Chapter 16 Yang Chaoyue Shaking Milk Tea
Xu Lang left the hotel feeling a bit down. As he walked out, he ran into Chai Biyun, who was returning from the film set.
She was originally walking with several actors from the film crew, but upon seeing Xu Lang, she deliberately slowed her pace. As she brushed past him, she suddenly shifted her feet to the side, speaking in a concerned tone:
"Xu Lang, what's wrong? You seem a bit off?"
She had been keeping an eye on Xu Lang these past few days and had learned that Xu Lang and Mao Xiaotong seemed to have grown somewhat distant recently.
For some reason, she felt a little secretly pleased.
Xu Lang glanced at her and said casually:
"It's okay, you're done working? Have you eaten?"
"I haven't eaten yet!" Chai Biyun's expression changed quickly, and she touched her stomach as she said:
"I'm a little hungry, have you eaten?"
Xu Lang forced a smile: "Want to eat something together?"
"Okay, I'll go back and change my clothes."
A dozen minutes later!
Chai Biyun not only changed into a comfortable and nice outfit, but also put on light makeup.
Her high nose bridge made her face very three-dimensional, and her big, watery eyes added a touch of innocence.
In particular, her facial features have very defined bone structure, which gives her a unique and distinctive look.
She's a completely different type from Mao Xiaotong's sweet girl!
She gave a faint smile: "Let's go!"
Xu Lang originally wanted to find a roadside stall to have some drinks, but given her current attire, going to a roadside stall wouldn't be very appropriate.
He asked Chai Biyun if there was anywhere she wanted to go, and she actually had one, saving Xu Lang the trouble of looking for her.
The two arrived at a restaurant that was somewhat stylish but also a little out of the way. Looking out the window, they could see some factories in the distance.
A large number of workers poured out of the factory like ants leaving their nest, dressed in simple clothes and with unpretentious smiles on their faces.
"Do you come here often?"
Xu Lang noticed her gaze, which was fixed on the direction of the factory.
Chai Biyun poured him a full glass of wine, her gaze still fixed on the direction of the factory:
"I attended a class at the Beijing Film Academy, and the teacher there told us that if you want to portray a character well and realistically, you should experience that character's life."
"If you don't have time to experience it firsthand, you can observe his life. After all, we sometimes work non-stop, and the lives of people at the bottom of society are the hardest to portray."
"When I was in Hengdian, I often came here to observe the workers' lives. I could see their smiles when they got off work, and I could also see their frugality and haste when they ate a fast food meal on the roadside. You could see all walks of life in them..."
She shared a lot about her understanding and methods of acting.
Xu Lang agreed with her methods. In his previous life, he knew such a remarkable person who was good at observing life and portraying ordinary people very realistically.
This person later became famous and went viral online for playing a role in a police drama, where he rose from a fishmonger in the market to become a gangster boss.
This theory is highly feasible!
Xu Lang also shared some of his thoughts on acting, and the two exchanged ideas back and forth as if they had endless things to say.
It feels like we've known each other for ages.
The two left the restaurant around 9:00 PM.
They were originally going to take a taxi back to the hotel together, but Xu Lang noticed a face that he recognized from his previous life, so he stopped and told Chai Biyun to go back to the hotel first.
He went to a bubble tea shop, looked at the girl shaking the bubble tea, and said:
"Give me a cup of mango pomelo sago!"
The girl looked up, her eyes widened slightly, and her lips twitched, but she quickly realized what she meant.
"Ah... thirteen yuan!"
Xu Lang also took advantage of the moment she looked up to stare at her tender face. Although she hadn't fully grown up yet, she was already a little beauty in the making.
In a previous life, she mentioned in an interview that her family was poor, and after dropping out of junior high school, she worked odd jobs in Shanghai and the Jiangsu-Zhejiang area, including as a waitress, tightening screws in an electronics factory, and making milk tea...
I never expected to run into this myself.
Xu Lang took out some money, handed it to her, and said:
"I'd like to drink milk tea sometime, do you offer delivery?"
The girl's hand, which had just taken the money, paused in mid-air as she stared at him, slightly hesitant.
