Shadow of Chinese Entertainment

Chapter 146 Arriving at the hotel
As night slowly falls, the afterglow of the setting sun shines on the earth again, covering everything in the world with a layer of golden veil.

Hu Xiaobei, An Xiaoqian and her daughter, as well as Yang Mi, a group of four people and two dogs, ended their two-day journey and finally arrived at Songlan Mountain Seaview Hotel.

Although this place is half an hour's drive from Xiangshan Film and Television City, it is the designated cooperative accommodation hotel for the Condor Heroes crew.

The car slowly drove into the hotel's outdoor parking lot and found a spacious spot to park.

Hu Xiaobei was the first to open the car door, stretched his tired body, and looked up at the five-story building in front of him.

The salty and humid sea breeze instantly filled my nostrils, carrying the unique smell of the sea.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, looked around, and said softly, "This place... looks pretty good."

Liu Xiaoli and a few others just got out of the car and breathed a sigh of relief. All their muscles and bones relaxed, and it seemed that even their skin was breathing freely.

She smiled and responded, "Yes, I heard the sea view here is beautiful. Once we get settled, we must enjoy it."

An Xiaoqian quickly interrupted and said, "There is also fresh seafood to eat." As she spoke, she deliberately glanced at Hu Xiaobei and licked her lips, as if hinting at something.

It was as if he could already smell the delicious aroma of steamed seafood, and his taste buds were starting to stir.

"That's great." Hu Xiaobei nodded and replied to Liu Xiaoli first.

Then, he reached out and rubbed his sore neck, shaking it left and right to stretch it, and his cervical vertebrae made a slight "cracking" sound.

Then he glanced back at An Xiaoqian and said deliberately, "If you keep eating like that, Xiaolongnu will turn into a little fat fairy. Do you still want to be on camera?"

"Hmph, eating seafood won't make you fat. Besides, I'm still growing, so I can't gain weight!" An Xiaoqian retorted, turned her face away proudly, and didn't mention the seafood anymore.

After all, she did gain a little weight some time ago, but fortunately, Hu Xiaobei was there to urge her to exercise, so she was able to maintain her figure.

Hu Xiaobei ignored her and just walked to the trunk and opened the door. He first let out Candy and Lai Fu, who were very excited and a little bored.

As soon as the two puppies got out of the car, they excitedly ran back and forth at everyone's feet, barking happily, their barks echoing over the parking lot.

From time to time, they would rub their heads against Hu Xiaobei's legs, as if to express their excitement and anticipation after a long journey.

Even through thick pants, Hu Xiaobei could feel the warm touch of their furry heads rubbing against each other.

Hu Xiaobei leaned over, gently stroked their heads, and said soothingly: "Okay, okay, don't get too excited, let's go to the hotel first."

Candy and Lai Fu seemed to understand what he said and followed the crowd obediently.

The four of them carried their luggage and walked towards the hotel lobby with their two puppies.

As they stepped into the hotel lobby, the warm yellow light sprinkled on their bodies, as if a pair of gentle hands were caressing them gently, gradually dispelling their fatigue.

Although there are not many people in the lobby, it does not seem quiet. The subtle sounds of conversation and footsteps intertwine to create a unique atmosphere.

The crew members had been waiting there for a long time. When they saw them come in, they immediately came over to greet them.

The unnamed staff member smiled warmly and said, "Advisor, accommodation has been arranged. We are just waiting for you to come." The sincerity in his tone warmed my heart.

Hu Xiaobei nodded slightly and patted the staff member on the shoulder: "Thank you for your hard work. You came so early to help with the arrangements."

"It's not hard, this is what we should do." The staff responded with a smile and then began to distribute room cards.

At this time, Candy and Lai Fu curiously approached the staff, tilted their heads and looked at the stranger in front of them, sniffing and familiarizing themselves with the smell of the staff.

The staff was amused by their cute appearance. They put down their work, squatted down, gently scratched their chins, and said, "You two little guys can't wait to stay in the hotel!"

Candy and Lai Fu were not shy at all. They squinted their eyes in enjoyment and licked the staff's hands with their tongues. The wet touch made the staff chuckle.

Hu Xiaobei took the room card and took a look. Just as he had instructed the staff when he contacted them before, the room was arranged on the fifth floor.

The hotel's self-service laundry room and gym are also located on the fifth floor, while the Chinese restaurant is on the first floor.

He gently turned the room card in his hand and said to the people around him: "Let's stay on the top floor. We're used to it."

