The Common Man's Return in Chinese Entertainment

Chapter 27 Jealousy

"Ah, another day is finally over. Qingxu, is filming action scenes always this tiring?"

"Sister Bingbing, you've asked the wrong person. This is only my second time filming an action movie."

"Impressive, he got the male lead in his second film."

"Has Sister Bingbing acted in a lot of dramas?"

"You... Hmph, anyway, I have more than you."

Seeing the smile on Ji Qingxu's face, Fan Xiaopang said warily, "Hey, you can't deliberately retaliate during training tomorrow."

Ji Qingxu chuckled and said, "Do you think I'm such a petty person in Sister Bingbing's eyes?"

Fan Xiaopang pursed his lips, "I don't know yet if he's petty, but anyway, he's not anything..."

"What did Bingbing say?"

Fan Xiaopang chuckled and changed the subject, "It's nothing, let's go, I'll treat you to dinner."

"You're treating me to dinner again? Aren't you worried I'll eat up all of Bingbing's salary for this movie?"

Fan Xiaopang waved his hand dismissively, "If it's all gone, it's all gone. Money is meant to be used, otherwise what's the point of working so hard to earn it?"

"Sister Bingbing is so insightful, then I won't stand on ceremony."

"You're welcome, but if you really feel bad about it, you can give me two bottles of your medicine."

"Wow, Sister Bingbing, you've got a clever plan. I won't eat then."

"Hey, you're just being petty. He was only joking."

"There's no other way. My family depends on me to earn money, so I have to be careful with my spending."

"You're the only one earning money? What about your parents?"

"That's all."

"That's all..."

Fan Xiaopang cautiously observed Ji Qingxu's expression and asked, "Dead?"

Ji Qingxu smiled and said, "Yes, I'm the only one left in the house right now."

Upon hearing this, Fan Xiaopang quickly said, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to."

Ji Qingxu smiled and said, "Then how about you treat me to a meal to express your apology?"

Seeing the smile on Ji Qingxu's face, which was like the warm sun in early spring, Fan Xiaopang's voice became even softer, "Okay, you can eat whatever you want today, I'll pay the bill."

"Haha, thank you, Sister Bingbing."

......

After staring blankly at the neighboring yard for a long time, Fan Xiaopang let out a soft sigh.

I thought this guy had a powerful family background, but it turns out he's an orphan.

Thinking that he was so young yet could play the male lead, Fan Xiaopang felt a sense of admiration for Ji Qingxu. He was truly remarkable.

At the same time, Fan Xiaopang seemed to understand why Ji Qingxu treated him so "rudely." If Fan Xiaopang had the same opportunity to play a leading role as Ji Qingxu, he would have done the same.

Then Fan Xiaopang remembered what Sister Hua had said about Ji Qingxu at Hai Run. Fan Xiaopang couldn't help but admire him even more. After all, those people couldn't resist the temptation, but Ji Qingxu did.

Thinking of Ji Qingxu's appearance, physique, and skills, coupled with his tenacious personality, a hint of excitement flashed in Fan Xiaopang's eyes.

However, when Fan Xiaopang applied the medicine, feeling sore all over, he couldn't help but complain, "You brat, can't you be a little gentler and more generous? Are you even going to find a girlfriend in the future?"

......

The next day, when Fan Xiaopang arrived at the training room, before he could even warm up, he saw Li Cai leading Han Xue over. Seeing this, Fan Xiaopang had a bad feeling.

"Brother Li?"

Seeing Ji Qingxu looking at him with a puzzled expression, Li Cai's eyes revealed a hint of apology. "Qingxu, Miss Han, could you help with the training? She has a lot of scenes with you, and you two can work on your chemistry."

Upon hearing this, and recalling Ma Zhongjun's earlier reminder, Ji Qingxu instantly understood.

Ji Qingxu was no stranger to Han Xue. Although her reputation on the internet in later generations was not good, with people saying she was pretentious and that her family was just so-so and miscellaneous, compared to most people, Han Xue's family was already extremely well-off. It might be an exaggeration to say that she could do whatever she wanted in the entertainment industry with her family background, but most people would still give her face.

So Ji Qingxu smiled and said, "No problem, but Miss Han, let me make this clear first, my training might be a bit rough. If you don't mind, then we can train together."

Han Xue replied with a smile, "It's okay, I can endure hardship. Just train however you want."

"it is good."

