Chinese Entertainment 2017: Starting from the Top Writers

Chapter 292: All Drunk, Discovered
"Well... well, I'm just a pillar. You'll know when you watch the show."

"She is definitely a much better dancer than me. As for her figure, I was too nervous to pay attention to it since it was my first time learning dance."

Lin Li cleared his throat and spoke righteously.

"Director Lin is so focused, not only on filming, but also on dancing. I admire you so much. Come, let me toast you!"

After receiving Lin Li's eye signal, Eddie Peng raised his glass and started to act as the supporting actor.

"Peng Peng is right. Director Lin, I respect you too!"

Hou Minghao also raised his wine glass with a look of admiration on his face.

Lin Li clinked glasses with the two of them with satisfaction, then raised his head and drank it all in one gulp.

With such a talented person like you, why worry about not achieving great things?
Zhou Ye and Zhang Jingyi curled their lips at the same time, naturally not taking Lin Li's explanation seriously.

Nervous? When have you ever been nervous?

Zhou Ye thought that he had looked up Cheng Xiao after watching the video, and even looked up many videos of her stage performances.

Thinking of the heavy object flying up and down in front of Cheng Xiao while he was dancing, Zhou Ye looked down subconsciously, then raised his head with a dejected look and pouted unhappily.

How can it be so big?
We are all about the same age, damn it!
Zhang Jingyi also recalled the videos she had watched, and thought of the nicknames many netizens gave to Cheng Xiao. She lowered her head and glanced like Zhou Ye, then quickly straightened up.

What am I doing!
She felt her cheeks getting hot, and immediately raised the wine glass in front of her to signal Zhou Ye.

"Senior Zhou Ye, I toast to you."

Zhou Ye raised his glass and clinked it with hers without showing any weakness: "Come on!"

Lin Li watched the two girls gulp down a glass of beer and just wanted to shout, "Lady hero, you have a great alcohol tolerance!"

"You two should be careful not to drink too much."

Lin Li gave another warning with concern.

"Know it."

"Ah."

Everyone who agreed was quite ready.

Seeing that he couldn't persuade the two, Lin Li stopped talking and continued chatting with Peng Peng and others about the interesting things that happened during their filming.

Just like this, half an hour or so passed, and Lin Li, who was in the middle of a lively conversation, suddenly realized something was wrong. The two girls' eyes had begun to blur, their faces were flushed, and their mouths were slightly open.

But even in this state, the two were still pouring wine into the glasses, ready to continue drinking.

Lin Li raised his wrist to check the time. It was already around nine o'clock. They had arrived at the place at seven o'clock, so it had been two hours.

"Both of you, shut up and stop drinking."

Lin Li looked at the two of them with a serious expression.

"Oh"

Zhou Ye responded obediently, supporting himself on the table with his arms and holding his little face with great effort. His usually lively eyes had become a little confused at this moment.

"Okay!"

Zhang Jingyi seemed to be in better condition than Zhou Ye, and responded crisply.

But Lin Li found that something was wrong with her. It seemed that... she looked more lively than usual?
Her face was a little cherry red, and her ears had turned red from the ear bones to the earlobes and the sides of her neck.

As if it had been permed or dyed, the shy little face became even more rosy and lovely.

"Let's stop here for today. These two girls are a bit much."

Lin Li stood up, looked around at everyone, and started making arrangements.

In fact, everyone had already eaten their fill, and the rest of the time was mainly spent chatting.

Of course, everyone had no objection and nodded in agreement.

"Pom Peng, did you bring an assistant with you?"

Lin Li looked at Peng Yuchang and asked.

"I really don't have that. I didn't expect Jingyi to drink too much."

Eddie Peng looked at Zhang Jingyi, who was obviously drunk, and felt a little amused.

"Then I'll take you back together."

"Ah! Don't be so polite, Director Lin. I can just call a taxi."

"I'm worried about Jingyi, do you think it's you?"

"Oh, okay."

"Hahahaha!"

A cheerful laugh suddenly rang out in the house.

However, everyone present was secretly thinking that Director Lin's feelings towards Zhang Jingyi were really special.

"Yifan, take Yezi back."

Lin Li looked at Zhang Yifan who had been drinking juice and spoke out instructions.

Because she was relatively young, she was the only person in the audience who did not drink alcohol today.

"Okay, okay, leave it to me."

Zhang Yifan nodded like a chick pecking at rice, walked forward and helped Zhou Ye, who was shaking his head, up.

"Jingyi, can you walk by yourself?"

Lin Li lowered his eyes and looked at Zhang Jingyi on his left.

"OK."

Zhang Jingyi nodded obediently, supported herself on the table and stood up, looking relatively stable.

"Well, get dressed, it's cold outside."

Lin Li gave another instruction.

"Oh."

Zhang Jingyi responded softly, put on the coat on the back of the chair, adjusted the brim of her hat, then raised her face and grinned at Lin Li.

"Okay."

"Well, that's great."

Lin Li looked at Zhang Jingyi, who was begging for praise, and praised her like coaxing a child.

Zhang Jingyi's mouth opened wider, revealing her white teeth. She stared straight at Lin Li, her dark pupils reflecting his figure, as if she wanted to engrave him in her eyes.

What a pair of eyes that can speak!

"Let's go."

Lin Li turned around and looked at everyone, then put on his mask and gestured to Zhang Jingyi.

