Chinese Entertainment 2017: Starting from the Top Writers

Chapter 759: Unexpected Reaction, Selfishness
At eight o'clock in the evening, there were few pedestrians in the alley, and only the bright moonlight poured down on the stone road, gently covering this long and narrow space with a layer of dreamy silver gauze.

Chen Duling and Lin Li stood opposite each other, surrounded by ancient brick walls eroded by time. The faint sound of vehicles passing occasionally in the distance further highlighted the tranquility of the place.

Chen Duling was tall and slender, standing gracefully in front of Lin Li.

Her figure seemed particularly lonely in the moonlight, as if she had merged into the quiet night.

His eyes seemed to be looking straight ahead, yet they seemed to penetrate the forest of people standing opposite him. There was no expression on his face, and the pair of eyes revealed above the mask were cold and indifferent.

Lin Li, on the other hand, had a serious look on his face, his eyes fixed on her face, trying his best to decipher some clues from the subtle changes in her eyes.

He frowned slightly and his hands unconsciously clenched into hard fists.

The surrounding environment was so quiet that they could almost hear each other's heartbeats clearly. Under the moonlight, their figures were stretched very long.

They just stared at each other silently, without saying a word, and the air around them seemed to be filled with an indescribable heaviness.

Every passing second seemed to be infinitely stretched and passed extremely slowly.

The distance between them was only one step away, yet it seemed as far away as the entire universe and difficult to cross.

The moonlight shines through the shifting clouds, sometimes bright and sometimes dim, making the scene of the confrontation between the two people look like a movie.

The breeze blew gently, bringing a chill and causing the corners of their clothes to sway slightly, but it still failed to break the silence.

In this seemingly frozen space, even breathing seems unnecessary.

They each had their own thoughts, and facing each other, they seemed to be alone in the boundless night, letting their complicated thoughts drift freely, avoiding certain unavoidable facts.

After living a new life and going through so many things, Lin Li always felt that everything was under his control. Even when "We Are So Cute" was launched, he had never been as nervous as he is now.

Facing Chen Duling, who showed no emotion, he couldn't maintain his usual calmness at all.

He suddenly had an inexplicable feeling, as if he was waiting for the final verdict.

Just when the atmosphere was so heavy that it was almost suffocating the two of them, Chen Duling suddenly burst out laughing.

At first, this smile was like a slight tremor in the night breeze, weak and full of uncertainty, but it soon turned into a series of clear and pleasant sounds like silver bells, echoing slowly in this quiet alley.

The smile on her face was like the first ray of sunshine at dawn, instantly dispelling the heavy haze between them.

The originally tense atmosphere seemed to be injected with a vigorous and fresh vitality, and suddenly became much more relaxed.

Lin Li was slightly startled, his brows slowly relaxed, and the tension in his eyes gradually dissipated like smoke, replaced by a faint relaxed smile.

"you……"

Lin Li wanted to speak, but found that his voice was a little hoarse.

"Dudu, what are you laughing at?"

He finally asked, with a hint of confusion in his tone.

Chen Duling shook her head gently, but the smile on her face did not fade in the slightest.

"Nothing, I just suddenly felt that it was quite silly for us to stand face to face like this without saying anything."

Her answer made Lin Li stunned for a moment, and then he showed a helpless bitter smile.

"Okay, I won't tease you anymore."

"It's rare to see you so nervous, like you don't even dare to breathe. It's quite unusual."

"It turns out that our teacher Nanxun has this side to him. I wonder if others would be shocked if they saw this."

Chen Duling smiled with her eyes curved, the light in her eyes shining like stars.

As she finished speaking, Lin Li couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.

He could tell that Dudu was really not angry or blaming him for this matter, and even looked quite happy.

The alley under the moonlight seemed particularly quiet and peaceful at this moment, no longer having the depressing sense of urgency as before.

The breeze blew softly, bringing a hint of coolness unique to the night. The two smiled at each other, and their eyes above the masks curved into crescent shapes.

