Chapter 49: Small Breasts, Short Stature, and a Haughty Expression (Please Favorite and Recommend)

Noon.

The sky was clear, without a single cloud for ten thousand miles, looking just like a sapphire.

The sun beat down, and the temperature was scorching.

Summer had arrived; the temperature was gradually rising, and the dry, sweltering heat began to permeate the air along with the sunlight.

It was fine when not filming, as one could hide in a room and enjoy the air conditioning—cool and delightful.

But once filming started, it became troublesome. The set was huge, and the air conditioning couldn't cover everything at all. Director Lin simply didn't bother covering it and just brought in electric fans.

The morning shoot ended, and everyone let out a sigh of relief. The middle-aged actors scurried away, returning to their motorhomes to enjoy the air conditioning.

Having worked hard for most of their lives, they could still afford things like motorhomes.

But for struggling minor actors like Qi Hui and Lei Jiayin, it was a problem. They were penniless and had nothing, so they could only sweat in the heat while blowing fans.

Especially Lei Jiayin; he was preparing for his wedding and didn't dare spend money recklessly.

"Damn it, I have to get a motorhome in the future..." Qi Hui fanned himself and said viciously: "The kind with air conditioning!"

"Me too!" Lei Jiayin said just as viciously. "Once I get married and have money, I'll get one too."

He envied those middle-aged actors with motorhomes too much!

At this very moment, he no longer envied Qi Hui's Magnolia Award trophy; he envied those middle-aged actors with motorhomes even more.

Qi Hui looked around and waved at his temporary assistant: "Help me go buy a few watermelons."

As he spoke, he took out his wallet and handed it to the assistant.

Eating some watermelon would help beat the heat; otherwise, he would really get heatstroke.

"Got it, sure thing!" Upon hearing this, the assistant immediately ran off quickly.

Lei Jiayin raised an eyebrow, a flash of joy crossing his face. He wanted to eat watermelon too, but wasn't he getting married soon?

Better endure it for now; he couldn't spend money recklessly. He would talk about it later.

Fortunately, Qi Hui had stepped up.

On the other side, in the makeup room.

Choo Ja-hyun sat before the vanity, letting the makeup artist work on her. She was in a good mood and also a bit of a chatterbox.

She kept babbling away, talking incessantly: "Everyone~ I am Choo Ja-hyun~ Is it like this? Is this how it is on a show?"

"Yes, yes." Her assistant held a camera, helping her find her angles.

Unlike outside, the makeup room had air conditioning. The hairstylists and makeup artists working inside weren't as irritable as those outside.

The reason was simple: because this was the actresses' makeup room, and among the actresses, there were South Korean actresses and Hong Kong actresses. The investors had given special care and requested Director Lin to add it for them.

"What is this? What are you doing?" Chi Shuai squeezed in at the door.

Seeing the lively makeup room, he couldn't help but ask in confusion.

"Uh... Choo Ja-hyun is reviewing the flow for the show," the assistant said.

"I came to mooch off the air conditioning. I didn't disturb you, did I?" Chi Shuai said with a cheeky grin.

As he spoke, he took a bottle of hydrating and moisturizing skincare cream from his pocket and gifted it to Choo Ja-hyun: "This is my gift for mooching the air conditioning. Don't refuse, okay?"

The assistant glanced at it and secretly thought it was extravagant. It was a bottle from the South Korean brand Coreana, which was not cheap at all.

She had always wanted South Korean brand cosmetics.

However, she was not surprised by Chi Shuai's actions. During this period, Chi Shuai would run over to Choo Ja-hyun to curry favor at every turn.

She had already become accustomed to it.

Choo Ja-hyun looked at the skincare product. There was no surprise as Chi Shuai had imagined; instead, she was somewhat indifferent: "Oh... that, no need to give cosmetics. I don't need them."

Chi Shuai's expression stiffened slightly, feeling very awkward.

"You misunderstood," the assistant quickly said: "Choo Ja-hyun meant that if you want to mooch the air conditioning, just come; there's no need to give cosmetics."

