Chapter 274, Part 2741
274:
Mu Shaowu was somewhat surprised when he saw the pendant on Ye Qingxi's hand.
"This doesn't look cheap."
Ye Qingxi also felt, "But my great-grandfather specially made this shape for me. If I don't accept it, it seems like he can't give it to anyone else."
"That's true."
"So I made a promise with him that when I grow up, I will give him a phoenix jade pendant," Ye Qingxi said.
Mu Shaowu: ? ? ?
Looking at his son's adorable little face, Mu Shaowu said, "You won't grow up for at least twelve years. By then, Grandpa Feng will be ninety years old."
I hope he can hold on!
"Okay." Mu Shaowu did not refute his son.
He was a typical young master who grew up in a world of wealth and luxury, so he didn't really care about money.
The jade pendant given by Old Master Feng was certainly valuable, but it wasn't anything particularly rare for Mu Shaowu.
He's accepted it, so what? Even if his fake boyfriend relationship with Feng Que ends later, and Old Master Feng is unhappy, which implicates Ye Qingxi, it doesn't matter.
At worst, he can just return the jade pendant. If the old man is still not satisfied, he can give him another one of equal value.
He has the ability, so he also has the right to not take these things seriously.
For Mu Shaowu, Ye Qingxi's moods always took precedence over everything else.
So if Ye Qingxi likes this jade pendant and wants to keep it, then he will let her keep it.
As for whether this jade pendant is too valuable, the old man gave Ye Qingxi such an expensive gift simply because he liked her. Is there any connection between the old man's belief that Ye Qingxi might be his future great-grandson and, if so, how much?
Mu Shaowu didn't care about any of this.
He only cares about Ye Qingxi.
So if Ye Qingxi likes it, she can naturally stay.
"Then you should wear it. I think it looks good on you. Putting everything else aside, Grandpa Feng has good taste. The color and style suit you very well."
Ye Qingxi thought so too.
He smiled at Mu Shaowu, then looked down at the jade pendant on his wrist and gently touched it.
Two days later, Zhong Yan and the others arrived.
Zhong Jue, as the head of the family, escorted the three children over once again.
As soon as the private jet landed, Zeng Chong had the driver pick them up and take them to the hotel where the film crew was staying.
Zhong Yan and Kang Cong spent almost a month traveling abroad during their winter break, and both of them have gotten tanned to varying degrees.
Zhong Yan was alright, but Kang Cong was as dark as a small lump of coal.
So much so that when Ye Qingxi saw the two of them, she couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "Why are you two so dark-skinned?"
Zhong Yan: !!!
Zhong Yan puffed up her cheeks in anger, "Don't you dare say I'm dark-skinned!"
Pei Liang said helplessly, "I told you you were dark-skinned, but you wouldn't let me say it."
Zhong Yan turned around and stomped on his foot, "Say that again!"
Pei Liang: ...
Ye Qingxi: ...
Ye Qingxi had no choice but to change the subject, asking, "Is it fun abroad?"
Kang Cong nodded, "It was fun. We visited so many places. It's a pity you didn't go, Xiao Xi, otherwise we could have played together."
Zhong Yan clearly disagreed with this.
"It's nothing special," he said dismissively.
"You don't like it?" Ye Qingxi asked.
Zhong Yan snorted, "They all speak English, I don't like it!"
Upon hearing this, Kang Cong quickly chimed in, "I don't like it either."
Zhong Jue, standing behind them, chuckled. "Now you two know how important English is, after all, you didn't study it properly."
"As long as I don't go abroad again, isn't that enough?" Zhong Yan said matter-of-factly.
Pei Liang sighed helplessly, "Are you stupid? Why don't you just hire a translator?"
Ye Qingxi nodded, "Or you can study English properly."
"No," Zhong Yan refused. "Let's not speak English anymore. Xiao Xi, how's it going with filming? Is it fun?"
"It's alright," Ye Qingxi said.
"Really? Are you filming today?"
"Mm." Ye Qingxi nodded.
He's almost finished filming, so his schedule is pretty full every day.
