Shadow of Chinese Entertainment

Chapter 330 Washing Up
On the washstand, a brand-new pink towel, still damp and wrinkled, wafts a faint scent of soap from its fluffy fibers, indicating it has just been carefully washed.

The glass next to it was covered with fine water droplets, showing signs of being rinsed repeatedly. Even the bristles of the toothbrush were distinct, fluffy, and soft, clearly having been groomed beforehand.

"Be good, get down and brush your teeth and wash your face yourself." Hu Xiaobei changed his position and was about to put An Xiaoqian down.

An Xiaoqian hooked her long legs around Hu Xiaobei's waist, saying, "I'm not wearing shoes, I can't get down~ You can carry me while I wash up~"

Hu Xiaobei quickly supported her buttocks with both hands to steady her body.

He glanced at the slippers he had just retrieved through the shadow and placed beside him, then looked at the spoiled An Xiaoqian with affection and gently patted her pert bottom: "Stop fooling around, I still need to help Auntie make breakfast."

After you're done washing up, remember to teleport back to your room so the housekeeper doesn't find out. Also, I didn't bring your skincare products.

An Xiaoqian glanced at the toiletries on the washstand, but instead of getting off, she put her arms around Hu Xiaobei's neck: "Tsk tsk, even toiletries were prepared in advance. No wonder he secretly carried me over last night. Did someone plan this all along?"

Hu Xiaobei smiled helplessly, gently pressing his forehead against An Xiaoqian's forehead and applying slight pressure outwards: "The toiletries are all spares I got from you. Also, you were the one who teleported here first last night."

An Xiaoqian turned her head away, gave a light snort without batting an eye, and retorted, "I just came to check if you were asleep, and then I teleported back~"

Tell me, in the end, wasn't it you who forcibly carried me back? Wasn't it you who forcibly carried me and said you wanted to sleep?

"..." Hu Xiaobei was stunned, his mouth slightly open, and after a long while he finally uttered, "What you said makes so much sense, I have no words to say!"

An Xiaoqian had the upper hand and felt a little smug. Just as she was about to press her advantage, she seemed to suddenly remember something, turned around and looked at Hu Xiaobei, asking three questions in a row: "Huh... when did you go to get the toiletries?"

And...when do you brush your teeth and wash your face?

Hmm—did you sneak off to sleep somewhere else while I was asleep?

Seeing that she was getting more and more excited, Hu Xiaobei knew that he could not continue to fight her, so he quickly explained: "You have both spatial abilities and shadow abilities."

Use your brain and think about how I managed to get all these things done while lying in bed.
"Alright, get down quickly, or Auntie will find out if you keep dragging this out." With that, he slightly raised his chin and gently squeezed the area with both hands.

An Xiaoqian's delicate body trembled, her ears turned red, and she lightly touched her slippers with her jade feet, instantly giving in.

Hu Xiaobei chuckled and strode out the door, his hands behind his back, still proudly showing An Xiaoqian the action of making a grasping motion, as if savoring something.

An Xiaoqian watched his departing figure, her lips slightly pursed, she let out a soft hum, stomped her jade-like feet lightly, and even deliberately waved her little fist at the air.

She seemed slightly angry in a fit of rage, but a helpless yet sweet smile unconsciously curved her lips: "You always bully me~ Hmph, just you wait! I'll definitely get my revenge later~"

Given the wealth that Hu Xiaobei and his two companions have now, they should have hired someone to manage the villa and no longer had to deal with household chores.

However, not only do the three of them possess extraordinary abilities, but their daily lives are also somewhat different from ordinary people. They are more likely to do things themselves than others.

Take dietary needs as an example; previously, it was only Hu Xiaobei who had an amazing appetite.

Now, An Xiaoqian and Liu Xiaoli have also embarked on the path of evolution, possessing the ability of Shadow Devouring, which allows them to obtain energy by eating and accelerate their own evolution.

Although they could achieve this goal entirely through Shadow Devouring, Hu Xiaobei's culinary skills were superb, and the dishes she made were so fragrant and mouthwatering that they were truly too tempting.

