Huayu: Starting with Rejecting 00s Actresses on a Dating Show

The girl had a round head; that was Tan Wen's first impression of her.

Are you hungry?

Without any introductions, Tan Wen went straight to the question.

The girl paused for a moment, then honestly replied, "A little."

"Can you cook?"

"Not really."

"Then you can ask William to teach you; he really enjoys teaching girls how to cook."

"...Shall we get down to business first?"

"Uh, okay."

"I need to ask you a few questions, and I hope you can answer them truthfully."

Tan Wen immediately replied, "I can't guarantee that; you'll need to make your own judgment."

This is unconventional. The girl has formed some judgments about Tan Wen. "After spending this time together, what do you think of the other girls in the house?"

Tan Wen immediately replied, "Ask me questions that relate to me. I don't want to talk about other girls behind their backs. If you want to know, you can stay in the cabin for a few days and you'll basically know."

The girl finally nodded in satisfaction. This was a trap she had set to see if the boy would criticize the girl without any reservations.

"So, my next question about your opinion of other guys is no longer valid?"

"I can answer that."

"..." The girl reached up and touched her forehead. Why was she being treated differently?

"So, do you want to hear it?"

"Maybe I should just go and find out for myself."

"OK."

The girl continued, "Are you currently in contact with or interested in anyone at the cabin?"

"Yes, I have both," Tan Wen answered honestly.

"All?" The girl was puzzled for a second, then remembered that William had said Tan Wen got along well with more than one girl. It seemed that he hadn't wronged him. The girl was a little curious about how Tan Wen handled his relationships with those girls.

"Fourth question: If you were going on a date with a girl, what would you take her to do?"

Tan Wen said with a smile, "I will accompany her to take the puppy for a check-up."

What kind of answer is this? But upon closer inspection, it's surprisingly relatable. The girl found the answer quite interesting, so she asked her fifth question for the first time.

Do you think the process is more important, or the result?

Tan Wen pondered seriously for a while, but found that he still couldn't give an answer. He thought of the system and He Mi'er. If he wanted to maximize the value of the system, he figured that just dating He Mi'er wouldn't be enough.

"If it's just a process, I wouldn't choose to enter into a relationship!" Tan Wen gave the answer that best suited his situation.

The girl's eyebrows twitched slightly. This answer was unexpected, because many people had told her that relationships require a lot of experience and life experiences to avoid regrets.

But she disliked this view because it was unfair to the person being tested. She felt that more time and patience should be spent screening until a good person is found and they can stay together forever.

Tan Wen's answers were all to the girl's liking, and she was also very curious about Tan Wen, so she chose to turn around.

What a pure and lively girl! That was Tan Wen's first impression upon seeing her face.

She wore two small braids casually draped over her shoulders, and her face was lightly made up. The small moles on her cheeks and under her eyes did not detract from her beauty; on the contrary, they added to her girlish charm.

Her eyes were bright, like they were filled with stars, and her features were very pleasant, giving her a girl-next-door feel.

She wore a red wool crew neck sweater underneath and a beige oversized jacket that covered her miniskirt perfectly.

She wore no jewelry, possessing a purity untouched by worldly concerns.

She's not very tall, but she has great proportions, which makes her legs look very long. The only downside is that she's wearing long boots today, so it's hard to describe her feet.

"Hello, my name is Liu Haochun." She extended her hand.

"Tan Wen." Tan Wen pinched her fingers.

"So this is what you wore on our date today?" Liu Haochun asked with a smile.

Tan Wen looked at himself: jeans, white T-shirt, sneakers—too casual compared to the other three.

"Sorry, I had something to do outside and came here at the last minute."

"Alright, let's go eat then. I'm hungrier than I thought."

"It seems there's another male guest downstairs," Tan Wen reminded him.

Liu Haochun smiled and shook his head: "No need to meet."

"Okay, but I think he'll hate me now."

"You don't seem like someone who would care."

"It seems you already know a bit about me."

······

This date was a mini date; we didn't have any other plans, just a simple meal.

The two sat facing each other. Liu Haochun looked at Tan Wen with a sweet smile on her face, but Tan Wen felt more than just sweetness.

From the moment Liu Haochun turned around, he felt like he was being scrutinized. This girl was not simple, at least not as harmless as she appeared.

The two didn't have a deep conversation when they first met. They talked about their professions and hobbies, but Liu Haochun didn't reveal his profession, so Tan Wen naturally didn't mention his either.

"My hobby when I was a child was playing badminton. I asked my mom to buy me a badminton racket, but she wouldn't let me. From then on, I knew that no one could ever suppress Lin Dan again," Tan Wen casually remarked.

Liu Haochun covered her mouth and smiled slightly. She felt that Tan Wen was very relaxed and did not have the restraint he would have when dating a strange girl. This was probably the reason why he was able to maintain romantic relationships with several girls at the same time.

Should I join in too? It should be quite fun, maybe even surpass them? Just thinking about it is exciting.

"Do you really think you can find a relationship here that leads to marriage?" Liu Haochun remained skeptical.

"I don't know, but I feel that people nowadays are far more capable of breaking up than of falling in love, and it has nothing to do with where you meet them."

Liu Haochun nodded thoughtfully, "It seems that maintaining the ability to love is much more difficult than falling in love with someone."

"That's what I think too."

The two chatted briefly about love before moving on to something more relaxed.

After the meal, Liu Haochun suggested splitting the bill, but Tan Wen firmly disagreed, so Liu Haochun ended up paying for the meal.

After Tan Wen finished his cigarette, the two took a taxi and left...

Lu Yu was taking a nap in a Cayenne not far from their meeting place, but he wasn't feeling very comfortable.

She had a dream in which she finally won the Best Actress award after many years, but many people said she was unworthy of the award and was just a "resource-backed" actress. They kept cursing and cyberbullying her. But this time, there was no one named Tan Wen to defend her.

She woke up with a start, looked up at the door of the meeting place, and saw no one.

Zhuhai in September was very hot. She was covered in sweat, and her bangs were casually stuck to her cheeks.

She checked the time; it was almost nine o'clock. The date had been going on since a little after six, so it should be over by now.

She wanted to call and ask, but she didn't have Tan Wen's contact information.

She couldn't help but feel a little disappointed and aggrieved.

She was now torn about whether to wait or not, thinking that she must have missed them because she had just fallen asleep.

dong dong dong.

Suddenly, there was a sound of banging on the window.

She turned her head and saw Tan Wen grinning at her, revealing his bright white teeth: "Waiting for me?"
