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

In the afternoon, Li Ran received a notification from her agent.

I passed the audition, and the script reading will be held the day after tomorrow.

In the evening, Li Ran left Zhang Jingyi's house and returned to her own apartment.

He carried various pet supplies, while Wang Churan followed behind, holding Taxue in his arms.

Wang Churan opened the door and entered the room. He squatted down, put Ta Xue down, and couldn't help but laugh: "Son, this is your home now."

Ta Xue called out to her and began to survey the room, taking in the unfamiliar surroundings.

Li Ran put everything away neatly and looked at Wang Churan: "Are you hungry?"

I'm not hungry.

She didn't even lift her eyelids, continuing to scroll through her phone with her head down. "I ate too much at your junior's house for lunch."

"Then I'll just cook some instant noodles."

Li Ran turned and went into the kitchen.

Ten minutes later, he came out carrying a large bowl.

Wang Churan glanced up casually, then her gaze froze.

The bowl contains sliced ​​beef, shrimp, and a soft-boiled egg...

Instant noodles are actually the most inconspicuous!

Her eyes widened: "This is what you call simply cooking instant noodles?"

Li Ran put down his bowl, sat down on the sofa, and said in a flat tone, "Mm."

"This is all I eat in a day!" Wang Churan stared at the bowl of noodles, swallowing hard.

"If you can't eat, feed the dog." Li Ran had already picked up his chopsticks.

Wang Churan looked down at Ta Xue, who was engrossed in studying her new water bowl, showing no interest in instant noodles.

"Leave some for me."

She quickly got up, took a bowl and chopsticks from the kitchen, sat down opposite Li Ran, and began to "grab" the food.

Li Ran looked up: "Didn't you say you weren't going to eat?"

Wang Churan picked up a shrimp, rolled her eyes knowingly, and said, "Didn't you say you were feeding it to the dog?"

Li Ran smiled, lowered his head and continued eating his noodles without replying.

What dog isn't a dog? They're all your own dogs...

After finishing his noodles, Li Ran leaned back on the sofa, scooped Ta Xue up onto his belly, and rubbed its ears casually.

The little guy felt comfortable being rubbed, so he rolled over on his back, making gurgling noises.

Wang Churan was scrolling through her phone when she suddenly shoved the screen right in front of his face: "You're trending ninth. You only posted a few dog pictures, but your popularity is terrifying."

The trending topic was prominently displayed: #LiRan'sNewPetTreadingSnow#

She looked at Taxue in Li Ran's arms and said sourly, "Your mother doesn't even deserve a name on this man's Weibo. I'm not even as good as you, my dog ​​son."

As she spoke, she scooped Taxue out of Li Ran's arms, held it in front of her, and poked its wet nose with her fingertip.

Ta Xue squinted as she was poked, but didn't flinch. She just let out a cry and licked her fingers.

In the other apartment, Zhang Jingyi nestled on the sofa, looking at the photos Li Ranfa had posted.

Two furry creatures huddled together, with Bean nudging Snowy's ears with its nose.

She looked at him for a long time, then smiled gently and picked up Douzai.

"Your friend's photo is trending on social media."

Douzai couldn't understand, but just looked at its owner with curiosity.

……

That evening, after taking a shower, Wang Churan was still drying her hair in the bathroom.

Li Ran looked at Zhou Ye's video call request, paused for a second, and then answered.

A smiling face popped up on the screen, with the bedside lamp in the hotel room as the background.

Zhou Ye leaned very close, almost touching the camera lens, his voice soft yet urgent.

"Li Ran! Quick, let me see little Ta Xue! Hurry, hurry, hurry!"

Li Ran smiled helplessly, picked Ta Xue up from beside the sofa, and held her up in front of the camera.

The little guy was suddenly lifted up, his four short legs flailing in the air twice, making confused whimpering noises.

"Ahhh, it's so small and cute!" Zhou Ye exclaimed excitedly. "Li Ran, can you bring Ta Xue to visit me on set?"

