Chapter 509: Chapter 509

"High School Musical" is Ola’s story of growth from a weakling to a powerhouse, detailing Ola’s development trajectory. Therefore, Ola is absolutely the main female lead in the movie, while He Jinxia is an important supporting actress with the most significant screen time among the secondary characters.

But even so, compared to Ola, she could be considered idle.

Today, with fewer scenes and an early wrap, He Jinxia spent all her remaining time practicing dance in the dance studio.

The dance moves had already been set, and the song had been selected; everything was ready except for the dance itself.

From morning until noon, and from noon until afternoon, He Jinxia stayed in the dance studio.

In the evening, Cheng Xiaohua brought dinner over and chatted with her about the funny incidents that happened on the set today.

Not being on set, she had to have someone keep an eye on things there to avoid being caught off guard by any major developments.

He Jinxia planned to rest after eating and continue practicing, so the two nonchalantly sat on the floor of the dance studio, making do with their meal.

Cheng Xiaohua teasingly said, "It’s such a pity you weren’t there today. Something amusing happened, Ola seemed to have fallen for Char during the filming, their interaction in the scene was so close, alas, it fed me quite a spoonful of dog food."

He Jinxia couldn’t help but roll her eyes at her, "Why don’t you mention that Char might have fallen for Ola during the filming? Wanting to show off their love, it takes two to tango, both of them need to cooperate to make it work."

Cheng Xiaohua winked at her, "Aiyo, you make it sound like you’re so experienced."

He Jinxia turned her head away, huffing lightly, "I can’t be bothered with you."

Cheng Xiaohua: "Indeed, it takes two to tango, but honestly, I don’t think Char is really into Ola. I believe Char is just being a gentleman, indulging her."

He Jinxia: "Those are all your thoughts, maybe others might also have a little interest in Ola. We just started filming, it’s too early to tell. After a while, things will become clearer."

Thinking of something, He Jinxia continued, "Moreover, it’s quite normal for girls to be a bit delicate; who never had moments of being needy? If not needy, it’s just that there hasn’t been someone to be needy with."

Cheng Xiaohua exclaimed, giving her another knowing look, "Why do I feel like you’re speaking from experience?"

Ever since Sister Xiao Hua found out about her relationship with Sheng Yan, she often teased her. He Jinxia didn’t mind, lifting her head with a grin, "Because I’ve found someone I can be unreservedly needy with!"

Cheng Xiaohua put her hand on her chest, a look of despair, "What should I do, I came here to tease you, but instead, you fed me a spoonful of toxic dog food. This isn’t working, no way!"

He Jinxia laughed, adding the final touch, "You could find someone yourself, Sister Xiao Hua. Brother Luo has a stable partner, and you still don’t. I don’t mind if the team dates."

Cheng Xiaohua blinked, "Comrade He Jinxia, there’s actually a big problem with me making friends. If I knew why I can’t get a boyfriend, would I still be without one?"

He Jinxia felt hit in the heart.

She reached out, patting her on the shoulder, dryly saying, "It’s fate, it’s not that it won’t come, just that the time hasn’t arrived yet."

Cheng Xiaohua muttered, "You might as well have said nothing..."

He Jinxia resignedly put a fried chicken wing from her lunchbox into Sister Xiao Hua’s bowl, "Eat this."

Cheng Xiaohua’s eyes lit up, and her gloominess was immediately cast aside.

Before eating, nothing is a problem!

That evening, after finishing her dance practice, He Jinxia returned to the hotel with Sister Xiao Hua. Xie Jiahui sent a message at that time, asking when they were free as she wanted to take them both out for a meal.

Before He Jinxia even replied, Xie Jiahui had already sent over the restaurant she had chosen—this time, no hotpot, but barbecue instead.

Soon after, Xie Jiahui sent another voice message, "This barbecue place has just opened and has many good reviews online. I want to try it out. It’s no fun eating alone, you two join me, I’ll pay!"

He Jinxia didn’t ask why Xie Jiahui did not invite her other friends but chose her and Cheng Xiaohua instead.

She counted the days in her head, somewhat uncertain—it seemed like there were holidays in foreign film shooting schedules? Weekend offs? Single offs? No overtime?"

Just as she was about to ask Cheng Xiaohua about the holidays, Xie Jiahui sent another voice message, full of enthusiasm, "It’s really delicious, I’m treating!"

Cheng Xiaohua, walking ahead, hadn’t heard the first part of Jiahui’s message clearly, but she caught the second part and immediately turned around, running over and asking, "What delicious food, Jiahui is treating?!"

He Jinxia gave her a look, her reaction to food was always so quick.

"Jiahui said she found a newly opened barbecue restaurant with a good reputation, so she wants us to go and has asked when we’re free!"

Cheng Xiaohua’s mind flickered with excitement, "No time to delay, how about tomorrow? We are both free tomorrow. I forgot to tell you earlier, the crew is taking a day off. Their rule is to shoot for five days and then take a day off."

Cheng Xiaohua spoke regretfully, "Director Wilson is too strict. I asked the other actors, and they all told me with gloomy faces that normally film crews shoot for five days and take two off, just like a job, with weekends off, and no overtime on regular days."

"Too bad, if we had two days off, we could have gone to visit some nearby tourist attractions." Nᴇw novel chapters are publɪshed on novel-fire.ɴet

He Jinxia coughed. Were they here to travel or to shoot a film?

However... that idea did sound pretty good, traveling while filming, how nice!

But that was just wishful thinking, such good things don’t happen in real life.

He Jinxia replied to Jiahui, letting her know they were free all day tomorrow. Jiahui responded with a cheering emoji and immediately called Cheng Xiaohua.

Cheng Xiaohua held her phone, muttering about something, unclear what they were discussing.

He Jinxia thought for a moment, pulled Sister Xiao Hua aside, and whispered, "Let’s not let Jiahui pay, we’ll go Dutch."

Cheng Xiaohua gave her an "OK" sign and continued her conversation with Xie Jiahui.

It was strange, Xie Jiahui and Cheng Xiaohua really hit it off, could it be the charm of food and foodies?

Back at the hotel, He Jinxia watched some TV. Luo You timed his call with her rest period, reminding her to prepare for a leave in seven days’ time, as they needed to fly back home for the Golden Eagle Festival.

The Golden Eagle Award is one of the important domestic awards, even though it is entirely voted by the audience, it holds significant meaning.
