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

Liu Haocun leaned on his shoulder, gazing at the dark blue sea in the distance, and remained silent for a long time.

Then she spoke softly, her voice carried slightly by the sea breeze: "Li Ran, can you stay with only me?"

Li Ran turned his head and stared at her.

Under the moonlight, her profile was outlined with soft contours, and her doe-like eyes gazed into the distance, their emotions unreadable.

"That might not work," he said.

Liu Haocun didn't look at him.

After a few seconds of silence, she suddenly reached out and gently pushed him.

The force was very light; it was more like a playful gesture than a push.

"Can't you just lie to me?" she pouted, her tone a mix of dissatisfaction and grievance.

Li Ran smiled. "Why would I lie to you?"

He paused, looking into her eyes: "Are you willing to leave me now? If you are, then pretend I didn't say anything."

Liu Haocun turned his head and glared at him. "Li Ran, you're so narcissistic."

"I'm starting to dislike you a little now."

Li Ran didn't say anything, but simply reached out and gently pulled her into his arms.

Liu Haocun did not struggle, but simply leaned against his chest, listening to his heartbeat.

"Get to know a person clearly before talking about liking them."

Li Ran slowly said, "Liking someone isn't about demanding they change for you, but about accepting everything about them."

Liu Haocun looked up at him: "Are you making excuses for yourself?"

Li Ran looked down at her, a slight smile playing on his lips: "Didn't you tell me to lie to you?"

Liu Haocun paused for a moment, then burst out laughing.

She reached out and exaggeratedly covered her chest, "Ouch! Hahaha... You fooled me!"

"You completely fooled me!"

Li Ran couldn't help but laugh when he saw her acting like a complete drama queen.

The two stayed on the beach for a while longer.

The moonlight moved slowly, and the sound of the waves continued gently.

Li Ran stood up and brushed the sand off his clothes: "Let's go, it's time to go back."

Liu Haocun stood up, but suddenly stood still.

She looked at him, her eyes sparkling, "I'm tired, carry me on your back."

Li Ran smiled and squatted down.

Liu Haocun immediately leaned over, wrapped his arms around his neck, and rested his chin on his shoulder.

"Li Ran, run faster!"

Li Ran carried her on his back as they walked along the beach, his pace neither fast nor slow.

Liu Haocun leaned close to his ear and whispered, "Li Ran, love me well, okay?"

Li Ran continued walking and replied, "Okay!"

Liu Haocun buried her face in the crook of his neck and said in a muffled voice, "Say you love me."

Li Ran smiled.

"Yes, I love you."

……

Two days later, filming for "A Little Red Flower for You" officially wrapped up.

When the last scene was filmed and Director Han shouted "Filming wrapped," the entire crew erupted in cheers.

The staff applauded and cheered, some opened champagne, and some hugged each other.

The wrap party was held at a seafood restaurant in the city center, and the crew booked the entire second floor.

The long table was laden with Qingdao's signature seafood: spicy stir-fried clams, steamed sea bass, braised prawns, and sea cucumber with scallions, along with cases of Qingdao beer.

Li Ran's body, enhanced by the system, is now immune to the effects of beer.

Liu Haocun is different.

As a girl from Northeast China, she clearly had an inexplicable confidence in her alcohol tolerance.

At first, he was quite reserved, but after a few bottles of beer, he completely let loose.

She grabbed Li Ran's arm and insisted on playing rock-paper-scissors with him. If she lost, she would hug his neck and act coquettishly. If she won, she would raise her wine glass and laugh heartily.

Zhu Yuan watched from the side, shaking her head with a smile: "This child can't hold his liquor but still tries to show off."

Xin Baiqing chimed in, "Young people, that's normal. Back in our day, we..."

"Stop."

Zhu Yuan glared at him, "You're reminiscing about Zhou Yu again."

Xia Yu brought over a wine glass and, seeing Liu Haocun's expression, teased her, "Little Liu, want another drink? A girl from Northeast China can't back down."

Liu Haocun immediately looked up, his eyes sparkling: "Coming is coming!"

Li Ran pressed down on her wine glass, looking helplessly at Xia Yu: "Brother Yu, stop teasing her."

Xia Yu laughed heartily and patted him on the shoulder: "Alright, alright, the wife-protecting maniac is online."

