Huayu: Enjoy Yourself

Chapter 82 The Moonlight Scattered Through the Window

This was the first time Chen An had wandered around this foreign land after nightfall. 🐟🐯 69sh𝓊𝐗.c𝔬м ♠🐨

The nights near Venice Beach are sparkling with stars, and there are countless street restaurants nearby.

The lights shone, illuminating the darkness.

Chen An and Naomi sat in an Italian seafood restaurant, where a variety of seafood medleys were served together.

Adding pasta to it also creates a unique flavor.

Of course, it's not recommended for business owners who have gout.

Otherwise, they would have to walk out on their knees.

"Chen, what other movies have you acted in? I'd like to go check them out sometime," Naomi asked Chen An, who was sitting across from her, while they were having dinner.

She was actually quite curious about how someone so young could become a director in Hollywood.

Bathed in warm yellow light, Chen An looked at Naomi, who had taken off her trench coat and shawl, and who had a curious expression on her face, and couldn't help but laugh and say, "I remember it was shown in Europe. I wonder if you've seen it."

"Really? What's your name?"

"Run Lola Run".

Chen An didn't hide anything and revealed the name of the film, which still had a considerable audience there.

Upon hearing Chen An mention the movie's title, Naomi's eyes widened in disbelief: "Oh, that's your movie?!"

She had certainly seen this movie and knew it was the film that won Best Director at Cannes. She only knew that the director was very young and a Chinese man, but she never expected that it would be Chen An, who was standing in front of her.

"That's strange. Otherwise, no one would have asked me to come to Hollywood to make a movie." Chen An rested his chin on his hand.

This feels so good!

Naomi laughed and explained, "I just think it's incredible. I think my movie will be a success, preferably like yours."

"Then let's start looking forward to it; I hope so too."

After finishing their meal, Chen An led Naomi toward the taxi stand.

After hailing a taxi, Chen An simply gave them the name of the hotel and then set off.

It was almost midnight when they arrived. After paying the fare and getting out of the car, Chen An turned to Naomi inside and invited, "Would you like to come up and sit for a bit?"

"I think I'm willing." Naomi, inside the car, grabbed Chen An's outstretched hand and stepped out of the car.

Even at night, cars continued to come and go in front of the hotel. Chen An held Naomi's hand as they walked upstairs.

Upon entering the elevator, only the two of them remained, and Naomi's hand unconsciously wrapped around Chen An's arm.

They didn't let go until the elevator reached their floor.

They opened the door with the key and went inside. The room was a bit messy; Chen An hadn't had anyone clean it yet.

Wine glasses were scattered throughout the room.

"Want a drink?" Chen An pointed to the wine on the counter. This was a gift from Jerry; the previous ones had already been finished.

Naomi placed her bag on the sofa and pointed to the table in front of the glass window: "This is fine."

"Alright, please have a seat." After saying that, Chen An put down the contract documents and hung up his clothes, then picked up two cups to wash them.

When he came out, Naomi had already hung up her trench coat and shawl and sat down at the table.

Chen An poured the ice and wine, then carried the two glasses over and placed one in front of her.

He then sat down on the other side of the round table, picked up the remaining wine, and took a sip.

"Are you happy today?" Chen An asked, turning to look at Naomi from his seat.

The other person took a small sip of their drink. "It was a good experience. I used to go there alone, but this time with you by my side, it felt pretty good."

"Then I think I can go a few more times."

"Then it's settled. Let's go to the beach together next time, and I'll show you my swimsuit."

"Now that you've said that, I'm starting to look forward to it."

Chen An took a big gulp of wine and swallowed it along with his saliva.

Turning around, I found that Naomi had already leaned over the table and was close to me, with less than ten centimeters between us, almost nose to nose.

"Shall I show you something else now?" she said softly.

Chen An could feel the hot breath exhaled from the other person's mouth, which carried a hint of alcohol.

