Huayu: Starting with Rejecting 00s Actresses on a Dating Show

Chapter 102 I don't understand, I want to kiss

The sun is shining brightly today, the air is fresh, and the temperature is surprisingly pleasant.

Lu Yuxiao, dressed in a white dress and beige flat sandals, ran and laughed, her cheeks flushed from the exercise.

The moment Tan Wen saw Lu Yuxiao, his heart softened.

He roughly understood why he had been somewhat negative about other girls' advances these past two days.

He leaned against the tree trunk, not disturbing her, and quietly watched her play with Xiu Xiu until Lu Yuxiao also saw him.

Tan Wen smiled and prepared to step forward, only to find that Lu Yuxiao's gaze lingered on him for a second before shifting away.

"Xiuxiu, let's go back."

Lu Yu picked up Xiu Xiu and walked back with his back to Tan Wen.

Tan Wen found it amusing and quietly followed behind. So this was what Lu Yu looked like when she was a little angry—cute but utterly harmless.

After walking for a while, Lu Yuxiao stopped, and Tan Wen walked to a spot very close to her.

Lu Yu turned around and found that her face was almost pressed against Tan Wen's chest. She subconsciously took a step back.

Tan Wen put his arm around her waist, preventing her from escaping.

Lu Yuxiao did not struggle. She looked up, her eyes filled with a hint of sadness.

"You have to give me an explanation," she said.

"Put Xiu Xiu down first, she's getting in the way," Tan Wen said.

Xiu Xiu rolled her eyes at Tan Wen and reluctantly left Lu Yuxiao's embrace.

"Do you often talk badly about me in front of Xiu Xiu? It's very unhappy with me." Tan Wen smiled wryly.

Lu Yu frowned slightly, remaining silent as she waited for Tan Wen's explanation.

When will "The Performance" be recorded? What is the recording schedule?

"It will be finished recording in two weeks after October 15th, so don't change the subject."

"Great, the timing doesn't conflict. You can find some time to go back to Shanghai in the next few days. If you'd like, I can go with you."

Lu Yuxiao finally became puzzled, "Why go back to Shanghai?"

Tan Wen laughed and said, "Going to meet your parents? You've already met my parents, so I have to meet yours too."

Lu Yu paused for a moment, then looked at Tan Wen's teasing expression with some suspicion. "Stop joking, what's going on?"

Tan Wen's smile faded, and he said seriously, "It's about work. Go to Shanghai to audition for a role as the second female lead in a web series. I'll send you the casting director's WeChat later."

Lu Yuxiao was both surprised and delighted, "Really?"

Tan Wen: "Why would I lie to you? The filming location is in Shanghai, which is a good opportunity for you."

Lu Yu took a little time to process this information. After calming down, he asked, "Did you help me get it?"

Tan Wen shook his head: "You have to fight for it yourself. The second female lead role is not easy to get, and I don't have much confidence in you."

Lu Yuxiao wasn't angry at Tan Wen's denial. She looked at Tan Wen, her eyes filled with bitterness yet also with the joy of knowing he was still willing to be good to her.

Tan Wen rubbed her head: "Very good, your eyes can act now too. I suddenly have confidence in you again."

Lu Yu shook her head slightly, dodging Tan Wen's hand: "Don't think that just because I did all this, I don't need to explain myself. Why did you choose me for this date, and then give up on us? And what about that thing Liu Haochun mentioned about you promising Han Yan?"

Tan Wen had a headache; how did we end up back here again?

"I don't understand what you're saying, but I want to kiss you."

After saying that, before Lu Yuxiao could say anything more, Tan Wen kissed her soft lips.

Lu Yu made a whimpering sound, trying to push Tan Wen away, but Tan Wen wouldn't let her have her way, and the kiss deepened.

Lu Yuxiao slowly loosened her grip on Tan Wen's arm; she no longer wrapped her arms around his neck or hugged his waist.

She hung quietly by her side, and her response gradually changed from restraint to passion.

