Entertainment: I am the peak

Chapter 123 Are you here?

Of course, the parents did not say that they did not trust Li Qiutang, but they thought that Li Qiutang could pursue other girls.

As for pursuing other girls, it’s not that he thinks Li Qiutang and Liu Yifei are not suitable, but he thinks Li Qiutang will have a better chance of pursuing other girls.

Liu Yifei looks like a rich lady who has grown up with a rich family and has seen a lot of the world. It is not easy to pursue such a girl.

But the parents still encouraged their son to take action.

"If you like someone, chase him. But don't be too sad if you can't catch up with him."

If Li Qiutang said she wanted to pursue Liu Yifei when she was 30, her parents would definitely object, because at 30, she can't be hurt anymore. If she pursues such an illusory fairy sister, it would be fine if she succeeds, but if she fails, she will be heartbroken and it may take a long time to heal.

But Li Qiutang is only 25 years old now. Even if she can't catch up with Liu Yifei, delaying for two or three years won't be a big deal.

Li Qiutang was not just talking. After sending her parents on the train home, Li Qiutang thought about it alone for a few days.

He and Liu Yifei knew each other when they were in school, but they were never very close. They were just acquaintances when they were studying.

On the contrary, after graduation, Liu Yifei developed very well in those two years, and Li Qiutang was also about to start filming a movie, so the two met often and gradually became familiar with each other.

During the time when Liu Yifei was experiencing online violence, Li Qiutang felt very angry for the girl and thought that Liu Yifei must have committed a heinous crime that deserved such smears and rumors from the outside world.

Later, he gradually became famous, and the two of them were in the same circle, so they had more opportunities to meet, and they gradually regained their friendship as classmates.

Li Qiutang thought about it carefully, when did she fall in love with Liu Yifei?
It must have been that night on the beach on the Gold Coast.

Love at first sight?

Inaccurate. The two knew each other for a long time, and it is possible that during their past interactions, Li Qiutang had developed a vague affection for Liu Yifei, but he just didn't realize it.

He only realized that it was quite comfortable to get along with Liu Yifei.

Until that night on the Gold Coast.

Is there any element of pity and sympathy?
Li Qiutang faced his heart and couldn't say no. That night, he saw a girl who was usually so beautiful and generous getting drunk late at night, lying in his arms and crying, saying that she liked acting but no one wanted her now, and he really felt distressed.

But can’t “liking” include pity and sympathy?
Who doesn’t feel pity for his or her loved one?
Li Qiutang thought about it for a few days, but he didn't figure out anything else. He just wanted to understand one thing: he really liked Liu Yifei and he wanted to protect her.

Having lived two lifetimes, Li Qiutang is not at all shy about feelings, and even at this age, he always speaks and acts openly and honestly.

If you like someone, pursue him/her boldly as long as he/she is not already taken.

If you can't catch up, at most you'll be scolded and people will say you're a toad wanting to eat swan flesh. But who would think that someone who pursues boldly and sincerely is a clown?

Besides, Li Qiutang’s conditions are not bad either.

He is 183cm tall, and although he is not muscular, he has a good figure; his appearance cannot be compared with that of handsome male actors, but at least he is handsome and stylish; as for his talent, he believes he has some; as for wealth, if he wants to spend it, he can take out three or five hundred million; and he is doing a good job at work.

With such conditions, he wouldn't be a bad match for any girl.

I just don't know what kind of guy Liu Yifei likes. If she likes someone with a higher education, does Li Qiutang, who only has a bachelor's degree, have to go back to school to study for another two years?
Facing one's true inner thoughts is one thing, but when it comes to actually sending a message to Liu Yifei to say hello, Li Qiutang starts to hesitate again. What should he say?

Li Qiutang saw that Liu Yifei's profile picture was lit on Penguin and sent a message:

"Are you there?"

…………

It has been five days since Li Qiutang and her family left Australia, and Liu Yifei feels empty inside.

At first, she thought she had no one to play with, but after Li Qiutang left, some people approached her and wanted to play with her, but she refused. Now she either sits in the hotel cafe and reads for half a day, or lies on the beach and reads for half a day.

I say I read a book, but I can only read a few pages a day. My mind is either blank or I am thinking about other things.

I still think of Li Qiutang occasionally, but only occasionally.

Li Qiutang is a nice person, except that he is sometimes harsh and too direct in his words, which can easily offend people. But this is probably not a big flaw, at least Liu Yifei doesn't think it is a flaw.

Liu Yifei also thought that Li Qiutang was a very interesting person. She didn't know why, but the same thing, when spoken by Li Qiutang, made her laugh. It might be because Li Qiutang's Northeastern dialect was inherently funny.

It is such a fate that we can meet in Australia during the Chinese New Year.

There was only one bad thing, she got drunk and was picked up by Li Qiutang.

It must be very ugly when drunk. Now Li Qiutang saw his ugly appearance, which is really embarrassing.

Liu Yifei vaguely remembered what she said when she was drunk, something about fate or something.

But thinking back now, she was certain that she had heard Li Qiutang say that she wanted to invite her to act in a movie.

This must be to comfort her while she is drunk, don't take it seriously.

But Liu Yifei also knew clearly that Li Qiutang was writing a new script called "In Time".

She is unemployed now, and she wants to try to get an opportunity from Li Qiutang.

But what's going on with that empty feeling in my heart?
"I...I guess I like him?" Liu Yifei thought secretly.

Of course not, how could I like him!

At the age of 22, Liu Yifei has already become smart and has also fantasized about what her other half would be like.

First of all, she is not a beauty-conscious person, and good looks are not the main point for her. Li Qiutang is not a handsome guy, but he is also good-looking. However, he works behind the scenes, so looks don’t seem to be that important to him.

Secondly, the person she likes must support her acting. Li Qiutang is a director, and an excellent professional director, so he can certainly understand the needs of professional actors.

Again, Liu Yifei likes men who are more manly. Li Qiutang is tall and strong, and looks quite manly.

In addition, he is so talented that he can make such an excellent movie right after graduation.

Got it!

The more Liu Yifei thought about it, the more she felt that Li Qiutang met her requirements for a partner.

"I'm not really in love with him, am I?"

"Will not."

"I'm only 22 years old. I want to focus on filming more and don't have that much time to think about love."

Speaking of work, Liu Yifei thought of the story of "In Time" that Li Qiutang was working on. She had read that story and felt that it was not bad just by looking at the outline.

I also admire Li Qiutang very much. I wonder how he came up with such a story.

Ask him now, he said he started working on this project when he returned to China, and asked him if he could give him an audition opportunity.

At this moment, the Penguin number on Liu Yifei's computer rang. Li Qiutang (Directing Class 02): "Are you there?"