Upon hearing the words "protecting his wife," Liu Haocun's face flushed slightly, but the corners of his mouth curved into a smile.

By the time the banquet ended, Liu Haocun was completely drunk.

She walked unsteadily, clinging to Li Ran. She was muttering something unintelligible.

Seeing this, Director Han waved to Li Ran, "Take her home and get some rest."

Li Ran nodded, picked up Liu Haocun, and walked towards the hotel.

The others watched the two figures disappear into the distance and exchanged knowing glances.

Everyone knows what's going on between these two.

There were only the two of them in the elevator.

Liu Haocun lay on his back, burying his face in the crook of his neck, his breath warm and long.

The elevator numbers ticked away when her voice suddenly broke the silence, muffled: "Li Ran..."

"Um?"

"Will you... not want me anymore?"

Li Ran was stunned for a moment.

He turned his head to see her expression, but could only see her drooping eyelashes and flushed cheeks.

"No," he said.

Liu Haocun gave a soft "hmm" and then fell silent.

Back in her room, Li Ran put her on the bed and poured her a glass of warm water.

Liu Haocun leaned against the headboard, took the water glass, and sipped it slowly. The warm water made her a little more awake, but her eyes were still somewhat unfocused.

She finished drinking the water, handed the cup to him, and then looked at him.

"Li Ran," she said softly, "let's go to sleep, I'm so sleepy."

Li Ran smiled, went to the bathroom to wring out a hot towel, and came back to wipe her face.

"Okay, let me wipe your face first."

Liu Haocun obediently tilted his head back and let him wipe him.

The warmth of the towel made her cheeks even redder, and she looked like a lazy kitten.

After wiping her face, she suddenly reached out, grabbed his collar, and pulled him closer to her.

She tilted her head up, looked at him, her eyes sparkling: "Okay, come on, let your sister give you a kiss."

Li Ran lowered his head and gently kissed her lips.

Liu Haocun chuckled sheepishly, reaching up to touch his lips: "Your lips are so sweet..."

Then she started taking off her clothes.

Her movements were completely haphazard; she tore her T-shirt into a mess, all the while staring at him and saying, "What are you looking at? Hurry up and take yours off too!"

Li Ran looked at her and didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

He knew she was not in her right mind; the alcohol had completely broken down her rational defenses.

"Don't rush... just go to sleep."

Liu Haocun pouted in dissatisfaction, but still obediently lay down.

Li Ran lay down beside her and reached out to pull her into his arms.

There was silence for a few seconds.

Then her little hands started to get restless.

She first touched his face, then pinched his nose, and then moved down to pat his chest and pinch his waist.

"Oh," she suddenly laughed, "pretty perky ass, could it hold a can of cola?"

Li Ran: "..."

He took a deep breath and grabbed her wandering hand: "Go to sleep quietly, or you'll be sorry."

Liu Haocun sensed something, paused for a moment, then chuckled: "Then you do it."

Her hands started to wander again.

……

Four o'clock in the morning.

Liu Haocun opened his eyes groggily.

A sliver of light shone through the curtains, making the room dimly lit.

She blinked, gradually making out everything before her: Li Ran's face so close to hers, his steady breathing, and the way he held her in his arms.

Memories from last night flooded my mind like fragments.

She looked down at herself; her clothes were still there, perfectly fine.

She looked at him again; he was also dressed.

She breathed a soft sigh of relief, but her face couldn't help but turn red.

She looked at his peaceful sleeping face, his long eyelashes, his slightly pursed lips, and he looked much gentler than usual.

She suddenly leaned over and gently kissed him on the lips.

Like a dragonfly skimming the water, it touches the surface and then immediately departs.

But just as she was about to step back, she met a pair of open eyes.

Li Ran looked at her, her eyes still a little sleepy, but the corners of her mouth had already curved into a smile: "Awake?"

Liu Haocun was stunned for a moment, then his face turned red.

"Um……"

Li Ran didn't say anything, he just looked at her and smiled.

She was annoyed by his laughter and pushed him, saying, "What are you laughing at!"

Li Ran took her hand and placed it on his chest: "It's nothing."

Liu Haocun glared at him, then whispered, "I'm going to take a shower."

She broke free from his embrace and ran into the bathroom as if fleeing.
