Entertainment: Who still wants to fall in love when there are cheats?

Chapter 137 Reunion

Although Yan Kuan didn't remember helping Li Boda casually, Li Boda had no intention of not repaying the favor.

Therefore, Li Boda treated Yan Kuan quite kindly on set, and because of Li Boda's kindness, Yan Kuan was able to integrate into the crew more easily.

But looking at Yan Kuan's portrayal of Ye Gucheng, Li Boda couldn't help but want to laugh.

Because Yan Kuan's hairstyle was relatively... well, trendy, I guess you could call it trendy. There was a wisp of hair in front of his eyebrow that wasn't quite right—it was a patch of hair falling diagonally, obscuring one of his eyes. Ye Gucheng, in the novel, was portrayed as an ethereal, almost immortal being, hence his swordsmanship being described as celestial. But Yan Kuan, this supposed immortal, had become a non-mainstream, non-mainstream immortal—it was laughable no matter how you looked at it.

However, Yan Kuan himself seemed quite satisfied with his look, so Li Boda didn't say anything.

After all, they're happy, and if you say something inappropriate at this time, it will inevitably spoil their mood and may even create a bad impression of you.

Therefore, some things can be said, and some things should not be said.

However, to be honest, Ye Gucheng in this drama does give people the feeling of being a bit petty, whether it's his hairstyle or his entrance.

While Li Boda was filming "The Legend of Lu Xiaofeng", the TV series "The Legend of Xue Pinggui", which he starred in last year and which hadn't made much of a splash but later became a hit due to Zhang Tielin's selfless dedication, was finally going to be broadcast on television.

Thanks to Zhang Tielin's selfless dedication, the production team of "The Legend of Xue Pinggui" improved in all aspects, and the investors also increased their investment, which raised the overall quality of the TV series to a higher level.

Given the show's popularity, the production team of "Xue Pinggui" specially invited Li Boda to participate in promotional activities before the show was scheduled to air on television.

After all, the "Legend of Xue Pinggui" project later became a huge undertaking, even comparable to Zhang Dahuzi's "The Return of the Condor Heroes," so the production team paid special attention to its promotion. As the male lead of the series, Li Boda was required to appear in the film.

Therefore, Li Boda had to ask the crew of "The Legend of Lu Xiaofeng" for leave again.

Fortunately, there was a considerable gap between this leave and the last time he filmed the movie "Lost in Beijing," during which time Li Boda had filmed a lot of scenes. Therefore, when Li Boda asked for leave again, he did not encounter any difficulties from the crew.

When Li Boda came to participate in the promotion of the TV series "The Legend of Xue Pinggui", he found that in addition to the actors of the TV series itself, Zeng Li also appeared there.

As for the reason for Zeng Li's appearance, it was naturally because of the song "Wujiapo" that Zeng Li sang with Li Boda.

There are solo and duet versions of "Wujiapo". The production team chose the duet version of "Wujiapo" as the theme song, and Zeng Li, the singer, was naturally invited to participate in the promotional activities.

Of course, it would be normal for Zeng Li to refuse, after all, she only sang a theme song with Li Boda.

Other TV dramas, who would let the singer who sang the theme song participate in the promotion of the TV drama? Even if there are, it is definitely an occasional exception.

So it's perfectly normal for Zeng Li to refuse even if she doesn't come.

However, when Zeng Li received the invitation, she thought of Li Boda. She had developed a strong liking for Li Boda when they recorded the song before. Although they only kept in touch occasionally afterward, Zeng Li immediately thought of Li Boda when she received the invitation. On impulse, she agreed to help promote the "Legend of Xue Pinggui" drama.

Of course, it's not a bad deal for her to promote it. After all, "The Legend of Xue Pinggui" is currently very popular, and with such high popularity, she, as one of the singers of the theme song, can certainly benefit greatly.

"Zeng Li, long time no see!" Li Boda greeted Zeng Li with a smile. Zeng Li's eyes lit up when she saw Li Boda, and a happy smile appeared on her face.

Li Xiaoran, on the other hand, was quite happy to see Li Boda, but she didn't expect that after Li Boda arrived, he would greet Zeng Li first instead of her. Although she had just been talking to other members of the crew, she was not as conspicuous as Zeng Li, who was standing to the side.

However, given her relationship with Li Boda, and the fact that Li Boda didn't notice her immediately or greet her right away, Li Xiaoran couldn't help but feel uncomfortable. She couldn't help but grumble inwardly, feeling a bit annoyed with Li Boda.

After greeting Zeng Li, Li Boda then greeted the others, including Li Xiaoran, in turn.

Everyone else responded with smiles, but Li Xiaoran looked at Li Boda with a forced smile. It was one thing that he didn't greet her first, but later he even greeted her together with the others, without giving her any special treatment. It was a waste that she had specially taken a plane all the way from afar to send him that thing when Li Boda was filming "The Dog".

