Chapter 50 My Brother's Friend is a Celebrity?
In fact, Li Younan hadn't just woken up; he'd been awake for quite some time. Back when he was working, he always had a dream: to go to bed at 9 pm every day and wake up at 6 am the next day. Even if he just lay in bed for an hour, he could guarantee a full eight hours of sleep.

When he was little, he was also impulsive. Once in elementary school, he forgot to bring his homework, and the teacher accused him of lying, which made him cry in distress. When he got home, he was still very upset, feeling wronged and blaming the teacher for wrongly accusing him.

His mother comforted him, saying it was okay, that if he was in a bad mood, he would feel better after a good night's sleep, if he slept for eight hours.

Li Younan slept soundly, and sure enough, everything was fine the next day.

His mother repeated the phrase he often used, "It's nothing serious."

After starting work, Li Younan tried her best to maintain a regular schedule, but often she still couldn't control it. However, as long as she could get a good night's sleep, her mood would calm down. Especially when she woke up naturally, the moment she opened her eyes, she felt refreshed, as if all the emotional baggage from the previous day had been emptied out.

However, compared to going to bed early, going to bed late is not as effective. If you fall asleep at 9 pm the night before and wake up at 5 or 6 am the next day, the daytime feels incredibly long. You can greet this super long day with the most energetic state of mind, and it feels like there's never enough time.

Now, he can finally realize this dream.

After getting up, I didn't do anything particularly meaningful.

He woke up at 5:30, washed up, and played Honor of Kings for an hour in his hotel room. Although he lost two games in a row, he remained calm.

When Lan Yiyi sent the message, Li Younan was about to go have breakfast. He replied casually and asked, "Are you sure you want to come with us? We're two guys."

Lan Yiyi sent a message: "I'm glad you don't mind me."

Li Younan found the message somewhat amusing.

Such words were probably just polite talk; after all, Lan Yiyi was a minor celebrity with a comfortable family background. Once people enter the workforce, they become completely estranged from people like her. From any perspective, Li Younan couldn't possibly look down on Lan Yiyi, and Xie Lin…

Li Younan thought, Xie Lin... is practically a part of the film and television industry, so he should be pretty calm when he sees a celebrity.

Since she wants to come with me so much, let her come. It's quite pleasant to have a beautiful woman with you while you're having fun.

After breakfast, Li Younan went to pick up Xie Lin first, since Xie Lin lived closer to him. Xie Lin was wearing his usual denim jacket and Doc Martens again today.

Sherlin got into the passenger seat and said, "Let's visit some nearby attractions today, and then go to the shopping center at noon." After saying that, Sherlin chuckled and added, "I'd like to buy Juhong a set of cosmetics while we're at it."

Li Younan was somewhat surprised.

Sherlin immediately explained, "She really doesn't know how to do makeup, hehe, she's naturally beautiful, but I think she's quite envious of girls who have cosmetics. Cosmetics aren't expensive these days."

Li Younan nodded and said, "Let's go pick someone up first."

Schelling asked, somewhat puzzled, "Is anyone else with us? Your friends?"

Li Younan nodded and casually said, "It wouldn't be right to refuse if you insisted on coming with me."

Sherlin smiled and said, "Then bring him along. Your friend is my friend. Don't worry, I'll treat him very politely and let him feel my hospitality."

Li Younan gripped the steering wheel, turned his head to look at Xie Lin, thought for a moment, and then said nothing.

……

In the car, Xie Lin looked around boredly. He had just tried to talk to Li Younan, but Li Younan had only responded with "uh-huh" and "yeah" because she felt it was unsafe to chat while driving.

With traffic jam ahead, Xie Lin finally asked, "By the way, when did you meet that friend?"

Li Younan said, "We met just two days ago while filming."

Upon hearing that they had only met two days prior, Xie Lin immediately became wary and said, "Brother, places like this are full of all sorts of people. Although most are good, there are a few who might have ulterior motives. I've seen plenty of those kinds of people, so you'd better be careful."

