Wandering the world of film and television begins with the golden years
Chapter 689 Restricted Performance
Andy quickly shook his head.
She dismissed the terrible thought and said calmly, "Your behavior without other people's consent is completely inefficient and even counterproductive."
Li Haoyu, however, disagreed.
"You're right. I've been taught since I was a child to respect women's opinions."
"Then why are you still doing it?"
Andy asked with a surprised look.
Li Haoyu smiled and said, "Haven't you heard the saying, 'Men are all big pigs'? I'm no exception in that respect."
"Besides, there's no such thing as a man who listens to a woman without any ulterior motive. Before marriage, listening to a woman is either to achieve illicit desires or to manipulate her into falling in love with him."
"Do you want me to use psychological manipulation on you, or should I just sexually assault you?"
Andy was speechless, choked by Li Haoyu's words.
This was the first time she had ever heard such a scoundrel's logic.
"Shameless."
At this moment, Andy no longer cared about Li Haoyu's status as his boss.
She immediately started cursing.
Li Haoyu acted as if he hadn't heard at all.
He countered Andy's question, "What kind of music do you want to hear? This car is a bit pricey, but the sound system is absolutely top-notch. It's like listening to a live concert. Don't you want to give it a try?"
Andy turned his head away and remained silent.
Li Haoyu didn't care.
He turned on the monitor and slowly started selecting songs.
Anyway, the car is so well soundproofed that even if Andy screams his lungs out, no one outside can hear him.
The car has already started moving; if she wants to leave, she'll have to open the door and jump out.
However, given Andy's rational personality...
Unless you push her to her limit, she definitely won't do anything that outrageous.
However, Li Haoyu crossed out several songs in a row, but didn't find any that he liked.
He simply turned off the stereo.
"These are all too cliché, I'll just sing them for you directly."
Andy still didn't respond, but silently picked up a magazine from the car and started reading it.
She even deliberately placed the magazine between the two of them.
His disdain was palpable.
Li Haoyu didn't care.
"I love you not just because of your beauty; I love you more and more. Every glance touches my heart. I am the one who loves you the most, otherwise, how could you make me do anything for you, how could I go through fire and water for you..."
Li Haoyu really likes this song, "King of Love Songs".
Although many people think it's just a simple compilation of lyrics.
But Li Haoyu really likes this song.
Li Haoyu wasn't saying that the song's melody was particularly good, or that it had any advantages that other songs couldn't replace.
Instead, Li Haoyu happened to be heartbroken when he listened to this song.
It was my first love.
Therefore, this song is of great significance to him.
So much so that just thinking about it makes my heart soften and my eyes well up with tears.
This perfectly aligns with a popular saying online: "The 'white moonlight' problem—even if she herself were here, it wouldn't work. She only exists in the filter."
This is also true of the King of Love Songs.
Li Haoyu started singing as if no one else was around, as if Andy next to him was invisible.
Andy was very angry about his careless and indifferent attitude.
She secretly pricked up her ears, wanting to see what gave Li Haoyu such confidence.
But when Andy heard this...
She really listened to him.
Because Li Haoyu's voice is really magnetic, and his technique is also very good.
Most importantly, there's a lot of affection involved.
She initially listened with a critical attitude.
Later I found out it actually sounded pretty good.
More importantly, the lyrics are quite interesting.
At first, Andy thought the lyrics were incoherent.
Later, Andy felt that the song had made love clear.
Ambiguous feelings, unrequited love, passionate love, unrequited love, angst… palpitations, entanglement, joy, happiness, emotion, exhaustion, confusion, grievance, sadness, heartbreak…
It made her even a little tempted to fall in love.
"The beginning is always wonderful, every minute is magical. Everyone thinks the passion will never fade..."
However, Li Haoyu stopped singing suddenly after a short while.
Andy couldn't hold back any longer.
"You clearly didn't finish your song, why don't you continue?"
"I forgot the rest, and I don't want to disturb your reading if I mention it again."
"If you don't want to sing, then don't sing. Don't make up so many excuses. Is it fake or not?"
"Haha, no wonder they say women have a sharp tongue but a soft heart, you're really quite amusing."
Li Haoyu glanced at Andy and couldn't help but laugh out loud.
It can make a strong woman like Andy suffer a setback.
It's really a very happy thing.
