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

Chapter 43 I'm already an "adult"

After changing their clothes, the two arrived at the shuttle bus waiting outside the film studio.

When I was taking off my clothes just now, I actually asked Ji Xiaohe for help.

The tie at the back of the shirt was quite convenient when I put it on in the morning; I just tied a knot at the back and it was secure. But for some reason, it became a knot when I took it off, and I couldn't untie it no matter how hard I tried. In the end, I had to ask Ji Xiaohe for help.

When changing clothes in the afternoon, Xu Jingxing wore his clothes shirtless in order to stay cool.

As soon as Ji Xiaohe helped him untie the clothes, the fabric, which was made of smooth silk, slipped off and fell to the ground, exposing his entire upper body.

Ji Xiaohe blushed instantly, and only left behind the words "I'll wait for you outside" before hurriedly running out.

She is indeed a rather shy girl.

This made Xu Jingxing feel like a perverted old man.

However, considering my mental age of forty, I realize that I am indeed no different from a perverted old man.

After sitting in the car for a while, and waiting until the last group of prop crew had packed up their things, the driver, after confirming that there was no one left on set, started the car and drove towards the hotel.

Upon arriving at the hotel, Ji Xiaohe first went back to her room to put down her tool bag, and when she came out again, she had changed her clothes.

On set, for work convenience, Ji Xiaohe wore a functional outfit similar to a director's uniform, which was baggy and covered in pockets, along with even baggy work pants, and always wore a hat.

Emerging from her room, Ji Xiaohe changed into a plain white T-shirt and shorts, letting her hair down with natural, slightly wavy curls. Her doe-like eyes were no longer hidden under her hat, and she wore sequined sandals on her slender legs. Like a lively little deer in the forest, she ran towards Xu Jingxing.

Seeing her chest heave slightly as she ran towards him, Xu Jingxing couldn't help but be momentarily lost in thought.

What a treasure of a girl! Who would have thought that such a petite girl would be carrying such a huge thing on her head?

"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting, Teacher Xu," Ji Xiaohe said, slightly out of breath. "My clothes were a little dirty during the day, so I changed them, which took a while."

Xu Jingxing was still immersed in the turbulent waves he had just witnessed, and blurted out, "Good job, good job."

"Huh? What did you say, Teacher Xu?" Ji Xiaohe tilted her head and looked at Xu Jingxing.

"It's nothing, it's nothing." Xu Jingxing recovered his composure. "Don't call me Teacher Xu anymore, it sounds weird. Just call me by my name."

Ji Xiaohe frowned, seemingly struggling with how to address Xu Jingxing. After hesitating for a while, she couldn't come up with a solution and could only manage a "okay".

Hengdian is famous because of its film and television city. Most of the people who come here are people who dream of becoming actors. Most of them have irregular schedules, so even late at night, there are still many restaurants and food stalls open on the street.

"Is there anything you'd like to eat?" Xu Jingxing asked.

"I'm fine with anything! Old Xu..." Realizing she had used the wrong address again, Ji Xiaohe changed her address to "Brother."

"Brother Xu?" Xu Jingxing chuckled. "Am I that old?"

"No, no!" Ji Xiaohe blinked her innocent doe eyes and shook her head repeatedly, explaining, "I meant 'Brother Xu'."

"Just call me Brother Jingxing." Xu Jingxing smiled and pointed to a fried skewer and wonton shop not far ahead. "Want some fried skewers and wontons?"

"Okay, Brother Jingxing." Ji Xiaohe smiled sweetly.

The two went into the shop and found a table to sit down.

Xu Jingxing pushed the menu in front of Ji Xiaohe, "Take a look and see what you want to eat. Order whatever you like. It's on me today."

"No need for that, a bowl of wontons will do."

Ji Xiaohe picked up a pencil and put a checkmark next to the wonton option.

"That won't do. Wontons and fried skewers are a perfect match. Eating just one of them won't have much of a soul."

Xu Jingxing simply stopped letting Ji Xiaohe order and took the menu to start marking things up.

Eggplant, stinky tofu cubes, fried tofu puffs, fried chicken cutlets...

Cross them all out.

"Brother Jingxing, isn't this too much?"

"It's okay, I have a big appetite."

After handing the menu to the waiter, Ji Xiaohe took out a pack of wet wipes from her bag and handed it to Xu Jingxing, "Brother Jingxing, wipe your hands."

Thanks.

Taking the wet wipe, Xu Jingxing dried his hands, looked at Ji Xiaohe who exuded youthful energy, and said:

"Look how nice you look dressed. Why do you always dress like a tomboy on set?"

Hearing Xu Jingxing's praise, Ji Xiaohe blushed and whispered, "Teacher Xiaomei won't let me wear my own clothes, saying that I have to wear a uniform to work."

"Bullshit! I think he's just envious of you." Xu Jingxing said indignantly.

Why would he envy me?

"He envies you because you're a woman!"

Ji Xiaohe looked puzzled. "Brother Jingxing, I don't understand what you're saying."

"You're still young. You'll understand these things when you're older."

"But I'm already an adult!" Ji Xiaohe raised her pretty face slightly.

Xu Jingxing's eyes silently swept over Ji Xiaohe's chest.

Yes! He's definitely a "grown-up" now.

After the fried skewers were ready, Xu Jingxing took a few individual pancakes from the counter and handed one to Ji Xiaohe.

"Try it, it tastes especially good when rolled up like this."

"I still have wontons. I won't have any more room after I finish the pancake."

Although she verbally refused, Ji Xiaohe still obediently accepted the single-serving cake that Xu Jingxing handed her.

Just as Xu Jingxing finished a pancake, he saw two scantily clad girls carrying two dozen beers walking towards where the two men were sitting.

"Hey bro, you guys seem to be having a great time chatting, how about some beer to liven things up?"

A beer girl with a ponytail placed a dozen beers on the table between the two of them.

"Would you like some beer?"

Xu Jingxing looked at Ji Xiaohe.

"Huh? I've never drunk alcohol before, Brother Jingxing, I'm afraid of bitterness."

Ji Xiaohe waved her hands repeatedly.

Hearing that Ji Xiaohe had no intention of drinking, Xu Jingxing was about to wave the two away when another beer girl with a Sassoon haircut clearly realized that if they wanted to sell the beer, they had to start with Ji Xiaohe.

So he walked up to Ji Xiaohe, half-squatted down, and said with a smile:

"Sister, this beer has a strong malt flavor and isn't bitter at all. It's especially smooth when chilled, making it perfect for girls."

The ponytail quickly chimed in, "You two can buy a few bottles to try first. Today, buy four and get two free, which works out to less than 6 yuan per bottle. It's a great deal."

"Uh~"

Ji Xiaohe clearly didn't know how to refuse others, and was momentarily speechless.

She had no choice but to look to Xu Jingxing for help.

"Okay, give me a dozen!"

Xu Jingxing thought about it and realized that he did indeed want to drink some ice-cold beer to cool off today.

So, he took out his wallet and bought a dozen beers.

He opened a bottle and pushed it in front of Ji Xiaohe.

"Drink as much as you can, have a little with me. If you don't like it, I'll go get you a Coke from the freezer."

"OK!"

Ji Xiaohe stopped refusing and poured the wine into a glass.

Then she raised her glass, her eyes crinkling into crescent shapes with a smile.

"Brother Jingxing, it's a pleasure to meet you."

"Me too, cheers!"

"Cheers!"
