45: Ximen Qing will be here soon

Seeing Pan Han chug three bottles in a row, Li Long completely collapsed; he had never seen anyone drink like that.

He was practically not human!

It was just outrageous!

Li Long frowned deeply and stammered, "Brother, there's no need for this."

Chen Yun hadn't drunk much, and she understood Pan Han's incantation, her face instantly changing.

Seeing the situation spiraling out of control, she quickly pulled Li Long up, ready to leave.

"Excuse us, everyone, my boyfriend has had too much to drink. I need to get him home quickly."

After speaking, she glared fiercely at Pan Han.

The classmates, seeing Li Long's state, cheered inwardly but all said aloud, "You should head back."

"Alright, everyone has had enough to drink. Let's all call it a night," the class monitor interjected to smooth things over.

People like Li Long, once their bragging was exposed, immediately turned into cowards. Seeing Chen Yun step up to give him an out, he quickly pretended to vomit and dragged Chen Yun away.

After the two left, the private room erupted in laughter.

"So Chen Yun found someone like that! What a shame."

"This Brother Long, is he really just rich?"

"Li Long's reputation wasn't great back in college. But who would have thought he'd be so trashy?"

"Pan Han, you're so cool! People like that deserve to be thoroughly humiliated."

After laughing, everyone started talking over each other, evaluating Li Long.

Pan Han smiled without speaking; people like Li Long weren't even worth his attention.

However, if they dared to show off, he would definitely put them in their place every time he saw them.

The classmates chatted for a while longer, and seeing that it was getting late, they all went home.

Pan Han took a taxi back to his shared apartment; it was almost midnight. Just as he was about to shower and go to bed, Yan Xiaoli called him on video.

"Pan Han, you're still awake?"

"Not yet! Just got back from a class reunion."

"You drank quite a bit, didn't you?"

"It was alright, about four or five catties."

"Oh, come on, why don't you just say you drank a whole barrel?"

Pan Han was incredibly frustrated; why did no one believe him when he told the truth?

"Was your filming smooth?"

"Very smooth, everyone in this crew is really nice."

"Why haven't you removed your makeup yet? Did you just finish work?"

"Yeah, we were rushing today. We have to get up early tomorrow to film the sunrise scene."

"That's good, keep it up, big star."

"Do you want to come visit? Didn't you say before that you wanted to visit the set?"

"I can! Have you filmed the intimate scenes? Which day are you filming them? I'd like to observe."

"Oh, please, when filming intimate scenes, the set has to be cleared. Besides, they've already been filmed."

"Haha, I know. Anyway, I'm free tomorrow. Give me the exact address, and I'll go take a look around."

"Okay, I'll hang up now! I'll send you the location in a bit."

Pan Han hung up the video call and went to shower first. When he came back, he saw that the location had already been sent; it wasn't far from the capital, only about 700 kilometers.

However, the M5 was at the repair shop, so he could only take the high-speed rail.

Pan Han opened his phone app and booked a high-speed rail ticket for tomorrow noon, expected to arrive around 3 PM.

Just as he was about to go to sleep, he remembered that he needed to check the monitor, so he quickly opened the screen and scrolled through it, finding that no one had been watching him recently. Only then did he feel at ease and fall asleep.

...

The next day, Pan Han was woken up by the sun around 8 AM.

After getting up, he changed his usual routine and went for a run downstairs first.

After his evolution, if he didn't exercise, he felt uncomfortable all over.

After a long run and breakfast downstairs, he returned to pack his luggage.

He found a black tracksuit and paired it with white sneakers.

Pan Han looked in the mirror and suddenly noticed that his pant legs were a bit short, turning into cropped pants.

Had he grown taller? He estimated his current height to be at least 180cm, a full 5cm taller.

"Holy crap, am I evolving from short, ugly, and poor to tall, handsome, and rich?" Pan Han couldn't help but puff out his chest and admire himself for a bit before heading out to catch the high-speed rail.

"Hello, sir, your seat is Business Class 01. Please follow me."

After checking Pan Han's ticket, the high-speed rail attendant, with a professional smile, led him to his seat.

It turned out that business class was so spacious. Pan Han had only seen it in short videos before, and this time he couldn't resist buying a ticket.

Anyway, the money was free, so he might as well be as comfortable as possible.

The high-speed rail sped along, heading straight for its destination.

After leaving the train station, he took a taxi directly to the film set.

"I'm 15 kilometers away," Pan Han sent a WeChat message to Yan Xiaoli.

"OK, I have one last scene left, so the timing is about right. You can explore the film base first, consider it your first stop," Yan Xiaoli replied.

Taking advantage of this time, Pan Han booked a five-star hotel suite closest to the film set.

"Small cities really have lower prices. The best suite is only 1299. Tonight, I'm going to do the bedroom, bathroom, living room, and makeup room with you. Hehe!" Fantasizing about the night's battle, Pan Han couldn't help but show a benevolent smile.

The film set was located in a film city. The film city covered over 5000 acres, and countless films were being shot simultaneously. It was currently a busy time for all the crews.

Pan Han wandered through the streets of the film city. He found it quite interesting to see people in all sorts of strange costumes walking around.

"Later, I'll build a film base in the apocalypse too, and remake all the good movies and TV shows from here. I'll be the male lead. Hehe," Pan Han thought to himself as he walked.

After about half an hour of wandering, Yan Xiaoli video called him, asking where he was.

Pan Han showed her the surrounding buildings: "I'm at the Wudalang Flatbread Shop!"

"I'm done filming here; I'll come find you. It's not far, so don't move, or I'll have to find you again."

"Okay, I won't move. Ximen Qing will be here soon; I have to watch this reality show."

"You haven't seen anything yet. You watch, I'll be there in a moment."

No sooner had she spoken than an ancient-costumed man, spiritual in appearance but slightly lewd, arrived at the entrance of the flatbread shop.

When Wudalang saw Ximen Qing, he shouted in a raspy voice, "Attention customers, the performance is about to begin!"

The surrounding tourists immediately gathered around, waiting to watch the performance. Pan Han also watched with great interest.

Just as he saw Ximen Qing kick Wudalang out of the shop, Pan Han felt a tap on his back.

Yan Xiaoli was already standing behind him.

Pan Han turned around and gave her a big, happy hug.

"Oh, watch my bag!" Yan Xiaoli said, but she was secretly quite happy. This was the first time someone had come to visit her on set.

"My goodness, you've grown taller? How many days has it been?" Yan Xiaoli examined Pan Han, her face full of disbelief.

"I don't know either. The elders say, 'A growth spurt at 23,' maybe they were talking about me."

Yan Xiaoli pushed Pan Han away, stood a meter back, and scrutinized him.

"Taller, handsomer, and your physique seems even better. It's amazing, what happened these past few days?"

"I've been secretly working out for a long time; you just didn't know," Pan Han hedged.

"Surprised? Unexpected?" Pan Han opened his arms, ready to give her another hug.

This time, Yan Xiaoli didn't refuse and actively embraced him.

"Tonight, I'll have to see if other parts of you have grown taller," Yan Xiaoli whispered, hiding in his arms.