Especially the way Andy dislikes himself but can't get rid of him.
The sense of accomplishment is overwhelming!
"You really think you've got me figured out?"
Andy put down the magazine he was reading.
She no longer avoided looking at Andy with a cold gaze.
Li Haoyu also stopped smiling.
He looked into Andy's eyes: "Of course not, I just think you need a little something different."
Andy chuckled: "The 'different color' you're referring to, you don't mean dating, do you? Besides, someone like me isn't exactly popular in relationships."
"I have some idea of what some people in the company are saying about me behind my back, but I don't care."
Li Haoyu nodded: "So you also know about your cold-blooded female demon, your devilish robot, and..."
Andy quickly reached out to interrupt Li Haoyu.
"I don't care, but you didn't have to go into so much detail. These kinds of things still affect my mood."
"But I'm already in this state, and you still want to provoke me? Aren't you afraid of getting scolded along with me?"
Li Haoyu stopped grinning.
He said softly, "You can't entirely blame them. Good-looking people are always surrounded by gossip. Plus, your work ability is so strong, it's easy for people to be jealous."
"Those who run fast naturally hear only the sound of the wind."
"Being so outstanding naturally makes you more likely to attract attention. Your every word and action will be scrutinized excessively, and there will be more disapproving voices."
"Furthermore, your excellence inevitably poses a certain threat and pressure to others, causing them to engage in habitual defensive activities and activate their immune systems."
"Criticizing your excellence has become a defensive and immunizing activity. After all, they wouldn't dare say anything bad about you to your face, so they can only rage in this impotent way."
"But don't feel too wronged. It's annoying for ordinary people to have even one of these traits. But you're so outstanding that you have both. So these things are unavoidable."
"But I believe you'll be fine. As for your worry about no one pursuing you, that's a joke."
"No matter how strong a woman is in this world, there are men who are willing to fall for her, because pursuing women is one of a man's duties."
"If you think a man is afraid to pursue you just because you're too outstanding, then I think you're overthinking it."
Andy listened quietly the whole time.
She listened very attentively at first.
But Andy couldn't hold back when he heard what came next.
Li Haoyu's way of praising others is indeed quite unique.
Even she couldn't hold back anymore.
What kind of man is this?
Andy felt a deep sense of helplessness.
"Don't just stand there, we've arrived."
Andy glanced out the car window.
It turned out to be a karaoke bar.
"You went through all that trouble, making it all so mysterious, just to bring me to a karaoke bar?"
Li Haoyu nodded.
"What's wrong? You don't like karaoke? I know you're a fairy from heaven, but you have to come down to earth sometimes."
Andy got goosebumps just listening to this.
She quickly interrupted Li Haoyu: "Alright, if you don't want me to turn around and leave, then don't say anything more today."
Li Haoyu smiled and said, "Okay, then the deal is done. In exchange, you won't have to say anything about the rest of the trip."
Li Haoyu specially got out of the car and opened the passenger door for Andy.
He even reached out his hand.
Andy hesitated for a moment, intending to push Li Haoyu's hand away.
However, Li Haoyu's hand was as firm as a statue and he couldn't push it away.
Andy had no choice but to put his hand on it.
"I'm going to the convenience store to buy some snacks. You go to the karaoke bar and wait for me."
Andy was completely confused.
Li Haoyu smiled. "Is that so strange?"
"Don't you ever offer snacks while you're singing?"
Andy shook his head. "There's nothing strange about eating, but these are all available at KTVs, so why go to a convenience store to buy them?"
Li Haoyu said, "It's not that I can't afford it at KTV, it's just that it's more cost-effective to buy it in a retail store."
Do you think my head is particularly big?
Andy couldn't understand what Li Haoyu meant by saying that.
Li Haoyu noticed Andy's puzzled expression.
He knew Andy hadn't understood the lame joke.
"What I mean is, I'm not a sucker, but that's not the point. Since you're so interested, let's go buy some snacks together."
After saying that, Li Haoyu took Andy's hand and led her to the retail store next door.
Without any hesitation, he took a bag of sunflower seeds and some duck parts, then said to Andy beside him, "You can pick whatever you want, don't try to save me money, I'm paying this time."
Andy didn't hold back and actually started picking and choosing from the shelves.
Li Haoyu said, "You don't need to save me money by buying more; we might need to eat more at night, not just at the karaoke bar."
