Chapter 37, "The Wandering Swordsman," is finished.
Hearing this question, Ji Qingxu gave her a speechless look. "Which eye of yours saw that I was reluctant to part with you?"
Fan Xiaopang snorted, "You can fool others but you can't fool me. The way you looked at He Lin when she left was a little strange."
"You're crazy. I barely spoke a few words to her on set."
Thinking back on his time on set, Fan Xiaopang was stunned. Ji Qingxu was indeed not lying. Apart from himself, he would only talk to the other actresses on set if they had scenes with him. Otherwise, he would just give them a simple greeting.
But thinking of Ji Qingxu's gaze just now, Fan Xiaopang blinked in confusion. Could he have seen wrong?
Ji Qingxu glanced at Fan Xiaopang, who was deep in thought beside her, and thought to herself, "This woman has such good eyesight."
Although He Lin was not bad-looking, Ji Qingxu was not interested in her. The reason he glanced at her a few more times was because in his previous life, Ji Qingxu had seen a gossip news article online that said Chen Kun, one of the representatives of the middle generation of actors, might have a relationship with her son.
She was a student in the class of '96 at Beijing Film Academy and a classmate of Chen Kun. She acted in a few dramas in 2000, the year she graduated from university, and then disappeared from the entertainment industry. This is the first drama she has acted in since she disappeared in 2000, so Ji Qingxu is a little curious.
After all, the mystery of Chen Kun's son's mother remained unsolved until 2025.
Seeing that Ji Qingxu was ignoring him, Fan Xiaopang tugged at Ji Qingxu's sleeve, "He knows he was wrong and shouldn't have misunderstood you."
"If apologies were enough, what would we need the police for?"
Hearing this, Fan Xiaopang said in a coquettish tone, "Then what will it take for you to forgive me?"
Ji Qingxu leaned close to her ear and whispered, "Next time, use your mouth all the time..."
After hearing Ji Qingxu's request, Fan Xiaopang slapped Ji Qingxu angrily, "All you do is humiliate people, hmph."
Seeing Fan Xiaopang stride forward after speaking, Ji Qingxu chuckled and followed.
......
April arrived quickly.
After finishing work that day, Ji Qingxu received a phone call.
"Okay, Teacher Zhang, I understand... No problem, I'll wait for your notification, bye-bye."
After hanging up the phone, Ji Qingxu looked north.
Due to special circumstances, many work plans have to be adjusted, either postponed or canceled. For example, the Mengzhou Football Team's matches were originally scheduled to be held in June with the Italian Singers and Stars Football Team in Beijing and Shanghai for two benefit performances.
Captain Zhang Feng just called Ji Qingxu and said that the two matches have been temporarily canceled. As for when they will resume, we will have to wait for further notice.
Thinking back, it seems things won't return to normal until June. After glancing at the crew members around him, Ji Qingxu tightened his mask and walked towards the distant farmhouse.
......
By late April, the crew of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" had finished filming all their scenes at Zhuozhou Film and Television City, and immediately packed up and headed to Ningxia Autonomous Region.
All the following scenes will be filmed here, with filming locations including Helan Mountain, the Western Xia Imperial Tombs, Shahu Lake, and Zhenbeibao.
"Ah, it's so beautiful. After filming this movie, I want to stay here for a while."
Seeing that Fan Xiaopang was staring straight at him after saying that, Ji Qingxu smiled and said, "You can stay as long as you want. Anyway, I'll be on summer vacation after filming wraps up."
"Hmph, so what if you're a student?"
Ji Qingxu chuckled and teased, "Students are nothing special, but people who sleep with students are quite remarkable."
Hearing this, Fan Xiaopang couldn't help but punch Ji Qingxu a few times. "You stinky Qingxu, can't you say something sweet to coax me?"
"Hey, you're such a cunning woman. If I say sweet words, you'll suspect that I've dated a lot of girls."
Fan Xiaopang laughed angrily, "Who told you to spout nonsense before, even lying to me that martial arts teach that..."
Ji Qingxu laughed and denied it, "Who lied to you? You don't think that learning martial arts is just about learning some fighting and killing moves, do you? Medical skills, bedroom arts, massage and all those are included."
Fan Xiaopang asked suspiciously, "Really? Why do those martial arts heroes on TV go to see a doctor when they're injured?"
"Sister Bingbing, I have a suggestion for you: read more books in your spare time. Reading may not necessarily increase your knowledge, but it will definitely broaden your horizons."
