Fooling Huayu for Thirty Years

Chapter 420 Li Hong: From now on, we're even.

Where are you planning to go?

"casual."

The car started moving, but no matter what, Ma Xun still had to ask a question.

But this was the answer I received.

A man and a woman, and a casual remark.

That's definitely the most chilling word.

But this didn't deter Ma Xun.

Not long after, his Audi A6 appeared near a movie theater.

"What are you..."

"How about we catch a movie?"

Ma Xun smiled and invited the beautiful female host out of the car, and even gave her a mask and a hat.

Obviously, that's enough.

Of course, that's not enough, because Li Hong is wearing the outfit she wore while recording the show today.

She wore a burgundy tailored suit skirt with a white chiffon blouse underneath, adorned with ruffles.

Nude stockings, black high heels.

Paired with her big wavy hair, well, this makeup was all designed by Ma Xun.

And now, it looks beautiful no matter how you look at it.

It's alright, watching a movie should be considered safe.

After all, the screening room was dark.

Li Hong blushed at the thought of being in complete darkness.

However, a practical problem immediately flashed into her mind.

"What movie are you going to watch? 'Incense'?"

Although it was a guess, when she finally revealed the movie's name, she spoke with an almost certain tone.

Ma Xun laughed, "You'll find out in a moment."

Should we maintain some mystery?

So, not long after, the two of them appeared in the screening room of "Troy".

How do I watch this movie?

It has to be said that Li Hong was genuinely surprised; when she asked the question, the corners of her mouth were turned up.

Ma Xun didn't offer much explanation and simply took the popcorn.

"First, put it in place."

Li Hong bluntly asked, "Is this considered treating you to dinner?"

Ma Xun almost burst out laughing. "Let's talk about it after the movie."

What we eat, well, that's another story.

We were planning to chat some more, but the movie had already started.

"Troy" is, after all, a Hollywood blockbuster. Although it's currently receiving a lot of criticism, it is indeed quite impressive.

The number of people in this movie theater was alright.

But that's not a lot.

But what's so special about this movie?
Why did Ma Xun take me to see this movie?
Li Hong simply couldn't understand it.

In fact, Li Hong wasn't particularly obsessed with movies, and she didn't know much about them either.

So, she really couldn't figure out anything about this movie.

As a result, less than half an hour into the movie, the atmosphere between the two of them became very tense.

There was nothing to say.

Well, after all, we're watching a movie, so not talking is a good manner.

But sometimes, you need to whisper a little, right?

Look, aren't quite a few people in front whispering to each other?
Li Hong felt that she should say something too.

Just when she couldn't find an excuse, she suddenly heard Ma Xun's voice.

What do you think of the story in this movie?

Professional... But in the current situation, is it really necessary to ask such a professional question?

Li Hong's thinking was correct, but she still had to answer this question.

He said in a low voice, "I learned about it when I was a kid, the Trojan horse."

"this one?"

"What else could it be?"

"What about its nature?"

"What kind of nature... Oh, I see, this is a surprise attack?"

Li Hong was quite confident. The Trojan Horse wasn't exactly a famous historical ingenious scheme, so his answer should be fine.

Ke Ma Xun laughed, "Wrong."

"Then what is right?" Li Hong was getting a little angry, and her voice was getting louder.

"In my opinion, the Trojan Horse is not a clever scheme, but a hoax."

"Hype... Oh, you mean deception, well that's not wrong either."

Li Hong finally understood what Ma Xun meant, but did she really understand?

"Have you ever thought about how big a Trojan horse that can hold a lot of people would have to be? And how do these people eat, drink, and relieve themselves while they are inside the Trojan horse for such a long time? Even if there is food, what about the excrement?"

In a sealed environment for such a long time, do you know what the result would be according to normal Earth logic?

"This... I really can't believe it."

"Those people inside the Trojan horse, if they're lucky, they'll be poisoned to death by their own excrement and urine, because it produces methane. If they're unlucky, the methane will explode, meaning they'll be blown up by their own excrement and urine."

puff!

Li Hong truly couldn't hold back.

He laughed so hard he covered his face with his hands.

But Ma Xun was very serious at this moment. He spoke in a low but extremely serious tone: "Have you ever thought about it? If the Trojan Horse was such a brilliant scheme, then why didn't any similar schemes appear in later wars? Why didn't anyone copy the Trojan Horse?"
There are many ways to infiltrate the capital of an enemy country, but a method as 'genius' as this is unprecedented in human history.

Upon hearing this, Li Hong suddenly realized something. "You mean, the story of the Trojan Horse was just a lie?"

"The Homeric epics are the source, but do you know how many words are in this masterpiece? In such a long history, do you think it's possible to write so many words?"

"This...could it be..."

Ma Xun's next sentence was very impressive.

"But Europe and America treat this as history!"

Li Hong's heart raced instantly, because if what Ma Xun said was true...

Haven't we been deceived all these years?
Upon closer examination, the Trojan horse theory is indeed riddled with flaws.

Perhaps it was just a myth to begin with.

Li Hong was about to say something, but she suddenly realized that she had been silenced by Ma Xun.

He already said it, the West should treat this Trojan Horse as history.

And look at this movie right now.

This film is neither mythological nor historical.

It seems to be...

Why are you telling me this?

Li Hong finally asked the question.

Ma Xun said with a smile, "Aren't you curious about 'Incense'?"

The moment Li Hong heard these words, her mind went blank.

……

I haven't finished watching the movie "Troy".

Ma Xun has already gone this far, what's there to see?

Let's go out for dinner.

