Chapter 225 223. Xiaoli moving to a new home

The wind continues to blow, I can't bear to stay away, my heart is very longing, longing to be with you.

The taxi driver turned the radio knob and changed the radio station.

It was a bit stuffy in the taxi, and the driver was reluctant to turn on the air conditioner. Fan Xiaopang could only roll down the window and let the hot evening breeze blow in.

Fan Xiaopang's silky hair was blown wildly by the wind, and the tips of the hair crossed Chen Li'an's face and neck, leaving only a faint fragrance, and then was taken away by the wind.

Fan Xiaopang quickly smoothed his hair and smiled sheepishly at Chen Li'an. His round little face was very cute.

Chen Li'an watched the loose hair around her ears flying in the evening breeze, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth unconsciously.

It’s so beautiful, no wonder it dominates the audience everywhere.

Fan Xiaopang felt a little shy when Chen Li'an looked at him, and his fingers on his thighs twisted together unconsciously.

Chen Li'an glanced at it, smiled, and then looked away. He didn't want to be misunderstood as a weirdo.

Hmm. The age gap is not that big, not counting uncles, otherwise there would be a gap in seniority.

After Chen Li'an withdrew his gaze, Fan Xiaopang breathed a sigh of relief. After secretly glancing at Chen Li'an from the corner of his eye, he subconsciously loosened his fingers.

It’s stressful to be stared at by a handsome guy

After a while, the car arrived at the entrance of the Normal University. Chen Li'an turned his head and glanced at Fan Xiaopang, who was looking for money in his schoolbag, and took out his wallet from his pocket to pay the fare.

After Fan Xiaopang saw Chen Li'an paying the money, he hesitated for a while and took back the wallet he just took out.

After getting off the bus, Fan Xiaopang put his schoolbag on his back. Looking at Chen Li'an who was looking around, he mustered up his courage and said, "You paid for the bus just now. I'll treat you to dinner."

Chen Li'an, who was looking for a hotel, looked back at Fan Xiaopang, raised his eyebrows and said, "Why do I feel that you are afraid of me? Are you really planning to treat me to dinner?"

Fan Xiaopang shook his head violently and nodded, just like the feeling of a young girl in love facing her secret crush.

Fan Xiaopang was very upset. His performance today was so bad, nothing like him at all.

When I saw Ning Jing before, I dared to run over to ask for her autograph, but now I feel a little nervous when facing Chen Li'an.

"Forget it, you can treat me to dinner next time you have a chance." Chen Li'an looked at the somewhat bewildered Fan Xiaopang and said, "I have something to do tonight, so I'll leave first. I'll see you next time."

The main reason is that Fan Xiaopang is too young now, and Chen Li'an always feels like he is teasing a child, which is not interesting.

Seeing Chen Li'an turning away, Fan Xiaopang rubbed his round face, pursed his lips and chased after him.

"Can you give me your phone number?"

Chen Li'an stopped and turned to look at Fan Xiaopang who was chasing after him. He sighed inwardly. He was planning to leave the Air Force, so why are you still catching up?

It's very difficult for Chen Diao Li'an to be like this.

Forget it, let’s just spread the bait and wait until the fish grows up before lifting the rod.

Chen Li'an looked at Fan Xiaopang and said, "Do you have paper and pen?"

"Yes!" Fan Xiaopang immediately took out a pen and paper from the bag behind him and handed it to Chen Li'an.

Chen Li'an took it and quickly wrote the number on it, then handed it to Fan Xiaopang and said, "Write your contact information to me."

"Yeah" Fan Xiaopang blushed inexplicably, took the book and wrote the number, then carefully tore it off and handed it to Chen Li'an.

Chen Li'an took it and took a look. It contained the phone number of his dormitory and his home phone number. He even thoughtfully wrote down what time he could receive the call.

Chen Li'an glanced at the attentive Fan Xiaopang with some surprise. He was so good at doing things at the age of fifteen, which was much better than the cute Li Dabai.

No wonder he became prosperous later on. Chen Li'an folded the piece of paper and put it in his pocket, waved at Fan Xiaopang and left.

All she was left with was a graceful figure leaving in the sunset.

"He looks like the leading actor in a movie." Fan Xiaopang said to himself as he looked at Chen Li'an's leaving figure.

Fan Xiaopang suddenly remembered a sentence: when he saw Yang Guo, he lost his life

Hey, so shameful! Fatty! Be more reserved!

Fan Xiaopang took a deep breath, glanced at Chen Li'an one last time, put on his schoolbag, turned around and walked towards the school.

Ten minutes later, Chen Li'an was lying on the big bed in the hotel, still a little unable to sleep.

It's lonely to sleep alone. It's a pity that Zhou Jie has gone abroad, otherwise she would have gone dancing.

Chen Li'an turned his head and glanced at the note on the bedside table with Fan Xiaopang's contact information, picked it up and recorded it on his phone, then threw the note into the trash can.

Thinking of Fan Xiaopang, Chen Li'an suddenly thought of returning the pearl, so he immediately sat up from the bed and wanted to call Beauty Chen so that she could have time to pay attention.

