Huayu 2021: Isn’t he in the technology field?

Chapter 132 Exhausting Efforts, Mutual Appreciation
At 11 p.m., Jiang Qing was driving Chen Duling home.

As the sea breeze, carrying a salty scent, swept through the car window, Chen Duling, in the passenger seat, touched her lower lip with her fingertip for the third time.

The car navigation system suddenly emitted a sweet female voice.

"We're passing a popular spot for couples to take photos. Shall we play 'Sweet Honey'?"

"This navigation system talks too much!"

Jiang Qing tapped the screen frantically, recalling how a certain rabbit had almost twisted the soft flesh around her waist into a pretzel just as she regained her senses.

It still aches slightly!
Chen Duling curled her red lips, probably guessing what he was thinking, and found it amusing.

Of course, I was mostly happy.

Mutual respect is very important in romantic relationships.

Out of the corner of her eye, she saw him adjusting the air conditioner. Chen Duling pressed down on his hand that was adjusting the air conditioner, but as soon as her fingertips touched the back of his hand, she pulled back as if she had been burned.

Her earlobes turned a pale pink as she bent down and clicked the seatbelt buckle.

"Twenty-three degrees is just right."

Jiang Qing glanced at her reaction through the rearview mirror and couldn't help but smile.

It turns out they were just two noobs pecking at each other.

He suddenly realized why he didn't have this feeling when he was with Sister Meng.

Soon, he figured out the key point.

Because Sister Meng is not only enthusiastic and proactive, she even guides him...

Tsk!
They arrived at the hotel close to midnight.

Jiang Qing didn't take her to stay at the film crew's hotel, but this hotel wasn't far from the film set, making it convenient for him to go there tomorrow.

After getting off the bus, Jiang Qing dragged Chen Duling's suitcase and walked side by side with her towards the hotel.

After checking in and entering the elevator, Chen Duling suddenly raised her hand to cover her mouth and leaned close to him in the mirror of the car.

"I heard that the bathroom at this hotel is particularly slippery."

"Ok?"

Jiang Qing pretended to adjust his shirt cufflinks and moved half a step closer to her.

"Especially at 2 a.m."

She pushed Jiang Qing out the moment the elevator doors opened, quickly pressed the button for the 23rd floor, and when she looked at him again, her eyes curved into crescent moons.

"When someone insists on inspecting the anti-slip mat."

Jiang Qing reached out to block the elevator door, her mind racing.

"I have anti-slip spray."

"So how does President Jiang plan to explain appearing in the actress's room in the early hours of the morning?"

Chen Duling used her suitcase to block the door crack, her nose wrinkling into an adorable arc.

"They said they're doing a pressure test on the toilet seat?"

Jiang Qing frowned and suddenly bent over, pressing her hand to her stomach.

"There's definitely something wrong with this seafood sauce."

"I didn't see you frown when you stole the crab legs from my bowl three hours ago."

She poked his chest, her eyes narrowed in a half-smile.

Good night, Dr. Jiang.

The moment the metal door closed, Jiang Qing suddenly peeked through the crack.

"Your hair still has fluorescent seaweed stuck to it!"

"so what?"

As Chen Duling tilted her head, a wisp of blue light appeared faintly behind her ear.

It will stain the pillow.

“I have a stain remover pen.”

She took out a small bottle from her handbag and shook it triumphantly, then suddenly leaned closer to the crack in the door.

"Or"

A warm breath brushed against Jiang Qing's nose.

"Dr. Jiang would like to borrow laundry detergent?"

"Yes, yes, that's it!"

Jiang Qing's eyes lit up, and she nodded hurriedly.

"Hurry back to your room!"

Chen Duling gave him a cute eye roll, pushed him out of the elevator, and waved her hand gently.

Seeing his disappointed expression just before the elevator doors closed completely, she couldn't help but chuckle.

This person is really anxious.

Just as the internet says, all men are the same!
However, she didn't want to rush things. It wasn't that she was unwilling, but she wanted to confirm a few more things.

However, Jiang Qing was not going to give up so easily.

Half an hour later, he arrived at the 23rd floor after taking a shower.

For some reason, I felt inexplicably impulsive tonight.

When the sound of a hairdryer came from room 2307, Jiang Qing counted the rhythm as she walked to the door.

Just as I was about to knock on the door, a sticky note slipped out from under the door.

Next to the four characters “No Entry Without Permission” is a picture of a grinning rabbit.

Jiang Qing took out paper and a pen from her pocket and raised an eyebrow slightly.

