Entertainment: I am the peak

Chapter 154 We Can Try
Even though Li Qiutang can analyze characters very clearly when explaining a play to actors, when he encounters problems himself, he is unable to analyze and cannot see through them.

He couldn't see through Liu Yifei now and didn't know what she was thinking.

After asking her for a vague reply last time to no avail, on the one hand, Li Qiutang was indeed too busy with work and had no time or energy to "date" Liu Yifei. The two only kept in touch through text messages and Penguin. On the other hand, Li Qiutang was also reflecting on their relationship. Was he wishful thinking over the past few months?

But during these few months, he could feel that Liu Yifei had a good impression of him.

This is not narcissism, I can really feel it.

So he went to the banquet after the meeting today.

I put on makeup today. This was Li Qiutang's first thought after she sat down and saw Liu Yifei.

There was nothing special to talk about when Liu Yifei invited Li Qiutang to dinner, they just chatted as usual.

It's quite relaxing to eat and drink at the same time.

Li Qiutang didn't explain anything. He told Liu Yifei that he was very busy recently. He had two movies, one had been released and the other was about to start shooting. There were ten thousand things waiting for him to do every day.

Liu Yifei naturally didn't say much.

Both of them had something on their minds, and in the end it was Li Qiutang who spoke first. After pursuing her for nearly half a year, there must be an answer as to whether she was dead or alive.

"My mother called me yesterday and said she wanted to introduce me to a blind date." This is when I have to use my mother as a tool.

"How old are you and you're already on a blind date?" Liu Yifei felt the most strange and amusing thing after hearing this.

“I was born in 84,” Li Qiutang said, “My mother gave birth to me when she was 20 years old.” She then went on to talk about the blind date, “My mother said that the other party was studying at Yenching University, the same age as me, and is studying for a doctorate this year.” This girl really existed and was not made up by Li Qiutang.

"Doctor, you're amazing." It seems like she hasn't realized the problem yet.

"I said I won't meet her," Li Qiutang started to play it straight. He felt that if he continued to test her vaguely like last time, Liu Yifei would probably fool him. "I said I have a girl I like and have been pursuing her for several months. I asked her not to introduce me to blind dates."

Liu Yifei stopped talking. She didn't expect Li Qiutang to be so direct.

Li Qiutang continued, "But, the girl I'm pursuing, I don't know if she's really stupid or just pretending to be stupid, she hasn't responded to me yet."

Liu Yifei said: "I'm not stupid."

Li Qiutang said: "You also know that you are not stupid."

"I...I..." Liu Yifei was speechless again.

"It's been almost half a year since I came back from Australia. I don't believe your heart is made of iron," Li Qiutang looked at Liu Yifei, who was holding a water cup in her hand without a manicure. "Give me a word on whether it will work or not."

Liu Yifei was silent for a long time. She felt shy, helpless, and afraid. After two long minutes, Liu Yifei finally said, "What I said on the show is true. I like you..."

Li Qiutang was naturally happy to hear this. Does this count as an agreement?

But Liu Yifei added: "But I'm not ready for a relationship. I don't know how to have a relationship."

"What else can you do when you're in love?" It was the first time that Li Qiutang heard this statement.

"How about you try chasing her for another two months?"

"I won't pursue her anymore." Li Qiutang was still emotional. She had been pursuing her for more than four to five months.

"Go ahead and chase me. I've never been chased by anyone before."

"Are you kidding me? Have you never been pursued by anyone?" Who would believe that no one is pursuing such a beautiful girl?

"I'm not lying to you. No one has ever pursued me since I was a child. Playing house in kindergarten doesn't count." Liu Yifei said, "You are the first one."

After talking it out, Liu Yifei felt relieved.

But this was obviously not the result Li Qiutang wanted: "Then how do I tell my mom that I didn't catch her?"

"It can be said that I didn't succeed." Liu Yifei liked the man opposite her and was unwilling to give him to another woman.

"What do you mean by not catching up?" Li Qiutang asked, "Yes, yes. No, no."

Liu Yifei knew that this was very unfair to Li Qiutang, but she really didn't know how to deal with her personal relationship problems, so she said, "I like you and want to be with you, but I don't know how to be a competent girlfriend."

Seeing that Li Qiutang didn't say anything, she knew that such an answer obviously would not satisfy him, so she made perhaps the most important suggestion in her 22 years of life second only to pursuing a career as an actor: "We... can give it a try, just try to talk about it. I don't know if I can do it well." Liu Yifei is usually a very generous and open-minded person, so why did she become shy and entangled when faced with this kind of problem?

What is this? Catching my fish?

But Li Qiutang knew that this might be the most satisfactory answer she could give him.

If a girl agrees to give it a try, it basically means she has agreed. Li Qiutang did not ask Liu Yifei to nod and say, "I am willing to be your girlfriend."

It seems difficult for her to say this at the moment.

So, Liu Yifei should be considered his girlfriend now, right?

Li Qiutang tried to hold Liu Yifei's hand, but she dodged him: "What are you doing?"

"You won't even let your date hold your hand?"

Liu Yifei thought about it and felt that this made sense, so she extended her hand to Li Qiutang.

Liu Yifei had held hands with male actors during filming before, and she thought there should be little difference between being held by Li Qiutang and being held by a male actor.

But she was wrong. The moment Li Qiutang held her hand, her mind went blank, followed by a tingling sensation.

She is not someone who knows nothing. This feeling should be the feeling of crazy dopamine secretion, right? This is the feeling of being in love, right?

After the tingling sensation, Liu Yifei felt much better, but her heart was still pounding.

She was still blaming herself in her heart. After all, she was a veteran actor. It was just holding hands. What was the big deal?

Li Qiutang held Liu Yifei's hand and walked to the parking lot.

Liu Yifei felt the sweat in Li Qiutang's hands, and Li Qiutang also knew that Liu Yifei was sweating.

"Still holding on? I want to get in the car." Liu Yifei said with a smile.

Li Qiutang let go of her hand and said, "Don't drive next time. I'll pick you up."

Liu Yifei asked, "Aren't you afraid of being photographed?"

"I should be the one saying this. I'm a director, and being photographed won't have any impact on me. Are you afraid?"

"I haven't taken any roles for more than one to two years. I'm out of fashion now and no one wants to film me." She is quite open-minded about it.

Li Qiutang watched her drive away before she got in the car and left.

Today's result was satisfactory. Although Liu Yifei was stubborn and just said that she would try to get along with him, she finally agreed.

While still in the car, Liu Yifei called Li Qiutang, who was also still driving.

"What? You miss me after only 10 minutes of separation?" Li Qiutang said flirtatiously.

"Go to hell." Liu Yifei scolded with a smile, "Tell me, does this count as the director's unspoken rule against the actress?"

Li Qiutang: ???

Does anyone know how her brain works?!
Liu Yifei herself also laughed: "This is very fitting. The director gave the actress a role and then asked the actress to be his girlfriend."

Li Qiutang said: "I am upright, why am I hiding?"

Liu Yifei was just joking and hung up the phone after saying a few words.

At night, Liu Yifei lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep, and kept thinking about a question.

"What does it feel like to be in a relationship? How do you become someone's girlfriend?"

I couldn’t sleep, so I got up and opened my computer to search: How to be a good girlfriend.

　The plot of chasing girls is not well written, the author lacks relevant experience. The daily love life is the author's comfort zone, so he can write freely.
