The volume of the TV outside was lowered. I sat on the study chair and didn't dare to move or make a sound. The chair was so uncomfortable.
The conversation between Xiao Qin and her mother could be heard through the bedroom door, so I couldn't eavesdrop even if I wanted to.
Auntie Ren's voice didn't change much compared to when I was a child. She had the independence of a mature woman, but she also had the forthrightness of a martial arts practitioner.
Xiao Qin was an obedient girl in front of her mother and would answer all her questions.
"Xiao Qin, how was school this week? Are you used to it? "
"Mhmm, the new school is pretty good! I like it a lot! "
I didn't know what Xiao Qin liked about 28 Middle.
"It's good that you like it, even though I know the school isn't that great … Even if you want to go there, isn't it more convenient to go to your uncle's school?"
"But I don't like private schools ~ ~ ~ ~ ~"
Although I couldn't see through the door, I could imagine Xiao Qin acting coquettishly in front of her mother.
"Mom, don't always ask about my school. Tell me if you've encountered anything new on the set!"
Xiao Qin skillfully changed the topic.
I remember reading in the newspaper that after retiring from MMA, Auntie Ren became a martial arts director and became active in the film industry. Auntie Ren participated in several Kung Fu films in recent years and one of them even won an award in a foreign film festival.
Which film team had invited him this time?
Auntie Ren let out a long sigh as if work on set wasn't going her way.
"Don't mention it. I told you last time that this film was funded by Hollywood. They said they wanted to 'mix in Eastern elements and seize the China market'. It's clearly a fantasy film, but they say it's a Kung Fu film. If I didn't know someone in the crew, I wouldn't have accepted this job! "
She said as she hammered the sofa's armrest.
It seems she was afraid of scaring Xiao Qin. After a pause, Auntie Ren's tone softened a bit.
"Hmph, let me tell you, none of the American actors who came to film have any foundation in Kung Fu. They all sing, dance, or do crosstalk …"
"Eh? Mom, do they do crosstalk in America? "
"They're talk show hosts! I've always treated them as crosstalk. "
"That's not bad! It must be fun when they perform! "
Xiao Qin had been playing the role of a listener, helping to comfort her mother from time to time.
The posture of this mother and daughter talking was a bit reversed. Under normal circumstances, shouldn't the mother be the one explaining her daughter's youthful worries?
"Interesting? Maybe the Americans found it interesting? I don't understand that kind of American humor. Hou Baolin and Baldy Chen are much better than them! "
"Then … is the entire crew American? Mom, don't get bullied by those foreigners! "
Auntie Ren snickered.
"There aren't that many Americans. More than half of the employees are hired locally. American salaries are so expensive! Besides, those singers, dancers, and crosstalks, even if they all came together, they wouldn't be a match for your mother! On the other hand, there's a dark-skinned and burly private bodyguard who looks rather difficult to deal with … "
My heart skipped a beat. An American Kung Fu movie with a big bodyguard that even Auntie Ren doesn't dare to underestimate …
Could it be Ai Mi's crew? Director Cao told me about this Kung Fu show before. It's called "The Magic Cauldron" or something. This was too much of a coincidence! Doesn't that mean Auntie Ren has to guide Ai Mi on set?
With Ai Mi's terrible personality, will she be able to successfully cooperate with Auntie Ren?
I'm a bit worried.
"Hehe, so there are so many of our own people accompanying my mom, then I'm relieved?"
"Nonsense, even if we were born in the same country, we might not be on the same side. Also, although more than half of the staff are Chinese, we have to communicate in English. It takes a lot of brain power to translate some martial arts terms into English! "
Xiao Qin giggled.
"Mom should be fine, right? Isn't your English very fluent? When you met dad in Hong Kong, didn't you communicate in English because you couldn't understand each other's Cantonese? "
Auntie Ren's tone suddenly became strict:
"You're not allowed to call him dad! That person has nothing to do with us! Your surname is Ren, not his Huo!! "
"Sorry … mom, I won't mention it again …"
Xiao Qin replied with a voice as soft as a mosquito.
It was the first time I heard Auntie Ren get angry at Xiao Qin. I was jealous when I saw the Little Tyrant's mom being so obedient to him.
The mother and daughter were silent for a while. In the end, Auntie Ren coughed twice and broke the silence.
"Okay, mom shouldn't be angry at you, don't blame mom, okay?"
"(* ^ _ _ ^ *) Hehe, I won't hold a grudge against mom, mom has always spoiled me since I was young ~?"
"It's good that you don't hold a grudge against me. Let me tell you, there was another unlucky incident on set today …"
Xiao Qin seemed to have taken a sip of tea and waited for her mom to continue.
"I thought the American actors didn't understand Chinese, so I casually complained to the Chinese cameraman: These people are really unprofessional, especially that blonde girl, why did she come to film a martial arts film with such poor stamina … guess what?"
