Chapter 58 Wontons
Chapter 58 Wontons
"Don't scream in the middle of the night!!!"
"You're trying to scare people to death!!"
A voice came from a hospital room.
The singing stopped abruptly.
Liu Yifei was so frightened that she moved even closer to Qian Lang.
Qian Lang burst out laughing.
Fortunately, he was able to determine what songs Liu Yifei was suited to sing.
Sweet and chewy.
Gently, softly.
"That scared me to death."
As Liu Yifei entered the elevator, she patted her small chest and said...
He looked timid and cowardly.
"What are you pretending for? Aren't you supposed to be fearless?"
Qian Lang said something casually.
In his memory, Liu Yifei had always been a troubled girl.
I've never given him any face.
No one is as good as Su Chang. She's quiet and well-behaved. Su Chang is the only proper young lady.
"What? I'm very polite."
"Hahaha!"
Qian Lang laughed as if he had heard a joke.
Liu Yifei glared at him.
Her face was slightly flushed.
At this point, she also realized that while she seemed to be friendly and amiable to everyone, it was only with Qian Lang that things seemed to have been different from the very beginning...
The girl's heart was racing like a fawn.
The two quickly exited the elevator and walked out of the hospital lobby.
It was still quite cold in Beijing in March, so Qian Lang quickly pulled up his coat.
Liu Yifei was wearing quite a lot.
After leaving the hospital, Qian Lang looked around and saw lights shining from the roadside to the west.
Then they headed west.
The two chatted intermittently on the way.
The two soon arrived at the late-night snack stall.
The stall wasn't big; it was a converted tricycle with a stove on it, and steam was bubbling away in the pot.
There were two low tables set up next to it, surrounded by seven or eight small plastic stools, red in color, some of which were already worn white.
The stall owner was a man in his fifties, wearing a dirty apron, busy in front of the stove.
Seeing someone approaching, he raised his head, revealing a mouthful of smoky, yellow teeth.
"What would you like to eat?"
Qian Lang looked into the pot; it contained wontons and glass noodles, with tea eggs and ham sausages placed next to them.
"Two bowls of wontons, plus a tea egg."
"Okay!"
"Sit down!"
Qian Lang greeted Liu Yifei and then sat down.
Liu Yifei, however, was full of curiosity and looked around aimlessly.
"What? You've never tried it before?"
Qian Lang asked in surprise.
"No, my mom never lets me eat in places like this."
"Your mom's so dramatic!"
"You're not allowed to talk about my mother like that!"
"Alright, let's not talk about it anymore. But Liu Yifei, one should never forget one's roots. Ten years ago, being able to eat in a place like this would have been a luxury."
As Qian Lang spoke, he thought of his childhood.
That was around 90, when he was in elementary school. Being able to go to town to eat a bowl of wontons was like a festival for him.
Liu Yifei was a little unconvinced and wanted to say something, but she swallowed her words.
"Be polite!"
The girl said something to herself.
Soon, two bowls of wontons arrived, piping hot, with a few scallions floating on top, and the aroma of lard filled the air even before you took a bite.
It looks appetizing.
Qian Lang couldn't wait to pick up the spoon.
Liu Yifei followed suit.
But as soon as she started eating, her eyes widened.
It's so delicious!!
They ate in silence, both concentrating intently on their wontons.
Qian Lang took a few bites, then tilted his head back, satisfied.
only!
What the hell?
What did he see?
By this time, Liu Yifei had finished eating, even drinking the soup, and was still looking at the wontons in his bowl.
"Have you finished eating?"
"Uh-huh!"
Liu Yifei nodded.
But his eyes were still fixed on Qian Lang's wontons.
"Would you like another bowl?"
Qian Lang asked uncertainly.
The girl raised her head, her eyes crinkling with laughter.
-----------------
Qian Lang didn't let Liu Yifei stay with him at the hospital; instead, he sent her back to school.
The school was already closed, so he called Zhang Huijun before he was able to let Liu Yifei in.
Qian Lang found it somewhat amusing to watch Liu Yifei disappear into the campus.
Liu Yifei didn't just ask for another bowl, she asked for yet another bowl!
This girl ate so much she almost couldn't stand up.
He also knew how the "Fat Fei" came about in the future. What fairy sister? She was just a foodie.
When he returned to the hospital, Liu Tao called.
Hearing that he had been admitted to the hospital, she wanted to come over, but Qian Lang persuaded her not to.
He couldn't sleep after eating, so he started choosing songs.
He made his choice very quickly!
200 exchange points!
"I'll be there for you, doing the weird and the cute!"
Thinking about the lyrics and melody of the song, he felt that when the song was released, Liu Yifei would definitely charm everyone.
Even now, he still can't sleep!
I guess he slept too much during the day.
What a bizarre day.
Then he started thinking about the film crew, lunch boxes, extras, etc. In a daze, Qian Lang finally closed his eyes.
The next day!
It started to drizzle in Beijing, where it hadn't rained in a long time.
After getting checked out and completing the discharge procedures, I took a taxi to the company. After picking up the car downstairs at the company, I went directly to Huairou!
He arrived at the film set around 10 a.m., which is the busiest time for the crew.
He didn't cause any trouble; he greeted Ning Hao and then watched quietly.
It was also an observation of Ning Hao's storytelling ability.
I must say, Ning Hao really has some skills; he always manages to spot an actor's shortcomings at crucial moments.
This put his mind at ease.
Then he took a stroll around the film set.
I took a look at the props, costumes, and other items.
And you know what? He actually figured something out.
The costumes provided to the extras had a strong odor; you could smell a sour smell as soon as you got close, like a bowl of porridge that had been sitting out for a week.
Moreover, they were just piled up haphazardly, without being arranged neatly.
At the same time, the environment of the entire film crew was also very poor, with litter everywhere, food wrappers, beverage bottles, etc., scattered all over the place!
In short, things that seemed normal to him before now seem particularly jarring.
At noon, he ate boxed lunches with several key personnel.
The taste wasn't great, but it was still edible, and the portion size was decent.
The only problem is that the food was a bit cold.
"You guys eat, I'll take a look around."
Qian Lang finished his boxed lunch in a few bites and stood up.
"You eat so fast."
Yang Lei said from the side that she wanted to give him the chicken leg from her lunchbox, since she couldn't finish it.
"I'm not a lady."
Qian Lang said with a smile, and then walked towards the positions of several extras.
"Hey guys, are you eating? Is the food getting a little cold?"
Qian Lang said this while offering cigarettes.
"Oh, please don't say that. We're lucky to have anything to eat."
"Yes, at least this production crew didn't discriminate based on rank."
There weren't many extras in the film crew, just a few people.
Now they're praising the film crew.
Qian Lang then squatted down beside them and started chatting with them.
"How are things on set? Nobody's bullying you, right?"
"No, Director Ning is a nice person, and the teachers are also respectful. Mr. Qian, is this your film crew?"
One of the extras gave a thumbs-up as he spoke.
"Haha, thank you for exaggerating. If you have any objections, just tell me. We're a small production crew, we don't have such strict rules. I'll have someone get an insulated box later; we can't go without something hot in this cold weather!"
"That would be great!"
"Okay, you guys keep eating, I'll go take a walk around!"
Qian Lang stood up as he spoke and continued spinning around.
