Chapter 3431: Does It Bother You?

The awkwardness continued even until after the plane had landed and parked.

Because Yan Zhiqing was chatting with both of them, the atmosphere between Han Zhuofeng and Xie Jiling started getting better.

However, the atmosphere between them didn’t feel as natural as before anymore.

Everyone then went to grab their luggages at the baggage reclaim area.

He Yuliang and the other boys were very chivalrous.

They helped the girls carry their luggage off of the conveyor belt.

Xie Jiling was only carrying a backpack, so she didn’t have to get her luggage.

Back when they were waiting at the boarding gate in B City, Han Zhuofeng saw Xie Jiling carrying a backpack.

Han Zhuofeng thought that Xie Jiling had other luggages, and the backpack was just her carry-on baggage. So, he immediately asked her, “Where is your luggage?”

“I didn’t bring a luggage,” Xie Jiling said, “This backpack is enough.”

Han Zhuofeng laughed and said, “You are the only girl I know who travels with the least amount of luggages.”

Yan Zhiqing was different. She had brought over two big luggages.

Even though they were only staying here to film for four to five days, she packed so much stuff.

This couldn’t be helped. As an actress, she had to bring a lot of skincare products to maintain her skin.

The weather at Ta Town was very dry, sandy, and windy. As such, she had to be more careful.

In addition, she was worried that she might not get used to the food here. If she were to get pimples because she couldn’t get used to the food here, that would be a horrible result.

Therefore, she brought her own food.

With everything added up, she ended up packing two big luggages.

Yan Zhiqing pushed her cart and happened to hear what Han Zhuofeng said, so she reacted with a loud humph.

What? Did her many luggages bother him?!

Yan Zhiqing humphed and left with a sulky expression.

Han Zhuofeng didn’t even try to figure out why Yan Zhiqing was angry.

Yan Zhiqing had a temper anyway. Something may have triggered her as well.

That was what Han Zhuofeng thought…

He kept his attention on Xie Jiling.

“Give me your bag. I will carry it for you,” Han Zhuofeng said.

Xie Jiling was someone who would be bothered by the little things in life.

Even the bag she was carrying was unisex and suitable for both men and women.

“It’s alright. It’s not heavy.” Plus, she was used to it.

Han Zhuofeng tried carrying it to check the weight of the bag.

When he tried, he laughed and said, “How is this not heavy?”

“Are you used to being alone?”

Xie Jiling nodded and said, “Usually, when I accept commissions, I would travel by myself for work. So, I’m already used to carrying a backpack. It’s more convenient. This time, I packed a little more things because I will be away from home for a longer period of time.”

She had packed quite a lot of clothes.

“I’m usually only out for two to three days, so I normalyl pack less,” Xie Jiling explained.

“That’s when you are by yourself and have no choice. You do have to rely on yourself, after all.” Even if she wanted to rely on someone, she didn’t have anyone for her to rely on.

Han Zhuofeng then said, “Since I am a right beside you, you can let me handle it.”

Han Zhuofeng said these words while taking Xie Jiling’s bag.

Xie Jiling had no choice but to give Han Zhuofeng her bag. She couldn’t help but mumble quietly, “You make it sound like you can always be beside me. It’s just this once. I will still have to carry it by myself next time.”

There couldn’t be any more exceptions to this.

What if she got used to people helping her carry her backpack?

She was already used to relying on herself. If she suddenly had someone to rely on for a couple times and had to continue relying on herself afterward, it would feel different.

Therefore, Xie Jiling didn’t want him to help.

“What are you saying?” Han Zhuofeng lowered his head and leaned close to her ear.

She was mumbling something he couldn’t hear.

“Nothing.” Xie Jiling paused and said, “I was just thanking you.”

“No need to be courteous.” Han Zhuofeng grinned and started walking while carrying Xie Jiling’s backpack.

Yan Zhiqing was basically a paparazzi. She gave her cart of luggages to Fang Qiaohan and quickly followed Han Zhuofeng and Xie Jiling while snapping photos from behind.

With her face covered that well, she did look like a paparazzi.

Ren Linna and the others walked behind. They winked at each other while secretly pointing at Xie Jiling and Han Zhuofeng.

Although Xie Jiling seemed like she had no idea what was going on, many signs could already be seen.

Ren Linna and the others were going with the crew and cast.

And so, Ren Linna and the others hopped onto the bus for the production crew and went with them to the hotel.

This saved them a lot of trouble.

“Lucky!” He Yuliang commented, “It just so happened that we wanted to go on a trip for fun. Who could have expected that the production crew was traveling here as well, and we managed to get a free ride without worrying about anything! This is awesome.”

Chen Xing said happily, “Yeah. By the way, I brought spicy strips. We can eat together later.”

“I brought chips.”

“I brought chocolates.”

“I brought pockey.”

“I brought spicy duck neck and spicy duck tongue at the airport in B City.”

Everyone said in succession.

The members of the production crew walking by their side heard them and were really jealous.

These people were here to sightsee!

In comparison, they were here to work. Their luggages were filled with filming-related things, and they had no space for snacks.

The members of the production crew immediately became envious of them.

However, He Yuliang and the others weren’t people who would eat by themselves.

When they were on the bus and had found their seats, they started sharing their snacks.

And so, everyone in the bus managed to obtain their own snacks.

The few of them sat at the very back.

It just so happened that the seating at the back was spacious and comfortable.

The bumpy bus ride didn’t bother them, and they didn’t feel carsick.

The seating at the very back felt like the seating in a box deck. It was very comfortable.

However, Xie Jiling couldn’t sit with them.

Han Zhuofeng had taken her bag hostage.

When Han Zhuofeng got onto the bus, he immediately found a two-person seating seat and sat down. As such, Xie Jiling had no choice but to sit with him.

When Yan Zhiqing saw this, she immediately dragged Fang Qiaohan onto the bus and sat right behind Han Zhuofeng and Xie Jiling, occupying the most advantageous location to do something.

“Did you bring snacks?” Yan Zhiqing asked Fang Qiaohan.

Since they were watching a gossip news story in real life, they had to eat some melon seeds.

“I have crab cucumber-flavored melon seeds, and it has no shells,” Fang Qiaohan said.

Yan Zhiqing nodded and said, “Sure.”

Fang Qiaohan took out a bag of melon seeds from her bag.

Yan Zhiqing tore open the bag, poured a few melon seeds into her mouth, and started to message Lu Man and Shi Xiaoya on WeChat.

The three of them had a separate group chat for the convenience of chatting with each other.

Without saying a single word, Yan Zhiqing sent the few pictures she had taken.

Lu Man had nothing to do at home.

Shi Xiaoya took this chance and gave herself a half-a-day off.

As such, the two immediately responded.

Lu Man was confused.

Shi Xiaoya was shocked.

Yan Zhiqing messaged. “Are you two stunned?”

Shi Xiaoya said, “Does Zhuofeng move that fast?”

Lu Man said, “Although he is my younger brother-in-law, I have to call him a pervert! Jiling is still very young!”

To Lu Man, Xie Jiling was her little sister.

Yan Zhiqing smiled and reminded Lu Man, “She’s an adult.”

“Don’t be anxious yet,” Yan Zhiqing said, “They didn’t kiss. Jiling was just sleeping.”
