The daily life of the crew of "Beasts".

Chapter 250 Face or Gold?

What...what did he just miss...? Gold! Money! It slipped through his fingers in the blink of an eye!!

Meimei turned her head slowly, gazing at the gold and jade in the three Pixiu claws.

Is it too late to back out now? No! There's another way...

……

Half an hour after this incident,

While finishing off the food, Bai Jie also took a couple of bites of Jin Yu.

Then, as he was wiggling his little paws, he suddenly felt something touch him. He instinctively looked down and was immediately startled, letting out a scream.

Meimei squatted under the table in front of him, staring longingly at the ground. Her posture and position made Bai Jie imagine some strange scenes.

"What are you doing?!"

Meimei raised her head, her eyes showing some confusion and struggle, which made the feeling even stranger!

"I...I'll check if any crumbs fell on the floor while you were eating?"

Faced with a choice between saving face and gold, he hesitated for a moment, but ultimately chose gold.

Upon hearing this answer, Bai Jie couldn't keep a straight face for a moment. "You...you can't be serious, can you?!"

Sitting opposite him, Puss in Boots suddenly slapped his thigh, his eyes shining.

Yes! How come she didn't think of that? Meimei, you're a genius!

Before Bai Jie could say anything to Mei Mei, he saw another black cat crawling under the table. His paw trembled and he almost dropped his chopsticks.

"Director, director, what brings you here too?!"

Xiaohang slapped his face and leaned back forcefully, unable to bear looking at the two guys.

The other two Pixiu stopped eating and stared blankly at them.

Tianlu suddenly felt a pang of regret. Had he really lowered his standards by taking on this underling?

Meimei felt awkward and uncomfortable being stung, but for the sake of the gold, he persevered and didn't move.

Puss in Boots didn't move. Even if he couldn't find any scraps today, he would still be willing to give Bai Jie a piece if he couldn't stand it. Anyway, he didn't care about saving face.

The dinner party ended in farce, and in the end, Meimei and Puss in Boots were dragged away by Xiaohang with a dark face, one paw at a time. The three brothers watched from behind with different expressions.

The two groups of beasts separated at the hotel entrance. Bai Jie was quickly taken away from the crowded downtown area by Tian Lu, who had transformed into human form and covered him with his clothes.

……

The three Pixiu hid their way back to the mountains. Bai Jie pushed open the door, relaxed, and jumped into the sofa in a few steps.

He had only been lying down for two minutes when his phone pinged. He picked it up and saw a message from Puss in Boots.

[Do you have any thoughts on the plot? Could you give me some suggestions?]

I just got home! Do you know how tiring it is to come all this way hiding your identity?!

Bai Jie was filled with grief and indignation, then silently typed out the original plot he remembered and sent it over.

Puss in Boots gave a thumbs up.

He glanced at it and immediately swiped away to open the short video.

Sometimes, even ordinary beasts possess the superpower of controlling time. For example, when studying, a second feels like an eternity; when watching videos, the first glance might be "It's only 9 o'clock, I can play for another hour," but the second page is "It's 11 o'clock?!"

Crunch-!

"I'm back!"

The door was pushed open, and the first thing Si Bu Xiang did upon entering was to shout joyfully. Then he was met with three resentful gazes, even from Bi Xie, who had spoken well of him in the elevator.

"Huh? What's wrong with the plum blossom, sun, and blue circle?" He blinked his innocent, pure eyes.

“It’s nothing,” Pixie said, taking off his apron and throwing it onto a chair before going into the kitchen to serve the dishes.

Tianlu glared at him, but before he could say anything, he quickly followed him inside. The aroma was so strong that he wanted to be the first to taste it.

"Hey, what's going on? Did I do something wrong?" The Four-Faced Beast was completely confused.

"Little Sun, why are Plum Blossom and Blue Circle suddenly angry?" Both Pixiu entered the kitchen, and he looked around before asking Bai Jie, who was sitting near the sofa, in a low voice.

Bai Jie tilted his head and looked at him, then hummed and recounted what had happened.

"Huh? Huh?!" The Four-Faced Beast's eyes widened. "I was so focused on how to escape from Father that I forgot about this!"

Bai Jie stared back at him with wide eyes, "Wait a minute, was that just an excuse you made up, or were you really busy?!"

Tianlu happened to be bringing out the food at that moment. Upon hearing this conversation, he was so angry that he raised his paw and pointed at the Four-Faced Beast, muttering "you, you, you" for a long time. Finally, he stomped his foot and looked at Bixie.

"Don't complain that you're disturbing him!"

It wasn't mentioned that it could ward off evil spirits.

"Hey, hey, hey, Plum Blossom, let me explain!"

On the second day,

Last night, I ate so much that I had to comfort the back view. Maybe then I would have eaten less. The four-legged creature obediently carried three Pixiu on its back as it went out.

"Plum Blossom, are you going to school or the film set today?"

Bixie, braving the strong winds high in the sky, unconsciously lowered his body to reduce wind resistance, saying, "Film crew."

"Alright, it's done!"

The four-legged creature, riding on auspicious clouds, suddenly accelerated, a fierce wind whipping against its body.

Bai Jie instinctively squinted. The scenery below rushed by, and after breaking through several white clouds, they arrived at the mountain peak where they usually filmed.