If I remember correctly, Huanzhu was not taken seriously by Qiong Yao, and the funds for Huanzhu were broken halfway through the filming. If you have the opportunity in the future, you can participate.

Although I don't like this stupid Yao drama, it makes money.

However, when Chen Li'an turned to Chen Meiren's phone number, he put the phone down again. It was better not to feel uncomfortable at this time. If you call her, you will definitely ask questions.

Chen Li'an threw his cell phone aside and closed his eyes to prepare for forced sleep. However, before he felt sleepy, his cell phone rang.

The person who called Chen Li'an was Liu Xiaoli. She was now in the house that Chen Li'an bought.

Liu Xiaoli glanced at Li Dabai who was playing with Qian Qian in the living room, and walked into the bedroom with her cell phone.

The phone rang a few times before being picked up. Listening to Chen Li'an's tired voice on the other end of the phone, Liu Xiaoli subconsciously slowed down her speech and asked gently: "Are you busy? Are you tired recently?"

Chen Li'an leaned on the bed and hummed, rubbed his temples and asked, "Have you gone to see the house? Do you like it?"

"The house is very good." Liu Xiaoli responded, and then said: "When will you come back, I want to talk to you."

Chen Li'an said directly without answering Liu Xiaoli: "If you like you, then live with Qian Qian first, and I will transfer the ownership to you when I go back."

"Ah? Transfer of ownership?" Liu Xiaoli was stunned for a moment. Some of the questions she originally wanted to ask were instantly forgotten. She subconsciously glanced at the luxuriously decorated bedroom, hesitated and said, "Let's talk about it when you come back, I"

"I may not go back for a few days." Chen Li'an directly interrupted Liu Xiaoli's words and said in a slower tone: "There is a gift from me in the cabinet in the bedroom. I hope you like it. I have something else to do here, so I'll go first. Bye."

Liu Xiaoli subconsciously turned her head and glanced at the white lacquered retro cabinet beside the bed. Just as she was about to say something, she heard a busy signal from the other end of the phone.

Listening to the busy signal on the phone, Liu Xiaoli felt a flash of frustration in her heart, wondering why she couldn't find the rhythm at all just now.

Li Dabai, who was deliberately playing one-two-three with Sissi in the living room, couldn't hear Liu Xiaoli's voice in the bedroom, and then he said to Sissi with a smile: "Sissi, I give up, you win!"

Sissi smiled immediately, looked at Li Dabai and stretched out his hand, and said in a sweet voice, "Here's my reward."

Li Dabai rubbed Sissi's little head, took out a wave candy from his pocket, put it in her hand, and said with a smile: "Sissi is so awesome!"

In the bedroom, Liu Xiaoli walked to the bedside table, reached out and opened the cabinet and was stunned. It was neatly stuffed with blue-gray hundred-dollar bills, roughly estimated to be at least two hundred thousand.

Liu Xiaoli looked at the white envelope placed on top of the money, reached out and pulled out a piece of paper.

The handwriting on the paper was elegant and elegant, with a faint smell of ink. It must have been stuffed into the envelope after writing.

Liu Xiaoli looked at Chen Li'an's message on the paper and felt mixed emotions in her heart, but a warm current still rose deep in her heart.

"Mom, what are you looking at?" Sissi ran in at some point, licking the wave candy and tilting her head to look at Liu Xiaoli who was in a daze.

Liu Xiaoli quickly stuffed the letter back, closed the cabinet and looked at Sissi with a smiling face. She knelt down and looked at her and said softly: "It's nothing. Let's look at our new home. Does Sissi like it here?"

"I like it!" Sissi took Liu Xiaoli's hand and said excitedly: "There is a kitten in a cage in the yard. It's so small and cute. Can we let it out?"

kitten?

Liu Xiaoli was stunned for a moment, thinking that it must be Chen Li'an's arrangement, and she was suddenly moved a little bit more.

Although Chen Li'an suddenly became so direct and unromantic, at least he was sincere.

Li Dabai, who was outside the bedroom, breathed a sigh of relief after hearing the conversation between Liu Xiaoli and Qian Qian. The task was completed.

But in his heart, he was cursing Chen Li'an for letting him do such a thing, just like a bad guy who deceived a good woman.

In the small yard, Sissi squatted in front of the cat cage, looking at the white little milk cat, and cautiously stretched out her fingers to touch it. Liu Xiaoli stood behind and looked at them, with a relaxed smile on her face.

There is nothing wrong with living like this. At least you won't have an annoying mother-in-law or a husband who doesn't understand you. You can live however you want.

Just thinking about the promises Chen Li'an made in that letter, Liu Xiaoli was still very touched. At least she could see Chen Li'an's respect.

Chen Li'an on the other side yawned, threw his phone aside and turned over to sleep, not caring at all about Liu Xiaoli's affairs.

The worst outcome is to buy an extra house, the best outcome is to have a new identity and enjoy the feeling of being a father in advance.

Chen Li'an felt that he was not a good person, but he would not use any dirty means to do things. He clearly laid out the conditions he could give Liu Xiaoli in front of her.

