Chapter 43 The second world is loading...



Li Wanyi was very calm: "I have already lost my wedding ring."

"I'll buy you another one." Xiao Ze said as he began to unbutton his shirt one by one: "It just so happens that I picked the style last time, so this time you can choose."

Li Wan watched him unbutton his shirt warily: "What are you doing?"

"Take a shower." After he said that, he walked straight past Li Wan and entered the bathroom.

Li Wan was stunned for a few seconds, unable to recover.

There was a sudden and cautious knock on the door.

Li Wan came to his senses and went to open the door.

Xiao Xiao was standing outside the door.

"Mom, are you okay?" She looked at Li Wan with some uneasiness. She vaguely heard the sound of her parents arguing. After hesitating for a moment, she decided to come over to check.

Li Wan knew that she must have come here because she heard the noise, so she didn't hide it from her and said, "I just had a quarrel with your father, but everything is fine now. Did it bother you?"

Xiao Xiao didn't expect Li Wan to tell her directly about the quarrel. She was stunned for a moment, then shook her head and said no.

Li Wan touched her head and said, "Go back to your room and sleep. Dad and I are fine now."

Xiao Xiao nodded, suddenly moved forward to hug Li Wan, and whispered: "I am on your side."

This is what she has always wanted to say to her mother.

I just never had the chance to say it.

In the past, no matter what happened, my mother would endure it, whether my grandmother was bossing her around at home or my grandmother was always saying some twisted ideas, my mother would just listen. Even if she couldn't help but stand up for my mother and reason with her grandmother, she would be stopped instead. Afterwards, my mother would tell her that she didn't know how to respect her elders.

Sometimes she really hated her mother. Why didn't she resist when she was bullied, and why did she try to make her become like her?

Gradually she also learned to be silent.

Li Wan was stunned for a moment, then hugged her gently and kissed her on the forehead:

"good evening."

"Good night, mother."

Li Wan stood at the door and watched Xiao Xiao return to the room with a loving look before closing the door.

When I turned around, I saw Xiao Ze walking out of the bathroom.

He was wearing a dark blue bathrobe with the belt loosely tied around his waist, revealing his moist chest. His wet hair was pulled back, revealing a face that was exceptionally fair and handsome after being fully hydrated. Even his lips had become rosy, looking very attractive.

Just when Li Wan was wondering if he was planning to force her or not.

Xiao Ze spoke up.

"Where's the hair dryer?" he asked.

"In the bathroom." Li Wan replied.

"I couldn't find it. Can you come over and help me find it?" Xiao Ze asked politely.

Li Wan walked over silently and found it for him in the cabinet under the sink.

"Thanks."

"You're welcome."

Li Wan walked out of the bathroom and soon heard the buzzing sound of the hair dryer in the bathroom. As if afraid of disturbing her, Xiao Ze closed the door after a while.

The two people who had been involved in a chaotic fight ten minutes ago were now calm and friendly to an eerie degree.

Li Wan felt that the atmosphere was a little strange, so she deliberately threw the suit jacket that Xiao Ze had taken off on the bed to the ground.

Xiao Ze came out after blow-drying his hair and saw his coat on the ground. He just looked at Li Wan calmly, bent down to pick it up and put it on the sofa, then walked into the cloakroom slowly. After a while, he changed into a bathrobe and came out wearing light-colored pajamas. His freshly dried hair was naturally fluffy, covering half of his forehead, making him look particularly gentle and harmless.

Then, under Li Wan's astonished gaze, he sat on the bed, lifted the quilt and lay down in it.

Li Wan stood up from the sofa: "What are you doing?"

Xiao Ze closed his eyes peacefully: "Sleep."

Li Wan was silent for two seconds and asked, "Are you sleeping here?"

Xiao Ze still closed his eyes: "Yeah."

Li Wan: "...What do you want to do?"

Xiao Ze: "Sleep."

Li Wan: “…”

Li Wan considered sleeping in the guest room, but looking at Xiao Ze sleeping peacefully in bed, she felt that was not her style.

