Huayu: Brother, I'm having such a great time!

Chapter 74 Temptation Inside the Car

After the dinner, everyone went to the parking lot.

We are now proceeding with the final step of the dinner party:

Separate vehicles!

Zhang Xiaojue followed Xiao Ke's car, and Jing Gangshan also drove, but because he had been drinking, he reluctantly got into the driver's seat of Xiao Ke's car after being strongly persuaded by everyone.

They've stopped distinguishing between primary and secondary roles.

He's so drunk and he still wants to drive!

Dai Rao and Yang Shuo got into Xu Jingxing's car.

Judging from Dai Rao's words, Yang Shuo is probably going to stay at her house tonight.

I've been longing for my Accord all night, and I doubt I'll be able to drive it away easily tonight without putting in some effort.

It's alright. Young people are like that. While they can still work, they can achieve anything by working hard.

Zeng Li lived in Dongcheng, and since Xu Jingxing was going back to the Central Academy of Drama on the same route, she got into Xu Jingxing's car.

After greeting Xiao Ke, Xu Jingxing started the car and drove towards Dai Rao's residence.

"Lili, I remember you lived in Fengtai, when did you move to Dongcheng?" Dai Rao asked Zeng Li.

"The lease on that house expired, and since the owner was also planning to sell, I moved to a new place."

Zeng Li casually brushed her long hair aside, then asked Xu Jingxing, "I heard you're still a student?"

"Yes, Sister Zeng Li."

"Didn't I introduce them to you at the dinner table just now? They're both students from the Central Academy of Drama." Dai Rao pointed to Xu Jingxing and Yang Shuo.

"Don't even mention it. Jing Gangshan kept pulling me to drink earlier, and I didn't hear what you were saying at all."

When Jinggang Mountain is mentioned, Zeng Li's face is full of disgust.

She really didn't understand what was so good about this wine. Unless she absolutely had to drink it, she felt nauseous just from the smell of it.

However, Jing Gangshan has one great advantage: he loves to drink but doesn't pressure others to drink, so he was the only one at the table who got drunk.

Yang Shuo had also drunk quite a bit, and he had basically blocked Dai Rao's drinks. At this moment, he was half sober and half drunk, slumped in his seat. Dai Rao quickly took out a prepared hangover medicine from his bag and gave it to him.

"You're so young and already driving such a nice car, your family must be well-off," Zeng Li remarked.

"Can't I just work hard myself?"

"You're quite promising for your age," Zeng Li praised.

Dai Rao pointed out the way to Xu Jingxing, then said to Zeng Li, "Didn't your graduating class produce a lot of big names?"

Zeng Li didn't answer her, but instead continued to ask Xu Jingxing, "Are you a junior this year?"

"Hmm!" Xu Jingxing nodded.

"Zhang Ziyi won the Best Actress award at the Hundred Flowers Awards when she was a junior in college," Zeng Li said quietly. "It's true that you have to become famous early, unlike me, who's stuck here now, neither here nor there."

Xu Jingxing continued driving without commenting.

Indeed, one should become famous as early as possible.

However, there is a strange phenomenon in the Chinese entertainment industry: no matter how well someone acts, once they reach a certain age, they automatically become a veteran actor.

Honestly, some roles are so good that it wouldn't matter who played them.

It wasn't very challenging.

It's just that the audience is too nostalgic and cherishes talent, perhaps also feeling that even if someone didn't achieve great things, they still put in a lot of hard work.

So there's a bit of a compensatory mentality involved, and the feeling that we were blind to have made her famous back then. We don't want some talented actors to be buried and then inexplicably promoted to veteran actors.

Actually, gradually building up experience is not a bad way to survive in the entertainment industry.

"By the way, what movie did you just finish filming? I didn't hear you clearly on the phone earlier." After giving Yang Shuo a few more sips of water, Dai Rao turned to Zeng Li and asked.

"Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio!" Zeng Li replied. "It's divided into several story segments, and I acted in the segment called 'Painted Skin.'"

"That's a big production!" Dai Rao exclaimed. "Girl, you're on the verge of becoming a star!"

"What's so popular about it?" Zeng Li smiled helplessly. "My co-star is Jiang Hua, who's almost washed up in Hong Kong. Unlike other anthology dramas, which have Lin Zhiying, Huang Xiaoming, and that Thai actor TAE who's been really popular lately, I haven't even been able to work with the actor who plays Li Xiaoyao who's currently very popular."

"It's okay, you'll get to know them eventually," Dai Rao comforted him.

"How many years has this been going on? Back then, the drama 'A Perfect Match' was so popular, but all the audience remembered were the male and female leads and the theme song."

Whether it was a spontaneous remark or not, Zeng Li hummed softly after finishing her sentence:

"I should be in the car, not under it..."

The group fell silent for a while.

As the car entered a long alley, Dai Rao glanced at the road and said:

"Xiao Xu, turn left at that intersection, then walk to the end and drop us off. Then turn right and you can drive directly to the main road."

"OK."

The car came to a smooth stop at the entrance of Dai Rao's residential area. Dai Rao exchanged a few polite words and invited the two to come to his home for a visit, but they declined. Xu Jingxing then picked up Zeng Li and continued driving towards the Central Academy of Drama.

"Sister Zeng Li, should I drive straight towards the Central Academy of Drama?" Xu Jingxing asked.

"Um..." Zeng Li said somewhat embarrassedly, "I might have to trouble you to drive to Fengtai."

After Dai Rao got out of the car, Zeng Li got out and sat down in the passenger seat.

At this moment, she gently tucked her left side of her hair behind her ear, pursed her lips to make them even redder, turned slightly to the side, rested her elbow on the center console, and said charmingly, "I'm afraid you'll have to work a little harder."

"And what did you do just now?" Xu Jingxing asked.

Zeng Li didn't speak, but gently placed her left hand on Xu Jingxing's hand that was gripping the gearshift.

"Sister Zeng Li, what's wrong?"

Xu Jingxing roughly guessed what she meant.

Just now at the dinner table, Zeng Li asked Xiao Ke to write a song more than once, but Xiao Ke refused each time because she was too busy.

It seems that he felt his acting career wasn't going well and wanted to gain some recognition through a hit song.

"I felt really good about you as soon as I saw you."

Does she like me, or does she like my song?!

Zeng Li placed the bag that was on her lap on the back seat. Now that her body was no longer a barrier, her long, beautiful legs were on full display for Xu Jingxing to see.

However, Xu Jingxing, who was focused on driving, obviously couldn't notice this.

"What have I done to deserve Sister Zeng Li's favor at first glance?" Xu Jingxing pretended to be flattered.

"Don't underestimate yourself." Zeng Li gripped Xu Jingxing's hand tighter. "Your song is really great."

"I'm so happy that Sister Zeng Li likes the songs I write."

"I like it very much, just as much as I like you."

Zeng Li leaned close to Xu Jingxing's ear and whispered softly, "Can I sing that song?"

"You sing?"

Xu Jingxing turned the steering wheel all the way and pulled the car over to the side of the road.

At this moment, Zeng Li's hand was already on his thigh, and she was stroking it continuously.

It is clear that he is no longer fit to drive.

Xu Jingxing grabbed Zeng Li's hand, "Sister Zeng Li, this is not appropriate."

Zeng Li licked her lips quickly with the tip of her tongue, pulled away from Xu Jingxing's hand, and continued what she had been doing, whispering in his ear again:

"Are you saying the song isn't suitable for me to sing, or that this particular song isn't suitable?"

After saying that, they ventured deeper into the area.