"Then we can watch it in a little while," Kang Congxi asked curiously.
Zhong Yan also asked curiously, "I've never seen anyone else make a movie before!"
"Sure."
Ye Qingxi had no objection.
They rode together in Mu Shaowu's nanny car to the film set.
This was the first time Kang Cong and his group had visited a film shooting location, and they found everything about it novel and fascinating.
"Is this how movies are made?"
"Mm." Ye Qingxi nodded.
As crew members passed by, seeing him with his friends, they greeted him respectfully, "Hello, Teacher Ye."
"Hello," Ye Qingxi said.
Zhong Yan asked, puzzled, "Why do they call you 'teacher'?"
"Yes, Xiaoxi, weren't you an actress here? How come you're a teacher now?" Kang Cong asked, puzzled.
Mu Shaowu chuckled upon hearing this.
Ye Qingxi: ...
Ye Qingxi could only say, "They call all the actors 'teachers,' and since I'm younger, I'm 'Teacher Ye'."
"Then you don't teach classes?"
Ye Qingxi: ...
"Of course I won't teach it."
"This isn't the teacher who gives lessons," Mu Shaowu explained to Ye Qingxi, fearing she wouldn't understand. "It's a respectful title, just like 'Mr.,' 'Miss,' or 'Madam.'"
Kang Cong still didn't understand, "Then why specifically a teacher?"
Mu Shaowu: This…
Ye Qingxi: This...
It seems like one day they suddenly started calling them that, and then they got used to it.
Neither of the two veterans in the entertainment industry knew how to answer, so Ye Qingxi changed the subject, saying, "That's our director, Uncle Feng."
Pei Liang and the others followed his gaze and saw a tall, handsome man walking towards them.
Although Feng Que's mixed-race features weren't as obvious as his father's, Zhong Yan was still shocked when she saw his deep-set eyebrows and somewhat green eyes, exclaiming, "He's a foreigner too?!"
“His father is of mixed race,” Ye Qingxi explained. “His grandmother is a foreigner.”
Zhong Yan: "Then his English must be very good."
Ye Qingxi nodded, "He can also tell English bedtime stories."
Pei Liang: ? ? ?
"He told you about it?"
Ye Qingxi: "My dad got sick a few days ago. He was afraid of infecting me, so he let me stay with him. He told me English bedtime stories."
Zhong Jue: ? ? ?
Zhong Jue glanced silently at Mu Shaowu, "The director and actors in your crew have such a good relationship?"
She also takes care of the actor's children when he is sick?
Mu Shaowu: ...
Is this... a good thing?
He thought about it carefully and realized it was true.
If it were any other director, he probably wouldn't have asked them to help him take care of his child, and they probably wouldn't have agreed so readily.
Mu Shaowu couldn't help but be surprised when he thought of this.
So why would he think of asking Feng Que to help him take care of Ye Qingxi?
Why would Feng Que agree?
He quickly found a reasonable explanation for himself: Feng Que really liked Ye Qingxi, and he had come for Ye Qingxi from the very beginning; he was even a bonus from his son.
It was because of his affection that he and Ye Qingxi had spent some time together before filming began, developing a relationship that went beyond that of a director and actor. That's why he thought of Feng Que and had no doubt that Feng Que would agree.
And Feng Que did indeed agree.
“Because he really likes Xiaoxi,” Mu Shaowu said. “From the very beginning, he really wanted Xiaoxi to act in this play, so of course he didn’t want Xiaoxi to be infected by me, and naturally he would be willing to help me take care of the child.”
"You like him so much that you're willing to tell him bedtime stories?" Zhong Jue asked in surprise.
Being willing to help take care of children is one thing, being willing to tell children bedtime stories is another.
It's especially thoughtful that it's in English.
Mu Shaowu: ? ? ?
Is that so hard to understand?
His son is just that popular!
Zhong Jue: ...Okay.
Zhong Jue nodded. "That's because he really likes it."
"That's his honor," Mu Shaowu said smugly.
Zhong Jue: ...Well, Ye Qingxi isn't narcissistic, but his dad thinks he is.
