Chapter 170 - 170: Stupid
Lin Xiaowan was also shocked by the accident, but she reacted quickly and said, “It’s okay.”
She quickly bent down and put the small lantern aside, wanting to have a look.
The staff member was so nervous that his palms were sweating. He did not dare to look at Lin Xiaowan and kept fiddling with the wheel and the dress.
Lin Xiaowan was unaware of the other party’s nervousness, and she could not reach out to help him. She asked, “How is it? Can you pull it out?”
The staff member glanced at her from the corners of his eyes. Seeing that she did not notice anything and that she looked more curious than anything else, he calmed down a little. He replied, “It’s a little difficult to deal with. I’m really sorry.”
As he spoke, his eyes darted around. When his gaze landed at the end of the path, he saw Lu Yingxin. He sighed in relief immediately and relaxed completely. If Lu Yingxin did not show up, he would not have been able to do this. If it were not for the fact that Lu Yingxin offered him a lot of money, he would not have been willing to do this.
Lu Yingxin pretended as though she just happened to walk past this place. Her scenes had already ended during the day, and she was dressed in her own clothes at this moment. She ran over and asked, “Xiaowan, what’s wrong?”
Lin Xiaowan pointed at the hem of her dress and said, “The dress is a little long, and it got caught in the wheel.” Then, she asked casually, “You don’t have scenes to film?”
Lu Yingxin took the initiative to come over and help out enthusiastically. She said, “That’s right. My scenes ended during the day. Since I have nothing to do now, 1 can help you.”
The staff member hurriedly stood up and said with an apologetic expression on his face, “I’m really sorry. I, I still have something to do… Can 1…”
Lu Yingxin quickly replied, “Of course, you can go first. It’s fine. We’ll handle it.”
Lin Xiaowan did not think it was a big deal so she nodded as well. “Yes, yes. If you have something to do then you can go ahead first.”
After the staff member left, Lu Yingxin took the initiative to put the jacket on her waist on the ground before she said, “It must be tiring for you to stand like that. If you don’t mind, you can sit on my jacket.”
Lin Xiaowan’s back was indeed a little sore. She was forced to bend down and could not move freely because her hem was caught in the wheel. At most, she could only squat down, which would get tiring after a while as well. However, when she looked at the light blue jacket on the ground, she said, “This won’t do. Don’t put your jacket on the ground. It’s dirty.”
Lu Yingxin did not mind at all. She said, “I’ve already placed it on the ground anyway. It’s fine. Just sit down.”
As Lu Yingxin spoke, she used a little strength and pressed Lin Xiaowan’s shoulders with both hands so Lin Xiaowan would sit.
After sitting down, Lin Xiaowan felt much better so she no longer refused. She was already sitting on the jacket anyway. It would be a little pretentious if she kept refusing. She said, “I’ll bring the jacket with me later. 1’11 return it to you after I wash it.”
Lu Yingxin was overjoyed. This was good. It would give her an excuse to visit Lin Xiaowan’s house. Naturally, she hid her excitement and pretended to be indifferent as she said, “It’s ok. Let’s talk about this later. Let me see how to remove the hem from the wheel first. This is the film’s costume, right? Are you acting as an extra again?”
Lin Xiaowan replied, “Yes, but it was only for a short while. They haven’t finished filming yet, but 1 snuck away.”
Lin Xiaowan sounded a little embarrassed as she spoke and laughed a few times.
After a long time, Lu Yingxin was still trying to remove the hem from the wheel with no success. She even removed the props in the wheelbarrow and laid it on its side, but the hem was still firmly caught in the wheel. She could not help but curse inwardly at the staff member.
‘Why is it so tight? I told him to do it casually!’
Finally, Lu Yingxin sighed and said, “It’s really not easy. My legs are numb from squatting. Let me stretch them for a while.”
Lu Yingxin had been squatting the entire time she tried to remove the hem from the wheel, and her back and legs were a little sore. She looked at Lin Xiaowan, who was sitting on the ground, and could not help but curse at Lin Xiaowan even though she was the one who told Lin Xiaowan to sit. In her mind, she thought that Lin Xiaowan only cared about her own comfort and did not care if she was tired.
Meanwhile, Lin Xiaowan saw that Lu Yingxin’s hands, which were originally, had become dirty after touching the wheel and the axles. She felt very apologetic and quickly moved aside to make space for Lu Yingxin. She said, “Rest for a while. Sit here.”
Upon hearing these words, Lu Yingxin did not sit down. Instead, she squatted down again and said, “No need, no need. The faster we get this done, the earlier you can go home.
With this, Lin Xiaowan was even more grateful to Lu Yingxin. During the process, she tried to help Lu Yingxin several times, but she was stopped by Lu Yingxin.
Lu Yingxin was especially considerate of Lin Xiaowan. She said, “It’s fine. My hands are already dirty anyway. 1’11 do it. Don’t dirty your hands.”
Lin Xiaowan’s EQ.was not particularly high. Perhaps if it was another person, he or she would still reach out to help. However, Lin Xiaowan was the kind of person who would do as she was told without thinking too much about it. Since Lu Yingxin told her not to touch it, she would not touch it. However, when she thought about it later, she would feel bad and think of a way to treat the other party better. To put it bluntly, she was not very smart. In the workplace, she could even be called dumb. She was the kind who was easily led by the nose and would be gossiped about.
This was very in line with Lu Yingxin’s plan to make Lin Xiaowan feel bad so she could get closer to Lin Xiaowan and enter Lin Xiaowan’s life.
After a long time, Lu Yingxin finally managed to loosen the hem a little. At this time, the dress was already very wrinkled. She said, “Okay, it’s getting looser…” However, Lu Yingxin still failed to remove it. In the end, she ran out of patience and sat down for a moment. She brought her phone out and asked, “Let me rest for a moment. Do you want milk tea? 1’11 treat you to milk tea.”
Lin Xiaowan was tempted. Her heart wavered, but she was still hesitant. “You’ve already spent so much time helping me. 1 should treat you instead. However, my phone isn’t with me.”
Lu Yingxin was speechless when she heard this. In this age and time, there were still people who did not carry their phones with them everywhere they went. She did not think that Lin Xiaowan was lying. After all, a cup of milk tea did not cost much, and Lin Xiaowan did not lack this bit of money.
Finally, Lu Yingxin took a seat next to Lin Xiaowan and said, “It’s fine, it’s fine. Don’t worry about it. It’s just a cup of milk tea. At most, you can treat me next time. What kind of milk tea do you want?”
Lin Xiaowan had no preference so she said, “I’m fine with anything. I’ll have whatever you’re having. Thank you so much. 1’11 treat you to a meal next time.” “Sure,” Lu Yingxin said. This time, she did not stand on ceremony. In her opinion, the places where Lin Xiaowan would take her were all high-end places. She had a beautiful plan in her mind. Lin Xiaowan was an easy person to manipulate. When the time came, she would drop some hints. Perhaps at that time, she would be able to eat at an exclusive restaurant. For example, there was a courtyard house in the heart of the city that only served a table of old Shengjing cuisine every day. It was a place where Old Master Li could not enter even if he worked hard for 8oo years. Perhaps she could eat there.
Lin Xiaowan asked curiously, “They do delivery here?”
“They can even deliver food to the mountaintop. Why can’t they deliver it here?”
After ordering the milk tea, Lu Yingxin finally relaxed. She sat next to Lin Xiaowan and said with a sigh, “My family is urging me to go on blind dates again. How annoying.”
Then, Lu Yingxin asked, “Xiaowan, how did you meet President Huo?”
