Shadow of Chinese Entertainment

Chapter 115: Rumors
Hu Xiaobei smiled frankly, glanced at An Xiaoqian, and then looked at Liu Xiaoli and Yang Mi.

He explained with a slightly apologetic tone, “It’s like this, I heard that your feet smelled bad, so I paid special attention to them just now.

Seeing you take off your shoes so naturally, and not smelling any strange smell, I think someone must have spread rumors."

Yang Mi's face suddenly turned red, and her mood was up and down for a while, like riding a roller coaster.

Her mouth was slightly open, but her originally fluent lips were unable to utter a word due to aggrieved expression.

Liu Xiaoli quickly comforted her, saying, "These rumormongers really have nothing better to do than to spread rumors about a young girl.

I'm sitting right next to you, so I know best if there's any smell. Mimi, don't take it to heart."

An Xiaoqian also felt quite aggrieved for Yang Mi. She angrily kicked Hu Xiaobei again and said unhappily, "It's all your fault. You just talk nonsense."

Hu Xiaobei was bewildered, his mouth slightly open, he blinked, and explained innocently: "No, this is not a rumor I made up."

"If this isn't it, then which rumor did you make up?" An Xiaoqian straightened her upper body, moved in front of Hu Xiaobei and asked forcefully.

"Uh……"

For a moment, Hu Xiaobei was speechless.

He paused and tried to reverse the situation with scientific data: "In fact, scientific research data shows that women have more sebaceous glands and sweat glands on their feet.

Under the same working hours and living conditions, the bacterial reproduction rate on the soles of women's feet is as high as 2300%, while that of men is only 400%.

It’s just that women like to be cleaner, and women like to soak their feet more in winter, so it’s not obvious.”

"Hmph, I don't believe it!" An Xiaoqian crossed her arms over her chest and ignored Hu Xiaobei's data output.

Yang Mi became even more anxious after hearing this. She tried to prove herself without thinking: "My feet really don't stink. Why don't you smell them..."

Before she could finish her words, she saw Hu Xiaobei leaning back slightly. Yang Mi also knew that she had said the wrong thing in her haste.

For a moment, the atmosphere fell into awkwardness again.

An Xiaoqian felt a little sorry when she saw this, and subconsciously wanted to help Yang Mi share some of the attention.

So he pulled his slender left leg out from under the quilt, slowly moved it in front of Hu Xiaobei, and then quietly asked, "Can you smell it and see if it stinks?"

Hu Xiaobei tilted his head back strategically, trying to dodge.

However, An Xiaoqian had planned it in advance and secretly grabbed the corner of his underwear at some point.

Hu Xiaobei could only keep lying back, and finally had no choice but to lie on the lower bunk.

Seeing that she was about to be ravaged by jade feet, Liu Xiaoli spoke up in time: "Xixi, how can you do this!"

An Xiaoqian then retracted her magical powers and shrank back to her original position like a little quail, as if by doing so she could pretend that nothing had happened.

Seeing this, Yang Mi no longer worried about whether her feet smelled or not, but the loss in her heart seemed to be even greater.

Hu Xiaobei escaped the danger, he breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at An Xiaoqian who was pretending to be innocent, and thought to himself: You have me in your grasp!

If you meet someone who is obsessed with feet, he or she might take the initiative to do it.

Well, the ending scene will definitely be the same as it is now.

It’s just that An Xiaoqian is pretending now, and in that situation, An Xiaoqian would really be scared like a quail.
-
The train roared past on the rails, making a dull sound, and the wheels rubbed against the rails constantly, producing sparks.

It is like a tireless steel monster, carrying passengers forward in a hurry.

A day passed by unnoticed in this constant shaking.

The next afternoon, the K102 train, carrying a wave of heat, slowly entered Beijing Station.

The light outside the window was replaced by the lights on the platform, and the train slowly stopped, making a dull metallic friction sound.

