HuaYu14: Female celebrities are going too fast.

Bai Mengyan was stunned. Could Zhou Xun really be that kind of person?

Did I misjudge her?

She considered reaching into her bag for the alarm, but in such a high-end neighborhood, the soundproofing must be excellent.

If we take out the alarm, not only will the sound not travel, but it might also agitate him.

Zhou Xun: The soundproofing in this house is really good; I've personally tested it. I shouted so loudly, but the people downstairs didn't hear me.

"Zhou Xun, you..."

Bai Mengyan stepped back, her back pressed against the door.

Zhou Xun looked at her taut jawline and slightly trembling eyelashes, and suddenly laughed, all traces of his wolfhound demeanor vanishing.

"Just kidding." He turned around and took a pair of pink cat-face slippers from the shoe cabinet.

This is a new one that Zhou Xun bought; he put away all the junk in the room.

Make sure you can't see a single hair from that prickly hair.

"Come in, don't stand in the doorway."

Zhou Xun lectured, "It's only because I'm a gentleman that you've been taken advantage of. If it were anyone else, you would have been completely taken advantage of long ago."

Bai Mengyan calmed down, thankfully Zhou Xun was just playing a not-so-funny joke on her.

When she heard Zhou Xun's words, she rolled her eyes so hard they almost reached the sky.

"Am I that stupid? To just casually go home with any man?"

"You really scared me to death! I thought you..."

Bai Mengyan forced herself to remain calm, changed into slippers, walked to the sofa, and sat down, keeping a distance of one seat from Zhou Xun.

Zhou Xun poured two cups of warm water from the electric kettle, took a sip himself, and then pushed the other cup in front of Bai Mengyan:

"Sorry, just kidding. Go get some water." He added with a smile, "If I liked you, I would pursue you myself."

"Oh, really..." Bai Mengyan looked up at him.

Zhou Xun nodded very seriously.

Bai Mengyan's expression was still a bit stiff. At this moment, [JieJieJie] ran out of the cat's bed.

First she jumped onto the sofa, and then she jumped into Bai Mengyan's arms.

Looking at the adorable kitten in her arms, Bai Mengyan's stiff demeanor vanished, and she smiled.

"Zhou Xun, your cat recognizes me."

Actually, it would climb into the arms of any beautiful woman. Zhou Xun had every reason to suspect that this cat was a pervert who had traveled through time.

"Of course," he said with a smile. "Haven't we met before? You're so beautiful, isn't it normal to be remembered?"

After Zhou Xun finished speaking, he got up and left.

"Does that include you too?" Bai Mengyan glanced at his back before focusing on petting the cat.

"I didn't bring any snacks today, I'll bring you some next time." She tapped [JieJieJie]'s nose.

"Don't bring it, it's getting so fat it's practically a ball." Zhou Xun returned, holding a few more pages of paper.

[JieJieJie] meowed at Zhou Xun a few times in protest.

"If your owner won't give you food, I will." Bai Mengyan shook the cat's head.

[JieJieJie] meowed twice and rubbed against her chest.

"Didn't you want to learn acting?" Zhou Xun handed her a few pages of paper. "I've prepared two scenes; take a look."

Bai Mengyan put down the cat, her expression turning serious. She took the few pages of paper from Zhou Xun's hand and looked at them.

One is Yun Zhifan's monologue in "Secret Love in Peach Blossom Land", and the other is Sifeng's monologue in "Thunderstorm".

"Where did you get this?"

Bai Mengyan flipped through the paper with some surprise. The paper was new, with neat edges, as if it had just been printed.

"I got them printed at the print shop yesterday," Zhou Xun said truthfully. "I just picked some randomly."

Where can you just pick one randomly?

Bai Mengyan used the rudiments she had learned from Zhou Xun to tell that these were scenes that required emotional manipulation, and that the range of emotions involved was quite wide.

It's suitable for practice and very helpful for her.

She thought of how he had just finished filming last night, and then he did this for her right after finishing filming...

