Chapter 18 -18 The Arrogant Boss_1

“Don’t worry, little sister, your brother will cover for you,” Lu said reassuringly.

Bowing his head, he gently stroked her fuzzy hair with his hand.

In one evening, Xia Ningxing had thoroughly devoured the script.

For the following month, Xia Ningxing did nothing but film, film, and still more filming.

Her brother became virtually an assistant, fetching tea and water, taking care of her so well that it saved Xia Ningxing a lot of trouble.

Her acting was skilled and natural, explosive when it needed to be and gentle when required, remarkably resilient, not at all like a newcomer to the field. Nearly every scene was aced in one take, and if not, it was usually someone else’s fault.

This made Director Xu exclaim, “Little friend Xia Ningxing, is this really your first time acting?”

“Yes!” Xia Ningxing blinked her moist eyes.

She wasn’t lying, woof, this body was indeed acting for the first time!

“Then you’re truly a born actor.”

Xia Ningxing responded modestly, “Not at all, not at all.”

One must remain low-key!

Otherwise, they’ll attract jealousy!

Lu Tingli counted the days and suddenly realized the ‘little creature’ from next door hadn’t been pestering him for almost half a month.

And she was always sneaking around with her brother.

So, while he was relieved, he also couldn’t help but become curious.

What in the world were these two up to?

Logically, he shouldn’t be so childish, but he was still a child himself and had trouble controlling his impulses.

So…

“Hey, Xia Ningxing.”

One day, Lu Tingli pretended to water plants at his door when he saw the little creature and her brother holding hands, ready to leave, and casually called out to her.

The young boy in a black shirt and pants stood tall, his height making him stand out amongst his peers, and his black hair shimmered faintly in the sunlight. His eyes, deep as a valley, were fixed on the little girl.

“Lu!” Xia Ningxing immediately saw a vision of large bills in her eyes and became excited. She eagerly shook off her brother’s hand and scampered over to him with a sycophantic smile, her eyes nearly squinted into a slit, “Lu, did you call me?”

Come to think of it, this was the first time he had initiated a conversation with her!

“Hmm… what have you been up to recently?” Tingli asked casually.

With obedience, Xia Ningxing answered, “I’ve been filming, Lu.”

Lu Tingli furrowed his brows slightly, puzzled, “Why?”

A child should be playing, not filming.

Xia Ningxing blinked her watery eyes, “To make money.”

Lu Tingli fell silent, then remembered that her mother had been laid off and their household must be struggling, “Where are you filming?”

“Ping’an Road 1-12, but you can’t tell anyone, okay!” Xia Ningxing batted her watery eyes, her voice soft and cute.

“Oh, I thought you might be involved in something detrimental to the era’s progress with all your early departures and late returns, but now I can relax,” Lu Tingli said with a stern face and an indifferent tone, explaining why he had taken the initiative to speak to her.

After speaking, he walked away with hands behind his back, as if that were the whole truth of the matter.

Xia Ningxing narrowed her eyes and watched the young boy’s receding figure, raising her hand to give him the finger.

He was clearly concerned about her yet made up excuses!

Such a tsundere!

“Little sister, what’s so great about that stinky boy? He’s always acting like he knows everything. We should get going,” her brother said loudly, unable to hide his jealousy after she stared at another boy for so long.

Xia Ningxing, however, was startled and immediately stood on tiptoe and covered his mouth, looking earnest yet severe, “Brother, I won’t let you talk about Lu like that! Lu is the best, the very best in the whole world!”

Did her brother no longer value his life, daring to speak ill of the big boss!

Not far away, Lu Tingli heard the siblings’ conversation and he snorted softly to himself.

It seemed his rescue hadn’t been in vain after all.

Big brother’s tears: “…”

Girls are extroverts!

Today they were filming a winter scene.

So at the moment, Xia Ningxing was dressed in thick cotton clothes, her forehead’s black hair wet with sweat and clinging to her skin, her fair little face red from the heat, ready to start shooting.

Wearing a cotton-padded jacket in the sweltering heat was as uncomfortable as one might imagine!
