Chapter 48 Donkey-hide gelatin stewed milk
When Ji Hanxi heard this, he suddenly felt a surge of anger in his heart and his body was shaking with anger.
She said, "Stop pretending to be profound and self-righteous! Do you think you know me well? I'm telling you, I'm shallow. I only look at appearances. I just like muscular men! What do you know? What do you, a sissy who's neither male nor female, know?! When we met today, I didn't lose my charm. I saw that his muscles were more toned than before, and I actually liked him more!"
Ji Hanxi's words were clearly lies, spoken in anger, deliberately intended to provoke him. How could he, who knew her so well, not know this? But even if he knew, he couldn't help but be affected by it, and his brows furrowed.
Seeing his expression, she pressed the issue, "If we find he's truly incompatible with me later on, that's fine, I can just find someone else. The guy I added on WeChat today is even more handsome than the mixed-race guy, and he's also the masculine type that suits my taste. There are so many muscular and handsome guys in this world, I doubt there won't be one who meets my standards!"
This time, Vivienne's frown wasn't just a simple frown; her eyes were filled with emotion, a lingering feeling. That man had just asked for her WeChat, and he'd seen it all. Thinking about his appearance, it certainly matched her taste perfectly...
"You said before that you would give me an equal chance to pursue you, but in reality you never gave me one...Your choices are always among those muscular men, never towards me."
"Yeah, what I said before about giving you an equal opportunity to pursue your dreams was a lie, and what I said about looking at you without any prejudice was also a lie. So what? My little lie is not even one tenth of what you lied to me." Ji Hanxi said this without any shame.
This kind of deception, perhaps, could not be called deception at all. After all, Vivienne knew her so well that she might have noticed it the moment she said it.
"It doesn't matter..." He suddenly said softly, "Anyway, I have never asked for any equality..." Opportunities are never given, they are fought for and forcibly created.
“…” When Ji Hanxi heard him say this, she didn’t relax at all. Instead, she frowned, feeling that he was weird.
"You are not prejudiced against any of them, but only against me. You are equal to all of them, but not to me. My starting point is different from all of them. Does this mean that I am the most special one?" He said this without any joking, as if he was thinking about this problem seriously.
Ji Hanxi was stunned by his train of thought, "Are you...are you sick? You..."
She stumbled and couldn't find any more accurate words to curse him. She just thought he was really sick. How could a normal person have such divergent thoughts?
The phone showed that there were still more than ten minutes before her scene started shooting, so she quickly turned around and left.
She didn't want to stay with him any longer, for fear that she would be infected with this abnormal thinking virus.
She went back to the dressing room first, wanting to see if her makeup had been ruined. When she opened the door, she saw only a few people inside. Jing Chen was still there. He seemed to have expected her to come back. When he saw her, he said, "This is for you. Filming is hard and requires high-intensity work. You can't do it without good physical strength."
Ji Hanxi saw what he handed over. It was a small bottle of red ginseng oral liquid. Although the amount was small, the effect was very strong. It was said that drinking this when you are exhausted can quickly restore your condition.
"Thank you, Brother Jingchen." She reached out to take it.
"Uh..." A voice came from the corner.
Ji Hanxi turned around and found that Vivienne's assistant was still there, holding a beautifully packaged box in his hand.
"Ms. Ji, this is the donkey-hide gelatin and red ginseng stewed milk that Teacher Vivienne asked someone to make specifically for you." As he said this, he also handed over the box.
The assistant's gaze was even more earnest than Jingchen's. After all, this was a task assigned by Vivienne. If it was not completed, the entire team would be shrouded in low pressure.
At this moment, the door suddenly opened and Vivienne walked in. He glanced at the two objects and the person involved, and quickly understood the situation.
He walked over, reached out and slowly opened the box held by his assistant. "This is made by a special chef. It nourishes the blood and replenishes physical strength, which is very good for girls. Moreover, it uses fresh ingredients and is slow-cooked on the same day. It does not contain any additives. It is much better than some ready-made drinks."
He smiled sinisterly, secretly devaluing other people's things again and again. The so-called finished beverage rich in additives he mentioned was naturally the red ginseng oral liquid that Jing Chen was holding.
The donkey hide gelatin and red ginseng stewed in milk is served in a white porcelain soup pot, beautifully and securely packaged. When you open it, it's steaming hot, and a burst of milky aroma hits you. The stew itself is incredibly flavorful, and after being sealed and simmered for so long, the donkey hide gelatin and red ginseng have thoroughly blended into the milk.
Jing Chen's grip on the glass bottle tightened unconsciously, and he frowned. The Red Ginseng Drink was already excellent, but it pales in comparison to this freshly brewed nutritional supplement.
He thought he understood girls well; he had a sister, after all. He knew some of a girl's preferences and habits more easily than other men. But how could this man understand girls better than any other man he'd met? What normal man would consider freshly brewed nutritional supplements? Few would even consider the idea of a girl needing to replenish her Qi and blood; the average man would only consider a simple functional drink like Red Bull Dongpeng.
