Chapter 25 Give as much as you want

  The next morning, Tang Xiaosheng got up early and was about to start making breakfast. However, when he arrived at the kitchen, he found that Little Dragon Girl was already busy inside, using an electric stove to cook something.

  "Long'er, why did you get up so early? Can't you sleep a bit more? Is it because of stomach trouble that you can't fall asleep?"

  "No, my stomach is fine now." Little Dragon Girl held a ladle in her hand, scooped some into the stainless steel pot on the electric stove, and after a moment, she said, "Xiao'er, breakfast is ready, you can eat now."

  Xiao Long Nu had always hoped that her presence would not bring too much trouble to Tang Xiao Sheng, but unfortunately, things did not go as she wished. The day before yesterday, Xia Bai came to disturb them first, and yesterday, she made Tang Xiao Sheng busy for a whole day because of her stomachache. In her heart, she always felt uneasy, so she tried hard to share some of the burden, and this morning she got up early to cook.

  Seeing her cooking with such a posture, Tang Xiaosheng really found a bit of home feeling, and couldn't help but secretly sigh in admiration. It's hard enough for the naturally cold and worldly-wise little dragon girl to be busy in the kitchen like a housewife.

  "Long'er, what did you have for breakfast?" Tang Xiaosheng asked curiously, leaning forward.

  "Eight Treasures Porridge." Little Dragon Maiden said calmly.

  Tang Xiaosheng was taken aback, yesterday morning he had tasted the eight-treasure porridge made by Little Dragon Girl, the flavor of the porridge was quite heavy, even saltier than salted fish. Whether it was good or not is not worth mentioning, whether it could be swallowed was a problem.

  Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little worried and hastily asked in a weak voice: "Long'er, was the eight-treasure porridge cooked according to yesterday's method?"

  Little Dragon Girl nodded: "Yesterday you and Xiang Er said that the porridge tasted good, so I made it exactly the same way today."

  "Also released five big spoons of salt?"

  "Hmm." Little Dragon Girl saw that he specifically asked about salt, so she followed up with a question, "Is the salt enough or does it need to be added more?"

  "Uh, no need, no need." Tang Xiaosheng said casually, but in his heart, he was secretly thinking about how to deal with today's breakfast.

  At this time, Guo Xiang also got out of bed, her little mouth constantly yawning, she had practiced guitar until after 1 am last night before going to sleep.

  "Good morning, big brother, dragon sister."

  "Okay. Xiang'er, breakfast is ready." said Little Dragon Girl.

  Guo Xiang was also hungry. Upon hearing that there was food to eat, she was overjoyed and curiously asked: "Long sister, what did you make for breakfast?"

  "Eight Treasures Porridge."

  Guo Xiang heard this and was taken aback for a moment, her small mouth pursed, saying nothing, but simply turning her head to exchange a glance with Tang Xiaosheng, the two of them at this time were more eloquent in silence than in words.

  Then, Little Dragon Girl brought the cooked eight-treasure porridge to the living room and divided it into three bowls. One bowl was given to Tang Xiaosheng, one to Guo Xiang, and one for herself. The three of them sat around the dining table and started having breakfast together.

  Only Tang Xiaosheng and Guo Xiang were quietly staring at the porridge in their bowls, but they hesitated to move their spoons. As for the taste of this eight-treasure porridge, they had already experienced it yesterday, and now thinking about it, they still felt a lingering fear.

  "Hey, Xiang'er, why aren't you two eating yet?" Little Dragon Girl asked with some puzzlement as she saw them staring blankly at the rice porridge.

  Tang Xiao Sheng and Guo Xiang looked at each other, wanting to speak but stopping themselves, and finally continued to remain silent because they really didn't know what to say. Although the porridge cooked by Little Dragon Maiden was too salty, it was already rare for her to cook personally, so it should be encouraged rather than damaging her confidence.

  Seeing the two people's behavior was a bit strange, Little Dragon Girl also realized something, and after a pause, she used a spoon to scoop up a mouthful of the eight-treasure porridge from her bowl and sent it into her mouth.

