After the college entrance examination, life began to follow one's heart

Chapter 211 On-set Observations: Accompanying Chi Linyue to Buy a Cheongsam

Chapter 211 On-set Observations: Accompanying Chi Linyue to Buy a Cheongsam
set.

It was 9:00 AM, and filming hadn't officially started yet.

All the women were drinking milk tea and chatting.

The situation with the men was a bit more complicated. Some of them were smoking and chatting, some who didn't smoke were also chatting, and others were doing other things.

The whole event was actually quite pleasant.

Xu Lin was among the smokers.

Xu Lin is the type of person who will only smoke if someone offers him a cigarette, and won't smoke if they don't.

However, he was the one who distributed the cigarettes today.

What Xu Lin needs to do is to get closer to most of the people on set at the beginning. After all, it's impossible for everyone to like you, but Xu Lin only needs to win over most of them.

He's the head screenwriter, and he has to go to school, so he can't be on set every day. If he has any opinions about the script later, and you, who only happens to be there occasionally, come out and complain, people will be upset because it involves a fairness issue. Why should you, who didn't do anything, come out and complain? That doesn't make sense.

Therefore, knowing how to conduct oneself is very important at this time.

Xu Lin was simply doing things that were in line with human nature, like when he distributed cigarettes and milk tea. People liked these things, which is in line with human nature.

Of course, the fact that Xu Lin is now smoking with a bunch of grown men is just another way of doing things in this world.

Just like ancient emperors would pick up a hoe and work the land with the people, which meant getting close to the grassroots. When the people saw this, they felt that the emperor cared about them and had a heart for the country, and they cheered.

In reality, his mother might only hoe a few times and that would be it; in short, it's all just for show.

These things are actually quite dark, but that's how society works. It's very complex and completely different from the so-called grand principles in books. Things like brotherly love and respect, and harmonious neighborly relations are all nonsense, because everyone's moral standards are not high enough to reach the level of saints and virtuous gentlemen. Aren't we all just ordinary people?
Xu Lin smoked three cigarettes, puffing away with a group of grown men while bragging and talking about all sorts of random things.

Before this, everyone knew or had heard that Mr. Xu had a very powerful background. Big stars are fine, but they've already reached this level. No matter how powerful someone's background is, they should still think twice.
But for those minor celebrities and even small figures, such as those who do odd jobs or extras, people thought Mr. Xu might be difficult to get along with before they came, and they were quite apprehensive. If things went wrong and Mr. Xu got angry, they would have to pack their bags and leave. But in the end, they didn't expect Mr. Xu to be such a nice person.

"Brother Xu, let's get busy!"

Filming was about to begin, and everyone stood up, told Xu Lin, and took their positions.

Xu Lin has already gained initial popular support here.

Xu Lin: “OK.”

Snapped!
Xu Lin inserted the straw into a cup of fruit tea and started drinking.

After smoking three cigarettes, Xu Lin felt his mouth was quite uncomfortable, with a strange taste.

But the world of martial arts is not just about fighting and killing; it also involves countless human relationships and social interactions.

I need to smoke.

Everyone went to film a movie at that time.

Feeling bored, Xu Lin opened his phone and went to Taobao.

He thought of Shang Wanjun's cheongsam.

Xu Lin thought the cheongsam was really beautiful.

So Xu Lin picked out ten very beautiful cheongsams on Taobao, all priced above 500 yuan.

This was bought for Chi Linyue. Cheongsams are meant to look good on beautiful older women or even aunties who have reached a certain age. Otherwise, even if Ning Yuhan and the others wore them, they wouldn't be able to pull off the right look.

After placing the order, Xu Lin took a screenshot and sent it to Chi Linyue.

"I bought you a cheongsam."

"?"

A little over a minute later, Chi Linyue replied: "I wanted to buy a cheongsam before, but I forgot about it later."

Chi Linyue: "Let's return it. These cheongsams online are no good, and they might even be made with inferior materials. A cheongsam that costs 500 yuan might actually cost less than 100 yuan, or even less than 50 yuan. Let's go to a clothing store together after I get off work this afternoon. Cheongsams that cost at least several thousand yuan each are of poor quality in terms of fabric and workmanship."

Chi Linyue: "It's been so long since I've seen you. I'd like to see you."

"Okay, then I'll cancel."

Xu Lin cancelled all the orders.

However, Xu Lin, who was full of mischief, suddenly thought of another type of clothing.

"What size are your underwear? Please also provide your measurements."

"what?"