Upon hearing this, Fan Xiaopang immediately covered his face and "cried," saying, "He looked down on me for my poor background before, and now he looks down on me for my low education level. Waaah, what a heartless guy! He slept with me and then started to look down on me. Before, he would watch the stars and the moon with me and call me 'sweetie,' but now..."
Not hearing Ji Qingxu's words of comfort, Fan Xiaopang peeked through his fingers and saw that Ji Qingxu had already walked away. Fan Xiaopang's face turned red with anger. "Ji Qingxu, I won't let you get away with this!"
After saying that, he quickly rushed towards Ji Qingxu.
"Haha, don't hit so hard, or I'll have to massage you if you hurt yourself."
"Mind your own business, I'll beat you to death today, you bastard."
......
On June 12th, the crew of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".
"Cut!"
After reviewing the footage on the camera, He Qun looked up and saw everyone in the crew staring at him. He smiled and announced, "I hereby declare that filming for 'The Wandering Swordsman' has officially wrapped after 100 days."
With a loud "boom," everyone in the crew cheered.
After filming for more than three months, working no less than twelve hours a day, and shooting action scenes in multiple locations, everyone was feeling quite tired. When they heard He Qun announce the wrap-up, the entire crew was very excited.
"Hey, this is your first time playing the male lead in a film. Aren't you a little reluctant to leave?"
Upon hearing Fan Xiaopang's question, Ji Qingxu smiled and looked at her, saying, "Yes, not only because of the male lead, but more importantly because I met Sister Bingbing on this set."
Hearing this answer, Fan Xiaopang's smile widened even more. "Hmph, who knows if you're just trying to flatter me?"
"Then I'll prove it to you tonight?"
Seeing the mischievous grin on Ji Qingxu's face, Fan Xiaopang retorted without backing down, "Don't let your legs go weak tonight."
"Haha, okay, I'll definitely make sure you're satisfied tonight, Sister Bingbing."
Thinking of Ji Qingxu's imposing presence, Fan Xiaopang subconsciously pursed his lips. "Qingxu, you haven't forgotten what you said about spending some time with me, have you?"
Noticing the expectation in Fan Xiaopang's eyes, Ji Qingxu smiled gently, "As long as Sister Bingbing is willing, I can stay with you forever."
Fan Xiaopang gave Ji Qingxu a deep look and smiled gently, "Then let's stay here for a while after we finish filming."
"it is good."
......
"Qingxu, come on, let's have a drink, you two brothers."
"Okay, Jia Yi, shall we drink this in one gulp?"
"Drink it all in one gulp!"
As Ji Qingxu and Zhang Jiayi downed their drinks in one gulp, everyone at the table burst into enthusiastic applause.
"Okay! ×N"
"Qingxu, eat something first to calm down. It's my turn next."
"Haha, no problem."
"Here, have a sip of soup."
Ji Qingxu took the soup bowl from Fan Xiaopang and sipped it.
After finishing his drink and eating a few bites of food, Ji Qingxu picked up his wine glass again.
Aside from those at his own table, Ji Qingxu proactively offered a toast to everyone. People at other tables also came to toast him. When others offered him a toast, Ji Qingxu only made a token gesture, not drinking it all in one gulp like he did with those at his own table. Even so, by the end of the gathering, Ji Qingxu had drunk quite a bit.
"How are you? Are you alright?"
Seeing Fan Xiaopang's concerned expression, Ji Qingxu leaned close to her ear and whispered, "Sister Bingbing, I want to *you* right now."
Hearing this, Fan Xiaopang gave Ji Qingxu a reproachful look, both amused and exasperated. This guy, he had just drunk so much wine and still had such a high spirits.
Thinking of how Ji Qingxu always bullied him, Fan Xiaopang smelled the alcohol on Ji Qingxu and his eyes darted around. "Okay, let's go back to the hotel."
"Um."
......
"You bastard, are you faking being drunk?"
"Did I just drink water?"
"you......"
"Hehe, Sister Bingbing, this just proves that I can hold my liquor pretty well."
"Wait...don't..."
After a long while, Ji Qingxu let out a long breath. Looking at Fan Xiaopang, who was already fast asleep on the bed, Ji Qingxu smiled contentedly, feeling that he had sobered up quite a bit.
As the old saying goes, wine is the matchmaker for lust, and lust can both intoxicate and sober you up.
After glancing at the time on the wall and smelling the lingering scent of alcohol on his body, Ji Qingxu decided to take a shower the next morning. He walked to the side, turned off the light, gently pulled Fan Xiaopang into his arms, and closed his eyes.