When An Xiaoqian heard this, she immediately thought of the hang gliding flight that night and couldn't help laughing.

She nodded, raised her eyebrows proudly at Hu Xiaobei, and said with a double meaning, "Yeah... I like living on the top floor too."

That smile seemed to contain the sound of the wind during the gliding flight that night and the feeling of a faster heartbeat.

"Well, mainly because the top floor has a good view and is quiet, so I like it." Hu Xiaobei shrugged, looking as if it was a matter of course, as if he had given a response, but also as if he had not given a response.

An Xiaoqian leaned over to check his room number. Sure enough, he lived next door to hers. Then she smiled at Hu Xiaobei and emphasized three words: "Looks like we're neighbors again. You better go to bed early tonight. Don't sneak out to play alone."

Hu Xiaobei responded with a smile: "Why would I go out secretly? I usually go out alone openly."

An Xiaoqian shook her chubby little head, leaned forward slightly, and with an inexplicable smile on her face, she said earnestly, "Comrade Xiaobei, eating alone is not a good thing. As the saying goes: Happiness alone is worse than happiness shared with others!"

Hu Xiaobei did not respond directly, but just smiled without saying anything.

At this time, Yang Mi stood aside, watching all this quietly.

She held her room card tightly in her hand, with a hint of unwillingness and stubbornness in her eyes.

She raised her head slightly, looked at Hu Xiaobei and An Xiaoqian, and thought to herself: "I must work hard, one day..."

That determined look seemed to convey the crackling sound of a fire burning deep in his heart.

Hu Xiaobei seemed to notice Yang Mi's gaze, turned his head and looked at her with a hint of alienation in his eyes.

This little girl is a thoughtful person, and her ambition is clearly written on her face.

Hu Xiaobei doesn't like things that are too big, so there's naturally no need for him to get covered in the smell of a fox.

Therefore, it is necessary to keep an appropriate distance from her.

As for where Yang Mi's room was, he didn't pay attention.

After all, she played the role of Guo Xiang, so naturally there would be staff to arrange accommodation for her.

"Yang Mi, don't work too hard, have a good rest." Hu Xiaobei said lightly, with a hint of courtesy in his tone, like a gentle breeze blowing, without too much warmth.

Yang Mi was slightly startled, then she smiled sweetly: "Thank you for your concern, I will."

Hu Xiaobei nodded without saying anything else. He declined the hotel's luggage service and turned to walk towards the elevator with a few others.

I pressed the elevator button and waited quietly, hearing the slight "buzzing" sound of the elevator running.

The elevator door slowly opened, and Candy and Lai Fu excitedly rushed in first, walking around in circles and sniffing the unfamiliar smells.

Hu Xiaobei followed them into the elevator and quickly called out to them, "Don't run around. Stand still."

The two puppies then sat down obediently at the feet of the crowd, but their heads were still looking around curiously.

Several people walked in one after another. Hu Xiaobei pressed the button for the top floor, while Yang Mi pressed the elevator button for the fourth floor.

The elevator slowly rose. Hu Xiaobei looked through the elevator glass at the gradually shrinking scenery outside, with a thousand thoughts in his mind.

In this competitive entertainment industry, everyone has their own goals and pursuits.

He just wants to focus on his interests and career and move forward step by step.

Soon, the elevator reached the fourth floor, and Yang Mi waved goodbye to the three people briefly.

The elevator finally reached the top floor. Hu Xiaobei walked out of the elevator first with his suitcase and came to the door of An Xiaoqian's suite.

After swiping open the door, the three of them walked in carrying their suitcases.

The whole room is decorated simply and warmly. Through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, you can see the endless sea outside.

The waves hit the beach, making a rhythmic "swish" sound, which seems like the heartbeat of the sea.

As soon as Candy and Lai Fu entered the room, they ran back and forth in the room like wild horses, exploring every corner.

Sometimes they ran to the bed to sniff, sometimes they ran to the window and looked at the sea outside curiously.

Hu Xiaobei put down his luggage, said hello to Liu Xiaoli and the others, and then carried another suitcase to his room next door.

At this time, the afterglow of the setting sun poured onto the sea, creating layers of ripples that were breathtakingly beautiful.

The golden light slightly stimulates the eyes, but makes people reluctant to look away.

Hu Xiaobei walked to the window, opened the curtains, and quietly admired the beautiful sea view.

He took a deep breath, feeling the coolness of the sea breeze on his face. The fatigue in his heart gradually dissipated, as if all his worries were taken away by the sea breeze, leaving only inner tranquility.