"I'll buy you underwear."

"I buy them all from physical stores."

I want to buy you this.

Xu Lin sent a screenshot of the sexy lingerie.

"what?"

Chi Linyue blushed immediately upon seeing the lingerie. Although she wasn't particularly conservative, the explicit nature of the lingerie still shocked her.

Is this something a person would wear?
Xu Lin: "This is what I wear in private, so don't worry."

Xu Lin: "Good boy. (Evil grin.jpg Sunglasses.jpg)"

"Then place your order!"

Chi Linyue hesitated for a long time before sending over the measurements.

After sending it, her face was as red as a monkey's bottom.

Very popular.

Xu Lin remained silent for the next half hour.

But just 32 minutes later, Xu Lin sent over a screenshot.

"I bought you twenty sets, so you can change them up later."

"I'm starting to regret agreeing to your offer."

Chi Linyue glanced at the screenshots and found them unbearable to look at. For example, there was a pair of underwear that looked like just a rope, which was more bikini-like than the so-called bikini.

Can this be contained?
"What are you afraid of? You're not Superman, you don't need to wear your underwear inside out."

"Nonsence!"

Chi Linyue: "Are you in class?"

Xu Lin sent a photo from the set, which showed Dilraba Dilmurat, Chen Duling, and other celebrities and crew members.

"I'm filming. I'm on set today."

"Oh."

Chi Linyue suddenly realized.

"Any female celebrities you fancy? *smirks*"

"A celebrity isn't even worth a hair on your head, and Lei Zi isn't even as big as you."

"Pah! How vulgar!"

Xu Lin sent a laughing emoji.

Chi Linyue: "Dilraba is not as pretty as me."

Xu Lin: "It's wrapped."

Which celebrity plays you?

Xu Lin circled Zhang Linghe in the photo.

The older sister said, "It's alright, at least you're not ugly, but you're not as youthful as him. And he's just wearing makeup to look younger. Your face is full of collagen, so tender. I really want to reach out and pinch your cheeks right now. *chuckles*"

"You can pinch me however you want tonight."

"Humph."

The two started flirting, and the conversation became increasingly risqué, lasting for ten minutes.

Xu Lin then said, "I have to get back to work now. It's not good to be idle for too long. See you this afternoon."

The scene this morning was filmed when the male and female leads first met.

Actually, Xu Lin didn't need to do anything. After all, only the director and others knew whether the film was good or not. They were the ones who called "cut" and "action."

Xu Lin was responsible for reviewing their lines and sometimes making on-the-spot changes to improve the effect.

Time quickly came to lunchtime.

Film crews usually eat boxed lunches, which are subsidized.

Celebrities are another story; they're not short of money. They might just grab a big meal at a fancy hotel during their lunch break, or order takeout from a hotel that specializes in delivering to them.

But it's different for other people; they might only spend fifty yuan a day on three meals.

Moreover, there might be someone in the crew who makes a profit from managing the boxed meals. In reality, the 50 yuan might not even reach the person eating it for 30 yuan, since wholesale can drive the price down even further, as the saying goes, "large quantities can produce miracles."

This lunch was the best meal that everyone except the celebrity director and others had eaten.

Because Xu Lin paid for it, he bought a very generous boxed lunch, with four meat dishes, one vegetable dish, and one soup. Moreover, the vegetables were separated, not all stuffed into one small box. Instead, there was a box of rice, two boxes of vegetables, and a serving of pork bone soup, not the perfunctory winter melon soup or egg drop soup.

Such treatment is unheard of, let alone seen, in any film crew.

After all, many film crews are already lucky if their meal allowance isn't reduced by shoddy workmanship.

Everyone was shocked and deeply moved.

"Brother Xu is so good to us!"

"I've worked as an extra in fifteen different film crews so far, and I've never had a crew like this before. With cigarettes, milk tea, and a sumptuous boxed lunch, I'm really moved to tears."

"I've worked on ten film sets, and the food on three of them was particularly bad. I don't know how much the jerk in charge of the meals skimmed off their paychecks, damn it!"

"Brother Xu really treats all of us in the crew like brothers and sisters, and I'm just doing odd jobs."

Xu Lin's gesture of treating everyone to boxed lunches at noon touched everyone deeply.

A film crew consists of many people. In addition to the actors, directors, and cinematographers, there are also costume and prop staff, sound engineers, production assistants, and so on. There are also extras and general helpers. Most of them are just ordinary workers. What can move these workers is the benefits, and Xu Lin just happened to do that.

