Chapter 189 Don't overthink it

Good medicine tastes bitter, but Chen Qian never expected it to be this bitter.

He typed back to Jian Ning: "Fine, I'll endure any hardship for the sake of long hair!!!"

After sending the message, he put down his phone, looked at the pill that he had only chewed a small dent into, closed his eyes, and with a look of resignation, put it directly into his mouth and chewed it.

With each bite, his face contorted in a grotesque grimace.

When his master came in from outside, he saw the man's wonderfully varied expression and teased, "What delicious food are you eating?"

Chen Qian was still chewing, not swallowing, and couldn't answer. He just pointed to the medicine bottle on the table.

Inside the clear glass bottle, there were also ten hair growth pills.

The master opened it and smelled it. "It smells quite nice, sesame balls?"

Chen Qian finally swallowed it with great difficulty. "Yes, my friend gave it to me. He said it has a miraculous effect on hair growth."

"How much is it? Don't rip you off, kid," the master chuckled, subconsciously touching the top of his head.

Baldness is a standard feature for paparazzi.

Over the years, he's tried every kind of medicine, both domestic and foreign, but none of them worked. Even if they were effective, he had to use them every day, otherwise his hair would fall out as soon as he stopped taking them, and he didn't have that kind of patience.

"I didn't spend any money." Chen Qian touched his nose guiltily.

No money was spent, but a lot of resources were used, and his master even helped a lot.

The master picked up the bottle and examined it carefully. He found it was just a transparent glass bottle and couldn't help but remind him, "Then you have to be even more careful. Don't let it be some kind of counterfeit or substandard product."

"No, my friend wouldn't cheat me," Chen Qian said.

The master smiled meaningfully, "It's good that you've finally figured it out, kid. After all these years, it's time to find someone to keep you company."

Chen Qian's eyes widened suddenly, and he blurted out, "No, she's not my girlfriend, Master, don't overthink it! She's a friend."

"Alright, alright, friend." Master's smile widened.

Chen Qian had a bellyful of things to say, but he held back, his face turning red with embarrassment.

It’s not true if you say it, and it’s not true if you don’t say it.

"Master, I..."

The master spoke with the air of someone who had been through it all, "It's alright, Master understands."

He smiled slightly, gave a meaningful look, and turned to leave.

Chen Qian: "..." Speechless.

No, this is genuine friendship.

Chen Qian worked as a paparazzi, facing celebrities every day; he'd seen all sorts of handsome men and beautiful women.

He admitted that Jian Ning was indeed beautiful.

But his feelings for Jian Ning were at most those of a brother for his sister; he really had no other intentions.

A moment later, his good friend came in again, put his arm around his shoulder, and said, "I heard everything from Master. Tell me honestly, it was Jian Ning, right? This time, you really went the extra mile for her friend."

Chen Qian exclaimed excitedly, "No, I'm not dating anyone."

My good buddy immediately understood, "Got it, don't get excited, take it slow."

On the other side, Jian Ning was picked up by Zhang Nan's assistant.

The production crew had arranged a special rest area for the actors, and Jian Ning sat in Zhang Nan's rest area while waiting.

After a short while, Zhang Nan arrived, dressed in an ancient costume, with a large down jacket over it because it was so cold.

Upon seeing Jian Ning, her voice immediately became involuntarily lowered.

"Ningning~"

Then, a big hug.

I missed you so much.

Jian Ning nearly choked on her breath. "I suspect you're trying to murder me."

"I'm just too excited," Zhang Nan chuckled.

Suddenly, a voice came from not far away.

"Jian Ning, we meet again." Xia Momo, sporting an exquisite leading lady makeup look, waved and greeted her.

Jian Ning politely replied, "Mm."

Xia Momo warmly invited, "If you have time, come and play in my RV. I have a lot to talk to you about."

Zhang Nan tugged at Jian Ning's sleeve and whispered in a tone reserved for just the two of them, "Don't go, lest you be plotting something bad again."

"It's okay, you should rest for a while." Jian Ning patted Zhang Nan's hand reassuringly, then walked over to Xia Momo. "Okay, let's chat then."

Xia Momo's smile was slightly cold, but she warmly took her arm: "Let's go. Actually, I've missed you quite a bit since we last met. Luckily, your retirement from the entertainment industry is like you haven't retired at all; we still see you frequently on the trending topics."