  As soon as the porridge entered her mouth, she hadn't even chewed twice when her eyebrows suddenly furrowed, and she involuntarily spat out the rice porridge in her mouth, muttering to herself: "Why is this eight-treasure porridge so salty?"

  Tang Xiaosheng and Guo Xiang sat quietly, maintaining silence.

  After a moment of stunned silence, Little Dragon Maiden finally came to her senses and realized that the Eight Treasures Porridge she had cooked was actually inedible. Tang Xiaosheng and Guo Xiang had only been pretending to eat it so as not to hurt her pride, and had been playing along with her all this time.

  "I'm really useless, I couldn't even cook porridge well." Long Nü said with a full of guilt and self-blame. She cooked the porridge in order to share some burden with Tang Xiao Sheng, but instead, she ended up causing him more trouble.

  "Dragon, don't talk nonsense, who says you're useless. Everything starts with difficulty, you've just started learning to cook, and this achievement is already very good." Tang Xiaosheng added, "Yesterday, you overcooked the porridge, but today you didn't, that's a huge improvement."

  Little Dragon Girl still felt guilty, turned her head to Guo Xiang and said: "Xiang'er, Long Jie is sorry for you, yesterday morning let you and Guo'er eat such salty eight-treasure porridge."

  Seeing her so self-blaming, Guo Xiang blinked and explained: "Long sister, my brother and I actually didn't eat the eight-treasure porridge you made yesterday. We both secretly threw it into the trash can."

  Little Dragon Girl's eyebrows slightly moved: "Really?"

  Tang Xiaosheng nodded beside him.

  At last, Xiaolongnv felt a little relieved in her heart. After a moment of silence, she seriously warned: "Xiaoyuer, from now on, no matter what happens, you must not hide anything from me."

  "Good." Tang Xiaosheng nodded his head and said so with his mouth, but he definitely couldn't think that way in his heart. At least he couldn't reveal his fake identity.

  Because Xiaolongnv's eight-treasure porridge was incredibly salty and inedible, Tang Xiaosheng decided to cook breakfast himself. Xiaolongnv also knew her cooking skills were not great and didn't dare to compete with him.

  Tang Xiaosheng's most desired breakfast food was instant noodles, but considering Little Dragon Girl's poor stomach, he ultimately decided to endure the pain and cook congee instead.

  While cooking porridge, he called the group heads in the film and television city to ask if there were any plays that could be filmed, hoping to make some money.

  I moved two days ago, 7,000 yuan has been spent on rent, and more than 1,000 yuan was used to buy a guitar for Guo Xiang. Yesterday, I took Xiaolongnu to see a doctor and spent over a hundred yuan. The 10,000 yuan that Guo Yang gave me is now only over 1,000 yuan left, it's time to find a job.

  Unfortunately, after finishing the phone call with all the group leaders, the reply received was exactly the same as yesterday's. All the group leaders gave a negative response, claiming that they didn't need an actor, which means he can only stay at home again today.

  Xiaolongnv saw that he was in a hurry to find work and make money, and said softly: "Guoer, actually there is a bank card in my luggage, with tens of thousands of yuan on it."

  She is the daughter of Long Tianhao, and it's not surprising that she has tens of thousands of dollars in spending money. However, as a man, Tang Xiaosheng felt that using a woman's money would be embarrassing. He said calmly, "Let's talk about it later!"

  The little dragon girl could understand his thoughts, so she didn't say much either.

  Since there were no films to shoot, after having breakfast, Tang Xiaosheng stayed at home and continued to learn martial arts with Little Dragon Girl. Yesterday, he had learned "Ding Xue" (one of the eighteen types of acupoint techniques in the "Nine Yin True Classics" point-hitting chapter). Today, he focused on learning the second type of acupoint technique - "Ma Xue".

  What is referred to as a "numbing acupoint", as the name suggests, once it is hit, the body will feel numbness, which can temporarily make one lose their ability to resist.

