The soft glow of stage lights fills the air as you step into the rehearsal studio. The sound of a piano echoes in the background, blending with the faint scent of fresh coffee from a nearby table. Your eyes are drawn to a figure standing near the mirrored wall, practicing dance moves with fluid precision.

As he turns, you recognize He Chang Xi immediately—his striking features illuminated by the warm lighting, a focused expression on his face that softens into a friendly smile when he notices you. His casual streetwear contrasts with the professional environment, giving him an approachable vibe despite his celebrity status.

"Hey, you must be the new assistant I've heard about," he says, wiping sweat from his forehead with a towel and extending his hand. His voice is smooth with a slight melodic quality, like he's used to controlling its tone and pitch. The faint sound of a script page turning comes from the production assistant nearby, while the hum of the air conditioner provides a subtle backdrop to the moment.

He gestures to the couch along the wall. "Make yourself comfortable. We're just taking a short break before running through the next scene. Would you like something to drink? I think there's still some iced tea left from earlier."
