Elder brother's garrison

Xiaobai is telling the truth.

Although Loki has indeed displayed dazzling acting skills since the start of filming, even so, actress Lu Ming, a national goddess, can still hold her own against Loki in terms of acting ability. Although they acted opposite each other for an entire afternoon, from the perspective of Xiaobai off-screen, Lu Ming was never overshadowed by Loki's acting ability from beginning to end. Her presence still firmly controlled the center of the stage, exuding the aura of a protagonist from the inside out.

"I can't... I can't do that free solo climbing." After hearing Xiaobai's words, Lu Ming didn't show any pride. Instead, he lowered his head and said softly.

"There's nothing we can do about it. Miss Luming is just a human after all. In terms of physical abilities, she can't compare to Loki, who is a ship girl," Xiaobai said with a smile. "After all, Loki has ship equipment."

"..." Lu Ming listened silently to Xiao Bai's words, his eyes revealing a complicated expression.

"Miss Lu Ming?" Xiao Bai looked at Lu Ming but didn't speak, and whispered a reminder.

“!” Lu Ming looked up and came back to his senses.

Just then, the sound of champagne being popped came from Director Zhang's crew behind Xiaobai.

Xiao Bai and Lu Ming looked over and saw Director Zhang excitedly holding a bottle of champagne that was spraying continuously, while shouting to the people around him.

"Listen up, everyone! I'm treating you all to a big meal today!!"

“ohhhhhh————!!!”

The crew members made excited noises.

Chapter 2279 Fans are terrifying

There's nothing more blissful than enjoying a delicious, relaxing meal after a long day of hard work.

The crew excitedly tossed Director Zhang into the air and cheered.

"Director Zhang, I want to eat lobster!"

"Director Zhang, I want to eat barbecue!"

"Director Zhang, I want to eat abalone!"

"Director Zhang, sob sob—"

……

Director Zhang's figure was tossed up and down by the crew, who were all extremely excited.

Lu Ming withdrew his gaze.

Lu Ming looked at Xiao Bai's profile. She opened her mouth, but after seeing Xiao Bai's smile, she seemed to remember something and slowly closed it again, feeling lost.

Lu Ming lowered his head slightly.

"It's really lively on set! Director Zhang said he's treating the whole crew to a big meal," Xiaobai said with a smile as she turned to Luming.

"Hmm..." Lu Ming nodded, then looked at Xiao Bai, "Miss Lu Lin... are you going?"

"Huh? Where to?"

"Let's have a big meal."

"I'm not a staff member, how could I possibly go?" Xiaobai spread his hands and said innocently, "Besides, I just earned a lot of money from Director Zhang's film and television fees, how could I possibly freeload a meal from him?"

“…” Lu Ming blinked.

"Miss Lu Ming, you're an actress, so you're also a staff member, right? Are you going?" Xiao Bai asked back.

"..." Lu Ming fell into deep thought. She looked at the jubilant scene on the film set, then turned her gaze back to Xiao Bai. Her eyes hardened, and she shook her head. "I'm not going."

"It seems we'll have to figure out how to feed ourselves then."

"I—" Lu Ming quickly interjected as soon as he saw Xiao Bai stop speaking, "I know!"

"Huh? What do you know?"

"I know a great restaurant!" Lu Ming quickly told Xiao Bai. But then she seemed to realize she'd been a bit too eager, her excited tone pausing, and her voice softened. "Want to... go check it out together..."

"Huh?" Xiaobai was stunned, staring blankly at Luming. "Uh... Miss Luming?"

"Would you like to... have dinner together?" Lu Ming said softly, his hands nervously clasped together.

Although Lu Ming is human, she possesses beauty that rivals that of ship girls. At this moment, after extending the invitation, her expression was hesitant, a mixture of restraint and initiative, making her unforgettable like a hopeful young girl.

A new event has occurred!

The big star wants to treat me to dinner!

She's a current national goddess-level superstar!

I was suddenly invited by such a high-profile girl?

Xiao Bai's mind was racing.

On Lu Ming's end, after making the invitation to dinner, he waited cautiously for Xiao Bai's response.

Lu Ming seemed very afraid of being rejected by Xiao Bai.

Fortunately, Xiao Bai never disappoints when invited by pretty girls.

Little White quickly showed an interested smile to Lu Ming.

"What? We'll have dinner together? Sure!" Xiaobai nodded with a smile. "A restaurant that someone like Miss Luming likes must have really good food, right?"

"Ah..." Lu Ming reached out to Xiao Bai, "Then... let's do it together later..."

"Is everything alright with Miss Lu Ming's agent?"

“My agent doesn’t allow me to have close relationships with men… but Miss Lu Lin, you are a girl, so it’s okay…” Lu Ming smiled.

That's excellent.

……

Outside the scenic area gate.

The fans who had been chanting slogans all day at the entrance of the scenic area looked tired and their voices were a little hoarse.

"Sigh... Why hasn't Miss Luming come out to see us yet..."

"We've been shouting all day, and our voices are hoarse."

"Miss Luming, sob sob... I really want to see Miss Luming..."

"Without Miss Luming, my life would be devoid of light..."

"..."

The fans' enthusiasm seemed to have waned because they hadn't seen the people they wanted to see all day.

Just then, a minivan drove out of the scenic area.

The fans gathered at the entrance of the scenic area widened their eyes as soon as they saw the van, waving their glow sticks and becoming excited once again.

As the van drove out of the scenic area, enthusiastic fans swarmed around it, and the crowd, like a black tide, instantly surrounded the van.

"Miss Lu Ming————"

"Miss Lu Ming, come out here!"

The crowd was excited.

Finally, the van opened amidst everyone's expectant gazes.

