Huayu: Don't force me to be a master

Several old locust trees spread out a patch of green shade, and there was a flat bluestone under the trees.

The distant, noisy voices of the film crew could be faintly heard, but they were scattered by the mountain wind.

Sunlight filters through the gaps in the leaves, casting dappled shadows on the ground. Occasionally, birds hop on the branches, startling a few withered leaves to fall.

This place is quiet enough!

At that moment, Qian Lang and Yang Lei were right there.

However, this silence only made Yang Lei more nervous.

She always felt that a wave of money would suddenly crash down on her, and then...

"What are you thinking about? Let's get back to the scene. Were you frightened last night?"

Qian Lang leaned against the tree and said jokingly.

Yang Lei pursed her lips and didn't say anything.

Qian Lang continued speaking.

"Chen Hao isn't panicking, so why are you?"

"Stop talking!"

Yang Lei said defiantly.

He secretly cursed himself for being so weak, letting such a small situation affect him.

"Okay, I won't say anything. Let's rehearse. If you get another NG (no good take) later, Lao Zhou will probably... he'll have to go with you tonight to discuss the script."

"Nonsense, Director Zhou is not that kind of person."

Yang Lei said, her face slightly flushed.

However, if acting were useful, it would have been over long ago.

Yang Lei suddenly glanced at Qian Lang again, her eyes wide open.

Qian Lang felt like laughing.

He realized that Yang Lei wanted to "get closer" to him.

He used to work on film sets, and this kind of situation is quite common.

If both parties are a little nervous, "sticking together" often has a surprising effect.

However, he won't say!

Qian Lang turned his head and looked at the surrounding scenery.

"The scenery here is really beautiful."

Qian Lang made sarcastic remarks.

Yang Lei's mouth puffed up with anger.

She wanted to get through this difficult time by "sticking together," but... did she really have to bring this up?

"Qian Lang... I... we..."

Yang Lei stammered as she spoke.

"Let's start rehearsing our lines."

Qian Lang smiled and said to Yang Lei.

"You...no, I mean..."

As Yang Lei spoke, she lowered her head, a slight blush creeping onto her face.

"Keep talking. How am I supposed to know what you're trying to say if you don't speak? You..."

"Shut up!"

The girl finally got angry.

She also realized that Qian Lang was just playing her.

At that moment, she saw Qian Lang open his arms, as if waiting for her to throw herself into his embrace.

However, Yang Lei didn't think much of it at the time.

She thought that once the "sticking" was done, she could resume filming normally in a little while.

So, she slowly walked towards Qianlang.

The two drew closer and closer.

Finally, the two embraced.

only,,,

Yang Lei never imagined that the feeling would come so intensely.

The moment Qian Lang embraced her, her body went limp, her legs as soft as noodles, and she couldn't muster any strength at all.

Qian Lang was also startled.

this,,,,,

This girl likes him... no, this girl has feelings for him.

Looking at the girl in his arms, who was breathing slightly heavily, Qian Lang slowly lowered his head.

He never hesitates to accept things that come to him.

As Yang Lei watched the face getting closer and closer, a sense of panic rose in her heart.

She had feelings for Qian Lang, but that was all.

And now...

What should I do...?

She tried to struggle, but she couldn't muster any strength; it was as if she had lost control of her body.

Qian Lang also saw the panic on the girl's face.

Moreover, it wasn't feigned; it was genuine panic.

Why,,,,

He can't stand girls making that kind of face.

then!

He kissed her!

-----------------

"Cut! One take!"

Zhou Xiaowen shouted from the sidelines of the film set.

But his eyes were full of relief.

However, Yang Lei on set showed no joy whatsoever at the end of her scenes.

There was a hint of complexity in her gaze as she looked at Qian Lang.

That bastard...

Qian Lang was also looking at her, but he unconsciously licked his lips again.

hurts a little.

This is like an old wound that hasn't healed, and then a new one is added.

Why do these women like to "bite" so much?

Thinking about it this way, I still think Liu Tao is better. Teacher Liu also likes to "bite," but he won't hurt him.

He then ignored Yang Lei and went to find Liu Tao.

The two are still generating "rumors," so naturally they need to get together more often.

Yang Lei pouted as she watched Qian Lang leave without saying a word.

However, she made up her mind that she must stay away from Qian Lang from now on; this man was too dangerous.

"Sister Chen Hao is right!"

Yang Lei muttered something to herself, and then went to find Chen Hao as well.

From that day on, Qian Lang discovered a new situation.

Chen Hao and Yang Lei started avoiding him.

Jiang Xin stopped asking him out.