"oh oh"

Zhang Jingyi quickly took out a mask from her pocket and put it on. Lin Li smiled at her, then turned around and glanced at Zhou Ye who was supported by Zhang Yifan, then took the lead and walked out, followed by everyone.

It was a little after nine o'clock in the evening, and the whole store was still full. It was obvious that the business of this store was really good.

When Lin Li and his group walked down from the private room upstairs, they immediately attracted a lot of attention, mainly because Lin Li's outstanding height was too eye-catching.

Although masks can provide some shielding effect, Lin Li forgot to wear a hat and just wore a mask, which had almost no effect given his outstanding appearance.

As soon as he showed up, he was recognized by many people.

“Nanda!”

“It’s Nanda!”

"Hahaha, I realized it might be him when I was queuing up in front of me, but I didn't dare to confirm it. I waited for so long, and it turned out to be him!"

"I said that it was impossible for Nanda to stay on the set every day while filming in the mountain city. Finally, I caught him for once!"

"Nanda, Nanda, please sign your name!"

……

In a blink of an eye, Lin Li and others were overwhelmed by a group of customers in the store, and they were surrounded in three layers inside and outside, making it impossible to get out.

The customers who were queuing outside the store were scratching their heads at the noise inside the store. What was going on? Why did everyone stop eating and crowd together?
When they learned that Lin Li and the youth crew were having a dinner together inside, the guests outside stopped queuing and instantly joined the crowd.

This store is located near Hongyadong, and there are many pedestrians and tourists around. After hearing about the commotion here, a large number of people began to gather here.

Lin Li was also a little dumbfounded at this moment. Apart from the last time at the airport, this was the first time he was surrounded by people outside.

Besides him, Eddie Peng, Hou Minghao and others were also recognized and were now signing autographs for people while expressing their gratitude.

Seeing more and more people gathering, Lin Li knew he couldn't delay any longer, so he raised his hands to signal.

"Everybody listen to me, listen to me."

His voice was so loud that the customers in the store gradually quieted down.

"That's it everyone. Thank you for your love for me and our youth crew. I am extremely grateful."

"But we can't disturb other guests' meals, right? Everyone knows how crowded Hongyadong is. It would be bad if we stay any longer and cause congestion."

"How about we go out first? Or if you have any requests, please let me know. I will try my best to meet them."

Lin Li spoke to everyone in a sincere tone, and the crowd was no longer so excited.

“Nanjing University should open a TikTok account! Share more of the crew’s daily life with us!”

“Yes, Nanda, many celebrities have Tik Tok accounts, why don’t you open one too!”

"Second the motion!"

“And the first video must be of yourself!”

"Yeah!"

The young men and women at the scene were talking to each other, becoming more and more excited.

"Okay, I promise everyone, no problem."

"Then how about this? Please leave a passage for me so that we can leave first."

Lin Li agreed immediately and put his hands together to plead with everyone.

"No problem, Nan Da please!"

"Don't forget what you promised us!"

"If you can't do it, we'll go to the crew and harass them every day!"

"That's it!"

The crowd of men and women watching started to joke around, and at the same time they spontaneously made way for Lin Li and the others to get out.

"Thank you, everyone!"

Lin Li put his hands together and led the way out, nodding to the crowd.

"Ahhh! Nanda!"

“Living Nanda!”

"Nanda, I love you!"

"Hou Minghao!"

"Pumbaa, walk carefully!"

……

After walking out of the store, there was also a huge crowd outside, but the fans inside the store were very supportive and protected Lin Li and his group out. At the same time, they kept telling the crowd what Lin Li had just agreed to. In this way, Lin Li and his group moved forward at a snail's pace until they reached the parking space, and then they breathed a sigh of relief.

Lin Li turned around and bowed slightly to the crowd that followed him, while taking off his mask, triggering another round of cheers.

"Thank you all for your kindness. I have no way to repay you. I can only work hard to make better works to repay you."

"I will finish what I promised you tomorrow. I will register the account and then send you a status update."

"Thank you for your support, goodbye."

Lin stood in the night wind of the mountain city, looking around at the endless crowd. He was wearing a black coat and had an upright figure and a clear voice.

Under the light of the street lamp, like a slow motion shot in a movie, the short hair was blown messy by the wind, and underneath were angular facial features, deep eyes, and a slender neck.

This scene made many people's eyes light up. They raised their mobile phones and took pictures of Lin Li at this moment.

"Goodbye, Nanda!"

“Nanjing University is looking forward to your video!”

“Bye-bye Nanda!”

……

Amidst the farewells, Lin Li got into the car. However, after closing the door and seeing the people in the car clearly, he was stunned.

Zhou Ye and Zhang Jingyi were both sitting in the back row, staring at him with the same sparkling eyes.

"Well, Director Lin, Ye Zi said she wants to send us off together."

Eddie Peng leaned back from the front passenger seat and explained with an awkward smile.

"Hey, are you sober?"

Lin Li's expression froze and he looked at Zhou Ye who was sitting in the middle.

"After walking all the way here, she's almost awake now. I'm worried about Jingyi. After all, she's my junior schoolmate, so I'll go with you to see her off."

The blush on Zhou Ye's face had not yet completely faded, and he spoke seriously.

"Yezi, you are such a good senior!"

Lin Li's mouth twitched as he praised quietly.

It’s really you, Zhou Ye Ye!
