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

Li Haoyu said with a smile.

"This seafood porridge is not only delicious, but I also added some Chinese medicinal herbs, which is perfect for people who stay up late. It's really warm and comforting."

"It's even good for your stomach."

Li Haoyu looked at the other person and said.

Now it was Barley's turn to be surprised. "How did you know I stay up all night? You're not a peeping tom, are you?"

Li Haoyu was speechless after hearing this.

This was the first time he had ever been called a pervert.

Damai is truly a straightforward and blunt woman; she doesn't hold back at all when she speaks.

Is this really good?

Just as Li Haoyu was about to say something...

Da Mai immediately covered her face and said, "How did you know all this? Are my dark circles really that obvious?"

Da Mai covered her face in horror. She couldn't help but take out her phone, wanting to see just how bad her face looked that Li Haoyu could find it so easily.

Li Haoyu couldn't help but say something after hearing that.

"Don't worry, you don't have panda eyes yet, but if you keep going like this, you might really end up like that. So you should hurry up and drink a bowl of porridge to nourish your body."

Li Haoyu saw the appearance of the barley.

He knew that Da Mai was already interested.

Li Haoyu chuckled and opened the pot, instantly filling the entire house with a delightful aroma.

Da Mai couldn't help but touch his nose.

She hesitated for a moment before saying, "How about I just have one bowl?"

Li Haoyu didn't say anything; he simply served Da Mai a bowl of porridge. This is normal; some things you hold dear become insignificant once broken.

Da Mai quickly picked up the bowl and started eating.

"It's so delicious! This is the first time I've ever had such a good seafood porridge!"

Da Mai quickly finished the seafood porridge.

Her face was full of enjoyment.

Next, Da Mai looked at Li Haoyu with an empty bowl in his hand.

Although Da Mai didn't say anything, her desire for another bowl was written all over her face. Li Haoyu didn't waste any words and simply served Da Mai a bowl.

Within minutes, the bowl was empty again.

Li Haoyu filled another large bowl with barley.

Barley was also very generous, drinking bowl after bowl of it.

She even made slurping noises while drinking her porridge. Da Mai really didn't treat Li Haoyu like an outsider. She truly didn't care about her image as a woman at all.

After three bowls, Da Mai was finally completely satisfied.

She placed the empty bowl on the table and patted her belly contentedly.

This porridge tastes absolutely amazing!

The barley's face was filled with happiness.

Rice can be combined with a variety of flavors, and when paired with seafood, it is simply incredibly delicious.

The porridge has a smooth, soft, and lingering texture. 💙☝ ➅❾ˢh𝓤x.ςᵐ ☆♝

The moment the congee touched my lips, the seafood flavor exploded in my mouth. The seafood seemed to come alive instantly, a taste that was unforgettable.

Damai prides itself on having some integrity.

She wouldn't normally eat so rudely in front of strangers. But Li Haoyu's delicious seafood porridge was so good that she just couldn't stop drinking it.

Barley couldn't help but exclaim, "This might be the best porridge I've ever had! Are you a professional chef?"

Li Haoyu couldn't help but laugh.

DaMai is a severe socially awkward person, but now she can speak up on her own initiative. This is already quite an achievement for her, and it's also a huge recognition of Li Haoyu's cooking skills.

Li Haoyu was also very happy.

But he couldn't show it.

Li Haoyu said casually, "I really don't deserve the title of master chef. I just have a bit of an interest in cooking in my spare time. My cooking skills are only so-so."

Just at this time.

Xu Hongdou followed the smell and came in.

"Hey... I was wondering why you suddenly disappeared. Turns out you were secretly eating something delicious."

Li Haoyu saw Xu Hongdou arrive.

He waved his hand and said, "Haha, I'm doing this to complete the task you assigned me. Da Mai is someone who's rarely seen; it took me a lot of effort to find her."

At this moment, Xu Hongdou also took the initiative to greet Damai. "Hello, my name is Xu Hongdou, and I am the tenant of room number six in Youfeng Courtyard. It's nice to meet you."

Da Mai hummed in agreement.

She maintained her usual performance.

Li Haoyu quickly said, "Her name is Da Mai. She doesn't talk much and is quite timid, like a hamster. Don't scare her away. Otherwise, all my efforts will have been in vain."

Barley couldn't help but say, "I'm not that timid, okay?"

Li Haoyu couldn't help but say.

"Hahaha... It's my fault, I used the wrong words."