So I just threw off the quilt and lay down on it.

Fortunately, the bed is big enough. The 2X2.2 bed is large enough for two people to occupy each side with a clear boundary in the middle.

Li Wan was so tired that day that the skin on her heels was worn out. She was so exhausted both physically and mentally that she soon forgot that there was an annoying person lying next to her and fell asleep quickly.

She was half asleep and was embraced in someone's arms, but she didn't wake up.

Wake up early the next morning.

She was the only one lying on the bed.

Li Wan lay in bed for a while, feeling that what happened last night was a dream. There was a sound next to her. She tilted her head and saw Xiao Ze coming out of the cloakroom. He was wearing a light blue shirt and a dark blue tie. Their eyes met. He walked to the bed, leaned over, brushed the hair off her cheek, and kissed her on the forehead: "It's time to get up."

Li Wan was in a daze for a moment and was unable to react.

Xiao Ze stood up and said, "I'll go downstairs first. You should get up and come down to have breakfast." Then he walked out of the master bedroom.

Li Wan lay on the bed for a long time before finally coming to his senses.

Li Wan entered the bathroom and found Xiao Ze's toothbrush, which he had used in the morning, neatly placed on the sink, and his towel hanging on the shelf. She frowned while brushing her teeth, trying to sort out the current situation.

She was so angry yesterday that she made up her mind to vent her anger even if it meant falling out with everyone.

She even threw away her wedding ring and bit Xiao Ze's tongue until it bled.

But how come we ended up sleeping in the same bed without knowing what was going on?

Just now, Xiao Ze looked gentle and good-tempered, and even kissed her.

Li Wan touched his forehead and felt strange.

But after she had a good sleep and regained her senses, she couldn't help but feel a little scared.

She arranged herself and went downstairs.

Xiao Ze, Xiao Xiao and Xiao Yan were already sitting in the restaurant eating.

Aunt Xu had already eaten and was watching TV in the living room.

Li Wan walked into the restaurant, and the three people with the surname Xiao who were sitting at the table all looked over.

Xiao Yan warmly invited Li Wan to have breakfast, "Mom, eat!"

Li Wan sat down next to him.

He has now completely developed the habit of eating by himself. There are a few dumplings in the small bowl, and he skillfully uses his small wooden fork to pick one up and put it into his mouth.

Aunt Xu brought Li Wan's breakfast and then went back to the living room to watch TV.

We had dumplings this morning. Li Wan drank a sip of the soup first, then scooped a dumpling into his mouth.

Then Xiao Xiao asked, "Dad, what's wrong with you? Do you have a mouth ulcer?"

Li Wan looked over and noticed that Xiao Ze was chewing very carefully with his brows slightly furrowed.

"It's okay." Xiao Ze glanced at Li Wan obscurely.

Li Wan choked and realized that Xiao Ze's difficulty eating was because she bit his tongue and made it bleed yesterday...

I guess it won't get better that fast.

You deserve it.

Li Wan couldn't help but reveal a gloating smile at the corner of her mouth, which was caught by Xiao Ze, and his eyes darkened.

A family of three goes out together.

Xiao Xiao is on the first floor.

Li Wan and Xiao Ze went down to the basement.

They both remained silent. When they arrived at the underground parking lot, Li Wan went straight to his car.

Xiao Ze grabbed his wrist.

"I send you."

He forcefully pushed Li Wan into his passenger seat.

Li Wan asked: "You send me off in the morning, so how can I get back in the evening?"

Xiao Ze said: "I'll pick you up."

Li Wan asked with a half-smile: "Is Mr. Xiao so free now?"

In fact, Xiao Ze’s company and studio are in two different directions.

It takes a lot of time to go back and forth.

Xiao Ze suddenly came over, pulled the seat belt beside Li Wan and buckled it, then said lightly: "If you are busy, I will let the driver go."

Li Wan sarcastically said, "Are you afraid that I'll cheat?"

Xiao Ze paused, then stood up, stared at Li Wan with cold eyes and said, "I know you don't have it, and you won't. It's just my jealousy. Sorry."

