Shadow of Chinese Entertainment

Chapter 142 The barbecue cannot be moved

Hu Xiaobei stared at the TV screen, clenched his right hand into a fist, and put it behind his back, using his back to suppress it.

After slowly calming down, he gently said, "Get up quickly. Do you still want to eat barbecue?"

"Humph, you said you didn't hide it, but I won't eat it!"

An Xiaoqian didn't even turn her head back, looking like she was determined not to move and was too powerful to bend.

Hu Xiaobei sighed helplessly and threatened: "If you don't get up and eat, the barbecue will get cold."

An Xiaoqian was stunned for a moment, silently estimated the time in her mind, and found that Hu Xiaobei's words made sense.

He decisively gave up his posture of not being able to move while grilling, stood up, and punched Hu Xiaobei's thigh with his little fist, as a way to vent his anger at being captured.

"What are you standing there for? Hurry up and bring me some barbecue." An Xiaoqian raised her little fist and shook it slightly as if threatening.

The role change was so fast that he actually started acting. It was obvious that his scar had not healed yet and he had forgotten the pain.

But in Hu Xiaobei's opinion, the strength of her little fist was just right, and she had quite a talent for leg-pounding. He only wished he could let her do it for ten more minutes.

How could you think that a small fist would be intimidating?
However, being able to resolve the deadlock just now would be a victory, not to mention that Hu Xiaobei didn't mind being threatened by her.

Considering the issue of keeping warm, Hu Xiaobei specially disassembled all the bamboo skewers and placed the barbecue on a plate.

I boiled some more hot water, then placed the barbecue plate on the steaming tray and covered it to keep it warm.

Seeing that there were measures to keep warm, An Xiaoqian was not in a hurry to eat.

After all, I had eaten some barbecue when I was near Beijing Film Academy, so I didn’t feel hungry at all at this time.

She picked up the hair dryer, plugged it in, raised her chin slightly, said "hmm" softly, and winked at Hu Xiaobei.

Hu Xiaobei agreed with a smile, but washed his hands again. Then he returned to the living room, took the hair dryer, and helped An Xiaoqian blow dry her hair.

Compared to the last time I blow-dried my hair, it was less tempting and more warm and relaxed.

Hu Xiaobei activated his spiritual perception to assist in the work, and An Xiaoqian's hair danced lightly in the warm breeze.

After a short while, it became dry and smooth again, with each root clearly visible and emitting a faint fragrance.

"It's done, get up." Hu Xiaobei unplugged the plug and put away the hair dryer.

"That's great, we can have barbecue again." An Xiaoqian cheered happily and stood up to go to the kitchen.

After some time had passed since she had just finished enjoying the breeze, she felt that her stomach had digested some of the food and she would definitely be able to eat more barbecue.

"Come back here and tie your hair up before eating."

Hu Xiaobei quickly called her and went to the kitchen to bring a plate of barbecue to the coffee table.

An Xiaoqian sat on the sofa, tied her hair into a single ponytail, and didn't care that some of her hair fell down. She couldn't wait to pick up the chopsticks, picked up a small piece of lamb skewer and put it into her mouth.

Hu Xiaobei shook his head helplessly, moved closer to her, and tied her hair into a single ponytail again.

An Xiaoqian also has a small appetite. She had eaten barbecue earlier, so after just a few bites, she no longer felt as eager as before.

In the end, this plate of barbecue ended up in Hu Xiaobei's stomach.

After Hu Xiaobei put the dishes into the kitchen, he found that there was nothing to do, so he could only sit on the sofa and watch TV with An Xiaoqian.

This house is not a newly built one. Its design and layout are more practical, with only one bathroom for showering.

Therefore, you need to queue up to use it.

After Liu Xiaoli finished her bath, the steamy bathroom was filled with the faint scent of shower gel.

Hu Xiaobei urged An Xiaoqian to brush her teeth before he got up to get some clothes.

At this time, Liu Xiaoli walked out of the room quickly with a gentle smile on her face and a brand new set of pajamas in her hands.

She walked straight to Hu Xiaobei and gently put the pajamas into his hands: "Xiaobei, this set of pajamas is new. I have washed it. Try it on and see if it fits you."

Hu Xiaobei didn't hesitate or say anything polite. He took the pajamas with a friendly and trusting smile, "Auntie, the clothes I bought must fit me."

