Huayu: Starting with Rejecting 00s Actresses on a Dating Show

Chapter 113 Do you want to come in?

"You can go back now, you don't need to see me off."

After leaving Lu Yu's small house, Tan Wen's slightly unsteady gait returned to normal.

Lu Yu asked with some doubt, "You haven't had too much to drink?"

"That's my limit. If I drink any more, I really won't be able to control myself."

"Then I'll take you to your hotel."

"No need, it's too late. Just see me to my car. Oh, by the way," Tan Wen patted his pocket and took out a box, "This is a gift for Auntie. Could you pass it on for me?"

Lu Yu took it, opened it, and saw that it was a gold bracelet. The design was a bit tacky, but it was very thick.

She looked up, her eyes filled with sadness. "Tan Wen, you did a great job today, but I feel a little sorry for you."

"What's wrong?"

"We just can't go public with our relationship for the time being."

"Oh, it's alright, just remember to give me a proper status in the future."

"I'm sorry," Lu Yu said, feeling a little guilty. "How about we just..."

"The car has arrived, you can go back now."

Tan Wen interrupted her and kissed her on the forehead. "I'll pick you up tomorrow morning."

As Lu Yu watched him get into the car and leave, a deep sense of reluctance welled up in her heart.

Tan Wen got out of the car and rested by the fountain for a while. He realized that he really couldn't ride in a new energy vehicle after drinking alcohol; it made him too nauseous.

He lit a cigarette, took a puff, and felt even more dizzy. Because of the dizziness, he thought he had mistaken someone for someone else. How could Bai Lu be here?

Bai Lu could hardly believe her eyes. She assured herself that she hadn't been thinking about him day and night, but this person did indeed look a bit like Tan Wen.

"White Dew?" Tan Wen called out uncertainly.

"Tan Wen? Oh my god, it really is you." Bai Lu, wearing shorts and slippers, quickly stepped forward.

"What are you doing here?" the two asked at the same time.

Tan Wen was a little slow on the uptake and hadn't had a chance to answer when Bai Lu wrinkled her nose: "You smell strongly of alcohol. Who were you drinking with?"

"With an elder." Tan Wen didn't elaborate. "Are you here because of 'Half Wound, Half Sweet'?"

...

Bai Lu nodded and briefly explained that she had booked a long-term room here.

"Why are you going out so late?"

Bai Lu lifted the bag in her hand, and Tan Wen saw that it contained sanitary napkins.

The two fell into an awkward silence.

"Well then, goodbye." Tan Wen waved.

Bai Lu hesitated for a moment and said, "How about I chat with you? You should have some time this time, right?"

Tan Wen thought for a moment, and without rushing back to his room, he agreed.

The two sat down in the hotel lobby. Tan Wen ordered a cup of yogurt with honey, while Bai Lu ordered a cocktail.

Tan Wen did not advise her that it was best not to drink alcohol during her period.

"I think I understand you better today," Bai Lu said, taking a sip of her drink.

"How so?"

"I recently watched the first episode of 'The Actor,' and your performance was quite surprising."

"I haven't had a chance to watch it yet. I hope the production team didn't edit my footage in badly."

"I don't think you need to use malicious editing, but your behavior isn't offensive. I see that most of the comments are supportive of you."

Tan Wen rubbed his temples; this was within his expectations. "You've been living here all this time?"

"Yes." Bai Lu's heart skipped a beat. "I suggest you order a long-term plan here too. It's very convenient, and you can get reimbursed anyway."

"Reimbursement?" Tan Wen put down his yogurt. "The production company will reimburse us?"

"Yes, it's written in the contract. Isn't it in your contract?"

Tan Wen was speechless for two seconds. Since he wasn't a big enough celebrity, this kind of differential treatment wasn't really unfair.

However, Bai Lu's suggestion is definitely worth considering. Staying here with Lu Yu for a while would be quite cost-effective.

"If I need to book a room later, I'll ask you for advice."

Bai Lu's eyes lit up, and she said happily, "I've finally convinced someone to be my neighbor!"

"Oh? Who else did you tell?"

"I met a girl around noon. She said she was interviewing for the second female lead today. I wonder how it went."

At noon, the second female lead, Lu Yuxiao?

"What does she look like?"

Bai Lu clicked her tongue: "You guys' first reaction is always whether someone is good-looking or not. I thought you were the exception."

Tan Wen smiled but didn't say anything.

Bai Lu still answered his question: "She's quite pretty and has a very pure look, but I have a secret to tell you—never mind, I won't say it."

"Hey, don't leave things unsaid, what's wrong?"

Bai Lu hesitated for a moment, then said, "I suspect there's a man in that girl's room!"

Tan Wen awkwardly withdrew his curiosity. That boy was probably him. When he heard Lu Yuxiao talking at the door, he must have been talking to Bai Lu.

Lu Yuxiao didn't want others to know about this, and she certainly wouldn't reveal it herself.

"Huh? Why aren't you asking anymore?"

"What's that girl's name?"

"Let's not talk about this," Bai Lu said, pursing her lips. "Actually, I've encountered many similar things on film sets over the years."

"Come on, tell me more." Tan Wen felt he was more gossipy than before, though it was also possible he'd had too much to drink.

The two chatted for a long time, but Bai Lu did most of the talking.

It started with gossip, and later it turned into work-related matters.

The two shared their thoughts on "Half Wound, Half Sugar," with Tan Wen offering a professional analysis of the script.

Bai Lu quietly watched Tan Wen's profile. Although Tan Wen was a little drunk, he looked very serious when analyzing the script, which was quite impressive.

"Are you spacing out?" Tan Wen asked.

"Huh?" Bai Lu looked away, realizing she had been a bit out of line.

"Sorry, I accidentally got into work mode and it's getting a bit boring. Tell me about yourself."

Bai Lu enthusiastically shared some of her experiences over the years.

Tan Wen is a great listener, and I sincerely hope that she will star in many hit dramas in the future.

"Then... let's go back. See you on set next month," Tan Wen said.

"it is good."

.....

The two got into the elevator together.

Tan Wen pressed the 26th floor, and asked how many floors Bai Lu was.

Bai Lu laughed in surprise, "What a coincidence! All three of us are on the 26th floor, and that girl is on the 26th floor too."

Tan Wen couldn't laugh anymore, feeling that pressing the elevator button first was a bit hasty.

"Tan Wen," Bai Lu paused, then asked softly, "Do you have a girlfriend?"

Tan Wen nodded, then shook his head.

Bai Lu chuckled softly and didn't ask any further questions.

After exiting the elevator, Tan Wen slowed his pace and followed behind Bai Lu.

The two walked to room 2606. Bai Lu gestured with her lips, indicating that Lu Yuxiao was in this room.

Tan Wen pretended not to care and walked past calmly.

"Which room are you in? I'll take you back to your room," Tan Wen asked first, lest Bai Lu ask him.

Bai Lu was somewhat tempted by the question, and she silently walked ahead to 2619.

White Dew stopped in front of the house.

Out of politeness, Tan Wen should have greeted Bai Lu and left instead of waiting for her to open the door.

However, the two rooms are in the same corridor with no obstruction of sight, so just in case, it's best to wait until Bailu enters the room first.

Bai Lu felt a little nervous and conflicted when she saw Tan Wen waiting for her to open the door. She bit her lip, swept the door open, and went inside.

She turned around, looked at Tan Wen, and waited for him to speak.
