Huayu: I'm reborn, but you still force me to be a scumbag?

Chapter 3 Yang Mi
Chen Nuo said openly, "It's me. I'm sorry, I didn't know there was anyone inside. Um~ the landlord's surname is Zhang, right? He's my uncle. When he asked me to live here, he didn't tell me that you were living here. What's your relationship with him?"

The other party was silent for a while, then said, "I rented his house. The landlord asked me to move out before, but I didn't have time to do so..."

Chen Nuo could tell that the girl behind the door was not very old. Moreover, she seemed to be at a loss and stopped talking halfway through.

Chen Nuo asked: "Can we go in and talk in person? No matter what, we have to meet, right?"

The woman was silent for a long time before she said, "...Okay."

There was a squeak.

The security door opened.

Chen Nuo politely greeted her first: "Sorry to bother you, hello...eh?" He seldom lost his composure in front of women, unless he really couldn't control himself.

He was surprised to find that the girl in front of him looked familiar, very familiar, and like a younger version of someone.

Only her chin is not so pointed, and her face is not so stiff. She is not beautiful, but she is certainly not ugly either. She looks like a person of this era, like she walked out of an old photo.

The girl was stunned at first by Chen Nuo's face, and then she was startled by his strange reaction. She subconsciously lowered her head to check her clothes, and then asked in confusion: "What's wrong?"

"Ah, no, no." Chen Nuo quickly recovered and smiled, saying, "You look like a friend of mine."

"Really?" The girl stared at him doubtfully.

Chen Nuo nodded affirmatively, "Yes, her last name is Yang."

The girl was a little surprised, "Oh, what a coincidence, my last name is also Yang."

Chen Nuo said: "My name is Chen Nuo, what's your name?"

"My name is Yang Mi. The Mi of Mimi music."

Chen Nuo is not too familiar with the entertainment industry, but this person is too well-known. The key is that he has a girlfriend who is her big fan. She feeds him some black stuff every day, which is not sure whether it is true or not, making it impossible for Chen Nuo not to be familiar with her.

Yang Mi's eyes wandered over Chen Nuo's face.

Chen Nuo was not afraid of her seeing him, but this was not a big deal, so he asked politely, "Can we go in and talk? I have no ill intentions, and the key was given to me by the landlord. I didn't know you were here."

Yang Mi blushed a little, glanced at him again, moved aside and said, "Then come in."

The living room is spacious and bright, with sunlight pouring in through the floor-to-ceiling windows, adding a warm sheen to the light green wallpaper.

In front of the white leather sofa, there is a transparent glass coffee table with a simple fruit plate containing a banana and two apples.

On the balcony, there are lush green plants, and a pot of white Monstera looks particularly vibrant in the sun.

Chen Nuo placed the box at the door and sat down on the sofa. He caught a glimpse of water stains on the floor, which extended from the bathroom to the bedroom door.

Everything just happened so fast that he barely had time to see anything clearly. He only saw two words: white and big. No wonder those haters either criticized her face or her feet, but no one criticized her breasts.

But where is Yang Mi from? Why is she renting a house here too?
He didn't say anything for a while. Yang Mi was obviously a little uncomfortable on the single sofa beside him. She made small talk: "Do you want an apple? I'll wash one for you."

"No need to bother." Chen Nuo smiled at her politely, "Thank you. Let's chat. Are you still planning to stay?"

Yang Mi was stunned for a moment: "What do you mean?"

Chen Nuo said, "If you want to live here and I don't mind if there's anything wrong with you, then go ahead and live here. I can't live in such a big house by myself anyway. If you don't want to live here, then you can move out some other time. I won't rush you. After all, we're all newcomers here, and we should help each other when we come to the capital."

Yang Mi said, "I'm not from out of town, I'm from Beijing. It's just that this place is close to my training school, so I've been renting it. A few days ago, the landlord told me that someone was going to rent it, and he refunded me all the rent. But, I was very busy these two days, and my classes ended very late, so I was lazy and didn't move in. I didn't expect... you to come here suddenly today."

