Wandering the world of film and television begins with the golden years

Guan Juer was still rubbing her legs with her head down.

She saw Li Haoyu return.

Hearing that familiar voice again, Guan Juer was clearly still reeling. She was completely stunned, as if struck by a petrifying ray, unable to utter a word, just staring blankly at Li Haoyu.

Guan Juer didn't know whether she was embarrassed or just feeling hot from the sun.

Her fair face flushed slightly.

Li Haoyu ignored her reaction and continued speaking to himself.

"I was planning to rest a bit longer, but then I remembered I had this little gadget at home, so I went to get it for you."

"There's nothing to be embarrassed about. You should know that using your hands won't be very effective. If lactic acid really builds up, you'll be in pain all day tomorrow."

"It wouldn't be good if it affected your work, and I don't think you want that either."

Guan Juer looked up at Li Haoyu in the morning light.

At that moment, he appeared exceptionally sincere and radiant.

Guan Juer actually knew that what Li Haoyu said was true; fascia guns had indeed been very popular for a while, and she often saw them on her phone.

However, she and Li Haoyu were only casual acquaintances.

Guan Juer had a good impression of Li Haoyu.

But ultimately, the two didn't have much interaction.

She felt a little embarrassed that she was suddenly using Li Haoyu's things.

Li Haoyu noticed Guan Juer's hesitant expression.

He knew that Guan Juer was already in love, but she was still a little embarrassed.

Li Haoyu also wanted to continue this back-and-forth struggle.

He shoved the fascia gun directly into Guan Juer's hand.

"Alright, there's nothing to be embarrassed about."

"You should try it right away. Mine is the top-of-the-line model with a heat therapy function. I haven't used it even once since I bought it, but it's finally coming in handy now."

Li Haoyu has already said all that.

Guan Juer thought about it and decided that accepting this kindness wasn't a big deal. She could also order afternoon tea for Li Haoyu and send it over, which would be a way of repaying the favor.

Most importantly, her leg was really sore.

Guan Juer didn't want to drag her useless leg to work tomorrow.

"Thanks."

She lowered her head and thanked them softly.

However, Li Haoyu's attention was not on this in the first place, and Guan Juer was indeed speaking too softly.

Li Haoyu asked the question directly.

"What did you say?"

Guan Juer had no choice but to repeat herself.

"Thank you for the massage gun."

This time, Li Haoyu heard it clearly.

"This is nothing to thank me for, but do you know how to use it?"

"How about I help you?"

Guan Juer heard Li Haoyu say this.

She suddenly panicked.

Guan Juer said in a flustered manner.

"No need for that, I can do it myself."

After saying that, Guan Juer hurriedly took the fascia gun from Li Haoyu's hand.

I'm really afraid of Li Haoyu taking direct action.

Li Haoyu felt quite confused, and even a little hurt.

He never did anything excessive in front of Guan Juer.

Did I not behave quite gentlemanly just now?

Why is Guan Juer so wary?

But Li Haoyu didn't think much of it.

After all, Guan Juer has always been very shy around strangers, so this behavior was within his expectations.

Li Haoyu could only watch as Guan Juer held the fascia and her fair, tender calves moved continuously.

He really didn't want to overthink things.

But that's asking too much of a question.

Guan Juer bit her lip, trying hard not to make a sound.

But when the fascia gun was being used, she tried her best to control herself but still couldn't help making tiny noises.

Li Haoyu pretended to be serious at this moment.

Guan Juer glanced at Li Haoyu and, finding nothing amiss, continued working with her head down.

She also wanted to finish as soon as possible and return the fascia gun to Li Haoyu.

Otherwise, dragging it out would be too embarrassing.

Guan Juer had been frowning for a while, but after about five minutes, she gradually got used to it and her expression relaxed.

This cycle was repeated several times.

Guan Juer then felt that the soreness had really eased up a lot.

Although she can't say she has no feeling in her calves, she can walk without any problems.

However, she saw a shadow on the ground.

Guan Juer then realized that Li Haoyu had been waiting for her all along.

So she looked up at Li Haoyu and said, "I feel like my leg is almost healed. Here, take this massage gun back."

Li Haoyu waved his hand.

"Keep this for one more day. It's the worst time for me right now. My leg pain usually starts the next morning. If you give it to me now, I might need it tomorrow. It's too much trouble to keep passing it around."

