The King of Soft Rice in Chinese Entertainment

Chapter 212 You didn't want this either, did you?
"It's difficult to do. Sometimes, not telling the truth isn't because we don't want to, but because we can't—that's a white lie. And sometimes, not telling the truth is because we both don't want to and can't. In this case, although it's still a white lie, the good side is much weaker than the former..."

Beside the bustling commercial plaza, Xu Jiuyang explained to Zhang Yin in a long, drawn-out manner why it is difficult for people to communicate with each other.

"So, what exactly was the reason you broke up with Ranran?" Zhang Yin, still confused, finally asked.

"Well..." Xu Jiuyang gave a wry smile, "Anyway, it's my fault."

"Really?" Zhang Yin blinked, a suspicious look on her face, as if she was about to ask something.

Just then, Gao Yuanyuan's voice came over: "Alright, alright, we can go now."

She was wearing a coat, carrying a bag, and wearing ankle boots, looking every bit the fashionable woman. She had a smile on her face and was so beautiful that it was hard to look away.

Li Xiaoran followed behind her, wearing the same coat but with a scarf around her neck. The double-breasted coat was tightly fastened, making her upper body very prominent. Her face had a cold expression, giving her an inexplicably aloof and elegant look. She and Gao Yuanyuan were like spring orchids and autumn chrysanthemums, each with their own strengths.

"Where to next?" Zhang Yin immediately changed the subject.

"Of course it's time to eat, it's time." Gao Yuanyuan tapped her watch.

Xu Jiuyang subconsciously wanted to raise his hand to check his watch, but he stopped after making only one movement. To this day, his watch is still the one Li Dabai gave him.

The group walked towards the parking lot. The combination of three women and one man attracted a lot of attention. The women naturally glanced at a certain person, while the man's gaze roamed over the three of them. The couples, on the other hand, stared intently at a certain person and Zhang Yin.

Xu Jiuyang definitely couldn't stand with Li Xiaoran, but he also couldn't stand with Gao Yuanyuan, so he could only stand shoulder to shoulder with Zhang Yin.

In this situation, it was impossible for Li Xiaoran to stand with Zhang Yin, so the arrangement of Li Dabai, Gao Yuanyuan, Zhang Yin, and Xu Jiuyang was formed.

Although Zhang Yin's skin is still somewhat dark, she is no longer the ugly duckling she once was. Under Xu Jiuyang's guidance, she has learned to dress and groom herself according to her own characteristics.

Just like today, she's wearing a trench coat, but it's just the right size, concealing her slender figure while highlighting her signature long legs.

Thus, given that she and Xu Jiuyang are roughly the same height, they look more like a couple even without holding hands.

Perhaps because of this, Li Xiaoran glared at him all night, always choosing times when Gao Yuanyuan and the others weren't paying attention.

At first, Xu Jiuyang thought that she could glare at him if she wanted, since he owed her anyway. But when Li Dabai saw that he didn't react, she actually started to push her luck.

It's one thing to belittle him with words, but when he expresses concern and asks questions, he nitpicks in a harsh tone, which is unacceptable.

So, when they came out to pay the bill, he quickly whispered in her ear while she was out alone, "Come to my house tonight."

Just as she opened her eyes wide, ready to retaliate, he issued a threat based on his studies in Japan: "You don't want your affair with Sister Yuanyuan to be exposed, do you?"

Then Xu Jiuyang casually entered the private dining room while Li Dabai looked like he was about to eat him alive.

Actually, he was mostly joking. Over the past few days, his second brother hadn't had much rest. Although he wasn't tired of the food and his tolerance hadn't increased much, he was still somewhat... annoyed.
I didn't do anything, yet this woman keeps throwing herself at me... No, at least let me have a chance to do something! Even if I'm a kept man, this isn't how you do it!

After returning to his rented room and tidying up, Xu Jiuyang was about to wash up and go to bed when the doorbell rang.

"What are you looking at? If you're going to do it, hurry up." Li Xiaoran, standing at the door, still had a nasty look on her face, but her eyes were looking elsewhere and her ears were a little red.

Xu Jiuyang thought for two seconds, then bent down, picked up Li Dabai, and carried him into the bathroom.

"You bastard, Xu Jiuyang!"

"All you do is threaten me, all you do is bully me!" "You take your anger out on women, are you even a man?!"

Li Dabai angrily rebuked, but barely struggled. As a result, when he started doing certain things, he did so very naturally and even skillfully.

"Hey, seriously? What time is it? Are you really going back?" After finishing up and resting for a while, Xu Jiuyang looked at Li Xiaoran getting up and getting dressed, and asked in surprise.

Li Dabai remained silent until he was dressed, then took out a wad of banknotes from his bag and threw them onto the bed: "Take this and buy some nutritional supplements!"

Her tone was full of sarcasm and disdain, as if she were a rich woman who had come out to have fun—if only she hadn't rushed off in such a hurry.

Unfortunately, someone had not only locked the door from the inside, but also secured the small padlock underneath.

therefore--

"Let go! Let go! You just let go!"

"Oh dear, Mrs. Xu, the service wasn't done well just now. Let me redo it for you."

"It's...it's already healed! It's not needed anymore!"

"Don't worry, there will be no additional charges."

As a result, Li Dabai suffered a brutal beating through back channels and was completely unable to leave. The only thing he could do was to get up the next day and punch him a few times with his little fists to vent his anger.

"It's a pity, if only I had kept one capsule back then." Xu Jiuyang thought to himself as he saw Li Dabai off.

He shamelessly asked a mature woman out and managed to get a small bottle of those capsules. In just two days, he used three capsules on Hao Lei, Tang Wei, and Li Xue.

Well, there's no other way. The hotel room isn't big, and it's quite troublesome to accommodate three people at the same time. We have to resort to technology.

As for why he asked the older women for this thing... it was because of those two older women. During that time, they would call him whenever they had free time, and they always called together, and the things they said were particularly explicit.

Which kind of ham sausage tastes good, Shuanghui or Meihao? Which kind of dough is easy to knead, Xiangmanyuan or Wudeli? And so on and so forth, even an old hand like Xu Jiuyang felt a little ashamed.

Although he's stubborn and unyielding when it comes to crucial issues, he usually responds better to gentle persuasion than force. Anyway, I've been thinking about mature women lately, so I asked one out.

And then... I won't go into details, but all I can say is that the older women are really open-minded, even more so than they were in Zhoushan before.

Getting back to the main point, Xu Jiuyang had the idea of ​​letting Li Dabai try the capsule when they were on the set of The Legend of the Condor Heroes. After their breakup, he was particularly obsessed with the exercise several times, second only to Gao Yuanyuan.

Furthermore, the fact that she dared to put on such a show in front of him meant that such provocation could not be tolerated. So even though he had already gotten his revenge through connections, he still felt it wasn't enough.

Of course, this thought subsided after I shook the fumes out of my head; there's a lot to do after the new year.

For example, although the script for Fan Bingbing isn't urgent, at least the outline should be done. Then, preparations should be made for "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber". Xu Jiuyang was really curious about what the final result of this version of "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber" would be.

Fan Bingbing has been informing him of the production team's progress, and it is estimated that a meet-and-greet will be held before the Spring Festival so that filming can begin after the first month of the lunar calendar.

In this situation, Xu Jiuyang suddenly received a call from Yang Rong, who wanted to invite him to dinner, with her godmother also accompanying him.
