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

Li Haoyu had already noticed Zhou Rong's subtle expression.

But he didn't care about any of that; as long as he enjoyed watching it, that was all that mattered. Anyway, Zhou Rong couldn't do anything about it.

Sometimes, when pursuing a girl, you can't just listen to her completely. Especially in situations like this, Li Haoyu knows that Zhou Rong actually has some feelings for him.

We must not relinquish the initiative.

Zhou Rong was, after all, just a young girl who had never even stepped out of school. She was still quite naive and ignorant.

Li Haoyu had not only experienced so many worlds, but also witnessed their diversity. This made it easy for Li Haoyu to bring Zhou Rong feelings she had never had before.

Because Zhou Rong certainly admired Feng Huacheng's talent.

But compared to Li Haoyu in front of him, it seemed nothing.

"The Rural Teacher" truly moved her deeply, especially since Li Haoyu even ate meat buns with her.

So even though Li Haoyu stared at her so brazenly.

She held back.

"Actually, I just really like poetry. Before you came along, Feng Huacheng was probably the only person who supported this hobby of mine."

Zhou Rong suddenly took the initiative to explain.

"I don't know why I like poetry. In my parents' eyes, it's a sign that I'm neglecting my studies and not doing my job properly."

But I just fell in love with it. Over the years, I've constantly recited poems and read books, but I've never imagined what it would feel like if life were without it.

Am I a strange girl?

Zhou Rong's words were indeed quite sudden.

But he wasn't surprised or found it hard to understand. In fact, he had also experienced this confusion and helplessness, feeling that no matter what he did, it was insignificant.

Li Haoyu's lowest point.

As he walked down the street, looking at the colorful neon lights and the sophisticated office buildings, he thought to himself: "How wonderful it would be if one of those buildings were my own."

The future is too bleak and too heavy.

It wasn't until Li Haoyu acquired the film simulator that he felt truly alive again, finally doing many things he had never dared to imagine before.

He heard Zhou Rong say that.

Li Haoyu not only didn't find her pretentious, but his liking for her increased even more.

This puzzled look makes Zhou Rong even more adorable.

This is what a young girl should be like, even though she is already much more outstanding than many people around her. But in essence, she is still just a little girl full of dreams.

Li Haoyu was very willing to help Zhou Rong.

Because she really is... very beautiful.

He thought this was a very normal thing. Not to mention that boys like pretty girls, when girls see a tall and handsome guy, don't they also turn around and take a second look?

Humans are visual creatures; we are all drawn to beautiful and attractive people and things. The love of beauty is universal!

This kind of thing starts with good looks, gets you captivated by talent, and stays loyal because of character. 🐝ൠ 😝🌷

The reality is that a pretty face and figure are the most direct ways to attract others, but even if you get to know a girl you don't like for a long time, you may not accept her.

While Li Haoyu was still admiring Zhou Rong's beauty.

Zhou Rong, however, seemed to have opened a floodgate, feeling that she had finally found someone to confide in, and wanted to say everything that had been bottled up in her heart.

Li Haoyu did not interrupt her.

What's the big deal? Just listen!

"Actually, it's not like I haven't told others this, but none of them understand me."

"I used to like copying poems, but when my dad saw it, he said I should copy Chairman Mao's quotations instead, which are much more positive and uplifting!"

"I've always been one of the top students in my class, but every time I read poetry, they see it as 'immoral' and a waste of time!"

"Many people say this kind of thing is useless, and I don't know how to refute them."

Zhou Rong lowered her voice, but spoke fluently.

Clearly, she had thought about this more than once, and had even kept it to herself for a long time.

Li Haoyu listened attentively to Zhou Rong's grievances.

He laughed and said, "How could it be useless?"

Why would it be useful?

Zhou Rong was a little confused.

These two sentences are not contradictory, so why did Li Haoyu say that?

Li Haoyu continued, "Everything that exists in the world is useful; there is nothing useless. Existence is its own justification."

"I'm not that interested in poetry, but I do like poetry."

Because I can say in moments of despair, "Have you not seen how the Changmen Palace closed down for Empress Chen? Life's disappointments know no bounds." And when I'm bored, I can say, "Trying the lamps is meaningless, and I have no mood for treading on snow."

When happy, he spoke of it, and was overjoyed, scattering poems and books as if in a frenzy.

It is because I love poetry that I have learned a lot of interesting little facts.

