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

How to sleep at night was another difficult question facing Li Ran.

The three of them stood in the living room. Zhou Ye and Tian Xiwei stared at each other, neither willing to look away first.

Li Ran stood in the middle, like a male model at a club, waiting to see who he should go with tonight.

Zhou Ye spoke first, his tone matter-of-fact: "Li Ran, come on, let me check if you're alright."

The three people present all knew perfectly well what she meant by "inspection".

Tian Xiwei immediately objected: "Why should you inspect me?"

Zhou Ye looked at her as if she were an idiot, a mocking smile playing on his lips: "I kicked it, of course I'll check."

Tian Xiwei sneered and turned to Li Ran: "Li Ran, come here, let me kick you too."

Li Ran: "..."

He glanced at Zhou Ye, then at Tian Xiwei.

This time he did not hesitate.

"Alright," he said, his tone calm but firm, "Xiaotian, you sleep in the master bedroom, Coconut and I will go to the guest bedroom."

Tian Xiwei was stunned for a moment.

She looked at him, trying to find something on his face, whether he was still angry about what had just happened.

But Li Ran just looked at her, his eyes calm, without anger or flattery.

Tian Xiwei snorted coldly and didn't say anything more. She turned around and walked towards the master bedroom, pushed open the door, and then slammed it shut.

The door slammed shut.

Hearing the muffled thud, Li Ran knew she must be unhappy.

But he also understood Xiaotian; although she had a fiery temper, she never held grudges.

After all, the two of them had been sleeping for several days.

"Let's go." Li Ran withdrew his gaze and looked at Zhou Ye.

Zhou Ye stood there, staring at the closed door, a triumphant look on his face.

Inside the second bedroom.

Zhou Ye stood by the bed, looking at Li Ran, and suddenly felt a little awkward.

The air of authority that had been so natural in the living room just now had, for some reason, largely dissipated.

"Um..." she whispered, "Does it still hurt?"

Li Ran looked at her and smiled, "Why don't you get checked out yourself and see?"

Zhou Ye blushed slightly, but still stepped forward and reached out to unzip his pants.

Li Ran held her hand down: "Don't rush."

Zhou Ye looked up at him.

Li Ran lowered his head and gently kissed her forehead.

"It's alright! I'm perfectly fine."

As it turns out, it really is great.

Whether it was fear of actually becoming sisters or a pent-up resentment, Li Ran was unusually... reckless tonight.

How reckless are they?

In the end, she didn't even have the strength to move her fingers.

the next morning.

Zhou Ye leaned against the wall and slowly walked out of the bedroom.

He was really leaning against the wall.

Every step felt like walking on cotton; my legs felt so weak they didn't belong to me.

In the living room, Tian Xiwei was already sitting at the dining table.

She was stunned when she saw Zhou Ye's expression, and then a meaningful smile slowly curved her lips.

"Oh," she said slowly, "Flatbed, what happened to you? Did you break your leg?"

Zhou Ye glared at her. She leaned against the wall and slowly moved to the dining table, where she sat down.

Tian Xiwei couldn't help but laugh when she saw her expression.

Zhou Ye wanted to argue, but he was too weak to do so. He could only angrily pick up his chopsticks and start eating breakfast.

Li Ran came out of the kitchen carrying fried eggs. When he saw this scene, the corners of his mouth curved slightly, but he didn't say anything.

in the afternoon.

Li Ran took Tian Xiwei out.

The two walked around the nearby neighborhoods and finally chose a two-bedroom apartment.

It's less than a ten-minute walk from Li Ran's house, the environment is quiet, and the lighting is good.

Tian Xiwei will definitely be staying in Beijing for a long time, so living at his house indefinitely is not a long-term solution.

Zhou Ye and the others all have their own apartments, so she should have one too.

Assistant Xiao Chen had already completed the formalities and handed the keys to Li Ran.

"Hua Yu: Starting from Retirement, Sweeping Through the Domestic Entertainment Industry" ranked high in the Cola Novels readers' poll for the best fantasy novel!

