Chapter 23 – I Don’t Deserve It
The next day Sheng Qiao woke up earlier than usual.
She didn’t sleep well. She had nightmares all night. In her dreams, she was chased by the female ghost to jump off a cliff. She used to have nightmares. Later, she put a signed photo of Hup Xi under the pillow. Like an amulet, she didn’t know whether it was psychological or really useful. She was rarely haunted by nightmares. Even when she was scared to wake up, she could reach under the pillow to touch the photo and continue to sleep peacefully.
When washing, she thought secretly. She had to find a way to get another picture of Huo Xi’s signature.
When she went downstairs, Shi Xuan, dressed in sportswear, just came in from the door.
Many singers have the habit of running in the morning, exercising their vital capacity and practicing their voice. Shi Xuan is still carrying a food bag. She is a little surprised to see Sheng Qiao come down so early, and then she looks indifferent again.
“I bought you breakfast.”
“Thank you.”
You don’t have to cook it by yourself. Sheng Qiao just eats it. Shi Xuan changed her clothes and came down to have a look. Sheng Qiao was so happy with her food that she snorted coldly.
She went so far as to buy breakfast, but she didn’t expect that Sheng Qiao enjoyed it at first.
Sheng Qiao said, “have you eaten?”
“Yes.”
She sat down opposite Sheng Qiao. Outside the window, the sky was wide open, and the morning light fell obliquely on the plain face of Sheng Qiao. There was no flaw in that face. It was delicate and white. Her hair was tied with a loose ball. It was so beautiful and enviable.
Over the years, there are too many black materials for Sheng Qiao, and people pay too much attention to her character and gossip, but ignore her face.
But what about her good looks? As her agent said, she has nothing but this face. In this way, the face in front of her is not so dazzling.
Shi Xuan has a little balance in mind.
She said with a fake smile: “Xiao and they all pay attention to body management. You are the only female artist I have ever seen with a normal diet.”
Sheng Qiao bit the steamed dumplings and said, “I will lose weight if I have work need.”
After all, taking a variety show doesn’t need to keep fit.
Shi Xuan was stunned and asked with a smile, “do you have any work plan next?”
Don’t you just leave the circle after termination?
Sheng Qiao hooks up the corner of her lips and looks up at her after eating the steamed dumplings in the bowl: “Shi Xuan, how many days do you want to stay here?”
Shi Xuan was stunned: “I will leave in the afternoon.”
“What a pity.” She wiped the corner of her mouth: “there’s no time to be friends with you.”
Shi Xuan’s mind is so sensitive that she can hear the meaning of her words in a moment. There’s no time to be friends so they are not friends now. If she is not a friend, she is not qualified to inquire about her private affairs.
The fake smile on Shi Xuan’s face is a little tense. Sheng Qiao looks at her with a smile and is calm.
After a while, Shi Xuan got up and said, “I’ll get them up.”
Sheng Qiao picks up the lower lip corner, rubs the tissue into a ball, raises her hand to a parabola, and throws it into the garbage can.
Everyone kept getting up. Yesterday’s task of taking a paper crane will be timed from today. After breakfast, several people began to think about the task plan with a paper crane in their hands.
The director said to Sheng Qiao, “you and Le Xiao have changed tasks. The time is today and tomorrow. The working time starts at 9:00 today, from 9:00 to 5:00.”
When Sheng Qiao saw the time, it was 8:40, so she hurriedly went upstairs to change clothes. Le Xiao still felt sorry. She followed her, clubbing at the door and said, “Qiao Qiao, if there is something you can’t, you must call me. I’ll bring them to help you.”
“OK.” She patted some sunscreen on her face and explained: “the hot pot material last night was frozen in the refrigerator. Add some water and cook it. It’s just that there is no vegetable. The meat is in the freezer. Now you can take out to defrost. The vegetable is in the lattice under the cabinet.”
Pack up and look back at Le Xiao. She looks at her and pinches her in the face: “OK, I’m not going to the battlefield. You’re good at home.”
The barrage said:
[I feel like the backbone of the family will be gone as soon as Sheng Qiao leaves.]
[It doesn’t need to be blown by the wind. It’s gone in two steps.]
[Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha what are you doing?]
When she went downstairs, she told everyone a few words.
“Little Han, it’s a nice day today. Remember to move out and bask in the sun for a few pots of flowers that I moved in yesterday.”
“Wei, take out the fruit and put it in the water to thaw the ice before eating.”
“Zhong Shen, don’t bully Le Xiao!”
Finally, she looked at Huo Xi and said softly, “I’m leaving.” Turning around and about to leave, Huo Xi called out to her, “wait.”
Sheng Qiao looks back. He approaches and hands over a gray heat preservation cup: “take this with you. The construction site should be inconvenient.”
Sheng Qiao was moved to tears. Wuwuwu, the warmth and care from idol, who is this beautiful and kind little prince?
With a moving face, she took over the water glass and said hello to Shi Xuan. She wished her a pleasant journey and went out to work.
The director sent two follow-up PD and an assistant to follow Sheng Qiao to the construction site. The security guard saluted at the door far away. The person in charge of the construction site stood by and recognized Sheng Qiao.
“Oh, I know you. You are the one who plays Xiao Nuo in Flourishing Changan…”
“Hello, my name is Sheng Qiao,” she said politely.
The person in charge is Zhou, and Sheng Qiao calls him brother Zhou. Brother Zhou enthusiastically led her to go inside. For the first time, she was a star on the construction site. She was also a beautiful female star. All the workers left their jobs and came to watch. Brother Zhou shouted: “what are you looking at! Go back to work! “
Sheng Qiao put on her helmet and smiled around. The shy workers were scattered by her smile.
The task is really moving bricks.
The red bricks unloaded by the truck are piled on the open space. The workers should push them to the project building through the small cart, and then lift them to the third floor through the gantry crane.
Brother Zhou led Sheng Qiao. There was a lot of noise, dust and concrete mixer around. The netizens watching the live broadcast were shocked by the real environment. Even those who scolded Sheng Qiao for her show yesterday shut up.
Brother Zhou told the person in charge of this piece and left. Sheng Qiao put on gloves, took over the cart sent by the person in charge, and began to move bricks on it. After every layer was placed, the cart was pushed to the opposite engineering building.
The ground of the construction site is potholed. Sheng Qiao sprained her foot after not two steps. Fortunately, it’s not serious. She has adapted to it several times, reduced the number of bricks, and controlled it within her physical strength. It’s more relaxed at last.
