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

"Why are you crying?" Tan Wen wiped away her tears. "Are you upset?"

Lu Yu tucked his head aside: "I had a bad dream. Let's get in the car."

Tan Wen took out a bunch of peonies from behind his back. "Thank you for your hard work."

Lu Yu took the flowers with a pleasant surprise, held them in front of her and smelled them, then, as if remembering something, pushed them to Tan Wen: "Your date didn't want them, did she?"

"This is the first time in my life I've given flowers to a girl. If you don't want them, that's fine." Tan Wen reached out to take them.

Lu Yuxiao immediately withdrew her hand, "Thanks... you're very thoughtful."

Tan Wen rubbed her head. "You've been waiting for a long time, haven't you?"

Lu Yuxiao didn't move aside this time. "No, if you're asleep, it doesn't count as waiting. Oh, where's your date?"

Tan Wen laughed and said, "I sent it back a long time ago. I saw you weren't here, so I guessed you were making the Waiting-for-Husband Stone and came over as soon as possible."

On the way back, Lu Yu drove while muttering some inexplicable things:

Hello, hello, what are you doing? What are you doing? Answer the phone, answer the phone! *bulingbuling* It's me, what are you doing...?

Looking at her abstract behavior, Tan Wen thought it would be very interesting to take this girl home and raise her.

Huh? No, Tan Wen suddenly sat up abruptly.

Lu Yu asked with slight confusion, "Did you fall off the bed?"

Tan Wen stared at Lu Yuxiao.

"What's wrong with you?" Lu Yuxiao was frightened by the stare.

Could this girl be my future wife? No, probably not. This girl isn't the type to transfer assets like that.

Besides, her family wasn't short of money. Tan Wen leaned back in his chair, feeling relieved. He then gently patted Lu Yu's head, saying, "It's alright!"

······

Back at the cabin, everyone was sitting together. Liu Haochun had already integrated into this big family and was chatting happily with everyone.

The boys were very interested in Liu Haochun and kept asking her all sorts of questions, which Liu Haochun answered very appropriately.

When the boys saw Tan Wen, they deliberately put on a complaining expression: "The time management master is back."

Tan Wen touched his nose, unbothered by the teasing, and asked, "Where's Mi'er?"

The crowd groaned in dissatisfaction, "You're busy enough, dating two girls in one night isn't enough, you have to go and mess with a third one, I admire you."

"I need to see her about something," Tan Wen said with a smile.

"She should be working in her room," Liu Haochun said, coming to his rescue. At the same time, she casually waved to Lu Yu, "We're the only two left who haven't met yet."

Lu Yuxiao ran over briskly and sat down next to Liu Haochun.

Tan Wen returned to the balcony of his room and called Lao Zhou back.

On my way back, Lao Zhou called me and said that Yuewen Video is preparing a program about acting, and since he happens to be free of acting roles, he could give it a try.

Tan Wen arranged to meet him at the cabin for a detailed discussion.

"Hey, tell me more details!"

Old Zhou said excitedly, "I've figured it out. It's a director casting reality show called something like 'Actors Take Their Places Again,' and I heard Chen Kaige is in it."

Sure, inviting Chen Kaige shows that this show is no joke. Participating in this show can better highlight one's core abilities, which is much more efficient than participating in a dating reality show.

Tan Wen immediately became interested: "When can I register? What are the registration requirements?"

The excitement in Lao Zhou's voice suddenly dissipated:

"You can register now, but there's a problem: the requirements for guests are quite high. You need to have a portfolio, so I guess even if you register, you'll most likely not be accepted."

And even if you pass, you'll just be cannon fodder, because I've seen many actors who have been famous for over a decade sign up. What do you have to compete with them with?

Tan Wen wasn't worried about the acting skills issue at all, since he could rely on He Mi'er anyway. "It's okay, just help me register first. You have all my information, so just let me know if you need anything else."

Old Zhou hesitated for a moment, then said, "Alright, I'll try my best to help you get it approved. As for what happens after that, it's up to you."

"Okay, I'll let you play for two days after I win the Best Actor award."

