Chinese entertainment: Top stars started being pursued by young actresses

Chapter 127, Section 126: Zhang Ruonan: We've already kissed, you can't ignore me.
Zhang Ruonan felt empty inside, as if she had been abandoned.

She knew in her heart that she didn't hold much weight.

"Sigh. Maybe I'm just not famous enough."

Zhang Ruonan leaned against the wall, looking slightly sad.

Did their relationship really end after the movie was filmed?

"Ding dong."

"Um?!"

When Zhang Ruonan heard her phone ring, she quickly opened the page and found that it was a message from Lin Shaobai.

Okay. I'm currently filming in Beijing. You can come find me here.

"Great!"

Zhang Ruonan was so excited that she shouted it out.

At this moment, the employees passing by her all looked at her with strange eyes.

What is she doing?

"do not know."

"Maybe this is how they attract attention."

"I don't understand."

Zhang Ruonan covered her face again, feeling embarrassed, and quietly left the company.

The following evening, Zhang Ruonan brought her things to Lin Shaobai's villa in Beijing.

This villa is really big.

Zhang Ruonan couldn't take her eyes off the house from the moment she entered. She wondered if this was the kind of house rich people lived in.
Lin Shaobai is currently at home looking at the program schedule for the Double 11 Gala in a few days.

He was invited to sing two songs, "Quietly" and "Undyed," as a singer.

After Zhang Ruonan came in, she placed a large pile of things she had bought in front of Lin Shaobai.

"It's been a long time. This is a gift I bought for you."

Zhang Ruonan gave Lin Shaobai a sweet smile.

Lin Shaobai: "Oh. Thank you."

Zhang Ruonan: "Have you been very busy lately?"

"It's quite busy. Besides filming, I also have to prepare for the Double 11 Gala. It's always busier at the end of the year."

"Oh..." Zhang Ruonan hesitated for a moment before fixing her hair: "I, I'm pretty free. I don't have a job. I'm just like what they call 'picking my toes at home'."

Lin Shaobai was taken aback: "You don't have a job?"

Zhang Ruonan: "Yeah. The movie was a bit of a hit for a while, but now it's faded away. It was just... it only had some buzz at the time, and now it's not really popular anymore. I didn't seize the opportunity."

To be precise, she had no resources, no connections, and no good scripts or resources to offer her.

It's just so realistic.

Zhang Ruonan: "Actually, I've thought about it for a long time, and you're the only one who's willing to protect and help me, whether on set or in..."

Lin Shaobai stopped what he was doing and looked at her seriously: "So what do you want me to help you with this time?"

Zhang Ruonan was startled.

Did you think the conversation between the two of them would progress to the main storyline so quickly?

Are you not even going to do any side quests?!
"I thought you were ignoring me."

Zhang Ruonan first changed the subject.

Lin Shaobai: "..."

Zhang Ruonan watched Lin Shaobai walk away without saying a word: "We've kissed, we've done *that*, you...you can't ignore me!"

She mustered her courage and said to Lin Shaobai.

She didn't hesitate, and then she threw herself into Lin Shaobai's arms.

Zhang Ruonan has always been like this; she likes to throw herself into his arms while they're talking.

This personality trait hasn't changed.

Lin Shaobai was stunned for a moment when he looked at Zhang Ruonan in his arms, then reached out and hugged her.

"Just tell me, what do you need my help with?"

"..."

"Say or not?"

Why are you suddenly so serious?

No. I was just asking you, wasn't I?

After thinking for a moment, Zhang Ruonan said, "I was wondering if I could ask for an endorsement deal?"

"Endorsement?"

"Female celebrities all have beauty product endorsements... Could you help me out, maybe become a brand ambassador or something?"

"Or do you have any good TV shows you could recommend?"

Zhang Ruonan had only these two thoughts in mind, and she told Lin Shaobai them both at once.

Lin Shaobai looked up at the ceiling, thought for a few seconds, and then said, "Okay, I agree to help you." Zhang Ruonan blinked her big eyes: "Huh?"

Lin Shaobai: "Mm."

Zhang Ruonan: "..."

She hadn't expected things to go so smoothly.

They agreed immediately?

Isn't this too fast?

I originally thought it would be a long and complicated process.

Zhang Ruonan: "Really?"

Lin Shaobai nodded: "Of course. I promise to help you."

"That's great, thank you!!"

Zhang Ruonan hugged Lin Shaobai even tighter.

As it got later, the two of them quickly washed up and went to bed.

In the middle of the night, Zhang Ruonan turned over and looked at Lin Shaobai.

She even reached out and pinched his cheek.

Perhaps it's because we haven't seen each other for so long that I miss him so much.

Just now, Zhang Ruonan made Lin Shaobai feel her intense loneliness during this period.

A few seconds later, Lin Shaobai woke up and stared at her: "Why aren't you sleeping?"

Zhang Ruonan lay down beside her: "Look at you. We haven't seen each other for so long since the movie finished filming. Don't you miss me?"

"think."

"Why don't you come looking for me? Is it because you think I'm not famous enough? Do you all only hang out with the famous ones?"

"No." Lin Shaobai smiled helplessly.

"Anyway...anyway, you remember to help me."

"Huh? Help with what?"

Lin Shaobai was teasing her on purpose.

Zhang Ruonan's face immediately turned very aggrieved.

"You promised to help me. A promise is a promise. You can't lie to me."

Lin Shaobai: "..."

Seeing that Lin Shaobai didn't react, Zhang Ruonan quickly patted Lin Shaobai's chest again: "Help me. Please? Look...look at me...I..."

"It's alright, nothing's wrong." Lin Shaobai thought that the joke should end there.

He gently stroked Zhang Ruonan's face.

Zhang Ruonan was moved by such gentleness.

This feeling reminded her of when she was being bullied during filming, and Lin Shaobai stood in front of her.

Even though they weren't particularly close, Lin Shaobai was still willing to speak up for her.

Zhang Ruonan was genuinely moved.

"I feel very lucky."

Zhang Ruonan lowered her eyes and looked at Lin Shaobai.

His tone was gentle and affectionate, drawing the listener in completely.

Lin Shaobai: "Hmm?"

Zhang Ruonan moved closer to Lin Shaobai: "I'm so lucky to have met you while filming a movie, and to have fallen for you at that time. Actually... that's enough."

"Really thank you very much."

"I haven't even gotten anything done yet, and you're already so grateful? Aren't you afraid I'll change my mind halfway through?"

“You’re not that kind of person.” Zhang Ruonan laughed, slightly annoyed, and gently ran her hand across Lin Shaobai’s nose. “I believe you. You’re not that kind of person at all.”

"You don't know me very well. I like to lie."

"Come on."

After Zhang Ruonan finished speaking, she lay down in Lin Shaobai's arms.

Actually, there's something I've been keeping from you.

"What?"

"I really enjoy hugging you."

Zhang Ruonan said shyly.

After she finished speaking, she felt a little embarrassed and buried her head in the pillow.

"Just listen for a moment, that's all I'll say... Go to sleep."

"puff."

"Hey, don't laugh!"
