Chapter 88

"Don't talk nonsense, little kids don't know anything."

Zhu Xiaojing, who was also sitting in the back row, told the kids, especially Liuliu, to be careful with their words.

She had brought Liuliu to visit the set today.

Shen Liuliu glanced at her mother and didn't say anything more. She had her mother, hehehe, how happy she was.

She and Xiaobai were concerned about Wang Zihan, who had gotten into the car.

Little Liuliu secretly touched her beautiful performance costume, more concerned about that.

"Get in the car, let's go," Zhang Tan called Zhou Li to get in the car, "We'll have to squeeze a bit."

"No problem."

Everyone got in the car and rushed to the nearest hospital.

Zhu Xiaojing stayed in the car, watching over Xiaobai and Liuliu, while Zhang Tan and Zhou Li took Wang Zihan to register and see the doctor.

The doctor quickly examined her and found no internal injuries; the little girl was very healthy, just scared at the time.

Zhou Li paid the medical fees and, as she was about to leave, noticed that Zhang Tan hadn't asked her for money, so she said, "I'll be going then."

Zhang Tan: "Be more focused when driving in the future."

Zhou Li nodded, even though she wasn't the one driving, it was a lesson for her.

She said to Wang Zihan, "Little girl, which production are you filming? We'll come to see you."

Wang Zihan looked at Zhang Tan.

Zhang Tan said, "No need to come, she's not injured."

"But we should," Zhou Li said.

Zhang Tan then said, "It's 'Little Actors.'"

Zhou Li nodded, indicating she understood, and left after saying goodbye. Just as she was about to take a taxi, a black car parked by the roadside rolled down its window, and someone waved at her.

What the heck?

How did that little fool Zhu come here?

She walked over, "Why are you here? Did you come to pick me up?"

The rear window of the car also rolled down, revealing Su Lan's beautiful face: "Sis Li~"

"You, why are you here too? Didn't I tell you to go back first?"

Zhou Li looked at Yang Zhu, her eyes stern.

Su Lan said, "It's not Zhu's fault, I wanted to come. Sis Li, is the little girl hurt?"

Zhou Li got in the car, "No, she's fine, just scared."

"That's good." Su Lan sighed in relief.

Yang Zhu weakly said, "Sorry, it's all my fault."

Zhou Li scolded, "You were already driving slowly, I thought it would be safe, but you need to focus. How could something like this happen?"

Yang Zhu wanted to shrink into the footwell, and said softly, "I'll remember, I won't chat while driving in the future."

Zhou Li: "Let's go."

Yang Zhu didn't drive, and Su Lan said, "Wait, Sis Li, what was that person's name?"

"Who?" Zhou Li asked, puzzled, "The little girl? Or the young man?"

"The young man."

Zhou Li: "He said his name is Zhang Tan."

Zhang Tan? Sure enough, it's Zhang Tan.

Just then, Zhang Tan came out of the hospital, accompanied by the little girl Wang Zihan.

"Su, do you know him?" Zhou Li asked, seeing Su Lan's expression change.

Su Lan softly nodded, watching Zhang Tan get into the car and leave.

"Let's go."

Zhou Li was still thinking about Su Lan's nod, surprised that Su Lan knew the man.

"Who is he?" she asked.

Su Lan hesitated for a couple of seconds before saying, "My college classmate."

Zhou Li suspiciously stared at her face, trying to read something, but was disappointed. Actors were not to be underestimated.

"How coincidental, did you want to go up and say hello just now?"

Su Lan: "We haven't seen each other in a long time. Meeting in such a situation, we should have greeted each other, but it wasn't convenient. Oh, by the way, the little girl was wearing a performance costume, so she must be from one of the productions in the film city."

Zhou Li said she was from the "Little Actors" production.

Su Lan didn't know this production, and neither did Zhou Li.

Yang Zhu, who was driving, said proudly, "I know, it's the production next to ours, all the actors are kids."

"All kids?" Su Lan asked.

