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

Chapter 141 A Calm Resolution: Four Players Play Landlord
Although none of them said a word, everyone could clearly feel the undercurrent of tension.

"Ah……"

Jiang Qing suddenly chuckled.

Zhou Ye narrowed his eyes and gripped the sunscreen spray in his hand tightly.

Still laughing?

Do you want to test how sharp my teeth are?
Jiang Qing casually placed her hand on the spot where Zhao Jinmai had just patted her and rubbed it, then turned to Zhou Ye with a helpless expression.

“Mai Mai really needs to change this habit. Every time we act together, she has to pat me a couple of times to make it feel real, and she can hit me really hard. Last time Cai Wenjing came to visit the set, she almost slapped her phone into the prop box.”

"real or fake?"

Zhou Ye looked at Zhao Jinmai suspiciously, his hand unconsciously squeezing the sunscreen spray so hard it made a hissing sound.

She quickly turned around and sprayed the air around Liu Haocun's feet twice, instantly covering his black leather shoes with white frost.

Liu Haocun tiptoed back to avoid it.

"Hey... Yezi, what are you doing! You don't need sunscreen on your shoes!"

She launched an accusation against Zhou Ye with a bewildered expression.

It wasn't me who made you angry, so why don't you go and criticize Zhao Jinmai instead!
"Uh, sorry, sorry, I was thinking of giving you a couple more slaps on your calf, but I didn't aim properly."

Zhou Ye forced a smile and tried to explain.

She turned around and glared at Jiang Qing, "It's all your fault!"

Just then, a props crew member pushed a portable blower past, and the strong airflow swirled up Zhao Jinmai's script.

Jiang Qing pretended not to see Zhou Ye's gaze, caught the flying paper with one hand, and then turned to wink at Zhao Jinmai.

"Didn't you say yesterday that you were going to teach Ono how to make mosquito repellent bracelets?"

Zhao Jinmai was stunned for a moment, then quickly took out a colorful rubber band from her pocket.

"Yes, I was just looking for someone to try out the new style."

She stepped forward and, without saying a word, lifted Zhou Ye's wrist, her fingers flying as she began to weave a knot.

Zhou Ye's attention was instantly drawn, and he held up his wrist, examining it from left to right.

"This bow looks so cute!"

"How about trying a two-color weave?"

Jiang Qing took the extra rubber band from Zhao Jinmai's hand, wrapped it around her finger, and raised her chin at Liu Haocun, who was watching the commotion from the side.

"Hao Cun is here to be a model?"

Before she could respond, five rubber bands were already around her wrists, leaving her stunned.

Just as Liu Haocun was about to speak, the stagehand suddenly raised a megaphone and shouted.

"Demolition team, prepare for test detonation!"

Zhou Ye immediately jumped up, completely forgetting what had just happened.

Is it going to explode? Is it going to explode?

She grabbed Jiang Qing and ran towards the police line, the elastic band on her wrist slipping off and falling to the ground.

Zhao Jinmai picked it up and chased after her.

"Wait for me!"

Liu Haocun watched the three figures disappear into the distance, then suddenly burst out laughing and slowly followed, swinging his wrist with the rubber band hanging from it.

"Dr. Jiang, you seem a little different from last time."

Watching Jiang Qing's retreating figure, she murmured to herself in a voice only she could hear, a hint of curiosity flashing in her eyes.

Jiang Qing wasn't this at ease when facing her and Meng Ziyi last time.

As Lao Wang, the leader of the demolition team, was explaining safety precautions, Jiang Qing walked forward with a smile and gestured to Zhou Ye.

"Could you let her press the test button?"

Old Wang turned his head and saw Jiang Qing. He immediately showed a warm smile, glanced at Zhou Ye who was looking expectantly to the side, and then waved his hand.

"Dr. Jiang can certainly ask; it's just a matter of pressing a button."

Before he could finish speaking, Zhou Ye had already jumped to the front of the control panel, his fingers trembling excitedly as he hovered over the red button.

"Really...can I really press it?"

"Of course, Teacher Zhou, please feel free to press."

Old Wang patted his belly with a happy smile.

Jiang Qing has always been kind on set and has often treated everyone to meals, fruits, and drinks. What is this little request compared to that?

Given his status, he didn't have to do this, but since they did, they naturally had to reciprocate.

If someone treats me with respect, I will treat them with even greater respect. This is the essence of how people should treat each other.

"Don't be afraid."

Jiang Qing walked behind Zhou Ye and circled her loosely, lightly touching the back of her hand with her fingertips.

"I'll count to three, then you press the button."

"it is good!"

The girl nervously swallowed repeatedly.

Zhao Jinmai squeezed to the other side and grabbed Zhou Ye's wrist.

"You have to press it all the way down. I tried it once before."