At this moment, both Chen Duling and Lin Li felt the long-lost sense of ease and comfort.

Chen Duling stretched out her arm and put it around Lin Li's arm, gently tilted her head to lean on his shoulder, turned around and continued walking forward with him.

"Ali, congratulations, you have your own child."

"To be honest, although I'm a little jealous that Ruonan is having your first child, I'm actually quite happy. It's like a big stone in my heart has finally fallen to the ground."

Chen Duling's voice was soft, revealing an unconcealable happiness.

Her eyes narrowed slightly, almost into a slit.

"Why do you say that?"

"To be honest, Dudu, I expected you to accept this calmly, but I didn't expect you to act so... um... happy."

"Can you tell me what you think?"

Lin Li turned his head and looked down at her with a curious expression.

He couldn't understand Chen Duling's reaction.

No matter how generous you are, you wouldn't be so obviously happy, right?
"Ah……"

"Don't you understand this?"

"Do you want to know why?"

Chen Duling chuckled, raised her fair little face and winked at him gently.

She smiled playfully, her shoulder-length hair swaying gently with her movements, and the ends of her hair drew graceful arcs in the air, adding a bit of cheerfulness.

"Appreciate further details."

Looking at Chen Duling, who looked like a young girl in her twenties, Lin Li's expression became softer and he smiled.

Our classmate Dudu looks so cute like this, without any of his usual coolness.

Chen Duling raised her eyebrows proudly at him, quickly organized her words, and spoke softly in her slightly hoarse royal sister voice:
"Actually, I'm very grateful to Ruonan."

The first words she said made Lin Li pause slightly.

He turned his head and glanced at her with a puzzled look, then Lin Li raised his foot and continued walking forward.

Chen Duling smiled faintly and met his gaze with a little reproachful expression.

"Sometimes I think you are so smart that you seem to know everything, and sometimes I think you are really crazy."

"Have you noticed that there is something you seem to have been ignoring?"

"what's up?"

"I don't know if you have ever thought about it in private. Why have we never taken any measures between us? Why have we never won the prize in such a long time?"

"Hasn't it ever occurred to you to think about it? To worry about it?"

Lin Li paused, and a flash of lightning seemed to flash through his mind.

Looking at Chen Duling's pretty face with a smile like a flower, he vaguely grasped the key point. Yes!

Whether with Chen Duling or with anyone else, he never took any measures, but after all this time, only Zhang Ruonan got pregnant.

In fact, he himself had a vague suspicion that his physique after rebirth was somewhat different from that of ordinary people. He was not like a normal person at all. Both his motor nerves and abilities in that area were extremely strong, so it was not easy for Dudu and the others to get pregnant.

But he couldn't tell anyone about this and could only keep it secret in his heart. In fact, when his parents urged him about his child during the Chinese New Year, he considered finding some time later to find a trustworthy institution to check his health.

Now it seems that Dudu and other people have always been worried about this. Maybe they even secretly checked their own physical condition and suspected him after making sure that there was nothing wrong with them. However, it was not easy for them to tell him directly about this, for fear of hurting his self-esteem, so they kept it in their hearts.

Thinking of this, Lin Li couldn't help but shake his head and laugh.

"From your expression, I see you've considered this, right?"

Chen Duling immediately understood his expression and asked with a reproachful look.

"So Dudu, you didn't talk to me about this before because you were afraid that if there was something wrong with my body, you might hurt my fragile heart?"

Lin Li raised his hands and hugged her soft waist, looking at her with a feeling of not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

"Yes, I'm afraid that if our teacher Nan Xun, who is rare even in heaven, is suspected of not being good in that aspect, what will he do if he gets angry out of shame?"

Chen Duling curled her lips and looked up at him, her smile sweet and charming.

In fact, she was doubtful about Lin Li's physical condition, but she didn't doubt that he was not good. Instead, she suspected that it was because his physical condition was too good that it was difficult for him to conceive.

