Chapter 46: Little Crystal Goes to the Film Set

  Drive Zheng's father and daughter back home, and have a more sumptuous dinner at the Zheng's house. After sitting for a while, Zhang Chengyuan is about to bid farewell and leave. But Xiaoshui hasn't seen Zhang Chengyuan for so long, and naturally doesn't want to part with him like this. She insists on following Zhang Chengyuan out to have fun.

  Zheng's father and mother couldn't argue with her, and they trusted Zhang Chengyuan very much, so they agreed to let Xiaoshuijing follow Zhang Chengyuan for half a day, but tomorrow morning she must return to accompany Zhengmu to handle the school registration formalities. As for the school she will attend, Zhengmu has already contacted it, which is the same school as Xiuyan - Kent Foreign Language School, located in Guangjin District on the south bank of the river, not far from the company, less than a 15-minute drive. It's just right that after four or five years, when Xiaoshuijing enters the company as an apprentice, she won't need to transfer schools again. Oh, I almost forgot to mention one thing, in the year 2000, Xiaoshuijing and her sister Zheng Xiuyan were both spotted by the company, but she was too young at that time, and it's estimated that she will have to wait a few more years before entering the company for training.

  Zhang Chengyuan took Xia Shuijing out, asking her where she wanted to go play. Xia Shuijing said: "Brother, last year we almost went through the entire Hanzhong City, what's left to have fun? Why don't we go take a look at your filming location? I want to see how TV dramas are filmed."

  Zhang Chengyuan didn't want to disappoint her, so he immediately called the drama team's director to ask about today's filming location and then drove with Xiaoshui to get there.

  After the TV series started filming, Zhang Chengyuan and He Zhiyun, the two leading actors, often had to follow the crew back and forth between Seoul and Gangwon-do. These days, they happened to be filming in Seoul, so Zhang Chengyuan was able to take a leave to pick someone up at the airport and also agreed to bring Xiaoshuijing to see the TV series' shooting scene.

  When they arrived on the set, the crew was filming. Ha Ji-won was also there, resting by the side of the stage, drinking mineral water and watching a few old actors perform. Jang Sung-won took Little Crystal's hand and walked towards Ha Ji-won, greeting the staff along the way in a soft voice. The staff looked at Little Crystal with curiosity, some of whom were slightly idle and bent down to have a close conversation with her for a few sentences. Before long, many people on the scene knew that Jang Sung-won had brought a little sister to visit the set today.

  Ha Ji-won also noticed Jang Sung-yoon and Little Crystal, waving at them from afar with a very friendly smile. Jang Sung-yoon knew this was for Little Crystal's sake, because normally he and Ha Ji-won were too familiar, greeting each other casually, never as politely as today. He immediately quickened his pace to walk towards her.

  As he came before her, Jang Sung-won smiled and said: "Ji-hyun sister, you've worked hard today. Are you tired? Do you want me to give you a massage?" When she saw him approaching, Ha Ji-won's manager exchanged greetings with Jang Sung-won and then walked away with a smile. After all, artists have their own circle, when they talk, managers usually avoid suspicion and leave to show respect for the artist's privacy, otherwise, how can they make friends if there is always a manager watching?

  Ha Ji-won looked at Little Crystal and asked in a soft voice: "Little sister, what's your name?"

  Xiao Shui Jing is very clever, from Zhang Cheng Yuan and He Zhi Yuan's tone of speaking, she sensed that this big sister in front of her must have a good relationship with her brother. So she enthusiastically reported her name and said: "Sister, hello! I'm so happy to see you! You can call me Shui Jing or Jing Jing, Dad and Mom are also calling me like this."

  Six or seven years old, who doesn't love this little kid? Moreover, Little Water Crystal's appearance is several times more beautiful and lovely than ordinary children. At a glance, you can tell she's a beauty in the making. Heo Jiwon couldn't help but feel delighted as she looked at her. There was a sixteen-year age difference between them, which was about the same as the age gap between mothers and daughters in ancient times. Although they still called each other sisters, at this moment, Heo Jiwon's heart naturally gave rise to a kind of maternal love. She couldn't help but hug Little Water Crystal and rub her face against the little girl's chubby cheeks, thinking that if she could give birth to such a beautiful little girl in the future, it would be great.