I now know that it is the osmanthus that makes the plum blossom jealous and the chrysanthemum ashamed; I now know that when the mountain flowers are in full bloom, it is the plum blossom that smiles among them; I now know that what seems like a flower yet is not a flower, and is left unappreciated as it falls, is actually the willow catkin.

That's such a cool thing.

Poetry and classical Chinese poetry can concisely elevate our emotions, enrich our knowledge, and broaden our horizons. Even if they don't bring any tangible benefits, so what?

Zhou Rong was thrilled by Li Haoyu's words.

Finally, someone understands her.

This is exactly what she has always wanted to hear, but no one has ever said it before.

Just as Zhou Rong was about to say something to thank Li Haoyu for his comfort,

"If you're still not happy, how about we go to the dance hall?"

Zhou Rong couldn't help but let out a "ha!"

How could this person say such outrageous things?

Zhou Rong looked at Li Haoyu with a surprised expression.

She cast a suspicious glance at him, but Li Haoyu remained completely unmoved, as if he had said something perfectly normal. 💣ඏ 69Şђu乂.𝓬𝓞Μ 🔥♦

Zhou Rong finally realized that Li Haoyu was not joking.

He was serious.

"You earn money by writing novels just to do these kinds of things?"

Li Haoyu rested his chin on his hand and thought for a moment: "Of course, it's not just this one thing. I want to try anything that's interesting. I think it will be very interesting."

Zhou Rong suddenly felt helpless.

She couldn't help but sigh.

"I don't have the guts to play along with your nonsense, although it seems that some places do organize similar activities. But I advise you to be careful, otherwise you won't be used to being locked up."

The bad man was just about to praise him when this happened.

Heaven really is blind, allowing such a talented person to exist.

Oh no, it seems like I'm getting a little carried away.

I accidentally blurted out what was on my mind.

The two of them were now preoccupied with their own thoughts, and the scene suddenly became awkward.

Li Haoyu added his own comment.

"Actually, I'm just giving an example. After finishing 'The Rural Teacher,' I felt completely drained and needed to find something to relax."

Zhou Rong's heart softened upon hearing this.

She suddenly remembered how she sometimes struggled with writing ideas and couldn't sleep all night long when she was brainstorming plots.

If an amateur novelist like myself feels this way, then a professional like Li Haoyu must be under even more pressure.

He's probably just a little frivolous in his daily life, but Li Haoyu must be very serious and focused when he's creating. So, it's not entirely incomprehensible that Li Haoyu wanted to relax a bit.

Who doesn't need to release stress sometimes? Don't we all find ourselves confiding in someone?

Zhou Rong said, as if possessed:

"That's too unreliable. Otherwise... I'll dance with you."

But Zhou Rong regretted it as soon as she finished speaking.

Zhou Rong couldn't help but curse herself in her heart: "Zhou Rong, what outrageous ideas are you having? You've only known Li Haoyu for a short time."

"You're going to dance with him, especially since you've only ever watched others dance and at most know how to strike a pose, but you don't actually know how to dance at all."

So as soon as Zhou Rong finished speaking, she stared nervously at Li Haoyu.

Perhaps driven to desperation, Zhou Rong's mind raced in the last few minutes. She had already come up with the only way to salvage the situation.

That means Li Haoyu only needs to make a slight excuse.

The moment he opened his mouth, she immediately changed her tune and backed down!

But Li Haoyu is no longer a naive young man.

He was overjoyed to hear Zhou Rong say that.

He immediately replied, "Of course! That's exactly what I've been hoping for."

What a load of rubbish! You were just saying it offhand!

Zhou Rong usually dislikes rude behavior from boys, let alone swearing. But right now, she's mentally cursing.

This shows just how depressed Zhou Rong was at that moment.

However, these were her own words, and she always valued her promises to others. So no matter how difficult it was, Zhou Rong was determined to bite the bullet and fulfill her promise to Li Haoyu.

While Zhou Rong was still struggling with various issues.

Li Haoyu said directly, "There's no time like the present. Why don't we go dancing right after dinner? That way we can digest our food."

"What do you think?"

Zhou Rong heard Li Haoyu say this.

She was absolutely furious. "Is it really necessary to be in such a hurry? I'm not going to cheat on you."

"Since you say you won't cheat, then what difference does it make whether you jump today or later?"

"Then we can dance today, okay?"

When Zhou Rong said this, she spoke almost one word at a time through gritted teeth.