Are you thinking the same thing?
He squatted down and used a pen to add a small flower to the rabbit's head and put it back in, then heard a "pfft" of laughter coming from inside.

His mind raced, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

"Chen Duling".

"Ok?"

You don't have a sun-protective clothing yet.

The door suddenly opened a crack, and a slender, pale wrist reached out and precisely handed over the clothes.

"Thanks."

Her laughing voice came from behind the door.

Jiang Qing took the opportunity to brace herself against the door.

"actually, I"

"Shrimp wontons will be available at the restaurant at 6 a.m. tomorrow."

She peeked out from under the door, her eyes brimming with tears.

"If you go too late, you won't be able to get one."

"so?"

"Shall we go together tomorrow? I want to eat there."

She shook the alarm clock screen on her phone.

"Five hours and forty-two minutes remaining."

Jiang Qing took a half step back, watching the crack in the door narrow.

"and many more!"

"So what?"

"Your lips"

He suddenly reached out and touched his lips.

The moment Chen Duling subconsciously licked her lips, Jiang Qing suddenly leaned down.

However, just as I was about to touch it, she blocked it with a book, the title of which, "Psychology of Intimate Relationships," was particularly eye-catching on the title page.

"Mr. Jiang, your shoelaces are untied."

Chen Duling raised an eyebrow and chuckled, then clicked the door shut and locked it as he subconsciously looked down.

Jiang Qing touched her nose, which had almost bumped into the door, and heard a light, cheerful humming coming from inside.

His upturned lips were reflected in the corridor mirror. The scent of jasmine wafted from room 2307, mingling with the sound of waves, and a sliver of warm light peeked through the crack in the door.

This rabbit is not easily fooled.

Jiang Qing smiled, shook her head, and turned to walk away.

Since things had come to this, he decided to get some sleep first. The next day, Jiang Qing got up early and ate a bowl of shrimp wontons with Chen Duling before heading to the film set.

Chen Duling went back to her room to catch up on sleep and prepare for today's visit to the set.

Since Tian Xiwei and Meng Ziyi have both been to the film set, how can she possibly perform worse than them?

We need to prepare properly.

Lunchtime, the "Beginning" crew.

The film set was sweltering at 12:30. The moment Chen Duling appeared with three food carts, the entire crew seemed to be put on pause.

In this awful weather, seeing food trucks with signs for "ice cream," "coffee," and "milk tea" is no different from seeing a savior.
What's more, there was also a very attractive and beautiful woman who appeared with them.
As soon as she was seen, Chen Duling casually rolled up the sleeves of her red shirt to her elbows, revealing a section of her snow-white forearm. Her long, straight legs, clad in black shorts and seven-centimeter black high heels, moved in step with the rhythm of the onlookers' breaths.

"Is this Chen Duling?"

The stagehand was stunned, holding his lunchbox in his hands, still with rice grains on his lips.

Chen Duling's fair and flat stomach was revealed under her white short T-shirt, and her abs were faintly visible in the midday sun.

Many male staff members were stunned, while the female staff members looked on with envy.

We're all human, how can someone have such a small face? Such fair skin? Such delicate features? And such long legs?

It's not fair!

Under the shade of the canopy, Zhao Jinmai's fingers, gripping the mineral water bottle, suddenly tightened.

She watched as the girl with her elegant updo walked straight towards the monitor, her hips, encased in black shorts, swaying slightly with each step, taut and round.

Most importantly, she is Chen Duling.

The girl who, according to online rumors, knew Jiang Qing back in college and may even have dated her.

Moreover, in the online poll for Jiang Qing's potential romantic partners, Chen Duling has come from behind and is showing signs of surpassing the popular "Jiang Zhou Yu Huo" and "Yi Jian Qing Xin".

Many people feel that Chen Duling, a girl with a high level of education and a scholarly temperament, is a better match for Jiang Qing.

Now that she has met Chen Duling in person, she suddenly feels that the arguments on the internet seem to make some sense.

She... is really beautiful.

Jiang Qing and Sun Molong were watching the playback on the monitor. He had already heard from Sun Molong's walkie-talkie when Chen Duling stepped onto the set.

As she approached from afar, a look of amazement flashed in Jiang Qing's eyes when she saw her outfit.

Their good looks go without saying; they were chosen by everyone through votes.

Especially her long, slender, and incredibly white legs, and above that, her round, perky buttocks, taut with black shorts. The curves weren't exaggerated, but the proportions were incredibly alluring.

"Hello Director Sun, I'm Chen Duling. I came here today specifically to visit Jiang Qing on set. Sorry to bother you."

