Fog Returns to the Capital

Chapter 62: Are you still afraid when you see me?
It quieted down for a while.

He Yanting then spoke slowly and deliberately, "I heard that a famous director in Beijing's film circle is preparing a film, and most of the actors in the circle have gone to participate."

Zhou Jinghuai remained calm and said indifferently, "My wife went too?"

"more than."

After He Yanting finished speaking, he smiled without saying a word.

There seemed to be a hint of schadenfreude in his expression.

"..."

Zhou Jinghuai: "Who else?"

Upon hearing this, He Yanting's smile deepened, but he did not speak immediately.

He picked up his teacup, lowered his eyes slightly, gently blew away the tea foam floating on the surface, took a small sip of Taiping Houkui tea, and then spoke slowly and deliberately.

"Xiling has returned to the capital, did you know that?"

As the last note faded, the entire room fell silent.

……

the other side.

The training base was filled with cries of sorrow.

The celebrities who appear glamorous on the outside are now back at the base, without makeup and covered in dust.

If this month-long training process were turned into a variety show, I wonder how popular it would become online.

The entire base was sealed off, and no outsiders were allowed to enter. There were no cameras, and all electronic devices were confiscated.

Everything that happens here is destined to remain unknown to the outside world.

Some people privately discussed how the instructors were too strict. They were just there for special training, not actually his soldiers, so there was no need to be so demanding of them.

But they could only say these things in private; they didn't dare to bring them up in public.

In the first couple of days after arriving, a popular young actor in the industry acted like a diva, refusing to be managed and insisting on going into the mud pit. Less than half an hour later, Director Chen called, and the actor was kicked out of the studio. He was also told that he no longer needed to audition for any of Director Chen's future projects.

Although Director Chen is not considered to have absolute power among directors in Beijing, he is still highly respected.

When Director Chen said he would no longer hire actors, it meant that young actors would basically have no chance of getting roles in films directed by directors from the Beijing film circle.

After this incident, most of the people who came in for training let go of their celebrity image.

They did exactly as the instructors told them to do.

……

After nearly a month of training, Li Wu looked completely disheveled.

Only her eyes remained bright and sparkling.

However, perhaps due to the intense training, she visibly lost weight. Her slender, supple waist was so small it could be encircled by a single hand.

When it was time to eat after training, Li Wu arrived a little late. She went to the auntie who served sweet and sour pork ribs, as usual.

It was just a coincidence.

She gave the last serving of sweet and sour pork ribs to the senior colleague in front of her.

"Lili is here?"

The senior colleague turned around and saw Li Wu staring longingly at the auntie who had just scooped out the last spoonful of sweet and sour pork ribs. She immediately smiled and said, "Remember to come earlier next time."

Among the group of big-name actors, Li Wu was the most down-to-earth. In addition, she was the youngest and had a sweet and pretty appearance, so the older actors all liked to talk to her.

Li Wu didn't mind being teased. She smiled at the senior and said, "...I can eat anything." In the end, Li Wu ordered a plate of green vegetables and a stir-fried broccoli.

But don't want to.

She had just found a seat when the auntie in charge of the sweet and sour pork ribs walked over to her, carrying a plate of sweet and sour pork ribs, saying it was reserved for her.

Li Wu looked at the sweet and sour pork ribs, which was clearly a portion and a half, and before she could ask anything, the aunt placed the plate in front of her and left.

Perhaps they were tired from training, as everyone around them was focused on eating their own meals and few people noticed what was happening.

Even if they had some doubts, wasting food was practically nonexistent in Li Wu's household.

So after eating a dinner that was significantly larger than her normal portion, Li Wu vaguely felt a bit bloated in her lower abdomen.

After the afternoon training session, there is a one-hour break time, including dinner.

Li Wu took a casual stroll around the base, just to digest his food.

But she didn't expect to run into Xu Xiling, who was playing with a gun.

The reason he didn't mention training was that Li Wu saw every bullet he fired hit the bullseye.

But rather.

His entire demeanor exuded an indescribable ease and naturalness.

After glancing at it, Li Wu decided to leave quietly.

But don't want to.

Xu Xiling's keen sense of awareness, honed over years, made him glance over in that instant.

Li Wu was caught off guard when their eyes met, and her heart skipped a beat when she looked into those deep, cold eyes.

As if startled, Li Wu subconsciously took two steps back.

He looked over.

After regaining her balance, Li Wu smiled at him and greeted him politely, "Hello, Instructor Xu."

She was wearing the uniform light green outfit that had been distributed to her. Even though it was already the smallest size, it still looked loose on her. She looked so slender and petite that she seemed like she could be blown away by the wind at any moment.

But rather.

In every training session, she was always the best.

"It's been more than twenty days, and you're still afraid of me?"

Xu Xiling put away his gun and walked towards Li Wu, his voice deep and cold.

"...I just stepped on a pebble and lost my balance."

Li Wu was too embarrassed to say it, because his gaze had been so cold and intimidating that it had frightened her a little.

Hear the words.

Xu Xiling didn't expose her "excuse," but just stared at her for a second or two.

When he looked at her, his eyes were unfathomably black.

Xu Xiling's aura was too cold and aloof. Even though Li Wu had been seeing him every day for so many days, she was still not used to being with him.

After a slight pause, Li Wu spoke, "Then, Instructor Xu, if there's nothing else, I'll take my leave..."

Want to learn how to shoot?

Xu Xiling stared at her with his dark eyes and said calmly.