But how should we eat this meal?

"Can you cook?"

"Do I look like I can cook?"

"If we go to a restaurant..."

"Don't worry, it's on me."

"How about we turn left up ahead?" "Oh? So that means 'anywhere'?"

Ma Xun's words were meant as a retort, and Li Hong rolled her eyes at him, the unspoken message being: You stingy little devil.

But this certainly didn't make Ma Xun angry; on the contrary, he laughed.

Li Hong replied, "You'll know when we get there."

Following Li Hong's directions, they soon arrived at an old residential area.

And after the car was parked, then...

"If you don't mind, I can show you what I'm capable of."

Li Hong said this with a touch of playfulness.

Ma Xun was even more direct.

"Can I take this as an invitation?"

Yes, this place must be Li Hong's residence; he couldn't possibly show off his skills anywhere else.

As a result... Li Hong left without saying a word.

Without saying a word, Ma Xun immediately followed.

The two went upstairs one after the other.

This old building is on the top floor.

Some things are challenging.

Fortunately, Ma Xun was in good health, but he was still breathing heavily.

"I have quite a few houses, and if you're interested, I can..."

"I do not care."

There was a hint of anger in his words.

Ma Xun was actually doing it on purpose; in fact, he had been testing Li Hong's bottom line from the beginning until now.

On the surface, it seems that Li Hong has held his ground, but in reality, Ma Xun is pressing forward step by step.

Fortunately, the old building wasn't very tall, and the two of them soon entered Li Hong's small house.

It was indeed a small house, not very big.

Although there are rooms allocated for stage crews, it's highly unlikely that a newcomer like Li Hong would be assigned any rooms.

Ma Xun's previous words, though a test, could indeed solve Li Hong's practical problems.

So, this thing definitely has something.

Now, in the small house, Li Hong took off her suit jacket.

There was a clothes rack in the room with several similar suit skirts on it.

The host's outfit is naturally sponsored by a brand, which is a kind of advertising. But as for whether the outfit should be returned... well, the brand wouldn't be so stingy.

However, the regulations will definitely state that you must keep it safe and return it later.

Li Hong is still living with these clothes, and this situation...

Ma Xun noticed something was amiss.

"This room..."

Yes, there's still one room.

"Oh, what's inside..."

Before Li Hong could finish speaking, Ma Xun interrupted, "I've seen the bed, the 'wardrobe,' and everything else. What else could be in this room?"

They simply pushed the door open.

"You..." Li Hong was furious.

But Ma Xun suddenly paused, stunned.

Because this room was set up like a makeshift live-streaming studio.

However, the table was certainly not as big as a live broadcast studio, and there was no camera opposite the table, but a floor-length mirror.

Ma Xun immediately understood what was going on in this room.

But this time he didn't laugh.

"So, you've been working this hard all along."

Yes, he wouldn't laugh at someone who works hard.

This room was clearly used by Li Hong for practice, so that she could maintain a great state for every smile, every word, and every gesture.

Even though Ma Xun didn't laugh, Li Hong was still very embarrassed.

"I... well... I'd better go cook."

Yes, I promised to show off my skills.

But Ma Xun didn't give Li Hong that chance; he grabbed the well-known host who was planning to cook.

“You…” Li Hong was naturally startled, but before she could finish a single word…

Ma Xun then covered her mouth.

This makeup look naturally involves wearing heavy lipstick.

Some people say that lipstick is poisonous.

But Ma Xun doesn't care about that anymore.

A beautiful woman should be savored so carefully, even if you know she's poisonous, what does it matter?

Wouldn't it be even better if it were a little poisonous?
Ma Xun was in such high spirits at this moment, and Li Hong was no match for him.

When the two parted ways.

Li Hong's legs went weak.

Ma Xun, without any hesitation, simply carried her onto her own 'live broadcast platform'.

"Wait, wait a minute..."

"What are you waiting for? Didn't you invite me up?"

Ma Xun's reason made Li Hong blush even more; she hadn't expected it to be so sudden.

"But, but..."

"I didn't actually lie to anyone about 'Incense.' Although I did use a lot of tricks in making this film, it is an excellent film in itself."

My methods did indeed have the air of deception, and I did fool a lot of people, but the movie was good.

Compared to something as unrealistic as a Trojan horse, I'm definitely an honest person.

Why is he saying this?

"I...I understand, but..."

That's right, Li Hong understood. This was exactly what was being said to clear up her confusion.

But now, it's not like you can just come down whenever you want.

Ma Xun ripped off his tie and then lifted Li Hong's legs up.

I really didn't expect her legs to be so outstanding.

Especially when wrapped in shredded meat.

Gently touching Ma Xun's face felt like playing the cello.

"Shut up, we'll talk about it another day."

Ma Xun is acting like a domineering CEO right now.

But what he said... was really a double entendre.

Li Hong was still pushing him, "But I, I'm here..."

Ma Xun frowned and said, "Didn't you already set everything up here? Isn't this just for the 'fun' aspect of the live stream?"

Good guy, really good guy!

"That was not what I meant!"

Li Hong was both amused and angry.

That's clearly not the case.

Ma Xun was just teasing her, so he leaned down and spoke to her closely, "What else do you want to say?"

Li Hong was very embarrassed, but she still mustered up her courage because that was exactly what she wanted to say.

"From now on, we will be even."

It turns out that Li Hong believed her success this time was due to Ma Xun's help.

So now...

It turned out to be quite convenient to use!
Ma Xun was angry...

hmm~
Then he added, "In the future, it won't be up to you to decide."
