Huayu: Brother, I'm having such a great time!

Chapter 36 Joining the Group

Happy times always fly by.

Before we knew it, the day was almost here for the film crew to start shooting.

Liu Shishi returned to school three days after having dinner with Xu Jingxing last time, because the drama she was currently filming had finished and the end of the semester was approaching.

Zhang Jiani successfully made it into the top 20 nationwide after the first competition.

Regarding the 10,000 yuan that Xu Jingxing transferred to her, she simply replied with a "thank you" on the day she received it.

After that, neither of them mentioned the matter again, whether by phone or text message.

She's too strong-willed.

The less they talk about it, the more they etch it into their very bones.

Meanwhile, Xu Jingxing and Tang Yan had just moved into their new home, and the two were snuggling together watching TV.

These past few days have been exhausting for Xu Jingxing. Not only did he have to pack his and Tang Yan's things, but he also packed Mao Junjie and Guo Zhenni's things, just waiting for them to come back and pick up their luggage.

The TV series "Chinese Paladin 1" was airing, and Xu Jingxing was watching it with great interest, while Tang Yan was fiddling with her new phone.

I've had my new phone for a few days now, and the novelty hasn't worn off yet.

I downloaded the QQ app and am now stealing vegetables from everyone's farm.

Although it's a text-based game, I still had a lot of fun playing it.

He kept marveling at how powerful the phone was.

Xu Jingxing couldn't help but smile after hearing this.

This is far from the limits of technology. In a few years, mobile phones will be as functional as computers.

......

The next morning at eight o'clock, Xu Jingxing and Tang Yan were both woken up by their alarm clocks.

Today is the day Xu Jingxing joined the crew, and it's also the day Tang Yan finished filming her last scene.

After joining the crew, Xu Jingxing will move to a hotel arranged by the production team.

Although Tang Yan's production team arranged a hotel, it was a low-budget production, so the hotel was not only in poor condition but also not very close to the filming location. In addition, Tang Yan had just rented a house when she joined the production team and signed an agreement with the production team not to stay in the hotel arranged by the production team.

The production team of "Investiture of the Gods" was different. They generously rented an entire hotel and required all cast and crew members to stay there together for easier management.

After getting up, he took a shower with Tang Yan, and at 9:30, he arrived at the hotel on time with his luggage.

After checking in at the front desk, I had a quick lunch at the hotel restaurant. At 2 PM, it was time for the cast and crew's meeting.

He entered the conference room, saw Han Dong, greeted him, and then sat down next to Han Dong.

"What have you been busy with these past few days? I've called you to ask you to come out, but you haven't." Han Dong asked.

"I rented a new place and have been busy moving things these past few days."

"The crew has already arranged accommodations, why are you spending that money?" Han Dong yawned. "My lease expired yesterday, so I just spent the whole night at an internet cafe playing Red Alert. I'm so tired."

"After filming this movie, I'll still be staying at Hengdian, and my friend will also be staying there."

"Friend?" Han Dong's drowsiness vanished instantly, his gossip-loving soul stirring. "Girlfriend?"

Xu Jingxing pretended not to hear and ignored him.

Han Dong wanted to ask more questions, but Yan Baiya suddenly appeared and sat down next to the two of them.

Upon seeing Xu Jingxing, Yan Baiya couldn't help but feel embarrassed. "Um... I heard everything from Shishi about what happened that day. I'm so sorry for getting your clothes dirty."

Xu Jingxing waved his hand, indicating that she shouldn't mind. In fact, he was grateful to her. If it weren't for her help, he wouldn't have been able to get along with Liu Shishi so quickly.

Han Dong, his gossip-loving spirit reignited, leaned closer again. "Damn, after that day, there was more to it? Tell me, what happened?"

"Get out!" Xu Jingxing and Yan Baiya said in unison.

Soon, the conference room was filled with about a hundred crew members, all staring at the three directors and screenwriters on the stage.