Chen Nuo suddenly realized what was going on. He said, "I didn't expect that. If I had known I would meet a beauty like you, I would have come earlier, haha."

Yang Mi glanced at him sideways, but she wasn't angry at all. She just said, "No way, I'm not good-looking."

Chen Nuo smiled and said, "Who said that? Even if you don't look good now, you will definitely look good in the future. Girls change a lot when they grow up, and I feel you can still change. Hahaha, just a joke, don't mind it." After saying this, the atmosphere suddenly became a little awkward.

But Chen Nuo did this on purpose.

This is an advanced technique used by scumbag men.

Because if you only say nice things, girls won't think you are a good person. Instead, they may think you are smooth-talking. If you deliberately use one or two silly and embarrassing jokes, sometimes people will have a better impression of you.

However, a sense of propriety is very important, and one must be able to make amends and change the subject in time.

It is not recommended for beginners.

Chen Nuo was an experienced man. He deliberately kept the audience silent for a few seconds. When he felt that the time was right, he laughed awkwardly twice, touched his head, and broke the silence. "So, you rented a house here because you are taking a training course nearby and preparing to apply to the Film Academy?"

Yang Mi's guard was lowered a little bit, and she nodded naturally, "Yes, eh... Since you asked, are you the same?"

Chen Nuo smiled and said, "Yes, me too. Wow, what a coincidence, it turns out we are both candidates for the same exam. Hey, do you think it is really that difficult to get into the Film Academy?"

This is more basic. Find topics that the other person is definitely interested in and do a good job of supporting them.

Twenty minutes later, Chen Nuo, the master of scumbag skills, was sorting things in the second bedroom of the house.

Yang Mi stood at the door and said somewhat embarrassedly: "Is it really okay for you to live in the second bedroom?"

"Of course, the master bedroom is too big. Even with the heater on, I still feel cold. I'm from the south and I'm afraid of the cold."

Yang Mi smiled and said, "How is that possible? Well, thank you, I will rent your house. I will rent it to you later."

"OK." Chen Nuo was not polite.

After a while, Chen Nuo packed up his things and went out to the living room, where he saw Yang Mi watching TV on the sofa, eating an apple.

Hearing Chen Nuo coming out, she turned around and asked, "Are you done packing? Here, this is the rent. Here you go." As she spoke, she took out a few bright red bills from her trouser pocket and handed them to Chen Nuo.

Chen Nuo nodded slightly, 4.

I didn't ask how the number was determined and just accepted it.

Yang Mi seemed to be more relaxed and tried to find something to talk about: "Have you seen this TV series? The third part of Ji Xiaolan."

Chen Nuo glanced at the TV. It was a must-see drama for him during the summer vacation. He had watched it over and over again many times. Later, the fourth part came out, but it was just a poor sequel.

"I've seen a little bit of it. What do you think?"

"It's great. The main reason for this play's good acting is because of the actors, who are all veteran actors. Our teacher told us to watch it carefully and try to figure out how they act."

Chen Nuo didn't expect Yang Mi to be so passionate about acting at this time. She didn't seem like she would rely on traffic to make a living and would even eat the whole pot.

Although he was very interested in acting, he was a little hungry, so he didn't respond and said, "I'm going to eat now. Do you want to eat? Do you want to come with me?"

Yang Mi chuckled and said, "No, I don't eat at night, you go ahead."

Chen Nuo then went out alone and had a meal at a small restaurant outside the community. He did not rush back afterwards, but wandered aimlessly on the street according to the middle-aged people's habit of digesting food after a meal.

He had been to the capital many times in later lives, but he had never seen the capital at this time.

The scenery here is completely different from other places in China. The towering modern skyscrapers and the hutong courtyards full of life coexist harmoniously in this city. On the same street, one side of the street still retains the style of the 1960s, but when you cross to the other side of the street, you may have stepped into the threshold of the new century.

At this time, he noticed the street sign on the side of the road and had already walked near the Film Academy.

Now that you're here, go check it out.
