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

Li Ran came out of the bedroom with the script for "Snow in the Sky" in his hand.

Wang Churan had finished showering and was sitting on the sofa with Tian Xiwei, chatting about something.

When they saw him come out, they both stopped talking.

Li Ran didn't pay attention and walked over to hand the script to Tian Xiwei.

Seeing this, Wang Churan immediately said, "Senior, the role of Nangong Pu She is mine. Take a look at the others."

Tian Xiwei took the script and glanced at her: "Don't worry, I won't take it from you."

Li Ran felt that the friendship between girls was truly amazing; they were just arguing with each other a moment ago, but in no time they were being unusually harmonious.

Tian Xiwei opened the script, skimmed through it, then closed it and looked at Li Ran.

"I haven't read the original novel, and I only have a rough idea of ​​the script, so I can't really understand it."

She paused for a moment, then asked, "How about I play Jiang Ni?"

Li Ran was speechless.

Why do they all want to play Jiang Ni?

The key issue is that the role of Jiang Ni is really not suitable for them.

He actually had a vague idea of ​​someone in mind, and Coconut was quite suitable—aloof, proud, and pitiful.

But he didn't plan to let her act in it. Firstly, it wouldn't be quite right, and secondly... well, never mind.

"It's not suitable." He shook his head.

Tian Xiwei frowned: "Then which one do you think I should play? Xuan Yuan Qingfeng?"

Li Ran chuckled awkwardly: "I already have someone in mind."

He was still wondering what role Xiaotian would be suitable for when Wang Churan suddenly spoke up: "Senior, Yu Youwei would be perfect for you."

Li Ran's eyes lit up, and he blurted out, "A woman whose head is bowed so low that her toes are invisible is an absolute beauty."

Upon hearing this, Wang Churan immediately reached out and gave him a high five: "Li Ran, you really understand me!"

The two looked at each other and smiled, their understanding was perfect.

Tian Xiwei looked at them. Although she didn't quite understand what they meant, she knew from their expressions that it wasn't anything nice.

She looked at her chest suspiciously, and vaguely understood what was going on.

"Okay..." she said calmly. It would be good enough to have a role in such a big production, let alone to work with Li Ran.

She stood up and took Li Ran's hand: "Alright, go to sleep."

Wang Churan rolled her eyes as she watched the two figures walk towards the master bedroom.

Then she got up and went back to the second bedroom.

She needs to be patient; having an ally is crucial.

The night was gentle.

the next morning.

Breakfast was laid out on the table: soy milk, fried dough sticks, steamed buns, and several side dishes.

Wang Churan took a bite of the fried dough stick, then suddenly looked at Tian Xiwei with a mischievous smile: "Senior, last night...?"

Li Ran, who was drinking soy milk, choked on his drink upon hearing this...

Tian Xiwei was peeling an egg when she heard this, she looked up, her face blank.

"puff……"

A mouthful of soy milk sprayed out and splattered on the table.

Tian Xiwei glared at him: "What are you doing?"

Wang Churan covered her mouth, laughing so hard her shoulders shook.

Li Ran hurriedly grabbed a tissue to wipe her mouth, and after wiping it, she glared at Wang Churan.

Wang Churan glared back, laughing even more heartily.

"It's nothing," Li Ran waved his hand, trying to make his voice sound normal. "I choked because I drank too fast. Eat quickly, then we'll go to the supermarket."

Tian Xiwei looked at him suspiciously, then at Wang Churan, feeling that there was some secret between the two that she didn't know.

The three arrived at the supermarket.

There weren't many people in the morning; they simply wore masks and hats and strolled around slowly with their shopping carts.

Tian Xiwei walked ahead, grabbing whatever she saw: snacks, drinks, fruits, daily necessities. In no time, her shopping cart was full.

Li Ran followed behind, responsible for pushing the cart.

Wang Churan strolled leisurely to the side, occasionally picking up something to look at before putting it back.

After finishing his shopping, Li Ran went to pay the bill.

There was just too much stuff: three bags of snacks and drinks, as well as fresh pig's trotters that Tian Xiwei had specially chosen, and a bunch of other ingredients.

It's almost as bad as the frenzied stockpiling during special periods.

It's obvious that the three of them can't take it back.

Li Ran directly arranged for supermarket delivery, filled in the address, and had the staff deliver the goods to her door.

The delivery arrived shortly after I got home.

Tian Xiwei rummaged through the bag and pulled out the prepared pig's trotters, her eyes shining as she looked at Li Ran.

"Let me make you some pig's trotters, a local specialty from our mountain town."