While Jiang Qing was lost in thought, Chen Duling stopped three meters in front of them and bowed to greet them.

She was poised and graceful, a slight smile playing on her lips.

"Oh, welcome, welcome! Teacher Chen, you're too kind. You brought so many things with you. We're really benefiting from President Jiang's generosity this time."

Sun Molong stood up happily, smiling like Maitreya Buddha.

He had naturally heard about the rumors between Chen Duling and Jiang Qing, and he acted with great enthusiasm.

"It's nothing, just a small token of my appreciation."

Chen Duling nodded slightly to him, then turned her gaze to Jiang Qing, who was smiling beside her.

"Dr. Jiang, I'll be observing for a while this afternoon. You shouldn't be nervous, right?"

She tilted her head, a playful smile appearing on her face.

"Don't worry, Teacher Chen, I'm very thick-skinned."

Jiang Qing raised her chin, completely unconcerned.

"You seem very confident."

Chen Duling narrowed her eyes slightly, her face showing suspicion.

Jiang Qing shrugged, looking confident.

Chen Duling smiled. Of course she believed Jiang Qing, but seeing him so smug and remembering how he had been humiliated last night, she couldn't help but find it funny.

At this moment, Liu Yijun strolled over with an iced coffee in his hand, calmly observing the two of them.

"We really owe a lot to Dr. Jiang today, and thank you Professor Chen for bringing us some coolness too."

"You're too kind, Teacher Liu."

Chen Duling turned around, her neck forming a graceful arc as she tilted her head back.

"I also have my own agenda; I want to take this opportunity to secretly learn from some of the seniors."

She smiled with a graceful and poised demeanor.

"No problem, it would be best if we could actually learn something, then our coffee wouldn't have been wasted."

Liu Yijun smiled and nodded, and when their eyes met Sun Molong's, both of them showed a hint of admiration.

This girl is really nice.

Before long, Huang Jue, Liu Tao, and the others also came over and exchanged pleasantries with Chen Duling.

Jiang Qing watched as she handled everyone with ease, silently giving her a thumbs up in her heart.

He guessed that Dudu was probably the type of girl that the elders liked the most.

As the scorching sun baked the sunshade until it smelled of plastic, Zhao Jinmai slowly moved over, clutching her iced milk tea.

The straw was bitten with tiny teeth marks. She stared at Chen Duling's beautiful profile, and her throat suddenly tightened.

"Hello, Teacher Chen."

She greeted them softly, like a leaf wilting in the sun.

As Chen Duling turned around, the strands of hair on her forehead swayed gently, and her eyebrows curved into gentle crescent moons.

"It's Mai Mai! I've seen your performance in 'Growing Pain,' and you acted with such talent."

"Thank you."

Zhao Jinmai felt a little embarrassed. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Jiang Qing discussing the plot with Sun Molong, muttering to himself and gesturing with his hands, looking very engrossed.

"Want to take a photo together?"

Chen Duling suddenly took out her phone.

"I've noticed you keep glancing this way."

Zhao Jinmai's hand trembled, and the ice cubes crashed into the plastic cup with a loud clatter.

"No, it's not."

"Kidding."

Chen Duling chuckled softly, her fingertips brushing against her sweat-dampened bangs.

"Filming in this heat must be tough, right?"

The icy touch made Zhao Jinmai flinch.

"It's alright, I'm used to it, everyone's the same."

Sensing her kindness, Zhao Jinmai shook her head and obediently replied.

"That's good. I wish you a smooth filming process and that you wrap up filming soon."

Chen Duling looked at the shy girl in front of her, speaking in a soft and gentle tone.

She's a really nice little girl, and I actually understand her quite well.

They are all the same; at the best age, they met the most amazing people.

It's just unknown whether this will be a blessing or a curse for her.

"Well, I hope it goes smoothly."

Zhao Jinmai smiled slightly, noticing a trace of jealousy or hostility from Chen Duling, unlike that she felt from Tian Xiwei and Meng Ziyi.

Why did I even see a hint of pity in her eyes?

"Most definitely."

Chen Duling raised her hand and pinched her cheek, wrinkling her nose and chuckling softly.

Zhao Jinmai was momentarily stunned by her intimate gesture, and then she also grinned.

She's such a gentle older sister.

"Prepare to clear the scene. Filming will begin in five minutes!"

At this moment, Sun Molong shouted through the walkie-talkie.

The afternoon shoot is about to begin.

Chen Duling immediately perked up. She waved to Zhao Jinmai and then walked eagerly to the monitor.

She had high expectations for Jiang Qing's performance.