  In the "Nine Yin Scripture" point hole chapter, nine kinds of numbness holes operation techniques are introduced. Tang Xiaosheng only learned the simplest three among them at first.

  Thanks to yesterday's foundation, he learned very quickly today and mastered the basic skills of pointing at the numbness points in less than two hours. However, the pain brought by the numbness points is not ordinary, and he didn't dare to experiment on Little Dragon Girl, so he could only practice in mid-air.

  By noon, he had practiced the three techniques of Ma Xue for hundreds of times and was already very proficient.

  Just then, his mobile phone suddenly rang. It was an unfamiliar call. He picked up the phone: "Hello, I'm Tang Xiaosheng."

  "Mr. Tang, I have a play to shoot here and need an actor. Are you interested?" A thick voice of a middle-aged man came from the other end of the phone.

  As soon as he heard this, Tang Xiaosheng was overjoyed and hastily asked: "Very interested, what play is it?"

  "The play is simple, you'll understand when you come over. As for salary, I'll give you as much as you want, as long as you're willing to film."

  Tang Xiaosheng was stunned, thinking he had misheard. He asked for confirmation: "You're not joking, are you?"

  "If you're interested, come take a look. The address is Room 303, White Egret Hotel, Shun'an Road. Bidding starts at 1 pm today."

  Tang Xiaosheng looked at the time and it was already 11 o'clock in the middle of the night. He replied, "Okay, I'll go right away."

  After hanging up the phone, his head was still foggy and he didn't know what kind of play it was. He could get as much salary as he wanted, which was something that had never happened to him in six years of filming.

  No matter what the situation was, he still decided to go and take a look.

  "Long'er, a film crew has found me to shoot a movie, I have to go out this afternoon."

  Little Dragon Girl was actually not very willing to let him go out, because his leg injury had not fully recovered. However, she understood Tang Xiaosheng's personality and could only remind him: "Be careful, okay?"

  "Don't worry! By the way, the medicine is almost ready, remember to drink it yourself." Then, she turned to Guo Xiang who was practicing guitar in the room and said, "Xiang'er, big brother has gone to work."

  "Uh, see you later, big brother."

  Then Tang Xiaosheng hastily changed into sportswear and left Jiayuan Community, riding his old bicycle to the Egret Hotel.

  In the city of Jinghua, more than 80% of the plays are shot in the Film and Television City, and it is not common to shoot in large hotels. Tang Xiaosheng thought that they should be shooting some special scenes, so he didn't pay much attention to it.

  In less than an hour, he arrived at the White Egret Hotel and was led by a female receptionist to room 303.

  When he arrived, he found two middle-aged men standing at the door of Room 303.

  Two men, looking like bodyguards, stood with a stern expression, both about 1.85 meters tall, with rugged square faces, thick eyebrows and big eyes, broad shoulders, and robust builds.

  They were dressed in black suits, but their clothes were stretched tight, and it was easy to imagine that they had a stunningly strong physique.

  Two steps in front of the two bodyguards, Tang Xiaosheng felt as if he was standing in front of two stone walls. He looked up at them and couldn't help but feel a little dizzy and suffocated.

  "Are you Tang Xiaosheng?" One of the bodyguards sized him up and asked in a deep voice, which seemed to be the same person who had spoken on the phone earlier.

  "Yes, I am Tang Xiaosheng." Seeing this scene, Tang Xiaosheng felt that the situation seemed a bit off, it didn't seem like they were looking for someone to film.

  "Go on in, our boss is waiting for you."

  "Thank you."

  Tang Xiaosheng calmed down and walked slowly into room 303.

  As soon as he entered, he saw a young man, about 26 years old, wearing a suit and leather shoes, with shiny hair, holding a stack of documents, sitting in front of an office desk, fully focused on what he was looking at.

  "Is it you?"

  Tang Xiaosheng was taken aback for a moment, with a slightly surprised expression. It turned out that this young man was actually the rich young master who had a marriage contract with Long Xiaoxue - Xia Bai.