Of course, these things aren't given out very often.

For example, Xu Lin only treats people to meals when he's on set. If he's not there, he doesn't. It's not that it costs a lot of money; in fact, it doesn't cost Xu Lin much at all.

However, being a good person is a complicated thing. It's okay to be a good person, but being too good is not good. If you're too good, others will take it for granted that you're good to them. If one day that kindness suddenly stops, everyone will have complaints.

Xu Lin wasn't stupid; he just needed people to know that he was the best in this film crew.

As long as he was on set, everyone ate and drank well, enjoying delicious food and drinks.

He also prepared the lunch boxes for the afternoon, which were still very plentiful, and the dishes were different this time.

In addition, milk tea and fruit tea are also available in the afternoon; this time, I opted for Nayuki.

Because of Xu Lin's actions throughout the day, he ended up trending on social media.

Mr. Xu is such a wonderful person.

Many crew members appeared on the trending topics to share their experiences, and there were also photos posted on Xiaohongshu (Little Red Book). As soon as the popularity surged, the trending topics appeared.

A hearty boxed lunch with a filling of cigarettes, milk tea, fruit tea, and four dishes and a soup went viral and became a trending topic.

"Damn, they even give you free cigarettes? These are the soft kind, a pack costs 65!"

"I heard from the crew that each man gets a pack! Mr. Xu bought ten packs of cigarettes to share!"

"real or fake?"

"It's true, I'm from the film crew next door. My friend is on this film crew, and he also got a pack of cigarettes!"

"Wow, this is amazing! What kind of food is this? It must cost over a hundred yuan a meal."

"I really want to join this film crew. Mr. Xu is such a nice person!"

"Yes, I'm an extra in this film crew, and Mr. Xu is a really nice person!"

Has anyone seen Mr. Xu? What does he look like? Is he the guy from Xue Zhiqian's concert?

“My friend said it’s him! And he’s much more handsome than Zhang Linghe, who plays the male lead. His looks and physique are far superior to Zhang Linghe’s. He’s even more of a star than a celebrity! But Mr. Xu doesn’t allow photos to be taken, so no photos have been released yet. Maybe some will come out in the future.”

This issue has been discussed on three platforms: Weibo, Xiaohongshu, and Douyin.

On Weibo, it topped the entertainment trending list and ranked third on the overall trending list.

Unbeknownst to many, Xu Lin gained hundreds of thousands more fans. It's normal for a popular person to gain fans.

That's how the day ended for the film crew.

Before leaving, Xu Lin told the crew that he would be attending class the next day and would come back in a couple of days.

People then realized that Mr. Xu was only eighteen years old and was currently studying at a prestigious university like Jiangdu University of Finance and Economics.

In an instant, Xu Lin gained two more buffs.

He is a student, and a top student at a prestigious university.

It commands respect.

After leaving the film crew, Xu Lin went to the building downstairs of Chi Linyue's company.

Actually, the older sister originally wanted to drive over to pick up Xu Lin, but Xu Lin drove an electric scooter, which was inconvenient.

When Xu Lin arrived at the other party's company building, Chi Linyue had already been waiting there for more than ten minutes.

How was your day on set?

Chi Linyue was extremely curious.

"I feel pretty good; it's been a good life experience."

"Oh, that's good."

At this moment, Chi Linyue got on the vehicle. She was wearing loose jeans today, not a skirt, so she could ride the electric scooter normally.

After getting into the car, Chi Linyue put her arm around Xu Lin's waist.

"Are you seated?"

"Sit down."

"I'm driving now. By the way, what do you want to eat?" "Hmm... let's try some street food. Eating too much gourmet food gets boring."

"Ok."

Xu Lin drove to some food streets, where there were street stalls; otherwise, he would have to drive a long way to less developed areas, which was too much trouble.

Tonight we had rice noodles, plus a few skewers of barbecue and freshly squeezed juice.

That's how we had dinner.

"Next, you're going to buy a cheongsam, right?"

"Otherwise, why would you be thinking about this?"

"Wear it for me tonight."

"Humph!"

Xu Lin remained silent, cheerfully whistling as they set off for the destination Chi Lin Yue had mentioned.

This is a high-end cheongsam clothing store that specializes in cheongsams. The prices are not low; even the cheapest cheongsams start at two thousand yuan. Of course, there are also cheongsams that cost five figures. You can buy them directly or have them custom-made.