"What happened?"
"That little girl, the one called Ai Mi 'er, who only knows how to sing, actually ran in front of me and used authentic Chinese to call me a bitch!"
I could imagine the scene. With Ai Mi's personality, there was no reason for her to endure Auntie Ren talking bad about her. It was already good enough that she didn't order Peng TouSi to PK with Auntie Ren.
Xiao Qin seemed to have choked on her tea and coughed a few times.
"It's, it's really strange! How can an American have such good Chinese? Mom, you didn't lower yourself to her level, right? "
"Of course, but her superior expression really annoys me. If she wasn't so young, I would have sent her flying with a kick!"
"Mom, drink some tea to moisten your throat."
Auntie Ren took a sip of tea and continued:
"How ironic, hiring so many people who don't know martial arts to film a martial arts film, it's really different from the past …"
Xiao Qin seemed to have stood up from the sofa and went to the kitchen to add some water to the teapot.
"Hey, Xiao Qin, do you want to play a role? You should have a better foundation than them, right? I still have the authority to assign people to roles that aren't too important. "
"I'm not going, showing my face in public isn't suitable for girls."
Xiao Qin rejected her mom's suggestion without hesitation.
"No, but, if you need a male role, one that's around my age … can I recommend someone to try?"
Is … the person Xiao Qin is going to recommend is me? Why do you guys always remember my immature dream! Don't mention it! I blush every time I think about it!
Auntie Ren snorted.
"Are you talking about the brat from teacher Ye's family?"
Xiao Qin silently agreed.
Auntie Ren was used to calling my dad teacher Ye, but it wasn't wrong. When I was young, my dad even tutored the kids in the mixed housing.
"Xiao Qin, tell me the truth: Did you go to 28 Middle to find that brat Ye?"
Xiao Qin still didn't say anything.
My heart also started pounding when I heard the conversation about me.
"Don't think I didn't see the photo you put on your bed! Even if you had a good relationship with him when you were young, you don't have to go against him every day, right? "
Auntie Ren, my ass! It's the Little Tyrant who never bullies me in front of you! But Xiao Qin told you we were good friends behind my back? My good friend is tormented to death by her every day!
Xiao Qin didn't say anything after talking about me, so I could only listen to Auntie Ren talking non-stop.
"Although that Ye brat was quite honest when he was young, who knows what he's become after so many years? Don't be wishful thinking … "
Xiao Qin finally couldn't hold it in anymore.
"Mom, don't keep calling him 'brat brat', he has a name! He's called Ye Lin, he's my neighbor right now, he often helps me at school! "
Help … your sister! I've stepped on your shoes, pulled your chair away, poured coke on your head, I've already done all sorts of bad things! If you praise me like that in front of Auntie Ren, I'll be so ashamed that I want to find a hole to hide in!
Auntie Ren said with a tone of disbelief.
"Hmph, if it wasn't for the fact that you locked yourself at home for the past three years and finally agreed to go to school, I wouldn't have helped you to this extent!"
"(* ^ _ _ ^ *) Hehe, I know mom treats me the best!"
"Don't try to get close to me with your arms around me! I'm telling you, don't let that Ye Lin take advantage of you. If he dares to make a move on you, just cripple one of his arms and one of his legs. Don't worry about the consequences, I'll take responsibility for you! "
I was trembling with fear after listening to Auntie Ren. It seems like it would be very easy for Xiao Qin to make me half paralyzed!
"Mom, look at what you're saying! I haven't practiced martial arts for over three years, my strength and reflexes have already regressed to the level of a normal middle school student! "
Auntie Ren snorted to express her disbelief.
I also don't believe it. If a normal middle school student in China can cripple two fingers of a pervert while chatting, then the captain of the urban management team can definitely charge into the White House alone and behead the President of the United States.
"Mom, you don't have to worry, I'm doing well at my new school, and Ye Lin classmate is very gentle to me!"
I'm ashamed, I was just forcing Xiao Qin to take off her clothes in the room 10 minutes ago.
Auntie Ren snorted even louder than before.
You're right, if I take away the dark history of the Little Tyrant, then I'm ashamed to face you and your mother.
Auntie Ren sighed in the end.
"Xiao Qin, you're still too young, be careful not to get tricked … Of course, I don't have the right to say this, but as a mother, there are some things I have to say."
"Don't worry mom, Ye Lin wouldn't lie to me!"
I don't know where Xiao Qin's confidence came from, but Auntie Ren's expression right now must be one of worry and helplessness.
"Forget it, the water is ready, I'm going to take a shower first. Sit here and think about it, don't foolishly jump into the fire pit."
I suddenly realized this was a chance to escape.
When I was hesitating, Xiao Qin opened the bedroom door.
