At this mont, Xiao Dong's phone rang, and the caller ID showed it was her.
Nan Xiangwan picked up: "Hey hey?"
Xiao Dong: "......"
Nan Xiangwan: "Say sothing."
Xiao Dong: "Boss Nan, wah wah!"
Nan Xiangwan: "Why are you crying? Co drive to the airport."
She still had to go back to the drama set to shoot so finishing touches and such, and they could wrap up filming this week.
Xiao Dong: "Boss Nan, I have a headache. Why don't you ask the Heavenly King to take you instead?"
Nan Xiangwan: "The Heavenly King has beco your backup now?"
Xiao Dong: "I'll never drink again, wah wah!"
Nan Xiangwan hung up the phone and dug out her ears. What a useless fool.
She was just about to call Gu Beihuai when he already sent a ssage on WeChat.
'Gu Beihuai: Up yet? I'm getting ready to go to the airport. Heading back to the drama set for the final week of filming so we can hurry up and finish.'
'Nan Xiangwan: Are you driving?'
'Gu Beihuai: Of course.'
The two made plans to et downstairs in the parking garage. Gu Beihuai still had piles of stuff in bags as usual, while Nan Xiangwan had her hands casually tucked into her pockets looking carefree.
In the car on the way to the airport.
As he drove, Gu Beihuai reached into the backseat for a bag of snacks and handed it to her.
Nan Xiangwan accepted it, opened it up, and sat crunching away in the passenger seat.
The morning sunlight was a bit harsh, so Gu Beihuai put on sunglasses.
Nan Xiangwan glanced at him and asked, "Beibei?"
The corner of Gu Beihuai's mouth quirked up. "What's the matter, Nannan?"
Nan Xiangwan: "Will your eyes always be like this from now on?"
She didn't know what had happened to make them unable to take bright light and unable to see at night.
Gu Beihuai thought she was concerned about him, and his heart softened. "It'll be fine. I'll take good care of my eyes."
Nan Xiangwan sighed. "How tragic. Not like who can see the legs of a fly from a hundred ters away clearly, and my night vision is also unmatched."
Gu Beihuai: "......"
So you were just trying to show off? You weren't actually concerned about him?
He had misunderstood!
Nan Xiangwan continued eating with crumbs all over her face.
When they arrived at the sci-fi town at nightti, the drama crew had already gone to rest. The day and night shoots were both over.
Without Blue sky You (Chinese na), the drama crew did seem a lot quieter. No one was playing cards at night anymore.
The hallway was silent. Nan Xiangwan with an empty stomach went back to her room.
Gu Beihuai took out piles of ingredients from his luggage and started making a late-night snack for his little darling.
Half an hour later, fragrant slls were drifting all through the hallway!
Feng Kaiji groggily opened his door and sniffed, then shuffled over guided by his nose.
Gu Beihuai's door was open. They were staying at an apartnt-style hotel that had basic kitchen facilities.
When Feng Kaiji ca over, he happened to see Gu Beihuai taking food out of pots and pans.
The range hood was on sucking up fus while several dishes covered the dining table and a clay pot simred soup on the stove.
Feng Kaiji: "Heavenly King, why are you making all this stuff so late at night?"
Gu Beihuai: "Nannan hasn't eaten dinner."
Feng Kaiji: "Can't you just order takeout?"
Gu Beihuai: "Not hygienic."
Feng Kaiji: "Wait, who's Nannan?"
Nan Xiangwan popped her head out from the side. "."
Feng Kaiji: "......"
Feng Kaiji: "Can I have a bite or two?"
Gu Beihuai slamd the spatula down into a pot. "There's not enough to eat!"
Feng Kaiji: "Alright alright, I'm going, I'm going!"
He hurried away!
Wasn't he just asking for so food? Why get so mad!
Gu Beihuai closed the door and turned on the exhaust fan instead of the air conditioner even though it would let mosquitoes in. At least it wouldn't attract more people over.
Nan Xiangwan had already dished herself up a heaping bowlful of rice and was sitting at the table waiting impatiently, little feet continuously swinging.
So hungry! So so hungry!
