The Common Man's Return in Chinese Entertainment

"Clang, clang, Qingxu, long time no see."

"Sister Xiaolu, it's been a long time."

"Qingxu, you've really made something of yourself! You've even been on the Spring Festival Gala stage, while your sister Xiaolu has never been on one."

"Hehe, I'm lucky."

"This is no luck. Back then, you were my martial arts instructor. I never imagined that you would be on the Spring Festival Gala in just a few years. You're really amazing."

Hearing Li Milu's praise, Ji Qingxu smiled and changed the subject, "What brings you to Beijing Film Academy today, Sister Xiaolu?"

Li Milu explained with a smile, "I have two dramas airing recently, and I just happened to be back in Beijing to promote them. After the promotion, I came here to wish Aunt Wang Chunzhi a belated Happy New Year."

Upon hearing the homeroom teacher's name, Ji Qingxu asked curiously, "You know our homeroom teacher?"

Li Milu replied with a smile, "Of course I know her. I've known her since I was a child. Aunt Wang Chunzhi and my mother have been good friends for a long time."

Upon hearing this, Ji Qingxu instantly understood and felt a sense of admiration. These "second-generation entertainers" were indeed different. They knew some seniors and big shots in the industry from a young age, and they had acquaintances everywhere after entering the industry. No wonder they were all doing so well.

"So, Sister Xiaolu came to see me today to wish me a belated Happy New Year?"

Hearing Ji Qingxu's joke, Li Milu smiled and said, "Yes, I came to wish you a Happy New Year. Are you going to treat me to a meal?"

Ji Qingxu stared at Li Milu for a few moments, then smiled. "Okay, no problem. What would you like to eat, Little Deer Sister?"

"Hmm... How about hot pot? It's a bit cold today, let's have some hot pot to warm ourselves up."

"Okay, shall we go now?"

"Let's go now, how about Donglaishun?"

"it is good."

"Let's go to the parking lot first, my car is over there."

Upon arriving at the parking lot, Ji Qingxu raised an eyebrow upon seeing Li Milu's car: a Volkswagen Golf. Li Milu's choice was rather unconventional.

These hatchbacks aren't very popular these days, and they're also fuel-inefficient, so they're not commonly seen on Beijing roads.

"Qingxu, can you drive?"

"meeting."

"How about you drive?"

"Isn't Sister Lu worried about my driving skills?"

"Hey, as long as nothing goes wrong, drive however you want."

"Okay, I'll do it."

After opening the car door, Ji Qingxu adjusted the seat before sitting down.

Seeing this, Li Milu gently licked her lips. "Qingxu, your body seems stronger than before?"

Ji Qingxu chuckled and replied, "Maybe it's still in the developmental stage."

Watching Ji Qingxu skillfully start the car, Li Milu smiled and said, "Look at you, so modest. You're more skilled than me."

"I just got my driver's license, so I might be a little more familiar with it. Are you seated comfortably?"

"Wait a minute, let me turn on the heat and take off my clothes. This coat is too thick and uncomfortable to wear."

Seeing Li Milu take off her cotton-padded coat and put it behind her, revealing that she was only wearing a thin U-neck black sweater, Ji Qingxu glanced at her unusually fair skin, smiled, and stepped on the gas.

......

"How about having a drink?"

As soon as they sat down, Li Milu asked this question. Ji Qingxu smiled and replied, "Aren't you going to take care of the car?"

"It's okay, I'll just book a room at a nearby hotel."

"Okay, then I'll have a drink with Sister Xiaolu. Just so you know, I'm not a big drinker."

Hearing this, a hint of joy flashed through Li Milu's heart. "Then it's okay if we share a bottle, right?"

"Okay, I'll listen to Sister Lu."

"Don't worry, I won't get you drunk. If you can't drink it all, leave it for me."

"Sister Xiaolu is truly a heroine among women."

"Haha, thank goodness, my alcohol tolerance is only so-so."

After the hot pot was served, the two filled their glasses with wine. Before they even started picking at the food, Li Milu smiled and raised her glass, "Come on, Qingxu, it's been years since we last met, let's have a toast."

Upon hearing this, Ji Qingxu smiled and raised his glass. "Cheers!"

"Cheers."

After the two clinked glasses, Ji Qingxu saw Li Milu gulp down a third of the drink. A subtle smile curved his lips. Wow, he'd met a top-tier player today.

Seeing Li Milu smiling and staring at him after finishing her drink, Ji Qingxu pursed his lips and drank a third of it as well.

Seeing Ji Qingxu's face turn bright red after taking a deep breath, Li Milu was overjoyed but then asked with concern, "Qingxu, are you alright?"

Ji Qingxu smiled and withdrew his hands from behind his back. "It's alright, this little bit of wine is fine."

"Are you really alright?"

Ji Qingxu replied without hesitation, "It's nothing."

"Then let's drink slowly later. We don't have anything else to do, so let's drink slowly."

"it is good."

"Come on, eat some vegetables, have some vegetables to relax."

"it is good."

After finishing her drink, Li Milu noticed Ji Qingxu rubbing her eyes, looking a little dazed. She rolled her eyes and asked, "Qingxu, can you drink more?"

Ji Qingxu said with a smile, "Sure, it's not proper to only have one drink with Sister Xiaolu. As the saying goes, good things come in pairs, let's continue."

"it is good."

Seeing that Ji Qingxu did not refuse, Li Milu happily picked up the wine bottle and poured wine. After pouring two glasses of wine, the bottle was empty.

Li Milu shook the empty bottle and said with a smile, "Let's finish this cup and then we won't drink anymore."

Ji Qingxu said cheerfully, "Okay."

"Here, have a sip."

"Dry!"

......

"Qingxu, come on, let's have a drink together."

"Okay, let's do it."

