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

Fall in love with reading, starting with Cola Novels.

Wang Churan looked at Tian Xiwei, then suddenly smiled and changed the subject: "Let's not talk about that. Where will Li Ran sleep tonight?"

The air fell silent for a moment after those words were spoken.

Li Ran sat on the sofa and fell silent.

He'll sleep in the master bedroom, of course. The question is, between the two of them, who sleeps in the master bedroom and who sleeps in the guest bedroom?

Tian Xiwei spoke first, her tone matter-of-fact: "Of course Li Ran will sleep in the master bedroom with me."

Wang Churan was about to roll her eyes, but she managed to restrain herself by pouting.

She pouted, her expression somewhat comical, but her tone was anything but gentle: "Why should you sleep with Li Ran? You should be sleeping in the master bedroom."

Tian Xiwei looked at her, a cold smile appearing on her lips: "Because you came later."

Wang Churan immediately retorted, "It seems like you're the one who arrived later today, right?"

The two of them looked at Li Ran at the same time.

Tian Xiwei: "Li Ran, who are you saying came later?"

Li Ran scratched his hair, feeling a throbbing sensation in his temples.

He took a deep breath, trying to come up with a compromise: "How about you two draw lots? I'll sleep on the sofa."

"No!"

The two women spoke in unison.

Tian Xiwei glared at him: "Sleep with me, it's not like there's no room for me."

Wang Churan chimed in, "Exactly, what kind of behavior is it to sleep on the sofa?"

Li Ran leaned back on the sofa and spread his hands: "Then give me a solution that satisfies both sides."

Wang Churan's eyes lit up and she immediately replied, "Then let senior sleep in the master bedroom, and you can sleep in the guest bedroom with me."

Tian Xiwei scoffed, "Why should Li Ran sleep with you?"

Seeing that the two had circled back to the starting point, Li Ran gave up completely.

He stood up: "Then you two discuss it, I'm going to take a shower."

After saying that, he walked towards the bathroom without looking back.

Only Tian Xiwei and Wang Churan remained in the living room, along with Douzai, who had a puzzled look on his face.

Tian Xiwei stared at Wang Churan with an unfriendly look: "Are you deliberately picking a fight?"

Wang Churan looked at her and suddenly smiled.

The smile came out of nowhere, startling Tian Xiwei: "What are you laughing at?"

Wang Churan tilted her head and asked in a strange tone, "Is your melon guaranteed to be ripe?"

Tian Xiwei: "...?"

She looked at Wang Churan blankly, completely not understanding what he was talking about.

Wang Churan laughed even harder, her shoulders shaking with laughter. She took out her phone, swiped a few times, and handed it to Tian Xiwei.

A classic scene was playing on the screen: Liu Huaqiang buying melons, and his question, "Can you guarantee these melons are ripe?" paired with his expression, was truly mesmerizing.

After reading it, Tian Xiwei understood.

She handed the phone back to Wang Churan, saying expressionlessly, "You have a really low threshold for laughter."

Wang Churan blinked: "Isn't it funny?"

Tian Xiwei paused, then her lips twitched slightly: "Funny..."

Wang Churan put away her phone, leaned back on the sofa, and suddenly said seriously, "Never mind, senior. You and Li Ran can sleep together tonight, I'll just take a break."

Tian Xiwei looked at her suspiciously: "Why are you being so agreeable?"

Wang Churan waved her hand, her tone becoming serious: "I don't want to make things difficult for Li Ran either."

She looked at Tian Xiwei, her eyes no longer filled with the mockery of before, but with a sincere earnestness: "Senior, please don't hold such malice towards me, okay?"

"You like Li Ran, and I like Li Ran too. If it's just the two of us, we can compete fairly."

She paused, then sighed: "But how many are there now? Five."

Tian Xiwei interrupted her: "Wait a minute...aren't there six?"

Wang Churan was taken aback: "When did one more appear? Wasn't Zhang Jingyi the last one?"

Tian Xiwei looked at her and slowly said, "The last one is Liu Haocun, the female lead in the last movie."

Wang Churan was silent for two seconds, then waved her hand: "Okay, let's not worry about how many there are now."

She sat up straight, leaned forward slightly, and lowered her voice: "Senior, do you think this is funny?"

Tian Xiwei didn't speak, she just looked at her.

Wang Churan continued, "Look, it hasn't been long, and there are already six. What about later?"

She started analyzing, counting on her fingers: "Zhou Ye holds the title of the first girlfriend, and no one can change that. As for Zhang Jingyi, from what I know, Li Ran is incredibly protective of her."

"Hu Lianxin and Zhou Ye are best friends. Although they might fall out in the future, what if they team up?"

"I don't know much about Liu Haocun, but he's definitely not a good guy."

She looked at Tian Xiwei with a serious gaze: "Senior, don't you feel any sense of crisis?"