"roll······"

After hanging up the phone, he knew he needed to speed up his efforts to get more of He Mi'er's attention, as she wasn't the type to bother others.

"What? Starting your career now?" He Mi'er appeared on his balcony at some point, wearing a cool sundress, her smooth shoulders glistening in the moonlight.

Tan Wen lit a cigarette. "After witnessing your power last time, I feel a lot of pressure."

"Oh, so someone's feeling inferior, thinking they're not good enough for me. But let me tell you, even if you become a movie star one day, you'll still be far from getting past my mother's approval."

Tan Wen said nonchalantly, "I'm confident I can make your mother happy."

He Mi'er: "That's unlikely. My mom is much harder to coax than me."

Tan Wen: "Why?"

He Mier: "Because she's already been fooled by a man once, she won't fall for it again."

Tan Wen: "..."

He Mi'er smiled slightly and changed the subject: "As far as I know, two new male guests will be coming in a couple of days, and maybe I'll take a liking to them."

Tan Wen raised an eyebrow in thought. It seemed that the other male guest who would firmly choose He Mier was the newcomer. He wondered how he would compare to William.

"What's wrong? Are you nervous?" He Mi'er teased.

"Why don't we leave the cabin together and elope?" Tan Wen deliberately put away his smile.

"No way! I haven't had enough fun yet, and besides, what will happen to your little Lu if you come with me?"

"It's alright, she'll agree to be the mistress, and no one can touch your position as the main wife."

He Mi'er couldn't help but roll her eyes, but she noticed something different in his words and said, "This is the first time you haven't directly said that you don't like her."

"Um, is that so?" Tan Wen couldn't remember if he had said it or not. "That's not important. There's something I need to discuss with you."

"Oh, you say it."

I want you.

"?"

"I need you to need me."

"What do you mean? I don't understand."

"You can make requests of me anytime, anywhere. As long as it doesn't violate the core socialist values, I'm happy to lend a helping hand."

"How about borrowing money?"

"That won't do!"

"Alright, my current request is that you're not allowed to like other girls. Can you do that?"

"No problem," Tan Wen replied without hesitation.

Three seconds, seven seconds, ten seconds...

Huh, why didn't the system give me a reward?

He Mier looked at him in surprise, feeling that he wasn't joking.

"Never mind, I was just kidding. How could I restrict your freedom to date?"

"Try not to joke around next time." No wonder there was no reward; she didn't really ask for it.

"Fine, then give me a cigarette. I want to experience it."

"My breath smells of smoke. Why don't you try a different method?"

······

At 10:30 p.m., Tan Wen started sending text messages to He Mier, as usual: Remember to make requests of me from time to time, and make it a habit.

A dozen minutes later, all the male guests sat together to receive text messages.

buzz~

Tan Wen opened the text message: I really like peonies, but is this really the first time you've sent flowers?

It was sent by Lu Yuxiao.

buzz~

Tan Wen opened his phone again: My shoulders are a bit stiff, could you massage them for me tomorrow?

It should have been posted by He Mier.

buzz~

Tan Wen opened his phone again: Looking forward to learning more about you.

It was posted by Liu Haochun, as expected.

buzz~

Tan Wen didn't put down his phone; he immediately opened the text message: "I want to hear you sing again."

I don't know who posted it.

Tan Wen looked up and saw the resentful looks in everyone's eyes, indicating that he was also helpless...

Finally, the last text message was received by Ao Ruipeng.

The segment featuring heart-fluttering messages will not be broadcast live, leaving a cliffhanger for a later edited version.

Tan Wen nodded to the group of people who were a bit upset and went back to their room.

At this moment, there were three people in Lu Yuxiao's room: He Mier and Liu Haochun.

Liu Haochun blinked her bright eyes: "Actually, I'm a little curious, are you both interested in Tan Wen?"

"I..." Lu Yuxiao didn't know what to say.

"Don't worry, I won't argue with you," He Mi'er said casually.

"Ah, I didn't say I was going to argue," Lu Yuxiao hurriedly retorted.

Liu Haochun leaned his head between the two of them: "Since neither of you wants it, then give it to me."