Moreover, with their strong digestive abilities, they no longer need to worry about gaining weight or losing their figure, so they can eat a lot at every meal.

If outsiders were to find out about such an unusually large amount of food intake, it would inevitably attract some unnecessary trouble.

Furthermore, the two villas are large enough that they can not only cultivate a lot of fruits and vegetables, but also meet their daily needs for exercising their abilities.

That's why they chose to take care of the household chores themselves to minimize the risk of leaks.

Of course, this is a modern society, and not everything has to be done by oneself.

An Xiaoqian and Liu Xiaoli are actually doing alright; even if they work on their skills, there won't be much of a commotion for the time being.

Hu Xiaobei is different. The number of abilities he can master is almost unlimited, and the types of things he needs to try and experiment with are also extremely diverse.

Therefore, he needs to stay away from ordinary people in order to feel at ease to carry out various attempts.

In light of this, he specifically bought several villas near the two large villas as well. He also enclosed the entire area with thick, high walls, creating a vast living and leisure area exclusively for the three of them.

Of course, because there are satellites in the sky, there are some things that cannot be tried in broad daylight.

Fortunately, he can use his shadow ability to quickly dig and create an underground space to store various supplies and conduct various experiments.

Although he and An Xiaoqian had enough personal space, some supplies didn't really need to take up space in their personal space all the time.

In addition, the villa area is indeed too large now, and they simply don't have the energy and time to manage it all themselves.

Fortunately, all three of them can control their shadows, allowing them to quickly complete tasks such as cleaning within their perception range.

In particular, Hu Xiaobei specifically combined the shadow data panel to develop the shadow housework mode.

This mode integrates perception, wide-range control, and detailed processing.

The three of them only need to spend a few minutes each day using the housework mode, which not only trains their shadow manipulation skills but also cleans the villa area, achieving two goals at once.

In addition, Hu Xiaobei also specially added a food section and many other lifestyle sections to the Shadow Household Chores mode to make it easier for them to use in the future.

When not actively controlled, shadows already possess a certain level of intelligence, which complements these newly developed modes perfectly.

Even An Xiaoqian, who was originally a complete novice who only knew how to make scrambled eggs with tomatoes, was able to control her shadow with a thought to cook all kinds of difficult dishes.

However, due to the need for secrecy, you still have to be responsible for things like buying groceries in advance.

Unlike in the future, now you can simply place an order on an app and have it delivered to your doorstep.

Of course, there are advantages to it now. At least ordinary people don't have to worry about eating pre-made food when they go to restaurants.

After breakfast, the three of them sat around in the living room and talked about wedding preparations.

Due to their special status and great influence, even if they wanted to hold a quiet wedding, it would be difficult for them to do so.

After all, the whole world is watching this wedding, and expectations from all sides are extremely high.

Therefore, after discussing some key matters, the subsequent preparatory work will be handled by our own employees and top professional companies in the industry.

However, there are still many details that they need to finalize themselves, such as the selection of some guests.

Compared to An Xiaoqian's countless relatives and friends, Hu Xiaobei's side was extremely simple and could be completely ignored.

At this moment, An Xiaoqian is constantly compiling various lists.

With her parents around, she doesn't need to worry about relatives.

Over the years since her debut, she has acted in many movies and TV series, and has made quite a few friends through her work.

There are a whole bunch of people I've worked with, including actors, directors, action choreographers, costume and prop masters, lighting and cinematographers.

Sometimes things are like this: you send out invitations, and if the other person is too busy to come, that's fine.

If you don't send out invitations, others might feel that you look down on them.

Especially for a world-class superstar like An Xiaoxi, every word and action attracts a lot of attention. It is very possible that simply forgetting to invite one person could attract the media's focus.

Although they don't need to worry about these gossips with their current strength, they are still quite disgusting.

It's worth noting that some celebrities have been ridiculed by the media simply because they distributed different types of wedding candy at their weddings.

Hu Xiaobei didn't want his wedding with An Xiaoqian to be tainted by this messy, ridiculous stuff.
