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

Li Haoyu then asked, "What do you mean by 'bad water'?"

"Can you explain this to me? I have no idea what you're talking about!"

Guan Juer glanced at Li Haoyu.

"In short, you're not anyone to me right now. Besides, I've never admitted it..."

"What?"

Li Haoyu suddenly stood up from the hot spring.

"I never thought I'd be taken advantage of and then denied everything. They treated me like a slave. Someone even kissed me first, and now you're saying this?!"

Guan Juer looked at Li Haoyu's innocent expression.

She knew Li Haoyu was pretending to be stupid again.

He clearly took advantage of everyone, yet now he's unwilling to even make a basic promise. How can he say such things with such a straight face?

Guan Juer complained inwardly, but remained outwardly calm.

"If you say so, then so be it."

Her stubborn and inflexible attitude.

This left Li Haoyu speechless.

He decided to drag Guan Juer into the mess first, physically.

Li Haoyu said, "You sea queen, today I'll show you what's what."

However, Guan Juer managed to dodge his water-splashing attack.

The wet-wet tactic thus failed.

However, Li Haoyu had no intention of stopping there.

He suddenly slapped the surface of the hot spring water with his hand.

This time, Li Haoyu didn't aim deliberately, because it was completely unnecessary and impossible to control.

The hot spring water splashed out in all directions.

Now Guan Juer's clothes were not only wet, but her hair was also covered in water droplets.

Li Haoyu was very proud of his actions.

However, the price was receiving Guan Juer's death stare.

The air seemed to freeze.

This was the first time I sensed a murderous aura emanating from Guan Juer.

Guan Juer tidied her hair.

She was sitting on the tatami mat in front of Li Haoyu, staring at him with a rather fierce look.

Li Haoyu quickly draped a bath towel over her body.

Are you trying to drag me down with you?

Guan Juer said to Li Haoyu in an exasperated tone, "If that's really what you're thinking, get rid of that idea right now!"

I'm not trying to drag you into the water; I just want you to change into a bathrobe and soak in the hot spring together. I certainly can't say this outright.

Guan Juer's face was already very pale.

However, Li Haoyu did not keep his distance.

Instead, he moved a little closer.

This "reckless behavior" made her a little uncomfortable.

"If I do everything you say, will I be able to get closer to you?"

Li Haoyu continued.

"These are... completely different things."

Guan Juer's arrogance immediately subsided.

However, she still slapped Li Haoyu's hand off her shoulder.

Guan Juer was still thinking about what to say to warn Li Haoyu.

She suddenly noticed that Li Haoyu's gaze was strange; he was staring intently at her chest.

It turned out that it was because it got wet.

The shirt clung tightly to her body, creating a rather suggestive look.

Guan Juer realized what was happening and covered herself with her hands.

"What are you looking at!"

"Everyone has a love for beauty, like a lotus emerging from the water. Is that wrong?" Li Haoyu replied.

The angry expression on Guan Juer's face stopped, then gradually disappeared, finally turning into a blush.

Looks promising!

Li Haoyu had been observing Guan Juer's micro-expressions.

If she wasn't interested, although she wouldn't tell him to get lost like Qiu Yingying did, she would still refuse in a very tactful way.

However, Guan Juer has begun to slowly accept his various arrangements, and is even a little happy about them, though perhaps she herself has not realized it.

"Here'll get you a new bath towel."

Li Haoyu got up and prepared to leave.

But just as she brushed past Guan Juer, she reached out and grabbed Li Hao's arm.

But Li Haoyu turned his head to look at her.

Guan Juer lowered her hand again.

"What do you mean? Don't you want to be here alone?"

Li Haoyu asked another question.

"No need to bring anything else, this bath towel is enough!"

Guan Juer then silently dried her hair with a bath towel.

He didn't say a word.

Li Haoyu looked at Guan Juer speechlessly.

This is the problem with introverted girls. Even if they're internally raging, they won't say a word and everyone else has to guess.

In fact, Li Haoyu was absolutely right.

Because Guan Juer was also conflicted at that moment.

On the one hand, she disliked Li Haoyu.

Because Li Haoyu clearly had ulterior motives, was trying to take advantage of her, and even deliberately got her wet.

If this happened to anyone else, Guan Juer would never speak another word to such a man, and would most likely never speak to him again.

On the other hand, Guan Juer is somewhat inseparable from Li Haoyu, and even likes him very much.

