Huayu: Starting with Rejecting 00s Actresses on a Dating Show

"That's good. Liking me will only hurt you."

"·····"

"What are you thinking about?" Tan Wen asked, looking at Lu Yu who was lost in thought.

"You wouldn't understand even if I told you." Lu Yuxiao's emotions were constantly affected by Tan Wen, and this feeling was very unpleasant.

"I certainly don't understand, because there's no such thing as true empathy in this world, but you can tell me roughly, and maybe I can help you analyze it."

Lu Yu shook his head, remained silent for a moment, and then said, "Why don't you sing 'If Back Then' again? I want to hear it."

"Sure, I'd love to. Do you have a guitar?"

During his four years of university, the only musical instrument he learned was the guitar. In terms of showing off his skills in public, learning the guitar was the most cost-effective.

A staff member found a guitar from somewhere. Tan Wen took the guitar, tuned the strings, and said to the camera:

"This original song is dedicated to Lu Yuxiao to express my gratitude and appreciation for our encounter."

Tan Wenqing cleared his throat, but instead of saying "what if," he said, "You are beautiful."

My life is colorful and wonderful.

My love is so pure.

Because I have seen an angel.

I have no doubt about this.

She smiled at me on the subway.

Although there was another person with her.

But I won't lose sleep over it.

Because I was already mentally prepared.

You are so beautiful, you are so beautiful.

You are just that beautiful, absolutely.

I caught a glimpse of your face in a crowded place.

This left me at a loss.

Because I can never be with you.

Lu Yuxiao was initially a little surprised to hear that it wasn't "If Back Then," but she quickly became immersed in the song.

Although the lyrics were in English, they posed no challenge for her.

The more she listened, the more moved she became. A mix of inexplicable emotions and pressure welled up in her eyes, and tears welled up in her eyes.

Ah, I guess I'm getting old, and I'm prone to sentimentality.

Tan Wen sang with great passion and emotion. He realized last night that his voice wasn't suited for "If Back Then," and that "You Are Beautiful" would be more appropriate.

Since you're going to show off in front of others, you should definitely sing something that suits you.

After finishing the song, he felt good about himself. Although he didn't have an in-ear monitor, he could tell that he had performed exceptionally well this time.

He took down his guitar. "Thank you everyone. I hope you like this original song. The song is called, um?"

Tan Wen then noticed that the atmosphere at the scene was a bit strange.

The crew members stared at him, their faces filled with emotion. One of the female production assistants looked on with longing, hoping that a boy would confess his feelings to her in the same way.

Tan Wen suddenly noticed that Lu Yu's eyes were red-rimmed, making her look pitiful against her innocent face.

Tan Wen was a little confused. "Did I sing that well?" she wondered. "I was completely moved."

He couldn't help but reach out to wipe away Lu Yuxiao's tears. Lu Yuxiao instinctively wanted to dodge, but out of some stubbornness, she didn't move. Soon, she felt the warmth of Tan Wen's long, slender fingers.

After gently wiping it, Tan Wen immediately withdrew his hand without lingering.

The two remained silent without speaking until Lu Yu broke the silence.

"Do you also wipe away Sister Mi'er's tears?"

"No," Tan Wen said firmly.

Lu Yu felt a little better after hearing this.

"Because I won't make her cry, it would break my heart," Tan Wen said.

······

"Let's go." Lu Yu couldn't stay any longer.

······

"You beast! How can you say such a thing?"

"If you don't like her, why are you flirting with her?"

"I don't understand, I really don't understand, what is Tan Wen doing?"

"If you don't like someone, why sing this kind of love song, and sing it so passionately? Are you sick?"

"Sigh, offering a cup of poison after giving someone a piece of candy, this person is really ruthless."

······

On the way back, Tan Wen hitched a ride with Lu Yuxiao again.

"Aren't you worried that if He Mi'er doesn't like you, your situation here will become very awkward?" Lu Yu asked.

Tan Wen pondered for a moment, then smiled and said, "My entanglement with her won't end with this romance variety show."

"Hiss, an offline manhunt? I'm scared for Sister Mi'er."

Lu Yu shook his head slightly and asked, "Was the song you just sang also something you created yourself?"

"Mm," Tan Wen replied without any hesitation.

"Do you write a lot of songs?"

"Not many, just two songs, and coincidentally, I sang them both for you." After saying that, Tan Wen realized this himself, no wonder the system was so wary of Lu Yu.

"Are they only singing to me?"

"Yes." What Mi'er heard yesterday doesn't count.

Lu Yu's mood softened slightly, and he stopped being cold.

······

He Mier's live stream had already reached the top in popularity, but when Tan Wen sang "You Are Beautiful" with deep emotion, the popularity was reversed.

By this time, someone had already captured a screenshot of him shirtless, with a guitar hanging from his arm, singing to Lu Yu.

The video, titled "Tan Wen's heartfelt confession to Lu Yu at the hot spring is so sweet," was uploaded online immediately.

The dialogue that followed the song was completely cut off.

Chief director Lei Yi looked at the data in the live broadcast room and nodded in satisfaction.

He discovered that Tan Wen had a great talent for creating entertaining content. He didn't need to give him a script; he could always find a way to generate the most buzz and didn't care about his own life or death.

He greatly admired this spirit of self-sacrifice.

However, it must be said that he is very talented. The song he just sang will likely become a minor hit, or even a major hit.

He opened V-Bet and started browsing.

Back in the woods outside the cabin, Tan Wen saw Ao Ruipeng slumped under a tree, looking rather listless.

He got out of the car first. "You just came from a nightclub?"

"It's even worse than a nightclub. I just came back from the hot springs with He Mi'er."

"Damn, what did you do to her?" Tan Wen asked nervously.

"You should ask her what she did to me, damn it, I couldn't hold her down at all. It was being broadcast live, and I could only bend over the whole time. It was so uncomfortable."

Sure enough, Mi'er was just like the persona he had imagined; she must have had quite a few relationships. "How did she woo her?" Tan Wen asked curiously.

"Actually, she didn't flirt much, but with her figure, wearing so little fabric, just sitting there, no one could resist her."

Tsk tsk tsk, Tan Wen was a little disappointed that he didn't make plans with Mi'er today. That kid got lucky.

Ao Ruipeng suddenly looked up and asked, "You had a date with Lu Yu today, right?"

"Um."

"How is it?"

"Not very good."

······

In the afternoon, the production team had no set schedule, and everyone was busy with their own things.

Lu Yu lay on the bed, occasionally patting the bed with his hand.

In what ways am I inferior to Mi'er? Although I don't have her figure, I'm not as good-looking, and I'm not as rich, what else am I lacking?

How could Tan Wen be so irritating?

Forget it, I can't let men affect my mood, it's not worth it.

She picked up her phone and called her best friend.

······

Tan Wen, who was unemployed, covered the camera on the balcony with a towel and started smoking.

Previously at the hot spring, Lu Yuxiao obtained a reward of several thousand from the system by interfering with Lu Yuxiao's behavior.

But thinking of Lu Yu's teary eyes, I couldn't bear it. Oh well, I'll just have to make her suffer a little longer. I can always wipe her tears again.

However, the focus now needs to be entirely on Mi'er. Even if there are no opportunities, we must create them, because building a career is more important than anything else.

He opened his phone, just about to search for information about music copyright, when someone called him via WeChat voice message.

He was a little surprised when he saw who was calling.

Meng Ziyi, his senior from the film academy, is quite famous and has good resources. The two haven't seen each other for almost two years.