He apologized so sincerely that Li Wan felt a little helpless.

"Do you have to work overtime today?"

Xiao wanted to ease the atmosphere, so he asked after driving.

Li Wan said, “No need.”

Xiao Ze then asked, "Will this job be finished in a few days?"

Li Wan nodded, her mood returning to normal: "About three days."

Xiao Ze asked again: "What about three days later? Is there any other work?"

Li Wan said: "Not yet."

Qi Wen has been helping her contact people, but there has been no news. Other classmates have also introduced some jobs to her, but none of them are what she needs right now. She thanked them one by one and declined.

This circle values ​​experience very much.

She is in her thirties. Although she was very good in school, she hasn't worked for more than ten years and has zero stage experience. There are too many choices in the market. Even if Qi Wen endorses her, it is not easy to get opportunities.

Xiao Ze said: "You can take a few days off after work, don't be in a hurry."

Li Wan hummed.

The car stopped on the side of the road. Xiao Ze sat in the car and watched Li Wan enter the building before driving away.

Eleven o'clock in the morning.

Li Wan suddenly received a call from Qi Wen. Qi Wen on the other end of the phone was a little excited and asked her where she was and whether she was in the studio.

Li Wan said yes.

Qi Wen immediately said, "Ask Xu Lan for leave right now, and go to the Shengtai Hotel. There's an exclusive interview with a star there, and the reporter in charge of the interview had a car accident on the road and was admitted to the hospital. Someone is needed to take his place, but no one can be found right now. You happen to be nearby, so you can rush over. I'll send you the interview outline now, and you can memorize it in the car. We've done this kind of interview format before at school, and I've already made arrangements for you, and someone will help you with the process. There's still half an hour left, so hurry up..."

While answering Qi Wen's call, Li Wan stood up and left the studio. By the time Qi Wen finished talking and hung up the phone, she had already arrived at the door of Xu Lan's office.

She knocked on the door and went in.

Xu Lan looked up at her without saying anything. He just used his eyes to ask her, "Is there something wrong?"

Li Wan honestly told Qi Wen everything about the job he introduced to her, and then asked him for leave.

After listening to it, Xu Lan did not say whether to approve it or not, but just asked: "Did you drive today?"

Li Wan was stunned and said, "No."

Xu Lan raised his wrist to check his watch, then stood up and walked over: "I'll take you there."

Li Wan was stunned.

Xu Lan glanced at her: "Didn't you say you were in a hurry?"

Li Wan reacted and followed Xu Lan out without any hesitation.

"Li Wan and I are going out for a while." When passing by the assistant's desk, Xu Lan gave instructions and left the studio with Li Wan.

…..

In the car, Li Wan opened the interview outline sent by Qi Wen and read it. His lips moved but no sound came out.

Xu Lan glanced at her and didn't disturb her.

The car stopped at the gate of Shengtai Hotel.

Li Wan unbuckled her seatbelt and said, "Thank you, Director Xu. I'll be back soon after I'm done here."

Xu Lan said: "Don't be nervous."

Li Wan smiled at him, said okay, then opened the car door, got out, and hurried into the hotel.

Shengtai Hotel is a five-star hotel with a magnificent lobby and most of the guests coming in and out are of extraordinary temperament.

Li Wan hurried into the elevator and went up to the 22nd floor. She stood at the door of room 2210 and rang the doorbell.

The door opened immediately. A girl in her twenties opened the door. When she saw Li Wan, she was stunned for a moment, then asked, "Li Wan?"

Li Wan nodded: "I am."

She opened the door and said, "Come in quickly. There's only half an hour left." As she walked in, she asked, "Have you read the interview outline?"

Li Wan nodded: "I saw it on the way here."

She said, "Try to recite as much as possible. If you interrupt too many times, the artist may be unhappy. Xue Yao is notoriously difficult to interview. We finally got him for this interview. Sister Tong has been preparing for a long time, but she didn't expect this to happen. If he makes things difficult for you, just bear with it. If he doesn't want to answer some questions, just skip them and don't get entangled."