Amidst the green hills and clear waters, a small black dot appeared on the mountain path. The Four-Unlikes flew through the air, and Tianlu, with his sharp eyes, immediately recognized the beast below.

"It's Walnut and his group, four different types, let's go down and take a look."

"okay."

The gust of wind stopped, and the Four-Faced Beast maneuvered itself, turning and swooping down. The three Pixiu instinctively clung to her. With a slight shift in weight, they landed steadily on the ground.

In front of them stood Oleander, carrying walnuts, and Shota, their three faces staring at them in surprise.

"Hi, what a coincidence, to run into you all here." The four-faced creature greeted him in a friendly manner.

……

The camera pans to the set.

Meimei arrived here early with Xiaohang and was being led around by the two people in charge of the film crew.

He watched with curiosity as the film set bustled with activity, a patch of withered grass being trampled on.

A deer-themed shop and a warehouse stand on a relatively flat area, with staff moving in and out to carry the necessary equipment and props.

After watching for a long time, until the novelty wore off, some couldn't help but ask Wu Emao curiously, "Director, did you call me here to start filming today? What role do I play?"

Puss in Boots had been waiting for him to say that, and he pulled out the script from his pocket and handed it to him.

"These are your scenes, take a look for yourself. I stayed up all night working on them, just to do a test shoot. If it goes well, we'll start the actual filming in a couple of days."

"Ah, director, you've worked so hard. I'll definitely do my best!" Mei Mei was flattered as she accepted the script.

He opened it and looked at it.

The text describes a fox spirit who schemes to infiltrate the mythical beast circle. She fails to buy groceries, fails to become a child, and ultimately stays as a working fox.

Later, they discovered that the four-character name given to them by the fortune teller, which they were so proud of, was actually not special at all, and they couldn't even remember the other mythical creatures in the shop.

As Meimei watched, the more she looked, the more she felt that the characters in the story were like herself. It seemed like she was capable of doing all of those things.

They're not exactly similar, they're practically identical!

He slowly closed the script, looked up and stared intently at Puss in Boots, "Director..."

"Ok?"

"Have we known each other before?" he asked, posing a probing question.

Puss in Boots was taken aback at first, then his expression changed drastically and he took two steps back. Xiaohang picked up the trident and stared at him with two cautious eyes.

Kid, something's off with you!!

Mei Mei paused for a moment, then hurriedly explained, "Oh no, no! I wasn't hitting on anyone! It's just that the script describes me so much that I wonder if the director knew me before?"

Upon hearing this, the two beasts lowered their guard. Puss in Boots coughed twice and walked back, pretending not to care. She glanced at the script and said with a puzzled look.

"Is it really similar?"

Xiaohang also took a look. Based on what his relative had mentioned about Meimei during their casual conversation, and what he had learned over the past few days, he found that she really did look alike.

Especially the part about names, the little fox really did have a similar experience.

"Yes, really." Meimei nodded seriously.

Puss in Boots looked at the other person's expression, which was a mixture of suspicion, recollection, and contemplation. After a moment's consideration, she decided to simply reveal the source of the idea.

"Actually, it was all Bai Jie who gave me the inspiration. I just made some minor adjustments based on his suggestions."

"Huh?" Mei Mei scratched her finger, even more confused. "So, the sugar daddy knew me before?"

"I don't know, you should ask him. He should be here soon." Puss in Boots spread his paws.

far away.

The four-legged creature and the oleander each carried five small ones on their backs. As they walked and chatted, the topic gradually shifted to Meimei, the newcomer to the film crew.

"The crew has a new beast? How come Walnut didn't know?" Little Mengji asked, peeking out from under his uncle's blanket.

"He only got in through the back door yesterday, and I even thought he'd become a lackey." Recalling the fox's embarrassing performance yesterday, Tianlu's lips curled into a deep disgust.

"He's such a disgrace to me! He actually crawled under the table to pick up the leftover gold and jade we ate."

All the beasts stared at him, each one hesitant to speak.

You're a beast capable of doing the same thing, aren't you?

"Hey, why are you looking at me like that?" Tianlu looked around at his brothers and friends and asked belatedly.

Half a minute later, he pointed at himself with a look of utter disbelief, "Is that how you all see me?!"

"Ah."

The beasts nodded.

Tianlu took a deep breath, patted Baijie's shoulder, and stood up. After two seconds of preparation... his spine slumped and all his breath escaped; he found himself powerless to refute.

"Alright, little blue circle, that's just how you are. You and your little brother are a good match." Si Bu Xiang comforted him. Before Tian Lu exploded, he saw Puss in Boots and the other two beasts on set let out a loud shout.

"Hey, look! The director and the others are over there. Is that fox with the little blue circle your little brother?"

Tianlu's pent-up anger was interrupted, and he subconsciously looked over.

At the same time, they were also seen.

Meimei took a step forward with the script in her hand, then hesitated and stopped.

How will the client respond? Would it be impolite to ask directly? What if they find out something?

While he hesitated, a group of beasts had already arrived in front of him. Meimei mustered up her courage and raised the script, but before she could speak, Walnut saw it and exclaimed in surprise.

"Mwah?! You're the new actor? Walnut, Walnut knows you!"

"what?"
