Chapter 585: Chapter 585

At her ear, Sister Xiao Hua’s voice teasingly came through, "Or did you suddenly discover that women are much better than men, and some little ideas in your heart are starting to stir?"

He Jinxia glanced at Cheng Xiaohua and suddenly interrupted her, asking directly, "Sister Xiao Hua, do you like women?"

Cheng Xiaohua subconsciously said, "Ah, yes, I do like them, soft and fragrant, who doesn’t like them?"

He Jinxia looked at her deeply, and this time she fully realized.

So Cheng Xiaohua liked women!

Emma, how had she never noticed this hidden attribute of Sister Xiao Hua before? As a boss, she had really been negligent.

Cheng Xiaohua furrowed her brows, feeling that the way He Jinxia was looking at her was very strange, with pity mixed with a bit of sigh, eh, wait, pity??

Cheng Xiaohua, "Why are you suddenly asking this question?"

He Jinxia sighed softly and patted Sister Xiao Hua’s shoulder, saying, "Sister Xiao Hua, I support you, although the path of homosexuality is tortuous, Huaxia has sound laws now, you don’t have to feel inferior or think you are weird, no matter what decisions you make, I will respect you."

Cheng Xiaohua looked baffled: ?

He Jinxia shifted her tone and said, "But you must learn to restrain yourself, even though I’m your boss, and the person you interact with the most every day, I have no romantic interest in you, if you ever find yourself falling for me, you must tell me, and I won’t hesitate to fire you."

Cheng Xiaohua widened her eyes: ??

He Jinxia looked at her solemnly and said, "I wish you happiness."

Cheng Xiaohua was utterly confused: ???

"Wait, wait, what are you talking about, I can’t understand?" Sister Xiao Hua quickly said.

He Jinxia gave her a "I understand everything" look and said nothing, only patted her shoulder in silent encouragement and support.

Sister Xiao Hua was so anxious she started stuttering, "No, it’s not that, you, you completely misunderstood me, my meaning that is!"

"Damn, I, I didn’t mean that, what I like is still——"

Seeing Cheng Xiaohua urgently trying to explain, He Jinxia actually realized she had guessed wrong, Sister Xiao Hua still liked men.

Her eyes turned mischievously, and as Cheng Xiaohua was about to reveal the truth, she waved her hand and interrupted: "Sister Xiao Hua, you don’t have to say, I understand, I understand everything! I support you!"

Cheng Xiaohua felt incredibly wronged, "No, it’s not, what I like is men—"

Before she could finish her sentence, He Jinxia preemptively grabbed her hands, emphatically saying, "I understand you!"

If at this moment an emoticon could represent Cheng Xiaohua’s feelings, it would be "[spurt blood] x3"!

Ah, she was about to go crazy!

In her ear, He Jinxia’s words continued to flow, filled with deep sighs, "Previously I never felt this, but this time you came back and told me clearly you like women, then I could confirm,

Combining with the theory you talked about before that you don’t like men, I realize now, you had already hinted at it to me a long time ago."

She said, "Sister Xiao Hua, you should have told me earlier, rest assured, I will understand you and encourage you to pursue love bravely!"

Cheng Xiaohua: "..." Pursue what love, right now she wanted to die!

Cheng Xiaohua took a deep breath to calm the tumultuous thoughts in her heart, and spoke with difficulty, "Jinxia, you misunderstood, what I like is men."

As soon as she said this, she felt an instant clarity and thought, there shouldn’t be any more misunderstandings about her, right?

But in the very next second, He Jinxia gave her a strange look, and Cheng Xiaohua immediately had a bad feeling about it.

True enough, He Jinxia vaguely said, "So you’re bisexual too, huh? It’s okay, that’s pretty normal. Most people are potentially bisexual."

Cheng Xiaohua: "..." I’m straight, straight, okay!

I’m purely into guys, purely!

However, He Jinxia didn’t give her a chance to explain, pushing her towards the door and taking the lead with a smile, "Sister Xiao Hua, I’m a bit tired today, so let’s not chat anymore. If you have anything, tell me tomorrow, that’s it, goodbye."

With a "bang," the door was firmly closed.

It’s like swallowing bitter wine that pains the heart, and a mouthful of old blood is stuck in my chest! ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ NoveI★Fire.net

Damn conclusions, had I known, I wouldn’t have said I liked women, alas, like water spilled or money spent, it can never be taken back.

It hurts my heart, and my head aches.

After teasing Cheng Xiaohua, He Jinxia felt much less stressed and cheerfully went to shower before lying down on the bed to rest.

After returning to the hotel, she hadn’t looked at her phone at all, just casually glanced to see that her phone was blinking with a notification light, indicating a message had been received.

He Jinxia thought it was a message from Sheng Yan, but upon checking, she discovered it wasn’t just from Sheng Yan.

Sheng Yan asked her if she had slept yet, and beneath his messages, there were several from Xu Xiuzi, making He Jinxia frown at how agitated Xu Xiuzi seemed.

After replying to Sheng Yan’s message, He Jinxia opened Xu Xiuzi’s messages and soon her frown deepened even more.

Could it be that Duan Yu and others hadn’t found a makeup artist?

Although it was Duan Yu and his team’s work that got shortlisted for Berlin, the award was not just for the director but for the entire crew.

Every crew member could take pride in it, without the contributions of other personnel, "Eighteen Years Old Sky" wouldn’t have come into being.

However, the structure of the "Eighteen Years Old Sky" crew was disorganized; Duan Yu and his team used their own savings for the shooting and didn’t specifically build a team, so the people they hired left right after filming.

Thus, that leads to "Eighteen Years Old Sky" winning an award, but only a few lead actors and the director came to Berlin to compete for the prize.

As a novice actor, attending such a big award event for the first time, there were many things she hadn’t clarified, such as a mistake made in Berlin by not booking a room for He Jinxia, nor providing her any subsidy.

If there hadn’t been a prior discussion, not booking a room for an actor is a way for the crew to show their dissatisfaction with that actor.

He Jinxia knew they were new directors and also understood their tight budget, so she didn’t ask for extra money from them, effectively paying her own way in Berlin.

What she didn’t expect was that they couldn’t even handle small matters like hiring a makeup artist.

He Jinxia shook her head gently, unsure of what to say.

Xu Xiuzi messaged her to inquire if she knew any way to find a makeup artist to help the people in the crew.

After thinking for a bit, He Jinxia sent a message to Tony.

As her own exclusive stylist, Tony naturally came to Berlin as well, having arrived earlier with Luo You before she even flew over.

After her arrival, Tony had already picked out the Hanfu and the accompanying attire she should wear, making it incredibly easy for her.