He will also arrange the apartment furnishings, and we can move in with our bags in a few days.

On the way back, Tian Xiwei remained silent.

Halfway there, she suddenly said, "Can't I just stay at your place?"

Li Ran turned to look at her; she looked somewhat aggrieved.

"Sister," Li Ran smiled, "fighting every day, you're not annoyed, but I am."

Tian Xiwei retorted, "You're always fighting, isn't that your own fault? Who told you to date six people at once?"

Li Ran didn't say anything more, because he didn't know how to respond to that.

Tian Xiwei asked, "Are you angry?"

"No." Li Ran replied expressionlessly, his tone somewhat stiff.

"And you said you weren't angry."

Tian Xiwei looked directly at him. "Should I have mentioned Hu Lianxin last night?"

Li Ran smiled, remained silent for a moment, and then slowly said, "Everything else is fine. But don't tell Zhou Ye about Xiao Hu right now."

Tian Xiwei looked at him, her eyes filled with complex emotions. "Why?"

Li Ran thought about it and decided to tell her.

This will also prevent her from accidentally letting something slip and upsetting Zhou Ye later.

"The others are fine, but the reason Coconut is willing to turn a blind eye to others is all because Xiao Hu is giving her advice."

Tian Xiwei was stunned for a moment.

"What?"

Li Ran nodded: "It started back in the 'Minglong' crew. You noticed Zhou Ye's changes later, right?"

Tian Xiwei nodded thoughtfully.

She recalled Zhou Ye's behavior on set, which was indeed different from his initial performance.

Li Ran didn't know at first, he just thought that Zhou Ye had figured it out himself, which was what Xiao Hu told him later.

Tian Xiwei asked, "If it weren't for Hu Lianxin, would you have already broken up with her on the set of 'Minglong' last time?"

She now agrees more with Wang Churan's words: Zhou Ye is easy to deal with, but this Hu Lianxin seems to be a tough nut to crack.

No wonder my flat little brain suddenly became smart; before, all I knew was to cry and tattle.

Li Ran slowly began, "So, if you tell Zhou Ye that Xiao Hu is also..."

"What will she think? She'll feel like she's been played from the very beginning."

"Her most trusted best friend and her boyfriend... she'll go crazy. Either I'll die, or I'll be trending on social media!"

"Let's not argue these next few days. I'll be going to film in a few days."

Tian Xiwei then asked, "Then why do you insist that I move out?"

Li Ran explained, "There are other reasons besides renting you a house."

"I'll be renting a few more apartments in a few days. If the paparazzi find out the addresses and take pictures of me, and it gets trending on social media, that'll be another problem."

Tian Xiwei nodded; the rented apartment wasn't far anyway.

"Alright, I got it. Also, try not to argue with her these next few days, as long as she doesn't start trouble."

Li Ran smiled and said, "I knew you were the most considerate. No wonder my mom likes you too."

Tian Xiwei snorted: "Then when are you going to marry me...?"

……

Zhou Ye only stayed at Li Ran's house for two days.

On the afternoon of the third day, she received a notice for an event and had to leave early.

Li Ran escorted her downstairs, where the car that was supposed to pick her up was already parked on the side of the road, with the driver standing beside it waiting.

Zhou Ye, carrying his suitcase, stopped in front of the car door, turned around and looked at him, "Okay, I'll tell the company to reserve the time slot."

She paused, then asked, "And why can't I play Jiang Ni?"

Li Ran smiled helplessly: "Didn't I already explain? It's not appropriate."

Zhou Ye stared at him: "Then who's going to play Jiang Ni?"

"We'll see how it goes at the audition."

"It wasn't anyone else, was it?"

Li Ran knew who she was talking about: Tian Xiwei, or Wang Churan, or someone else.

He shook his head: "No, when it comes to auditions, the production team won't have the final say on the decision-making process alone."

Zhou Ye looked at him for a few seconds, then nodded.

"Alright, you can go back now! I'll visit you on set again when I have time."

Li Ran nodded.