Yang Zhu babbled, surprising and intriguing Su Lan and Zhou Li. They had never heard of a production with only child actors. How could they film?

"Is Zhang Tan part of that production too?" Su Lan asked.

Zhou Li didn't know, she hadn't asked.

Back at the production, while Su Lan was getting makeup, Yang Zhu came back after inquiring and told her that Zhang Tan was the screenwriter of the neighboring production.

Su Lan looked at herself in the makeup mirror, surprised.

"Really?"

"Really, I asked. They only have one screenwriter, and it's Zhang Tan."

Su Lan softly nodded.

Zhang Tan studied directing but became a screenwriter, which was a bit strange.

But it wasn't a big deal. She studied directing and became an actress.

Two months ago, she heard that Zhang Tan was fired from a production in Beiping and then left Beiping. No one knew where he went.

Now, learning that he was in Pujian and doing well, she felt a bit relieved.

She impulsively went to the hospital with them today, originally wanting to greet Zhang Tan, but ultimately held back.

That's it.

---

Zhang Tan brought the kids to the production, handed Wang Zihan over to her agent, and took Xiaobai and Liuliu on a tour.

The two kids were very excited, chattering away.

Zhang Tan introduced, "That's where they film. I'll take you over to see, but you can't talk."

Liuliu raised her little head and asked, "Can we chatter, Boss Zhang?"

Her mother, Zhu Xiaojing, wanted to cover her face.

Zhang Tan laughed, "No chattering either. You can't make any noise, okay?"

After a while, he didn't hear a response from the kids and looked down. Two little faces were looking at him, their little hands covering their mouths.

They nodded but didn't speak.

Thoroughly obedient.

Zhang Tan was satisfied and took them over.

Xiaobai was very excited. As they approached the filming area, which was a pavilion by the lotus pond, Zhang Tan noticed she was walking with her arms and legs moving in the same direction.

She didn't realize it.

Zhang Tan didn't remind her, maybe she was really excited. He was also very excited the first time he watched filming.

The four of them stood by the lotus pond, watching from a distance, not getting too close.

In the pavilion in the middle of the lotus pond, they were filming a scene of Grandma Liu visiting the Grand View Garden.

"Teacher Zhang, should we go over?" A crew member maintaining the scene asked Zhang Tan.

"No, it would disturb their filming."

He looked down at Xiaobai and Liuliu, who were standing on tiptoe, eagerly looking at the pavilion.

The crew member also curiously looked at them and asked, "Are these new child actors? They're so small."

Zhang Tan: "They're my sister."

"Ah? Oh, so cute."

Shen Liuliu tugged at her mother's pants, wanting to climb up.

Zhu Xiaojing picked her up, so she could see better.

Xiaobai quickly glanced at Liuliu, a flash of envy on her face.

The lotus leaves were tall and elegant, blocking her view.

She continued to stand on tiptoe, suddenly feeling herself growing taller, huh?

Turns out, she was picked up by Boss Zhang.

She instinctively tried to wriggle free but stopped the next second.

This is Boss Zhang, not a bad person.

"Can you see clearly now?" Zhang Tan asked.

Xiaobai nodded and said softly, "Boss Zhang, I don't know how to thank you."

"We're family," Zhang Tan said.

Xiaobai's mouth moved but no sound came out. She turned her head, giving him the back of her head, a bit proud.

We're family?

He spent the morning with the kids, satisfying their curiosity, and they had lunch with the production.

Zhang Tongshun came over with a box of rice and smiled, "I saw two new kids this morning, but only now have time to say hello. What are your names?"

Xiaobai stood up from her little stool and said her name was Xiaobai.

Liuliu, next to Zhu Xiaojing, recognized the director and happily said, "I'm the strong little pomegranate."

You also have a nickname, Little Pomegranate.

"Sit down, don't stand."

Zhang Tongshun brought a chair and sat down with everyone.

The coordinator brought red cherry tomatoes, watermelon, and steamed crabs, and sat down as well.

