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

Li Haoyu nodded and said.

"I see. I didn't expect you to be so vengeful."

"Just don't back down. I already have a plan. Just don't go back on your word when the time comes."

Zhou Rong is very confident now.

"I will not lose this time. You just wait."

Li Haoyu smiled when he heard this.

He waved to Zhou Rong and said, "Then I'll wait and see. I hope you succeed this time. I really have to go now. Good luck!"

After saying that, Li Haoyu turned to leave.

At this point, Zhou Rong still said, "You still haven't told me how to contact you. What if I win and you can't find me?"

Li Haoyu then nodded in realization.

Do you have paper and a pen?

"What are you doing?"

Zhou Rong was somewhat puzzled.

But she still took out paper and pen as Li Haoyu had instructed.

Li Haoyu didn't respond.

He took the paper and pen directly from Zhou Rong's hand.

He quickly wrote on it.

Li Haoyu handed the document to Zhou Rong and said, "This is my friend's address. I lived here for a long time before I became successful. If you need to contact me during this period, we can keep in touch by letter."

Zhou Rong glanced at the address Li Haoyu had written on the paper.

It's not far, is it?

Why write a letter instead of meeting in person?

Li Haoyu smiled and said, "Isn't this the kind of thing you like? Don't you know that distance makes the heart grow fonder?"

"Besides, I'm going to be in seclusion to write for a while now. It won't be long before I become a nationally renowned writer."

"I'm moving soon, so I want you to get used to writing and communication beforehand. Otherwise, I'm worried the change will be too drastic and you won't be able to handle it."

"Ha, you think you can be a great writer?"

Zhou Rong showed a puzzled expression.

In her opinion, Li Haoyu's ambition to become a great writer was simply outrageous.

It wasn't that she looked down on Li Haoyu.

Zhou Rong believes that becoming a writer is an extremely difficult thing. One must understand human nature, see through all the ugliness and evil in the world, and still remain an idealist.

But Li Haoyu in front of me... is quite a humorous person.

The writer seems to be a bit too far removed from him.

Zhou Rong didn't say much.

She could only reply perfunctorily, "Sure, send me your work as soon as you have it. I'll definitely read it carefully, and if it really wins me over, I'll do whatever you say from now on."

"You'll listen to everything I say?"

After listening, Li Haoyu looked Zhou Rong up and down with great interest.

He even gave me an aggressive look.

To Li Haoyu's surprise, Zhou Rong did not dodge this time.

She held her head high, like a proud white swan.

"If you can truly write something that I admire, I really wouldn't mind."

"However, I don't think you have the ability to write a work that I truly admire. There aren't many writers these days who can do that."

Li Haoyu looked at Zhou Rong's expression.

He almost forgot that Zhou Rong was an artistic young woman.

However, after this period of time, Li Haoyu also gained a basic understanding of the situation in this era. Young people today, deep down, admire romance, freedom, and even more so, talent.

There are actually quite a few girls like Zhou Rong.

However, there aren't many girls who would dare to cross half of China to pursue love based solely on a few letters with Feng Huacheng and their appreciation of his poetry.

However, Li Haoyu felt that Zhou Rong at that time liked Feng Huacheng not so much as he liked him as a poet.

And his talent in poetry.

This kind of liking is emotional.

This affection is filtered through the lens of a "fan's" perspective.

Just like in Li Haoyu's era, weren't there many people who admired the eternal god of the Chinese music scene, the head of the new Four Heavenly Kings, and the sorcerer of the music world...?

Back when Feng Huacheng was still Zhou Rong's "great poet".

This filter will never fade. And my affection for it will never diminish.

However, love is not easy to last if it doesn't translate into the practicalities of daily life, such as clothing, food, money, and sleep.

So the two of them ended up in a messy, chaotic situation.

However, this shows that Zhou Rong and Feng Huacheng were not yet pen pals.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have been so certain. If she already had someone she loved, she would have pursued that love without hesitation.

That's Zhou Rong's true personality.

So, did I steal Feng Huacheng's opportunity?

That would be absolutely fantastic!