It seems his true nature as a scumbag has been discovered.

Three days passed like this.

For three days, Chen Hao and Yang Lei seemed to have made a pact to avoid him whenever they saw him.

There was no further news from Jiang Xin. Occasionally, when they bumped into each other on set, they would only nod politely.

Qian Lang was happy to have some free time. Apart from filming, he spent his time with Liu Tao. The two of them made the "hype" seem so real that the way people in the crew looked at them changed.

Money doesn't matter.

The earth will keep turning without women, and besides, he still has Liu Tao.

Hello, Teacher Liu. Teacher Liu is sensible. Teacher Liu doesn't bite—at least not until it breaks the skin.

Three nights later, Qian Lang was lying in bed watching TV when that familiar voice suddenly echoed in his mind.

[Slightly altered Su Chang's fate, gained 500 Fate Points!]

Qian Lang paused for a moment, then smiled.

Zhang Jizhong finally made the decision.

The image of the Heavenly Child Granny has been changed, and her song "Half a Lifetime Gone" has probably been removed as well.

I don't know if the song was included in the 500 Destiny Points, but it doesn't matter, I won't lose anything anyway.

He glanced at his balance: 1450.

It's still far from a million, no, it's not even a fraction of that, but at least we're making progress.

Qian Lang tossed his phone aside and closed his eyes.

The image of Su Chang's youthful face and that incredibly ugly pigtail flashed through my mind.

I wonder what the new look will be like. I hope it won't ruin the little girl's appearance again.

The next day at noon, the sun was warm.

Qian Lang had just finished eating and was about to find a shady spot to take a nap when he looked up and saw Su Chang standing not far away, holding something in her hand and looking in his direction.

She noticed that Qian Lang had noticed her, hesitated for a moment, and then walked over.

"Teacher Qian... Teacher Qian."

The voice was soft, with a hint of timidity.

Qian Lang smiled slightly; he knew why Su Chang had come.

"Did you change your look?"

"Thank you, Teacher Qian!"

Su Chang quickly bowed and said.

"Don't mention it, it was nothing. By the way, I also wrote a song for you. Did Producer Zhang tell you about it?"

Qian Lang waved his hand as he spoke.

Su Chang was stunned when she heard this.

"There's...there's another song?"

"Yes, it was written specifically for the Heavenly Child Granny. I reckon Zhang Jizhong will contact you again later. This is an opportunity for you. Hmm, that song is good."

Qian Lang said it very casually.

Su Chang's mind went completely blank.

Why is he so good to me?

"Hey, are you stupid?"

Qian Lang called out when he saw that Su Chang looked absent-minded.

Su Chang finally came to her senses, and her face flushed red.

"No, I'm not stupid..."

"Hahaha!"

Qian Lang finally couldn't help but burst into laughter.

That's what a girl should be like!

Unlike Liu Yifei, who is simply a goofball.

Try eating a bronze incense burner. You'd better try it, and the monks at Dafosi Temple might just fight you to the death.

Hearing Qian Lang's laughter, Su Chang was so embarrassed that she buried her head in her chest.

"Okay, okay, I'm not laughing anymore, Su Chang, you're so cute. By the way, let me tell you about the song, so you won't be completely clueless later. Come, sit down."

Qian Lang patted the stone beside him and said.

"oh!"

Su Chang agreed and carefully sat down next to Qian Lang, though she was a little nervous.

Qian Lang didn't mind, and instead slowly started talking about the song.

"This song was written specifically for the Heavenly Child Granny. To sing this song well, you first need to understand the Heavenly Child Granny herself..."

Qian Lang spoke very slowly.

Sometimes they would ask Su Chang if she understood.

Even Qian Lang himself didn't realize that he was exceptionally patient with Su Chang.

In the mountain breeze, a man spoke leisurely, while a young girl listened quietly beside him; the scene was so harmonious!

So much so that even though Liu Tao saw it from afar, he didn't come over.

It was as if they were afraid of ruining this scene.

After half an hour.

"That's about it. I'll write the lyrics for you later."

"Money, money wave, brother, I've memorized the lyrics."

The girl said this with a slight blush.

For half an hour, Qian Lang kept talking about songs, but Su Chang felt a tenderness she had never felt from anyone else.

This older brother seems to be really different from everyone else.

Moreover, as a young girl experiencing first love, Su Chang felt a slight flutter in her heart.

So, subconsciously, she didn't want to call him Teacher Qian.

But after shouting, I felt a little nervous.

She didn't know if Qian Lang would like it.

Qian Lang smiled upon hearing this.

Ah!

"Lang Ge" sounds much better than "Xiao Lang Zi".

