Shadow of Chinese Entertainment

Chapter 74 High Technology
Hu Xiaobei's body stiffened instantly, his eyes suddenly widened, his face full of surprise and panic, his heart beat violently, and he almost lost his balance and slipped off the wall.

You have to know that his room is located between An Xiaoqian and Zhou Xiaowen's rooms. Although he has the ability to perceive spiritual consciousness, he can know the movements in Zhou Xiaowen's room.

But this is not the case with An Xiaoqian. After all, she is a girl, and it is easy for her to spy on some little secrets with her spiritual perception ability.

Therefore, even if Hu Xiaobei activated his spiritual perception ability, he would not check the situation in An Xiaoqian's room.

Fortunately, An Xiaoqian has a very regular life schedule. Since she starts martial arts training at 6:30 every morning, she usually goes to bed early at 8 or 9 o'clock in the evening.

Therefore, Hu Xiaobei never worried that something might go wrong on her side. Even if she saw something, he would not be implicated due to the double cover of night and shadows.

Just like when he opened the window just now, he also carefully observed the surroundings.

After making sure that An Xiaoqian's room was pitch black and there was no light on, he naturally assumed that she had fallen asleep.

But he never expected that when he had just closed the window and was standing horizontally on the outer wall, An Xiaoqian would appear without any warning.

This sudden situation made Hu Xiaobei's mind fall into panic in an instant, just as he was nervously thinking about countermeasures.

An Xiaoqian gently moved the window open, poked out her cute, round little head, waved, and said softly, "Xiaobei, come in quickly. I have something to ask you."

She looked as if she wanted to chat with him about family matters.

Covered by shadows and the darkness of night, with only a pair of eyes visible, Hu Xiaobei was confident enough that his appearance should not be recognized.

He tried to calm down, quickly came up with a solution, and adjusted his voice to that of a middle-aged man: "Little girl, you've got the wrong person."

Seeing that he dared to quibble, An Xiaoqian took out her cell phone and held it out the window, shaking it twice proudly: "Believe it or not, I'll call you right now."

Hu Xiaobei pondered in silence, thinking about it, knowing that he could not escape this danger. Fortunately, he did not activate the shadow wings, so he could still be saved.

With An Xiaoqian's intelligence, maybe she can make it back by fooling around a bit, right?

I can't care about too many things anymore. I will just do my best and leave the rest to fate. Whether it succeeds or not, I have to give it a try.

He shook his head helplessly, thinking it was a bad idea, and then he slowly walked into the tiger's den, gently closing the window.

An Xiaoqian's room was originally pitch black, and she only turned on a desk lamp when he came in.

The dim light didn't make the room as bright as day, but it was enough to make people see things.

At this moment, the two looked at each other and the atmosphere was slightly tense.

An Xiaoqian was the first to break the silence. She extended her hand and made a 'please' gesture. She looked at him with sparkling eyes and said softly, "Student Hu Xiaobei, please start your argument."

Hu Xiaobei opened his mouth slightly, but was speechless for a moment, his eyes flickering, and he didn't know where to start.

After a long while, he asked softly, "What do you know?"

An Xiaoqian raised her chin slightly, a hint of pride flashing in her eyes: "I know a lot, but I just want to see how you can quibble."

Hu Xiaobei naturally didn't believe it, but he also knew that continuing to stalemate like this would not solve the problem.

He pointed to his shoes and began to explain: "This is a high-tech product, so I can stick to the wall."

An Xiaoqian just looked at him quietly without saying a word.

Obviously, she didn't buy this explanation.

Seeing this, Hu Xiaobei pointed to his own shadow mask and explained again: "You know the face-changing technique in Sichuan Opera, right? This mask is made based on the principle of face-changing."

After that, he motioned An Xiaoqian to watch carefully, then stretched out his right hand in front of her and slowly moved it from right to left. At the same time, he put on a confident and sincere smile, trying to make her believe it.

An Xiaoqian took a step forward, staring at the mask, only to see that the mask was disappearing as Hu Xiaobei's right hand moved.

She looked at it curiously for a while, but didn't find any clues.

Just when she was full of confusion, Hu Xiaobei spoke again, with a hint of ridicule on his face: "Well, do you believe it now? I told you it's high-tech and you can't find it."

Seeing that she couldn't find the mask, An Xiaoqian's gaze naturally shifted to his shoes.

Hu Xiaobei smiled mischievously and deliberately joked, "Why, you want to see? Come closer if you want to see. I haven't had time to wash my feet tonight!"

An Xiaoqian frowned slightly, wrinkled her nose slightly, took a half step back, and asked, "Anything else?"

Hu Xiaobei's eyes drifted to the side unconsciously. He spread his hands, his shoulders shrugged slightly, and said speechlessly, "Where are there any more? They're gone. Do you think high-tech products are like cabbage, sold by the pound?"

An Xiaoqian tilted her head slightly, staring intently at Hu Xiaobei with a faint smile on her lips. She pressed on, "Is it really gone?"

Her voice was soft and gentle, but seemed to carry an indescribable determination.

Hu Xiaobei swallowed, his Adam's apple rolling up and down, a flash of panic in his eyes. He quickly shook his head to cover it up, but still pretended to be calm and responded: "It's really gone."

An Xiaoqian blinked her beautiful eyes, her eyelashes trembling slightly. With a hint of cunning and certainty, she asked, "Oh, really? Then, where are those big wings that can fly?"

She took another small step forward, leaning slightly forward, as if trying to see through Hu Xiaobei's disguise.

When Hu Xiaobei heard this, his body shook violently, his eyes froze for a moment, his pupils shrank slightly, and the smile on his face froze instantly.

Then he quickly shook his head to deny: "What big wings? I don't have them." His eyes began to wander, and he didn't dare to look An Xiaoqian in the eye.

An Xiaoqian's smile deepened, her eyes curved into crescent shapes, and she said in a drawn-out voice, "Oh~ Really not?

I took a video...it's pretty good. Hey, little classmate, do you want to take a look?"

As she spoke, she slowly raised her cell phone and waved it proudly in front of Hu Xiaobei.

Hu Xiaobei let out a long breath, his shoulders drooping slightly. He said with an attitude that had almost given up resistance and accepted his fate: "Well, it's good that you know these things. Don't spread them to others."

His eyes were solemn, and his brows furrowed slightly. "These high-tech equipment are state secrets. If leaked, the consequences could be serious or minor. You, remember to delete the video. Don't leave any future problems."

An Xiaoqian patted her chest lightly, her eyes bright and firm, and assured with certainty: "Don't worry, I will definitely not leave any video.

And I will definitely keep it a secret for you and will never reveal this to anyone other than you and me."

Hu Xiaobei knew she was deliberately teasing him with the plot from the novel, and he felt helpless, but he had to continue to remind her: "You, this is not a joke."

He stared at An Xiaoqian, leaned forward slightly, and said in a more serious tone, "Think about it, if foreign countries knew about this advanced high-tech equipment, guess what would happen?"

Upon hearing this, An Xiaoqian restrained her smile, the corners of her mouth gradually straightened, and her expression became serious.

She said seriously, "Well, I know, I'll keep it a secret. But you have to let me play with it."

"No, how can I, a grown man, let you play with me?" Hu Xiaobei deliberately changed the subject, his eyes dodged for a moment, then looked away, and his head turned to the side unconsciously.

An Xiaoqian's lips were tightly closed, the corners of her mouth were slightly turned down, and her eyes were narrowed with a hint of knife intent, as if giving a silent warning.