"Could this be what Zhou Xun meant by 'pursuing her'? So Zhou Xun really likes me?"

Bai Mengyan calmed herself down, using a nonchalant attitude to mask her inner turmoil:

"Thanks."

"You're welcome." Zhou Xun leaned back on the sofa. "Read Yun Zhifan's passage aloud."

"..."

Zhou Xun then explained these two passages to Bai Mengyan.

He discovered that even though he taught them all, the teaching methods were the same.

Bai Mengyan's learning progress, comprehension, and learning ability are all much worse than Zhang Ruonan's.

In terms of work ethic, the two are equally diligent and persistent.

If there's anything I don't understand, I'll ask Zhou Xun to explain it clearly.

An hour later, Zhou Xun took a sip of water:

"Alright, that's enough for this morning, let's have lunch."

"Okay." Bai Mengyan nodded, then looked at Zhou Xun and asked, "Am I a little slow?"

Zhou Xun put down his water glass, smiled at her, and said, "You're quite self-aware, aren't you?"

"and you……"

Zhou Xun waved his hand and said, "Teachers don't dislike stupid students, they only dislike those who are stupid but unwilling to ask questions or take the initiative to learn."

Bai Mengyan put herself in the shoes of the former, thinking, "I should belong to the former group."

"So that means Zhou Xun doesn't dislike her."

"But why am I a little excited?"

"What do you want to eat? I'll order takeout, it's on me."

Zhou Xun's words interrupted Bai Mengyan's thoughts.

Bai Mengyan shook her head and said, "Takeout is unhealthy."

"Shall we eat out?"

"Do you have any vegetables in your refrigerator?" Bai Mengyan asked proactively.

"A little," Zhou Xun said, looking at her. "You're not going to cook, are you?"

Bai Mengyan nodded. "I'll make lunch; consider it payment for the tuition."

"Okay." Zhou Xun nodded, not refusing. "Do you need me to help?"

"No need, I can manage on my own," Bai Mengyan said. "You should rest well; you still have to teach this 'clumsy student' this afternoon."

Zhou Xun smiled but didn't say anything.

Bai Mengyan opened the refrigerator and looked at the vegetables and seasonings inside.

Then he took out a bowl with some washed but uneaten strawberries inside.

"Zhou Xun, why is there a bowl in your refrigerator?"

"Why can't there be a bowl?" Zhou Xun asked her in return.

I've heard that rich people don't even have bowls in their refrigerators.

"So what?"

Bai Mengyan thought for a moment and said, "They're all high-end mineral water, fruit slices, and expensive red wine..."

Zhou Xun sneered: "These things seem exquisite and ostentatious, but in reality they are just flashy, wasteful, and pretentious."

"Stop thinking about all that and focus on cooking. I'm starving."

Bai Mengyan chuckled, put the bowl back, and continued searching for ingredients.

There was also some meat in the freezer compartment of the refrigerator.

She recognized all of these meats.

Looking at Bai Mengyan's busy figure and her words just now, Zhou Xun suddenly remembered a scene where she was teased on "Running Man".

"There is still a gap between actors, and it's not just about acting skills."

He muttered something to himself, then continued typing and chatting with Huang Jingyu.

The son said his first movie was about to be released, and he was a little excited.

Zhou Xun immediately retorted: "[Don't get excited.]"

The other person immediately fell silent.

After a long pause, he finally managed to say, "[As my dear eldest son, you absolutely must watch this first film of yours.]"

Zhou Xun gave him the middle finger.

During this time, Bai Mengyan brought out some dishes from the kitchen one after another.

An hour later, Bai Mengyan brought out the last dish and said to Zhou Xun on the sofa:

"Dinner's ready. Wash your hands and come eat."

I don't know if she's obsessed with acting or what.

It feels like only a long-married couple could pull off something like this.

Zhou Xun, as the husband, was handling his work on the sofa, while his wife, as the virtuous wife, was responsible for cooking and calling him to eat.