Li Younan shook his head: "I don't think they would have any ulterior motives."

Xie Lin said helplessly, "Brother, you're just too kind. But this is the dark side of society. We shouldn't assume malice in others, but we can't be too careful."

Li Younan said, "It's a woman."

Sherlin slapped his thigh: "Women? What's wrong with women? Women are more likely to succeed in lying!"

Li Younan chuckled and said, "You'll know when you see her."

The road ahead was clear, and the traffic jam was over. Li Younan suddenly asked, "By the way, buddy, you've been making movies for so long, you must deal with celebrities a lot, right?"

Xie Lin gave a helpless smile: "Big brother, you overestimate me. How could someone like me, who only plays minor roles, possibly have that kind of opportunity?"

Li Younan said thoughtfully, "I thought you guys often work in the same place, after all."

Schelling chuckled self-deprecatingly: "Even the President of the United States has a cleaner in his office!"

At the next intersection, Li Younan turned the car and arrived at Lan Yiyi's hotel.

At this moment, Lan Yiyi had been standing obediently at the hotel entrance for quite some time.

It was natural for Xie Lin to be attracted to Lan Yiyi at first sight; it was a man's instinct.

When a beautiful girl appears in the frame, the eyes of a "predator" can pinpoint her in an instant. Sherlin felt that staring at her like that seemed a bit lewd, but he couldn't wait to share it with Li Younan, so he lowered his voice and said mysteriously, "Bro, look, that beautiful girl over there..."

Li Younan nodded, then drove the car straight toward the other party.

Upon seeing this, Sherlin was initially stunned, but then he snapped out of it and hurriedly asked, "Brother, what are you doing?"

Li Younan said, "Please ask her to get in the car."

Xie Lin almost fainted. He suddenly realized that Li Younan might be playing a prank on him.

An image flashed through his mind: Li Younan rolled down the car window and said, "Hey, beautiful, my brother just complimented you on your looks."

That scene was truly chilling.

However, the scene Schelling had envisioned did not occur.

The car slowly pulled up next to the beautiful woman. The window rolled down, and Xie Lin quickly turned to face Li Younan. Li Younan simply smiled at the woman, and then they heard the sound of the door opening and closing.

Sherlin paused for a moment, then turned his head to look, only to see that the beautiful woman had already sat in the back row.

The two stared at each other, momentarily stunned.

Li Younan chuckled and said, "Let me introduce you. My friend is Xie Lin, and he's also in the film and television industry in Hengdian."

The beautiful woman smiled and said, "Hello, Sherlin."

Sherlin thought that even the beautiful woman's voice was so pleasant to hear.

Then Li Younan said to Xie Lin, "This is the friend I just told you about whom I met the day before yesterday. Her name is Lan Yiyi. She's a big star. She's the female lead in the drama I starred in."

Upon hearing this, Sherlin thought he had misheard and subconsciously said "Oh." Then, he came to his senses and froze.

He turned his head again with an exaggerated expression and looked at Lan Yiyi, his eyes wide like gongs.

It really was Lan Yiyi. Although Lan Yiyi wasn't a famous actress, Xie Lin was in the industry after all, and he was the one who introduced Li Younan to the crew, so of course he would recognize Lan Yiyi.

However, even if he had seen Lan Yiyi, he couldn't possibly stare at her face and examine it closely. He only saw her from afar and was left with a very beautiful impression. If he saw her on the street, he would really have a hard time recognizing her.

Now that his identity has been confirmed, his tongue is starting to get tied, and he stammers, "You... hello."

Lan Yiyi lowered her head and gently brushed her hair aside, saying softly, "I'm sorry to have troubled you."

Before Li Younan could even speak, Xie Lin immediately replied, "No trouble at all, it's my pleasure!"

He then took a deep breath, leaned back in his seat, and as if remembering something, suddenly turned his head and said, "Why don't you sit in the front passenger seat?"

Lan Yiyi paused for a moment, then quickly shook her head: "No...no need."

Listening to their awkward conversation, Li Younan finally couldn't help but burst into laughter.
