Chapter 162 I don’t have any money

An Xiaoqian reacted quickly and immediately started acting. Her originally clear eyes gradually became filled with doubts.

She frowned slightly, opened her lips slightly, and responded with a confused look on her face: "Give me money?"

She looked so pure and innocent, as if she was really the Little Dragon Girl who had walked out of the isolated ancient tomb and knew nothing about the world.

And that delicate face right before her, full of collagen, with those slightly bulging little buns on her cheeks, is so tempting.

Hu Xiaobei only felt his heart suddenly shrink, and a warm current surged into his heart uncontrollably.

His mind went blank in an instant.

Immediately afterwards, An Xiaoqian's every frown and smile naturally kept circling in his mind.

His mind desperately reminded him that this was a workplace and he had to remain professional and restrained.

But the primitive impulse deep in my heart is like a surging tide, constantly hitting the shore of reason.

An inevitable strong urge welled up in my heart, and I wished I could turn into a wolf, hug the little bun tightly and take a few bites to satisfy my craving.

He couldn't help but lick his lips with the tip of his tongue, but he realized that something was wrong in an instant and suddenly pursed his lips.

At this moment, the sounds of conversations on the set, the operation of equipment, and the busy figures of staff rushing back and forth, all flooded into his perception like a tide.

This familiar work scene was like a basin of cold water, slightly extinguishing the heat in his heart.

He took a deep breath and silently told himself that the most important thing at the moment was to complete the filming and all personal emotions had to be put aside for the time being.

Then, Hu Xiaobei turned his head to the side, looked at the staff not far away inconspicuously, slowly exhaled, trying to calm the burning emotions in his heart.

Even so, his fingers subconsciously trembled and rubbed a few times in the air, as if he was feeling something in the air.

The urge to protect An Xiaoqian, yet at the same time to bully her, kept fluctuating in my heart.

He tried to get rid of these distracting thoughts, but An Xiaoqian's beautiful face kept following him.

Hu Xiaobei cleared his mind with great perseverance and focused his attention on guiding An Xiaoqian's acting skills. He slowly said, "Yes, that's the feeling. Remember it.

Throughout the performance, every look in your eyes and every subtle movement should reveal Xiaolongnu's innocence and ignorance.

But at the same time, she must not lose that inherently cool temperament." Hu Xiaobei added guiltily, a deliberate and stiff look of expectation on his face.

An Xiaoqian was so focused on acting that she had no idea how devastating her every frown and smile was.

She puffed out her chest proudly, looked at Hu Xiaobei with a firm gaze, and said confidently, "Don't worry, I can definitely act well."

Seeing An Xiaoqian's smug look, Hu Xiaobei's desire suddenly subsided. He nodded again: "Okay, then let's get ready to start filming and try to get it right in one go."

As the clapperboard slammed shut with a crisp "click", it seemed as if a grand prelude was drawn for this wonderful show, and the filming of Xiaolongnu's first entry into the mortal world officially began.

An Xiaoqian, dressed in white, seems to have walked out of a distant ink painting.

She moved lightly with lotus steps, and each step seemed to be lifted by the breeze, as light as a fairy floating down to the earth.

Her facial features are like carefully carved works of art, her skin is as transparent as fine mutton-fat jade, and she exudes a cool temperament.

In this age without beauty filters, she is undoubtedly a stunning presence.

She stood quietly in this ancient and quaint scene, like a fleeting glimpse or a soaring dragon, so cold and bright that it was incomparable, as if the fairy Gushan, who was not of this world, had descended into the mortal world.

In the small town, the ups and downs of the bun shop owner's cries are like a unique urban melody, going straight into people's ears.

"Steamed buns, hot steamed buns!"

"Fresh steamed buns, fragrant and soft!"

The rich aroma of the food went straight into her heart through her nose, instantly attracting the "Little Dragon Girl" who had just entered the mortal world.

Xiao Longnu had been away from the ancient tomb for a long time without eating. Seeing the trays of uniquely shaped buns and steamed buns, she paused involuntarily as if drawn by invisible threads. Her eyes darted back and forth among the numerous buns and steamed buns, and she immediately caught sight of a bun shaped like a tiger.