The gentle encouragement during the cycling race, the magnificent sunrise on the mountaintop... even the current hot spring farce are all vividly etched in her memory.

These experiences opened up a new world for her, and even in the context of her recent life, they were quite "unconventional".

This is also a very precious memory for Guan Juer.

Now, when she thinks back on it, she can't help but smile.

However, Guan Juer quickly regained control of her emotions.

She still didn't want Li Haoyu to see her, otherwise that scoundrel would be gloating again.

Ultimately, Guan Juer was still too proud to admit it.

I don't want to appear too proactive.

If Guan Juer won't let me leave, then I won't leave.

Li Haoyu simply sat down next to her and put a few eggs into the hot spring next to her.

"You can eat the onsen tamago (soft-boiled egg) in a little while. This time it's the real deal, no cheating on anyone, young or old. I can even perform a trick of cracking an egg open on your forehead for you in a bit."

Guan Juer glanced at the eggs, placed her hands on her lap, but remained silent.

This silence lasted for a long time.

"I want to go back."

Guan Juer's answer surprised Li Haoyu.

He didn't expect Guan Juer to say that.

Li Haoyu naturally couldn't let her go like that.

"Guan Juer, we've known each other for quite a while now."

"yes."

"Guan Juer, will you be my girlfriend?"

…………

Guan Juer finally couldn't hold back any longer.

She shook off Li Haoyu's hand, her tone carrying a hint of resentment: "Are you just saying this on purpose because you're afraid I'll leave?"

Li Haoyu said seriously, "Of course not. Would I joke about my happiness for the rest of my life just to avoid making you angry?"

This left Guan Juer both amused and exasperated.

"Your confession is so perfunctory. You just said it casually and that's it. You have no sincerity at all and you just want me to be your girlfriend."

Li Haoyu said with a serious expression, "I'm really not good at confessing my feelings. Besides, with my qualifications, I don't even need to go through that step."

Of course, Li Haoyu made this up out of thin air.

His romantic history is enough to fill a million-word novel.

However, sometimes playing dumb is much better than telling the truth.

"Wandering Through the Film and Television World: Starting from the Golden Years" ranked highly in the Cola Novels readers' poll for the best urban novel!

However, most girls don't really like guys with a lot of dating experience. They think that if a guy has a lot of dating experience, he must be a player, and that too much sweet talk makes him seem dangerous.

Especially for someone like Guan Juer who hasn't had much romantic experience,

To her, Li Haoyu was like a rose with thorns—beautiful and alluring, yet she was afraid of hurting herself.

Li Haoyu actually knew this too.

What is Guan Juer's ideal love like?

It's nothing more than two people growing together, resonating with each other on a spiritual level, and establishing secret codes and tacit understandings that belong only to the two of them... things like these that are truly heartwarming.

But reality is rarely so ideal.

Li Haoyu spread his hands, indicating his helplessness.

Guan Juer continued, "I don't believe what you're saying. There's not a single truth in what you're telling. Besides, even if you have no experience, haven't you watched any TV dramas?"

Li Haoyu nodded. "I've definitely watched the TV series, but the plots in those shows are just for fooling young girls."

Guan Juer curled her lips: "Whether it's true or false, at least show some sincerity. You can't even be bothered to fool us, and you still have the nerve to say so much."

Li Haoyu really couldn't be bothered to complain.

That idea is incredibly naive.

More importantly, Li Haoyu actually imitated scenes from TV shows.

This approach is not only tedious and inefficient, but also unlikely to yield good results.

Without hesitation, Li Haoyu put his arm around Guan Juer's waist.

The two exchanged a glance.

As a result, Guan Juer immediately covered her mouth with her hand.

She said in a muffled voice, "Don't think I don't know what you're up to."

Li Haoyu was speechless.

Was it that obvious? She actually guessed it.

The plan to force a kiss failed before it even began.

However, Li Haoyu decided to continue his pursuit. After a pause, he said, word by word, "Guan Juer, I like you. Please be my girlfriend!"

Guan Juer still refused to give in.

She continued to cover her mouth with her hand to prevent Li Haoyu from attacking her.

"You seemed a little more sincere this time, but I still want to reject you. You didn't even offer a gift; it was clearly a spur-of-the-moment decision."

Li Haoyu was genuinely angry.

At first, Guan Juer's behavior could be attributed to a young girl's temper.

