Chapter 104: Chapter 104: Taking the Bus

The fans grouped in tens and urged the kids to strike poses.

The most cooperative one was the little sister.

She took the most photos and even helped everyone pose: “Sister Xiao Miao, make a heart shape with your cheek, bend your finger a bit, place it to the side, and smile like it’s a heart. And then pout your lips; just pucker up and you’re done.”

Mao Xiaomiao looked pained.

What the heck!

Isn’t there just one photo pose in the world?

Is she the only one who only knows how to make a “yay”?”

“This pose is so ugly!”

Chu Xijin silently nodded: “It’s a bit peculiar.”

He was truly expressing his confusion in a tactful way because, in his world, just standing and smiling is about enough. Last time he shot a commercial, they gave him a storyline and let him showcase the product and his personal aura more, not like now where he has to pout.

Oh, dear, it’s so disgusting.

If I’d known, I wouldn’t have said much.

“You guys are really too much! You don’t get it but don’t criticize it; these poses are really popular, many celebrities do it, hurry up and pose!” the little sister shouted at them with her hands on her hips.

The four immediately cooperated obediently.

Whatever she said, they did.

The scene turned into a laugh riot, because apart from Lin Yuxian, everyone looked very stiff when pouting.

Chu Xijin and Mao Xiaomiao were especially so.

Both wanted to flee the place, and Chu Xijin spoke up multiple times: “Actually, we can switch to another pose, making a heart is nice too.”

Compared to pouting, he found making a heart way kinder.

“No, one should keep their word.”

The fans refused.

Chu Xijin looked devoid of life, and a series of actions followed that he had never tried.

For example: reaching out with an open mouth, poking his face with his fingers, etc.

Chu Xijin numbly followed the poses.

Mao Xiaomiao quietly donned the sunglasses hanging around her neckline, which was originally an accessory her aunt matched with her outfit, unexpectedly becoming her refuge tool now.

Xiao Jin, standing beside her, was super envious.

If he’d known he would have prepared such sunglasses too.

[Out of the five, Xiao Miao looks the coolest!]

[Xiao Miao has always been a cool girl; she even posted her skateboarding and parkour videos on Weibo before, absolutely cool!]

[Xiao Miao is cool, but her expressions need to be a little brighter, huh.]

…

After the photo session, the fans left as agreed, and the scene finally returned to peace. The bus finally arrived, and Chu Xijin paid five yuan, saying to the driver: “We’re five little kids, is it half-price?”

“Yes, it is,” the driver nodded affectionately.

There were still seats available inside the bus, and the five kids sat together at about the same spot, all very amazed as it was the first time for all of them riding a bus. The initial feeling the bus gave them was, wow, it’s huge!

Chu Xijin found the bus didn’t even smell bad and saved money!

His mood instantly improved.

The elderly on the bus looked at these five kids and liked them very much.

Each one of them gazed lovingly, and an elderly lady sitting in front of Xiao Jin smiled and asked him: “Are you a little star? I’ve seen your commercials, thought you were good-looking while watching the ad and now seeing you in person, even more, good-looking.”

“Thank you, granny, I’m not a celebrity; it’s just because my aunt got a lot of attention, and because people pay attention to my aunt, they also pay attention to me. I did the commercial because my aunt took me to a gathering, and the brand director liked me, so I shot it. I’m just a model or maybe an internet celebrity without any works,” Chu Xijin earnestly explained.

According to his understanding, a star is someone who can sing or act, neither of which he is very good at, and he doesn’t have a representative work, so he wouldn’t call himself a star.

“Is that so,” the elderly lady nodded, “So do you want to be a star later on?”

“Not sure, but if possible, I still wish to study well and get into a good university,” Chu Xijin has a regard for diplomas.

In his view, being the top scholar in the province is equivalent to being able to take the imperial exam, so he also wants to study hard, read more books, and aim for the provincial top spot in the future.

“A good education is important, my granddaughter was the provincial top scholar, just graduated this year and is now starting a business,” said the elderly lady calmly.

“So impressive!” Chu Xijin exclaimed.

The elderly lady waved her hand and took out cookies and milk from her canvas bag for them, “Try these, they taste good and are healthy.”

“Thank you, granny, but we’ve already eaten rice noodles just now and aren’t hungry, you should keep them for yourself,” Chu Xijin declined politely.

“Sluuurp—”

Xiong Zunxiang quickly wiped his drool, seeing Xiao Jin look over, he shrank back.

[Hahaha…]

[Our little traitor.]

[Xiong Zunxiang: You might not be hungry, but I am!]

[He really has a craving, so cute.]

…

The elderly lady chuckled loudly, “Eat up, it’s okay, you’re filming a show anyway, capturing me won’t harm you, but eat slower, and don’t drink the milk, it’s easy to vomit on the bus.”

“Alright, thank you, granny.”

Xiong Zunxiang accepted, tore open the bread wrapper, and took a giant bite, eating most of the bread in one go.

Chu Xijin rubbed his forehead, Brother Xiangxiang is really easily tempted, “Later on wherever you go, you must wear an electronic watch, best to have a locator installed.”

“Oh, got it!”
