Chapter 71 - Small Pickle (2/2)

She sat inside the nanny car with her eyes closed. She asked Ashan to take off her makeup for her. In order to adjust her skin color, Ashan applied a thick layer of foundation to all her exposed skin. It was many times more difficult to remove makeup than other actresses. Fortunately, Xiao Xia was there to help him, which greatly saved time.

When her arms and legs were wiped clean, Su Jishi finally returned to her original appearance, and by this time, the sky was getting brighter.

Even if she stayed up all night finishing a shoot, her spirit was still in a state of inexplicable excitement. Everyone else around her had been sleepy and yawning, while Su Jishi remained energetic and tireless.

Out of a sudden, Su Jishi’s cell phone gave a “ding” sound and a WeChat message jumped onto the screen.

Looking at the time, it’s just a little over 4:30. Who is this night owl that suddenly messaged her?

Unlocking her phone, Su Jishi was met with unexpected realization—the person who just sent a WeChat message was Mu Xiulun, whom she hadn’t seen for a long time!

Her sister’s former financial backer was really strange. He went to visit her on the first day of filming and sent her WeChat after the filming was finished. It was like he watching her all the time.

Su Jishi had long wanted to draw a clear line with him, but the other party always found opportunities to appear in front of her again and again. How weird!

Su Jishi opened her WeChat app. In the empty chat dialog box, only a strange emoticon could be seen.

Mr. Mu : [Hammer]

Su Jishi: ?

Su Jishi really couldn’t understand what he meant and had to resort to outside help. She looked at the seat beside her, where Xiao Xia was reclining with her head propped up.

Poking her fingers at her assistant’s side, the latter opened her bloodshot eyes. “Xiao Xia, what does it mean if someone suddenly sends you a hammer emoticon?”

Xiao Xia replied in a daze: “Hammer? In our place, hammers are used in cursing, a taboo even! ” She was a native of Chongqing**, and had been floating in Beijing for several years.

“It means long and erect p*nis!”

**T/N : Chongqing is a provincial municipality in China.

Su Jishi: “….”

“For example, if one male wants to provoke another, he would say, ‘You don’t have a hammer but only a small pickle!’ ”
