Abused Female Lead And Beautiful Villainess (Quick Transmigration) Chapter 131 : . Becoming a Celebrity The Fought-Over-by-Big-
"The flavor at this barbecue place is really excellent. Actress Fu and I have been here several tis. We always eat until we're stuffed, but we still want to co back next ti."
Shen Wan and Fu Qingman led Jing Ge into a barbecue restaurant, bringing over plate after plate of at and arranging them on the table.
As she placed the at on the grill, Shen Wan told Jing Ge how delicious the barbecue was here.
Jing Ge watched as the perfectly sliced at was placed on the grill. In no ti, the at changed color, glistening with oil and making sizzling sounds. The aroma wafting to his nose made Jing Ge realize just how hungry he was.
As a male artist who had achieved the status of an award-winning actor, his success was due not only to his acting skills but also to his outstanding appearance.
Like female artists, he didn't dare eat too much to maintain his figure. If he ever indulged, he'd spend the next few days practically living in the gym.
During filming periods, he wouldn't dare eat freely to maintain his physique.
Filming schedules were already tight. If he really gained weight or upset his stomach, the impact would be significant.
High-calorie foods like barbecue, especially in such large quantities, were sothing he only allowed himself when he wasn't filming and had no public appearances scheduled. Even then, he wouldn't dare eat only at like Shen Wan was doing, with barely any greens on the entire grill.
"We still have filming tomorrow, and this movie will take at least a month or two to shoot," Jing Ge said, watching Shen Wan dip a freshly grilled piece of at in sauce before popping it into her small mouth, which sohow managed to envelop the entire piece. She chewed quickly, her eyes bright – that piece of at must have been particularly delicious.
No matter how tasty it was, he felt he should remind Shen Wan. If she gained weight from eating like this and couldn't fit into the costus provided by the crew, it would be terribly embarrassing. If her face beca puffy and didn't look good on cara, that would be even more troubleso.
In this industry, no female artist disregarded how they looked on cara.
Even when playing less attractive roles, they never truly made themselves too ugly. Even a scar could be crafted in various ways to ensure the audience didn't find it unappealing.
Jing Ge looked at the two plates of food he had chosen: cucumber, winter lon, pumpkin, lotus root slices, bamboo shoots, konjac, and a few spinach leaves. Of course, he had also taken so at – a piece of chicken breast, a slice of fish, and two thin slices of fatty beef.
In contrast, Shen Wan's table was covered with plates of various ats. The only non-at item was a plate with three or four cucumber slices, which stood out conspicuously among the sea of at dishes.
When Jing Ge saw Fu Qingman bringing over plate after plate of at as well, he felt distinctly uncomfortable.
Fu Qingman had also taken a plate of vegetables, but it was just lettuce, apparently ant to be eaten with the grilled at.
"Yes, we still have two months of filming," Shen Wan responded to Jing Ge, putting another piece of grilled at in her mouth, chewing and swallowing before continuing, "So I must eat a lot while I have the chance. It's fine for now since we're not filming on location. Once we move to actual locations, it won't be so convenient to eat barbecue."
Jing Ge's mouth twitched montarily. "You should at least take so vegetables. Aren't you afraid of gaining weight eating like this?"
Shen Wan pinched her pointed chin and raised her slender, fair arm. "Do I look fat?"
"I've been eating like this every day for the past week, sotis even having a late-night snack, and I haven't gained weight," Shen Wan said proudly. "Since I don't gain weight, I can eat to my heart's content!"
Jing Ge felt a twinge of regret. The winter lon slice in his mouth seed tasteless, as if sothing was missing.
Both Shen Wan and Fu Qingman were eating at in large mouthfuls. Why was he eating vegetables?
If his willpower weren't so strong, he might have been led astray and started feasting heartily.
No, he absolutely couldn't give in. This Shen Wan must have a grudge against him. She knew very well that they needed to watch their diet during filming, yet she deliberately brought him to eat barbecue. He had thought she genuinely felt bad and wanted to treat him to a al, but now he was beginning to understand. She brought him here to watch them eat while he could only salivate, unable to indulge. She was trying every possible way to tornt him.
Jing Ge maintained a smile on his face as he ate his vegetables politely. As for the few pieces of at he had taken, he ate them extrely slowly. He was afraid that if he finished them, he wouldn't be able to resist taking more.
Shen Wan paid no attention to this, eating plate after plate, completely unconcerned about gaining weight. Watching her eat with her mouth full of oil, Jing Ge couldn't help but silently curse, hoping she would be fat as a pig tomorrow!
As for Fu Qingman, Jing Ge couldn't understand how she had gotten mixed up with Shen Wan and dared to eat like this. He felt puzzled.
But seeing Fu Qingman savoring the delicious food at a leisurely pace, he felt incredibly envious.
"Actress Fu, try this. It should be good," Shen Wan used tongs to place a well-grilled piece of at into Fu Qingman's sauce dish. "The at is very tender. It's really delicious, give it a try."