However, he thought about how much his father liked Ye Qingxi, and the praise that several other elders had for Ye Qingxi.
In a sense, Mu Shaowu is right.
As they were talking, Feng Que walked up to them.
"Uncle Feng, this is my friend," Ye Qingxi introduced him.
Upon hearing this, Pei Liang, acting very maturely, replied, "Hello."
"Hello," Feng Que said with a smile. "I heard from Xiao Xi that you were coming. Welcome!"
"Thank you," Pei Liang said politely.
"You're welcome," Feng Que replied.
"Uncle Feng, they want to watch me film in a little while," Ye Qingxi told him.
"Sure," Feng Que said with a smile. "Perfect timing, it's almost your turn to act."
"Then I'll go do my makeup," Ye Qingxi said.
"Mm." Feng Que nodded.
"Makeup? Xiao Xi, you wear makeup?" Zhong Yan exclaimed in surprise.
“You need to wear makeup when you perform on stage, let alone when you're making a movie,” Ye Qingxi said confidently.
“That’s true.” Zhong Yan nodded.
Ye Qingxi and Mu Shaowu went to the dressing room together.
When he reappeared, he was Qiao Tian.
When Pei Liang and the others saw that he was going to act, they cheered him on, saying, "Good luck!"
"Keep it up! He's acting exceptionally well. If he keeps going like this, no one else will need to act anymore," Feng Que said encouragingly.
Ye Qingxi was a little embarrassed, "Uncle Feng."
“I’m stating the facts,” Feng Que said, smiling at him.
“That’s right.” The assistant director also leaned out and said, “If Xiao Xi weren’t so young, we would have nominated him for Best Actor for this movie and made an attempt at becoming the Best Actor.”
Zhong Jue: ? ? ?
Pei Liang: !!!
Zhong Yan: !!!
Kang Cong: !!!
The three were shocked.
"Xiao Xi, you acted so well!"
Ye Qingxi: ...
Ye Qingxi was a little embarrassed, "It's okay."
Mu Shaowu shook his head, "It's not just okay, it's excellent."
Ye Qingxi: Why are you here too, Dad?
Ye Qingxi felt a little embarrassed by what he said.
Pei Liang and the others were pleasantly surprised and happy, their eyes shining brightly.
"Xiao Xi, you're amazing!" Kang Cong exclaimed.
"I never expected that we would have a movie star among us!" Zhong Yan had already automatically crowned him a movie star.
Pei Liang nodded: As expected of his friend, he is just as outstanding as him!
Ye Qingxi: ...
Ye Qingxi felt that his friends were really daring to believe.
They believe whatever others praise them for.
Without a shred of doubt!
So, when Ye Qingxi and Mu Shaowu entered the filming area, Feng Que shouted "action," and the two began filming.
Zhong Yan and Kang Cong watched, nodding occasionally and offering their sharp comments.
"Xiao Xi's acting was really good; she handled the plate so well."
"Looks just as good as usual! Great!"
"Xiao Xi made a good funny face. No wonder she's a movie star. But what is a movie star?" Kang Cong had been wondering about this for a while.
“It’s the one who acted the best in the movie,” Zhong Yan said. “Judging from what they just said, it’s Xiao Xi.”
"Will there be a certificate then?"
"I think there was a trophy," Zhong Yan recalled.
"That's great!" Kang Cong exclaimed happily. "The trophy looks better than the certificate."
I think so too.
Pei Liang: ...
Pei Liang sighed, wondering why someone as smart as him would have two such stupid childhood friends!
Thankfully, there's Ye Qingxi!
Ye Qingxi looks like his real childhood friend!
but……
Pei Liang watched Ye Qingxi and Mu Shaowu eating not far away. Was this what it meant to be a good actress?
He didn't quite understand; he felt that everyone ate like this at home.
It's like the kids are chattering away, and the parents are listening with a smile, replying with a few words.
Of course, he doesn't chatter; he's very composed.
Therefore, the composed Pei Liang felt that since the adults who filmed this drama thought Ye Qingxi acted well, then she must have acted well.
He truly is a good friend!
That was a great performance!