Unable to resist, they moved closer and pressed themselves together. The moonlight from outside shone through the glass, and their shadows on the ground intertwined.

Chen An used his traditional skills to physically assault his opponent, who offered no resistance.

Then, pressing their advantage, they drew the curtains, even though they were on the fifteenth floor.

There are quite a few buildings taller than this.

Traditional kung fu, it's all about stopping short of a full strike!

After all, the other party doesn't know if they'll be going to work tomorrow, but the opponent disagrees and continues to request a one-on-one duel.

Not wanting the foreigners to get too arrogant, Chen An decided to fight to the end. When he encountered an opponent, Master Chen decided to cut off the opponent's bottom lane, and the effect was remarkable.

And he arrogantly declared, "I can spend the whole night with you!"

Fortunately, Chen An had possessed extraordinary skills since childhood, and he won his first battle.

When Naomi woke up the next day, she was still asleep, resting after relieving her fatigue.

As Chen An got up and dressed, he looked at the other person and couldn't help but think, "These mere foreigners are nothing compared to the profound and extensive Chinese martial arts."

After washing up and tidying myself up, I went downstairs to buy lunch.

There weren't any particularly interesting restaurants nearby, so Chen An bought some fast food and pizza and went upstairs.

When Chen An returned, Naomi was still asleep, but he still went to her bedside.

Gently shaking Naomi, who was still asleep, she rubbed her eyes and groggily asked, "What's wrong, Chen?"

Chen An waved what he was holding in front of her. "The sun's already high in the sky, time to get up and eat."

Upon hearing the news, Naomi sat up abruptly, causing the blankets to slip off, but they were quickly covered again.

"Alright, get up quickly, wash up and eat first," Chen An said casually.

Then he placed the food on the table and waited for Naomi to get up.

After the other person got up and dressed, Chen An almost thought he didn't need to get up at all.

However, before hesitating, the other person had finished washing up and sat down at the table. Looking at the food that hadn't been touched yet, they asked curiously:

"We've been waiting so long, Chen, why don't you eat first?"

"It's a custom in our country; we prefer to eat together if there are other people around."

"That's great."

After Naomi finished speaking, Chen An also opened the food packaging bag, took out the food, and the two began to eat together.

"Do you still have to go to work later?" Chen An asked while eating a hamburger.

Naomi, who was also eating, shook her head: "I'm already late today, so there's no need to go. Besides, with this paycheck, I don't need to work for the time being."

"Then I'll take you home right away. I still need to go to Jerry's place. Do you have time tomorrow?"

"If it's you, Chen, who's looking for me, then I have plenty of time."

"Perfect timing, I have quite a few myself for now."

After finishing their meal, Chen An took a taxi to send Naomi home, and then found Jerry and returned the contract to him.

"How did it go, Chen? Was it successful?" Jerry's first question after receiving the contract was about the situation.

Chen An stood tall and proud: "Who do you think I am? Thanks, let me know when the crew is ready."

"I'm sorry, Chen, you don't have that much time. The crew is almost ready. Your task this time is very important, much more important than that of a regular director." Jerry informed Chen An of the crew's information.

It will be ready soon, and Chen An has much more room for maneuver in filming than most directors.

It's pretty much the same shooting method as before, without adopting the traditional Hollywood system and procedures.

This is why the production team was able to assemble so quickly; otherwise, it would have been difficult to start filming this year.

"Okay, I'm used to it. Don't forget that I planned all my previous movies myself. Just let me know when the time comes." Chen An nodded, indicating that there was no problem.

This way, I can be more unrestrained and get used to it.

He then turned and left, took a taxi back to the hotel, and went into the bathroom to take a hot shower.

I filled the bathtub with water, washed myself clean, and then lay down in it. This is a habit I've developed over the rest of my life; I also like to soak in the large bathtub in the courtyard house.

Lying in it is really comfortable; it allows you to completely clear your mind.