However, when the fans looked excitedly into the van, they did not find Lu Ming inside.

The van was filled with bottled water and bread, as well as several large bags of colorful doll ornaments.

A staff member carrying bread and bottled water shouted to the fans in front of him.

"Ms. Lu Ming is still filming at the scenic area! She was worried you'd be thirsty waiting outside, so she asked me to bring you some water and food!" The staff picked up bottled water and bread and continued shouting, "Ms. Lu Ming also said that it's already dark, so you should go back early and be careful. There are also some dolls signed by Ms. Lu Ming here, but only a few hundred—"

The staff member hadn't finished speaking.

The sea of ​​fans in front of them erupted in cheers like a tsunami.

"Miss Lu Ming! So kind-hearted! She cares about us!!"

"Mom! I didn't follow the wrong star, she really deserves it!!"

"There's even bread and water! Please, please give me some! I'll treasure it until the world ends!!!"

"I want a doll! I want a doll! I want a doll!!"

The frenzied fans swarmed forward and, amidst the staff's cries of distress, quickly climbed into the car.

The van swayed precariously amidst the crowd, nearly tipping over.

Just as Lu Ming's fans were frantically scrambling for souvenirs in front of the van, several figures darted out from the gaps in the crowd at the entrance of the scenic area and quickly disappeared from the crowd.

Xiao Bai, Loki, and Lu Ming, all wearing masks and sunglasses, kept running towards an open space outside the scenic area.

"Is this the power of fans? It's terrifying." Xiaobai sighed with lingering fear as she listened to the voices of the crowd behind her.

"There's a car ahead!" Lu Ming said, pointing in a direction while holding Xiao Bai's hand.

"oh oh!"

After running for about ten minutes, Xiaobai and his two companions finally spotted a parked off-road vehicle in an open area some distance from the scenic spot.

Outside the SUV, a driver who looked to be in his forties or fifties was squatting on the ground eating instant noodles.

Seeing Xiaobai and the other two running over, the driver stood up and looked at them with a puzzled expression.

"It's me!" Lu Ming said as he ran, taking off his mask and waving to the driver.

"Oh my! Miss Lu Ming, why are you out alone! Where's your manager??" The driver stared wide-eyed at Lu Ming.

"He's on set, let's go!" Lu Ming ran up to the driver, patted him on the shoulder, quickly opened the back door of the SUV and climbed in. Then he turned around and pulled Xiao Bai and Loki into the car together.

The driver, holding his instant noodles, was at a loss for what to do. He stood there, looking at the deer chirping in the carriage.

"Miss Lu Ming, you...you're putting me in a difficult position. At least you should wait for the manager to come along..." The driver looked conflicted.

"There are fans chasing us!" Lu Ming quickly said.

"Oh my god!! That's a big deal!" The driver was terrified when he heard Lu Ming's words. It was as if he had remembered some unbearable past events. He didn't care about whether there was an agent or not, and hurriedly opened the driver's side door and ran in, starting the engine in a few quick steps.

Buzz————

The SUV roared to life, swerved, and sped off down the road.

Inside the SUV, Lu Ming knelt in the back seat, leaning his upper body on the backrest as he watched the scenery recede into the distance, and let out a long sigh.

The fans did not catch up.

Rather, most fans were so busy grabbing Lu Ming's souvenirs that they didn't even notice Lu Ming and Little White Loki leaving.

"Miss Lu Ming, let me tell you, if the agency investigates, I, a mere driver, can't afford the responsibility..." The driver, while skillfully controlling the steering wheel, said to Lu Ming with a wronged expression.

"Okay, I'll explain later." Lu Ming turned around and thanked the driver in the car seat.

"Sigh...you'd better tell me sooner, you know how temperamental the agent is..." The driver said, his shoulders trembling and his burly body shrinking slightly.

Little White and Loki, standing to the side, watched the deer cry.

"Miss Lu Ming...you...you wouldn't still be hiding it from your manager..."

"Ah."

"Didn't you say that your agent only opposes (harmonious) relationships with the opposite sex?"

“...Actually, same-sex (harmonious) relationships...also require prior application,” Lu Ming replied, bowing his head.

"Oh? Then just apply for it."

“No, he’ll come along,” Lu Ming shook his head. “And the application process takes a long time.”

"...Being a celebrity is really not easy." Xiaobai looked at the unusually frustrated expression on Lu Ming's face and smiled helplessly. She turned to the driver in the driver's seat, "Hmm...Is this driver...someone from your entertainment company, Miss Lu Ming?"

“Yes, he’s in charge of driving.” Lu Ming nodded. “The fans are so enthusiastic that it’s hard for them to leave, so he always parks nearby beforehand for each event, and we sneak out before he leaves.”

"I see," Xiaobai exclaimed.

"Actually, not all celebrities are like Miss Luming." The driver glanced at Xiaobai and Loki in the rearview mirror and sighed. "Miss Luming is quite special. As you know, Miss Luming's popularity... is just too high, ridiculously high. Every time she goes to an event, the number of fans can stretch from one end of the street to the other! I remember once when I went out to attend an entertainment event, good heavens, those fans almost tore my car apart. Ever since then, I've been terrified of fans!"

"..."

Chapter 2280 Lu Ming's Shop

The power of fans is immense, and this is especially evident in Ms. Lu Ming's case.

Seeing the driver's expression of utter dismay, Xiaobai could only give an awkward smile.

The SUV drove away from the scenic area and back to the Yuncheng Road section surrounded by bustling high-rise buildings. It was a weekday afternoon, and there weren't as many pedestrians on the road as during rush hour. Lu Ming, inside the car, guided the driver to pull over to the edge of a less crowded road, where he skillfully pulled out a winter hat, mask, sunglasses, and other items from under the seat.
