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

"Can your body handle pushing yourself so hard?"

Li Haoyu asked. 🐯☹ 🎁♣

Zheng Juan shook her head and remained silent.

"If you're like this, I'm actually a little worried about you."

Li Haoyu looked at Zheng Juan, who remained silent.

A thought suddenly flashed through his mind: "If I told you there was another way to change your life, would you be willing?"

Zheng Juan asked timidly, a little curious.

"What method?"

Looking at Zheng Juan's bewildered expression, Li Haoyu's dark eyes held a pure and innocent charm. Her skin was as white as freshly peeled water chestnuts, possessing a serene beauty.

Li Haoyu couldn't control his impulse.

He said directly, "How about we become a couple? I'll support you, and all the problems will be solved."

With a "thump".

This time, Zheng Juan was truly terrified.

She accidentally knocked over the bowl of porridge.

Fortunately, all the porridge inside was finished, so she wasn't burned.

"Oh, I just want to learn how to make popsicles, does that mean I have to date you?"

Zheng Juan's reaction was quite strong.

She had shrunk to the corner, her body trembling slightly.

Her eyes were even a little red, yet she looked like she wanted to cry but dared not. Zheng Juan seemed to have suffered a great injustice, but dared not directly vent her anger on Li Haoyu.

She truly evokes pity in me.

"Alright, there's no need to go to such lengths. I was just making a suggestion, I didn't ask you to agree. I respect your wishes."

"Fine, I'll teach you how to make popsicles first. Otherwise, it'll feel like I'm threatening you, which would be really boring."

Zheng Juan perked up immediately.

Finally, the important business has arrived.

Seeing Zheng Juan like this, Li Haoyu felt a little hurt.

Isn't being his girlfriend better than making popsicles?

Li Haoyu is now at least a professional writer.

He couldn't help but move closer to Zheng Juan again, which still startled her.

Li Haoyu shook his head helplessly and took out another stack of papers from the table behind her.

This left Zheng Juan completely bewildered.

Does Li Haoyu want me to see his writing again? Although he does write well, isn't this a bit too narcissistic?

Li Haoyu also saw through Zheng Juan's thoughts.

"Don't think I'm that bored. Just look at this and you'll see."

Zheng Juan, realizing her thoughts had been read, lowered her head and accepted the gift.

However, Zheng Juan only glanced at it briefly.

Her eyes were glued to it.

Zheng Juan actually burst out laughing as she watched.

Li Haoyu couldn't help but say, "Is it really okay for you to laugh like that? That's the culmination of my hard work last night, spending several hours straight."

Li Haoyu had actually made preparations long ago.

He handed Zheng Juan his homemade popsicle recipe manual. 🍧💋 ➅➈s卄Ⓤ𝔁.ᶜⓞΜ 🐠🐯

He collected a lot of guides before he transmigrated to get his hands on this, and he even actually made it, and it was mostly successful. It can be said to be a very practical instruction manual.

But Zheng Juan was smiling so happily.

I guess they'll see the little figure in the manual.

This was actually Li Haoyu's good intention, but his illustrations were simply drawn in a minimalist style.

Li Haoyu looked at Zheng Juan, who seemed to want to laugh but dared not.

He said directly, "Stop holding back. This is a minimalist art style, you understand?"

Sure enough, Li Haoyu had just finished speaking.

Zheng Juan couldn't help but laugh.

However, she still gave Li Haoyu some face; at least Zheng Juan covered her mouth with her hand.

Zheng Juan said softly, "Actually, I think your drawing is quite good. Although it's simpler, it's easier for people to understand. I really think it's pretty good."

Li Haoyu waved his hand helplessly.

"Alright, that's enough. The more you say, the more guilty you'll seem."

"You should take a good look at my manual. If there's anything you don't understand, just ask me now."

Li Haoyu also realized that he was being a bit too hasty.

But this is quite normal. Given that such a vibrant and beautiful woman like Zheng Juan is in his life, it's hard for any normal man to act so impulsively.

Li Haoyu glanced at Zheng Juan, who was reading intently.

He first cleaned up the broken bowls on the ground, then turned around and got some fruit for Zheng Juan as well.

Zheng Juan glanced at Li Haoyu furtively. Actually, she wanted to refuse, but seeing the handbook in her hand, she felt embarrassed to decline Li Haoyu's kindness.

