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

Hu Lianxin stepped aside, and Li Ran slipped into the room, closing the door behind him.

He shook the convenience store plastic bag in his hand, his tone tinged with self-deprecation: "Don't even mention it. I was forced to flee by two 'female warriors,' and I just ran out in a moment of impulsiveness."

"I wanted to go back just now, but I realized I left my room key and phone inside. I was turned away."

He placed the plastic bag on the small coffee table; inside was a bottle of beverage and a few simple snacks.

Hu Lianxin chuckled softly, covering her mouth as she listened to his amusing remark. Then, recalling the earlier incident, she said with a hint of doubt, "No wonder..."

"Just now, Coconut and that big-eyed Stitch... oh, I mean Tian Xiwei, suddenly came to my place and searched for you inside and out, as if they were certain you were hiding here."

"I thought... they had figured out something about what was going on between us."

"Stitch?" Li Ran was taken aback, then realized what he meant and couldn't help but chuckle.

"That metaphor... is quite apt."

"But what do we have that we're afraid of being found out?" He looked at Hu Lianxin with a playful gaze.

Hu Lianxin's cheeks flushed slightly. She lowered her eyes and spoke softly, "It's just... it's just that during the day on set, Tian Xiwei suddenly asked me if I liked you."

"Her eyes... it was as if she really sensed something, which startled me."

Li Ran walked over and naturally reached out to ruffle her hair, his gesture intimate: "Don't overthink it. She's just a loud and boisterous person. She might just be trying to trick you."

He paused, his tone becoming somewhat ambiguous, "Besides... even if I did find out, so what?"

Hu Lianxin's ears felt hot from his rubbing, and her heart started racing uncontrollably again.

She sensed the implication in Li Ran's words, raised her watery eyes to look at him, then quickly looked away, her voice barely audible.

"Then... what are you going to do tonight? How about... you stay here with me..."

Li Ran's smile deepened. The little white fox was so sensible, not making a fuss and even stroking his fur.

He moved closer and could almost smell the faint fragrance of her body after her bath.

"Okay," he readily agreed, his gaze sweeping over her flushed cheeks and slightly open neckline.

"But... I just walked around outside and I'm a little sweaty. I want to take a shower first. I'm all dusty, so I don't want to get your bed dirty."

"Yes, there are clean towels in the bathroom that you can use." Hu Lianxin nodded.

"It's no fun washing alone," Li Ran suddenly reached out and put his arm around her slender waist, pulling her towards him with a slight pull. He lowered his head and whispered in her ear with a seductive smile.

"Didn't someone already wash it? Perfect... let me be the quality inspector and see if I'm clean enough?"

The warm, moist breath brushed against her earlobe, and Hu Lianxin's body instantly went limp. Her face flushed even more, and she symbolically pushed him away gently, saying, "No...no way..."

The protest was invalid.

Li Ran was already half-carrying and half-embracing her, moving her towards the bathroom.

"Ah... slow down..."

The bathroom door was opened and closed, and soon the sound of running water could be heard from inside, along with some indistinct whispers and soft laughter that were masked by the sound of water.

"Stop...stop rubbing, my skin is getting red..."

"The red dot looks good."

"I need to check carefully to see if there's anything that's not clean enough... that will be better later..."

"Ugh...be gentle..."

The sound of water stopped at some point.

A moment later, the bathroom door opened again, and billowing steam rushed out first.

Li Ran wrapped Hu Lianxin in a large bath towel and carried her out horizontally.

The girl nestled in his arms, her bare skin glowing pink from the steam, her long hair clinging wetly to her neck, tiny water droplets clinging to her eyelashes, her eyes glazed over, too shy to look at him.

Li Ran carefully placed her on the soft bed, then lay down himself, propping his head up on his side, his gaze lingering on her.

More than the sweet and direct taste of coconut juice, he was now curious to discover whether this seemingly docile little white fox harbored an unexpected and even more captivating charm.

His gaze inadvertently swept over her legs, which were pressed together and slightly bent, their lines beautiful and supple.

A slight thought crossed his mind, and he gently ran his fingers along her calf.

"I remember... you seem to have a background in dance?" he asked, his voice low and husky.

Hu Lianxin gave a soft "Mmm," her eyelashes fluttering slightly: "I learned it when I was little, and later... I continued to practice at the dance studio..."

"So...soft..."

Her voice still carried the slight panting of passion.

"Softness..." Li Ran repeated in a low voice, a dark current surging in his eyes, and a wicked smile curling at the corner of his mouth.

"So... does that mean we can unlock some... um, rather interesting... actions?"

Hu Lianxin understood the deeper meaning in his words, her face burning hot, her eyes filled with shyness and timidity...

She didn't say anything, but her body unconsciously softened a little more.

"However..." Li Ran leaned down and kissed her shoulder, his breath hot, "Let's leave it for tonight. There will be plenty of time to study it slowly in the future."

"Besides... you don't have work tomorrow, but I still have filming to do."

His thoughtfulness earned Hu Lianxin's deeper affection, and she took the initiative to reach out and wrap her arms around his neck.

……

That night, Li Ran had a strange dream...

He disguised himself as a zookeeper, carrying a chicken, and went to Tiger Mountain to feed a white tiger...

The white tiger's teeth are really sharp! It was about to bite Li Ran's chicken in one go...

Well, how should I put it! It's actually quite refreshing~

Li Ran watched the white tiger eat, its movements, opening and closing, were incredibly beautiful.

He tossed a bigger chicken to the White Tiger, but Li Ran threw it too far this time.

The white tiger leaped up and caught him steadily, liquid trickling down his chin...

The white tiger, perhaps having eaten its fill, was panting heavily, its limbs limp...

Seeing this, Li Ran leaped up and landed behind the white tiger...

In the dimly lit room, Hu Lianxin was exhausted, her limbs limp and powerless...

As the intensity gradually subsided, it eventually turned into gentle ripples.

Hu Lianxin was as if all her strength had been drained away, lying limply on the messy bed. Her smooth back rose and fell slightly with her breath, her skin glowed with an alluring sheen, and a few strands of wet hair clung to her neck.

She was so tired that she didn't even want to move her fingers. Satisfaction and exhaustion intertwined, and her consciousness fluctuated between clarity and haziness.

At this moment, Li Ran admired the scene before him, the thrilling subjugation process still fresh in his mind.

In ancient times there was the tiger-slaying hero Wu Song, and now there is Li Ran...

At five o'clock the next morning, Li Ran took Xiao Hu's phone and called his assistant, asking him to bring a spare room key.

Back in his room, he took a thorough shower to mask the lingering scent of his fight with the tiger from the previous night…

Li Ran felt refreshed after taking a shower.

After last night's intense tiger-slaying scene, the fatigue from the past few days of non-stop filming has completely vanished...

Li Ran was eating the breakfast his assistant had bought when the door was suddenly swung open, and he looked up.

Zhou Ye strode in and looked at Li Ran with a puzzled expression.

Where did you go last night?