A hint of curiosity flashed in Xiaolongnu's eyes, and the image of Guo'er as a child seemed to emerge in her mind, and a hint of tenderness flashed in her eyes.

When the shop owner waved and invited her warmly, Xiaolongnu quietly declined his offer to help her get the steamed buns.

She stretched out her hand curiously, her fingertips trembling slightly as she carefully picked up a little tiger bun.

Xiaolongnu gently held the steamed bun in her hands, tilted her head, and looked at it carefully without blinking, her brows slightly furrowed, with a hint of hesitation and temptation on her face. She looked as if she had never seen such cute food before, and she was so cute that it made people laugh.

Then, she took the steamed bun, walked lightly with lotus steps, and took a small bite while walking. At that moment, she blinked several times, a satisfied expression appeared on her face, and there were some steamed bun crumbs on the corners of her mouth.

At this time, the shop owner hurried forward with a smile on his face, but that smile was also filled with a bit of urgency: "Girl, you haven't paid yet!"

When Xiao Longnu heard the voice, she paused and turned around slowly with a bewildered look on her face. She looked innocent and confused, her eyebrows slightly furrowed, her eyes full of doubts: "Give me money?"

The shop owner patiently explained, "The steamed buns are two cents each."

Xiao Longnu shook her head in a silly manner, her tone as innocent as a child who had never experienced the world: "I don't have any money."

When the shop owner heard this, the smile on his face disappeared instantly, and his face was full of disbelief: "You have no money, how can you eat steamed buns?"

Xiao Longnu blinked blankly, her long eyelashes fluttering, and said seriously, "You didn't ask for money."

As the shop owner's voice rose several decibels, people around him began to denounce him.

Xiaolongnu didn't understand why everyone reacted like that. She felt helpless and her hands unconsciously tugged at the corners of her clothes.

She was silent for a moment, then slowly walked back, gently raised her arm, handed the steamed bun back, and said softly: "I'm just returning the steamed bun to you." After that, she turned around and walked out of the store with graceful steps.

At this moment, the two idle hooligans saw an opportunity, greed and lust flashed in their eyes, and they stretched out their hands to put them on Xiaolongnu's shoulders.

Who is Xiaolongnu? How could she let two hooligans get close to her?

Before the two men put their arms around each other's shoulders, she raised her eyebrows, and the true energy in her body surged. The invisible air wave instantly knocked the two hooligans to the ground.

Then, she took a few steps on her own, then gently bent her knees, touched the ground with her toes, and flew into the sky gracefully.

Everyone was left standing there in amazement, thinking that it was a fairy who had descended to earth. They all knelt down and kowtowed, shouting "Buddha" and "Fairy" one after another.

After this scene, another indoor scene was filmed. Someone with bad intentions coveted Xiao Longnu's beauty and hypocritically tempted her with food: "Girl, have some food."

Xiao Longnu, however, refused seriously without hesitation: "I can't eat it, because I don't have any money."

An Xiaoqian portrayed Xiaolongnu's innocence and naiveté to the fullest, with every micro-expression and every movement being just right.

With such a character and lines, it would be impossible for someone else to achieve such an effect.

When An Xiaoqian's version of Xiaolongnu said these words, everyone just thought she was innocent and naive, and it was perfectly reasonable for her to say these words.

But if someone else played the role, just reading these lines would make the audience so embarrassed that they would dig their toes into the ground.

Hu Xiaobei sat behind the monitor, watching the images on the screen with satisfaction, secretly feeling fortunate: Fortunately, An Xiaoqian in this world is still innocent, so she can interpret this role so naturally.

In order to make this scene more exciting, Hu Xiaobei specially added an adapted version of "Human Fireworks", which is about 40% to 50% similar to the original version, but more exquisite.

He carefully modified the lyrics based on the character characteristics of Xiaolongnu and removed incompatible words such as Jiangnan and Wuyi Lane.

The music arrangement also refers to An Xiaoqian's performance as much as possible, so that the songs and the characters in the plot are perfectly integrated.

Accompanied by the melodious melody, the story of Xiaolongnu's first entry into the mortal world can be more vividly presented to the audience.

Of course, although I have an idea of ​​the song in mind, I haven't started producing it yet, and all the plans are still just ideas in my mind.