The announcement on the train car sounded, and a familiar female voice echoed in the carriage: "Dear passengers, this train has arrived at its final destination, Beijing Station. Thank you for taking this train, and I hope everything goes well for you on your journey."

Please take your belongings with you and get off the bus in order. Please be careful when getting off the bus. Have a pleasant journey!

The carriage quickly became lively.

The originally quiet passengers stood up one after another, and the luggage racks above their heads were opened with a creaking sound.

Some passengers took their suitcases off the luggage rack and dragged them to the aisle, with the wheels making a "gurgling" sound on the ground.

Everyone walked hurriedly, but avoided each other.

Hu Xiaobei and his companions were not in a hurry. Instead, they waited for everyone to leave before walking out of the carriage carrying their bags.

Not far away, a middle-aged man who looked like a driver was holding a sign that read "Tongchan Investment".

An Xiaoqian's eyes suddenly lit up, and she led everyone over quickly.

When the driver saw them coming, he hurried forward to take the luggage, with a warm smile on his face, and led the four people to the business car.

The business car first drove towards Yang Mi's home. Along the way, An Xiaoqian and Yang Mi sat in the back seat, chatting quietly.

An Xiaoqian tilted her head slightly, with a faint smile on her lips, and spoke softly, as if she was sharing something interesting.

Yang Mi nodded slightly from time to time, and laughed out loud at An Xiaoqian's words from time to time. The laughter was crisp and hearty.

Hu Xiaobei leaned back in his seat, occasionally chatting with Liu Xiaoli.

Soon, they arrived at Yang Mi's house.

After she got off the car, her eyes were full of reluctance. She frowned slightly, pursed her lips, looked at the three people in the car, raised her hand and waved, with a hint of attachment in her voice: "See you when we go to Xiangshan."

An Xiaoqian nodded quickly in response, and gave encouragement with a smile: "Well, you should study hard and try to get good grades."

Hu Xiaobei and Liu Xiaoli also waved their hands with a faint smile on their faces.

The business car started slowly, the engine making a low hum, and drove towards An Xiaoqian's home.

Along the way, the scenery outside the window passed by quickly like a movie scene, and the light and shadow flickered on the car window glass, like a flowing painting.

An Xiaoqian sat by the window, looking out with focused eyes, her eyelashes trembling slightly, as if she was thinking about something.

Hu Xiaobei sat next to him, tapping his knees lightly with his fingers from time to time, his eyes looking out the window. The city scenery quickly receded, and his thoughts gradually drifted away.

Soon, the business car arrived at An Xiaoqian's home. Hu Xiaobei opened the car door, picked up the luggage, got out of the car swiftly, and helped them carry the luggage into the house.

Liu Xiaoli was smiling and holding Hu Xiaobei's arm, trying to persuade him to stay: "Xiaobei, why don't you stay for dinner. Auntie wants to eat a few more meals of your cooking!" Her eyes were full of sincerity and reluctance.

Hu Xiaobei shook his head slightly, with a gentle smile on his face, and waved his hand again, responding: "Auntie, you see... you have to run around here and there, so I won't cause any more trouble.

Besides, I have to go back to school to tidy up my dorm, so maybe I should come back next time." He didn't try to be polite, but spoke his mind directly.

A trace of disappointment flashed in Liu Xiaoli's eyes, and her lips moved slightly. She wanted to say something, but the words stopped at her lips, and she could only sigh helplessly.

An Xiaoqian sent Hu Xiaobei to the door of his home and finally stopped.

She stood at the door, slightly sideways, with concern in her eyes, as if she had a lot to say.

However, she opened her mouth slightly, and finally just whispered: "Xiaobei, be careful on your way back, and remember to send me a message when you get to the dormitory."

Hu Xiaobei suppressed the feeling of separation in his heart, nodded, and said, "Don't worry, I will pay attention." Then he helped her close the door, turned around and left.

Looking at the closed security door, An Xiaoqian seemed to hear some footsteps. Her heart tightened, she felt lost, and an inexplicable complex emotion surged up.