She carefully stepped forward to provide guidance.

Like Zhou Ye, she had been curious before, so she begged Lao Wang to let her have a massage once, and it felt quite novel.

Liu Hao was standing to the side, recording with his phone.

"Go, Wild Child!"

Liu Yijun and Huang Jue also strolled over to watch the commotion, and couldn't help but laugh when they saw the girls shouting and yelling.

Young people are different; they're so energetic.

"three!"

At the photographer's prompting, Jiang Qing suddenly spoke.

Zhou Ye's body tensed up suddenly, and he closed his eyes and slapped down hard.

A three-meter-high wave of earth erupted from the sandpit in the distance, the shockwave whipping her long hair into the air.

Amidst the laughter of the crowd, she blushed and kicked Jiang Qing's shin.

"It's all your fault for suddenly starting the countdown!"

Jiang Qing laughed as she dodged.

"It's not because I'm afraid you'll be nervous."

"You think you're right!"

Zhou Ye chased after him and slapped him several times before letting go, panting heavily with his cheeks flushed.

"Professor Zhou is amazing! This is the first time in so long that I've seen someone chase Dr. Jiang around everywhere."

Liu Yijun started making jokes again.

"That's right, it's rare to see Dr. Jiang like this, it has to be Professor Zhou."

Huang Jue chimed in, giving Zhou Ye a thumbs-up, which made the girl lower her head shyly and examine the toes of her shoes.

Although Zhou Ye felt shy listening to their words, he also felt a sweet warmth in his heart.

Watching Jiang Qing's blatant doting on Zhou Ye, Zhao Jinmai felt a pang of indescribable bitterness in her heart.

So, he has this side to him.

Unfortunately, it wasn't for me.

Liu Haocun smiled as he observed the reactions of everyone present, his gaze lingering on Zhou Ye's shy and timid face.

How enviable!
We share the same birthday, and I have powerful connections in Beijing's elite circles, yet I'm still not as lucky as you.

But for Yezi, winning first doesn't necessarily mean winning.

Her gaze shifted to Jiang Qing, her competitive spirit surging.

Just wait and see!

After the excitement subsided, Jiang Qing led the two girls to the side to observe the filming until the crew wrapped up. Then, Jiang Qing waved his hand and arranged for the main cast and crew to have a meal together.

Sun Molong jokingly remarked that Jiang Qing had spent all of his lead actor salary on treating people to meals. While Jiang Qing wasn't actually bothered by the money, he wasn't addicted to treating people every day. He was worried that if he took the two girls out to dinner alone, Liu Haocun might cause some trouble.

He always felt that she was an unstable factor and might cause some trouble.

He and his friends had a meal together to get through the day. He was relieved that the two girls would be leaving tomorrow.

Today, they also opted not to eat seafood. Jiang Qing, acting on her own whims, took a group of people to a very famous mountain hot pot restaurant in Xiamen.

There's no other reason; it's just that a little girl with a sweet tooth wants to eat hot pot.

Jiang Qing deliberately dragged out the hot pot meal from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m., and they didn't get back to the hotel until almost 11 p.m.

Jiang Qing thought she had finally made it through the day and planned to have a good sleep while holding Zhou Ye.

Unexpectedly, Liu Haocun suddenly suggested playing cards, and Zhao Jinmai agreed. Although Zhou Ye wanted to be alone with Jiang Qing, he was too embarrassed to say it directly, so he had to raise his hand to agree.

So the four of them started playing cards in the living room of Jiang Qing's suite.

Um... the kind with stickers.

After everyone took their seats, Jiang Qing gently turned over the three cards. The rustling sound of the cards rubbing against the table was particularly clear amidst the hum of the air conditioner.

Liu Haocun smiled and reached out to press down on the last card.

"The landlord gets to choose the punishment method first."

She pressed her fingertip against the 2 of Hearts and spun it halfway around, a determined little expression on her face.

"Keep it simple, just put one card on the board for every game you lose."

Zhao Jinmai neatly stacked the cut strips of paper on the edge of the coffee table. When she looked up, she met Jiang Qing's thoughtful gaze and hurriedly looked down to arrange the cards.

Sure enough, those two girls were up to something.

Jiang Qing narrowed her eyes slightly, and after a moment's thought, she guessed what the two were thinking, and couldn't help but smile.

This was intentional, to prevent him from being alone with Ono.

He wasn't surprised that Liu Haocun would do this, but he didn't expect Mai Mai to be willing to cooperate with him.

Zhou Ye sat cross-legged on the sofa, his toes unconsciously hooking onto Jiang Qing's trouser leg.

"Just so you know, it only counts if it's stuck to your forehead... Waaah~"

As she spoke, she suddenly yawned, her eyelashes still damp from removing her makeup.