But to still offer a gift under these circumstances would be putting him in a difficult position and hoping he would back down.

He didn't drive his car over, so he didn't have any gifts for her.

This was clearly just an excuse she was making.

However, Li Haoyu is a man with a personal space.

Since his successful business venture in the world of Ode to Joy, Li Haoyu had bought a lot of gold bars and precious jade artifacts and stored them in his personal space. He originally planned to return to the real world to cash them out and achieve true financial freedom and a carefree life.

I never thought I could use it for confessing my feelings.

Guan Juer completely miscalculated.

However, the more certain you are to victory, the more you must remain calm. Otherwise, how could there be a saying that someone with a heart full of turmoil yet a calm face is worthy of being called a general?

Li Haoyu not only needs to remain calm.

He also had to pretend that he was about to lose.

This is the only way to deceive Guan Juer, maximize profits, and obtain the greatest gains from her.

He began to recall the perfect gift in his personal space to express his feelings, while simultaneously putting on a desperate expression.

Li Haoyu, forcing a smile, asked, "If, and I mean if... I really did prepare a gift to confess my feelings, would you accept my confession?"

Guan Juer wanted to tell Li Haoyu the truth.

Actually, it has nothing to do with whether Li Haoyu gave her a gift or what kind of gift he prepared. She just wasn't ready to start a relationship yet.

However, she looked at Li Haoyu with a somewhat forlorn expression.

Guan Juer thought for a moment: "If it's something he really puts his heart into, he'll probably say yes. What girl wouldn't want a touching confession?"

Li Haoyu immediately seized the opportunity: "If I give myself to you now, then you'll be my girlfriend?"

"No... no, besides, what can you possibly have on offer?"

"Give me a straight answer first, whether it's possible or not."

Li Haoyu stared intently.

His words were relentless, giving Guan Juer no chance to catch her breath.

Guan Juer was initially a little worried.

But right now, Li Haoyu is in a hot spring.

Most importantly, he was only wearing a bathrobe, so everything on his body was completely exposed, and there was nothing to hide.

Guan Juer thus became unruly.

"Sure, if you can do it, why not?"

Guan Juer really didn't want to back down.

This is a rare opportunity to take the initiative.

Li Haoyu placed one hand on the hair behind Guan Juer's ear.

"The gift is really coming! Are you ready?"

Guan Juer couldn't help but laugh at Li Hao's tone.

Does he really think he's acting in a TV series?

It would be a miracle if Li Haoyu could actually produce a gift, unless he were David Copperfield or Liu Qian.

So Guan Juer calmly watched Li Haoyu, wanting to see how he would handle the situation:

But she suddenly felt a chill on her neck.

As a result, Guan Juer looked down.

The thing she was wearing around her neck was actually a small green jade pig.

This made her heart skip a beat.

Although Guan Juer didn't know much about jade, considering Li Haoyu's financial strength and the necklace's crystal-clear texture, she immediately judged that it was quite valuable.

Guan Juer no longer cared where Li Haoyu had turned into a necklace; she immediately wanted to take it off and return it to Li Haoyu.

Li Haoyu smiled smugly and said, "This time there shouldn't be any problems, right? You have jade to give to a beautiful woman, what else do you have to say?"

Guan Juer was stunned.

She then remembered her bet with Li Haoyu.

She asked in astonishment, "How did you do that?"

Li Haoyu smiled and said, "We'll talk about that later. Isn't this gift a perfect match? And do you know why it's a pig necklace?"

Guan Juer genuinely didn't understand: "Why?"

Li Haoyu explained, "Because you're as stupid as this pig."

"Hahaha......"

Guan Juer's face was full of disbelief.

Li Haoyu saw Guan Juer's dazed expression.

He became even more smug: "Alright, now that I've kept my promise, it's time for you to pay the price."

Guan Juer's mouth was wide open.

She still couldn't understand how all of this had happened right under her nose.

Without saying a word, Li Haoyu hugged Guan Juer.

He's about to start inspecting the goods.

The bath towels were covered in Guan Juer's scent; the faint fragrance was quite alluring.

Li Haoyu lowered his head and took a closer sniff.

He sensed a faint milky scent, but Li Haoyu couldn't tell if it was Guan Juer's natural body odor or the fragrance of her shower gel. However, one thing was certain: it smelled wonderful.

It would be even more perfect if you could smell it slowly in the room.

Li Haoyu thought of this.

He couldn't help but smile wickedly.