"Then, Qingxu, Miss Han is in your care."

"Okay, Brother Li."

After Li Cai left, Ji Qingxu smiled and said, "Miss Han, let's warm up first. I'll teach you a set of boxing techniques."

"Okay, thank you for your help."

"We're acting together, so it's not a hassle. Sister Bingbing, why don't you practice your boxing a few times to warm up your body?"

Fan Xiaopang smiled nonchalantly and replied, "Okay."

After saying that, he walked to the side and started practicing boxing.

Thinking of the scene when Li Cai brought Han Xue over earlier, Fan Xiaopang subtly curled his lip. So you want to snatch the good stuff, huh?

Remembering Sister Hua's instructions, Fan Xiaopang could only suppress her hostility. However, her gaze remained fixed on the two of them, wanting to see if Ji Qingxu would treat this "young lady" the same way she did. If so...

After watching for a while, a smile flashed in Fan Xiaopang's eyes. This guy really is "unromantic". Hmm, Fan Xiaopang decided to forgive Ji Qingxu's previous rudeness.

After a day of training, when Ji Qingxu did not give Han Xue that magical potion, even though he was sore all over from training, Fan Xiaopang kept smiling until he returned to his room.

After closing the door, Fan Xiaopang's smile vanished instantly. "You stinky woman, so what if she has a better background... Humph!"

After taking a shower, Fan Xiaopang took out the medicine bottle that Ji Qingxu had given him and smiled smugly. Thinking about Han Xue's training program today, Fan Xiaopang chuckled to himself, "Let's see what you do tomorrow."

......

The next day, shortly after training began, Han Xue suddenly stopped.

Seeing this, Ji Qingxu asked, "Miss Han, are you feeling unwell?"

Hearing Ji Qingxu's question, Han Xue smiled awkwardly, "I'm a little exhausted, and my whole body aches."

"Then you should rest for a while, and we'll continue training later."

"Okay, I..."

Halfway through her sentence, Han Xue noticed a faint smile appearing on Fan Xiaopang's face, and her eyes narrowed.

"Qingxu, could I do you a favor?"

Seeing Han Xue's embarrassed expression, Ji Qingxu smiled and said, "Miss Han, please go ahead."

"I've heard that you martial arts practitioners are all good at massage. Could you please give me a massage? I don't want to interfere with our training."

Upon hearing Han Xue's request, Ji Qingxu was slightly surprised. Although they had only known each other for a few days, Ji Qingxu knew that this "young lady" was not the kind of person who was easy to get along with. She rarely spoke to others on set and was reserved and distant towards everyone. She didn't even stay with the others, but instead booked a room in a hotel in the city by herself, and was driven around every day. He never expected that she would make such a suggestion.

Out of the corner of his eye, Ji Qingxu glanced at Fan Xiaopang not far away and wondered to himself, "Could it be because of Fan Xiaopang? Do I have that much charm?"

Upon hearing Han Xue's words, Fan Xiaopang's smile vanished instantly. He narrowed his eyes, realizing he had underestimated this woman.

"Okay, as long as you don't mind, Sister Han Xue."

Han Xue quickly waved her hand with a smile, "It's okay, we're all doing this for better training. Shall we begin?"

"Okay, Sister Han Xue, you can sit on the ground."

"Just sit down?"

"right."

"it is good."

Seeing Han Xue sit down, Ji Qingxu began to massage her shoulders and neck. Fan Xiaopang glared at Ji Qingxu, thinking, "You jerk, you were calling me Miss Han just now, but now you're calling me Sister Han Xue just because I asked you to give me a massage? I've been training with you every day and I've never seen you so attentive."

Then Fan Xiaopang gave Han Xue a subtle glare, thinking, "So-called 'young lady,' but isn't she just a..."

"Ouch! It hurts! Qingxu, it hurts!"

Hearing Han Xue's scream, Fan Xiaopang's lips curled into a subtle smile. "Hmph, you don't really think this kid knows how to be gentle with women, do you?"

"Bear with it, the pain will pass."

Seeing that Ji Qingxu remained unmoved by Han Xue's pleas and kept pressing down on her, Fan Xiaopang felt a pang of sympathy. This guy really was "treating everyone the same."

"Sister Bingbing?"

Seeing Ji Qingxu looking at him, Fan Xiaopang quickly brandished his sword.

Seeing this, Ji Qingxu's eyes flashed with a smile. This woman was quite interesting.