"Okay." Li Wan nodded.

"You go sit over there and get a feel for it. Makeup artist, come here and help her touch up her makeup." the girl shouted.

The makeup artist who was chatting in the suite came out carrying a makeup box.

Li Wan was stunned for a moment: "Do I have to appear on camera too?"

Qi Wen didn't mention this on the phone.

The girl nodded: "Yes, you don't have to be too nervous, just try to be natural. By the way, my name is Xiaozhuang."

Li Wan nodded.

Xiao Zhuang asked, "Did you know Xue Yao before?"

Li Wan said: "I didn't know him before, I only watched one TV series of his, but I looked up some information about him on the way here."

"Then you should memorize the interview outline first." Xiaozhuang didn't want to talk to her anymore after saying that. He held his forehead with his hand and walked into the inner room with a headache.

Li Wan heard her complaining to others inside about who Qi Wen didn't know how to recommend.

The makeup artist was also a young girl. She also heard the careless complaints from inside and smiled at Li Wan comfortingly.

Li Wan also smiled at her politely, and then continued to check some information about Xue Yao on his mobile phone.

The makeup artist originally wanted to compliment Li Wan on her good skin. One could tell at a glance that she had only applied a thin layer of foundation, but her skin looked delicate and fair without a single spot. However, seeing how focused Li Wan was, the makeup artist didn't say anything and just focused on touching up Li Wan's makeup.

…..

Xiaozhuang came out and saw that Li Wan was not looking at the interview outline but was looking at her phone. He immediately got angry and asked, "Have you memorized the interview outline?"

Li Wan nodded and said, "I have memorized it."

Xiaozhuang was speechless for a while.

It’s been just over half an hour since Li Wan was chosen, and she actually said she had memorized the three-page interview outline?

Does she know what it means to memorize well?

Xiao Zhuang said: "If you keep reading the script during the interview, the artist team will question our professionalism."

Li Wan nodded again, without moving her eyes away from the page on her phone: "I will try not to look at it."

Xiaozhuang was annoyed.

She had waited so long for this opportunity, but who knew Qi Wen would suddenly appear and recommend Li Wan to her leader.

She had never heard of this Li Wan before, which showed that she was not a big shot. However, she managed to get such an important interview relying on Qi Wen's relationship.

Xiaozhuang couldn't help but think maliciously that she was so beautiful, maybe there was a financial sponsor behind her, and it was her financial sponsor who asked Qi Wen to come forward.

But even though she was angry, she couldn't do anything.

Although she didn't believe that Li Wan could memorize the outline in such a short time.

But she can only wait until Li Wan really messes up, then she can get something to hold against him to vent her anger.

"The makeup is done, take a look at the effect." The makeup artist handed the mirror to Li Wan.

Li Wan took a look and nodded with satisfaction, then smiled at her: "Thank you."

The makeup artist smiled and said you’re welcome, then carried her makeup box and went back into the room.

The photographer set up the camera and asked Li Wan to adjust her sitting position so that when she sat sideways, a larger side profile could be left.

"The lighting in the picture is quite good." The photographer adjusted the camera and said.

He saw Li Wan in the camera from the display screen next to the camera and couldn't help but say, "Don't be nervous, you look great on camera."

Li Wan was wearing that white shirt with a black hip skirt today, with her hair tied in a low ponytail, looking very intellectual and elegant. She had excellent posture, with a straight back, a slender neck, and a soft profile. Combined with the lighting, the picture looked very comfortable.

As soon as Li Wan sat there, she felt the atmosphere.

Hearing the photographer's words, Li Wan turned and smiled at him.

At this time, Xiaozhuang hurried out of the room with his mobile phone: "The artist is coming, I'll go and answer him." Then he went out.

In less than ten minutes, Xiaozhuang came back with his group.

Li Wan stood up to greet him.

