Chapter 698: Hu Lianxin is unwilling to accept the situation
The atmosphere in the private room was a little awkward for a moment.

Hu Lianxin looked at the smiling face in front of her and felt like finding a crack in the ground to crawl into.

"Teacher Nanxun, I don't quite understand what you are saying."

At this time, Hu Lianxin could only speak up.

"Okay, stand up first and we'll talk slowly."

Lin Li smiled and said nothing more. Instead, he helped her to stand and then turned back to sit down.

"Sit down, what are you looking at me for?"

Lin Li looked at Hu Lianxin who was still staring at him blankly, and raised his hand to gesture towards her seat.

"Um... yeah, okay."

Hu Lianxin responded hurriedly, then quickly returned to her seat.

Her body was stiff, and her fingers unconsciously tugged at the edge of her clothes, wrinkling the small piece of fabric.

How can people be so socially dead?
Hu Lianxin screamed wildly in her heart!

She avoided looking at Lin Li, not daring to meet his gaze. Her eyes wandered panickily among the objects around her, sometimes staring at the patterns on the floor, sometimes looking at the heavy snow outside the window, as if there was something there that could save her from this embarrassing situation.

Lin Li did not speak either, but gently swung the wine glass in his hand, looking at Hu Lianxin opposite him with interest.

The chaos of little girls is still very interesting.

This girl has an impulsive and enterprising heart, but unfortunately she lacks the corresponding sophistication. All her actions seem rash and impulsive, which is somewhat similar to Ruth before.

Facing Lin Li's gaze, Hu Lianxin's cheeks flushed, her ears turned red, and her heartbeat was like a drum, beating violently in her chest. The sound was particularly clear to her, and she was afraid that Lin Li could hear it as well.

She forced a smile, but it looked unnatural, like an ornament stuck to her face that could fall off at any time.

In order to hide her inner uneasiness, she cleared her throat, but found that her throat was dry and the sound she made was a little hoarse and incoherent.

"Don't be nervous. I roughly know what you're thinking. I'm a little curious."

"Do you know what you want?"

Lin Li put his hands together to support his chin and said to her with a smile.

"I, I just like you and admire you."

Hu Lianxin didn't dare to look directly at Lin Li's eyes that seemed to see through everything, so she lowered her eyebrows and said submissively.

"you are lying."

Lin Li smiled and directly denied her words.

"I, I didn't, everything I said is true!"

Hu Lianxin raised her head, her eyes widened instantly, and there were two burning flames in her eyes, staring at Lin Li closely.

Her nostrils flared slightly, her breathing became rapid, her lips trembled slightly, sometimes pursed into a stubborn straight line, and sometimes she wanted to open her mouth but was forced to hold it back. Her cheeks bulged slightly due to the effort, and it was clear that she was trying her best to suppress the surging resentment in her heart and was eager to defend herself.

"You don't need to get excited, and don't use your acting skills on me. Don't forget that I'm still a director. Just listen to me."

Lin Li raised his hand and pressed it down, indicating with a calm smile.

Hu Lianxin's face changed and beads of sweat soon appeared on her forehead, flickering under the light, as if revealing her inner panic.

Her lips trembled slightly, and the sophistry she had prepared was stuck in her throat. She forced a smile at the corner of her mouth, but it was uglier than crying.

That smile was full of embarrassment and awkwardness, as if he was fixed in place, his body was slightly stiff, only his fingers were unconsciously twisted together, and he was speechless for a moment.

"You don't show that you like someone like this. Instead of saying you like me, you should be more direct and say you want to get resources from me. I will appreciate your straightforwardness."

Lin Li leaned lazily in his chair. His posture seemed leisurely, but it revealed an indescribable intimidation.

His slender fingers were casually placed on the table, his knuckles were distinct, and his skin was slightly cold white under the light.

Then, the fingers began to tap rhythmically, and the "da da da" sound echoed in the silent space. Each tap seemed to hit Hu Lianxin's heart, causing her heartbeat to unconsciously become disordered with the rhythm.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, with a vague scrutiny in his eyes, and pursed his thin lips. The lines of his face looked even more stern in the shadow under the light. The air pressure around him seemed to drop because of his seemingly unintentional action, and the sense of oppression spread around like a tide.