Li Haoyu didn't want to compete with a hypocritical old man. Zhou Rong was still a pure young girl, so he would be the one to defile her... and save her.

After he made this judgment.

Li Haoyu's gaze towards Zhou Rong softened considerably.

Now that she's here, Zhou Rong will take control of her own life from now on.

A fresh start is really a good thing.

"Why aren't you saying anything? Have you lost confidence after I said a few things to you?"

I'm actually getting cared about?

Or is he really that fragile in Zhou Rong's eyes?

Li Haoyu couldn't help but laugh; it had been a long time since someone had looked down on him like this.

Li Haoyu didn't want to say too much.

But then a thought crossed his mind.

Li Haoyu suddenly thought of an interesting hypothesis. 👻💥 🐼🐠

He chuckled as he said, "So, Miss Zhou, what if I actually succeed? But I don't like you then? What would you do?"

"Could it be that he's going to force himself on her?"

Zhou Rong felt somewhat helpless.

What's on his mind all the time?

She's truly blindly confident. She likes him, and he doesn't even reciprocate... Who does Li Haoyu think he is?

"Assumptions are meaningless, but if I really like someone, I will bravely pursue them and break through all obstacles."

"Those we love are separated by mountains and seas, but mountains and seas can be leveled."

"But I doubt you have the ability. Just you wait and see. I'd like to see what your first work is like; I'm afraid it'll be worse than mine."

"That would be really funny."

"Let's see how it goes. This time it probably won't take too long, maybe three months at most."

Li Haoyu smiled calmly.

"I won't say much more now; in the end, let the work speak for itself."

"Alright, then I'll wait to be your first reader. I hope I can see your work as promised then, and I hope you won't stand me up."

"You can leave now. You still have friends waiting for you."

"Thank you for reminding me, I really have to go now," Li Haoyu said sincerely.

"Don't try to downplay it like that!"

"You're making it sound like I'm destined to lose. Don't think you're the only one who can write; I'll write something myself, and we'll have a direct competition."

"I think I'm definitely better than you."

The competition is suddenly starting...

Zhou Rong, why is your competitive spirit so strong? It's a pity you're throwing eggs against rocks. I have the support of an entire era behind me. Isn't it a bit unfair to bully people like this?

Let's leave those aside for now... Who told Zhou Rong to be so proud and unwilling to admit defeat?

He used to only watch TV dramas and read novels.

He hadn't yet realized this side of Zhou Rong.

Indeed, blindly believing everything in books is worse than having no books at all. How can a living, breathing little girl be described in just a few words?

"Well, I actually have a lot of faith in your abilities. But I think we shouldn't compete again this time."

Li Haoyu said, "I'll just say one last thing: what will you do if you lose all of these bets?"

"That's absolutely impossible."

Zhou Rong's gaze was firm, and her eyes were filled with a confident light.

She said each word with force, "Don't underestimate me, I'm an indestructible tough pea."

"That's good, then I can rest assured."

This time, Li Haoyu is really gone.

It looks very ordinary and casual.

As Zhou Rong watched Li Haoyu's retreating figure, she felt a strange sense of emotion.

It's as if I really am going to lose.

Zhou Rong couldn't help but wonder, "Could we really lose?"

No, it won't happen.

…………

Li Haoyu hurriedly returned.

He saw Li Xixi still squatting there resting.

He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

He couldn't control himself when he met Zhou Rong and accidentally pretended for a while.

As a result, we are now much later than the agreed time.

Fortunately, Li Haoyu had repeatedly told her before he left, "No matter what happens, you must stay where you are and wait for me."

It seems that Li Xixi is quite obedient now.

He patted Li Xixi's shoulder apologetically.

"I'm sorry I'm late. We can go home now. Why aren't you up? We can go home now."

Li Xixi frowned and glanced at Li Haoyu.

But he still didn't get up.

Li Haoyu thought to himself.

This must be Li Xixi's silent protest.

He hurriedly said to Li Xixi, "How about this, we still have some loach left at home. I'll make you a kung fu dish: Loach Drilling into Tofu. Have you ever heard of it?"