Xue Yao is a popular male star now. He became famous last year because of a ** drama. However, in the industry, his management team has a notorious reputation and is the most difficult team to deal with. But who made Xue Yao so popular? No matter how bad his reputation is, people still have to deal with him in silence.

Xue Yao himself looks more impactful than those retouched photos on the Internet. His head-to-body ratio is very superior, and his face is not much bigger than that of female stars.

He had just finished a business event and was wearing a light blue shirt and a white jacket, but his skin was very fair, which completely overshadowed the color of the suit. His hair was light chestnut and he had light makeup on his face. His facial features were delicate and he could be called handsome, but the complexion on that delicate and beautiful face was not good at the moment.

"Hello, I'm Li Wan." Li Wan greeted him gracefully.

He just nodded proudly, without even glancing at Li Wan, and sat on the sofa: "Let's get started."

The staff immediately went up and put a microphone on Xue Yao.

Xue Yao's agent said: "Keep the interview as short as possible. Xue Yao is feeling a little unwell and needs to go back and rest early."

Xiaozhuang looked at Li Wan.

Li Wan smiled slightly: "Okay, I'll try my best." Then she sat down on the sofa next to Xue Yao and nodded to the photographer.

Then he was interrupted by his agent: "Wait a minute, makeup artist, go over and fix Xue Yao's bangs."

The makeup artist they brought with them went forward and fixed Xue Yao's bangs.

Xue Yao closed his eyes, his face full of impatience.

Get your hair done.

Li Wan nodded to the photographer again.

The interview officially begins.

Xiaozhuang stood next to the photographer, looking at Li Wan in the camera with a sneer, hoping that she would mess up.

Li Wan's voice was so pleasant, and her speaking speed was very well controlled, neither fast nor slow, with a touch of gentleness and softness. When she asked the question, her clear, dark eyes were always fixed on Xue Yao's eyes, with a little expectant smile, as if she was very interested in the question.

Generally speaking, female reporters and female hosts would always feel a little nervous and excited when they saw Xue Yao in person.

But this kind of tension and excitement could not be seen on Li Wan's face at all. Her expression was always calm and at ease, and there was a very comfortable aura lingering around her, which invisibly affected everyone in the room. In this aura, it was very easy to relax, and once relaxed, people's vigilance would be reduced, and they would unconsciously let down their guard, making people want to open up to their hearts.

Xue Yao unknowingly fell for Li Wan's clear, dark eyes that were still smiling. He unconsciously answered many of his originally impatient questions and even brought up some other interesting topics.

When Xue Yao was speaking, Li Wan looked into his eyes with a smile, and waited until he finished speaking before taking the right opportunity to ask the next question.

Xiaozhuang couldn't help but flip through the outline with a pale face. She found that Li Wan didn't ask questions according to the outline completely, and even the order was completely disrupted, but she was able to easily insert the questions in the outline at the most appropriate time.

Many questions that might cross the red line of the artists were thrown to Xue Yao in a very relaxed atmosphere, and Xue Yao answered them, and answered them happily. Many times, some of the questions asked by Li Wan were actually questions that have been asked too many times by the media, and the artists have fixed answer templates to deal with reporters, but when Li Wan asked them, Xue Yao would unconsciously think more about it, and then give an answer that was more like Xue Yao.

Xiaozhuang looked at Li Wan in disbelief. She had never even glanced at the outline since the beginning of the interview.

The agent looked at Xue Yao with a little surprise. He had a cold face and didn't want anyone to come in ten minutes ago. His expression changed from relaxed to the corners of his mouth couldn't help but smile. He was secretly surprised.

This was the first time she saw Xue Yao being so relaxed and happy during an interview. He even crossed his legs and the corners of his mouth were about to rise to the sky.

Tsk tsk tsk.

Huh? Wait, what's this question?

The agent suddenly said, "Excuse me, we have agreed in advance not to answer this question."

Li Wan immediately said apologetically: "I'm sorry."

"There's nothing that can't be answered." Xue Yao raised his eyebrows and said, "I hope my fans like me by supporting my works, rather than deifying me and giving me a bunch of lofty personalities, letting me live in their fantasy of being a perfect idol. No one is perfect, and I am even less so."

