kissed
"So who was you talking to on the phone?" Xu Luoluo asked as she fried a few pieces of tofu skin. Watching the red oil soak into the golden tofu skin, she couldn't help but swallow.
"Deng Lingling".
"Damn, why is she so persistent?" She said that, but her chopsticks didn't stop. She picked up a piece of fried tofu skin, put it in her bowl, blew on it a few times, and then slurped it down in one gulp.
Tang Yizhuo: "..." He got hungry and suddenly lost interest in teasing her, and began to concentrate on fighting with her for the meat cooked in the hot pot.
Faced with Tang Yizhuo's sudden and fierce offensive, Xu Luoluo immediately adopted a high-level combat stance, striving to scoop up every piece of cooked meat in a whirlwind. The two of them, through their playful squabbles, managed to make the hot pot meal lively and enjoyable, working up a good sweat. All the calories they consumed were converted into physical energy, making it a very healthy meal.
Three hours later, Xu Luoluo patted her stomach, leaned back, and slumped in her seat: "I'm full, I can't eat anymore."
Tang Yizhuo glanced at the hot pot broth that was now just clear broth and praised her, "You're full just in time."
The two walked to the parking lot, and Xu Luoluo opened the car door and sprawled out in the passenger seat. Tang Yizhuo shook his head at this, not understanding how he could have fallen for such a heartless woman.
The sleep ended up at home. When the car was parked downstairs, Tang Yizhuo didn't wake her up. He just quietly watched her sleeping face.
As if sensing his gaze, Xu Luoluo's long eyelashes trembled. She struggled to open her eyes, turned her head, and immediately met Tang Yizhuo's gaze, who was looking at her from the driver's seat. In contrast to the commotion at the hot pot restaurant, her eyes were now calm and clear: "So, Deng Lingling knows about our collaboration?"
Tang Yizhuo straightened up and shook his head: "Come to me to discuss cooperation."
"She's Su Ze's secretary now, how could she possibly be working with you?" Xu Luoluo heard from Liu Jia that not long after she left, Deng Lingling had transitioned from a planning assistant to Su Ze's secretary. This career path is a bit puzzling, but perhaps it can be considered a case of getting what she wanted?
"The company is also splitting up some assets; Su Ze's team took over the mobile game." Tang Yizhu chuckled meaningfully. "Your information network is quite impressive."
"Oh, then that's none of my business." Xu Luoluo leaned back, adjusted the seat back lower, and raised an eyebrow at Tang Yizhuo. "Looks like starting a new company is tough, Mr. Tang."
Tang Yizhuo leaned back and followed her lead, saying, "So, are you going to invite me up for coffee?"
"Why drink coffee so late at night?" Xu Luoluo exclaimed, then thought for a moment and said, "Today is worth celebrating, let's have a drink!" Her eyebrows and eyes were full of smiles, wanting to celebrate the completion of the short video script.
Let's also find out what Tang Yizhuo is here for! Does someone who just started a company and is still going through the handover with his old partners have so much free time?
The two of them went downstairs to the convenience store, bought a bunch of beer, and then went upstairs.
The beer wasn't very strong, but drinking too much still made me feel dizzy. Xu Luoluo propped her head up and tilted it slightly, unable to resist poking the stubborn Tang Yizhuo: "Why are you beating around the bush? What did you come here for?"
Tang Yizhuo grasped her mischievous fingers, tightened his grip, and then gently released them. After a long silence, Xu Luoluo glared at him for a long time, but in the end, he ignored her and simply poured her more alcohol.
What's going on? Xu Luoluo waited for ages but nothing happened, then her phone vibrated. When she answered, a familiar voice came through.
It was Gu Sinian.
The two were standing too close, and the voice of a stranger came through the phone. Although he couldn't hear what the other person was saying, the familiar tone of the other person successfully made Tang Yizhuo frown.
"Okay, let's talk another day when we meet." Xu Luoluo listened for a while, then hung up the phone calmly, but the excitement in her voice was hard to hide. She turned to Tang Yizhuo and said happily, "I've been having really good luck lately."
It's unclear how Gu Sinian, a restaurant owner, could have friends in the game development industry. During a casual chat, his friend suddenly remembered a young screenwriter he'd recently met. Gu Sinian seemed to have done some research on her, learning about her recent hit drama, and introduced her to his friend. Although his friend's company couldn't compare to T Company—it was a small text-based game startup—that's precisely why they lacked experienced screenwriters. They were currently planning a new game, and Gu Sinian asked if she was interested.
People really should go out more and build connections. Maybe she should attend more of the blind dates arranged by her mother; even if they can't be lovers, they can still be friends. Who knows which friend might bring her career opportunities?
Xu Luoluo became more and more excited, completely unaware that Tang Yizhuo was looking at her intently.
"You're quite popular."
"That's right, everyone loves me." Xu Luoluo took a sip of her wine and continued to gloat.
"And you, have you fallen in love with someone else?"
Xu Luoluo was taken aback. Turning her head, she suddenly realized that Tang Yizhuo was standing very close to her at some point, and she could hear his breathing.
