52.1 - The Panda Cub Bows For Love

Chapter 52: Drunk Panda When Crane Xian came out of the kitchen, she saw Jingdan laughing while drinking milk, causing her steps to pause momentarily. Could it be that she's been possessed? Luckily, Jingdan quickly returned to normal, otherwise Crane Xian would have considered taking her back home again to have Madam Crane take a look at her. After finishing breakfast, the two of them arrived at the company together. As soon as they got there, Jingdan grabbed Hutu and started handing over all her work to her. Hutu: "...Should I say it or not? Dug a pit for myself." She yawned wearily, looking tired. After being in the demon business for so many years, she never expected to be scolded to the point where she couldn't lift her head by someone else, and she couldn't even argue back! It was indeed because she blabbed to Jingdan about liking Crane Xian. Now the main character had come knocking at her door, and she felt like a sitting duck. Hutu was annoyed. Did she look weak? Xuyu could be all happy and vibrant in front of Crane Xian, look like she was about to die of anger in front of Jingdan, so why was she so tough in front of her? Just because she had been pushed down by her a couple of times before? Damn it, if she didn't have a new love now and didn't want to do anything that would hurt her new love, she would make Xuyu pay for her arrogant attitude! How dare she treat her differently like this! Thinking about the new love made her helpless. Last night, Xuyu brought her over and cursed her, causing her to miss the date with the new love. The new love was also a tough person, so she blocked her directly. Thinking about this made her angry. If it weren't for Xuyu, would she have made such a mess of things! "Snap out of it!" Jingdan slapped her shoulder. Hutu: "...Can you not use the tone of those exorcists from TV series?" Looking at the pile of work that had been handed over to her, she truly felt like she had brought it upon herself, but she couldn't give up the chance for Jingdan to appear on a show! She could only resign herself to it and follow Jingdan to hand over her work. Only then did she realize that Jingdan's work was not easy either. Jingdan did have some talent for business and management. Crane Xian went to train those artists on etiquette again. After handing over the work, Hutu suddenly started gossiping, "Now that you live together, do you feel any differences?" At first, when she saw Crane Xian move into Jingdan's house, she thought Crane Xian was really sneaky, using such a lame reason to deceive Jingdan. But after seeing the videos posted by some private fans online about entering Crane Xian's house, she realized she had been narrow-minded. Who was Crane Xian! How could she think like that about her! But even though Crane Xian had moved into Jingdan's house, she still felt that Crane Xian had some ulterior motives. After all, with Crane Xian not under much pressure from managing her dance troupe, she could rent a place, stay at a hotel, or come to her place. Why did she have to move to Jingdan's place? She felt that Crane Xian must want to gain an advantage through proximity! She just didn't know if she had achieved that advantage. Jingdan looked at her strangely. How could there be any difference for her and Crane Xian living together? She used to live alone, and now there was one more person? Seeing Jingdan's eyes, Hutu fell silent, and finally decided that silence is golden, starting to mourn for Crane Xian. Could that girl deceive anyone in her life? Without Hutu trying to trip them up, even just Jingdan alone was an insurmountable mountain. Jingdan didn't know what Hutu thought of her. After finishing handing over all the work, she decisively left, going downstairs to find Crane Xian. Hutu: "...But seeing Jingdan like this made Hutu think Crane Xian might have some hope." --- Jingdan arrived outside the training room and saw Crane Xian pointing out the posture issues of those artists with a small bamboo stick. The sight of her being so serious made Jingdan slightly trance-like. Crane Xian looked so charming when she worked seriously. No wonder they say people who work diligently are the most attractive. Crane Xian was indeed very charming at the moment. Jingdan regretted it a little. If Crane Xian didn't mind acting in movies or TV dramas, with her charming qualities, she would definitely be even more popular! At that moment, Jingdan didn't realize that being an actress might involve things like kissing scenes or bed scenes. If she had realized it, perhaps she would have thought she was foolish for thinking that way before. She hadn't even tasted jelly yet, so why should others get to taste it under the pretext of work? Crane Xian noticed Jingdan outside, but since the class was halfway through, she couldn't just leave them and had to continue teaching patiently. It was only after almost the end of the class that she announced the end and walked towards Jingdan's direction. "So you finished handing over the work so quickly?" Whenever Crane Xian saw Jingdan, she couldn't help but have a smile on her face, her eyes looking at her as if they naturally carried