Chapter 69 I can teach you!
the next morning.
Chen Xun sat up groggily and stretched as usual.
Just as he stretched his body, a very subtle feeling welled up in his heart.
Chen Xun felt light and full of energy!
He got out of bed and went into the bathroom of the second bedroom, standing in front of the mirror to brush his teeth.
The face in the mirror is still the same face, the features haven't changed, but the complexion seems exceptionally good!
Chen Xun made a face at himself in the mirror.
Suddenly, I feel that my face is more flexible and relaxed than before, and my smile is more natural.
My skin looks firm and radiant, without even the slight dullness that might result from staying up late.
My teeth, which were originally a bit yellowish, have turned white!
His eyes looked much clearer!
His whites were somewhat cloudy and bloodshot from staying up late, but now his eyes are clear and pure.
He tried the "deep breathing + relaxing shoulders and neck" exercise, and his body reacted with unusual coordination.
"Is this the effect of the 'Male God Enhancement Device'?"
He blinked at himself in the mirror, feeling a little amazed.
These changes are barely noticeable unless you look closely, but when combined, they make him seem like he's in exceptionally good shape and radiating energy.
After washing up and changing his clothes, he left the second bedroom.
Christine and Dakota were already sitting at the small dining table in the living room eating the breakfast delivered by the hotel.
Christine, holding her coffee cup, turned to look at Chen Xun, her gaze lingering on his face for two seconds. Her eyebrows rose slightly, and a hint of surprise flashed in her gray-green eyes!
"Did you sleep well?"
Christine spoke, her tone sounding no different from usual, but her eyes swept over him again.
"good!"
Chen Xun sat down next to her and picked up a slice of toast.
He could feel Christine's gaze lingering on him, albeit subtly.
Her words were tinged with teasing, but the confusion in her eyes was genuine.
Chen Xun felt secretly pleased. It seemed that the effects of this "male god enhancer" could be perceived by those close to him.
You seem a little different today!
"What's different?"
Chen Xun remained unmoved.
"I can't explain it!"
Christine tilted her head and looked him over, her fingers tapping unconsciously on the table:
"I feel great, and I have lots of energy!"
[Christine's affection level +1, current affection level 96]
Christine's affection level, which hadn't changed in a long time, has increased by 1 point!
Is the effect really that significant?
Chen Xun touched his chin.
He shrugged and said with a straight face, "Maybe the air here is more nourishing?"
"It's also possible that someone sneaked in at night and gave them a little energy boost!"
Christine blushed and kicked him under the table.
"morning!"
Chen Xun smiled and greeted Dakota.
Dakota looked up, half a waffle still dangling from her mouth. When she saw Chen Xun, her eyes lit up, and she flashed a sweet smile.
Good morning, Chen~
"Did you secretly practice some kung fu last night? I noticed your walking posture has changed!"
[Dakota Danin's favorability +10, current favorability 45]
The favorability rating above her head jumped up suddenly!
Chen Xun deliberately glanced at Dakota and smiled, "If you're interested, I can teach you a few relaxation techniques."
Dakota paused for a moment, then blushed slightly and looked down at her napkin.
"I don't need it!"
She clearly knew about Christine's visit to Chen Xun yesterday.
Christine glared at Chen Xun.
Chen Xun cried out that he was wronged.
He did learn a few relaxation techniques from the martial arts instructors.
Dakota can teach her if she's interested.
What were those two women thinking?!
What a filthy woman!
After breakfast, the three of them went back to their rooms to pack their luggage, preparing to head to the airport to return to Los Angeles.
While waiting for the elevator in the corridor, Christine naturally leaned against Chen Xun and hooked her fingers around his.
"Seriously~"
While Dakota was looking at her phone, she quickly whispered in Chen Xun's ear:
You look so handsome today!
Chen Xun looked down at her face, which was so close to his own, and could smell the faint fragrance in her hair.
He took her hand in his and squeezed it gently: "So you mean you thought I wasn't handsome before?"
"He was handsome before!"
Christine snorted, but didn't pull her hand away: "You look exceptionally handsome today! Keep it up, Mr. Chen."
On the way to the airport and during the flight, Chen Xun could vaguely sense that people around him were looking at him more often than usual.
On the plane, Christine slept with her head on his shoulder.
Looking at the rolling sea of clouds outside the porthole, feeling the weight of the person beside him, and the continuous optimization within his body, Chen Xun felt more relaxed than ever before.
I left the airport, drove home!
As soon as the car came to a stop in the Beverly Hills garage, before Chen Xun and Christine could even get out, they saw Robert's familiar sedan already waiting outside.
Robert leaned against the hood of the car, holding a folder in his hand.
"Looks like your agent is even more dedicated than the paparazzi!"
Christine complained as she unbuckled her seatbelt.
Chen Xun smiled, opened the door, and got out of the car.
Rob immediately came up to him: "Haven't seen you in a few days, you seem to have gotten even more handsome!"
As he spoke, he shoved the folder in his hand into Chen Xun's hand.
"Look! The freshly revised version!"
Rob exclaimed excitedly, "CBS and the production company have communicated, and they're willing to make changes! And the changes are quite good!"
Chen Xun raised an eyebrow in surprise.
So fast?
He took the folder, and Christine curiously came over as well.
On the cover of the new script, the character's name is still "Han Lee," but the character description next to it has been completely changed:
【Han Li】: A young and handsome Chinese restaurant owner who is obsessed with mysterious powers.
He was elegant in demeanor, with a touch of understated Eastern humor, and occasionally revealed a wisdom and insight beyond his years.
Han Lee runs a restaurant in Brooklyn. He seems easygoing, but he always manages to offer unexpected advice at crucial moments.
As a mysterious Easterner, Han Li is extremely superstitious about various mystical forces: the I Ching, Tarot cards, and even palm reading.
Whenever the restaurant encounters trouble or needs to make an important decision, he always solemnly "does a divination," and the result often brings unexpected comedic effects by accident.
Chen Xun quickly flipped through the revised scenes.
The deliberately comical Chinese-accented English is gone.
Instead, Han Lee used fluent but occasionally charlatan-tinged English to deal with Max's sharp tongue and Caroline's naiveté.
For example, there is a scene:
The coffee machine in the restaurant broke down, and Max complained incessantly, while Caroline was frantic with worry.
Han Li calmly took out three copper coins, tossed them a few times on the counter, and then, looking at the result, solemnly said to them:
"The divination indicates that the northwest direction is where metal thrives when it encounters water. Who among you should go and fix that leaky pipe in the back storage room? Maybe then the coffee machine will run smoothly again!"
Max rolled his eyes and complained:
"So now we not only have to know how to bake cupcakes, but also work as plumbers and feng shui masters?"
Caroline might go and see for herself, though she might be skeptical.
During the repair of the water pipes, they unexpectedly discovered the real cause of the short circuit...
Another scene involved Han Li reading the palm of a new waiter and solemnly telling him:
"A bumpy road in love, but great fortune in wealth; especially suited for the food and beverage service industry!"
They completely fooled the other party!
The script retains comedic elements, but the humor no longer relies on belittling and stereotypes. Instead, it shifts to the endearing contrast and unexpected humor brought about by the characters' unique cultural backgrounds and behaviors.
Han Li went from being ridiculed to becoming a unique figure who is somewhat mysterious, somewhat lovable, and even occasionally capable of "prophetic" events.
