Huayu: From "Good Fortune Across the Sky" to becoming a top star

"Want to go eat?"

Jiang Xun glanced at the time. He took the subway, and Xiao Tian would land around the same time.

"Brother Hu, you go ahead with your work, I'm going to the airport to pick someone up."

"Then I'll go with you. The roads here are quite complicated, so don't get lost."

Jiang Xun sighed helplessly.

He had just come of age, had never left the mountains, and was still illiterate.

These three core settings combined are indeed worrying.

"No need," he waved his hand, "I'm already eighteen."

"girl?"

"Um."

Hu Bo licked his lips, which were chapped from the weather, and looked Jiang Xun up and down, a hint of understanding in his eyes: "No wonder you look so handsome today. Okay, then I won't follow you. Contact me if you need anything; I'll be in the provincial capital for the next couple of days."

"it is good."

Jiang Xun turned and entered the elevator, taking out the sunglasses he had just bought and putting them on.

His figure was reflected in the elevator doors.

A windbreaker, sunglasses, a tall and straight figure, and healthy skin.

Hehe, I surprised myself with how cool I looked.

After getting off the subway at Tianfu Street, Jiang Xun took out his phone and swiped it.

The online discussion about him has reached a fever pitch.

The number of haters is increasing, and the true fans are fighting fiercely with them.

On social media, the two companies have been exchanging words back and forth, creating quite a stir.

Jiang Xun watched, not worried at all.

The more controversy it generates, the more attention it attracts.

About fifty minutes later, it was exactly 5:30.

Jiang Xun straightened his clothes, got off the subway, and walked towards the airport exit.

After a while, passengers began to disembark following the announcement that the plane had landed.

Tian Xiwei was wearing a black windbreaker, her hair was tied in a high ponytail, and she was carrying a black backpack. She looked around blankly.

Before she even saw Jiang Xun, Jiang Xun saw her first.

He blended into the crowd without making a sound, walked to her side, and gently patted her shoulder.

Tian Xi turned her head slightly, hesitated, and asked, "Jiang Xun's younger brother?"

Jiang Xun pulled his sunglasses down a bit, revealing his eyes to let her check, and then put them back on.

Then came that classic opening line etched into the DNA of the Chinese people:

Have you eaten?

Tian Xiwei smiled brightly, her dimples appearing and disappearing: "I ate a little bit of airplane food. Jiang Xun, you're even more handsome than in the video."

"Thank you. You're even a little bit prettier than in the photos on the Shanghai Theatre Academy's official website." Jiang Xun held out his hand and made a "little bit" gesture.

The two walked out side by side.

Tian Xiwei was also quite outgoing; after just a few words, Jiang Xun felt like they were old friends. This way of getting along made him very relaxed.

"Really? You chose me to play the female lead just because I'm pretty?" Tian Xi blinked, her tone filled with a hint of surprise.

"Yes," Jiang Xun nodded seriously, "but more importantly, other people's salaries are too high, and travel investment can't afford them."

Tian Xiwei chuckled: "Six thousand yuan isn't a small amount. It's just for a few days of shooting, so it's about a thousand yuan a day. It's a paid trip, I'm very satisfied."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xun silently put his hand into his pocket and clenched it.

The weather is nice, but I have no money.

This travel investment company is utterly inhumane!

Just because he was "one of our own," they only gave him four thousand dollars, treating him differently.

"So tall?" he replied without batting an eye. "Then you can treat us to dinner later."

"No problem!" Tian Xiwei agreed readily, her tone very cheerful.

Since we'll be working together on the next project anyway, she'd be happy to treat me to a meal to build a closer relationship.

"Eat whatever you want! You're the one who introduced me to this job!"

On their way back, the two of them took the subway as usual.

The subway was crowded during the evening rush hour. Jiang Xun gave up the first empty seat he saw to Tian Xiwei and stood in front of her, with one hand on the handrail.

"Do you experience altitude sickness? Xinlong is at a high altitude."

Tian Xi shook her head slightly: "I don't think so, I'm in good health."

The conversation ended.

The two were not very familiar with each other, and Jiang Xun did not like to take the initiative to start conversations, so they didn't know what to talk about for a while.

The air was silent for a few seconds. Tian Xiwei couldn't stand the atmosphere any longer and took the initiative to speak:

"Let me tell you, before I got off the plane, I had this image in my mind—"

She gestured, "You were wearing a red Tibetan robe, standing at the exit waiting for me. Then I walked up to you, stood straight, and you took out a white hada from your bosom and gently hung it around my neck."

As Jiang Xun listened, the corners of his mouth began to uncontrollably turn up; he couldn't hold it in any longer.

"Of course," he chuckled, "You are the most honored guest on our grassland."

He looked down at his windbreaker and then at the hurried crowds in the subway.

"But I feel a little embarrassed to wear a Tibetan robe on the subway in the provincial capital. I'm sorry to disappoint you."

Tian Xiwei laughed heartily, then became a little embarrassed, her cheeks flushing slightly: "So only the most distinguished guests receive a hada? Then I won't take it."

Jiang Xun looked down at her with a smile.

This little thing is so fun.

After getting off the subway, Jiang Xun walked ahead as if he had a goal, with Tian Xiwei obediently following behind.

Where are we going?

"Buy some good food before going back. There aren't many good places to eat in Xinlong. Most of the food is Tibetan, and I'm tired of it."

"Oh, is Tibetan food delicious?" Tian Xiwei was quite curious about food, especially food she had never tried before.

"Eating it occasionally is fine, but nothing can withstand eating it every day."

Jiang Xun led Tian Xiwei to a snack street, where the various aromas made his mouth water.

"Boss, how much are the pig's trotters?"

"Fifteen each."

"Two, please!"

The owner deftly scooped the pig's trotters out of the stainless steel bucket and put them into a disposable paper bowl. Tian Xiwei naturally scanned the QR code on the bucket to pay.

Looking at the glistening, reddish-brown pork hock in the bucket, Jiang Xun said, "Give me two of these too."

After Tian Xiwei finished paying, she scanned the QR code again.

Then the two of them stood at the street corner and started eating without any regard for their image.

"Wow, delicious! It's soft, chewy, and melts in your mouth." Tian Xiwei took a bite and couldn't help but squint her eyes and exclaim.

"Of course, there can't be anything this authentic in Shanghai, right?"

Tian Xi nodded slightly: "But it's not as authentic as the one in Chengdu."

"Tch." Jiang Xun didn't believe it at all.

"Don't believe me if you don't want to. I'm even planning to take you out to eat sometime." Tian Xiwei pouted.

After finishing this, the two continued walking inside, where they were overwhelmed by all sorts of snacks.

Cold rice cake, crispy fried pork, braised pork intestines, roasted sweet potato noodles, spicy wontons...

The two walked along, buying and eating as they went.

The two of them quickly carried a large pile of snacks in their hands.

Finally, we stopped at a shop with tables outside and laid out the snacks we had bought.

Then, surprisingly, neither of them questioned whether they could finish the food; they just kept eating.

In the end, the two of them finished off all the snacks on the table. They looked at each other and smiled, both seeing approval in each other's eyes.

"You like to eat this much too? Then we're friends!"
