Chapter 449: Chapter 449: Competing with a Pig for Cabbages!
"Xiao Ma, you go ahead and prepare for the new production team. I’ll let you know about the screenwriter and the leading actress." Zuzi said decisively.
Listening from the side, Xi Langyue was really impressed with this sister he was meeting for the first time. How could he not like someone who handled everything with such calmness?
"Zuzi, count me in for the play with Director Ma. I’m willing to play the male lead!"
"Hmm, Director Ma, what do you think?"
"Very good, Lang Yue was someone I had my eye on from the start. He has a rugged, cool image with solid dance skills and is hardworking. For many of the song and dance sequences and battle scenes in the play, he doesn’t even need a stunt double; he can go straight on. He’s perfect for the role of Fu Xi."
"Thank you, Director, for the acknowledgment. Thank you, sister, for the support!"
Xi Langyue was expressing his gratitude when a soft voice came to his ear:
"As the investor and producer, I haven’t even nodded yet. Why are you in such a hurry to thank everyone?" Bao Gucheng said dismissively, casting a cold glance at Xi Langyue.
Out of the frying pan into the fire.
Inadvertently, this sister-protective guy found another excuse to get close to his little woman.
He couldn’t trust this guy, wondering if he could maintain the proper boundary between brother and sister!
Xi Langyue: "For this play, my sister has the final say. If she wants me to act, I’ll act. What, are you questioning my sister’s decision?"
The male version of Little Cannon sure has some firepower.
Bao Gucheng, unfazed, responded calmly: "Once she sees the actor I recommend, she won’t choose you."
The entertainment industry is full of naive young actors too scared to hold hand with actresses, or who like guys and absolutely won’t touch girls. Grandpa thinks you can’t handle them?
Xi Langyue was practically beside himself with anger at this unreasonable man.
The only fortress in his cannonball career he couldn’t breach has appeared.
Looks like the two were about to clash for the umpteenth time.
Zuzi gently looped her hand around Bao Gucheng’s arm: "Xiao Chenger, didn’t you say you were going to take me to see the campus, huh? The male dormitory you used to live in?"
Bao Gucheng pursed his lips, finally shifting his attention away from Xi Langyue: "Okay."
Xi Langyue: "Zuzi, I want to go too!"
Bao Gucheng’s gaze instantly shot out, piercing enough to kill!
Even Xi Rubao, standing behind them, could feel the aftershock of the attack, shivering involuntarily.
Oh my, big brother, if you keep digging your own grave, I can’t save you.
Zuzi smiled slightly: "Xiao Yueyue, don’t go. You should take the time to discuss the costume design and schedule with the director."
Xi Langyue felt a bit disappointed upon hearing he wasn’t allowed to go, but quickly realized it was his sister speaking for him, subtly agreeing to let him be in the new play.
No doubt about it, she’s his real sister!
No matter how the outside pigs might push against her, the cabbage is still his own!
Xi Langyue happily agreed: "Okay, I’ll follow my sister’s arrangements."
Bao Gucheng, being pulled by the arm along with Zuzi: "..."
Did the little woman just use her charms to trap him?
Male dormitory of the Astronomy College.
Zuzi curiously looked at the iron frame bunk bed: "Xiao Chenger, were you on top or bottom?"
Bao Gucheng was still a bit upset about Xi Langyue joining the new production crew: "I took both."
"Huh? You occupied both the top and bottom bunk by yourself, brother-in-law? How extravagant!" Xi Rubao exclaimed goofily.
Zuzi touched the schedule carved into the wall at the head of the bed: "Up at five for training, running five kilometers with weights—Xiao Chenger, you’re amazing. You must have been in great shape when you were in school?"
Bao Gucheng: "A million times stronger than Xi Langyue, that bean sprout."
Zuzi chuckled softly, then turned her bright face to seriously look at Bao Gucheng: "Xiao Chenger, you don’t like Xiao Yueyue?"