softness. Jingdan tilted her head and reached out to tuck a strand of hair behind Crane Xian's ear, then said seriously, "Yes, Hutu is very clever!" Oh, Crane Xian looked at her surprisingly. She didn't expect her to praise Hutu as clever. Would Hutu be moved to tears if she found out? She chuckled at her own thoughts. Perhaps staying with Jingdan for a long time had influenced her thinking to become a bit whimsical. "Well, after another class, I'll be able to finish, and then we can go back early to tidy up things we need for tomorrow's show." Upon hearing that, Jingdan obediently nodded and said, "I'll wait for you here then." Crane Xian lightly laughed, "Okay." Perhaps because they were under Jingdan's watchful eyes, those artists were afraid of making mistakes in front of their boss, eager to do well to avoid a bad impression. This actually saved Crane Xian a lot of energy. She even wondered if it would be a good idea to have Jingdan come by more often in the future. After the training ended and informing Hutu, the two of them went home straightforwardly. They thought that things wouldn't be as convenient after they appeared on the show, so they went to buy groceries together again, deciding to make a more lavish meal tonight, like a pre-apocalyptic revelry. This time, they prepared a lot of food, and to Crane Xian's surprise, Jingdan even brought out some wine. Crane Xian looked at the bottle of red wine in Jingdan's hand, slightly puzzled, "What are you going to do with it?" Could it be that she wanted to drink? But with her low alcohol tolerance, what would happen if she got drunk? "Don't you like this?" Jingdan was confused. She often saw Crane Xian enjoying a few drinks by herself. Every time she saw Crane Xian drinking alone, she had the urge to join her. But recalling her embarrassing experience of getting drunk in the past, she was afraid of doing something embarrassing if she got drunk again. Crane Xian chuckled at herself, perhaps being influenced by Jingdan after spending so much time together, her thoughts had become a bit outlandish. "Yeah, I'll be done with another class soon. Then we can go home and tidy up the things we'll need for the show tomorrow." Upon hearing that, Jingdan nodded obediently and said, "I'll wait for you here." Crane Xian lightly chuckled, "Okay." Perhaps with Jingdan watching, the artists were afraid of making mistakes in front of her, trying harder to impress her. This actually saved Crane Xian a lot of energy. She even began to consider having Jingdan come by more often in the future. After the training session, having informed Hutu, the two of them straightforwardly went home, thinking that things might not be as convenient after they appeared on the show. So, they went grocery shopping together again, deciding to prepare a more sumptuous meal tonight, feeling a bit like pre-enjoying the last feast before the apocalypse. This time, they prepared plenty of food, and to Crane Xian's surprise, Jingdan even took out some wine. Crane Xian looked at the bottle of red wine in Jingdan's hand, a little puzzled, "What are you going to do with it?" Isn't she suddenly interested in drinking? But given her low alcohol tolerance, what if she got drunk? "Don't you like this?" Jingdan seemed puzzled. She often saw Crane Xian drinking a little by herself. Each time she did, she felt like joining her. But remembering her own embarrassing drunken experiences in the past, she was afraid she might do something silly if she got drunk again. Crane Xian shrugged, somewhat nonplussed, and replied, "I like it, but you can't drink." "No! I want to drink!" Jingdan said sternly, "I'm an adult now, adults can drink!" Earlier, her aunt didn't let her apply makeup or drink because she was too young, but now she was an adult. She had already put on makeup, so now drinking should also be on the list! Crane Xian was speechless, watching her serious expression. She checked, "Are you sure?" Jingdan nodded vigorously. "Yes! Moreover, I plan to drink more in the future! I've heard people say that alcohol tolerance is something you develop. Once I improve my tolerance, I won't have to worry about others giving me alcohol to drink!" She was a demon, yet she was afraid of alcohol; it was a real shame! Crane Xian: "...it makes some sense, yet it doesn't make much sense either." She smiled wryly and said, "Alright, but you can't drink too much." Since they were at home and she was with her, she felt that it wouldn't cause any trouble if Jingdan drank a bit. Crane Xian paused her drinking motion, looking up at Jingdan, whose eyes were already slightly blurry, guessing that she was probably a bit tipsy. For this reason, she fell silent for a moment, knowing that Jingdan couldn't handle alcohol well, but she didn't expect it to be to this extent. "No more, you can't drink anymore," Crane Xian shook her head, refusing. If this girl drank too much later, what if she felt unwell again? Jingdan's brows furrowed even tighter, facing Crane Xian's rejection, looking somewhat aggrieved, "I want to drink! I still want to drink!" She had only just tasted a bit of the flavor, why couldn't she drink more? Crane Xian: "..."