Tian Xiwei frowned slightly.

Wang Churan continued, "Although you said you're going to meet the parents, do you understand Li Ran's thoughts? He's not the kind of person who will obediently follow arrangements."

Tian Xiwei remained silent.

She thought of Li Ran's personality; he was indeed not the kind of person who could be controlled by anyone.

Meeting the parents is one thing, but actually letting him make any decisions is another.

"After all that talk," she began, looking at Wang Churan, "what about you?"

Wang Churan smiled, a smile that carried a sense of composure: "Senior, I definitely won't leave Li Ran."

"Such an outstanding man is rare in this industry. Although he's a bit of a womanizer, how many honest men are there in this circle?"

"Forget about finding someone outside the circle! You'll just end up getting swindled out of your money and your virtue."

She paused, then her tone became more candid: "I didn't intend to marry him either. Senior, I'll help you, just turn a blind eye to my existence."

Tian Xiwei looked at her, her eyes filled with complex emotions: "Don't you have any other thoughts?"

Wang Churan shook her head: "At least Li Ran doesn't swindle money; the key is that he's rich. Even if he were to swindle women, I'd still profit. With Li Ran's looks, how many people would be waiting to be swindled?"

She smiled and added, "Besides, he gives me resources, so I'm even less willing to leave him. Men like that are hard to find."

Tian Xiwei was stunned: "Stop, stop, stop... You've been brainwashed by him?"

Wang Churan laughed: "No, I'm perfectly sober."

Tian Xiwei asked, "What resources did he give you?"

Wang Churan replied, "The Sword and the Snow, a big-budget production by Tencent."

Looking at the junior from the Shanghai Theatre Academy in front of her, Tian Xiwei suddenly realized that she might have underestimated her.

What Wang Churan said, though it sounded a bit outrageous, actually made some sense when you thought about it carefully.

Just as she was about to say something, the bathroom door opened.

Li Ran walked out wearing shorts. He looked at the two people sitting on the sofa, staring at each other, and paused for a moment: "You two have already discussed it?"

Wang Churan smiled at him and said, "That's right! You and your senior will sleep in the master bedroom tonight, and you'll sleep in the guest bedroom with me tomorrow."

Tian Xiwei was puzzled. When did I agree to that? And why should I sleep in the spare bedroom with you tomorrow?

However, she did not refute it; this was the best solution at the moment.

She nodded to Li Ran, "Yes, just do as Chu Ran said."

Li Ran was even more confused. Why did the way she addressed him change so quickly after he took a shower?

He sat down on the sofa, still drying his wet hair. He didn't like using a hairdryer and preferred to let it air dry.

Seeing this, Tian Xiwei sat down next to him and started drying his hair.

Wang Churan said, "Then I'm going to take a shower."

After she left, Tian Xiwei asked, "Did you give her film and television resources? And a big IP like 'The Sword and the Brocade'?"

Li Ran nodded. "What's wrong? You're not getting any more acting roles?"

Tian Xiwei: "I've been taking a break recently; filming was a bit tiring."

"Since filming for 'Snowy Mountain' doesn't start until next spring, I'll arrange a role for you too."

Tian Xiwei snorted coldly, "You don't need to make me happy. I won't be jealous over a role."

"So, are you taking a break during this time?"

Li Ran reached out and removed her hand. "Alright, it'll dry naturally in a bit."

"We'll start filming a modern romance drama in October, then take a break for the Lunar New Year, and then we'll start filming 'Snowy Mountain' around the same time."

Tian Xiwei asked in confusion, "What do you mean, 'currently appearing'?"

After thinking for a moment, Li Ran finally spoke up: "The drama is called 'Lighter and Princess Dress,' and the female lead is Zhang Jingyi."

Tian Xiwei gave a soft "oh" and didn't react much.

Li Ran chuckled awkwardly, "What, are you jealous!"

Tian Xiwei slowly spoke, "It seems Wang Churan was right, you really dote on your junior schoolmate, don't you?"

"There's no need to be jealous. I'm worried you'll hook up with another leading lady, and then there will be seven instead of six."

Li Ran laughed awkwardly, "It can't be that bad. Am I really that much of a jerk?"

Tian Xiwei snorted coldly, "What's the deal with Liu Haocun?"

"Alright, you don't need to explain anymore. Do you have a script? Let me see."

Li Ran knew she wanted to see the script for "Snow in the Sky," so he got up and went to the bedroom to get it.

Zhang Jingyi has been cast as the female lead in "Lighter". There are no other outstanding female characters; they are all just minor supporting roles. The drama mainly revolves around the male and female leads.

Unlike "Snowy Mountain," which is an ensemble drama with many outstanding female characters, "Snowy Mountain" is different.

The previous version of "Snow in the Sky" failed to capture the feeling of the original work.