Zheng Juan ate one as a gesture.

She said softly, "Very sweet fruit."

Li Haoyu didn't care when he saw it.

His gaze drifted to the window, giving Zheng Juan time to look at the manual. Li Haoyu's gentlemanly gesture finally put Zheng Juan at ease.

She couldn't help but think back to before she left the house.

The things her mother told her to do:

"Xiaojuan, you need to be extra careful this time you go out. You only met that man a short while ago, and he not only gave you advice but also wanted to go into business with you."

"This is a bit too enthusiastic; he's probably got a crush on you. If you don't like him, you should try to avoid him."

Actually, she was a little unsure how to face Li Haoyu next.

Just as Zheng Juan was feeling a bit lost, she sensed something was off. She then realized that Li Haoyu had been watching her the whole time.

Zheng Juan felt her face burning.

"I've already troubled you so much this time. You not only treated me to breakfast but also helped me so much. I should go now."

As Zheng Juan spoke, she got up from the heated kang (a traditional Chinese bed-stove) to leave.

Li Haoyu did not stop him.

He simply followed Zheng Juan silently to the door.

He then took out half a bag of glutinous rice flour and said.

"These are the raw materials I'm giving you. You can start by making the most basic popsicles. Once you've succeeded and made some money, you can follow the instructions in my manual to make other flavors of popsicles."

Li Haoyu shoved the bag directly into Zheng Juan's hands.

She didn't have time to refuse, and was just about to say something to express her gratitude.

As a result, Li Haoyu had already turned and left.

Zheng Juan watched Li Haoyu's retreating figure.

Zheng Juan couldn't explain it for a moment.

What exactly are her feelings for Li Haoyu?

······

Li Haoyu returned home.

He said directly, "Why aren't you coming out yet? You've been hiding there eavesdropping for ages."

Li Xixi then emerged from the corner.

"So you knew I was eavesdropping all along? Then why were you pretending not to know? I thought I was hiding it well."

Li Haoyu couldn't help but roll his eyes at Li Xixi.

When she said she hid it well, she simply meant squatting down.

This is far too perfunctory.

It would be strange if you couldn't see it.

"Alright, I'm not going to hold it against you for eavesdropping. You heard my conversation with Zheng Juan just now. A bet's a bet, so you have to do what I ask from now on."

This surprised Li Xixi.

You should know that she heard everything clearly just now.

Zheng Juan is not Li Haoyu's girlfriend at all. How dare he make such a demand of himself? Doesn't Li Haoyu know that he hasn't won at all?

Li Haoyu noticed Li Xixi's surprised expression.

He didn't offer much explanation, but simply asked, "You drank the orange soda too, was it good?"

Li Xixi heard Li Haoyu say this.

She didn't quite understand Li Haoyu's idea of ​​being hungry.

But she nodded without hesitation.

This was indeed the best thing Li Xixi had ever tasted in her life. Although she had only drunk it once, she had completely fallen in love with the taste of orange soda.

"So if you want to keep drinking it in the future, just listen to me. Besides, didn't I already give you the chance to keep betting with me?"

"But even though you guessed right, you didn't dare stick to your judgment. This is another free lesson for you."

Li Haoyu had long since figured something out.

Sometimes the process doesn't matter at all; the result is what matters most.

"So you have to help me make Zheng Juan my real girlfriend from now on. That's something you absolutely must do. That's my plan!"

Li Haoyu made the decision immediately.

Li Xixi: ? ? ?

What kind of robber logic is this!

…………

Li Haoyu patted Li Xixi's head.

As a result, he strongly resisted.

"Didn't I tell you before, don't keep touching my head?"

"And this time, I will never again aid and abet evil."

Li Xixi even appeared very angry. She helplessly pushed Li Haoyu's hand away, while righteously accusing Li Haoyu.

This person is absolutely shameless.

It's one thing for him to lie to me about the bet before, but now he's asking me for help with something as simple as finding a partner?

I'm a girl too!

I'm not someone who's just a tool to help him find a girlfriend!

What a bad man.

Li Haoyu looked at her resolute expression and said.

"Are you really not going to help me? I've done so many things for you."

"You think I'm using you to pursue Zheng Juan? You're so wrong! I'm also seeking creative inspiration."