When Xu Lin and his companion arrived at their destination, they found the store filled with women, mostly women over thirty years old, who all seemed to be quite well-off.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. A cheongsam here costs several thousand yuan. Ordinary working people can afford it but don't need to, because cheongsams aren't worn often, so it's not worth it. For wealthy people, clothes at this price are just one or two items in their wardrobe, and they only take them out to wear occasionally.

After Xu Lin accompanied Chi Linyue to choose the cheongsams, they selected a total of ten.

However, unlike clothes in a regular clothing store where you can just take them down and try them on, you wouldn't know if a single garment had been worn by hundreds of people.

Here, for example, if Xu Lin and his group take a liking to a particular item, they can tell the salesperson the size, take it down for a rough comparison, and then the salesperson will bring out a new set.

Xu Lin and his group selected ten sets.

The waiter then brought out ten exquisite boxes, each containing a new cheongsam.

Let Chi Linyue try it on.

The fitting room wasn't a small cubicle, but a large room.

Xu Lin followed him inside.

There was a sofa inside, and Xu Lin sat on it.

Before doing that, Xu Lin wanted to confirm whether there were any cameras.

"Don't watch me take off my clothes."

"We're already so familiar with each other."

"It just feels weird, and I also feel shy."

"Hurry up and take it off."

"Ah!"

Chi Linyue didn't care anymore and thought she could take her clothes off.

Before long, she was down to her underwear and began trying on her first cheongsam.

This set is black.

"Does it look good?"

After Chi Linyue finished dressing, she turned around in front of Xu Lin and then looked at the mirror next to her.

This was the first time she had worn a cheongsam, and she thought she looked beautiful.

This cheongsam suits her perfectly, not too loose or too tight, just right. Besides, she has such a great figure that she looks amazing in it. The unique charm of a cheongsam-clad beauty shines through, even more so than Shang Wanjun's.

Chi Linyue is about to turn twenty-six, gradually entering the age of a young woman in her late twenties, and different clothes will give her a different feeling.

The cheongsam is a perfect example of this.

On the other side, Xu Lin stretched out a hand, gesturing for Chi Linyue to lend a hand, and Chi Linyue did so without much thought.

Just as she placed her hand on Xu Lin's hand, Xu Lin grasped her small hand and pulled her close, drawing Chi Linyue into his arms.

"Xu Lin, what are you doing?"

clap clap!

Xu Lin slapped Chi Linyue's big moon twice.

"If you keep doing this, I'm not talking to you anymore!"

The older sister gave a reproachful look.

Haha... I just think you're pretty.

"cut!"

"How beautiful?"

The older sister was the best at seducing him, so Chi Linyue simply got up and knelt on the sofa, straddling Xu Lin's legs, and wrapped her arms around Xu Lin's neck.

"Tell me, how beautiful is my sister?"

She tossed her long hair, releasing a fragrant aroma that captivated all who beheld her.

"I'm about to have a physical reaction," Xu Lin said with a smile.

"Vulgar! Can't you just answer properly?"

"How can this be called vulgar? This is my highest respect for you. If you weren't beautiful, I wouldn't even bother to look at you."

"Pah, never mind, although your answer was weird, I'll forgive you for now!"

Chi Linyue stood up and twirled gracefully twice in front of the other person: "How do you feel about this cheongsam?"

"Bought it!"

"Hmm, I actually think this set looks great too. I'll try the other nine sets."

Over the next half hour, Chi Linyue tried the remaining nine sets, and they all worked well.

Her figure is perfect for clothes; there's no worry about them not fitting.

When it comes to dressing, many people may not know that, regardless of gender, as long as you have a good figure, clothes will definitely look good. Height is even less important than body shape when it comes to dressing. After all, if you don't have a good figure, such as being too fat or too thin, clothes will not look good either. If you have a good figure, it is easy for clothes to look good, and your overall appearance will be enhanced.

In the end, all ten cheongsams were bought, costing a total of 110,000 yuan.

The cheongsams here are really expensive; if they're custom-made, they're even more so.

Customization, maybe next time.

"It felt a little strange to wear a cheongsam out for the first time."

After leaving the cheongsam shop, Chi Linyue was wearing a cheongsam instead of the clothes she had worn when she arrived.

"As long as it looks good, that's fine. Take advantage of your youth and wear nice clothes. Otherwise, when you get older, your figure will be out of shape and your face will sag, and that will be so painful."

"No, I'll be beautiful forever!"

At twenty-five, Chi Linyue naturally dared not imagine herself in the future, old and faded, her beauty gone.

That would be terrifying!

"boarding!"

