Chapter 269 – Buffe

t

Xiao Qin brought her sketchbook with her to the set today. She said she wanted to draw my heroic posture with a unique perspective. Although I felt there was no ‘heroic’ posture since I was playing an evil monk who gets slashed to death by the fresh blood prince after harassing a maid.

Under Auntie Ren’s recommendations, a scene artist (an older sister with large glasses) gave Xiao Qin some basic guidance, but obviously her artistic style was not acceptable by human terms. I saw the scene artist reveal an expression of despair after trying her hardest.

Since the character I play dies today, it was my final day on the set of ‘The Magic Cauldron’. I originally thought a memorable event would occur, but the crew hustled as usual. People continuously entered and left the scene and no one cared about the end of my journey.

No, that’s not entirely accurate. At least after Ai Mi sent me flying with a kick three times on camera, she said to me with a hint of loneliness in her voice:

“Is it already over. I was planning on kicking the manservant’s head every week, it’s all because they messed up the film plans.”

Peng TouSi brought Obama to set today, the first-rate husky spoke to me with deep emotions:

“Woof, woof.”

Auntie Ren had no choice but to agree to eating together because she couldn’t endure Xiao Qin’s pestering. The three of us sat together in the dining room and Xiao Qin grabbed onto my arm and asked me to feed her fried shrimp balls. The scene where Auntie Ren stared at me was the definition of awkward.

In the afternoon, it was time for the role of the evil monk to come to an end.

Su Qiao saluted me while wearing the fresh blood prince’s maid outfit and thanked me for my care. I didn’t particularly feel I did anything worth her thanks.

According to the script, I have to rip open Su Qiao’s clothes on her chest, then I’ll get slashed to death by an Australian warrior.

But for some weird reason, the crew had a strange rule to protect minors. The person who actually harassed Su Qiao was a body double (The monk’s hands are heavily wrapped with bandages anyway, so you can’t even tell if it was a female’s hand). In the end, I was only responsible for some finishing actions.

To be honest, I don’t want to use a double since it’s not like I’m doing anything dangerous. Why didn’t you use a double when the fresh blood prince slashed my head with a prop sword. He hit so hard I got a bump on my head.

Whatever, at least they didn’t use tomato juice, that stuff is sticky and gross. If it was Director Cao, he definitely would have added special effects to make the death even more gruesome and explosive.

My first experience as an actor came to an end. I was inevitably a bit down, but the director invited everyone to a buffet since we wrapped up early and to celebrate Kyle’s early recovery.

Ai Mi didn’t like noisy places, so she left early. She even asked me if I wanted to go with her before she left.

“I would rather go play whack-a-mole. If you don’t hold me back, I could beat 004 and 005’s record. I even have a French chef to make me meals, why would I want to eat this inferior buffet.”

The Chinese people and the few foreigners who understood Chinese all grimaced when Ai Mi bluntly said the buffet was inferior.

From my point of view, it doesn’t look bad ~~~~ there’s fried chicken wings, fries, fried bread, grilled eel, suckling pig, oysters, sashimi, foie gras, steak, frog crab, sweet shrimp, and cheesecake and Häagen-Dazs…

Ah, it would have been nice if I called Xiong YaoYue since I still owe her Häagen-Dazs…

But please don’t misunderstand, it has nothing to do with the fact I touched her breasts. I only felt the Häagen-Dazs chocolate fountain was overly extravagant and wasteful. A lot of it will go to waste since there is a ton of food.

I was starving so I didn’t have the patience to wait for a French chef to cook, so I told Ai Mi I would stay for the buffet. If she also stays, we can sit together with Auntie Ren and Xiao Qin.

Auntie Ren cast an inquisitive gaze towards me, damn, I forgot Auntie Ren and Xiao Qin were on bad terms. Even if Ai Mi was able to get closer to Xiao Qin by fighting, Ai Mi didn’t like her either.

Kyle walked up and said to Ai Mi:

“Beautiful girl, youu kan sit by me….”

Ai Mi was pissed and clenched her teeth. After a few seconds of silence, she faked a smile and said to Peng TouSi: “Didn’t you hear, Kyle is calling you. You can sit next to him.”

Peng TouSi sincerely looked at the dashing Kyle with his scar riddled eyes. It caused him to break out in a sweat and quickly avert his gaze.

In the end, Ai Mi chose to leave. She left with her head held high, but she glanced at me twice to see if I changed my mind before she left. When she saw me greedily lining up in front of the steak, she stomped her feet and left in a fit of anger.

Since the buffet had sweet shrimp and frog crab, I thought Xiao Qin would be the first to line up since she loved seafood. But I neglected the fact her androphobia was still not cured, and since there were a lot of young men walking around, she hid at her seat and didn’t get any food.

I would feel guilty if I watch someone starve, and it would be waste if no one eats this mountain of food (it looks like I’m being influenced by the class leader). Thus I took three frog crabs and two sweet shrimp and put it on Xiao Qin’s empty plate.

“Boo hoo hoo ~~~~(gt;_lt;)~~~ Ye Lin classmate is actually nice to me, I’ll have no regrets even if I die right now.”

Auntie Ren was staring daggers at me when she heard her daughter say such exaggerated words right after getting off the phone.

Right, Auntie Ren didn’t let Xiao Qin sit next to me. Instead, the two of them sat across from me as if they were interrogating me.

At the time I still didn’t know that one hour later I would be sitting in an interrogation room being stared at coldly by counter-narcotics police.