Fu Qingman picked up the at and put it in her mouth, nodding. "It is indeed delicious. Is this a new dish at this restaurant?"
"I think so. It wasn't here when we ca two days ago."
Jing Ge silently ate his vegetables, occasionally taking a piece of at, looking sowhat reluctant. He watched as the plates beside Shen Wan piled high before being taken away by the waiter, only for her to bring over several plates of seafood, asking Fu Qingman if she wanted so.
He thought Fu Qingman would say, "No need, I've had enough." After all, she had already eaten quite a lot. Fu Qingman was an award-winning actress; she would surely manage her figure well and not eat without restraint like Shen Wan, a small-ti artist.
Unexpectedly, Fu Qingman wiped the corner of her mouth with a napkin. Hearing Shen Wan ntion seafood, her eyes lit up instantly. "I do! Could you bring so scallops and clams?"
Jing Ge's chopsticks trembled, and he looked at Fu Qingman in disbelief. When Shen Wan left the table, he quietly asked, "Fu Qingman, aren't you afraid of gaining weight eating so much? I rember when we worked together before, your al was just a few broccoli florets and an egg, with dinner being just an apple."
When did Fu Qingman beco so indulgent?
Fu Qingman smiled gently, blinking her eyes. "Because I don't want to deprive myself anymore. I've missed out on too many delicious foods in the past. Now I must make up for it."
"Be careful not to beco as round as a ball. Then no director will want you for their films," Jing Ge said, sowhat jealously. Who doesn't like good food?
This al was thoroughly enjoyable for Fu Qingman and Shen Wan, but for Jing Ge, it was pure torture.
When it was ti to leave, he discovered that Shen Wan had even gotten ice cream for herself and Fu Qingman, casually asking if he wanted so too.
Jing Ge, of course, had to refuse such temptation. He wanted to leave these two imdiately, fearing he might not be able to resist if Shen Wan asked him again.
"Today's ice cream is really good," Shen Wan said, linking arms with Fu Qingman as they walked to the parking lot. Jing Ge watched them get into their car, bid them farewell, and hurriedly drove away.
He had eaten quite a bit today. After resting for a while, he'd need to go to the gym to burn off so calories.
For several days in a row, Fu Qingman ca to eat with Shen Wan.
Each ti, Shen Wan would ask Jing Ge if he wanted to join. For the first few tis, he went along. He wanted to see if they really ate like this every day or if Shen Wan was deliberately tornting him. Finally, he realized that this kind of eating had beco quite normal for Shen Wan and Fu Qingman.
These two won didn't behave like typical female artists at all. Since entering the industry, he had never seen female artists eat so extravagantly.
Later, as Jing Ge watched the two won consu various high-calorie foods day after day without seeming to gain weight, he felt both jealous and envious. Finally unable to endure it any longer, he gritted his teeth and refused Shen Wan's invitations. Although he was still sowhat interested in Shen Wan, now when he thought of her, all he could picture was her voracious eating, which made him shudder uncontrollably.
No matter how interesting a woman might be, if she constantly ate high-calorie foods in front of him while claiming not to gain weight, he simply couldn't tolerate it.
It wasn't until half a month later, when Fu Qingman beca busy again, that she stopped coming to see Shen Wan.
Even though she no longer ca, everyone in the crew understood that Fu Qingman and Shen Wan had a good relationship.
With Fu Qingman gone, Shen Wan didn't settle down on set. When not filming, she would sit on the sidelines watching, while munching on various snacks.
Seeing that she didn't gain weight no matter what she ate, Jin Peiquan didn't interfere.
As for Shen Wan's agent, Su Jiali, she wasn't present on set. She had co once on the first day of filming and then assigned a young assistant to follow Shen Wan. She only inquired about matters when necessary.
She managed quite a few artists, including several with decent fa whom she had high hopes for. Since things were going smoothly with Shen Wan, she naturally didn't need to worry too much and focused on overseeing those promising artists she favored.
Therefore, Su Jiali was unaware that Shen Wan had beco a major investor and was eating extravagantly on set. The young assistant she had assigned to Shen Wan had long been won over and now followed Shen Wan's lead.
"Little Zhuzhu, go buy an ice cream cone, and pick whatever flavor you like for yourself."
The female assistant, nicknad Little Zhuzhu, nodded quickly, not minding at all being called Little Zhuzhu by Shen Wan every day. As she was about to leave, Shen Wan stopped her. "Wait, let ask if anyone else wants so."
"Who wants an ice cream cone?"
The crowd fell silent: "..."
Jing Ge: "..." Eating ice cream easily leads to weight gain, really.
"Bring one for ," Director Jin Peiquan spoke up. "I want strawberry flavor." After saying this, Jin Peiquan felt the strange gazes of the male and female artists in the crew upon him.