"Just hearing the name, you can imagine how delicious this dish must be. Doesn't it sound like the loach is incredibly fresh and the tofu is incredibly tender?"

"I guarantee you'll drool when you see this dish." Li Haoyu found it a little strange that Li Xixi didn't react.

Li Xixi is a total foodie.

There's not a single happy reaction from him now.

Was she really hurt by him? After all, she was still quite young, so it wasn't surprising. Li Haoyu felt guilty, so he quickly squatted down and whispered comforting words to her.

Before squatting down, Li Haoyu even wondered if Li Xixi was secretly wiping away tears behind his back.

What Li Haoyu actually saw was completely different from what he had imagined.

Li Xixi had a big smile on her face; she didn't look sad at all.

"If you're not angry, why don't you get up?"

Li Haoyu asked with some confusion.

Li Xixi curled her lip in disdain, "Do you think I didn't want to? It's your fault for coming back so late. I've been squatting here for ages, my legs are numb now."

"Your leg is numb. Get up right now and let me try it."

Li Haoyu: …………

"Although I'm not angry, I'm still quite interested in what you said about loaches crawling through tofu. You can't go back on your word, or I'll really look down on you."

Li Xixi said smugly.

She never expected that because her foot was numb, she would be able to eat another delicious dish.

Actually, this waiting time is nothing to her; she used to have to walk over two hills to get to school.

She finally stood up, stretched, and said, "I never expected that after taking a nap while squatting down, I'd get to eat delicious food when I got home. It's the perfect day."

"If there's another good thing like this next time, be sure to call me."

Li Haoyu glanced at Li Xixi.

He nodded helplessly.

"Don't worry, I always keep my word. But this dish is actually quite troublesome to make; you're lucky."

Li Xixi chuckled: "Then thank you."

"Then let's hurry up and go. If it gets any later, it will be too dark and the road will be difficult to walk on. Be careful not to fall again." Li Haoyu still gave a small retort.

However, Li Xixi patted her thigh.

He clearly didn't care what Li Haoyu said.

Li Xixi still had a playful, smiling expression.

"Never mind, I'll give it to you now."

Li Haoyu called out to Li Xixi, who was walking ahead of him.

"What's wrong? Why are you changing your mind so quickly...?"

But he saw what Li Haoyu was holding.

Li Xixi was stunned, and couldn't say anything more.

She said, "I can't accept these shoes."

Li Haoyu continued, "Your shoes have been patched and mended so many times that even my skills couldn't save them."

"Plus, it got soaked in water while we were catching fish, so it's completely ruined now. We still have to walk up a mountain road later, so let's not dawdle and change it and go home."

"Anyway, I can deduct the food stamps for the shoes from your food rations. If one day isn't enough, I'll deduct a week; if a week isn't enough, I'll deduct a year, until I've deducted enough."

"That way you can wear it without feeling guilty."

"ha?"

Li Xixi wondered if she had misheard. She had been quite touched, but Li Haoyu was actually going to deduct her food rations. What a despicable man!

I really shouldn't have had even the slightest illusion about him.

Li Xixi heard Li Haoyu say this.

Without further hesitation, she put on the new shoes, but she couldn't bear to throw away the old ones.

Li Xixi looked at the old shoes that had been with her for several years. "It really is time to say goodbye to you." She thought about taking them home to see if they could be used for anything else.

She put the shoes in the empty basket after the fish were sold, and then hurriedly chased after them.

After putting down his shoes, Li Haoyu actually left alone first.

This is absolutely outrageous!

When Li Haoyu saw Li Xixi catching up, a satisfied smile finally appeared on his lips.

This girl responds better to force than to gentleness.

You really can't give her sunshine, otherwise she'll really keep shining forever.

The two walked side by side on their way home.

Li Haoyu's thoughts began to wander. He pondered what kind of work he should produce as his first step towards becoming a great writer. Due to the unique circumstances of this era, there were many things he couldn't write casually.

For example, some popular songs were labeled as decadent music for a long time. Therefore, even though Li Haoyu prepared quite a bit before setting off...

But he still hadn't made up his mind.

We need to give Zhou Rong a real shock.

Otherwise, it would be too boring.
