Chinese entertainment: Top stars started being pursued by young actresses

Chapter 50, Scene 50: Discussing the Script in the Room at Night

That night
After finishing filming, Lin Shaobai returned to the hotel he had booked nearby.

His assistant, Xiao Liu, ate with him and then rested in the next room.

There's nothing much going on right now, so Lin Shaobai took a shower, put on his bathrobe, and sat alone on the sofa in his room watching TV.

A short while later, there was a knock on the door.

"Ok?"

Lin Shaobai couldn't figure out who would be there at this time.

We didn't order any takeout.

Could it be the assistant? Did Xiao Liu forget something?

Lin Shaobai walked slowly in his slippers, and when he opened the door, he found that it was his co-star, actress Zhang Ruonan.

Zhang Ruonan was wearing a tight white sweater and jeans; she had a pretty good figure.

She thought for a moment and cautiously raised her eyes: "It's me, I... I want to discuss the script with you."

"Oh."

"Sorry to bother you so late, is that alright?"

"come in."

Lin Shaobai opened the door, and Zhang Ruonan walked in somewhat awkwardly.

She only breathed a sigh of relief after the door was completely closed.

Lin Shaobai came to the living room to pour Zhang Ruonan a glass of water.

Zhang Ruonan, holding the script in both hands, walked to Lin Shaobai's side and shook his hand without saying a word.

This action caused Lin Shaobai to spill some of the water.

Zhang Ruonan's breathing accelerated noticeably.

But she kept encouraging herself and held Lin Shaobai's hand even tighter.

Lin Shaobai: "Uh, Zhang Ruonan, what you're doing..."

"I think you're very handsome and talented. I especially love listening to your songs. Many people saw me being criticized, but you were the only one who stood up for me. Although you're three years younger than me, I think you're very mature and composed. I..."

"..."

Lin Shaobai turned his head and listened patiently to what Zhang Ruonan had to say.

"I know I'm nothing right now, just a small-time actor. But I still want to tell you, I like you."

"Hmm..." Lin Shaobai didn't show any other expression, and after a while, he calmly said, "But my career is on the rise right now, and I don't plan to—"

"I know!"

Zhang Ruonan interrupted Lin Shaobai at the top of her lungs.

"I just wanted to share my thoughts with you. You... you don't need to respond... I'm sorry, I was being presumptuous."

Zhang Ruonan lowered her head sadly again.

At this moment, a mix of emotions—embarrassment, confusion, and shyness—was swirling within her.

Of course, it's probably more about being embarrassed.

Lin Shaobai changed the subject: "Weren't we supposed to be going over the script? Let's go."

He handed the water to Zhang Ruonan, then went to the living room.

Zhang Ruonan followed behind him, and the two of them actually sat on the sofa and went over the script for half an hour.

Lin Shaobai glanced at the time and stood up: "It's so late, um... um?!"

Suddenly, halfway through his sentence, Zhang Ruonan threw herself into his arms!
The soft intrusion briefly halted Lin Shaobai's thought process.

Zhang Ruonan buried her face tightly in Lin Shaobai's arms: "Tonight... I don't want to leave."

After speaking, she pitifully raised her big eyes and even bit her lip: "Okay?"

As she spoke, she untied the belt of Lin Shaobai's bathrobe...

……

……

……

The next day
Lin Shaobai arrived at the film set on time to film.

Meanwhile, the two female protagonists in the distance had reached their break time.

Zhang Ruonan and Ren Min sat together.

Ren Min bought a bunch of snacks and was about to hand them to Zhang Ruonan when he noticed that she had a grilled sausage in her mouth.

"Wow, that's amazing! I've never seen you eat anything on set before!"

Zhang Ruonan blushed and said nothing.

Ren Min: "Speaking of which, I didn't expect Lin Shaobai to sing so well and act so well too."

Zhang Ruonan: "Hmm"

Ren Min: "I feel that he will definitely become a very great actor in the future. I have this feeling for no reason."

Zhang Ruonan: "Mm."

"Why do I feel like you're acting strange today?" Ren Min gently touched Zhang Ruonan's forehead with his hand.

Zhang Ruonan sat obediently in place without making any resistance.

"You don't have a fever, but your condition is really strange."

"fine."

Zhang Ruonan felt incredibly shy thinking about what happened last night, and she couldn't even look at Lin Shaobai normally anymore. The more she thought about it, the more shy she became!

In the end, she buried her face in her arms and stopped looking at anyone.

Ren Min, who was standing next to him, looked completely bewildered.

"Bad younger brother"

After a long pause, Zhang Ruonan muttered three words.

Ren Min: "What did you say?"

"Oh, it's nothing." Zhang Ruonan quickly waved her hand: "I didn't say anything, you didn't hear anything."

Ren Min: "?"

Yeah, confirmed.

Zhang Ruonan is acting very strangely today; it's like she's lost her mind.

After finishing his work for the day, Lin Shaobai returned to the hotel once again.

The filming of this drama was actually quite fast; it wrapped up in just over a month.

Lin Shaobai received a call from Zhang Jingyi while he was packing his things at the hotel.

"Huh?" Lin Shaobai looked at the caller's name on his phone with some surprise.

Princesses generally don't make phone calls on their own initiative.

"Hey?"

"..."

"Hey?"

"..."

When the call connected, the other end remained silent, making it seem as if someone had poisoned their voice.

Lin Shaobai sighed irritably, "I'm talking about Zhang Jingyi."

"..."

It remained deathly silent.

Lin Shaobai: "Tsk tsk, Your Highness? Is there something you need?"

"Lin Shaobai."

Sure enough, as soon as I changed the way I addressed them, they immediately started talking.

"Zhang Jingyi, why haven't you said anything since you finished the call?"

"..."

Actually, Zhang Jingyi is just a little nervous talking to Lin Shaobai right now.

Unbeknownst to her, her feelings for Lin Shaobai had long since changed from curiosity to affection.

Since it's a guy she likes, it's normal for her to act unnaturally.

How's your reading of my notes going?

"Don't worry, I've watched them all. My learning ability is still pretty good."

"Ah."

Is that all you're asking about?

"..."

"If there's nothing else, I'll hang up now."

"Hey, wait a minute."

"what happened?"

"It's getting cold."

"Ok?"

"Don't, you'll catch a cold."

Zhang Jingyi hung up the phone after speaking, without waiting for Lin Shaobai's response.

After hanging up the phone, the princess buried her head in the blankets in her dormitory.

There are so many things I want to say, but I can't bring myself to say them because of my pride and face.

On the other end, Lin Shaobai put his phone on the sofa.

At the same time, the doorbell rang again.

"Lin Shaobai..."

After opening the door, I saw my co-star Zhang Ruonan.

Lin Shaobai: "What's wrong?"

Zhang Ruonan kept her head down, and she carefully tugged at Lin Shaobai's sleeve: "Tonight."

Lin Shaobai glanced at his sleeve but remained silent.

"Tonight, um, there's a big cockroach in my room, I'm so scared, can I sleep here?"

Lin Shaobai paused for a moment, then opened the door: "Come in."

As soon as she entered the house, Zhang Ruonan threw herself into Lin Shaobai's arms.

"I'd also like to... measure your waist with my legs... is that alright?"

And so, the night grew deeper...