In reality, Li Boda only pretended not to treat Li Xiaoran differently. After all, if he did, others might notice something. He originally planned to get intimate with Li Xiaoran in private and rekindle their past relationship. However, he did not expect that Li Xiaoran would feel somewhat dissatisfied with him because of this.

The cast of "Xue Pinggui" were all quite excited to reunite. After all, as long as the quality of "The Legend of Xue Pinggui" is not too problematic, it will definitely be a huge hit. As the actors playing the main roles in this drama, they will also definitely become very popular. So they are genuinely happy.

As for Li Boda, the male lead of this film, his movie "The Dog" was released some time ago. Although the box office was not good, his acting skills have been praised. The popularity of the film has not subsided much. Many people even think that Li Boda might win the Best Actor award, or at least get a nomination.

Whether it's winning the Best Actor award or just being nominated, it's a significant leap for Li Boda, and his future development is likely to be even better. Therefore, many people are quite enthusiastic about Li Boda, after all, who knows what benefits they might gain from establishing a relationship with him?

Li Boda dealt with these people with a smile, and after finally getting rid of them, he cornered Li Xiaoran.

When Li Xiaoran saw Li Boda following her, the corners of her mouth turned up, but the next moment she regained her angry expression, snorted, and turned to leave.

Li Boda simply reached out and braced himself against the wall, blocking Li Xiaoran's path and giving her a wall slam.

"What's wrong? We haven't seen each other for so long, don't you miss me?" Li Boda said to Li Xiaoran with a smile.

"Heh, miss you? Why would I miss you? You didn't even greet me after you arrived, but instead chatted and laughed with Zeng Li..." Li Xiaoran sneered.

Seeing Li Xiaoran like this, Li Boda knew what was wrong with her—she was jealous!

Li Boda grabbed Li Xiaoran by the back of the neck. Li Xiaoran was startled and subconsciously looked up at Li Boda. Li Boda then kissed her. Li Xiaoran originally wanted to resist, but in the end she only lightly punched Li Boda twice and then stood on tiptoe to hug Li Boda's neck.

Li Xiaoran, easily won over!

……

Next, Li Boda followed the cast and crew of "The Legend of Xue Pinggui" around, participating in various events and promoting the TV series.

When promoting the TV series, Li Boda, as the male lead and the singer of the theme song, had to sing the song "Wujiapo" at the event.

Li Boda and Zeng Li would stand together from time to time and sing this song.

When they sing, they inevitably make eye contact. Every time their eyes meet, Li Boda and Zeng Li's gaze softens, and sometimes they even unconsciously hold hands while singing.

So much so that every time she finished singing this song, Li Xiaoran would stare straight at Li Boda with anger in her eyes, but afterwards, the anger in her eyes would be extinguished by saliva or something else.

Even if Li Boda tries to hide it, others will inevitably notice something about Li Boda and Li Xiaoran.

Just like Zeng Li, she vaguely felt that there was something not quite right between Li Boda and Li Xiaoran.

So much so that once when Zeng Li was chatting with Li Boda, she subtly asked Li Xiaoran if she was Li Boda's girlfriend.

Li Boda naturally smiled and said no.

Yes, that's not true.

After all, although they had done things they should and shouldn't have done, Li Boda had indeed told Li Xiaoran about his situation. Li Xiaoran even left in a huff and never mentioned wanting to define her relationship with Li Boda again. Although the two of them did *that* later, they couldn't really be considered boyfriend and girlfriend.

This is why, although Li Xiaoran felt that something was off between Li Boda and Zeng Li, she didn't make a scene. After all, although the two were close, they weren't boyfriend and girlfriend!
After hearing Li Boda's answer, Zeng Li felt that there was something wrong with the relationship between Li Boda and Li Xiaoran, but she was willing to believe Li Boda's words. Afterwards, she even intentionally or unintentionally got closer to Li Boda. The two would hold hands from time to time, get closer, or hug each other lightly, and their relationship became much closer than before.

……

"This is 'Joyful Camp,' and now let's welcome the cast and crew of 'The Legend of Xue Pinggui'..." He Jiong and the other hosts shouted loudly.

As the most popular variety show right now, "Happy Camp" is indispensable when promoting any large-scale TV series.

However, when Li Boda participated in this variety show, he was so amused by its childishness that he cried.

This show is incredibly childish. They film the same segment repeatedly, making it completely devoid of the fun you get from watching variety shows.

Of the show's hosts, apart from He Jiong, who performed exceptionally well in every aspect, the rest were mostly... well, let's just say they were underwhelming.

They're either particularly loud and boisterous, or they lack a sense of propriety, or they have obsessive-compulsive disorder that's unbearable—it's really hard to describe.