"Then let's buy so iced water for everyone," Shen Wan waved her small hand. "Ask a few staff mbers to go with you, and they can pick whatever they want to eat. As for Actor Jing and the others who are afraid of gaining weight, just bring them two bottles of iced water each."
Jing Ge: Drinking iced water while watching others eat ice cream? How miserable.
Female artists: They wanted ice cream too.
Mu Linshi sat in a corner, watching Shen Wan's popularity, especially how the director favored her, feeling incredibly jealous. But there was nothing she could do. Now Shen Wan was the mascot of the entire crew and so close with the award-winning actress Fu. Everyone was speculating whether she had soone backing her, so Mu Linshi didn't dare act rashly.
Seeing Jing Ge's displeased expression, she unconsciously moved closer to him. Although she had been forced to follow a certain boss, her admiration for Jing Ge hadn't diminished.
Jing Ge noticed Mu Linshi and rembered certain past events, naturally leaving him with a poor impression of her.
"Shen Wan is really nice. It's so hot, and she knows everyone is working hard, so she specially asked soone to buy iced water. Actually, in this weather, drinking iced water is better. Eating ice cream not only makes you gain weight but also makes you thirsty." She didn't dare say anything negative about Shen Wan in this situation. She wasn't a fool; saying nice things was always safe.
Jing Ge glanced at her. "So do you prefer ice cream or iced water?"
"Iced water, of course," Mu Linshi said, against her true feelings.
Jing Ge watched the staff mbers return with iced water and ice cream cones. He said quietly, "But I want ice cream. How could iced water possibly taste better than ice cream?"
Mu Linshi: ???
"Eating one occasionally shouldn't be a problem."
Jing Ge had already walked over and unceremoniously took an ice cream cone, unwrapping and eating it. The sweet and cold flavor in his mouth was indeed refreshing to the extre.
Mu Linshi walked over, and Jing Ge casually handed her a bottle of iced water. "Here's the iced water you like."
Then Mu Linshi discovered that many people had taken ice cream cones, quietly comforting themselves: "Eating one ice cream cone occasionally won't make you fat. Having just this one this week shouldn't be a problem."
With everyone eating ice cream, Mu Linshi holding her iced water felt particularly wronged, yet she couldn't go and take an ice cream cone.
Looking at Shen Wan again, it was really too much – she actually had one in each hand, one blueberry flavor and one strawberry. How excessive!
During this filming period, the people in the crew experienced a mix of pain and joy.
Shen Wan's presence brought a lot of fun to everyone. She was very willing to share delicious food with everyone, and although they tried hard to control themselves, they occasionally couldn't resist tasting. But once they tasted, the cravings in their stomachs were truly awakened.
When Shen Wan's scenes were finished and she wrapped up filming, everyone felt both reluctant to see her go and relieved. This little princess was finally leaving. If she had stayed any longer, they might have gained ten pounds, which would have been terrible.
Because Shen Wan had been working hard recently, and Su Jiali was quite busy, she was given a week's vacation for the ti being.
Taking advantage of this break, Shen Wan naturally wanted to go find her future wife, Fu Qingman.
Of course, she couldn't visit her future wife empty-handed. Thinking about how Fu Qingman was currently filming in a desert location, she probably hadn't eaten well in a long ti. So, she decided to bring lots of good food.
Shen Wan very generously rented a large truck to carry her to Fu Qingman.
As for the truck, it was filled with frozen ats and fruits, along with cooking utensils – everything one could need.
188, observing Shen Wan's massive shopping spree, felt a bit envious of Fu Qingman. Only this woman could make his Wan Wan spend money as if it weren't money at all.
Now he fully understood this feeling. Since getting a partner, he too wanted to give his core programming to his significant other.
The conditions in the desert were extrely harsh. Even though Fu Qingman was treated well, after staying there for so long, her skin had darkened considerably, though this didn't affect her beauty.
Shen Wan's arrival was a pleasant surprise for Fu Qingman.
"Why are you here?"
"I've never really seen a desert before in my life. My scenes have just finished filming, and I don't have anything to do for now, so I thought I'd co and take a look around the desert."
Fu Qingman looked at the large truck. "Did you hitch a ride?"
"No, I rented this truck."
Fu Qingman was curious. "Why rent such a big truck?"
"Because I'm carrying a lot of things."
Shen Wan took Fu Qingman's hand. "Since I've run into you, let's make sothing to eat."
Fu Qingman had a premonition. Could the truck be full of food?
When Shen Wan took out a large waterlon, Fu Qingman's eyes showed an "as expected" look. She couldn't help but climb up to take a look. The cold air that hit her face and the dazzling array of food inside the truck left her stunned.
Now she fully believed that Shen Wan was truly wealthy. Who else would co to such a place for tourism, rent a large truck, and bring so much food with refrigeration capabilities?
Shen Wan: Only her, of course. After all, she was visiting her future wife. She couldn't co empty-handed, right?
