Wandering the world of film and television begins with the golden years

Li Haoyu carried Xu Hongdou's suitcase upstairs.

He glanced at her discreetly, and Li Haoyu felt that Xu Hongdou was truly starting to glow. She unconsciously exuded a very charming aura.

Li Haoyu felt that Xu Hongdou might not be the most beautiful girl, nor did she have the most alluring figure, but he felt the most comfortable around her.

In Xu Hongdou, Li Haoyu could see a trait that very few girls possess: she knew exactly what she wanted, and once she did, she took the initiative, without being coy or pretentious, but open and honest.

Xu Hongdou's style of doing things is both smooth and sincere, and her honesty is endearing.

This is what touched Li Haoyu the most.

Therefore, Li Haoyu always valued Xu Hongdou's feelings.

Li Haoyu said to Xu Hongdou, "You pack your things first, I'll cook you a meal in a bit. This time it won't be as simple as last time, I'll cook you a real feast."

But Xu Hongdou suddenly burst out laughing.

Her smile was especially sweet.

This left Li Haoyu completely bewildered; what was going on with Xu Hongdou?

The matter was actually quite simple. Xu Hongdou overheard Li Haoyu talking about cooking. She couldn't help but recall how she had wolfed down her food the last time she ate.

Xu Hongdou couldn't help but laugh whenever she thought about it.

She said, "Hey, you don't really think you can bribe me with just one meal, do you?"

Li Haoyu: ……

He was now speechless, having gone to such lengths to cook for her.

Xu Hongdou actually dared to say that.

It's worth noting that Li Haoyu had actually entertained some wicked thoughts during his previous RV trip. If he hadn't used immense willpower to control himself then...

Whether Xu Hongdou can still stand there and speak like this is another matter. It seems I was too soft-hearted; otherwise, Xu Hongdou wouldn't be so assertive.

So, Li Haoyu stared straight at Xu Hongdou and said, "Just because I'm not showing my teeth doesn't mean I'm a pushover. You're so arrogant, do you want me to show you what I'm made of?"

After saying that, Li Haoyu actually took a few steps forward.

The distance between the two people suddenly shortened a lot.

Xu Hongdou could even hear Li Haoyu's breathing, and she wasn't sure if it was just her imagination. She even felt that the temperature around her had risen a little.

Xu Hongdou was genuinely scared this time.

She hadn't been this close to a boy in a long time.

Moreover, the two of them had just closed the door to the guesthouse for privacy. Now, it really was just Li Haoyu and her, a lone man and woman, in the room.

What if Li Haoyu really loses control and...

Many images flashed through Xu Hongdou's mind in an instant.

Her delicate face flushed considerably. Li Haoyu didn't back down, and went even further, saying, "What's wrong? Are you only now realizing I'm serious? «-(¯`v´¯)-« 6➈Ⓢħᵘ𝕩.Ⓒᵒ𝕞 »-(¯`v´¯)-»"

Xu Hongdou said in a slightly hesitant voice.

"I...I didn't...I was just saying it casually."

Xu Hongdou glanced at Li Haoyu.

She was clearly a little guilty.

Seeing Xu Hongdou like this, Li Haoyu became even more interested.

"Am I wrong? I've never had a girlfriend, and you're looking for a fresh start. How about we give it a try?"

After speaking, Li Haoyu remained silent, staring intently at Xu Hongdou. He wanted to see how Xu Hongdou would react to his sudden confession.

This is also the most troublesome thing for many people in the early stages of a relationship.

Both men and women find it difficult to grasp this balance.

But in Li Haoyu's view: to white or not to white, it's a matter of perspective.

Confessing your feelings is like using a hunting rifle.

Some people had 98K rifles and hit their targets every time; some had shotguns and missed the rabbits but hit the pheasants nearby; and some unlucky ones had homemade guns that exploded and the rabbits got away.

But Li Haoyu saw that most people were still carrying homemade guns and shooting everywhere, shooting at whichever one ran away, and then shooting at the next one, shooting whichever one they could hit.

But the childish Li Haoyu felt that confessing one's feelings to another was a silly thing. Confessing one's feelings should be a declaration of victory, not a clarion call to launch an attack.

If the other person really likes you, you don't need to say anything.

If the other person replies to your messages instantly, and agrees to have dinner with you even late at night, then there's a high chance that the girl is interested in you.

If you can get a girl to go out with you at six in the morning, then congratulations, you have a good chance of succeeding if you suddenly propose to her.