Li Haoyu smiled and made Xu Hongdou a bowl of porridge. "You should drink some too, you'll have the energy to work tonight. I have high hopes for you!"

Xu Hongdou was initially quite relaxed.

But Li Haoyu actually said that in front of Damai.

Xu Hongdou hurriedly explained, "Don't listen to his nonsense. I just lost a bet to him and have to give him a half-hour massage tonight. We have nothing to do with each other."

Da Mai said, "It's nothing. Even if you two have some kind of relationship, I don't care."

These words made Xu Hongdou frown.

Barley also realized that what he said was not quite right.

She continued, "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone about what happened between you two."

Isn't this just making things worse by trying to explain?

Li Haoyu quickly interrupted their conversation.

"Alright, you two stop having this time-traveling conversation. Red Bean, you should drink your porridge quickly, or it'll get cold and you'll waste such good food. ♔✌ 69รħuЖ.Ⓒㄖ𝔪 💢🍮"

Li Haoyu pushed the porridge in front of Xu Hongdou.

Xu Hongdou was instantly drawn in by the aroma of the porridge.

She immediately took a sip, but ended up burning herself.

Xu Hongdou couldn't help but stick out her tongue and exhale to relieve the burn on her tongue.

Li Haoyu couldn't help but laugh, "Eat slowly, there's still plenty of porridge. Nobody's going to take it from you."

Seeing this, Xu Hongdou glared at Li Haoyu.

But Xu Hongdou didn't say anything.

She silently finished the rest of the porridge.

Xu Hongdou continued, "Sometimes I really don't know why a grown man like you can cook so well. Anyway, with your skills, this dish would definitely be a bestseller at our hotel."

Li Haoyu said, "You flatter me. My cooking skills are just average."

At this moment, Da Mai, who hadn't spoken for a long time, finally spoke.

"I apologize for being so forward, but I'd like to ask a question."

"If there's any left over from this porridge, could I get another bowl or two? Nana probably hasn't eaten yet. I'd like to bring her two bowls to try."

"She probably has never had such delicious seafood porridge before."

After listening, Li Haoyu smiled and said, "Of course, but I have a condition. You have to give Nana her gift later, and you must make sure she accepts it."

"besides……"

Da Mai frowned. "What other requirements are there?"

Li Haoyu said, "Don't worry, it's nothing serious. Also, didn't you forget that you didn't finish introducing yourself? You should finish it now."

Da Mai nodded. "It's nothing really. My name is Zhou Qingtian. Everyone calls me Da Mai."

Xu Hongdou was waiting for her to continue.

Is that all?

At this point, Li Haoyu couldn't stand it anymore either, "Da Mai, what kind of work do you do?"

Da Mai touched his headband and said, "I don't have a job. I haven't worked since I graduated from university."

Xu Hongdou asked, "Freelancing?"

Da Mai sighed, but she was a little stunned.

She didn't know how to explain it to Xu Hongdou.

Li Haoyu quickly came to the rescue, saying, "Da Mai, don't rush to reveal the answer. I have a guess about your profession. See if I'm right?"

"After graduating from university, you can work from home, usually only designers and writers do that. But designers are constantly being pressured by clients to produce their work, they don't have your calm and collected demeanor."

"So I'm guessing you're a writer, right?"

Damai heard Li Haoyu say this.

She nodded with a sigh of relief. At least she wouldn't have to explain herself.

Xu Hongdou saw Da Mai nod in agreement.

She said with a hint of excitement, "This is the first time I've ever met a writer."

Da Mai replied, "Actually, I'm just a small-time online writer who sits at home. I don't have any representative works. I don't have much of a presence either. I'm just a nobody whose presence or absence doesn't matter."

Xu Hongdou hurriedly said, "How can you say that? I think you're amazing. Where can I read your novels? I'll go and read them later."

Da Mai replied directly, "I don't think there's any need to look at it. I didn't write it well and I don't want to be exposed. Let me finish processing it first before showing it to you."

Li Haoyu looked at Xu Hongdou with a puzzled expression.

He explained directly, "The word '掉马' means to reveal one's true identity, and '大麦' means that she wants to keep it a secret. She will reveal her identity when she has achieved success and fame."

After that, DaMai completely stopped talking.

The atmosphere instantly plummeted to freezing point.

This left Xu Hongdou at a loss.

Li Haoyu could tell that Da Mai really didn't want to be exposed, because her attitude was very firm. In just two or three seconds, Da Mai delivered her longest and most fluent speech of the day.

Xu Hongdou naturally sensed Damai's attitude.

