Chapter 284 - 284 Lived in a Village

284 Lived in a Village

Xu Ni: “…”

The extras: “…”

The few staff members who were passing by: “…”

Everyone was frozen on the spot, their lower lips unable to find their upper lips.

Su Ji, on the other hand, was calm and composed. She took out the disinfectant hand wash that Pei Huai had stuffed into her pocket and went to the side to wash her hands carefully.

The sound of the water flowing could be heard. After an unknown period of time, Xu Ni couldn’t help but say, “Su Ji, what are you doing…”

Su Ji spread out her wet hands, “I’m washing my hands. There’s bacteria on the rat, so I need to disinfect it.”

“No,” Xu Ni said, “I mean what did you just do!”

Su Ji tilted her head in the direction of the big rat’s body, “aren’t you afraid of it?”

Xu Ni could not speak…

The others also gradually came to their senses.

Su Ji had just killed a big rat!

!!!

Su Ji ignored the shocked expressions of these people. She looked around and found that there was another person who was not afraid of the big rat.

That person was Zhou Xuefang.

Because the big rat’s body fell at her feet after hitting the tree trunk, she kicked it, but it was like kicking a small stone.

“What are you all doing over there?”

In the distance, Han Junlei and Huang Huayu were standing in front of an outdoor stove.

The aroma of vegetables wafted out from the big pot.

Huang Huayu waved at them, “the food is ready. We don’t have many appliances here, so we’ll just have a simple farmer’s meal.”

“But it’s clean. Wash your hands and get ready for dinner!”

Su Ji washed her hands again.

Tonight’s meal was really very simple. It was so simple that even the extras complained silently, not to mention the main actors, who had been spoiled by eating gold abalone every day.

However, it was still a rare experience. Moreover, all the actors were eating together, and everyone was quite lively. They didn’t care about what they ate, and they didn’t feel cold as they sat around the stove in the middle of winter.

The extras were very happy to see Su Ji in person. Su Ji had just helped them kill the rat, so they were all sitting around her.

The people who used to watch this drama for Si Jingchuan had changed their target.

Zhou Xuefang looked at the people surrounding Su Ji. She held a bowl of vegetable soup in her hand and felt as if there was a fishbone stuck in her throat.

Everyone would look up to someone who was much better than them, but no one could stand someone who was originally inferior to them but had now surpassed them!

Her grip on the bowl of soup tightened, and her throat tightened.

The fangirls around her were all praising Su Ji’s bravery. She wasn’t even afraid of a rat, and they asked her how she did it.

Su Ji wasn’t a big fan of noise and excitement. She looked at Zhou Xuefang and said, “Xuefangg isn’t afraid either. You can ask her.”

She originally wanted to divert the attention, but after hearing Su Ji’s words, Zhou Xuefang had a big reaction.

She was in a really bad mood today, so she didn’t hide her emotions. She directly retorted, “what are you trying to imply?”

The lively crowd fell silent.

Su Ji sneered, “what do you mean?”

Xu Ni also thought it was funny, “she said you’re not afraid of rats. What does that imply?”

Zhou Xuefang dug her thumb into the bowl in her hand. She looked as if she had been greatly humiliated, “my hometown, Nancheng, is indeed a small place, but it’s not a village. She said that I’m not afraid of rats. Isn’t that implying that my family was poor?”

The surroundings became even quieter.

There were always comments on the internet saying that the two female leads didn’t get along. They thought that it was just groundless accusations, but they didn’t expect it to be true.

Even the existing members of the production team felt that the atmosphere was not right, and they were ready to draw their swords.

Su Ji wasn’t angry at all. Instead, she could tell from Zhou Xuefang’s overly sensitive reaction that she was embarrassed.

She laughed, “you’re not the only one who’s not afraid of rats. I just killed a rat with my bare hands. Do I have to laugh at you for this?”

“That’s right, Su Ji didn’t mean it that way.”

“We’re just having a normal chat, don’t overthink it.”

Zhou Xuefang seemed to have realized that she had overreacted and was feeling a little regretful.

However, it was definitely not because she regretted lashing out at Su Ji, but because it would damage her image.

Her face was the color of pig liver.

Sensing that the director was also starting to look in their direction, Zhou Xuefang calmed down within a minute. She put on a weak and gentle smile and said, “I’m sorry, I misunderstood you. Maybe it’s because I’m a little tired from the ride today…”

Su Ji said, “it’s okay. Since you’re not feeling well, you should rest early tonight. Family background doesn’t mean anything,” she looked at the house behind her and said casually, “I’ve lived in a house worse than this one.”

She had traveled the world and experienced everything.

As soon as she said this, the surrounding people were shocked again.

“The Su family’s eldest miss has lived in a place that’s worse than this?”

“Waa! I really think she’s very mysterious! I love it!”

Zhou Xuefang seemed to have been consoled, but her expression looked even worse.

However, she still said, “thank you. I’m glad you’re not angry.”

The extras were the best at reading the room. Seeing that the two of them had stopped talking, they quickly changed the topic.

“Su Ji, I’ve watched the New Year’s Eve special of ‘Hello, Sunday’. I’ve been shipping you and CEO Pei since, hahahaha!”

“How is CEO Pei usually like? Does he like men or not?”

Su Ji was just about to reply when someone said, “was Tang Yimo with CEO Pei before this?”

“Su Ji, who do you like the most out of all the male actors??”

“Why just the male actors? Include the females too!”

..

The endless questions came one after another, extending further and further.

Su Ji rubbed her face. Her head was starting to hurt.

She felt like she was talking to eight hundred people.

Since she had just finished her meal, she found an excuse to get up and leave.

Xu Ni also didn’t like the noise. He took his pack of cigarettes and lighter from the small table and left with her, but not in the same direction as her.

Su Ji’s departure disappointed the fangirls, but it didn’t take long for them to gather around the directors.

Zhou Xuefang’s gaze followed Su Ji’s back as she walked further and further away. The corners of her eyes gradually darkened.

The reason why she had given in just now was not only to maintain her image, but also because her uncle was nearby.

Her uncle knew her family very well, and it would be terrible if she revealed anything.

Su Ji came from a good family and was rich. Having that kind of experience could be seen as a show-off, and others would not discriminate against her. Instead, they would think that she was mysterious, but she was different…

Zhou Xuefang came from a small city and before her family moved to the southern city, they had been living in a village.

That was why she wasn’t afraid of rats. She had seen so many of them that she couldn’t even pretend to be afraid.