After an unknown amount of time, the two parted ways.

For a long time, the two remained silent, and Lu Yuxiao did not ask Tan Wen for an explanation.

Tan Wen looked at Lu Yuxiao, whose cheeks were flushed.

"I'm really reluctant to leave the cabin."

Lu Yu whispered, "Then stay."

"Where to stay?"

"Stay by my side."

"Haven't seen you for a few days, and you've already learned how to flirt."

"Thank you, thank you for everything you did for me during my time in the cabin."

"What are you thanking me for? I'm after you as a person, not your thanks."

The two returned to the cabin, which was very quiet and deserted.

Everyone has gone on their dates. This date is two days and one night. You can choose to go back to the cabin, or you can choose to...

They chose to spend the night outside.

Lu Yu explained the situation to Tan Wen.

"I told them I wasn't feeling well, so I didn't go on the date this time."

Lu Yuxiao knew what Tan Wen wanted to ask, so he explained again.

Tan Wen didn't feel the return of her boyfriend-like charm; He Mi'er wasn't in the cabin.

"Who did Mi'er go on a date with?" Tan Wen asked casually.

Lu Yu sighed inwardly. Tan Wen still cared about He Mier. She wasn't jealous or dissatisfied, but this feeling wasn't pleasant.

"She went back to Hong Kong last night, saying she had some family matters to attend to."

Tan Wen nodded, planning to make a call later to ask.

"I need to catch up on some sleep. I'll spend more time with you later."

"So, what about your date with Junko?"

Where is she?

"She should be in her room. She said she'd come find you when you get back."

"Don't tell her yet, I'll take a nap first and then talk to her."

"Why didn't you tell me first?" Liu Haochun asked as he came down the stairs. "Do you think I'd let you stay home just for a date?"

Liu Haochun was dressed in loose-fitting home clothes, with two small braids and a crystal bracelet on her wrist, looking relaxed and lively.

"Have you eaten?" she asked Tan Wen.

"I'm not eating anymore."

"Let me cook you some noodles, I'm going to eat some too."

"Okay, I'll go back and drop off my luggage first."

Liu Haochun naturally took over the reins, which Lu Yuxiao didn't mind.

After all, this was Liu Haochun's date, and she had just kissed Tan Wen.

What annoyed her was that she hadn't thought about whether Tan Wen had eaten or not.

Moreover, even though Liu Haochun had already eaten, he managed to persuade Tan Wen to eat by saying he wanted to eat too.

Sigh, compared to her, I'm still a bit dull.

Lu Yu quietly withdrew, leaving the two of them alone.

Tan Wen put down his luggage, splashed water on his face, lit a cigarette on the balcony, and then went downstairs.

Liu Haochun's noodles were a bit bland, but at least they were much better than Meng Ziyi's disastrous cooking.

As the two ate noodles, Liu Haochun asked Tan Wen about her experiences over the past two days, and Tan Wen avoided the main points and talked to her about it.

"Oh, right, I have something to show you." Liu Haochun took out his phone and showed it to Tan Wen.

Tan Wen took the phone and opened the video.

It's a trailer celebrating the return of "One Second". The video is short and includes footage of Liu Haochun.

"Is that you dressed up as a little beggar?"

Liu Haochun's eyes in the video are clear, with a purity that cannot be achieved through makeup or painting.

Tan Wen sighed, "Zhang Yimou still knows how to pick actors."

Liu Haochun pouted: "Pay attention to the time."

Tan Wen had already noticed: the film is scheduled for nationwide release on November 27.

"Congratulations, your movie is finally going to be released."

Liu Haochun feigned smugness: "I'm going to be on the big screen before you are!"

"If I become rich and powerful, I will not forget you."

"If you could come to the premiere with me, I would never forget you."

Tan Wen shook his head regretfully: "I'm sorry, I really can't go this time."

"Why?" Liu Haochun's smugness vanished. "This isn't difficult, is it?"