"Not recently."

Li Ran put Ta Xue back on her lap. "I'm about to start filming, we'll talk about it when I have time."

Zhou Ye pursed her lips, but quickly smiled again and began to share some of her recent interesting stories with Li Ran.

Li Ran listened, occasionally responding, his gaze falling on the familiar face on the screen.

The bathroom door opened.

Wang Churan walked out wrapped in a bathrobe, his long hair half-dry, and he was bending down to tie the belt around his waist.

Goodnight, Coconut! Get some rest.

"Okay! Goodnight, Xiao Ranzi. Remember to come visit me on set."

Li Ran nodded and hung up the call.

After seeing Li Ran hang up, Wang Churan finally asked, "Who was it?"

"Zhou Ye."

She smirked: "What, afraid of being found out you're seeing a lover?"

Li Ran ignored her and looked at the messages Tian Xiwei had sent on WeChat.

Tian Tian Xiang Shang: What's wrong with Wang Chu Ran?

He replied by typing.

The brother stopped there: He met her when he went to do a commentary last time; she came to Beijing to record a variety show.

Tian Xiwei replied quickly, with just four simple and direct words.

Did you sleep together?

Li Ran neither explained nor denied it; he simply sent a smiling emoji.

Tian Xiwei gave a cold laugh and made a request: "Come visit me on set sometime."

Brother stopped there: OK.

Wang Churan had moved closer at some point, her chin almost resting on his shoulder.

"Young Master Li, you're certainly very busy!"

Li Ran stood up, looked at her, and said, "Alright, go to sleep."

"You dog slave, tonight you'll taste whether soy milk is fishy or not..."

……

Wang Churan looked at Li Ran and mumbled, "Give me a kiss!"

Li Ran shook her head, "I won't kiss..."

Wang Churan rolled her eyes. "You should try this soy milk and see if it tastes fishy..."

……

The next morning, we ate a Beijing specialty: fermented mung bean juice with fried dough rings.

Wang Churan pulled her suitcase and arrived at the door.

She squatted down, picked up Taxue who had followed her, and said in a light voice, "Good boy, Mommy has to go out to work. I'll buy you some meat strips."

Ta Xue wagged its tail and hummed softly.

Wang Churan smiled and put it down, then looked at Li Ran.

"I'm leaving now. Call me if you miss me."

Li Ran leaned against the entrance and nodded.

Wang Churan is going to record an actor performance program on Tencent Video in a couple of days, and she went there today to familiarize herself with the process.

After she left, Li Ran sank into the sofa, and Ta Xue lay on his stomach, rising and falling with the rhythm of her breathing.

The TV was on, playing a classic South Korean romance movie.

My phone vibrated.

Li Ran picked it up and glanced at it; it was a WeChat message from Liu Haocun.

I had porridge this morning. Guess what kind? ⊙_<

He stared at the cute emoticon for two seconds, then typed a reply.

Plain congee.

Liu Haocun replied almost instantly: "No, it's every week I miss you..."

Li Ran's lips twitched slightly.

[Corny pickup lines, so corny they're practically cheesy]

[What's so tacky about it! It's just that you don't know how to appreciate it!]

Even through the screen, Li Ran could feel her bright, doe-like eyes staring at him.

He thought for a moment, then typed: "You look like a potato."

A few seconds later, Liu Haocun replied.

Not only is it rustic, it's also hilarious.

Immediately following was a voice message. Li Ran clicked on it, and her boyish voice came through the phone.

"Okay, just kidding. Um, can I come over to your place to see Ta Xue? I saw your photos on Weibo today, they're so cute!"

"Besides, we're going to have a script reading soon anyway, so why not get to know your partner beforehand?"

It was followed by a meme of a puppy tilting its head.

When Ta Xue heard the sound, she rolled over on his belly, kicked her four little white paws toward the sky, and revealed her soft, furry belly.

Li Ran took a picture of himself walking in the snow and sent it to her.

【Can. 】

After thinking about it, I shared my home address with her.
