Huayu Entertainment: Tianxian really wants to improve

Chapter 35 Merry Christmas

“You’ve definitely lost weight!”

Liu Yifei poked her cheek, remembering what Gu Bei said.

Compared to the Tianlong period, the baby fat on his cheeks is obviously much smaller, and he looks much thinner visually.

The water that was opened in advance is now constantly emitting mist.

She stood inside, and the warm water wrapped around her body, instantly removing the coldness in the bathroom.

"call!"

Liu Yifei washed very quickly this time.

Taking a shower at Gu Bei's house made her feel shy, and she was always afraid that Gu Bei would come back early.

Even if she washed her hair as quickly as possible, it was not easy to wash her shoulder-length hair, and it took her more than 20 minutes.

When I came out, my underwear had already dried and was still warm from the heater when I put it on.

Then I put on my clothes one by one, and the warmth wrapped around my whole body, giving me a feeling of happiness.

"Your soup is almost ready."

Liu Yifei sent a text message to Gu Bei.

At this time, Gu Bei was still in the bar downstairs, drinking ginger cola.

On days like Christmas Eve, the only places that can still operate normally are bars, which are frequented by frustrated middle-aged men.

Gu Bei opened his phone, saw the text message, and smiled.

"Knock knock!"

Gu Bei tapped the table twice, indicating that he wanted to pay the bill.

"Bruce, when you turn 21, I'm going to buy you a drink. You've already had so many ginger ales in our bar."

The bartender came over and teased with a smile.

"I'll let you know when the time comes."

Gu Bei was about to take out the money.

At this moment, the strange man next to him suddenly said, "Put his money on my account!"

Gu Bei looked over in surprise.

"I can recognize the smile on your face. There must be a beautiful lady across from you. I once had one too."

The strange man raised his glass and said, "Merry Christmas!"

"Merry Chrismas!"

Gu Bei nodded slightly.

He came to the door of the apartment and knocked.

Liu Yifei opened the door with a smile and welcomed him in.

Gu Bei recalled the words of the strange man in the bar and had the illusion of being a husband welcomed home by his wife.

"I didn't expect you to like reading this kind of book!"

Liu Yifei reached out and took out a book, which was the "Twilight" that Gu Bei bought a few days ago.

“I call this market research.”

Gu Bei then recounted what had happened the previous two days, adding, "I can sense that the market for teen fiction has been growing rapidly over the past two years. Generation Y, representing the post-80s generation, is rapidly growing, and the film market needs products that cater to them."

"Are you planning to make this your first feature film?" Liu Yifei asked puzzledly.

"This movie needs a budget of at least $3000 million, which I can't afford right now."

Gu Bei shook his head. He had no interest in directing Twilight.

Liu Yifei widened her eyes slightly when she heard this.

3000 million US dollars, even if you sell her, you can’t get the money!
I originally thought that if I became a burden to Gu Bei, I would raise money to help him make a movie, but now I dare not even think about it!
"I plan to get the film and television adaptation rights first."

Gu Bei was full of ambition and was determined to acquire the copyright for Twilight. "I've already contacted Stephenie Meyer. She's on vacation abroad. We'll have a meeting when she returns."

"Then congratulations!"

Liu Yifei appeared even more confident than Gu Bei.

Gu Bei walked into the kitchen. There was a piece of fresh beef brisket in the refrigerator, so he cooked the beef brisket in clear soup and served white radish cut into domino slices as a side dish.

Now add a little more pepper and salt and it’s just ready to serve.

“It smells so good~”

Liu Yifei took a big sip. It was snowing outside, and drinking hot soup was really the best day.

Gu Bei was also hungry. The glutamate and fat in the beef were absorbed into the soup, giving it a milky aroma.

After meal.

Liu Yifei was curled up on the sofa reading Twilight while Gu Bei went back to his room to write code.

It was getting dark.

Liu Yifei looked out the window, a look of worry on her face.

She still remembered that there were two people outside. If it was any later, she didn't know when she would be able to go back.

Thinking of this, she called Xia Mengqi.

The phone was busy at first.

After a while, the call was connected.

"Sister Sissi!"

As soon as the call was connected, Xia Mengqi's voice with a hint of tears came out, and she used a name that she would never use normally.

"what happened?"

Liu Yifei suddenly felt something was wrong.

"us……"

"Where are you now?"

While crying, Xia Mengqi finally told them where they were now.

It's a place called Watford.

"Atlantic City. They probably went to Atlantic City."

Gu Bei heard the strange noise outside and walked out. He recognized the address as soon as he heard it.

As an entertainment city as famous as Las Vegas on the east coast of North America.

Gu Bei had also visited there because of its reputation. It was only a three-hour drive from Manhattan, and even if he wanted to visit Washington, D.C. on the way, it would only take four hours.

Waterford is located in a small town not far from Atlantic City.

"They...seem to have returned without money for gas!"

Liu Yifei was still a little confused as she listened, and had no idea what was happening on the other side.

"You keep in touch with them, and we'll drive over."

Gu Bei could roughly guess what the other party was experiencing.

It’s possible that they lost everything…but Atlantic City probably wouldn’t let two minors in.

It is also possible that the credit card was stolen... This is more likely.

Finally, there is a possibility of being robbed. Everyone is resting on Christmas Eve, so the homeless people come out to work overtime.

"We're coming over right now. Is it cold there? ... It's good that the car heater can be turned on."

Liu Yifei breathed a sigh of relief. If anything happened to Xia Mengqi, she would be guilty of a serious crime.

Gu Bei's car was parked downstairs.

He bought this second-hand Buick in his last year of high school.

I spent $5000 on it, drove it for five years, and finally sold it to a classmate from the same school for $3000, which was quite a bargain.

The snow now is obviously heavier than during the day.

Fortunately, there were very few cars on the road on Christmas Eve, and driving on Interstate 95 was smooth.

"We're here... where are you guys?"

When they arrived at the address Xia Mengqi mentioned, they found that the two people's car was not there.

"Crack!"

At this moment, the door of a car covered with snow next to them opened. A young couple was in the car, looking at the two people timidly.

On the way, I actually figured out what happened today.

Speaking of which, this young couple is also weird!

They wanted to sneak into Atlantic City, but they didn't see that their faces were younger than the other.

It’s not like the doormen in Atlantic City were blind, and that led to the credit card being frozen.

The two of them were very generous and used cash to eat, drink and have fun in the surrounding area.

By night, when the car was halfway there, I was dumbfounded.

Out of gas!
My credit card is frozen and my cash is gone.

In the end, the two people could only stay in the car and rely on the heater to keep warm.

"Sissi!"

"Sister, don't call me anymore?"
