Shadow of Chinese Entertainment

Chapter 117 Overlord’s meal

An Xiaoqian narrowed her eyes slightly, a sharp look flashed in her eyes, and she gritted her teeth and asked word by word: "What did I say to you before I left yesterday?"

Hu Xiaobei didn't even think about it and replied subconsciously: "You told me to be careful on the way back, and I said I would be careful. Isn't that right...?"

Seeing An Xiaoqian's murderous intent growing stronger, Hu Xiaobei added three words at the end to increase the uncertainty and leave himself a way out.

An Xiaoqian took a deep breath, frowned even tighter, and added a harsh tone as she reminded him, "What else do you have to say?"

When Hu Xiaobei heard this, his eyes froze at first, a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes, and his mouth subconsciously opened slightly, as if trying to catch the missing information in his mind.

Then, as his memories deepened, his mouth suddenly opened wide, and his eyes widened a little, revealing shock and realization.

Until the end, his chin suddenly tilted up, his mouth opened into a big "ah", his eyes widened, and his eyes lost focus in an instant. He stood there in a daze, as if he had been hit by a spell.

An Xiaoqian's originally cold face was like a balloon that was popped when she saw Hu Xiaobei's series of exaggerated expressions. Her momentum was deflated and she was instantly defeated.

He laughed out loud, and the sharpness in his eyes disappeared instantly, curving into a crescent shape.

But she soon realized that she had lost her momentum. The smile on her face froze with difficulty, and she frowned again. She cleared her throat and tried to regain her previous state.

She folded her arms in front of the flat road, deliberately put on a stern face, and glared at Hu Xiaobei fiercely: "Humph, don't think you can get away with this. Do you think I haven't seen Stephen Chow's "A Chinese Odyssey"? "

Seeing An Xiaoqian like this, Hu Xiaobei felt relieved at first, and a smile appeared on his face unconsciously. He suggested: "Oh...why don't you give it a try?"

Seeing that Hu Xiaobei dared to laugh, An Xiaoqian pretended to be angry and stretched out her little fist, gently hitting Hu Xiaobei's shoulder. She avoided the topic and tried to maintain her persona, reminding him: "What are you laughing at? Be serious!"

As she spoke, she suppressed her laughter, looked away, and tried to calm herself down and maintain her expression.

But the corners of her mouth trembled slightly uncontrollably, revealing her true thoughts at the moment.

After a while, she finally calmed down, turned to look at Hu Xiaobei, and said seriously, "Okay, let's get down to business. You have to carry your phone with you from now on, okay?"

Hu Xiaobei looked at An Xiaoqian's feigned seriousness, suppressed a smile, nodded seriously, and raised his hand to signal. He wanted to reply with the previous line: Report the robbery...

But when the words came to his lips, he remembered that the movie had not yet been released, so he swallowed the words back: "Report... I understand."

An Xiaoqian nodded with satisfaction, raised her chin slightly, and looked like a leader, with a hint of pride in her eyes: "That's good enough. If you dare to perfunctorily treat me again, hmph..."

After saying that, An Xiaoqian narrowed her eyes slightly, raised her eyebrows deliberately, snorted softly, puffed up her cheeks slightly, and pretended to be threatening, which was very fierce and cute.

But the smile flickering in her eyes was as gentle as the bright stars in the night sky, how could she hide it?

However, Hu Xiaobei did not dare to expose it. At this time, maintaining the fruits of victory was the top priority.

So he took the opportunity to express his views on the three-part performance and analyzed it from a professional perspective so that An Xiaoqian could better understand it.

When she had learned almost everything, Hu Xiaobei would give her some guidance on her performance and understanding under the pretext of testing her.

As a result, the attacking and defending forces became different, and when the two of them walked near the cafeteria, An Xiaoqian no longer had the fierce and cute look she had just had.

"Okay, let's stop here for now. You've learned well and deserve praise. So... I'll treat you to dinner."

Hu Xiaobei nodded with satisfaction, looking like a teachable boy, but without the beard, he looked a little less interesting.

An Xiaoqian's eyes suddenly lit up. She came closer and asked expectantly, "Are you cooking by yourself?"

"What are you thinking? It's not easy to start a fire in the dormitory. Of course, we should go to the cafeteria." Hu Xiaobei went straight past the second floor and headed towards the faculty cafeteria on the third floor. An Xiaoqian reached out and pulled his arm, reminding him, "We've passed it. That's the third floor."

Hu Xiaobei chuckled, shook his head and said, "I'm not wrong. I've always eaten in the cafeteria on the third floor."

An Xiaoqian followed him with some doubts and walked into the staff cafeteria on the third floor.

Hu Xiaobei waved his hand and said generously, "Order whatever you want to eat, just use my card."

"I have a card too, so I won't use yours. Remember, you owe me a meal, and you have to cook for me yourself in the future." An Xiaoqian was obviously not fooled and maximized her profits in an instant.

Her idea was good, but at that time the student's card could not be swiped in the faculty and staff cafeteria, so in the end Hu Xiaobei had to swipe the card.

An Xiaoqian doesn't have a big appetite, but she ordered a lot of food. It's not that she is wasteful, but the two of them have eaten together so many times that they know each other's appetite very well.

Every time a few people have a meal together, Hu Xiaobei is the one who eats the most. The food he cooks is basically finished during the meal and there are no leftovers at all.

While the crew was filming on location, An Xiaoqian often shared half of her meals with him.

Hu Xiaobei didn't despise her. After a few times, he asked her to wait until she finished eating.

After doing this many times, I got into the habit and didn’t think there was anything wrong with it.

It's not a big deal on the crew. Men generally eat a lot, while women eat a little. This kind of eating pairing is very common.

But it’s different on campus. Usually only couples do this.

The two of them were in the faculty cafeteria, and their youthful appearance was already very conspicuous, let alone the current situation.

In addition, An Xiaoqian and Hu Xiaobei were both very well-known in Beijing Film Academy, and for a while they became the focus of the staff cafeteria.

Girls are very sensitive to this kind of gaze, and An Xiaoqian quickly noticed something strange.

She frowned slightly, her eyes moving restlessly, and asked softly, "Do you feel like they're all looking at us?"

Hu Xiaobei didn't even raise his head, concentrating on stuffing food into his mouth, and responded vaguely, "You are so beautiful, don't you look normal?"

An Xiaoqian subconsciously curled the corners of her mouth, but there was still a hint of embarrassment in her smile.

She looked at Hu Xiaobei, who was concentrating on eating, with uneasiness in her eyes, and tried to explain: "It's not that kind of look, it's the kind that feels very strange."

Hu Xiaobei picked up a piece of mutton, stuffed it into his mouth, chewed it for a few times, and without looking up, he casually said, "Oh, maybe it's because you ate a free meal and ordered so many dishes, so they are a little curious."

"Free meal, what free meal? Didn't you swipe your card?" An Xiaoqian picked up a bit of rice, brought it to her mouth, and looked at Hu Xiaobei in confusion.

Hu Xiaobei swallowed the mutton in his mouth, raised his head slightly and looked at An Xiaoqian with a hint of innocence in his eyes.

"Didn't I tell you? My room and board are all free, and the school also gives me a scholarship every year."

After saying that, he took out his faculty card from his pocket and placed it in front of An Xiaoqian.

He tapped the card lightly with his fingertips, a hint of imperceptible joy flashed in his eyes, and he said casually, "Here, this is the card.

You can use as much as you want in the cafeteria as long as you don’t waste any. The school will replenish the quota regularly.”
