Huayu 1999: Starting with nothing but getting something for nothing

Fan Bingbing found Hua Jie's words really unpleasant, as if she were saying that she had no charm, but she didn't want to talk about it anymore, so she changed the subject.

"Let me think about it some more. Sister Hua, when I told you on the phone that I wasn't considering signing a contract at this stage, that was my honest thought, not that I was asking you for any conditions."

Wang Jinhua thought to herself: Sure enough, she's developed a rebellious attitude.

That's true. When you haven't made a decision after flipping a coin but want to flip it again, you already have the answer.

Clearly, Fan Bingbing will not break up with Yang Che.

This aligns better with her own thoughts. After all, befriending such a young man is more meaningful than befriending Fan Bingbing. Therefore, she doesn't mind offering her support. This is the entertainment industry, not the everyday life of an ordinary family.

"I know, but Bingbing, even if someone helps you plan, you still need a professional team to handle the miscellaneous tasks, like negotiating business deals and film and television resources. Your parents are on your side, but can they really understand the intricacies behind a job? You don't have to sign a formal contract right now, but you can sign an agency agreement, how about that?"

Fan Bingbing was very touched: "Sister Hua, you think so highly of me."

Sister Hua thought to herself: I think highly of you now than before.

"Yes, I like you and want to help you. On the other hand, I believe in my judgment and abilities; you're sure to become a huge star."

Fan Bingbing pursed her lips and nodded heavily: "Sister Hua, I...I will definitely give you an answer tonight or tomorrow."

Despite her thoughts, Wang Jinhua couldn't help but sigh: Your boyfriend is already two-timing you, and you still want him to make decisions...

"Of course we need to think this over carefully and talk to our family. You know how Sister Hua is, so I won't say anything more."

"Yes, I know."

After that, Fan Bingbing didn't chat anymore. She made an excuse and said goodbye. Her boyfriend was still asleep. Before leaving, she closed all the doors and windows of the house so that he wouldn't be blown by the wind.

On the taxi ride back to Courtyard No. 8, Fan Bingbing thought about all this and felt wronged again.

"Even when I was so heartbroken and angry, I still remembered to care about you."

Fan Bingbing returned to Courtyard No. 8 at 5:30. Upon reaching the third floor, she heard the sound of cards being played coming from the studio. Suddenly, she felt a surge of anger. Did they know Yang Che was two-timing? And did they even know who Yang Che was with, something she herself had no idea about?!

So instead of going into the studio to greet them, she took out the key she had brought with her and went into the next room.

I saw his clothes from today lying on the floor by the bathroom door and in the hallway.

Fan Bingbing's heart skipped a beat. He rushed to the bathroom and was relieved to see that no one was there. He could only see that the toilet seat was up, indicating that the man had gotten up to urinate. He wrinkled his nose and flushed the toilet; the smell of alcohol was still strong...

Then she went to the bedroom, and then opened her eyes wide, only to see Yang Che sprawled out in a large, uh... it was the character "太" (tài).

"Eek~"

Fan Bingbing glanced at it, then glanced at it again. At this moment, her only emotions were curiosity and disgust, nothing else.

When he realized his face was getting hot, Fan Bingbing quickly stepped forward and spread out a thin blanket on one side to cover him.

As soon as the bed was laid out, she gasped in surprise as a large hand grabbed her wrist and pulled her down onto the bed.

"Ah, hahaha, ouch, it itches."

Fan Bingbing fiddled with the hands under her arms and around her waist...

Yang Che opened his eyes, paused, and muttered, "Why did I dream about you, little girl? I can't make mistakes... um."

As he spoke, he rolled over and closed his eyes again.

Fan Bingbing's lips twitched up, feeling both sad and touched.

"I call you 'brother,' but that doesn't mean you should actually treat me like a girl."

In fact, Yang Che had already woken up and had been asleep for more than three hours. He still had this young body with an extremely fast metabolism. He had just had a sudden inspiration.

He guessed that Fan Bingbing probably already knew, because when he went to the bathroom, he saw the cabinet open...

He had no choice; he simply didn't have time to tidy up properly. There were still Yuanyuan's underwear and stockings in the closet...

While I was dressed up and pretending to be serious, I felt like I was kissed.

Then he felt her breathing become heavier on his face, and then a vein in Yang Che's forehead throbbed.

"Ah~"

Fan Bingbing gasped in surprise. She bit her lip and leaned forward again.

How should I put it?

Shy, nervous, curious, excited, satisfied, happy...

Holy crap! It can even move! Wow!

Yang Che opened his eyes and pretended to yawn.

Fan Bingbing jumped out of the blanket like a startled shrimp in the water, letting out an "Ah!" and covering her face.

"You're awake."

Yang Che let out a long sigh: "Go get me a bottle of ice water."

"You can't drink anything cold, I'll make you a cup of honey water."

Fan Bingbing responded and jumped off the bed, then stumbled and fell to the ground.

Yang Che looked at it in pain and immediately sat up: "Slow down, are you alright?"

Fan Bingbing stood up, grimacing, and shook his leg.

"no."

Five minutes later, Yang Che, now wearing only a pair of shorts, lay against the headboard, sipping honey water.

Fan Bingbing, who had just said she was going to the restroom, came back in, but stood at the door without moving.

Yang Che sighed when he saw her expression; what was bound to happen would happen.

Sure enough, Fan Bingbing stared straight at him, sniffled, and asked in a tearful voice, "Whose face mask is in the fridge?"

Yang Che looked at her calmly: "Gao Yuanyuan's."

Fan Bingbing was stunned. He just said that? Then, she cried out, "Waaah, you lied to me, you lied to me, boohoo!"

Yang Che got out of bed, grabbed her hand, and pulled her to sit on the bed despite her struggles.

"What are you going to do? Rape me?"

Yang Che was both amused and exasperated: "Is that really necessary? I'm still feeling dizzy. Can we sit for a while?"

"What do you mean? I didn't..."

"Alright, alright, what are you thinking about again? You're always like this. Listen to me."

"Aww."

Fan Bingbing instantly became obedient, then sat on the edge of the bed, and then got angry, very angry at herself for being so obedient.

"Why should I listen to you? You've wronged me so much."

She stood up defiantly after she finished speaking.

Yang Che frowned: "Do you want to hear what I have to say?"

Fan Bingbing pouted, then slowly sat down, turning her body to the side so as not to look at him.

Yang Che slowly leaned back against the headboard: "I haven't been able to explain it to you clearly because I have my reasons, like when I first told you I was thinking of finishing the movie..."

"Hmph, you're just lying to me and using me."

"What you said isn't wrong. I was using you. You don't know how much pressure I was under for this movie. You were the female lead I insisted on choosing. For you, for this film, I didn't choose Zhao Yan, I didn't use Gao Yuanyuan. The pressure from the outside in... And you, you've developed feelings for me. Could I just reject you? Would I dare?"

I don't know when it started, but Fan Bingbing's face turned deathly pale and her body was swaying.

Yang Che's words not only implied that their "love" was fake, but also greatly hurt her self-esteem.
