Chapter 48 Lazy

In the courtyard, the golden avenue paved with ginkgo trees and leaves gives it an autumnal fairytale feel.

Li Xiaoran, still holding Wu Yuchen's arm, asked with a smile:

"Chenchen, I remember you studied directing? Did you switch to acting? How come you're such a good actor?"

"Directors also need to take acting classes, okay? Otherwise, how can they teach actors to act?"

"Really? This is the first time I've heard of this. Hey, are you familiar with Zhou Wenbing? You're just impersonating him?"

"We're not that close, but isn't this all for you?" Wu Yuchen said irritably.

"Haha, then you'd better be careful Zhou Wenbing doesn't find out and cause you trouble~"

"If you want to cause me trouble, I'll hide at your house!"

"Then crawl under the bed and I'll get you a blanket to cover you up~" Li Xiaoran said, laughing out loud. That's what she always did when she got into trouble as a child.

Wu Yuchen wasn't too worried about it. He wasn't familiar with Zhou Wenbing, but he was familiar with his cousin, so he could just let him know later. Besides, Zhou Wenbing had probably matured a lot after his military training, and he wouldn't hold it against him; he'd probably just laugh it off.

However, after glancing at Li Xiaoran beside him, who was busy grinning foolishly, he still said:
"Ranran, you should be careful these days. It would be best if you stayed at home. If he still bothers you when you go to the dance troupe tomorrow, you should call your dad right away."

"Okay," Li Xiaoran replied casually.

"I'm serious, take it to heart." Seeing her perfunctory attitude, Wu Yuchen emphasized again.

Upon hearing this, Li Xiaoran glanced at Wu Yuchen, then grabbed his neck and made a choking motion:
"How come you've become so disrespectful after not seeing me for a while, lecturing me like my mom does!"

However, Wu Yuchen is now much taller than her, making it very difficult for her to stand on tiptoe. Wu Yuchen easily broke free with a little effort.

Li Xiaoran had no choice but to let go, muttering, "You're not fun at all now that you've grown up~"

Wu Yuchen smirked: "You really want to keep riding on my head? Don't you know what it means for fortune to change? Don't underestimate a young man's potential!"

"Hey! You've gone too far!" Li Xiaoran was about to pinch Wu Yuchen again, but he quickly dodged her. The two of them went home bickering like this.

At the dinner table, Wu Yuchen chatted casually with the family while eating. It wasn't his first time there, so he wasn't reserved at all.

Li Xiaoran's mother asked with a smile, "Chenchen, I heard from your mother that you've learned to cook?"

"Huh? You can cook now?!" Li Xiaoran exclaimed in surprise.

"Hehe, Auntie, next time you come to our house, I'll show you what I can do!"

“I’ll go too! I’ll give you some pointers then~” Li Xiaoran said with a grin.

When it comes to cooking, Wu Yuchen has to admire Li Xiaoran. He doesn't know how she got her talent, but her cooking skills far surpass those of her mother.

After Li Xiaoran finished eating in a few bites, she tried to pull Wu Yuchen into the house.

Her mother glared at her: "Let Chenchen finish her meal! All she does when she gets back is play games!"

"Oh, Mom, I'm already at work, what's wrong with playing games for a while!"

Wu Yuchen knew that if he dragged it out any longer, he would have to watch the mother and daughter bicker, so he shoveled the rice in his bowl into his mouth and swallowed it down before quickly following Li Xiaoran into the house.

Li Xiaoran doesn't like playing fighting games; instead, she prefers adventure games like Contra and Super Mario.

Wu Yuchen didn't mind at all, and chatted with her while they played:
"Hey, Ranran, isn't there someone named Chen Kun in your dance troupe?" "Yeah, why?"

Is he still in your regiment?

"what?"

Li Xiaoran casually rubbed the handle and said:
"He should be here, right? Our group is pretty big, and I haven't paid much attention to the others this month. Why are you so concerned about him?"

"Oh, it's nothing. I just remembered him because he was quite handsome when he came to see you last time."

"Why are you paying attention to a guy when there are so many pretty girls in our group?"

Li Xiaoran turned her head and gave Wu Yuchen a strange look. She had heard of the "Rabbit Master" before, let alone her own younger brother...

Wu Yuchen could tell what she was thinking just by looking at her eyes, and sneered:
"What nonsense are you thinking! With you in your group, how can any other girls even show their faces?"

"Wow, how come you've suddenly become so eloquent!" Li Xiaoran smiled sweetly upon hearing this, then continued rubbing the controller.

Wu Yuchen thought for a moment and then asked, "Sister Ranran, have you ever thought about changing careers or something?"

"Change careers? What would I change careers to do?" Li Xiaoran felt that Wu Yuchen was suddenly asking some strange questions today.

"Didn't you say before that Zhang Yimou approached you to make a movie? That means you have potential in this area, right? Haven't you thought about nurturing it more?"

Wu Yuchen tentatively suggested that if Li Xiaoran really wanted to become an actress in the future, she should start planning earlier, such as going to school.

"I'm too lazy to do it, it's too much trouble!" Li Xiaoran said without turning her head.

When Zhang Yimou was filming "Raise the Red Lantern," he immediately took a liking to Li Xiaoran, who was fair-skinned, beautiful, and had an outstanding temperament, and invited her to play one of the roles. However, Li Xiaoran refused because she thought it would be too much trouble to leave Beijing.

The reason she later went into acting was because she had squandered all her savings after resigning from the song and dance troupe and was too ashamed to ask her family for money, so she thought of going into acting. Because of her good looks, she quickly got a part-time role.

Upon hearing her words, Wu Yuchen knew that she still wasn't interested, so he didn't say anything more.

After playing for more than an hour, he checked his watch and prepared to leave.

After Wu Yuchen got up, thinking about what had happened earlier, he said to Li Xiaoran again:
"Remember, you're going home to stay these next few days."

"I'm not coming back. If I come back, I'll be controlled and nagged all the time. I won't even be able to sleep in." Li Xiaoran complained, sprawled on the bed without any regard for her image.

Wu Yuchen had guessed that she would react this way, so he said:
“I’ve been calling your family every day for the past few days. If you don’t come home, I’ll tell your dad about what happened today.”

"Hey, whose side are you on?! How could you tattle on me like that?!" Upon hearing this, Li Xiaoran sat up abruptly from the bed, her beautiful eyes wide as she glared at Wu Yuchen.

"I'm on your dad's side, right?" Wu Yuchen said with a smile, then ignored her and went straight out the door.

This sight made Li Xiaoran so angry that she punched the pillow twice. Why was her little brother so different today?
She's become more eloquent than before, and her deceptions are quite convincing. The key issue is that people don't listen to her anymore!

On the way back, Wu Yuchen was also thinking about what had happened today. He knew that Boss Lu had been following them all along, specifically bringing him here to take a look. Unless that guy was too crazy, he should have given up by now.

However, when he thought about Li Xiaoran's past life, he realized that around this time, maybe two or three months later, she suddenly resigned from the Oriental Song and Dance Troupe. At the time, she didn't even tell her family, so Wu Yuchen had no idea why.

But when I asked her just now, she said she hadn't thought about changing careers. Logically speaking, it's impossible for her to resign voluntarily in such a short period of time.

Wu Yuchen felt that it might still be related to today's incident, so he tried to force her to come home every day, hoping that nothing would go wrong.