Li Ran smiled as he looked at her eager expression: "Do you need any help?"

'

"No need." Tian Xiwei waved her hand, tied on her apron, "I can manage by myself."

Li Ran didn't insist and went to the living room to watch TV with Wang Churan.

The kitchen was filled with clanging and clattering sounds, and occasionally the aroma of scallions, ginger, and garlic wafted out.

It was supposed to be lunch, but by the time Tian Xiwei had finished preparing it, it was already 3 p.m.

The steaming hot pig's trotter soup has a milky white broth, and the pig's trotters are stewed until tender. It is sprinkled with bright green scallions.

There was also a small dish of chili oil dipping sauce on the side, with white sesame seeds floating in the chili oil, which looked very appetizing.

Li Ran picked up a piece of pig's trotter and put it in his mouth.

The braised pig's trotters are so tender and soft that they practically melt in your mouth without needing to be chewed. The sticky texture of the collagen mixed with the aroma of the meat spreads across your tongue.

"Delicious," he praised sincerely. "It's so soft and chewy, it feels like it just slides down my stomach without much chewing."

A smug smile appeared on Tian Xiwei's face: "It's delicious, I'll make it for you again next time. There are still a few pig's trotters left, we can stew another pot tomorrow."

She pushed the dipping sauce towards Li Ran: "It tastes even better with this."

Li Ran picked up a piece, rolled it in the dipping sauce, and put it in his mouth.

The spiciness and aroma explode in your mouth at the same time, perfectly blending with the soft and tender texture of the pig's trotters.

Wang Churan also took a bite, then looked up at Tian Xiwei: "Senior, you're so virtuous. Much better than Zhou Ye."

Tian Xiwei was stunned for a moment.

It sounded like a compliment, but she felt something was off.

Li Ran glanced at Wang Churan: "Sister Baizhou, you're being a bit deliberate."

Wang Churan smiled and continued eating, saying, "Eat, eat. Even delicious food can't shut you up."

……

Wang Churan did not stay at Li Ran's house for long.

She left three days later.

She is a senior in college this year and still has coursework to complete. Although she has already filmed several movies, she still has to attend her classes.

Tian Xiwei saw her to the door.

Wang Churan changed his shoes, straightened up, and looked at her: "Senior, I'm leaving."

Tian Xiwei nodded.

Wang Churan suddenly leaned closer and lowered his voice: "Don't forget our agreement."

After saying that, she opened the door and left.

Tian Xiwei stood at the door, looking at the closed door, and remained silent for a few seconds.

An agreement? Did what they talked about last night count as an agreement?

She didn't know, but she knew she needed to think about it carefully.

Three days after Wang Churan left.

In the afternoon, the sun was shining brightly, and Li Ran and Tian Xiwei were taking a nap.

The two of them have hardly gone out these past few days, staying at home watching movies, playing games, cooking, and sleeping, living a shameless little life.

With Ta Xue gone, Dou Zai became the group's darling.

The little guy gets petted by the two of them every day, and he's so happy he's practically lost his bearings.

But today seems different.

Zhou Ye stood in the entryway, carrying a suitcase, a relaxed smile on his face.

She finally finished filming, and the moment it ended, she had her assistant book a plane ticket and rushed to find Li Ran.

Prepare to surprise him, or perhaps shock him!

She knew the password to Li Ran's house and simply opened the door and came in.

The living room was quiet, with only a small dog lying next to the sofa.

Douzai heard the noise, looked up, and tilted his head to look at her.

Zhou Ye paused for a moment. This dog... seemed familiar.

But she didn't think much of it, put down her suitcase, opened the airline case, and took out Ta Xue.

As soon as the snow touched the ground, the puppy ran happily towards Douzai. The two puppies sniffed each other, their tails wagging rapidly.

Zhou Ye looked at them, smiled, and then walked towards the bedroom.

She gently pushed open the bedroom door.

Then she froze.

On the bed, the two were sleeping in each other's arms.

One is Li Ran.

The other one... is Stitch.

Tian Xiwei lay sprawled out, hugging Li Ran, with one leg draped over him, and the two slept soundly.

Zhou Ye stood at the door, feeling something explode in his mind with a "buzz".

Although she already knew that the two were together and had tacitly approved of Li Ran's behavior, she still found it hard to accept seeing this scene with her own eyes.

She felt a tightness in her chest, and when she tried to speak, no sound came out.

She took a deep breath.

"Li Ran!!!"

A roar exploded in the bedroom, instantly waking Li Ran, who sat up.