Andy didn't catch Li Haoyu's underlying message.
However, Andy wasn't particularly fond of snacks.
In the end, I only bought a box of chewing gum as a symbolic gesture.
That's really quite perfunctory.
It's only because Li Haoyu doesn't mind these things; if it were another leader, they might have directly made things difficult for him behind his back. Andy, being someone who studied abroad, still lacks a Chinese-style education.
Otherwise, no matter how capable she is, she will suffer a great loss sooner or later.
………
"After courage, one must use perseverance to break the shackles of fate."
After Li Haoyu arrived at the karaoke bar...
I felt completely relaxed.
The way he sang with such fervor completely baffled Andy.
She wanted to speak, but hesitated several times before stopping herself.
"Don't be stunned. This was all a setup for you. Do you expect me to perform a one-man show?"
Li Haoyu shoved the microphone in his hand into Andy's hand.
The lights in the karaoke room were dim.
Colorful lights shone on Li Haoyu, and more importantly, he had already taken off his shirt, leaving only a white undershirt underneath. This further accentuated his good physique.
Andy had to admit it.
Li Haoyu's physique is indeed enviable.
She had to look away to avoid being noticed by Li Haoyu.
Andy took a sip of her drink, but remained silent.
Li Haoyu asked, "Don't you hate singing?"
As the ancients said, "Words cannot fully express it, so let us sing!"
"Singing is like creating a confessional for yourself. Not only can you vent your emotions, but you also don't have to worry about your secrets being discovered."
"This is like giving your brain a spa treatment; it will completely relax your mind. Sing a song when you're happy! Sing a song when you're sad too!"
"So, aren't you going to sing one?"
Andy finally couldn't help but speak up: "My situation is different from yours. I don't need to relieve stress in such a superficial way."
"When I was a child in China, I was just struggling to survive. It was only after I went abroad and received a scholarship that I had a little bit of rest."
Li Haoyu nodded. "I understand that it's lonely at the top. I went through the same hardships when I first started Snail Games. We both have difficult pasts."
"Even if you want to comfort a girl, you don't actually reach out your hand, am I right, boss?"
Li Haoyu was suddenly taken down by Andy.
Li Haoyu had no choice but to pull his hand back.
However, he also plans to give up now, since there's still plenty of time.
However, to Li Haoyu's surprise.
Andy actually took the microphone from his hand.
"However... since you've gone to so much trouble, I'll show you my skills too. I'm quite the karaoke enthusiast."
Li Haoyu was taken aback at first, then listened quietly.
However, Andy did exaggerate this time.
While she wasn't exactly tone-deaf, her singing was certainly mediocre.
This made it impossible for Li Haoyu to continue.
The two sang for over an hour before leaving early.
"You can just tell me if I sing badly."
Andy, who had been stared at by Li Haoyu for a long time, said something without even looking up.
"I've already said it, wasn't it obvious enough that I was frowning the whole time?"
"Why are you being so tactful now? Is it to save face for me?"
"Otherwise, if I didn't want to pursue you, I definitely wouldn't have put up with this."
Andy said with a surprised look.
"ha?"
"Was I not direct enough? Or was I not obvious enough today?"
Andy looked at Li Haoyu in disbelief.
Li Haoyu could only repeat it again.
"Isn't it clear enough that I want to pursue you?"
"How about I give you some time, and you give me a direct answer?"
Andy paused, unsure of what to say next.
She racked her brains to come up with a reason: "I'm currently dealing with the listing of Snail Games, and I simply don't have time to think about this kind of thing."
"Oh, then we'll talk about it later. Let's take a walk first."
Li Haoyu wasn't in a hurry.
"Is that all?" Andy actually asked in return.
Li Haoyu glanced at Andy.
"Isn't just confessing your feelings enough? If you want to take it a step further, I wouldn't recommend doing a restricted-content role once."
Andy was startled by Li Haoyu's words.
She said, somewhat startled, "Then forget it, I'm not worthy of it."
Li Haoyu opened a can of the remaining beer from the karaoke bar and drank it all in one gulp: "I said I wouldn't talk, but you insisted I talk. And now you're not satisfied with what I've said. I really have to drown my sorrows in alcohol."
"That's none of my business."
Andy left immediately.
Not to be outdone, Li Haoyu chased after him.
