Chapter 21 Jill's Envy
Chapter 21 Jill's Envy
This is a battle without gunfire.
"Oh, Wenbo, I'm so sorry."
Yan Danchen glanced back at the wild horse with a bit of embarrassment. It was so embarrassing; how could she have lost control?
"Sister Chen, you have to make it up to me."
Given the current situation, Chen Wenbo couldn't say anything. The demonic energy had been purified, and he was still far from imparting the true scriptures. He couldn't let this loss go unpunished.
"Wenbo, I really can't go on..."
Yan Danchen surrendered, her body limp and powerless, while the wild horse remained full of fighting spirit, with absolutely no chance of victory.
"Sister Chen, I've already suffered twice because of you."
Chen Wenbo was very unhappy; Chang'e was too useless.
I remember those little girls on the street eating ice cream in big bites; if they ate it in small bites, it would have melted long ago.
"I'll make it up to you tomorrow night, but I really can't tonight."
Chen Wenbo was helpless; the fairy Chang'e refused to move an inch.
They could only make do with some peanuts to stave off hunger.
……
"I'm going to the film set. You can sleep a little longer. There's breakfast at the hotel. You can get to the film set at 9 o'clock."
Yan Danchen slept very well that night, feeling completely relaxed. She kissed the strong little wild horse, got up, and left.
Chen Wenbo saw that it was still early. Actors have to get up early to do their makeup, which must be hard work. He was about to go back to sleep when he remembered that he had promised Liu Dayao that he would have breakfast with him.
Forget it, I should get up. The fairy is gone, and the warmth in my hand is gone. What's the point of sleeping anymore?
I got up, changed my clothes, and ran to the VIP building. Self-discipline is an essential skill for every handsome guy.
Hengdian in the early morning is a wonderful place; the air, free from heavy industrial pollution, is exceptionally sweet.
I was really lucky. As soon as I arrived at the VIP building, I saw Liu Yifei getting into the car in a daze. I don't know what time she was filming last night. It looks like she didn't sleep well.
The car sped away. Chen Wenbo glanced upstairs; breakfast should already be waiting for him. He took out his phone and turned it on.
Ding Ding Ding!
Ding Ding Ding!
Several text messages came in succession.
Liu Dayao: "Wenbo, why is your phone off? Are you up yet? Come over here for breakfast."
The rest were all sung by Shu, and Chen Wenbo didn't watch them, so it must be bad news.
……
It feels so good to be waited on. Chen Wenbo washed his hands, and breakfast was already set on the table.
"Sister Li, yesterday Mr. Cai called me and said the film crew would arrange accommodation for me."
Liu Xiaoli was taken aback, but then, remembering that Chen Wenbo had already signed a special contract, the production crew should arrange accommodation, and she said with a smile:
"Let's forget about it. It's just a special assignment. I don't even know where they'll put us in a hotel. I bet the room doesn't even have a bathroom. Let's just stay in the CBD. We won't be filming for more than a few days anyway."
"President Cai specifically mentioned this to me, so I don't think it's likely. The production team can at least save some money by arranging it themselves."
Liu Xiaoli rested her chin on her hands, quietly watching the little tiger drink its porridge. "Don't worry about saving me money. It's not a big deal. Are you going to the 'Lotus Lantern' set later?"
Chen Wenbo ate three boiled eggs in three bites and drank a bowl of millet porridge. He felt that was enough. "Okay, I'll report at 9 o'clock."
"Your eyes are bloodshot. Didn't you sleep well last night?"
"Sister Li noticed right away that you didn't sleep well last night, mainly because you kept thinking about Sister Li and couldn't fall asleep."
Liu Xiaoli chuckled, "I missed you last night too."
Chen Wenbo's legs trembled. How could he have taken this demon seriously? "Sister Li, I'm done eating. I'm going to the film set now."
Without saying a word, Liu Xiaoli pressed the little tiger down onto the stool. "What's the rush? It's only 7:30. It'll only take a few minutes to get to the film set. Rest here for a while, I'll give you a head massage."
"I wanted to go early to make a good impression on the director."
"You won't have much to do on set. Just be serious while filming, nothing else matters."
How could Liu Xiaoli let her little tiger escape? Her daughter didn't get off work until almost midnight last night and got up again at 6 a.m. She thought she hadn't slept well and would be in a bad state.
But after looking in the mirror, I found that my skin was getting better and better. This can't be explained by just being in a good mood. The little tiger is so powerful, I wonder if it's because of some kind of nutrition in that area.
Unexpectedly, Liu Dayao was quite capable. After being pressed down for a while, Chen Wenbo's mind went blank, and he felt sleepy.
There's no such thing as a free lunch. I was feeling really sleepy when my mouth got gagged. I knew that woman was up to no good.
This was an unfair trade; Liu Dayao contributed about twenty minutes, while Chen Wenbo contributed less than ten minutes.
It's not that I can only last ten minutes, but rather that the system has indicated that I'm done and I should stop immediately. This "Forty Tigers" strength is only in terms of software, not hardware.
[Currently, the purification progress of the fairy energy is 25%. A large gift pack will be awarded upon complete purification.]
Liu Xiaoli hugged Chen Wenbo tightly, refusing to let go, "You're not better yet, don't worry."
"Sister Li, I'm afraid we won't have enough time."
Liu Xiaoli used the last of her strength to say, "There's still time, just hurry up."
……
It was unclear what the young girl looked like, but the young woman was definitely capable. Chen Wenbo lay on the bed to rest for a while, watching Liu Dayao drag her tired body from the bathroom to get a towel.
Liu Xiaoli carefully cleaned the little tiger, saying, "Rest for a while before going to the film set."
Chen Wenbo got up and got out of bed. Even without the blessing of the Wheel King, he could do it seven times a night. What was a little one time? "No need, I'm fine. It's getting late."
The morning's harvest was quite good; the great demon's purification progress increased by three points, reaching 27%.
Chen Wenbo arrived at the "Lotus Lantern" set right on time, thankfully not late. He found Director Cao and then dismissed Bao Liqun.
"The young man has arrived. We'll only film a few shots. You can rest in the rest area first. The production crew will notify you in advance when it's time to go on stage."
"Then I'll head over there first, Director Cao."
Chen Wenbo looked at the spot Director Cao was pointing to. There were more than ten people sitting there, but not a single familiar face. It couldn't be a good place.
A passerby saw a very handsome guy walking over and asked curiously, "Hey bro, what role are you playing?"
"Hey, just play a student at the academy, come here for a smoke."
Chen Wenbo took out another pack of Hongtashan cigarettes from his pocket and handed one to each person.
Passerby A casually took it, saying, "These are all students from the academy."
Chen Wenbo was surprised to run into his accomplices. "What a coincidence. But I heard it's just a few shots. I wonder if we'll be stuck here all day."
"Of course, the group leader has to take attendance tonight, otherwise we don't get paid. Brother, I haven't seen you before, are you new here?"
"I just started working yesterday."
Passerby B asked, "Which group leader brought you here?"
Chen Wenbo coughed. "I auditioned directly on set."
"Why would a background extra audition?"
The passerby was dumbfounded. Extras are people that the assistant director asks the casting director to find. Who is this kid?
"Chen Wenbo".
Everyone turned their heads and saw the fairy Chang'e waving at them from a distance. Who was Chen Wenbo?
The new kid got up and walked over. What's the relationship between Chang'e and this kid? She even bought him water. How enviable!