The air grew thinner, and the sweet aroma of alcohol made her feel hot all over. Xu Luoluo nudged him uncomfortably: "You're being ridiculous."
"Perhaps." Tang Yizhuo remained unmoved, instead moving closer to her red lips. "Then, to avoid being confused again, shouldn't I..."
"What?" Xu Luoluo was cornered on the sofa by him, breathing rapidly. One hand was on his chest, but the well-tailored shirt felt hot to the touch.
"Should we strike first?" he asked, but without hesitation, he kissed her pink lips, his kiss lingering and deepening. Xu Luoluo's hand, holding the beer bottle, remained firmly on the sofa, her fingers slightly red, gripping the bottle tightly.
When they parted, they were both a little out of breath. Xu Luoluo gently pushed him away, leaned in, and kissed him fiercely.
Tang Yizhuo: "..." Enjoy.
After a while, she stood up, wiped her mouth, and said with satisfaction, "I made it all back."
"You can earn some more interest," Tang Yizhuo said with a smile, seemingly delicate, as she sat on the sofa.
"Dream on," Xu Luoluo rolled her eyes. "Tell me, when did you start having ulterior motives towards me?"
"Come here, and I'll tell you," Tang Yizhuo said sincerely, sitting on the sofa.
Xu Luoluo turned and left. She would be a fool to believe him. Judging from his lecherous appearance, she knew with her eyes closed what would happen if she sat down next to him.
But as soon as she turned her back, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up, and she didn't know why she felt so happy.
I've kept my distance from him for a long time, telling myself that dangerous men are hard to resist. Even when my heart is pounding with temptation, I keep reminding myself to stay away. But he's always there when I need him most, so I don't know when it started, but as long as he's around, I feel safe and secure.
besides……
"That drama series will still be made, but we've agreed with Producer Xu that it will be developed two years from now, after the new version of the PC game is released."
As expected, Tang Yizhuo wouldn't waste his efforts; he reclaimed the copyright from his own son, intending to continue the legacy.
"Is this the large-scale internship project I completed in my screenwriting class?" Xu Luoluo asked curiously while drinking her milk.
“That depends on whether you can produce convincing work.” Tang Yizhuo raised his eyebrows. “I remember our transaction only included this writing class.”
"Okay." Xu Luoluo smiled slightly. "I knew you would handle things professionally."
She didn't know why he didn't give her special treatment, but that actually made her feel relieved.
The two of them were drinking beer and watching a movie until midnight when Xu Luoluo suddenly stood up as the movie's end credits started playing and escaped from Tang Yizhuo's "clutches".
"I'm going to wash up first, you should go to bed early too!"
As for where to sleep, it will be on the sofa, of course.
Tang Yizhuo: "..." Did I come all this way just to mooch off your sofa?
He rubbed his forehead and stood up. Seeing Xu Luoluo with her arms crossed, he couldn't help but shake his head: "You have some misunderstanding about me. Do you think I'm the kind of person who takes advantage of others in distress?"
"It's hard to say." Xu Luoluo took a step back and hugged her even tighter.
Tang Yizhuo frowned.
Afraid that he would be goaded, Xu Luoluo quickly lowered her arms to show her trust and forced a smile: "I was just kidding!"
Tang Yizhuo took the opportunity to pull her arm, kissed her slightly parted lips in surprise, and then smiled gently: "I'll let you go today."
He then opened the door and went out.
Xu Luoluo covered her flushed and burning face after closing the door.
Although I was already a seasoned player in the dating scene when I wrote this, what just happened was nothing more than a trivial matter.
But experiencing it firsthand was so thrilling that she couldn't control her surging hormones.
Doesn't she covet Tang Yizhuo? Of course she does. With such a wonderful man, how could she?
But she held herself firmly, not because she was afraid he wouldn't take responsibility or anything, but simply because she hadn't thought things through.
She didn't want a fleeting romance to jeopardize her social media presence and career prospects. Sometimes, relationships need to be kept at just the right level to last.
Otherwise, she might enjoy herself for a while, but miss out on the biggest network of connections in her life, and she would regret it to the core.
Yes, Xu Luoluo is just that kind of realistic person.
The reason she has worked her way up from a small town to where she is today is because she still has ambition. She wants to live the life she desires and gain her freedom through writing.
If it is for the sake of freedom, what cannot be given up?
Having figured all this out, she gradually calmed down, rushed to wash up, and went to bed.
There are still collaborations to discuss later.
This time, Gu Sinian was much more enthusiastic than last time. Last time, he was just a polite friend, but this time, his gaze was burning as if he were looking at a money tree.
Yes, he was attracted to her...writing ability.
"Although we are still in the startup stage, we have already conducted market research, and the prospects are definitely limitless."
Besides restaurants, Gu Sinian has also invested in a game company; he's really going far into other industries.
However, it is a well-known fact that game companies make money, so Xu Luoluo was not very surprised. She was just curious about what kind of company gave him so much confidence.
