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

After Tan Wen left, Yuan Lijuan and Lao Tan exchanged a glance.

Old Tan sighed again, and Yuan Lijuan said:

"All three girls are good girls. Xiao Liu is quiet but sensible, Xiao He is generous and knows how to handle things, and Xiao Lu is quiet and seems to have a kind heart."

"You see things quite clearly," Old Tan said.

Yuan Lijuan said, "What's the use of me seeing things clearly? I need to know whether I can make sense of things myself."

Old Tan flicked his unlit cigarette. "Go to sleep."

······

The next day.

Tan Wen got up early, glanced at her phone, and saw a WeChat message at 6:30. She opened it and found it was from her aunt.

"Call me back after you see this message."

Tan Wen's drowsiness vanished instantly. He couldn't return the call at all; it must be about the blind date.

He doesn't have the time or energy for blind dates now; he doesn't even have time for the formalities.

He took out 50,000 yuan in cash from his bag, which he had withdrawn in the town yesterday.

Last time, he kept 10,000 yuan for himself and used the rest to pay off his family's debts.

During this period, Xu Song used "If Back Then" in two consecutive concerts, and paid a total of 9 yuan in copyright fees.

Not many, after all, it's a new song by an amateur, and apart from fans of dating reality shows, not many people have heard of it, so it's understandable that they didn't get much money.

He has decided to entrust all 10 songs awarded in this batch to G.E.M.'s studio for production.

(Please remember 1219.m.k.com for the fastest chapter updates.)

After the show, I used a top-notch singing prop to record all the songs that I was awarded.

He believes that with his current fan base, he can make these songs go viral.

He placed the money on the table, thought for a moment, then took out a piece of paper and wrote a few lines.

After writing, place the paper on top of the money.

The main point of the letter was to persuade his parents not to be reluctant to spend money, but Tan Wen knew it probably wouldn't have much effect.

He pulled Lu Yuxiao out of her room next door, threw 1000 yuan to her still dazed sister, and then he and Lu Yuxiao quietly went downstairs.

Yuan Lijuan and Lao Tan hadn't gotten up yet, but they were both awake.

Hearing the noise, Yuan Lijuan put on her clothes and went out of the bedroom.

"You got up so early?"

"Yeah, it's too late and the sun is too strong to climb the mountain."

"Are you coming back for dinner?"

"I'm not eating anymore. I'm heading straight back to Zhuhai tonight. We won't see each other again until Chinese New Year." Tan Wen told Lu Yuxiao to go wash up first.

Yuan Lijuan felt a little sad. Although her son's lack of understanding annoyed her, she had finally managed to meet him, and now he was leaving again.

Well, I've gotten used to it. Over the years, we've only seen each other a few times a year.

Yuan Lijuan cupped Tan Wen's face and rubbed it, then glanced at Lu Yuxiao, wanting Tan Wen to give an answer.

Tan Wen looked over Yuan Lijuan's head, pretending not to see anything.

Yuan Lijuan pinched Tan Wen's cheek in annoyance, "Get out of here, get out of here."

Lu Yuxiao heard the noise and turned around.

Tan Wen told her, "My mom wants you to get lost."

"Oh, you silly child." Yuan Lijuan smiled at Lu Yu and prepared to prepare breakfast for the two of them.

Tan Wen didn't ask her to cook, saying they would eat in town.

The two drove the sports car that He Mier had rented and soon arrived in town.

He Mier and Liu Haochun were still in bed. Tan Wen wanted to take them out for breakfast, but the two refused to get up no matter what.

"Weren't you full of energy while shopping last night?"

Tan Wen was speechless. He was also a little sleepy, but after getting to He Mi'er's side, his "boyfriend power" instantly made him feel refreshed, and he wished he could carry the two of them out.

He suspected he might become addicted to "boyfriend material," and then to He Mi'er...

Lu Yu yawned slightly, then pulled Tan Wen to have breakfast first, saying he would bring it back for them afterward.

Tan Wen glanced at the time; it was already past seven o'clock, past the planned time. Well, that was that. Anyway, he wasn't afraid of getting a tan.

The two ate the same wontons as yesterday and then packed two more portions to go. They set off around eight o'clock, even though none of them were wearing makeup.