"Yes... that is what I meant to say," Choo Ja-hyun said. She wasn't ignorant of social graces, just that her Mandarin wasn't good, and she couldn't express that meaning well.

Chi Shuai's expression looked slightly better, but he was still somewhat depressed.

Having given the item without receiving the expected feedback made him feel somewhat uncomfortable.

A girl's reaction to seeing South Korean cosmetics shouldn't be like this!

Knock, knock, knock~

At this moment, a knock sounded at the door. Qi Hui's assistant stood at the entrance carrying two large watermelons.

"Hello everyone, Teacher Qi bought some watermelons. Please, everyone, have some together."

As he spoke, he shook them slightly and handed the watermelons over.

"Wow, wow..." Choo Ja-hyun's eyes lit up instantly. Ignoring that she was still having her makeup done, she stood up immediately and hurriedly took the watermelons.

Chi Shuai was stunned. This reaction was a bit off, right?

Why were South Korean girls more excited to see watermelon than cosmetics?

"Oh... that, where is Oppa?" Choo Ja-hyun asked while hugging the watermelon: "I mean... um, Qi Hui."

"Teacher Qi is outside," the assistant replied: "He is sharing the watermelon with the director and Teacher Lei Jiayin."

"That... is he not coming, um, to mooch the air conditioning?" Choo Ja-hyun asked: "I mean, when is he coming over?"

The assistant was dazed for a moment, then scratched his head: "I'm not sure about that."

"Okay," Choo Ja-hyun said with some disappointment, then immediately added: "Then I'll go ask him later."

Chi Shuai's mouth twitched. Was the watermelon rind made of gold, or were the seeds made of gold?

Why did Choo Ja-hyun like it so much?

Not far away, Li Caihua frowned and asked in confusion: "Choo Ja-hyun, why do you have that attitude toward them?"

Choo Ja-hyun was bewildered: "Ah..."

What... what attitude?

Under the fan, Qi Hui and Lei Jiayin munched on the watermelon with gusto, then sighed in satisfaction.

"Comforting..."

The cold watermelon entering their stomachs removed the sweltering heat from their bodies, restoring them to their normal state.

"Old Lei, how is Li Caihua? Is she easy to get along with?" Qi Hui asked while gnawing on the watermelon.

Just now, when sharing the watermelon, Director Lin revealed the next step of the filming plan, um... it was that long sequence where Aili seduces Hong Shixian.

It included many intimate actions and kissing scenes.

During this time, Qi Hui had mainly been working with Choo Ja-hyun, filming scenes of married life, family life, and family life with parents-in-law.

It wasn't that he hadn't worked with Li Caihua, just that it was relatively rare.

On the contrary, Lei Jiayin had followed the executive director to another filming location with Li Caihua for a few days.

"Not good." As soon as Lei Jiayin heard this, he stopped eating the watermelon, complaining with a face full of annoyance: "That woman is very arrogant. I feel like she's always looking at me through her nostrils."

"I heard before that Hong Kong women have small breasts, are short, and have haughty expressions. Now I've finally seen it for myself."

"Hahaha..." Qi Hui was amused by him.

These few sentences, combined with the thick Northeast accent, inexplicably created a sense of humor.

"Hey, I'm not joking, I'm being serious!" Seeing Qi Hui laughing non-stop, Lei Jiayin immediately shouted.

"Alright, alright, then tell me, how was the trouble you encountered when working with her?" Qi Hui said.

Upon hearing this, Lei Jiayin was instantly wide awake, as if his chatterbox had been opened: "Let me tell you, that woman doesn't seem like a good person..."

He wanted to have a good chat with Qi Hui; today, he would act as if his mouth was rented.

Makeup room.

Li Caihua was giving Choo Ja-hyun a lecture on ideological education.

"Choo Ja-hyun, why do you have to be so servile?" Li Caihua said.

Choo Ja-hyun tilted her head: "Ah? Servile... me?"

Am I like what she said?