But this person... Jing Chen looked carefully at Vivienne's outfit, lingering on her beautiful makeup for a moment.
The final conclusion is: she must be a gay friend.
Jing Yao said that many girls nowadays have gay friends, and the person in front of him fits his impression of gays, so it is very likely that he is Ji Hanxi's gay friend.
Gay friends are also best friends, so it is normal for them to understand girls and it is also normal for them to be so considerate.
Even if he was wrong and this guy wasn't a gay friend, it wouldn't matter. After all, according to Ji Hanxi's aesthetic taste and preferences, she would definitely not be interested in a man like this.
After reaching this conclusion, he silently put down his worry.
"Drinking steaming hot stewed milk like this in winter is the best for your health. It will keep your hands and feet from getting cold when you go out to film later."
She tilted her head, "I don't want to drink, don't bother."
"Try it. If you really don't like it, we won't drink it. Let's drink the bird's nest and peach gum ones next time, okay?" Vivienne coaxed her gently, treating her like a child.
The assistant beside him was a little surprised. He had been with Vivienne for so long, but when had he ever seen him coax anyone? And he spoke so softly, so considerately and patiently. It was simply terrifying, simply horrifying.
This feeling was as terrifying as the sky falling... And Miss Ji actually dared to reject him so directly, and Vivienne didn't even get angry when she was rejected? You know, in the past, not to mention being rejected, as long as others behaved in the slightest way that didn't go his way, he would fly into a rage and insult them wantonly. This behavior now is really unfamiliar.
But Vivienne has been acting strangely lately. I've never seen her so attentive to anyone before. Could it be...
The assistant looked at the two people in front of him, and as soon as a strange thought came to her mind, she quickly shook her head. Love affairs had absolutely nothing to do with someone like Vivienne! This was the consensus of everyone in the company! Vivienne only loved money. He was a money-lover. Money was more important to him than his life. There was no way he could fall in love with a human being!
Ji Hanxi actually wanted to drink that stewed milk because it smelled delicious...
But she was angry now, and she couldn't just coax him. Vivienne had ruined her long-awaited date with the mixed-race handsome guy. How could she drink what he gave her? Wouldn't drinking it mean accepting his advances? She wouldn't drink it!
Besides, both Brother Jingchen and Vivienne were giving her things. If she accepted one and not the other, it would seem like she had made a choice between them. She was afraid that the one who accepted would misunderstand and misinterpret her meaning.
It would be better not to accept any of them, so that they wouldn't be too self-indulgent and think that she was interested in them.
"You guys drink it by yourselves. It's time and I have to go to film." After saying this, he turned around and prepared to leave.
"Wait a minute." It was Vivienne's voice.
"What?" She frowned and looked at him.
"Your makeup is smudged." He asked his assistant to repackage the stewed milk and walked over to her.
After he reminded her, Ji Hanxi quickly looked in the makeup mirror and found that the lipstick on her lips had faded a little.
I remember the purpose of entering the dressing room was to check if my makeup was smudged, but after being disturbed by these people, I inexplicably forgot my original purpose.
Fortunately, she didn't go out to film like this. She picked up the lipstick on the table, looked at the color number, compared it with the color on her lips, trying to find a matching one.
Which lipstick did the makeup artist use?
Just as her fingertips were sweeping across a row of lipsticks, Vivienne reached out and stopped her.
"Don't use the cosmetics here. They're shared with so many people. It's not clean."
As soon as these words were spoken, the assistant immediately understood, put the stewed milk in his hand aside, and took out a large makeup box that had been prepared long ago.
When the makeup box was opened, all kinds of cosmetics were found inside, including nearly a hundred lipsticks of different colors.
"The color that the makeup artist applied to you is not good, and it doesn't suit the personality of the junior sister. Use this one, this one is suitable..." Vivienne knew these colors by heart, and she picked out one at random, which was the one she wanted.
When he was about to help her put on lipstick, she resisted and tilted her head slightly.
"For the sake of filming and work, what's the point of enduring this little bit of grievance?" he said.
Ji Hanxi didn't think it was a grievance; she just felt awkward. But Vivienne was right; for the sake of filming and work, she shouldn't be so pretentious. It was getting late, so she should quickly touch up her makeup before filming.
So she stopped resisting and let Vivienne help her apply lipstick.
He applied it meticulously, and as he blended it slowly with a lip brush, the nail extensions touched her skin.
It was light, itchy, yet slightly cold. When the touch passed through her skin, her heart trembled, and many memories inexplicably emerged...
Chaotic erotic and lascivious memories, both in reality and in dreams, mixed together and attacked her.
Why would I think of that? It was just his manicure touching me, but I had all these random thoughts. It's really scary.