A glint flashed in Guan Juer's eyes.

She picked up the massage gun and examined it carefully. "I always thought this thing was a scam, but I didn't expect it to actually work."

Li Haoyu looked at Guan Juer for a while.

He discovered that Guan Juer was actually quite interested in this thing.

"The principle behind this product is quite simple: it uses high-frequency vibrations to stimulate tense muscles, prompting damaged areas to repair themselves more quickly, ultimately relieving muscle tension and pain."

"Mine should also have a heat therapy function. You can try it when you get home; it's quite good. It definitely works, but it's not as miraculous as the rumors online suggest."

Guan Juer nodded.

"Then I'll take it home and give it a try."

Li Haoyu smiled and said, "That's right. They say a close neighbor is worse than a distant relative. If you don't even accept this, you're being too distant."

"Besides, it's not like we've only dealt with each other once."

Guan Juer was taken aback by what Li Haoyu said.

She didn't know how to respond for a moment.

We didn't just do business together once.

There's something in that statement that seems to have a hidden meaning.

"Do you need me to help you up?"

"No need. Thanks to your massage gun, I feel much better now and can walk by myself."

"Okay, then walk slowly and watch your step."

"Oh right, I think I'm a little older than you, so I'll call you Xiao Guan. By the way, are you also from Shanghai?"

Guan Juer nodded.

"Yes, I'm a local from Shanghai."

…………

The two walked slowly.

They chatted aimlessly.

Li Haoyu suddenly felt that compared to Qu Xiaoxiao's seductive voice, this casual chatting atmosphere was actually quite nice.

There was a subtle warmth and coziness about her, but it also stirred something within Li Haoyu. He couldn't let go of a girl like this easily; he had to make his move as soon as possible.

However, he has already beaten Qu Xiaoxiao to the punch.

Then Dr. Zhao has no choice but to be on guard.

Based on Li Haoyu's previous experience, these characters in the storyline would subconsciously gravitate towards each other.

On the other hand, Guan Juer should also have a senior brother, Lin, who has been pursuing her.

Objectively speaking, Senior Brother Lin would be a good romantic partner. He is honest, considerate, and attentive, with a stable job, and is of good character and integrity.

Actually, many girls want to find a partner like this.

However, Guan Juer never gave him a chance from beginning to end.

In fact, Li Haoyu found this quite easy to understand.

That means Guan Juer is too timid.

Just like Qiu Yingying directly calls her Guan Guan, she really shut herself off. She is used to a conservative lifestyle, and longs for but is afraid to try new things.

The main reason is that her parents were too strict when she was a child, and Guan Juer herself was too obedient and never disobeyed her parents.

She has never been to an internet cafe, never been to a bar, never stayed out all night, never skipped school, and always completed all her homework on time and did everything her family asked of her.

The path of life seems to be predetermined: study hard from elementary school to university, work diligently after graduation, find someone to go on a blind date with through introductions from parents and friends, and then get married.

However, the more she followed the rules, the more of a crazy dream she harbored in her heart.

Guan Juer longs for a passionate and intense love affair.

Therefore, Guan Juer hesitated to confess her feelings to Dr. Zhao, but she became a different person after meeting Xie Tong.

She was no longer timid and hesitant, but took the initiative. She even ignored her sisters' advice and her family's opinions.

This is all because Guan Juer longs for freedom, for change, and for trying things she has never had before, just like a girl who goes into puberty very late.

.........

Seeing that she was about to leave, Li Haoyu decided to take the initiative.

"It seems you don't exercise much, that won't do. I'm planning to go cycling soon, how about we go together?"

"Want to go cycling?"

Guan Juer looked puzzled.

She hadn't expected Li Haoyu to act so impulsively.

Why did they invite her to go cycling without any prior warning?

She couldn't help but ask with a hint of curiosity, "Isn't your company busy? Doesn't cycling take a lot of time?"

Seeing that Guan Juer did not directly refuse, Li Haoyu thought that this matter might be promising.

"How come you don't even have this much time?"

"Besides, isn't the purpose of making money to live as I please? It would be ridiculous if the company couldn't survive just because of one of my cycling trips. The company isn't made of paper."

"I don't have a bicycle at home, so maybe we should just forget about it."

