IPVS Chapter 38.6

However, until the day when her part was over, An An still didn’t find any clues.

She didn’t even understand the meaning of ‘spy’.

Her mother was too busy and had no time to answer her questions, so the little dumpling had to ask He Qisheng.

During this period, An An got along well with him.

First, when Mo Sui was acting, she would always move a small stool and sit next to the director uncle to watch her mother’s performance with him.

Second, after Zhou Mingmin’s several acts of protecting the child, Director He would always keep a kind smile in front of An An.

Moreover, there were so many children on the set, but many of them immediately lowered their heads when they stood in front of He Qisheng and did not even dare to talk to him.

It would be fine if it happened once or twice, but after a long time, he decided to avoid these troubles and change himself, starting with shaving.

From then on, He Qisheng was no longer the scary uncle in the eyes of the children.

“Uncle Director, what is a spy¹眼线, yǎn​xiàn: informer / snitch / spy / scout / (cosmetics) eyeliner?” An An approached Director He and asked in a low voice.

He Qisheng was busy. When he heard the voice, he turned to look at the child.

The child had snow-white skin and delicate and beautiful facial features. She was on the set for nearly ten days and was not noisy at all.

No matter how much he hated children, he couldn’t lose his temper with her.

It was just that he was really busy now, so he waved his hand and perfunctorily said, “Go ask the makeup artist.”

An An nodded obediently and ran to ask the makeup artist with her short legs.

The makeup artist patiently pulled her eyelids and told her: “Eyeliner is a long line. After drawing it, your eyes will be big and beautiful. You see, if you draw it on the inner eyelid, it’s called the inner eyeliner. If you draw it close to the root of the eyelashes but above the root, it’s called the outer eyeliner. But, An An, you can’t draw it because you’re still young. Eyeliner pencils and liquid eyeliners may hurt your eyes.”

The little dumpling proudly said: “Makeup artist sister, An An doesn’t need to draw eyeliner because An An herself is a small eyeliner!”

After that, she ran away again.

The makeup artist didn’t understand and asked the colleague next to her: “Do you know what she meant by this?”

The colleague shrugged: “I don’t know. Children always talk nonsense.”

The makeup artist was full of doubts.

No, she always felt that things were not that simple!

In the afternoon, An An continued to sit on the small stool, holding her chin with both hands, thinking about a new question.

Was she inner eyeliner or outer eyeliner?

The child’s expression was too serious, which attracted He Qisheng’s attention.

Suddenly, he began to reflect on himself.

Was it because his tone was too impatient in the morning, which hurt her little self-esteem?

After hesitating, He Qisheng turned his head and glanced at the stage manager, and then he said to An An: “Didn’t you want to play with that thing last time?”

When the little girl heard it, her eyes immediately lit up like little stars.

She was very happy and nodded vigorously: “Yes!”

He Qisheng said to the stage manager: “Let her try.”

From the perspective of Mo Sui and Zhou Mingmin, they just saw An An following the stage manager and learning how to use the stage clapperboard.

For children, everything was fresh, so no matter what it was, she was willing to try.

It was also because of this that Mo Sui asked her to shoot commercials and movies.

When An An grows up, all of these will become rare and interesting childhood memories.