After all, Lin Li’s performance…

Some are too perverted!

But this kind of thing is difficult to talk about and a little sensitive, so she never brought it up on her own initiative.

Now that Zhang Ruonan is finally pregnant, although she feels a little empty, she is mostly happy. It seems that her previous guess is almost right.

"Don't you know whether I can do it or not?"

"Perhaps, I can prove myself again tonight?"

Lin Li quickly guessed what she was thinking from her reaction, and he felt helpless but also a little touched.

But he pretended to be angry and embarrassed, and threatened her with narrowed eyes.

"No, no, our teacher Nanxun is the most powerful. No one dares to doubt you."

"You are so magnanimous, can you please forgive me?"

"Please~"

Chen Duling supported his chest, made a pitiful look and begged in a soft voice.

She frowned slightly, and there was a hint of adorable timidity in her eyes.

Her long eyelashes trembled slightly, and she looked a little aggrieved. Her acting skills were truly excellent.

"It's too late. I have to prove myself tonight and try my best to make you bear a baby for me."

Lin Li lowered his head and moved closer to her little face, staring into her eyes, so close that he could see himself clearly in her eyes through her dark eyes.

"I'd love to, but not today. I have something to do today."

Chen Duling met his gaze without flinching and spoke softly.

"Is there anything more important than this?"

Lin Li was stunned and looked puzzled.

"After all, this is your first child. I believe that uncle and aunt will be very happy when they know the good news. You can call them first to tell them. They will probably come to Beijing at that time. If they are willing, we will arrange a place for them to live so that they can take care of Ruonan later."

"Besides, Ruonan is a public figure after all. Even if everyone knows about your affairs, it is not appropriate for her to fade out of the public eye so abruptly. It is best to give her a suitable reason, such as preparing for a role in a new drama."

"Of course, this doesn't have to be the case for the first three months, but if you're concerned, you can arrange it in advance."

"Then there is the guarantee of her daily life. I don't know how she lived at No. 8 Xiaoyun Road before. Now that she is pregnant, someone must take care of her, and her nutrition and health must be kept up."

"As for family doctors, you have to find one in advance, just in case, and be on call at all times to ensure the safety of her and the child."

"By the way, Ruonan has had a full body treatment..."

Chen Duling's expression was extremely serious, and everything he said seemed to have been carefully considered.

While she was speaking, Lin Li just looked at her, his expression changing as she spoke.

Until finally, he couldn't help but interrupt her.

"Dudu."

"Huh? What's wrong?"

Chen Duling looked at him with bright eyes, her small eyebrows slightly wrinkled, forming a cute wrinkle, and there was a bit of confusion in her eyes.

"You're so nice and thoughtful, I feel like I suddenly have nothing to do. What should I do?"

Lin Li looked into her eyes seriously, his emotions complicated and incomprehensible for a moment.

At this moment, he suddenly had an indescribable feeling, mixed with a hint of shame.

"Don't be too happy too soon. I did this for my own reasons. It's not because I'm broad-minded."

"I'll take good care of Ruonan, so you can rest assured. You'll think I'm really sensible, and you'll be even nicer to me."

"Isn't that right?"

There was a faint smile between Chen Duling's eyebrows, and her smart eyes looked particularly playful, adding a bit of liveliness to her.

She deliberately put on an appearance of being thrifty in order to reassure Lin Li.

But the more she did this, the more Lin Li was moved.

"That's true. Our Dudu is indeed a top female student at NCU. She can calculate very clearly."

Lin Li followed her words and gently rubbed her upturned nose with his nose through the mask, with a gentle smile between his eyebrows.

"Hmmmm~"

"But I actually have another purpose."

Chen Duling raised her eyebrows at him coquettishly, her eyes curved.

"What purpose?"

"I want a child, too."

"Me and your child!"

Lin Li looked at Chen Duling, whose eyes were extremely serious, and was slightly stunned.

Then, he curved his eyebrows and smiled, nodding heavily.

"it is good!"