Guan Juer was somewhat tempted, but still hesitated.

Do you know why I love cycling?

"Even if you drive the best car, you'll still get stuck in traffic on the main roads in Shanghai."

"Cycling is a journey, and an adventure. No matter how trivial your daily life is, or how tired you are from work, when you're cycling, all your worries will be left behind."

Some amazing and incredible long-distance cycling trips can enrich and broaden your life, creating memories that are unforgettable for a lifetime!

Li Haoyu spoke with great emotion.

He also patted Guan Juer on the shoulder.

Guan Juer was also a little tempted.

She hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help asking anyway.

"So... I can manage without any cycling experience?"

"Why not? We're not going to XZ, we're just going to find a mountain road near Shanghai for a ride."

"You can always ride a bicycle, right? It's not too difficult, just keep pedaling and you'll get it."

Guan Juer nodded.

"I do know how to do that."

Li Haoyu sighed deeply, then said in a low voice, "I used to think similarly to you, until something happened that made me stop worrying about it."

Guan Juer was stunned.

Could it be that he has something on his mind?

Logically speaking, Li Haoyu is young, promising, handsome, and rich, so there shouldn't be any obstacles he can't overcome.

"If you're really unhappy about something, feel free to talk about it. It'll make you feel better. I promise I'll keep it a secret."

"It's really not a big deal, it's just that I don't have parents in this world."

"what?"

Guan Juer exclaimed in surprise.

She did suspect that Li Haoyu might have a story.

But I never expected it to be this serious.

So just now, wasn't she just being presumptuous, arrogantly rubbing salt into someone else's wounds?

Guan Juer felt so guilty that she didn't know what to say.

"I'm so sorry, I really didn't expect it to be such a serious matter."

Li Haoyu waved his hand.

"This is none of your business, and besides, you meant well. They'll definitely have a good life in the other world."

Guan Juer saw that Li Haoyu was comforting himself instead.

Her face flushed red instantly.

Guan Juer looked at him somewhat awkwardly, still unsure how to begin.

Seeing this, Li Haoyu took the initiative to help Guan Juer out of the predicament.

"You really don't need to worry about it. I wouldn't have said it if I hadn't let it go."

Guan Juer nodded.

Li Haoyu asked, "So, did you accept my invitation?"

Guan Juer was truly at her wit's end by Li Haoyu.

How can I refuse in this situation?

But what is his relationship with Li Haoyu?

Neighbor? Friend?

The most crucial issue is that she and Li Haoyu are not really familiar with each other. Although they were trapped in the elevator together last time, Guan Juer was deeply impressed by Li Haoyu's calm and humorous demeanor.

But just like that, the two of them went out alone.

Guan Juer still felt something was amiss.

After much hesitation, she decided to refuse Li Haoyu.

"I also think cycling is a great way to relieve stress, but I'll skip it this time."

Li Haoyu shook his head and said, "I know you're still a coward. You never dare to take the first step."

"I don't."

Li Haoyu pressed on, "Then why didn't you dare go?"

Guan Juer frowned.

"Didn't I just say I don't have a bicycle? I can't just buy one just for one ride. My salary doesn't support me spending so extravagantly."

"Don't worry about the vehicles and equipment. I have several vehicles that you can adjust and use. As for equipment, that's even less of a problem."

Guan Juer hesitated again.

"Now that everything is ready, if you're still hesitant, just say so. I won't force you anymore."

"What's there to be afraid of?"

Guan Juer also became a bit more irritable.

"Okay, I'll contact you once the time is set."

Guan Juer seemed about to say something more.

Later, he could only force himself to hold it in.

Li Haoyu couldn't help but feel indignant at her appearance; Guan Juer clearly lacked social experience.

She jumped right in with such a simple provocation.

She said earnestly, "I know I spoke a little too loudly just now. Is it too late to take it back?"

Li Haoyu smiled. "There's no going back. I've already registered you in the cycling group."

He wanted to prove that what he said was true.

Li Haoyu even took out his phone and showed it to Guan Juer.

However, Guan Juer soon realized something was wrong.

"You sent this message before I even agreed."

"So what's the problem?"

"I made a prediction beforehand, and it turned out I was right. Besides, if everything were so predictable, what would be the point of life?"

Guan Juer looked helpless.