Lu Yuxiao naturally has a natural, understated beauty, and without makeup, she looks even more innocent and younger. He Mier, even without makeup, still has a radiant complexion and exudes a more approachable charm, no longer appearing unapproachable.

The group drove to the foot of Qingyi Mountain.

"It's only about 200 meters high, and under normal circumstances, it takes less than two hours to go up and down," Tan Wen reassured the group.

"There's a temple on the mountain where you can pray for career success, marriage, health—basically anything. It's said to have a good reputation. If you're interested later, you can go and offer your prayers."

Liu Haochun raised his arm and asked curiously, "Did you get this bracelet here?"

"Ahem." Tan Wen saw that He Mi'er and Lu Yu were both engrossed in Liu Haochun's words, and he wanted to slap himself for starting this topic. He said somewhat awkwardly, "This was blessed at Jiming Temple."

Liu Haochun nodded. Tan Wen felt that the girl had asked the question in public on purpose, and he was speechless. He deliberately avoided looking at Lu Yuxiao.

"Let's go," Tan Wen said loudly, trying to divert their attention. "There are quite a lot of people here today."

Lu Yu had some doubts, but she quickly convinced herself not to be so sensitive.

He Mi'er didn't think that much about it, nor did she want to. She would just ask her later.

The stone steps were narrow, barely wide enough for two people to walk side by side.

Tan Wen let the girls walk in front, while he stayed behind to cover their safety. He needed to ensure the girls' safety.

After walking for more than ten minutes, the steps disappeared, and a dirt road appeared, which was not easy to walk on.

Just as Tan Wen was about to step forward to help, a spirited young man with red and yellow dyed hair and a cigarette dangling from his mouth reached out to grab Liu Haochun.

Liu Haochun was so frightened that he took a step back and almost fell, but luckily He Mier caught him.

When the young man saw He Mi'er behind him, his eyes lit up, and he was about to go forward to help. At this moment, Tan Wen had already rushed up, blocked the young man's hand, and looked at him coldly.

The young man scoffed, "Bro, can you manage all this by yourself?"

"Why don't you pull me up first?"

"Useless." The young man actually reached out and grabbed Tan Wen, but the moment he grabbed Tan Wen's hand, he immediately let out a scream.

Tan Wen's grip was now frighteningly strong; he gripped the young man's hand with increasing force.

The young man felt as if his hand was being clamped by pliers. He tried to shake it off, but the pain was too much for him to exert any force, and he couldn't even scream.

Several girls looked at the two with some concern, but they all tacitly refrained from speaking up to stop them.

Tan Wen held the young man's hand until he felt a crack, then he let go. The young man's forehead was covered in large beads of sweat.

He gave Tan Wen a resentful look, then turned and ran away.

After the young man disappeared from sight, Tan Wen wiped his hands with a wet wipe and pulled the girls up.

The girls remained silent, so Tan Wen comforted them, "We'll take another route down the mountain later."

Liu Haochun asked in surprise, "You mean he'll retaliate against us?"

Tan Wen smiled wryly: "Based on my past experience, he probably sent someone over."

Lu Yuxiao: "Then what should we do? How about we go back the way we came?"

Tan Wen shook his head: "It's fine coming up this way, but it's too dangerous to go down, especially since so many people are climbing up here."

Tan Wen took out some water and let everyone drink it to calm down. "It's okay, trust me, there are security guards patrolling the mountain."

The group nodded and followed Tan Wen forward. After a few more minutes, they finally arrived at a flat road encircling the mountain.

Tan Wen led them to a pavilion, intending to rest for a while.

As the group wiped their sweat, Tan Wen noticed a scratch on Liu Haochun's thigh.

He glanced at Liu Haochun helplessly, took out a band-aid from his backpack, and handed it to her.

Liu Haochun took the band-aid and laughed, "Why have you changed? You weren't this casual last time."

Last time? Now Lu Yuxiao couldn't help but question it and asked what happened.

Liu Haochun recounted what had happened last time, and vividly described the scene of Tan Wen singing and her dancing.

Tan Wen was able to feel the romantic atmosphere at that time through her description!

She did it on purpose, Tan Wen was almost certain of it. He glanced at the silent Lu Yuxiao and He Mi'er, his mind racing...