Hu Lianxin didn't dare to say anything more. She could only tense her body and stare at him without blinking.

Lin Li's words continued.

"As a top film and television school, freshmen at the Central Academy of Drama face competition from seniors at the school and talents from other art schools, such as Beijing Film Academy and Shanghai Theatre Academy. Every year, many graduates enter the film and television industry, so it is difficult to stand out."

"Good film and television roles are scarce, and the leading and supporting roles in big productions are often occupied by well-known actors. Newcomers can only compete for small roles or low-cost productions, and often have to go through multiple rounds of auditions."

"What's more, it's a cold winter for the film and television industry right now, and the Central Academy of Drama's reputation will only add a little color to you."

"And in terms of professional skills, your acting skills are... just so-so."

"But considering that you have just entered the Central Academy of Drama, you still have time to learn and improve."

"Of course, it is not enough to just learn the basics of Chinese opera. It requires long-term practice of acting skills."

"Like Zhang Zhen, who practiced Bajiquan three years in advance for the filming of 'The Grandmaster' in order to achieve a better performance." "Although not everyone has to reach this level, it also shows from the side that it takes effort to play a role well."

"You also need to master auxiliary skills such as vocal music, dance, and martial arts to broaden your acting range, so that you can win more opportunities for yourself."

"In the entertainment industry, if you want to be popular, you have to be brave and work hard."

"Dahong will depend on luck."

"You need to encounter works and roles that suit you. For example, Wang Baoqiang got the role of Sha Gen in "A World Without Thieves" and then he began to attract widespread attention. This kind of opportunity is difficult to predict and grasp."

"And obviously, you don't want to choose any of the methods I mentioned above. You want to take a shorter route."

"It's the right choice, but you obviously haven't thought it through completely."

"I want both and more."

"Xiao Hu, this won't work."

Lin Li raised his chin slightly, his eyes showing a deep and calm insight, as if all disguises and secrets were exposed in front of him.

The voice was not loud but steady and powerful, and every word was filled with unquestionable certainty.

He spoke at a steady pace, and his logic was as clear as the meshing of precision gears, expounding his views in an orderly manner.

When it comes to the key point, there will be a slight pause. That brief silence is not hesitation, but it seems to give Hu Lianxin a moment to digest the matter, or it is a silent announcement that he is about to make more important remarks.

There was no trace of arrogance in his eyes, but there was a sharpness that could see through the soul. Whenever Hu Lianxin occasionally looked up and looked at him, she could not help but feel that she was being scrutinized and analyzed, as if he had known her inner thoughts in advance. She could only listen to his words obediently, unable to refute.

The private room fell into silence again.

Suddenly, Lin Li pulled out a chair, stood up and walked towards Hu Lianxin.

The sound of him pulling open the chair scared Hu Lianxin so much that her body trembled violently.

Lin Li walked leisurely, approaching Hu Lianxin step by step in the suffocating silence.

Every step she took, seemingly light and fluttering, seemed to strike at Hu Lianxin's tense heartstrings.

Until he stood in front of Hu Lianxin, Lin Li leaned over slightly, and his bony fingers lifted her chin with irresistible force.

The moment Hu Lianxin's skin touched his fingertips, it seemed as if an electric current passed through her whole body, and her body trembled slightly subconsciously.

Lin Li had a faint smile in his eyes as he examined her face from top to bottom.

Hu Lianxin's eyes were filled with fear and anxiety, but she did not dare to struggle at all and could only look at Lin Li timidly.

Her heart was beating like thunder, and she felt that the air around her seemed to have frozen. Only Lin Li's deep and cold breathing was clearly audible in the silence.

"Nan, Nanxun teacher~"

Hu Lianxin's voice was trembling as she spoke timidly.

"Student Xiao Hu, you need to think it through."

"What exactly do you want? What price are you willing to pay for it? Come back to me when you have made up your mind."

"You are very beautiful, so don't think too much about beauty."

"If you want to gain something, you must give up something first."

"Understand?"

Lin Li's fingertips gently stroked Hu Lianxin's cheek, with a smile on his face and his voice was soft and slow.

"Hmm~"

Hu Lianxin looked at his gentle smiling face and nodded blankly.

"very good."

"Looking forward to our next meeting."
