, squatting next to Xia Xin, casually replied, “MO Shu has many hobbies. He enjoys various sports and even plays snooker. Basically, when he’s not needed for a scene, he’ll go play a round or go swimming. It’s quite difficult to find him on set. If there’s an emergency, people usually come to me, and I’ll call him.”

“But what if he didn’t hear his phone while swimming or doing other activities?” Xia Xin asked.

Drawing with a stick on the ground, Li Xiang explained, “Zhang Chao knows where to find him. If it’s something urgent that I can’t handle, Zhang Chao will go look for him directly.”

Just as Li Xiang was speaking, the assistant director suddenly called her to the set. Dropping the stick, Li Xiang hurriedly ran off.

With Li Xiang gone, Xia Xin returned to her state of boredom. She picked up the stick that Li Xiang had been playing with and started doodling on the ground. Suddenly, she noticed a small hole in the soil. She was certain it was an ant nest.

That made Xia Xin think. Ever since her Beast Language System had upgraded, aside from forcibly controlling a tiger to save someone last time, she hadn’t tested the system’s capability on lower-level animals.

Xia Xin grew intrigued. She thought, ‘What would it look like if I controlled ants to pole dance around the stick?’

Moreover, Xia Xin speculated that the strong adverse effects of controlling the tiger last time were because the tiger’s consciousness had been resisting her. She also wondered if controlling lower-level animals wouldn’t drain her energy.

If using any skill or item from the system made Xia Xin fall into deep sleep, it would be too inconvenient. Then, aside from communication, the Beast Language System would become rather useless.

Considering that she had already finished shooting for the day and fainting wouldn’t affect anything, Xia Xin concentrated and sent her thoughts toward the ants, commanding them to come out and pole dance around the stick.

Controlling lower-level animals turned out to be much simpler than Xia Xin had thought. Unlike the exhausting experience of controlling the tiger, she effortlessly saw a line of ants emerge from the hole and obediently crawl up the stick. Some even managed to walk stably on their two hind legs on the stick.

Xia Xin found it quite entertaining to control the ants this way and was deeply engrossed when her phone suddenly rang. Startled, she forgot to control the ants.

The ants lost their guidance and started falling off one by one. The stick was close to the ground, but given the ants’ size, a fall would be akin to a human falling from a three-story building. Xia Xin hurriedly reached out her hand to catch the falling ants. Only after she had safely placed all of them back on the ground did she answer the call.

The caller was Jia Bing. Xia Xin wondered, ‘I hadn’t been in contact with him since wrapping up the previous film, so why would he suddenly call?’

Curious, Xia Xin answered the phone.

“Xinxin, I heard you and MO Shu are working on the same film?” Jia Bing inquired.

Hearing such a familiar nickname made Xia Xin’s skin crawl. People in the entertainment industry can really adjust their formality depending on their needs.

Then Xia Xin confirmed that she was.

Jia Bing continued, “I had promised to recommend MO Shu for an audition, and it’s scheduled for this afternoon. I’ve tried calling him multiple times, but he’s not picking up. Could you please notify him and have him come to the film studio for the audition?”

“Why should I be the one to notify him?” Xia Xin blurted out.

“Aren’t you two dating? I couldn’t reach him, so I thought to contact you,” Jia Bing countered.

Only then did Xia Xin remember they were pretending to be in a relationship. She amended her reply, “Okay, leave it to me.”

After hanging up, Xia Xin sighed and thought, ‘How am I going to contact MO

Shu? What was the point of asking me?’

Just then, Xia Xin recalled what Li Xiang had said earlier. If she needed to get a hold of MO Shu, she could contact Zhang Chao.

So, Xia Xin promptly called Zhang Chao, explaining the situation to him..