But now she really doesn't know what to say.

Xu Hongdou then looked at Li Haoyu with pleading eyes.

This amused Li Haoyu. He pointed to his shoulder again, and then secretly made a two-sign when Da Mai couldn't see him.

Li Haoyu meant that the condition for this massage was that the duration be doubled. Seeing Li Haoyu's expression, Xu Hongdou instantly understood that he was trying to raise the price.

But the scene is really ugly right now.

So Xu Hongdou reluctantly agreed.

Li Haoyu said, "Da Mai, you should go now, otherwise the porridge will get cold and the taste will be more than half ruined. I see a thermos on the table, why don't you give it to her first, and we can talk again later."

After listening, Da Mai suddenly understood.

She hurriedly filled the porridge into a thermos and was about to deliver it to Linna.

As Da Mai walked out the door, Xu Hongdou couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Now that there were no outsiders present, she finally wanted to settle accounts with Li Haoyu. Xu Hongdou frowned and said, "How could you try to blackmail me like that?"

Li Haoyu replied innocently, "I didn't force you. I just gave you a choice. It was your own final decision, so how can you blame me?"

Xu Hongdou couldn't help but say, "Where did your gentlemanly manners go at a time like this?"

Li Haoyu said, "What's the use of that pretentious gentlemanly demeanor?"

"Could I get a beautiful woman to massage me for half an hour instead? You already agreed, so if you want to be a sycophant, I don't really care."

Seeing Li Haoyu's expression, Xu Hongdou was instantly speechless with anger. Li Haoyu found it hilarious to see Xu Hongdou so angry yet unable to express it.

He decided to add fuel to the fire, and Li Haoyu shook his head and said, "You don't want to hit me, do you? Otherwise, I'll really let you hit me to vent your anger."

Li Haoyu's behavior is infuriating.

What's even more infuriating is that Li Haoyu was even winking at Xu Hongdou!

Xu Hongdou couldn't hold back any longer.

Li Haoyu seemed to have a knack for stirring up her emotions with just a few words. She had been holding back for a while, but this time Xu Hongdou didn't want to endure it anymore.

Li Haoyu was certain that he wouldn't dare to make a move.

That's why he keeps provoking me.

Just because I'm not showing my teeth doesn't mean I'm some kind of Hello Kitty.

So Xu Hongdou took action.

She clenched her little pink fists as if to punch him.

However, Li Haoyu dodged it with a nimble movement.

Xu Hongdou made several attacks, but Li Haoyu dodged them all.

Li Haoyu even dodged while mocking Xu Hongdou, saying, "Are you still hungry? Why don't you finish your meal first before trying?"

"Or if you really want to play this kind of game, should I tie my feet up and just jump? That way you'll have a better chance of hitting me."

It has to be said that Li Haoyu's ability to make sarcastic remarks is simply off the charts.

This made Xu Hongdou even angrier.

She went from joking at the beginning to taking it more and more seriously.

Li Haoyu suddenly stopped.

Now, Xu Hongdou had finally succeeded. Xu Hongdou said triumphantly, "Run! Why don't you keep running? Go ahead and keep running if you dare!"

Li Haoyu said, "Look behind you, Da Mai is back."

However, Xu Hongdou completely ignored Li Haoyu.

Li Haoyu had already used this trick once before. Now he's actually using it again? Does he really think she's brainless?

Xu Hongdou said dismissively.

"So what if she's back? Even if it's in front of Damai, she can't stop me from beating you up."

At that moment, a faint sound came from behind Xu Hongdou.

"Did I disturb you?"

Xu Hongdou was stunned when she heard the voice.

Her fist, which had been waving in the air, stopped.

Because the owner of that voice really is DaMai.

Da Mai stood at the door and said weakly.

"What I wanted to say was that I should have washed the dishes after eating this time. But I really don't know how to wash dishes, so I'm sorry to trouble you this time, Red Bean."

"I'll make up for it next time I learn it. This time I'm really leaving and won't be coming back. Don't worry, I won't tell anyone what happened here. Now you can continue."

Xu Hongdou is now completely numb.

Seeing this, Li Haoyu couldn't help but laugh while holding his stomach.

"Now you can't blame me, can you? I reminded you more than once. You insisted on having this episode yourself. You're really hilarious."

"Turns out you're the real comedian!"

Xu Hongdou's expression also began to change.

Her face first turned from white to red, then from red to white.

Xu Hongdou couldn't help but say, "You come here right now!"

"I'm going to kill you!"
