Shadow of Chinese Entertainment

Chapter 138 Decent
On a winter night in late 2004, the cold wind cut my face like a knife.

Luo Jin shrank his neck and quickly left the Beijing Film Academy campus.

The commercial street not far away was as bustling as day, and the shops along the road were brightly lit.

There was a constant stream of students and pedestrians coming and going, and the youthful vitality and artistic atmosphere filled him, warming him up instantly.

Tonight, Luo Jin's classmates made an appointment to sing K together. Except for those who really couldn't come, there were more than ten people who could attend.

After all, it’s the end of the month and no one is rich anymore, so they can only pool their money to find a more ordinary KTV.

Even so, many boys are still prepared to empty their family savings and sell their underwear just to have a night of singing.

However, after the temporary tutor Hu Xiaobei joined, he specifically offered to treat everyone.

Everyone was naturally happy to see the success as they had saved their food and underwear.

In this bustling and lively area, a famous luxury KTV is bustling with activity.

As soon as he pushed open the door, noise came from all directions, laughter and conversations intertwined together, drilling straight into Luo Jin's ears.

He walked through the lobby, onto the soft carpet, and took the elevator up.

The closer he got to the private room area, the louder the noise became. His heart beat faster unconsciously as he looked forward to reuniting with his classmates.

As he stepped into the private room on the second floor, he was instantly overwhelmed by the high-decibel laughter and dynamic music.

People were coming and going in the corridor, waiters were hurrying around with wine and fruit plates, and singing coming from each box was like a lively chorus.

Luo Jin found the box, raised his hand and pushed open the door, and the hustle and bustle instantly hit him and enveloped him.

In the spacious and comfortable space, a soft leather sofa half-surrounded a large glass coffee table, which was filled with exquisite fruit plates, snacks and drinks.

What surprised him most was that there were two large plates of steaming dumplings and some hot food.

There were some plush pillows on the sofa, and some students were leaning lazily on them, looking very relaxed.

Lu Fangsheng was standing in front of the big screen, his body swaying to the rhythm of the music, with a slightly drunken blush on his face.

He held the microphone and sang passionately at the top of his lungs. Although his voice was a little unpleasant, he could barely be considered a soul singer.

The students around were also having a great time. Some of them followed the rhythm and made a lot of noise, while others sang along at the top of their lungs.

Some students held their wine glasses, drank and laughed, and just watched the group of idiots making noise quietly.

The images on the big screen and the flashing colorful lights danced wildly to the music.

The exquisite decorations on both sides are inexplicably in tune with the luxury of the box in this warm atmosphere.

Luo Jin raised his eyes and saw that the bright lights on the starry sky ceiling formed a wonderful contrast with the bustle in the house.

He took a deep breath, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise, he took off his coat and hung it up casually, and quickly joined the ranks of the idiots. With his own strong strength, it didn't take long for him to become a main player.

Hu Xiaobei sat in the corner, eating fried rice with an expression of ease, taking a sip of AD calcium milk from time to time, looking very comfortable.

An Xiaoqian is different. She and Zhou Yang hang out with a bunch of idiots, only daring to follow the crowd and make noise to the music.

Only in the short time after a song ended did she have time to come back and drink a sip of AD calcium milk.

As a new song played, everyone's attention was drawn to it.

Architect Jiang Da held a wine glass and walked gracefully through the crowd. He moved lightly and dodged from time to time. His slender waist twisted slightly with his movements, outlining just the right curves, like a willow swaying in the wind, revealing a unique charm.

When she looked at Hu Xiaobei from afar, a barely perceptible heat flashed in her eyes, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, and the subtle arc concealed a smile of determination.

She was wearing a burgundy slim-fit mid-length knitted dress. The warm and rich color made her skin look rosy and fair, giving her a touch of charming charm.

The skirt fits tightly, smoothly outlining the slender waist and graceful curves, showing the seductive charm and extreme temptation in every move.

The deep V neckline design reveals her delicate collarbone and a large area of ​​fair skin.

As she moved, the light and shadow at her neckline swayed, and as her breathing rose and fell, a touch of lustrous and charming scenery appeared and disappeared, exuding an alluring charm.

