By linking my account to the check-in system, I became a leisurely traveler.

Chapter 49? This skill...

After a fulfilling day, Li Younan completed his three-day actor experience and finally heard the long-awaited system notification sound.

[Check-in complete].

[Received a random reward...]

"Driving skills!" Li Younan shouted.

Makeup skills +1

Li Younan was instantly petrified.

At the same time, a wealth of knowledge about makeup flooded his mind. Brands, categories, ingredients, and so on—things that straight men like him never touched upon—all came to mind. He could recite details like how to apply foundation, how to apply makeup, and even advanced techniques like highlighting, eyeliner, and lip lines.

For a moment, Li Younan felt a mix of emotions. It was like a girl suddenly being able to recite the engine model of a GTR.

Li Younan can confidently say that his makeup skills have surpassed those of 99% of girls. He even understands the properties, advantages, disadvantages, and precautions of cosmetics that many ordinary girls have never used or seen.

Well, it's hard to describe the experience. Li Younan is, after all, a guy who's too lazy to even use face wash. Of course, he's not a rough guy; because he gets regular rest, his skin is exceptionally good, and it stays clean even with just water. But without a doubt, makeup is something he's not really into.

For him personally, makeup skills are obviously of little practical use. Many people associate this skill with being "effeminate," but that's unnecessary.

Li Younan knew that many top makeup artists were men, just as the majority of top painters were male. Men naturally had an advantage over women in areas such as light and shadow, overall composition, and the stability of their fingers while applying makeup. It was just a pity that this time it still wasn't the driving skill he longed for.

As filming wrapped, Li Younan returned the props to the prop master and changed into his own clothes. It was already night, but several other film crews were still brightly lit. Li Younan felt a mix of emotions and gratitude for this experience. Traveling is truly a wonderful thing.

Li Younan drove here this time. He started the engine in the parking lot and contacted Xie Lin. After all, he was able to complete the check-in so smoothly this time thanks to Xie Lin's help. When Xie Lin heard that Li Younan was planning to leave, he said, "Then I'll spend another day with you tomorrow."

Li Younan hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Aren't you busy tomorrow?"

Xie Lin chuckled: "It's okay. Actually, I've reduced the frequency of my acting roles quite a bit. Our industry is already pretty flexible in terms of time. If we had to work every day, we'd be exhausted. Besides, I'm currently transitioning into becoming a casting director, right? Since you're here, I'll definitely hang out with you."

And so the matter was settled. However, since Xie Lin's girlfriend couldn't easily take time off, Li Younan adjusted his plan to spend the day with Xie Lin, wandering around and having fun, and then treating the couple to dinner in the evening.

He slowly drove off, only to see Lan Yiyi and her assistant waiting by the roadside. Li Younan stopped the car in front of them, and both Lan Yiyi and her assistant took a step back. When the car window rolled down, Lan Yiyi was stunned to see that it was Li Younan inside. She then took two steps forward and leaned against the car window. "Huh, it's you?"

Li Younan asked curiously, "What are you doing?"

The short-haired assistant said, "Can't you tell? Of course they're waiting for a car."

Li Younan blinked: "You're taking a taxi yourself?"

This sentence immediately silenced the two of them.

Lan Yiyi said irritably, "What do you mean by 'personally taking a taxi'? Aren't we human beings? Humans need to take taxis."

Li Younan ignored the absurd logic in Lan Yiyi's words and said, "I thought you all had private cars to pick you up. Get in the car, I'll give you a ride."

Lan Yiyi and her female assistant exchanged a glance, then opened the car door and got in.

Once in the car, Lan Yiyi explained, "Didn't the director say we'd have a day off tomorrow? This is my first time in JH City. Um, we're planning to have hot pot tonight and wander around the neighborhood tomorrow."

Li Younan asked curiously, "Are celebrities allowed to have solo events?"

Lan Yiyi snorted: "Now you think I'm a celebrity again."

The assistant next to him kept laughing and said, "In our industry, only A-list celebrities have private cars and chauffeured vans from the production crew. After all, they know too many people, and it would be a lot of trouble if they weren't picked up and dropped off. The production crew is actually just afraid of trouble. But for a second-tier celebrity like Yiyi..." Li Younan silently thought to himself, "18th-tier."

"There is no shuttle service. The crew does provide a chartered car to the hotel, but we plan to have hot pot tonight, so we won't take the crew's chartered car."

Li Younan asked, "Are you planning to go to Dongyang City?"

Lan Yiyi nodded. She looked left and right, then squeezed the leather seat of the car and said with a smile, "Why do you like driving this kind of car? It's like an old man driving one."

The assistant whispered, "You can actually afford such an expensive car? I know this car, it must cost nearly a million!"

Lan Yiyi was startled; she hadn't expected the car to be so expensive.

Li Younan chuckled: "Bought it for 6000 yuan, what more could you want?"

Lan Yiyi and her female assistant rolled their eyes together: "6000 yuan is more like enough for you to buy a toy."

Li Younan didn't explain, but asked for the destination, entered the location into the navigation, and drove there.

Lacking confidence in his driving skills, Li Younan drove very steadily, neither overtaking nor using sidewalks. Fortunately, there were fewer cars at night, so it wasn't too slow. When a car tried to cut in front of him, Li Younan quietly let it go first.

Lan Yiyi said, "Your skills are quite good."

Li Younan blinked and coughed, "Really?"

Lan Yiyi nodded: "You drove quite steadily."

"Oh, haha."

After dropping them off at their destination, Lan Yiyi suddenly asked, "Are you leaving tomorrow?"

Li Younan said, "I plan to take a walk around the neighborhood with my friends tomorrow."

Lan Yiyi's eyes lit up, and she asked, "Can I come along?"

Li Younan shook his head: "Of course not, you're a big star. What if we get mobbed if we bring you along? I don't want to be photographed by paparazzi."

Lan Yiyi puffed out her cheeks in anger and said, "I'm just an unknown actress who got the lead role in a small film crew through family connections. Do you really think I'm famous? Nobody recognizes me on the street."

Li Younan gripped the steering wheel tightly and said, "Let's talk about it tomorrow."

Lan Yiyi snorted: "Fine, I'll call you first thing tomorrow morning."

After the car drove away, the assistant asked timidly, "Yiyi, what am I going to do now?"

Lan Yiyi coughed and smiled, "Do as you please."

Lan Yiyi and her assistant checked into a hotel. The next morning, just as dawn broke, Lan Yiyi woke up. She saw that it was only a little past 6 a.m., but she felt particularly energetic. Since she couldn't fall back asleep, she decided to get up and put on her makeup carefully.

This time, she took her makeup even more seriously than when filming, spending a full hour and a half on it. Looking at herself in the mirror, she was extremely satisfied. Then she took out her phone to call Li Younan, but hesitated. Instead of dialing, she scrolled to Li Younan's WeChat and asked, "Are you awake?"

Li Younan replied instantly: "I'm awake."