However, he also admired Su Chang's memory.

"sharp!"

Qian Lang smiled and gave Su Chang a thumbs up.

This made Su Chang's face turn even redder.

"Changchang, what are you doing here? You little rascal, you're here too!"

Well, just like that, he appeared as soon as you thought of him.

Liu Yifei has come looking for her.

She came over and plopped down to Qian Lang's left.

"Qian Lang, how about you come with me to the internet cafe later and check it out?"

Liu Yifei said, tugging at Qian Lang's arm.

Her songs have been released, and everyone who has heard them says they are good.

Of course, the main reason is that the song is simple and catchy.

As for going to the internet cafe, it was because the song promotion had started, and the internet cafe was the main battleground; she wanted to go and see.

"Why don't you go with your mom?"

Qian Lang, however, was too lazy to move.

Whether you go or not, it won't change much.

"My mom won't let me go."

Liu Yifei spoke with a worried expression.

Indeed, what kind of place is an internet cafe? Liu Xiaoli would definitely not let her go to such a place.

"Then let me take you. What if your mom causes me trouble later?"

"No way! My mom's been raving about you lately..."

As Liu Yifei spoke, she quickly covered her mouth, as if she had said something wrong.

Qian Lang glanced at her, too lazy to expose her.

Of course, he didn't think Liu Xiaoli would be interested in him; the clarity of a middle-aged woman is something a woman in her early twenties can't compare to.

So, he and Liu Xiaoli were not meant to be.

However, he hadn't been to an internet cafe in a long time, so he was somewhat interested.

In internet cafes of that era, most people were probably playing "Legend of Mir," and of course, Counter-Strike, Diablo, Starcraft, and Red Alert...

Gradually, a picture unfolded in Qian Lang's mind.

Suddenly, he had this strong urge to go to an internet cafe.

And taking Liu Yifei to an internet cafe seems kind of interesting.

"Okay, I'll take you after the show, but don't blame me if you can't get out on your own."

"Hehe, then you can rest assured."

Just then, a timid voice sounded beside me.

"Can I come with you?"

-----------------

Internet cafes in 2002!

Qian Lang stood in front of the only decent internet cafe in the county town, lost in thought.

Ten years, or twenty years?

It's been so long.

"Once you're inside, stick close to me and don't wander off. There are all sorts of people in there."

Qian Lang gave the two girls some more instructions.

Actually, he regretted it quite a bit.

He had a feeling something was going to happen when he brought Liu Yifei and Su Chang to visit an internet cafe in 2002.

These days, internet cafes are frequented by all sorts of people, especially petty thugs.

"Okay, okay."

Liu Yifei said impatiently.

But his eyes were full of excitement.

Su Chang was also a little eager to try it out; she had never been to a place like this before.

"Alright, let's go in!"

As Qian Lang spoke, he walked into the internet cafe called "New Century".

He frowned as he pushed open the door.

The smells of smoke, instant noodles, and sweat hit them, and the two girls instinctively covered their noses.

"Are we still going in?"

Qian Lang turned his head and asked.

"Of course I'll go in."

Liu Yifei said, her eyes shining.

Because she saw her own poster, which was posted in the aisle of the internet cafe.

And the speakers in the internet cafe were playing her song "Fairy Tale Town".

We absolutely have to go!

Qian Lang didn't say anything, but went inside.

I felt a little disoriented as soon as I went in.

The screens were filled with CRT monitors, mostly 17 inches, all displaying images from the game "Legend of Mir"—some people were slaying monsters in the Centipede Cave, some were AFK farming in the safe zone of Tu City, and a few were gathered together attacking the city, shouting themselves hoarse.

"Taoist, heal! Mage, retreat!"

Someone was playing Counter-Strike in the corner, gunshots rang out, mixed with curses like "Damn it, I got headshot again."

By the window, a guy wearing glasses was intently playing StarCraft, his hands moving so fast the mouse seemed to fly.

There are still people playing Diablo II, with the screen filled with countless monsters. When a mage casts a blizzard, gold coins and equipment fall to the ground.

With so many drops, this thing must have used a "little charm".

Seeing all this, Qian Lang smiled!

This is what his youth was all about.

He then skillfully went to the front desk to complete the formalities and found a corner to turn on three machines.

He sat in the middle after the two girls politely declined.

He couldn't wait to open the CS interface, but he hadn't played it in so long that he was a little unfamiliar with the interface.

In addition, you should set up your own familiar keyboard shortcuts.

Qian Lang was extremely busy!

However, Liu Yifei, who was standing to the side, was dumbfounded.

She opened her browser, but this website... was too exciting!