She paired it with a pair of thin black leggings, which fit tightly to her straight and slender legs, showing off her leg lines perfectly.

She was wearing a pair of black stiletto boots, the shaft of which just reached above her ankles and the heels were about seven or eight centimeters high.

Every step she took made her figure more graceful, and the curves of her legs were revealed vaguely as she walked. She lifted her legs inadvertently and then quickly put them down, seemingly unintentional but full of suggestion.

Her eyes are bright and lively. When she smiles, the curve of her lips is like a crescent moon, and the dimples faintly visible on her cheeks add a touch of sweetness.

Her skin is fair and delicate, with a soft luster. Her long black hair is as smooth as silk, falling naturally on her shoulders, swaying gently with her movements, inadvertently stirring people's hearts.

Architect Jiang had a perfectly sweet smile on his face, and his voice was so soft that it seemed as if water could drip out of it.

"Teacher Xiaobei, thanks to you treating us to dinner tonight, we can all relax here. You are so thoughtful."

As she spoke, she gently placed the wine glass on the coffee table in front of her with her right hand, and rested her left hand on the armrest of the sofa. She leaned forward slightly, crossed her legs, and tapped the ground with her toes, as if to use this force to get closer to Hu Xiaobei.

Her fingers slowly stroked along the armrest of the sofa, and her body quietly moved towards Hu Xiaobei. Her hair swayed slightly with the movement, scattered on her shoulders intentionally or unintentionally, and the sweet scent of perfume instantly spread.

Hu Xiaobei's brows slightly frowned, as if he was disturbed by the sweet smell of perfume. The spoon in his hand paused for a moment, then moved to the side without a trace. He just nodded perfunctorily, then lowered his head to concentrate on the fried rice in front of him, as if everything around him had nothing to do with him.

Perhaps it was because the box was too noisy, but Architect Jiang seemed unaware of the indifference.

She leaned closer again, and the hair on her chest fell on her shoulders intentionally or unintentionally, and then meandered along her collarbone into her neckline, echoing the vague scenery at the neckline.

With a faint smile on her lips and a shimmering allure in her eyes, she twisted her body slightly, leaning her upper body slightly toward Hu Xiaobei, and slowly stretched out one of her long, beautiful legs. Her movements seemed casual, but she reached towards Hu Xiaobei with precision, tapping the ground with her toes as she gradually closed the distance between them until her beautiful leg was almost touching his.

The thin black leggings fit tightly against her skin, outlining the tight and smooth lines of her legs without reservation. With the slightest movements of her body, they were inadvertently revealed, wantonly teasing Hu Xiaobei's gaze.

"I knew it, someone as talented and handsome as Mr. Xiaobei must be generous and magnanimous. Unlike other people, who are all stingy."

She deliberately dragged out the ending tone, and her words trembled from time to time, mixed with the alluring scent of lipstick and perfume, attacking Hu Xiaobei just right.

"Sensei", I've improved a lot since my last acting instruction~" Her voice was soft and a bit coquettish.

As she spoke, she tilted her head slightly and looked at Hu Xiaobei with eyes like an innocent little deer.

"Sen-sei, can you teach me again~" She slowly leaned forward, and the faint fragrance wrapped around Hu Xiaobei like a silk thread.

The originally low neckline falls down, revealing the soft curve that is wrapped just right. The fair skin glows with a delicate luster under the warm light, which inexplicably arouses people's hearts and arouses their imagination.

Her fingers were nimbly circling the edge of the wine glass, and the red nail polish on her nails was particularly dazzling under the light, as if hinting at something.

When she spoke, her eyes moved around and she blinked from time to time, trying her best to be charming. Every blink seemed to be sending some ambiguous signal.

Her tongue licked her lips intentionally or unintentionally, and the moist touch shone with an alluring luster under the light.

With each breath, her warm air, like a fragrant orchid, was poured into Hu Xiaobei's neck and nasal cavity.

It makes people miss a line from Sun Wukong.

