Meeting Zhong Li Again
Huo Tian: "I'm so tired. It would be strange if I were happy!"
"Oh, then I'm very happy."
A misty drizzle fell from the sky. With the camera hanging around her neck, Song Yaoyao set up a tent with both hands and pressed it against her forehead to block the rain as she looked into the distance.
The mountains were shrouded in smoke, and the air was filled with the faint smell of grass. The green plants were wet by the rain, making them look even more verdant.
Tang Xinrou took a deep breath and opened her hands.
No matter how much Huo Tian complained in her heart, she was also affected by this beautiful scene that was like an ink painting. The slightly cold raindrops fell on her face, and the misty sky above her head gave her a different kind of beauty.
"Hmm? Tang? And Miss Song, is that you? "
The quiet atmosphere was broken. Song Yaoyao's hair was already wet. She turned her head and saw three familiar faces.
Huo Tian rolled her eyes and stood behind Song Yaoyao. She couldn't even be bothered to say a word.
"What a coincidence." Tang Xinrou was surprised. "How did you guys …" It wasn't that she had a conspiracy theory, but the place where Song Yaoyao came from was too remote. It wasn't a particularly popular scenic spot.
It was just the three of them along the way.
Moreover, she didn't expect that Lily, Zhong Lixue, and Zhong Li would actually choose to come out to play together.
When they came, there were three of them, but when they went down the mountain, it became six of them.
There was a farmhouse at the foot of the mountain. Its back was against the mountains, and the green bricks and tiles almost merged with the mountains. They stepped on the asphalt-colored stone bricks and walked under the eaves. The lady boss heaved a sigh of relief when she saw them. "Oh, you guys came back together? That's good, that's good. I saw that the rain was getting heavier and heavier. I was just about to ask my husband to send you umbrellas! "
She learned from the lady boss that Zhong Li and the others had just arrived today. Other than them, there were also some unfamiliar faces.
Zhong Li and Zhong Lixue's expressions were very indifferent. Zhong Lixue was still as cold and untainted as ever. She only nodded slightly as a greeting.
The most enthusiastic one was Lily. In fact, her facial features were more Asian. If one didn't look carefully, one wouldn't be able to see the faint blue halo in her eyes.
"Tang! Yaoyao, do you know Ah Xue? "
Compared to the last time, her Mandarin was much smoother.
"She participated in a talent show before, and Yaoyao was a special guest mentor for two episodes."
"Ah! I see. "Lily's eyes lit up." Yaoyao is amazing! "
Others were participating in competitions at this age, but she was already a teacher.
Song Yaoyao's voice was gentle. Most of the time, it was Tang Xinrou who was talking. She laughed at the side or looked at the photos she took on the camera.
The selection team for "Man Chaser" had gone to another city. When Song Yaoyao saw the photos online, she decided to part ways with them and come here.
Outside, the rain pitter-pattered. The wind gently blew the wind chimes under the eaves, making a crisp sound.
When Lily heard from Tang Xinrou that Song Yaoyao was preparing for a new movie, she became even more enthusiastic. "Yaoyao, is there a suitable role for me in your movie? I can do it for free! "
She was too enthusiastic. Even Tang Xinrou looked at her a few more times.
Lily also realized it. She smiled embarrassedly. "Actually, I'm Yaoyao's fan. I like the culture here more than the Western culture."
"But you already have a fan base over there. Don't you think it's a pity to give it up?"
"No, they're actually very xenophobic." Lily leaned on the table and said sullenly, "They don't like my Asian appearance. What they like is the role itself. It's the character design that's likable. I believe that no matter who plays it, they'll like it. "
"Well …" Tang Xinrou looked at Song Yaoyao and saw that she was focused on fiddling with her camera. She looked like she had nothing to do with it. She had no choice but to comfort her. "No, there's a reason why you could stand out among so many competitors and get this role. If someone likes you, it means that you still have a market in the West. "
"You're thinking too much." Lily said, "That's because my boss appointed me to play this role. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to beat those blonde, blue-eyed, and hot girls." She shrugged and explained.
Tang Xinrou was silent for a moment. She did not expect Lily to say that she got in through the back door so openly.
"I forgot to introduce you. This is my boss, Mr. Zhong Li."
Lily cupped her face with both hands and said gratefully, "Mr. Zhong Li, you chose me because of my Asian ancestry."
Zhong Li chuckled. "It's because you're suitable. I'm a businessman. I never do business that loses money."
This sentence successfully pleased Lily. She rushed over enthusiastically and gave Zhong Li a big hug.
"You're my benefactor, Mr. Zhong Li! If you're willing, oh, I mean, if you're willing, I can even repay you with my body — "
She winked at him.
"Splash …"
The cup suddenly toppled over, and the hot tea flowed on the table.
"What are you doing?!"
Huo Tian suddenly pulled Song Yaoyao up and dodged. She looked at the hot water dripping down the edge of the table. "You can't even hold a cup properly. Is there something wrong with your hands?"
A hint of embarrassment flashed across Zhong Lixue's eyes. "I didn't do it on purpose."
"Oh, if you say you didn't do it on purpose, then you didn't. If you scalded someone, can you afford to pay for it?" Huo Tian was really afraid. The scene of Song Yaoyao being scalded last time was still vivid in her mind. This time, it happened again. If she hadn't dodged in time, the hot water would have definitely dripped down the edge of the table onto Song Yaoyao's leg.
Regardless of whether Zhong Lixue could afford to pay for it or not, she couldn't.
If her uncle found out, he would crush her to death.
The atmosphere instantly froze.
In the eyes of outsiders, Huo Tian's attitude was a little unforgiving.
Zhong Lixue stood up abruptly and turned to leave. "I'm tired. I'll go back and rest first."
"Stop right there!" Huo Tian was furious.
Not only did this woman want to be a mistress, but she also wanted to murder her aunt. Unforgivable!
"Ah Xue."
Zhong Lixue lowered his eyes indifferently. His eyelids were extremely long, hiding the dark and obscure expression in his eyes. "Apologize."
Zhong Lixue's body suddenly stopped, as if she was nailed to the ground. After a long while, the hands by her side slowly clenched into fists. After a few seconds of silence, she apologized softly, "I'm sorry."
After saying that, she left the tearoom without looking back. This time, Zhong Lixue didn't stop her.
For some reason, when Zhong Lixue heard Zhong Lixue's words, the aura on her body seemed to have suddenly withered. She was in low spirits and looked very pitiful.
Huo Tian pursed her lips. "Fortunately, she didn't burn anyone. Otherwise, I wouldn't have let her off."
"Alright."
Song Yaoyao patted her head. "Go and play."
"Then …" Huo Tian's eyes rolled around. When her gaze landed on Zhong Lixue and Lily, her originally happy expression was suppressed again. She sat down again. "It's raining. What's so fun about it?"
"Well, isn't it fine to play games?" Tang Xinrou winked at Song Yaoyao with interest.
