Aladdin's Lamp



Xian Tong was the one who appeared in the most prominent scenes; later, it was all done by stand-ins. It's like watching a 1.8-meter-tall man in a flamboyant school uniform jump down from the second floor.

Xian Tong felt a sudden tightness in his chest; even with a cushion underneath, he was still a little flustered.

The stunt double finished work quickly, and the staff cheered.

The performance went surprisingly smoothly, leaving Zhao Xuting quite impressed. These were all newcomers, and it was understandable that they would be nervous on their first time on camera. However, Xian Tong had given them a head start, and each of them delivered an outstanding performance as if they had been injected with adrenaline.

It made him very happy.

He simply invited everyone to dinner, since Zhao Xuting wasn't short of money anyway.

Dou Shiliu declined Zhao Xuting's invitation because they were tired after a long day. Zhao Xuting didn't insist and went with a group of enthusiastic young men. Wu Hua did go later.

Zhao Xuting and the others discussed and decided to go eat at a roadside stall together.

Dou Shiliu and Xian Tong then left first.

"Want to eat my cooking?" Dou Shiliu held Xian Tong's hand and carefully examined his fair hand.

Xiantong has gained a lot of weight recently; her hands are fair and tender, and they feel so soft to the touch.

A hint of surprise flashed in the boy's eyes, and he asked incredulously, "Sheng Deng can cook?"

Dou Shiliu narrowed her beautiful eyes slightly: "Tell me what you want to eat?"

She held Xiantong's hand and walked unhurriedly. Xiantong's bright eyes lit up, and she began to think seriously.

The streetlights cast their shadows long and thin, the two shadows overlapping each other, making them look unusually inseparable.

For some unknown reason, Xian Tong suddenly looked up, her beautiful, star-like eyes meeting Dou Shiliu's, as if she had fallen into a galaxy.

Just as Dou Shiliu thought he was about to name some fancy dish, the boy smiled broadly, revealing his cute little tiger teeth: "I want to eat scrambled eggs with tomatoes."

Dou Shiliu: "...", that simple?

She remained silent, muttering a few complaints to herself, and then they had unknowingly arrived at the supermarket entrance.

They're not famous now, nobody knows them, it's just that their stunning good looks make passersby stop and look at them.

Dou Shiliu and the others were already used to it, and they entered the supermarket with Xiantong.

"Get the shrimp, get the beer!"

Xiantong obediently put the items that Dou Shiliu mentioned into the shopping cart.

Dou Shiliu's eyes fell on the tomatoes next door. He walked over, picked one up, and looked at it.

These fresh plants, unirrigated by the sacred spring

But there wasn't time to plant any vegetables now, so Dou Shiliu hesitated for a moment before putting the tomatoes into the shopping cart.

Then, glancing at Xian Tong beside him, he said, "Give me some spare ribs, sweetie."

Xian Tong obediently went to get the ribs.

"And hairy crabs."

Xiantong glanced at the hairy crabs in the water, and then the staff took four of them.

It was tied up, but it kept blowing bubbles.

Dou Shiliu picked out the spices, bought two boxes of milk for Xiantong, and then they paid the bill together and left the supermarket.

He easily tossed the things in Xian Tong's hands into the spatial dimension.

Xian Tong's eyebrows twitched at his carefree manner.

Don't worry, no one saw it.

Dou Shiliu squeezed Xian Tong's hand reassuringly, and only then did he feel at ease.

After returning home, Dou Shiliu told Xiantong to watch TV outside, expecting that dinner would be ready in half an hour.

Xian Tong hesitated for a moment before saying, "I can help you wash the vegetables..."

"No need, my magic is much faster than you washing by hand."

Dou Shiliu indifferently shooed Xian Tong out: "Go drink your milk."

Xian Tong: "..."

After driving Xian Tong away, Dou Shiliu didn't touch the water; instead, he sprinkled all the materials with magic.

"Be a good girl and choose your own pot!"

The potatoes peeled themselves, the ribs and the knife moved on their own, and the water boiled by itself.

The fire grew increasingly fierce.

Dou Shiliu took out the recipe and seasonings to enhance the flavor.

Without lifting a finger, it was done in half an hour.

Xian Tong sat in the chair, looking at the dishes with all five flavors, still somewhat shocked.

"My sister is amazing!"

Dou Shiliu smiled and added a bowl of rice to his bowl.

It was delicious. Xiantong has a big appetite, and he ate almost all of the dishes.

I'll wash the dishes.

Dou Shiliu pulled him aside, lightly tossed aside the bowls on the table, and Xian Tong saw them line up and head to the kitchen.

Xian Tong: "..."

He now understood why Dou Shiliu always seemed so lazy and listless.

...

The next day, Dou Shiliu received a call from Zhao Xuting, who said that filming would be temporarily suspended for the next few days because Zhu Yanqing had been hit on the head with a beer bottle.

Dou Shiliu silently hummed in agreement, then calmly hung up the phone.

Aren't you going to the film set?

"I'm not going. I'll rest for a few days."

Xian Tong: "?"

Dou Shiliu smiled and explained to him. Although she didn't really understand why Zhu Yanqing didn't come, the director team could film other actors' scenes, so why take a few days off?

She wouldn't ask that question, because wouldn't it be better to rest for a few more days?

So Dou Shiliu and Xiantong happily stayed at home for a long time.

...

I'm sorry.

Wu Hua looked at Zhu Yanqing lying on the hospital bed with a lot of guilt. At this moment, his head was wrapped up like a mummy.

Zhu Yanqing blinked silently at his only exposed eye, which looked somewhat comical.

"It's nothing, it's nothing."

While Wu Hua and her friends were having barbecue, a group of people rushed up to her like crazy and started harassing her, since she was the only girl among them.

The group used extremely vulgar language, and Zhu Yanqing and his hot-blooded friends inevitably started fighting. Then, a petty man tried to smash a beer bottle over Wu Hua's head.

Zhu Yanqing was closest to her, so she blocked the beer bottle, which was smashed to pieces.

That's how we ended up with this scene.

Wu Hua directly sent people to cripple that group of people. Zhao Xuting and the others could hardly stop them. Wu Hua had a powerful background, so they didn't interfere.

Seeing Zhu Yanqing's attempt to make him laugh, Wu Hua's lips trembled and tears welled up in her eyes.

Zhu Yanqing: "..."

He looked at her flusteredly, tongue-tied and unsure how to comfort a girl, and could only manage to say, "Why are you crying? I'm not dead!"

"Wow... Waaah!"

Wu Hua rubbed her eyes and cried even harder. Just as Zhu Yanqing was at a loss, Wu Hua, who was crying like a little woman, suddenly spoke up: "Hiccup... Waaah, I... I crippled them... Waaah..."

Zhu Yanqing: "..."

You really are the boss, but could you please not use your cutest look to say such fierce things...?

"...Waaaaah...I guess I still have to hit them on the head, sew them up with eight stitches, and then throw them in salt water...Waaaah..."

Wu Hua thought that crippling them himself was letting them off too easily...

Tears fell uncontrollably, like pearls.

Zhu Yanqing: "..."

His eyes twitched silently, and he gained a new perspective on this adorable girl.