As he said this, his eyes flashed with determination.

After all, the clothes he wears now are basically carefully selected and purchased by Liu Xiaoli.

When it comes to size, Liu Xiaoli has always been very precise and has never made a mistake.

Liu Xiaoli shook her head slightly, her eyes full of relief, and looked at Hu Xiaobei gently: "You seem to have grown taller than when we first met." Since his rebirth, perhaps because of the cheat, Hu Xiaobei's height has been increasing.

Although he had never measured himself specifically, every time he stood next to An Xiaoqian, he could clearly feel that he was a bit taller than her.

Of course, that's assuming she doesn't wear high heels.

Just now, An Xiaoqian was brushing her teeth in the bathroom. The sounds of running water and gargling could be heard intermittently, and it took three to five minutes before she finished.

After Hu Xiaobei walked into the bathroom, the sound of running water only lasted for five minutes before everything quickly returned to calm.

An Xiaoqian was originally sitting on the sofa watching TV. When she heard the noise, her eyes widened, her face full of surprise and curiosity, and she blurted out, "You've just finished taking a shower?"

Hu Xiaobei raised his hand and casually brushed his already dried hair, a faint smile on his lips, and said calmly: "No, I have already taken a shower, and I also took a little time to brush my teeth, blow-dry my hair, and change clothes."

"So fast?" An Xiaoqian was in disbelief, her mouth opened into an O shape, and then she subconsciously covered it with her hand.

“That’s pretty slow!”

Hu Xiaobei waved his hand, his face showing a relaxed and unconcerned look.

This only made An Xiaoqian full of envy, with a hint of longing in her eyes.

Liu Xiaoli looked at Hu Xiaobei, moved her lips, as if she wanted to say something, but hesitated and didn't speak.

But in the end, she put aside her worries and said earnestly, "Xiaobei, even though you are a boy, you can't be so casual when taking a bath. You have to wash carefully and not rush it."

When Hu Xiaobei heard this, he thought to himself that it was not good. He couldn't tell Liu Xiaoli about his cheating bathing trick.

He touched his earlobe awkwardly, a shy smile on his face, and laughed: "Auntie, don't worry! Actually, I'm quite careful when taking a bath. I'm just a little fast, but I'm sure I can get it clean!"

It was already 2005: pm, and there were still minutes until .

The three of them watched CCTV's New Year's Day program while yawning and keeping time.

Hu Xiaobei and Liu Xiaoli were fine, after all, they both had experience staying up late.

An Xiaoqian is different. She usually goes to bed early.

In addition, when filming The Return of the Condor Heroes, she had Hu Xiaobei to look after her, and she rarely shot night scenes until the early morning, so she was less tempered and more pampered.

Her eyelids drooped slowly and weakly, sometimes struggling to open a tiny gap, and sometimes closing uncontrollably, repeating these two movements over and over again.

Hu Xiaobei looked at her exhausted appearance and gently advised: "Go to bed early, don't force yourself to stay up."

An Xiaoqian shook her head slightly, mumbling incoherently: "No...no..." Her voice was as soft as a mosquito's hum, but revealed a sense of stubbornness.

After finally making it past midnight, An Xiaoqian could no longer bear it and staggered back to her room.

Yet, he was very persistent in placing and straightening the slippers, his movements slow and serious, as if he was completing an extremely important ritual.

Only then did he crawl into bed and fell asleep almost in a second, his breathing becoming even and long.

The next morning, according to previous plans, the three were supposed to go to the theater to watch a performance and go horseback riding outside the city.

However, An Xiaoqian stayed in bed one time and her plan was disrupted.

The two of them simply stopped calling her.

It was not until around ten o'clock in the morning that An Xiaoqian woke up naturally.

She was no longer grumpy when she woke up, but she also went to one less place to play.

After lunch, the three drove to the horse farm outside the city, but they didn't expect that there were so many people here.

From this we can see that these days, no matter how much money ordinary people have, they can all make money and dare to spend money.

It was quite reasonable to encounter this situation during the holidays in 2005.

The road is already blocked, so the ski resort is naturally not much better.

An Xiaoqian called a classmate who was going to the ski resort today.

As expected, the ski resort was packed and they still hadn't been able to get in.

Only then did Hu Xiaobei understand why celebrities and wealthy people like to travel abroad during holidays.