Seeing this, Li Haoyu didn't bother to say anything more.

He pushed the other basket of steamed buns in front of Zhou Rong, saying, "You're eating so fast, why don't you eat this whole basket too? Dancing later will be physically demanding."

Li Haoyu wasn't just making this up.

After all, he and Wu Mei had eaten hot pot that morning. In addition, he had been sitting on the back of Zhou Rong's bicycle the whole way to the post office, so he hadn't expended any energy at all.

So he wasn't really hungry to begin with.

On the contrary, Zhou Rong seemed particularly interested in the steamed buns for some reason.

Zhou Rong ate the meat buns incredibly fast.

The wind whips up the remaining clouds!

At first, Li Haoyu thought the steamed buns here were exceptionally delicious.

Later, he tried the steamed buns here and found that although the buns had thin skins, thick fillings, and substantial ingredients, the taste was only so-so, and not even as good as the ones he made himself.

It seems Zhou Rong was really starving, so Li Haoyu decided to give all the food to her.

Now Zhou Rong didn't know how to refuse Li Haoyu. After all, she couldn't very well tell him the truth: "I'm actually not hungry at all. The reason I ate the buns so quickly was just because I was sulking with you."

It's just dancing, right? Who's afraid of who?

You're a grown man, do you think you're better than her?

……

After finishing his meal, Li Haoyu rode his old-fashioned bicycle and took Zhou Rong around looking for a suitable place to dance.

At this moment, Zhou Rong, who was sitting in the back seat, breathed a sigh of relief.

I was definitely overreacting to this.

Where can you find a place like this to dance?

She immediately relaxed.

Zhou Rong said to Li Haoyu, "Don't waste your time. Places like this do exist, but I don't even know where they are. How would you possibly find them?"

"How about we let it go this time and talk about it again next time?"

Li Haoyu turned around, revealing a mysterious smile, "You don't need to worry about that, I have connections."

Actually, Li Haoyu really had no way to deal with this before.

However, during his conversation with Wu Mei, he learned that the Nine Tigers and Thirteen Eagles had several entertainment venues, and this dance hall was one of them.

Although it's called a dance hall, it's actually just a converted, unused factory building. The floors are all ordinary hard surfaces, without much fancy decoration.

There were just a few cheap-looking LED strips hanging up, but that didn't affect the people dancing in the dance hall at all.

Everyone looked very happy.

Li Haoyu was naturally unmoved by this kind of dance hall setup.

However, this was a huge shock to a good student like Zhou Rong.

There were quite a few people in the dance hall.

However, they are mostly young people.

Li Haoyu noticed that Zhou Rong looked very nervous.

He whispered, "Don't be fooled by this place; it's actually where we all gather."

"Dancing is even simpler; you've seen the skits on the Spring Festival Gala, right? 'Tango, tango, it's just walking around lying down...'"

Zhou Rong was also amused by Li Haoyu.

"How can these be the same?"

Li Haoyu leaned down beside Zhou Rong and said, "What's the difference? To put it bluntly, look at how many of the dancers here actually know how to dance. It's just random swaying, isn't it?"

"It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say it's a chaotic mess. As long as you're confident enough, that's all that matters."

Zhou Rong nodded:

However, she still seemed a bit too tense and not quite relaxed.

In just a few minutes, Zhou Rong had already stepped on Li Haoyu's instep countless times.

Li Haoyu never said a word to Zhou Rong, because he knew that if he said anything to her even once, Zhou Rong would probably become even more nervous; in the worst-case scenario, she might even forget how to walk.

Beginners often have this kind of question:

Li Haoyu said to Zhou Rong, "If you don't know what to do, just move to the beat of the music. I'll guide you."

Zhou Rong, however, frowned deeply.

"You make it sound simple, but I don't know how to do it."

Li Haoyu said, "Then I'll walk you through it once, and you just silently count 1, 2, 3, 4, and follow my movements."

I must say, Zhou Rong is quite clever.

After a few tries, she became noticeably more skilled.

At least Li Haoyu's foot was spared considerable injury.

Li Haoyu also offered Yu Zhourong some encouragement, saying, "See, it's really simple, just dance to the music. You've done a great job."

Zhou Rong secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

At least I didn't embarrass myself any further.

"This is just the beginning; I'll get even better later."

Li Haoyu smiled upon hearing this.

She really is a girl who refuses to admit defeat.

So cute!