Zhang Tongshun chatted with Xiaobai and Liuliu for a while, then suddenly asked Zhang Tan, "The two kids are not shy, do you want them to make a cameo in the afternoon?"

He had heard from Zhang Tan the day before that he would bring two kids to watch the filming.

The two kids were confused, not understanding what he meant by "make a cameo."

Zhang Tongshun said, "It means acting, kids, acting."

The two kids were still confused, not understanding what acting meant.

Zhang Tan said, "It's like playing house, playing house, right?"

He looked at Xiaobai, who blinked her big eyes, full of light.

He then looked at Zhu Xiaojing, who said, "No, Liuliu has never acted before, it would delay you."

"Mom, I've been a dad before~ I'm very good~" Shen Liuliu said proudly, indeed, she had played the dad in playing house.

Xiaobai played the mom.

Zhang Tongshun said, "It's fine, just a small maid, standing far away, no speaking, no actions."

Shen Liuliu said in a baby voice, "You can treat me like a wooden person~"

Xiaobai and Liuliu were about the same size, perfect for a pair of little maids.

With Zhang Tan and Zhang Tongshun's persuasion and the kids' excitement, Zhu Xiaojing quickly agreed.

Actually, she wasn't against it; she was mainly worried about delaying the production. Since the director and screenwriter said it was fine, she had no problem.

Xiaobai and Liuliu were excitedly chattering as they were led to get makeup and costumes.

Soon, two little maids with small buns came out, giggling and swaying, not used to seeing each other like this.

They wore identical jade-colored, red, and green satin jackets, looking like little dolls from a painting.

The staff taught them how to walk gracefully, but after a while, Xiaobai was still walking with her arms and legs moving in the same direction, and Liuliu was still walking like a turtle.

The staff gave up, since they weren't allowed to speak or move, they would just be props.

Props are online~

They were then surrounded by a group of child actors.

The child actors were only small compared to the staff. Compared to Xiaobai and Liuliu, they were much taller.

They were the smallest and cutest.

Xiaobai's angry little voice kept coming from the crowd.

"Stop it! Stop it!! Don't touch me!!"

Liuliu was clever; she wriggled out of the crowd, shouting for help, and ran into her mother's arms.

In the afternoon, they continued filming Grandma Liu visiting the Grand View Garden. In the second half, Xiaobai and Liuliu had their scenes.

In the Grand View Garden, a crab feast was being held. Xiaobai and Liuliu stood on either side of the door, not moving.

There were three interruptions, but overall, it went smoothly.

One interruption was due to the two kids.

They smelled the crab and one sniffed loudly, the other secretly licked her lips, and were caught on camera.

After filming, Zhang Tan took a photo of them as a keepsake. The kids held up two big scissors, surrounded by pretty sisters, grinning widely.

As the sky grew dark, Zhang Tan took them back.

Shen Liuliu was taken away by Zhu Xiaojing. She wasn't going to Little Red Horse School tonight but was going home with her mother.

Her father was coming home tonight, and the family would be reunited.

"Bye~ Bye~ Liuliu, bye~"

Xiaobai leaned against the car window, waving goodbye to Liuliu, her little face full of envy.

Zhang Tan printed out a photo of the two and gave one to Xiaobai.

Xiaobai held the photo, beaming, showing it to everyone and telling them about her day.

The person she most wanted to show was her aunt.

After waiting, she finally saw her aunt come to pick her up.

The little girl skipped along behind her aunt, proudly showing her the photo.

"Wow~ Our Xiaobai is going to be a big star!"

"Of course~"

"Amazing~"

"Hehehe~ Aunt~"

"Claw?"

"Xiaobai becoming a big star means you and Uncle can rest on Sunday, right?"

...

The excited Xiaobai refused to sleep, and after a scolding from her aunt, she finally calmed down.

The moon quietly climbed up the window, and Xiaobai, with the photo on her pillow, fell asleep sweetly.
