Chapter 1759: Knowing Boundaries

As Nan Jiaojiao climbed the steps, Xiao Yu headed into the RV, with one end of the clothes rack still hanging on the stairs. Nan Jiaojiao found a support point, lifted it with one hand, and walked steadily without a wobble.

Xiao Yu was dumbfounded and laughed, “You’re awesome.”

“Did you finish your makeup?” Nan Jiaojiao asked.

Xiao Yu lightly touched his face, “I put it on back at the hotel, not sure if it’s smudged. The makeup artist will come by later. Should I put on the costume first?”

“Okay.”

Nan Jiaojiao told him how to wear the costume from inside to outside, and Xiao Yu listened carefully. He went to the bedroom to change, not needing her help.

Nan Jiaojiao waited outside, not moving around or drinking water. Just as she took out her phone to play for a bit, Brother Hui returned.

“Hey, young lady, you’re here early. Have you had lunch?”

Nan Jiaojiao nodded, “Yes, I have.”

“Then you must’ve eaten early,” Brother Hui said, raising the lunch boxes in his hands, showing her one in particular. “This is mine, just got it from the small kitchen over there. It has some stewed pork, and I made some stir-fried green peppers. Want to try? I got plenty of rice.”

Nan Jiaojiao couldn’t handle the sudden enthusiasm from someone she wasn’t very familiar with. She waved her hand, “No, really. You enjoy your meal.”

Brother Hui gave her a look and lightly kicked a beanbag sofa on the ground, “Don’t be so formal, once we know each other, we’re friends. I really like you, young lady—you’re sensible and polite. I only thought of you for this special meal.”

What nonsense.

It’s surely just an excuse for his big appetite.

Nan Jiaojiao had heard that every time Brother Hui fetched food for Xiao Yu, he’d take a double portion for himself. It’s fine if he can eat, but he just loves greasy, heavy dishes and insists on eating them in front of Xiao Yu.

Nan Jiaojiao smiled but said nothing since the conversation couldn’t go any further.

Soon, Xiao Yu came out, spreading his hands in front of Nan Jiaojiao and spinning around twice, pulling up his sleeves to show the inner clothes, “How is it, did I get the order right?”

Nan Jiaojiao said, “Yes, you did.”

“Great, I’ll go take it off first, don’t want to get it dirty.”

Actually, he could have kept it on; actors’ clothes usually have two or three identical sets prepared.

But Xiao Yu really has a good temper and he treats the people around him well, always trying to avoid causing trouble for others whenever possible.

“By the way,” Xiao Yu turned around, “Once I’m done filming those two scenes later, we’re done for the day. I’ll try to finish in two takes if possible. There’s rain expected tonight, so Director Chen didn’t schedule anything else. We can finish up early today.”

Nan Jiaojiao looked him straight in the eye, “Thank you.”

“No need to thank me.”

He chuckled twice, returned to the bedroom to change clothes.

When he came out again, Nan Jiaojiao was already gone, and Xiao Yu wasn’t surprised. He hung the clothes on the rack and pushed it a little farther away.

“What are you looking at?”

Brother Hui waved a hand in front of his eyes, “Didn’t manage to flirt, did you?”

Xiao Yu was caught off guard. A piece of cauliflower almost slipped down his throat. He grabbed a couple of napkins and pressed them to his mouth, coughing until his face turned red.

Brother Hui nearly dropped his chopsticks, rushing over, while Xiao Yu calmed himself and pushed Brother Hui back, drinking some water to regain composure.

“What flirting? Watch what you’re saying.”

Brother Hui gave him a sidelong glance, “Just now, you looked like a peacock showing off. I had no idea what you were parading around for. The way that young lady looked at you was as if she’d taken a vow of silence. You flaunt all your charm, but in her eyes, you’re nothing more than a big cabbage.”

Xiao Yu laughed angrily, “You don’t need to give me this lecture every time an opposite gender gets near me. Aren’t you sick of saying it after all these years?”