The main actors haven't arrived yet; they'll be there before tomorrow's opening ceremony.

Several other actors, due to scheduling conflicts, will not arrive at the hotel until the evening.

Watching the bigwigs on stage speak eloquently, Xu Jingxing couldn't help but sigh, "They're really good at talking."

However, Xu Jingxing didn't remember a word of what was said and spent nearly two hours of the group meeting in a daze.

As for Han Dong next to him, he fell into a sweet dream as soon as the meeting began.

In the evening, Xu Jingxing went out for dinner with Yan Baiya and Han Dong. Last time, Han Dong treated them, but this time, halfway through the meal, Xu Jingxing took the opportunity to go to the restroom to pay the bill.

Yan Baiya complained for a while, as she was thinking of using this meal to make up for getting Xu Jingxing's clothes dirty.

Back at the hotel, just after I finished showering, Zhang Jiani called.

"Jingxing, quickly turn on your computer and log in to QQ."

"Huh?" Xu Jingxing was a little confused.

"What do you mean 'huh'?! Hurry up!"

"good!"

After hanging up the phone, I opened my laptop and logged into QQ.

As soon as she went online, Zhang Jiani's QQ avatar started flashing, sending a QQ video call request.

Click to connect.

The first thing you see is a hotel bed.

Then, Zhang Jiani's face appeared on the computer screen.

"Huh? Where did you get this computer?"

Xu Jingxing was a little curious.

"Hehe." Zhang Jiani smiled at the camera, "Now that I've made it into the top 20, I'll be moving to a hotel arranged by the production team. I saw that this room has a computer, so I went and bought a webcam."

Xu Jingxing laughed, "Then it must be that God knew I missed you, so He specially arranged for a computer to be placed in your room."

"Really?" Zhang Jiani's eyes were watery, and her voice softened.

"You mean the computer?" Xu Jingxing teased her deliberately.

"No, I'm asking if you really miss me?"

"Of course, I think about you all the time."

"Me too." Zhang Jiani's nose tingled with emotion. "I miss you so much, I can't sleep because I miss you so much."

There was a moment of silence on both sides of the screen.

Xu Jingxing faced the screen, put his hand inside his shirt, and placed it on his chest.

"Thump! Thump! Thump!" He mimicked the beating of a heart by moving his hands.

"Look, it's thinking about you, its heart is pounding!"

Zhang Jiani was amused by his appearance, then stood up and said to Xu Jingxing on the screen:

"Close your eyes first, and then open them when I'm finished."

"Is he going to send me a gift from afar?"

"Close your eyes first!" Zhang Jiani said in a soft, sweet voice.

"good!"

Xu Jingxing obediently closed his eyes.

After a while, Zhang Jiani gave him the instruction to open his eyes, which came from the speaker.

Xu Jingxing slowly opened his eyes.

Xu Jingxing was stunned by the sight before him.

On the screen, Zhang Jiani is slowly taking off her bathrobe.

Then, the black stockings suit worn underneath was revealed.

"Jiani?"

Xu Jingxing swallowed hard, instantly feeling his mouth and tongue dry.

"What's wrong?" Zhang Jiani's cheeks flushed.

"You... why do you still keep this? Didn't I tear it to shreds back then?"

This outfit was the same one Xu Jingxing wore during their battle on the day he left.

I tore many parts of it myself.

Wearing this on Zhang Jiani at this moment, it has an even more unique allure.

"It... still smells like you." Zhang Jiani lowered her head, biting her lip, too shy to look Xu Jingxing in the eye. "So I didn't throw it away. When I miss you, I wear it, as if you're still by my side."

Xu Jingxing was stunned, his Adam's apple bobbing up and down.

Right now, he couldn't wait to hold Zhang Jiani in his arms.

"Jiani!" Xu Jingxing said.

"Um?"

"From now on, you will follow my instructions."