When Gu Beihuai served up the last pot of soup, he said, "Eat up."
With permission granted, Nan Xiangwan imdiately buried her head in the big bowl of rice.
Om nom nom!
Gu Beihuai watched with amusent. "Eat slower. Are you a little pig?"
Nan Xiangwan ignored him and continued scarfing away with single-minded devotion.
She was way too hungry!
After sitting in cars and planes, then more cars and more planes, she was starving the whole journey.
An hour later, Nan Xiangwan was full and content, leaving behind a table of leftovers.
Gu Beihuai got up to wash dishes and reminded in passing, "Let your food digest a bit before sleeping."
Nan Xiangwan: "I'll go run three kiloters."
Gu Beihuai: "Don't do strenuous exercise right after eating."
Nan Xiangwan: "I'll go back to my room and stand at attention for half an hour before my run."
Gu Beihuai: "Go on then."
As Nan Xiangwan opened the door, she paused in her tracks.
Her nose twitched and Gu Beihuai also slled it. He leaned halfway out the door.
Nan Xiangwan: "Crayfish."
At this ti, many doors in the hallway were open with a lively commotion gathered outside Feng Kaiji's room.
Nan Xiangwan went over to join the fun. "Why aren't you guys sleeping so late at night?"
Ji Jirou: "Director Feng is eating crayfish in the middle of the night!"
Zhu Yun: "I woke up slling the aroma. It's so fragrant."
Nan Xiangwan: "Luckily I already ate my fill. Director Feng you're inhuman!"
At this mont Feng Kaiji opened his door with sauce all around his mouth and holding a bag of shrimp shells. Seeing the crowd of people at his door, he froze in surprise. "What are you all doing here?"
Ji Jirou: "Director Feng, are you trying to starve us all to death?"
Feng Kaiji: "I finished eating. I'm going downstairs to throw out the trash."
Zhu Yun: "That's it. I'm ordering so too."
Feng Kaiji looked back and reminded, "They've closed for the night. I barely made it within the last minute before they locked the doors to place my order."
Zhu Yun: "......"
Nan Xiangwan returned to Gu Beihuai's room where he was still washing dishes. Because they'd eaten a lot with lots of dishes, there was a huge pile needing washing.
Gu Beihuai asked in surprise, "You ca back already?"
Nan Xiangwan: "I want to eat crayfish tomorrow."
Gu Beihuai: "......"
The little darling is taking initiative to order what she wants to eat?
Crayfish aren't easy to prepare. Deveining them is extrely troubleso. And adding Nan Xiangwan's huge appetite, the sheer quantity would quickly beco terrifying.
Director Feng's little trick is lethal!
Work him to death then!
............
The next day, Nan Xiangwan did her usual early rise to get hair and make up done and entered another busy day of wrapping up filming.
Gu Beihuai went to the seafood market first thing in the morning. In the end, he didn't choose crayfish but bought several large lobsters instead.
Lobster, crayfish, they're all shrimp. Following the crayfish preparation thod for his little darling should be fine.
By the ti Nan Xiangwan finished her morning scenes, Gu Beihuai had finished preparing the lobster for her, a huge bowlful.
Everyone else was eating boxed lunches while she sat cracking open lobster shells with gusto.
Her eating made Ji Jirou and Zhu Yun drool with jealousy until they went to order takeout for themselves too!
Feng Kaiji felt speechless. Was it necessary?
What's the point of this competition!
At this mont Hua Ying walked by holding an exquisite lunchbox in hand.
She deliberately chose to sit next to Feng Kaiji and dramatically opened her lunchbox.
An enticing fragrance imdiately wafted out!
Hua Ying gracefully picked up her chopsticks and slowly started eating bite by bite.
Feng Kaiji: "......"
After a few bites, Hua Ying looked up. "So sorry Director Feng, my assistant insisted on making lunch. I had no choice since she already made it. It would be wasteful not to eat it."
Feng Kaiji: "!!!"
Good lord, here it cos!
They're all out to tornt him with hunger now!
All because he happened to eat crayfish last night!
What are they trying to do!
