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

The two returned to the hotel close to midnight.

Zhou Ye's cheeks flushed slightly. As soon as he entered the room, he gently nudged Li Ran and urged, "Go take a shower! Don't peek!"

Seeing the sly glint in her eyes, Li Ran knew she was preparing the surprise she was about to tell.

He didn't ask any questions, just gave her a light kiss on the forehead, and then went into the bathroom.

The warm water washed away the fatigue from filming.

When Li Ran came out of the bathroom drying her hair, Zhou Ye had already changed his clothes.

She wasn't wearing ordinary pajamas, but rather the "pool party" outfit from the game Caitlyn.

The cool and playful blue and white two-piece swimsuit outlines the girl's youthful and energetic figure. She wears decorative wristbands on her arms and even has a plastic replica water gun attached to her waist.

She tilted her head slightly, her long hair loosely draped over her shoulders, her eyes bright, and a playful smile on her lips, just like the character she was playing.

Upon seeing Li Ran emerge, she immediately raised her arm, extended her index finger and thumb, and made a "gun" gesture, aiming it at him.

"We've got you! You heinous criminal!"

Looking at her outfit, Li Ran saw both the character's dashing spirit and her own charming naivety, creating a unique allure that belonged only to this moment.

Li Ran paused in the act of drying her hair, casually draping the towel over her shoulder.

He gave a playful smile.

"Well then, the show begins."

"Should we give you a 'headshot' warning first...?"

"No one can escape my 'precise shooting'!"

……

As they spoke, Li Ran began to teach Zhou Ye how to operate the equipment.

This might be her first time playing the game Caitlin.

I'm not very familiar with the technique yet, and after fiddling around for a long time, I still couldn't complete the passive trigger condition.

She tried to adopt a more standard stance, her finger on the trigger, her brow slightly furrowed, and she mimicked the sound of firing a gun: "Piu! Piu!"

But something seemed to be missing, or the ammunition failed to be loaded. After fiddling with it for a while, the symbolic bullet still failed to achieve the headshot effect.

She was getting a little anxious, and a cute look of annoyance and confusion appeared on her face, a stark contrast to the imposing demeanor she had just displayed.

Seeing her flustered state, Li Ran finally couldn't help but chuckle softly.

Zhou Ye looked up at him and rolled her eyes in a charming way.

Li Ran gently ruffled her hair and said softly, "You need to ask me a question."

Zhou Ye asked, "So how exactly do we play...?"

Under Li Ran's careful guidance, she quickly grasped the key points of the operation and successfully completed the headshot.

Li Ran reminded her, "After entering the bush, Caitlyn's passive effect will stack twice..."

Zhou Ye grumbled in dissatisfaction, "Why didn't you say so earlier..."

"Now... let's hurry up and try going into the grass."

Sure enough, after entering the grass, the second headshot effect was triggered very quickly.

The voice suddenly rose in pitch...

It seems that the headshot damage from this bullet was quite significant.

Zhou Ye got tired of playing and nestled in Li Ran's arms, entering the intermission phase.

Li Ran then picked up the mouse and started playing with it.

"Small...but still cute!"

"Stitch has Caitlin...is that fun?"

Li Ran continued what he was doing, "How should I put it? The feel of the controls is different, but they're both pretty fun."

As he spoke, he started scrolling the wheel, and it turned out surprisingly easy.

Zhou Ye lightly punched him...

"You're insane!"

After the break, the two went on to have a series of solo matches, and Zhou Ye was ultimately defeated.

Li Ran's operations were clearly more skillful and sharp, and the arsenal was well-stocked with ammunition.

Even though I just killed a tiger, it's still easy to pry open a coconut and drink some coconut juice.

The following afternoon.

Li Ran specially asked Director Mao for half a day off and personally drove Zhou Ye and Hu Lianxin to the airport.

The feather necklace around Zhou Ye's neck was faintly visible at her neckline. She had a sweet smile and radiated a sense of satisfaction.

She stood on tiptoe, wrapped her arms around Li Ran's neck without any hesitation, and gave him a loud kiss on the cheek.

"I'm leaving now! Don't overwork yourself while filming, and remember to think of me! Come visit me on set when you have time!"

She then leaned close to his ear and quickly added in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

"And... the 'commander' was very satisfied last night!"

Hu Lianxin stood quietly a step away, a smile on her face, her eyes filled with an unspoken tenderness and affection as she looked at Li Ran.

She waved gently: "Ran-ge, we're leaving. Take care."

Li Ran nodded to them and watched the two girls walk hand in hand, chatting and laughing, towards the security checkpoint, their figures gradually blending into the crowd.

Clearly, both Zhou Ye's grand surprise and sweet evening, and Hu Lianxin's secret tenderness, made them very satisfied with this set visit.

After seeing them off, Li Ran immediately returned to the film crew and threw herself back into the intense and intensive reshooting work.

It wasn't until he finished work that evening and returned to his hotel room that Li Ran saw a completely different scene when he opened the door.

Tian Xiwei was sprawled out on his large bed, taking up most of the space, holding her phone in her hand, her face expressionless.

She was wearing a loose-fitting loungewear T-shirt and shorts, looking completely at ease as if she were at home.

She didn't even lift her eyelids when she heard the door open.

Li Ran closed the door, took off his coat and hung it up, walked to the bedside, looked down at her, and raised an eyebrow: "What? You've come here tonight. Planning to serve me in bed?"

Tian Xiwei glanced at him, her voice icy: "What, Young Master Li, haven't you had enough sleep yet? You chose one yesterday, and now you want to choose another?"

"Does he really think he's the emperor?"

He sat down on the edge of the bed and reached out to grasp her exposed ankle.

Her skin was slightly cool and had a delicate feel.

Li Ran gently stroked the ankle bone with his fingers, his tone low: "You delivered yourself to my door today; I didn't give you any 'chosen' orders. What do you call this?"

"Offering yourself as a bedmate?"

"Li Ran! Go to hell!"

Tian Xiwei was startled by his actions and words, and kicked him in the back with her other foot without hesitation, with considerable force.

Li Ran was prepared, and taking advantage of the force of her kick, he simply pounced on the bed next to her.

He even rolled half a circle, turning himself onto his side, facing her, propping his head up, and grinning mischievously.

"So angry? Who offended our hero Tian?"

Tian Xiwei withdrew her foot, sat up, crossed her arms, and glared at him: "Stop pretending! I know perfectly well!"

"Xiao Chen's lie about the spare room key only fooled that naive Zhou Ye!"

Li Ran remained calm: "Oh? What results did Detective Tian find out?"

"Hu, Lian, Xin".

Tian Xiwei spoke slowly and deliberately, staring intently into his eyes, not missing a single subtle change in his expression.

"You dare say no?"

Li Ran stared at her for a few seconds, then suddenly smiled.

"So what if it is?"

His straightforward admission caught Tian Xiwei off guard.

She gritted her teeth and said resentfully, "I can't do anything with you! But if Zhou Ye knew that her best friend was cheating on her with her boyfriend..."

"If you want to say it, then say it."

Li Ran interrupted her, his tone calm and even.

"Let's see if Coconut believes you or her best friend."

"you!……"