He will not come forward and will not create any psychological pressure on Liu Xiaoli. If you are willing to accept it, then stay here. If you are not willing, then leave before Chen Li'an returns and become a stranger again.

Therefore, Chen Li'an had no expectations or tension in his heart, and there were only two outcomes.

Early the next morning, Chen Lian stretched out comfortably on the soft big bed. He looked at the sunlight coming through the gaps in the curtains and felt that life was so beautiful.

After a good sleep in the hotel, Chen Li'an felt alive and full of energy again.

A young body is good. Let’s continue with time management tonight!

In the next two days, Chen Li'an followed the crew to several places before leaving Shanghai and returning to the capital.

The promotion here is over, and the summer vacation is coming soon. We must seize the time to return to the capital for promotion.

There is also competition for summer releases, but the biggest rival movie "Kong Fansheng" has already been released, and the remaining rivals have no competition in front of Red River Valley.

Even so, promotion cannot be slack, after all, no one can guarantee that the movie will do well at the box office.

But the day before leaving, Chen Li'an received two unexpected scripts.

There are not many female directors at Shanghai Film Studio, and even fewer are famous. Wu Zhennian is one of them. She is the assistant director of "Wreaths Under the Mountain" and the screenwriter of "Lou Ye's Girl in Danger".

Wu Zhennien has not directed many films, but he is considered a very good director at Shanghai Film Studio.

Wu Zhennian approached Chen Li'an because she wanted him to act in a romance film, Ten Days of Love.

In Chen Li'an's opinion, there was nothing outstanding about the script. The only thing that aroused his interest was that Moo Chin Nian said that the heroine was Gigi Lai.

But it was just an interest. After all, director Li Xiepu also asked him to star in the movie in the morning, and the heroine was Wen Bixia.

But Chen Li'an didn't like either script. He found it boring and the characters were not outstanding.

Although the heroines are all good, Chen Li'an doesn't just look at the opponent when choosing a role. The most important thing is to look at the script.

He will only act if the script is good and the character is interesting. Otherwise, what would be the point of filming? It doesn't make any money and it doesn't gain much fame.

Chen Li'an looked at Wu Zhennian and said sheepishly: "Teacher Wu, I don't have that much time later, so I may not be able to star in your work."

"It will take a long time to start filming. Don't you think about it? Don't refuse in a hurry." Wu Zhennian said again. She liked Chen Li'an's performance very much. The simplicity and kindness of Sanger he played in Red River Valley was very moving.

Directors of the older generation seem to like this kind of actor. The only thing that dissatisfied these old directors about Chen Li'an is that he looks too good-looking and has to wear make-up to look ugly during filming.

Otherwise, such a handsome face will distract the audience's attention and ignore the movie itself.

Chen Li'an looked at Wu Zhennian's serious look and wanted to refuse again. Ning Jing next to him quietly touched him with her arm.

Chen Li'an glanced at Ning Jing calmly, and then said to Wu Zhennian: "Teacher Wu, let me look back and see if I can adjust the subsequent work. Can I give you an answer as soon as possible?"

"Okay, then I'll wait for your news." Wu Zhennian said with a smile.

Chen Li'an nodded, then sent Wu Zhennian away, then looked back at Ning Jing and said, "I really don't have time, and this script is not very good. I don't want to act."

Ning Jing hummed and said, "I know, I've read the script."

"You know, why are you asking me to hint? I thought I had to agree." Chen Li'an rolled his eyes at Ning Jing, sat down next to her and closed the script of Ten Days of Love.

Ning Jing looked at Chen Li'an and said seriously: "Teacher Wu is an old man. You should be more modest and save some face for others. Don't refuse in person. Do you understand? Why don't you understand the world at all?"

Chen Li'an shook his head and was too lazy to explain to Ning Jing that everyone has different ways of doing things and there is no need to force others to agree.

Chen Li'an never felt that rejecting others in person was a sign of ignorance of the world. On the contrary, pretending to delay for a few days was the greatest disrespect.

Ning Jing looked at Chen Li'an who didn't want to talk to her. Taking advantage of the fact that Mr. Zhou was not causing trouble, she grabbed Chen Li'an and asked, "Why don't you go back to the capital and stay with me for a few days."

Chen Li'an looked at Ning Jing and said, "Don't tell me that you are serious."

"Can't we play for a few more days?" Ning Jing leaned in front of Chen Li'an and whispered, "I don't look at you like Young Master Zhou. Are you really not coming?"

Chen Li'an glanced down, looked at Ning Jing's turbulent mind, and refused cruelly: "No way, I still have a lot of things to do in the capital. If I have time, I will go find you."

I have to go back to the capital to see Liu Xiaoli, and I also have to deal with Chen Meiren's forced marriage. There is no time to play a slap game with Ning Jing.

After hearing Chen Li'an's refusal again, Ning Jing let go of her hand and pushed Chen Li'an back, snorted and said, "I don't have time to do it, I don't care about it anymore."

Chen Li'an curled his lips and said, "I don't know who shouted last night, Dad hit me, and I want to do it again."

"You're going to die!" Ning Jing blushed and slapped Chen Li'an.