"You have to understand that I'm currently engaged in creative work, and inspiration is extremely important. And a sweet romance has really helped me a lot."

Li Haoyu could spout off whatever came to mind about the lake.

However, Li Xixi is also a clever little devil.

In addition, she had already spent so much time with Li Haoyu.

It would be strange if she believed Li Haoyu's nonsense.

So no matter how eloquently Li Haoyu spoke, she remained unmoved, even stubbornly and defiantly tilting her head back to stare at him.

It seems like they're determined to fight to the bitter end.

Li Haoyu wasn't in a hurry; he just smiled and looked at her.

The two even remained locked in a stalemate for quite a while.

Li Haoyu took the initiative to break the silence.

"You're my only hope. You must have noticed how much I like Zheng Juan. Besides, don't you think Zheng Juan is a bit like you from before?"

"How is it similar?"

This time, Li Xixi couldn't hold back any longer.

"Don't you think Zheng Juan is having a hard time right now? Her family is also in poor financial condition, which you should be able to tell without me saying it."

"But after learning more about her, I realized that Zheng Juan's situation was much more difficult than I had imagined. She also has a blind younger brother, which is why she is working so hard."

"You see, the reason I hesitated for so long wasn't because I was reluctant to give up the popsicle recipe. The main reason was that I was worried her body couldn't handle it."

Li Haoyu initially said that he also had selfish motives.

As he continued speaking, he became much more sincere.

This can also be seen from Li Xixi's reaction.

The expression on her face changed from initial disdain to gradual empathy, and finally to hesitation.

At this moment, Li Haoyu added, "And Zheng Juan is just as beautiful as you."

These words gave Li Xixi, who was initially touched, goosebumps all over.

"You're really good at saying nice things!"

Li Xixi didn't know how to evaluate Li Haoyu anymore.

"Thank you. I appreciate the compliment."

Li Haoyu said with a grin.

Because he knew that Li Xixi had said that.

That means she helped herself for the basic reason.

"After that, I thanked you for your hard work. If we succeed, I'll still treat you to orange soda."

Li Xixi: ……

This is truly speechless.

Li Haoyu had already begun to fantasize about what would happen after he succeeded.

What gives him that confidence?

However, she was indeed persuaded by Li Haoyu.

"But don't expect me to do anything excessive. At most, I can help you out, but you'll have to rely on yourself for the rest."

This is all outrageous.

Li Xixi suddenly felt like she was aiding and abetting evil.

She even began to worry about Zheng Juan's future.

"This is only fair, and besides, it ultimately depends on me in these matters. I'm someone who really respects a woman's own wishes."

"Didn't you see how I acted just now?"

"Don't you know how much I trust you?"

Li Xixi shook her head. "There's absolutely no trust."

"Then I'll give you some."

A few minutes later, Li Xixi was pulled away by Li Haoyu.

Why did you suddenly grab me and start walking? Where are you taking me?

Li Haoyu said, "You've complained to me about this several times already, so I'm taking you out for some fun and buying you some good food."

Li Haoyu still dragged her into the market.

If you want to win a woman's heart, just go on a shopping spree.

"Is there anything you'd like to buy?"

Li Haoyu asked with a smile.

"No, are you trying to bribe me? I won't break my principles so easily."

Li Xixi had already guessed what Li Haoyu wanted to do, so she directly tried to block his path.

"I'm not that calculating; I just wanted to get you out here and relax."

"Okay, I'll take out ten dollars. You have to spend it all before dark, or we won't go back."

Li Haoyu said it casually.

Li Xixi fell completely silent.

She truly didn't know how to evaluate Li Haoyu's extravagant and reckless approach. At first, she thought Li Haoyu was just talking.

But Li Haoyu was much crazier than he had expected.

The two had just arrived at the market.

He then embarked on a crazy shopping spree.

"Hey, how about this hair clip? I'll get one in red and one in pink, or maybe I'll just buy one of all seven colors?"

"This scarf looks really nice, Li Xixi, come and try it on."

"What? This is less than a dollar? Don't you have anything better?"

"This shampoo looks pretty good, please wrap it up for me."

"These flared pants are a bit ugly, but they seem to be the hottest trend right now. Why don't you try them on?"

Li Xixi felt that Li Haoyu had really gone mad.

This man is insane!