In the first round, Jiang Qing was the landlord, and Liu Haocun would always look at the crystal chandelier for a long time when playing his cards.

When Zhao Jinmai broke up her three-of-a-kind with a single card into a single card for the third time, Jiang Qing suddenly tapped the pile of paper slips in front of her with her finger.

"MaiMai is being especially cautious tonight."

He gave her a meaningful smile, and then dropped the bomb after she looked away.

"I'm sorry."

Liu Haocun held the cards face down to his chest and leaned back, and the rubber band bracelet on his wrist "accidentally" caught on Zhao Jinmai's clothes button.

It took the two girls several minutes to untie the rubber band, making Jiang Qing's eyelids twitch.

Could you two act any more realistically?

In the second round, Zhao Jinmai shuffled the cards for a full two minutes, the playing cards flowing from her left hand to her right hand like a waterfall, which made Zhou Ye exclaim in surprise.

Jiang Qing chuckled softly as he took the cards, his gaze lingering on her hand.

"If the crew needs a hand double, Mai Mai's hand can come in handy."

Zhou Ye immediately rubbed his toes against the back of his foot as a warning.

Jiang Qing casually reached down and tickled the sole of her foot, and she hurriedly removed her hand.

When Liu Haocun was the landlord, he would always flip his hair before playing a card.

When she slammed her last four cards on the table and shouted "Rocket!", Zhou Ye suddenly grabbed her wrist.

"You clearly had five cards left!"

During their argument, Zhao Jinmai silently stuffed the extra Queen of Spades back into the deck, making Jiang Qing's lips twitch.

"Paste two copies."

Jiang Qing snatched the note from Zhou Ye's fingertips and gently pressed it against Liu Haocun's nose.

"Ah!"

She was about to protest when Zhao Jinmai's sneeze startled her, making her jump up and causing everyone to burst into laughter.

When the electronic clock struck one in the morning, Zhou Ye began to nod like a chick pecking at rice.

She nearly knocked over the fruit platter when she threw out a pair of threes, but Jiang Qing caught her shoulder to prevent her from falling into the deck of cards.

It seems his original plans for tonight are going to fall through.

"The last one..."

Zhou Ye mumbled as he rested his chin on Jiang Qing's shoulder, yawning repeatedly from exhaustion.

Liu Haocun, however, laid his cards on the table.

"Redeal the cards; I have the wrong number of cards."

As she spoke, she winked at Zhao Jinmai, who immediately raised two cards in response.

"How did my J turn into a Q?"

Jiang Qing slowly arranged the cards, then suddenly gathered the entire deck together.

"We need to film a morning scene at 7:30 tomorrow."

He pointed to Zhao Jinmai's eyelids, which were almost stuck together.

"Is Mai Mai going to appear on camera with dark circles under her eyes?"

Zhou Ye drowsily tugged at his sleeve, his voice soft and sleepy.

"Yes, my flight is at nine o'clock..."

The last syllable disappeared into yet another yawn.

She had hoped to take things further with Jiang Qing today, but now all those thoughts were gone. All she wanted to do was collapse into the soft bed and get a good night's sleep!
Just as Liu Haocun was about to speak, he covered his mouth and let out a long yawn, tears welling up in his eyes.

"Alright, that's enough for today. Go back and rest."

Jiang Qing made the final decision.

Liu Haocun and Zhao Jinmai exchanged glances, then both nodded in agreement.

"I'm going back to sleep, Jiang Qing. I'm too... um... sleepy."

Zhou Ye covered his mouth, and said goodbye to Jiang Qing in a daze.

"Okay, I'll have Chen Duo take you tomorrow morning."

"Good~"

She waved her hand as she swayed and walked out.

Seeing that she could barely walk, Zhao Jinmai hurriedly stepped forward to support her.

"I'll take Yezi back."

She was just a little jealous of what might happen between Jiang Qing and Zhou Ye alone, so she cooperated with Liu Haocun; she had no ill intentions.

"Okay, then thank you for your help, MaiMai."

Jiang Qing smiled and nodded, only turning her gaze away after the two had left the room.

"Dr. Jiang, did we disturb you and Yezi today?"

Liu Haocun leaned against the door frame, looking at Jiang Qing with a smug grin.

Jiang Qing did not answer her, but listened carefully to the receding footsteps of Zhou Ye and the other person.

After confirming that the two had gone far away, his expression suddenly changed. He slowly walked up to Liu Haocun, leaned close to her ear, and casually closed the door.

"It's okay, you're still here."

The tone was playful, conveying an indescribable meaning.

Liu Haocun's body tensed up suddenly, and when he looked up, he met the smiling eyes of the man.

In an instant, the hairs on her body stood on end.

wrong!

Jiang Qing's gaze is strange!
