Chapter 23 - Dirt (Your Little Bit of Information Hardly Made You The Know-It-All of the Entertainment Circle) (1)
The filming in the morning went very well. The filming crew was able to wrap up before 11:30 and have lunch.
Xiao Yuan grabbed the female lead’s lunch box, happily went back over to Xu WanZhi, and said excitedly as she unwrapped her disposable chopsticks, “WanZhi-jie, your acting was so good this morning! I was totally mesmerized.”
“Such flattery,” grumbled Xu WanZhi casually but was very happy about it.
Xiao Yuan giggled as she wrapped her arms around hers and said, “Your little fox had just became the latest star on the internet!”
Xu WanZhi paused for a second and asked, “What did you just say?”
Xiao Yuan fished out her phone and quickly opened up WeChat, searched for Jiang YueXian and showed her. “Remember how Jiang YueXian took away your little fox this morning? He took a few selfies with it and also some video clips and posted them onto WeChat. They have already been reposted some 20,000 times!”
Having said that, Xiao Yuan pushed over her cellphone to show her.
Xu WanZhi glanced down at it:
@Jiang YueXian: [The little fox that my dog brought back. It won’t let me kiss or hug it. It was a little tsundere.]
Below that, there was a collage of 9 pictures. 8 pictures on the outside with an animated one in the center. The animated one was in slow motion where the little fox kicked Jiang YueXian on his face with its black and fuzzy little leg. Jiang YueXian only smiled in the most pampering way and nuzzled it with his nose, all in perfect harmony.
Xu WanZhi was completely baffled. She scrolled down and saw that this had been the style of this film emperor. Using the warm filter with little animals, show off his love for them, adopting cats, dogs, and bunnies. Sure enough, the character of a warm man.
But him in his flesh and blood… she didn’t even know what to say.
All the top comments under the WeChat were about the little fox.
[Oooooo! It’s soooo cute. This little fox can smile!]
[Judging from its fur, it’s already an adult fox. How is it still the size of a baby fox?]
[I have been looking at the center video for the last two hours. The tsundere little fox was too cute!]
[This member of the cat party wanted to switch sides already.]
[I have looked through all the other stars who had interacted with JiangJiang and didn’t find the little fox. Speak, whose fox is it? I need to go get my fill of that fox!]
[First reaction: So jealous of the little fox, touching JiangJiang with its little foot. After watching it a few more times… so jealous of JiangJIang. I want to pet the fox too!]
Xu WanZhi couldn’t help but laugh out loud. “Who would have thought that the day the film emperor was leeching off of my popularity would come, huh?”
Xiao Yuan nodded nonstop like she was smashing garlic. “WanZhi-jie, your fox is really cute. How come I have never seen it before?”
“Ugh…” Xu WanZhi’s eyes darted around and finally was able to make up an excuse. “Mu ZhenYu won’t let me keep pets at home.”
“Oh, is that so?” Xiao Yuan nodded profoundly then, sticking her head over closer to Xu WanZhi, asked, “Should we post some pictures of the little fox on WeChat as well? Maybe we can purify you overnight with its help?”
Xu WanZhi smiled and shook her head. “It’s not time yet.”
Xiao Yuan lowered her eyes in disappointment. After a little while, she seemed to have recalled something else. She looked up. Her eyes were lit up. She asked, “Then… if you need someone to take care of it, I can always take it. I will work hard on learning all about raising a fox.”
Raising… Xu WanZhi chuckled a little and didn’t comment.