Hu Xiaobei, however, remained calm. He simply took a sip of the AD calcium milk on the table, and without turning around, he said in a calm tone, "Can you please stop blowing at me?

From a medical perspective, the air you exhale contains microorganisms and metabolites, and close-range emission can easily spread pathogens and create a risk of cross-infection."

Perhaps because the surrounding environment was too noisy, Architect Jiang Da seemed not to have heard everything. He only caught a few words intermittently, such as close distance and cross-infection.

She opened her red lips slightly, and the tip of her tongue slid across her delicate and tempting lips again as if inadvertently, like a blooming rose, exuding fatal temptation.

Then, she moved closer again, and the warm breath she exhaled mixed with the faint aroma of wine brushed past Hu Xiaobei's ear as softly and seductively as a feather, and an ambiguous atmosphere instantly filled the air.

"So~せんせい, do you want to have some cross infection?"

The voice was as soft as melted honey, with the ending tone rising and trembling slightly, as if carrying endless hints and temptations, as if it had melted into the bones and penetrated into people's hearts.

Hu Xiaobei frowned slightly, put down the spoon in his hand, turned his head, looked at her expressionlessly, his tone flat but with unquestionable alienation.

"So, can you stay away from me? If you have nothing to do, don't disturb me while I'm eating." After saying that, he picked up the spoon again and continued eating.

The smile on Architect Jiang's face froze instantly. At that moment, she felt that the liveliness in the box had become a kind of irony, and the laughter around her pierced her heart like needles.

She secretly cursed herself in her heart for being too impatient and too explicit. Why didn't she notice Hu Xiaobei's coldness?

She originally thought that with her looks and carefully crafted charm, it would be a sure thing for her to win over Hu Xiaobei.

After all, in past experiences, as long as she gave the slightest hint, those men would come up to her on their own initiative.

A feeling of unwillingness surged in her heart. She really couldn't understand why Hu Xiaobei was so indifferent to her.

She thought about how she had specially chosen this slim-fitting knitted dress for tonight's meeting, carefully matched the jewelry, and even carefully groomed every strand of her hair.

I even practiced the teasing words and actions countless times in advance, but the result was such a response.

She couldn't help but start to wonder if there were too many outstanding girls around Hu Xiaobei and she was not outstanding enough?

Or... is he really not interested in beauties like me?

But how could she be willing to give up such a high-quality man like Hu Xiaobei?

Although she had a bad start today, as long as she had the chance to get closer to Hu Xiaobei in the future, she didn't believe that she couldn't conquer him.

Despite feeling embarrassed and unwilling, she quickly adjusted her expression, pretending to be relaxed and said with a smile, "Oh, Teacher Xiaobei is really humorous. Then you eat first, and I'll talk to you when I have time."

After saying that, she still kept the smile on her face, but without the charming gesture. She just raised the wine glass in her hand again and handed it forward with a hint of expectation in her eyes.

Although she was a little frustrated by Hu Xiaobei's previous attitude, she didn't want to end up in such a situation where there was no room for maneuver.

After all, Hu Xiaobei had been her teacher for a week, so he naturally wouldn't do anything so ruthless.

He put down the egg fried rice he was eating, picked up the AD calcium milk beside him, casually clinked his cup with hers, and took a small sip of the AD calcium milk.

The plastic bottle and glass cup collided slightly, making a soft sound, which seemed insignificant amid the lively singing and laughter around them.

But for Architect Jiang Da, it was a way to preserve the last bit of dignity he had left.

After clinking glasses, Hu Xiaobei didn't say anything and didn't even look at her. He just put down the AD calcium milk and continued eating his meal.

Seeing this, Architect Jiang Da tactfully stopped staying.

She held the wine glass gracefully, twisted her graceful waist, and returned to her original position with confidence, as if nothing had happened before.

(PS: Many people think that Xixi and Architect Jiang have always had a good relationship, but that is not the case.

In an interview, Xixi once said that she hardly saw her in college. Either she was out filming or Architect Jiang was out filming.

The two became acquainted during the filming of The Four.

It's just that Sissi is too sincere to others, which is why she is so easily backstabbed by villains.)
