Chapter 453: Chapter 453

Shen Dang said there was nothing, yet a bright smile lingered on his lips.

That smile was very meaningful.

Qiao Xi felt his smile was somewhat annoying.

What’s there to smile about? What’s so funny?

Suddenly, Qiao Xi thought of something and quickly explained, "I didn’t mean anything else, what I meant is that the crew’s dressing up is very hard work, you can’t call it careless." She murmured, "It’s not the kind you’re thinking of."

Shen Dang lowered his head, his long lashes shadowing his eyes, but the twinkling smile still clearly conveyed to her, "What kind am I thinking of then?"

Playing dumb with her again, huh?

Qiao Xi bit her lip lightly, "Don’t play dumb when you already know!"

Shen Dang feigned innocence, "I really don’t know, why don’t you tell me?"

"I can’t be bothered with you."

Qiao Xi spat at him in her heart.

"I’ll go see if there’s anything I need to do."

Before Qiao Xi turned around, she secretly glared at him, her eyes carrying a hint of warning.

Shen Dang touched his nose, suppressed his smile, and followed behind her, his hands in his pockets, strolling leisurely.

There were three barbeque grills on the grass, and the crew had already prepared the charcoal, ready for direct grilling.

Xiao Nai rolled up his sleeves, "Although I can’t cook, I’m good at this. I’ll take care of the grilling; what would you all like to eat?"

Zhu Zhu was preparing dipping sauces on the side, "Honey, grill some chicken wings."

Mansa said, "Then I’ll take the mid-joint wings."

Qin Lang also decided to grill himself, "I’ll grill too, so everyone can eat faster."

"Xixi, what would you like?"

Qiao Xi was picking out ingredients when she heard Shen Dang’s voice and casually replied, "I’m fine with anything... can you grill?"

She was highly doubtful.

Shen Dang touched her head, "It’s no problem at all."

He seemed quite confident.

Qiao Xi remembered that Shen Dang was very good at cooking, and even though he had not had the chance to show off his skills during these days except for the first day, grilling should not be difficult for him.

"Do I need to do anything?"

Shen Dang tilted his jaw up, his voice playful, "What you need to do is just sit over there and wait to eat."

Shen Dang chuckled audibly, "Go on, sit with your sisters and chat. I’ll bring the food over to you when it’s ready."

Qiao Xi encouraged him insincerely and then left Shen Dang behind.

She walked over to Su Tutu. Sheng Chao had just left his spot, heading over to grill with Shen Dang.

Su Tutu naturally leaned her head on Qiao Xi’s shoulder, "Xixi, have you guys booked your flight tickets yet?"

They came here with the crew, but everyone had different schedules upon leaving, so they wouldn’t leave with the crew.

Qiao Xi turned her head and smiled at her, "I’ve booked a ticket to the Imperial Capital for tomorrow."

Su Tutu looked up at her, "Are you going to the new movie’s press conference? Is Boss Shen going with you?"

"Shen Dang is returning to Hai City; he has work." Qiao Xi asked, "What about you?"

Su Tutu leaned her head back again, her posture lazy as if she had no bones, "I have a brand event the day after tomorrow, right in Hai City. Let’s chat with Paula when you return."

A famous director sought her out to play the leading lady in a television drama; it was a big production with significant investment, but Su Tutu had no available dates and declined.

Furthermore, Xie Baola’s script was also nearly perfected.

They were about to join the cast right after recording this show.

Qiao Xi nodded, "Okay."

It wasn’t long before Shen Dang brought over a plate loaded with barbeque, "Eat some to fill your stomach first." New ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄhapters are published on ɴoᴠel Fɪre.nᴇt

Qiao Xi looked up, "What about you?"

Her eyelashes were very dense, the light brown of her pupils under thick lashes shining brightly under the starry lights.

Shen Dang really wanted to caress her, but his hands were dirty, he held back as he knew she would get angry if he dared to touch her.

Shen Dang wasn’t particularly interested in barbeque, "I’ll go grill some more, you guys eat first."

Shen Dang walked away again.

Everyone was busy with their tasks, those who weren’t gathered together and chatted, laughter continuously ringing around the lawn.

Su Tutu picked up a skewer of hotdogs, "This was grilled by Boss Shen, I should eat more."

Qiao Xi cautioned her, "Don’t eat too much; it’s easy to get heaty and you’ll gain weight."

"Will I gain weight? Brother Chao mentioned I’ve lost weight. I don’t care, I’ll eat well tonight and diet tomorrow."

Qiao Xi was relieved that Su Tutu’s manager wasn’t here.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t be able to enjoy herself tonight.

Qiao Xi didn’t stop her from eating; she knew to maintain her figure herself.

Tonight, she would fully enjoy herself.

When the barbeque was nearly done, the ten guests sat together, drinking wine, eating barbeque, and chatting.

The atmosphere couldn’t have been lovelier.

The BBQ event ended, and it was past nine, nearly ten o’clock.

Crew members cleaned up the lawn.

The ten guests returned to the guest house.

They would part ways tomorrow, and it would be a few days before they could meet again. That evening, Shen Dang had clung to Qiao Xi for a long time before letting her go.

As a result, Qiao Xi almost missed her flight to the Imperial Capital the next day.

Shen Dang and the Sheng Chao couple returned to Hai City.

Qiao Xi arrived in the Imperial Capital with Bei Bei to meet up with the "Snowball" film crew.

While Qiao Xi attended a press conference in the Imperial Capital, "Dream Chasing Camp 2" had also filmed its second episode.

The second season was filmed in the same location as the first, which was very meaningful for the entire crew.

Shen Dang arrived at the filming site.

Trainees were recording in the studio while Shen Dang and the person in charge were in another room, where a television connected to the filming scene.

Shen Dang lounged on the sofa, one hand propping his forehead, exuding an indolent, proud demeanor.

He toned down his aura, appearing utterly relaxed, but the person in charge still reported to him cautiously.

"The group launched by GK is very popular and talented. Shengshi Entertainment’s rookies are also quite impressive. Overall, this season’s trainees seem to be much stronger than those in the first season."

Shen Dang hummed softly from his throat, "What do the viewers think of Nie Anfong?"

She had entered the entertainment industry ranked first; Shen Dang wondered how many people were jealous of Nie Anfong yet wished they could be her.

"She’s performed well, very humble, and doesn’t act superior. Since she’s about the same age as the other trainees, they get along well. The audience enjoys seeing Nie Anfong."

"Since that’s the case, let Nie Anfong stay on."

Shen Dang was also planning to leave.

He hadn’t left yet when his phone rang.

It was Sheng Chao’s call.

"You’ve gone on vacation again?"

"At the filming site." Shen Dang clicked his tongue, annoyed, "Is there something you need?"

"When will you be back? I’ll come to IDC Capital to meet you."

Shen Dang hung up the phone and was about to leave when the person in charge saw him out. Shen Dang kept a low profile, not allowing anyone to follow.

Assistant Gao was waiting for him in the parking area.

Shen Dang took another way to leave; it was a less frequented area, but midway, he encountered a trainee.