"Um... I need to ask the boss!"
He turned around, took a couple of steps, then suddenly remembered something and looked back to ask:
Are you ordering a lot?
"Um...we're filming in Hengdian, probably around fifty cups."
"Okay, I'll ask the boss!"
She went inside and came back quickly:
"Fifty cups, I can deliver. Leave your phone number and address."
Xu Lang took out his phone and said, "I hope you can deliver it in person. Let's add each other on WeChat and by phone."
The girl was a little surprised, but also at a loss. She turned around and went inside, pulling the boss out.
The boss was a woman in her thirties. She looked Xu Lang up and down with a smile on her face.
"Sir, our delivery team is usually men. She's young and just started working, so it's not suitable for her to do delivery."
Xu Lang took out five hundred yuan, placed it on the table, pushed it in front of the boss, and said:
"I'll give you 500 yuan first, and it will be delivered to Hengdian around 11 a.m. tomorrow. If you're worried that she's too young, you can arrange for someone to deliver it with her."
The shop owner thought for a moment and then took the money.
Xu Lang eventually added the girl and the boss on WeChat and got their phone numbers. After waiting for the girl to make the mango pomelo sago dessert, he turned and left.
The shop owner and the girl watched him leave politely, staring at his retreating figure for a long time.
"Sister Li, he's so handsome, he can't be a bad guy, right?" The girl was a little infatuated, staring at his tall figure as he walked away.
The proprietress had been watching the whole time, and swallowed hard.
"Chaoyue, handsome guys like this are most likely to be scumbags, and young girls like you are most easily deceived. You have to remember that you came out here to earn money to support your family, so you can't waste your energy on this kind of thing."
Yang Chaoyue stared intently, lost in thought:
"I understand, but I'd like to bring him milk tea, is that okay?"
"You can never be too careful. You just haven't experienced the dangers of society," the landlady sighed softly.
The boy was indeed very handsome, but after years of working, she understood that looks couldn't put food on the table; ability was the real currency.
She couldn't let a young woman just entering society be cheated out of her money and her body by a scumbag, and be manipulated at his mercy.
"I'll deliver it with you tomorrow!"
……
next day!
The sun was blazing hot in Hengdian, and the actors and crew on set were using fans or hand fans to cool down.
Xu Lang, who had just finished filming, was also covered in sweat.
Today's filming went smoothly. Mao Xiaotong is back to her old self, and under Xu Lang's guidance, her acting has returned to what it was a few days ago.
"Xu Lang, it's so hot, let's go sit over there." Mao Xiaotong followed him over, a bright smile on her face.
Xu Lang took out his phone and looked at it, saying:
"Want some milk tea?"
"Milk tea?" Mao Xiaotong was both surprised and delighted.
"I thought you guys didn't like milk tea, so let's go buy some over there..."
"No need, I've already bought it!" Xu Lang looked at the milk tea shop owner who was riding a tricycle towards him not far away, and the girl sitting next to her.
He waved, and the tricycle came speeding over.
"Boss, the milk tea is here. It'll be 825 in total. You gave a 500 deposit yesterday, so you only need to give me another 300."
The proprietress spoke very generously, her eyes scanning the crew members.
Xu Lang paid first, then looked at the girl and said:
"Please help distribute them to everyone."
Then, looking at Mao Xiaotong, he said, "Go and call everyone over to get their milk tea."
With the help of the girl and the proprietress, the milk cart was quickly distributed, and Xu Lang ordered sixty cups for tomorrow.
Throughout the entire process, Xu Lang didn't say a single unnecessary word to the girl. He simply smiled at her and asked her to deliver the milk tea to a certain actor or staff member.
As for the milk tea for the director and Yu Zheng, Xu Lang personally delivered it to them.
After the proprietress and the girl left, Mao Xiaotong drank her milk tea contentedly, a little surprised:
"Why did you suddenly decide to order milk tea for everyone?"
"It's hot!" Xu Lang said casually, taking a sip of his milk tea. It was icy cold and refreshing.
My phone chimed, and when I took it out, I saw that it was the girl who had messaged me for the first time.
