Huayu: Starting from retirement, sweeping across the domestic entertainment industry

The next day, the crew of "The Young Dragon" arrived.

Tian Xiwei frowned slightly as she watched Li Ran and Zhou Ye walk into the film set one after the other.

They've made up?

Yesterday she looked like the sky had fallen and she was feeling wronged and lonely, but today she's completely calm and collected. Is Zhou Ye really that resilient? Or is she not as simple as I think she is?

A deep sense of doubt and a barely perceptible wariness rose in Tian Xiwei's heart. She realized that she might have underestimated the resilience and cunning of her real girlfriend.

During a break, while Zhou Ye was preparing for filming, Tian Xiwei found Li Ran chatting with Wang Anyu and walked straight over to her.

She stopped in front of them, her gaze first falling on Wang Anyu, her tone not exactly polite: "Anyu, go wait somewhere else for a while, Li Ran and I will go over the lines alone."

Wang Anyu was engrossed in his conversation when he was interrupted, and was a little confused. He chuckled and said, "Huh? Rehearsing lines? You guys keep rehearsing, I'm not bothering you."

He was completely unaware that he had become a third wheel.

Tian Xiwei didn't reply. She simply crossed her arms, tilted her head slightly, and stared at him quietly with a calm yet intensely authoritative gaze.

Wang Anyu felt a chill run down his spine under that gaze. He was all too familiar with that expression; it was a sign that Xiaotian was running out of patience and might start lecturing him with physical reasoning at any moment.

"Ahem! Well, I suddenly remembered I have something to do!" Wang Anyu immediately changed his tune, scratching the back of his head sheepishly.

"Fine, just go. Why are you being so fierce..." she said, slinking away quickly.

Seeing that he had already walked away, Tian Xiwei unceremoniously plopped down in the empty chair next to Li Ran and went straight to the point: "Last night, did you go to coax her?"

Li Ran knew he couldn't hide it, and he didn't even try, so he nodded frankly.

However, after carefully considering his words, he added, "It wasn't exactly coaxing; she seems to have figured it out herself."

"Have you thought it through?" Tian Xiwei raised an eyebrow, her tone revealing undisguised surprise.

Based on her initial understanding of Zhou Ye, it's impossible for her to accept him so quickly!

Li Ran remained silent for a moment, not telling her exactly what Zhou Ye had said last night, but still explaining, "She wants you to leave me on your own."

Upon hearing this, Tian Xiwei was first taken aback, then scoffed, "Let me leave on my own? Where does she get her confidence?"

Li Ran chuckled awkwardly and didn't continue the topic.

He had his own plans; anyway, filming would wrap up in just a few days.

Just then, a light footstep sound came from behind.

Zhou Ye walked over with Wang Anyu. She had a smile on her face, showing no trace of yesterday's gloom. She sat down directly on the other side of Li Ran, completely ignoring Tian Xiwei.

Tian Xiwei stared at Brother Wang, her face full of confusion.

Wang Anyu trembled at the glare and said in a low voice, feeling wronged, "Why are you glaring at me again? Aren't you guys not rehearsing your lines right now?"

He felt he was completely innocent.

Did I just tell you...?

Tian Xiwei spoke slowly and deliberately, her fists clenched, "I want to be alone with Li Ran for a while?!"

Wang Anyu tried hard to recall, his expression becoming even more confused: "Did you say that?"

Tian Xiwei looked at him coldly, "Didn't I say that?"

At this moment, Zhou Ye suddenly spoke up, his voice calm: "Alright, Xiao Tian, ​​stop scaring An Yu. I asked him to bring me here to find Li Ran."

After she finished speaking, she gave Wang Anyu a reassuring smile.

Li Ran sat between the two, eyes downcast, not uttering a word.

He wisely chose to remain silent, fearing that if he spoke, he would become the fuse that ignites a new round of war.

Upon hearing this, Tian Xiwei looked at Old Wang with a faint smile, but her eyes remained fierce: "Did I bully you?"

Wang Anyu glanced at Zhou Ye, then at Tian Xiwei, his survival instincts kicking in instantly. He shook his head vigorously, "No, no! Absolutely not! Now that Coconut has found Brother Li Ran, I have something to do, so I'll be going now!"

After saying that, he slipped away even faster than last time. Even if he was slow to notice, he could sense that the atmosphere between the two women was off.

Looking at the silent standoff before him, Li Ran couldn't sit still any longer.

He cleared his throat, trying to break the silence: "If you two have something to say, then say it. If not, I'd like to go and rehearse the afternoon's scenes with Ruoyun?"

"fine."

"Go ahead."

The two women spoke almost simultaneously, their answers were unusually quick and consistent, but neither of them completely looked away from the other.

This strange tacit understanding startled Li Ran for a moment, but he was happy to get away. "Alright, you guys chat then."

He felt as if he had been granted a pardon and quickly got up to leave this place of trouble.

Judging from their current state, although the atmosphere is tense, they both seem to be restraining themselves and don't appear to be about to make a move.

When he found Zhang Ruoyun, she was whispering something to Wang Anyu.

Seeing Li Ran approach, Wang Anyu asked in confusion, "What's going on between those two? I get the feeling they're about to fight!"

Before Li Ran could reply, Zhang Ruoyun asked in surprise, "You didn't know that Tian Xiwei didn't tell you?"

"Ah! What are you saying?!"

Zhang Ruoyun looked at him like he was an idiot: "Then what were you complaining about to me about? I thought you knew the truth and bravely rushed into the line of fire! With your muddle-headedness, it's a miracle that Xiao Tian didn't beat you up today."

Wang Anyu was even more confused. "Ruoyun, I just complained about Xiaotian's behavior towards me. Was it really that big of a deal?"

Li Ran finally understood. It turned out that he had come over to complain to Zhang Ruoyun, but he still didn't know why Xiao Tian was angry.

"Then you really deserve it!" Li Ran said leisurely.

Why did you bring Zhou Ye there?! Now he has to make an excuse to leave, otherwise he might have been able to hold the little chubby hand!

Wang Anyu was even more puzzled, looking at the two of them, "What do you two know? How come I'm the only one who doesn't know?"

Zhang Ruoyun asked Li Ran with her eyes: This silly child, should we tell him?

Li Ran thought for a moment and nodded.

Wang Anyu is a nobody and a friend of Tian Xiwei. Even if he doesn't say anything now, given Tian Xiwei's personality, she will definitely tell him when she settles accounts later, and maybe in a more direct way.

It would be better to let Zhang Ruoyun educate him now, so that he doesn't die even more tragically next time in a confused state.

Zhang Ruoyun understood, put her arm around Wang Anyu's shoulder, and began her "gossip mini-lesson" in a low voice.

As Wang Anyu listened, his expression was incredibly varied, first shock, then realization, and finally bewilderment.

"Won't Oda kill me to silence me?!"

Watching from the side, Li Ran couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "Gossip and watching the excitement are indeed human nature ingrained in our bones."

This has nothing to do with gender or status. It's like seeing two dogs fighting at the village entrance and then sitting on a small stool, discussing it with great interest for a long time.

After Wang Anyu processed this astonishing information, he looked at Li Ran with a complex mix of admiration and even some sympathy in his eyes.

He leaned closer to Li Ran, lowered his voice, and exaggeratedly said, "Bro, you're really something! With Tian Xiwei's fighting power, you actually dared to..."

He didn't finish his sentence, but his eyes said it all: How dare you switch back and forth between her and Zhou Ye?

Li Ran gave a helpless twitch of his lips.

It looks like Wang Anyu is in for a beating today; that mouth of hers is really sharp!