  Three people sat side by side on a long bench, Xiao Shuijing sat in the middle with great interest watching the shooting scene not far away. The operation of various shooting equipment made her very curious, and she stared at it without blinking for half a minute. Zhang Chengyuan and He Zhiyuan sat on either side of Xiaoshuijing, shielding her with their bodies while discussing the progress of the shoot and the gains and losses of acting.

  From a distance, the three of them looked like a warm and harmonious little family.

  Not long after, Ha Ji-won bid farewell and left to rehearse her lines with Yoon Hae-young who played her sister in the drama. As soon as she heard that Ha Ji-won was going to rehearse with other actors, Soo-jung suddenly became interested and pulled Jang Sung-won along to watch the commotion.

  In fact, the rehearsal of the play is generally quite boring, far less exciting than the TV series after it's broadcast, and even more so in the eyes of naive children. Xiaoshuijing stood not far away and watched for only a few minutes before feeling very bored, so she let Zhang Chengyuan take her to a nearby place to stroll around, and after strolling for half an hour, the two returned to the original place to watch the scene being filmed.

  At this time, Ha Ji-won and Yoon Hae-young were filming in the middle. Little Crystal looked at Ha Ji-won's outfit, which was completely different from before, and said in surprise: "Brother, is that Ji-won sister? I almost didn't recognize her, she looks like she's younger by several years, but she really looks beautiful, especially with that golden hair, shining brightly."

  "Uh, what you said makes some sense, but I think black hair is more beautiful, just like Xiujing's hair is so black and shiny, it looks especially pretty, and I love it." He gently stroked Xiaoshuijing's dark long hair.

  As an Easterner, Zhang Chengyuan felt uncomfortable seeing Korean young people dyeing their hair in various bright colors. In his opinion, black was one of the world's original two colors, mysterious and noble, beautiful and healthy. He couldn't compare Westerners' hair color to that of Easterners. Seeing Xiaoshui admiring Hwang Jini's golden hair, he immediately instilled his own correct ideas into her.

  Xiaoshuijing happily said: "Really? Then I will take good care of my hair from now on and keep it black all the time."

  After watching for a while, Xiaoshuijing said: "Brother, Zhīyuàn sister seems to be very sad and is about to cry. Is it that the sister next to her bullied her?"

  "That was acting, not real. But when acting, you have to make it look like it's real."

  Xiaoshuijingdao: "Why does Nazo-chan always pretend to be so sad, she's done it several times already."

  "Because she's not satisfied with her performance, she wants to do better. Zhī Yuàn jiě is especially serious when doing things, this point you and I both need to learn from her."

  Xiao Jingyu: "Brother, do you want me to learn from Zhiyuan Jie and become an actress too? Hmm, it seems quite interesting. Then I'll listen to brother's words and become an actress in the future."

  Children have limited understanding, and if they're not careful, they'll misinterpret what adults say. Zhang Chengyuan was at a loss for how to explain things to her, so he thought for a moment before saying: "Being an actor is very hard work. When you grow up, if you're still interested, we can talk about it then. Who knows, maybe by that time you'll want to do something else? Just like your sister - when she was little, she wanted to be...wanted to be an athlete or something, but now her greatest wish is to become a singer. No matter how much your dad tried to persuade her otherwise, it didn't work. When you grow up, what you want to do will be up to you to decide, and you won't need to listen to your brother. No matter what you want to do in the future, as long as it's not a bad thing, your brother will support you."

  Zhang Chengyuan's experience in educating children was really too shallow, and he couldn't help but say more, making Xiaoshuiying more and more confused. A pair of bright eyes stared straight at him, showing a puzzled expression, and finally said vaguely: "I know, brother, I will listen to you."