So Li Haoyu had always wanted to slowly boil the frog in water, gradually making Xu Hongdou his captive. But since Xu Hongdou kept provoking him, he decided he wouldn't tolerate it any longer.

Li Haoyu's impulsive confession.

In fact, it was also a test for him to see what Xu Hongdou's attitude was.

As expected, Li Haoyu confessed his feelings in such a simple and straightforward way.

Xu Hongdou, who had been so quick-witted just moments before, fell silent instantly.

Li Haoyu took a slight step back, and Xu Hongdou seized the opportunity to open her suitcase. She said, "I have quite a lot of luggage this time, so you'll have to wait a while."

Li Haoyu completely ignored Xu Hongdou's excuse.

I must say, the courtyard with the breeze is really nicely decorated, and the two rooms Li Haoyu booked have great natural light. Now, with the sunlight streaming in, the whole room is bright and cheerful.

Li Haoyu simply opened the window and let the breeze in. The wind was neither too cold nor too hot this time of year, and opening the window instantly improved the comfort of the room.

But Xu Hongdou had no time to care about any of that. 🌷🐙 ♪♟

To be honest, Xu Hongdou does have feelings for Li Haoyu. But if she were to actually accept Li Haoyu's confession, it would be a little bit off.

Li Haoyu's confession was especially sudden.

Xu Hongdou was completely unprepared.

So she really doesn't know what to do now.

Adding to the anxiety, Li Haoyu remained silent, making Xu Hongdou even more uneasy. She used to think Li Haoyu was quite mature, so why was he suddenly like this...?

This was Xu Hongdou's first time facing Li Haoyu, and she didn't know what to say. Just as she was caught in a dilemma, unsure of what to do...

Only then did Li Haoyu belatedly realize his mistake and say, "Did I say that a bit too suddenly? How about I give you a little more time to think about it?"

As expected, Li Haoyu's words came out.

Xu Hongdou immediately nodded her head. "Then let's do it your way! You've worked so hard today, so let's skip the cooking. We can just make some instant noodles."

Xu Hongdou immediately said.

Li Haoyu calmly said, "Then let's not do it for now. I really need to rest for a while."

Xu Hongdou: ...

She looked puzzled.

You should know that it was Li Haoyu who just confessed his feelings.

Why is he acting this way now?

Li Haoyu continued, "Then take a nice hot shower and change into some clean clothes. Come find me after you shower, and I'll cook you some instant noodles myself."

Xu Hongdou didn't even have time to react.

Li Haoyu had already turned and left with her on his back.

Li Haoyu even waved goodbye to Xu Hongdou.

Xu Hongdou felt like her brain had short-circuited for a moment.

Was I hallucinating just now? Li Haoyu was the one who confessed to me, so why does this situation make it seem like I'm the one confessing to him?

Is this really that outrageous?

Xu Hongdou's big, dark eyes widened in surprise.

She really couldn't understand the current situation.

Actually, Xu Hongdou's stomach had been growling with hunger after such a long journey. Despite her nonchalant attitude, she genuinely missed Li Haoyu's cooking.

When Xu Hongdou was sick last time, the home-cooked dishes Li Haoyu made were absolutely delicious. It wasn't that she was just craving food; Li Haoyu was genuinely a skilled cook.

Xu Hongdou has already eaten good food, why would she want to keep eating instant noodles?

Besides, instant noodles are okay for a meal or two, but you can't make do with them every time. Moreover, Li Haoyu is such a good cook, isn't she basically begging for food while sitting next to a mountain of gold?

Xu Hongdou fell into deep thought.

…………

Li Haoyu walks downstairs.

He went back to his room and took out his phone.

He first sent a text message to Li Meiyu.

After all, Li Meiyu had arrived here alone a few days earlier, so he needed to settle her in first before Li Haoyu could pursue Xu Hongdou with a clear conscience.

He thought for a moment and then sent a text message.

"Meiyu, I've arrived in Yunnan too. I'm currently looking for suitable guesthouses these days. You can enjoy yourself for a few days first, and I'll contact you again after I've finished my research on guesthouses."

After Li Haoyu finished writing this passage.

He felt that something was still missing.

So he added, "You've put in a lot of effort during this time, and I suddenly feel that the previous arrangements weren't quite right."

It would be unfair to ask you to start from scratch again. Once the guesthouse is finalized, you can start directly as the manager.