The agent did not expect Xue Yao's answer to be so brilliant, and immediately realized that this paragraph should be used as the focus of the next publicity.

The final interview duration was not shorter than the previous one, but instead exceeded the originally agreed interview time.

At the end of the interview, Xue Yao was still a little reluctant to finish. He unscrewed the bottle of mineral water on the table and drank half of it in one gulp. Then he said, "I haven't talked so much in a long time."

Li Wan smiled and said, "Thank you for your cooperation."

Xue Yao said, "You asked a good question. Some reporters are really bad at interviewing. I don't even bother to answer them when I hear their questions. By the way, why haven't I seen you before? They said that the reporter had a car accident. Are you here to take charge?"

Before the interview started, he didn't even glance at Li Wan, but now he couldn't help chatting with Li Wan.

Li Wan smiled and said, "Yes, I'm a temporary worker." She smiled a little embarrassedly and said, "Actually, this is my first time to do a formal interview. Thank you very much for cooperating with me."

Xue Yao raised his eyebrows in surprise: "First interview?"

Li Wan nodded.

Li Wan pursed her lips and smiled: "Yes, interviewing you for the first time may be the peak of my career."

Xue Yao laughed, and then said, "You are very suitable to be a talk show host. The guests can be easily led by you."

After the agent finished communicating with the staff, he came over and said, "Let's go, Xue Yao."

Xue Yao took out his phone and handed his QR code to Li Wan naturally. He said with a smile on his face, "Add WeChat. When you have a talk show, invite me again."

The agent looked at Xue Yao in surprise, then at Li Wan.

The other staff in the room also looked over in surprise.

Li Wan took out her phone and added Xue Yao on WeChat: "I hope I can have this opportunity."

Xue Yao smiled and said, "Yes, it will happen. It may be another peak in your life."

This time it was Li Wan who was amused by him.

Xue Yao shook his phone and said, "Let's go. Bye."

Li Wan said goodbye to him with a smile.

After seeing Xue Yao off, Li Wan returned to the room, sat on the sofa, and let out a sigh of relief.

The photographer immediately praised: "You are so amazing, you have the demeanor of a great general."

Other staff members also came over to praise Li Wan's performance in various ways. They didn't expect it to be so easy to complete. They all listened with great interest. It can be imagined that the effect of this editing will definitely be very good.

Maybe it can become a hit, and it will be easier to invite other artists in the future.

As for Xiaozhuang, although her face looked unhappy, she had nothing to say.

Li Wan thanked the staff one by one, and Xiao Zhuang did not ignore her. Even though her face was stiff, Li Wan thanked her sincerely.

Then she declined the staff's enthusiastic invitation to have dinner with them, said goodbye to them, and walked out of the room.

The first thing she did when she walked out of the room was to send a WeChat message to Qi Wen.

【it's over. 】

Qi Wen called immediately without any further ado: "How is it?"

Li Wan's mouth curled up: "I don't think I embarrassed you."

Qi Wen laughed heartily on the other end of the phone: "That's good. I've guaranteed it for you."

Li Wan said solemnly: "Qi Wen, thank you."

Qi Wen said, "Don't be polite with me. If this interview is recognized, your future will be much easier. Are you still in the hotel now?"

Li Wan said: "Yes, it just ended."

Qi Wen smiled and said, "It just so happens that I'm nearby too, let's have lunch together."

Li Wan agreed immediately.

After hanging up the phone, I walked out of the hotel lobby, and at a glance I saw Xu Lan's car parked there.

She was stunned for a moment, walked over and knocked on the car window, looking at Xu Lan in the car in surprise: "Director Xu, you haven't left yet?"

Xu Lan put away his phone and said calmly, "I just received a call."

Li Wan was shocked. The call lasted nearly two hours?

"Let's go eat?" Xu Lan asked.

"Qi Wen asked me out, Director Xu, are we coming together?" Li Wan asked.

Xu Lan said: "Okay, get in the car."