After Ji Qingxu finished speaking, he picked up the beer bottle and started drinking. Seeing this, Li Milu also laughed and picked up the beer bottle to drink as well.

"Allibotie, GOGOGO!"

Hearing the noise around him, Ji Qingxu couldn't help but want to pick his ears. Damn, it's been so long since I've been to a place like this. I'm still a little out of sorts.

Out of the corner of his eye, Ji Qingxu glanced at Li Milu and smirked. This woman was truly treacherous. They had agreed to drink only one bottle, but after dinner, she insisted on saying that she hadn't seen her in a long time and was very happy today, so she wanted to come to the bar to take a look.

With Li Milu clinging to his arm and waving it around affectionately, Ji Qingxu, who was already quite tipsy, followed her lead and ended up at a bar in Sanlitun.

Glancing at Zhang Zhong sitting not far away, Ji Qingxu put down the wine bottle and stood up. "Sister Xiaolu, I'm going to the restroom."

Seeing Ji Qingxu staggering towards the outside, Li Milu quickly got up and grabbed him, "Wait, I'll take you there. You don't know where it is."

Ji Qingxu paused for a moment and then nodded. "Okay."

"I'm just grabbing something."

Seeing Li Milu pick up a pack of wet wipes from the table, Ji Qingxu laughed. This woman, alright, I'll have a good spar with you today. I've been eating too much during the New Year and I'm feeling quite irritated.

After the two entered the restroom, they saw Li Milu follow them in. Ji Qingxu smirked, then quickly turned her head and blinked, "Sister Xiaolu, what brings you in?"

Li Milu pursed her lips and smiled sweetly, "I'm afraid you'll get lost, let me help you."

Seeing Li Milu come closer after speaking, Ji Qingxu raised his eyebrows, thinking, "You asked for this."

......

An hour later, the two returned to their booth.

"Qingxu, are you lying to Sister Xiaolu? You're not drunk at all."

Seeing Li Milu limp and clinging to him coquettishly, Ji Qingxu scratched his head and said, "Little Deer Sister, is the alcohol in this bar too fake? It feels like drinking water to me. My head doesn't feel so dizzy after drinking it for a while."

After carefully examining Ji Qingxu, and recalling the situation just now, Li Milu realized that she had been the one taking the initiative at first, and that he hadn't shown any tenderness towards her at all. She knew without even looking that he must be covered in bruises. Thinking about the drinks at the bar, Li Milu playfully punched Ji Qingxu, "You can't treat Sister Xiaolu like that next time. Sister Xiaolu is in pain all over now."

Upon hearing this, Ji Qingxu said apologetically, "Sister Xiaolu, I'm really sorry. You know I practice martial arts, and I don't know how to control myself."

Upon hearing this, Li Milu instinctively hugged Ji Qingxu tightly, "It's okay, just be more careful next time."

At this point, Li Milu leaned close to Ji Qingxu's ear and whispered, "Actually, Sister Xiaolu is also very happy."

Hearing this, Ji Qingxu's lips twitched. Of course I know you like it. Just now you were singing loudly in the bathroom, and people outside couldn't help but "kindly remind" you.

It has to be said that Li Milu is really fun to be around; she has a kind of crazy vibe, which makes Ji Qingxu feel very good.

"Sister Lu, shall we go back or continue drinking?"

"Sit down for a bit, let me catch my breath, and get me a beer."

"it is good."

After sitting for about an hour, Ji Qingxu left the bar with Li Milu in his arms.

......

"Carry me inside so we can take a bath together."

"it is good."

As soon as Ji Qingxu entered the hotel room, before he could even look around, Li Milu pounced on him and hugged him.

Seeing this, Ji Qingxu smiled and picked her up, walking towards the bathroom while looking around the room. Seeing the room's decor, Ji Qingxu raised an eyebrow. This woman, did she plan this before going to Beijing Film Academy? Ji Qingxu guessed that the room's decor must have cost at least a thousand.

Tsk, women are indeed no different from men; they always prepare in advance if they want to do something good.

Ji Qingxu glanced at Li Milu in his arms, then smiled and walked into the bathroom.

......

Two hours later, looking at Li Milu lying asleep on the bed, Ji Qingxu bent down to examine her carefully. After the examination, Ji Qingxu straightened up and breathed a sigh of relief.

It's not broken!

Ji Qingxu glanced at her with a smile, picked up his coat from the bed, walked out of the bedroom, took out a pack of cigarettes, lit one, and took out a cigarette.

Although Li Milu had a bad reputation in later generations, she was excellent in both appearance and figure. Even though she was less than 160 cm tall, her bones were small and she was curvaceous.

Given Ji Qingxu's height and physique, he was incredibly happy holding her just now. Moreover, Ji Qingxu had no intention of showing any tenderness towards her and treated her to train lunches for over an hour, which the woman thoroughly enjoyed.

Smiling, Ji Qingxu glanced at the bedroom and thought that this woman would definitely continue to come to him in the future. Even if she would be unable to walk for the next week, Ji Qingxu felt that Li Milu was just into this kind of thing. So Ji Qingxu decided to let nature take its course. Anyway, he didn't have to take responsibility. It wouldn't be bad to have such an open-minded woman as a spice in his life.

......

On March 8th, Ji Qingxu's first leading role in the TV series "Ping Zong Xia Ying" premiered on Southern TV. However, Ji Qingxu, who was studying in Beijing, did not have the opportunity to see his performance because his TV could not find the channel.

Ji Qingxu inquired and found out that the channel was only available in Guangdong Province and surrounding areas where Cantonese is spoken, which made Ji Qingxu feel a bit annoyed.

Meanwhile, Ciwen and Zhang Jizong's collaborative project, "The Return of the Condor Heroes," encountered some disagreements.