"Although you may still have to follow Xu Hongdou's instructions regarding some specific work arrangements, how about we ensure that you are on equal footing with her in terms of work benefits and rank?"

"Really?"

Li Haoyu's text message had been sent less than a minute ago.

Li Meiyu replied to the text message immediately.

That's way too fast!

This made Li Haoyu wonder if Li Meiyu was holding her phone and waiting for his message.

That's actually true.

When Li Meiyu first arrived in Yunnan, she was very happy. She was free and unrestrained, and no boss was watching over her anymore. She was staying in a four-star luxury hotel, and her life couldn't be more comfortable.

But as time went on, Li Meiyu's initial excitement faded.

A sense of emptiness welled up inside her.

These days of doing nothing are really boring.

So these past few days, Li Meiyu has been waiting for Li Haoyu's next instructions. Although Li Haoyu would often give her instructions in the past, those days were the most fulfilling time of her life.

Not only because opening a bed and breakfast had always been Li Meiyu's dream, but also because at that time she felt she had an irreplaceable value, a feeling she had never experienced anywhere else.

So although Li Meiyu never said it, she was always very grateful to Li Haoyu. She even set up special notifications for Li Haoyu's messages on her phone because of this.

She wanted to receive Li Haoyu's messages as soon as possible so she could reply quickly.

"Wow, boss, you're really good to me!"

"Boss, I thought you'd forgotten about me. I haven't heard from you for days. It seems I misunderstood you. I'm really sorry."

Li Haoyu immediately replied, "It's okay, this is what I should do as the boss. Once I'm done with this busy period, I'll definitely make proper arrangements for you."

Li Meiyu was holding her phone in her hotel room.

She replied excitedly, "Okay, boss, I'll wait patiently for you at the hotel."

"Don't rush your research. After all, this is a big deal, and we must ensure everything goes smoothly. Otherwise, what if you invest so much money and it all goes down the drain?"

Li Haoyu saw the text message Li Meiyu replied to.

He couldn't hold back any longer.

Li Haoyu smiled very happily.

Li Meiyu was truly a remarkable person; she would unconditionally believe whatever he said. This made Li Haoyu sigh with emotion: the feeling of being unconditionally trusted was truly wonderful.

You don't need to prove anything; the other person simply believes you.

That feeling was really great!

Li Haoyu chatted with Li Meiyu for a few more minutes, then deleted all the text message records. Although Li Haoyu was quite certain, Xu Hongdou was currently at a loss.

She's trying to avoid him right now, how could she possibly have a chance to look at his text messages? However, just to be on the safe side, Li Haoyu still did it this way.

Furthermore, his sudden confession to Xu Hongdou was a spur-of-the-moment decision. However, Li Haoyu felt that it might not be such a bad move.

Confessing your feelings is a very meaningful thing.

There are at least a few advantages: First, it can clarify his ambiguous relationship with Xu Hongdou, which can also advance their relationship.

Secondly, this also shows his attitude towards her. Li Haoyu believes that this direct confession will definitely have a significant impact on Xu Hongdou.

After all, Xu Hongdou didn't dislike him; otherwise, she wouldn't have gone on this trip with him. And love is something that happens in an instant and can vanish just as quickly.

It's not easy for a heart to flutter; we shouldn't be careless, and we certainly shouldn't miss it.

That's why Li Haoyu wanted to "go straight to the point".

Otherwise, given Xu Hongdou's personality, she always approaches love in a withdrawn manner. In that case, the relationship between him and Xu Hongdou could easily continue to stalemate, thus dragging into a "dead end".

Actually, it's not just Xu Hongdou; nowadays, people tend to avoid, hide, and engage in push-pull tactics when it comes to dating.

Many people prefer a "soft landing" approach to relationships, often passively waiting even when they really like the other person. They only dare to confide in friends or vent in their diaries.

They even pinned their hopes for love on metaphysics like divination and astrology, and didn't dare to confess their feelings directly to each other... In Li Haoyu's opinion, this was simply too stupid.

Dating is inherently about instinct and impulse.

Just like you have to knock on the door before you can visit someone's home, Li Haoyu wanted to enter Xu Hongdou's heart, so he had to knock on her heart's door first.

Li Haoyu's confession this time was the same; his purpose in making a direct confession wasn't about winning or losing. Rather, he hoped to "receive the ball" with Xu Hongdou and then spend more time with her.

Just as Li Haoyu had expected.

Xu Hongdou is really worried right now.

Because her heart was in turmoil.