"coming."

"Not behind, it's here."

Xu Lin made room for Chi Linyue, so that she could sit in front of him.

She's wearing a cheongsam now, so it's inconvenient for her to sit in the back, and besides, the two of them are already quite familiar with each other.

Chi Linyue did as she was told. To be honest, sitting like this felt quite reassuring, with Xu Lin behind her like a warrior protecting her.

But soon, Chi Linyue couldn't hold back anymore.

"Xu Lin, what are you doing?"

"It happened involuntarily, don't mind it."

"When can we do something more in-depth?"

Xu Lin asked in the other person's ear.

"What's going on?"

"Asking knowingly."

"No... Let me think about it sometime... Besides, you little rascal, what else haven't I given you besides the last step?" Chi Linyue's cheeks were flushed, and she looked beautiful under the night sky.

She was actually starting to feel the urge to stop.

On the other hand, her inner rationality told her that she didn't know what to do if she took that final step. Although it was a bit of self-deception, Chi Linyue was still a little hesitant because she was seven years older than him.

It's already past 8 p.m., not too late, not too early.

Chi Linyue said she wanted to go for a drive, and Xu Lin, seeing that the electric scooter had plenty of battery, took her for a drive around aimlessly, going wherever the road took them, without any plan.

Xu Lin spent two hours driving around on this trip.

Around 10 a.m., Xu Lin drove his electric scooter into Chi Linyue's underground parking garage.

After parking the car, the two got out.

Chi Linyue was wearing sneakers, which are fine with jeans or other casual outfits.

But it would look a bit odd to pair it with a cheongsam.

Actually, cheongsams are best suited for high heels.

Chi Linyue has a better figure than Shang Wanjun; she has a larger bottom and a larger bust, and these two advantages are even more prominent when she wears a cheongsam.

Xu Lin walked behind, and even he felt a little tempted.

So Xu Lin went over and picked up Chi Linyue in a princess carry.

"Hey? What?"

"With both arms around the neck, I'm ready with one hand."

Chi Linyue quickly wrapped her arms around Xu Lin's neck. Xu Lin then released his left hand, leaving only his right hand behind Chi Linyue's knee.

Xu Lin smiled faintly and said, "Most men don't have my strength, let alone be this relaxed!"

"Most men probably aren't as lustful as you."

"That's not true! As long as a man is healthy, he's bound to be lustful. It's just that many of them don't have money. If they did, what would they do?"

"But you're both lecherous and audacious; you dared to set your sights on me even before you'd made your fortune."

"In nature, when males reach mating season, they naturally seek out females of their own kind to mate with. They smell each other, and if they're compatible, they get together. And then, pop pop pop, and they have offspring."

"You've made such a cliché love story out of nothing!"

"Haha, this is called facing your own desires. We humans are not noble, we are all animals."

Xu Lin had already entered the elevator. "Where's my card? I forgot to bring it."

Chi Linyue took out a magnetic card from her bag and swiped it on the elevator's smart screen.

At that moment, the elevator automatically pressed the button for Chi Linyue's floor.

"One elevator per household is great. When I buy a house, I'll look for one with one elevator per household."

"If you want to buy a house, just let me know. I know people who can help you save money."

"Ok."

Soon, the two exited the elevator and arrived at the space outside Chi Linyue's house. This was a private space, and no one else could enter the elevator except for Chi Linyue's card or permission.

Xu Lin put Chi Linyue down, and the other woman turned her back to him and bent down to take off her shoes.

The big moon was facing Xu Lin.

For a moment, Xu Lin felt very tempted, so he stepped forward.

"Xu Lin, not here!"

"What's there to be afraid of? It's just the two of us here, and no one else can come in. Sometimes we need to add a little fun to enhance our relationship."

"Then don't do anything reckless."

"Don't worry, I won't do anything else."

In no time, Xu Lin lifted the hem of Chi Linyue's cheongsam up to her waist.

"If I had known, I wouldn't have picked you up from downstairs last summer." Chi Linyue leaned against the shoe cabinet, pouting.

On the last day of Xu Lin's summer vacation last year, Chi Linyue went to pick him up to leave for Jiangdu, where everything began.

"Huh? Why did you call me 'brother' last time?"

"I won't shout this time, and I won't shout it again!"

"Shout or not?"

"Don't shout!"

"You're dead meat. If you don't call me 'brother' a hundred times later, I'll make you call me 'dad' a hundred times."

clap clap!

Xu Lin slapped the other person's pair of white jade plates twice more.
