Chapter 403: A Chance Meeting with Senior Brother Tong Dawei from the Shanghai Theatre Academy?

The next day.

Lin Mo got up quite early.

Re Ba, full of enthusiasm, tugged him to take a stroll around the residential complex.

The complex's environment was indeed nice—shaded by green trees, filled with birdsong and fragrant flowers, and many celebrities and tycoons lived here; the overall atmosphere was quiet and comfortable.

Re Ba looped her arm through Lin Mo's, strolling leisurely along the pathway, eyes scanning around, then suddenly pointed at something nearby with delight: "Honey, look, there's a little lake over there! Let's go have a look!"

Lin Mo followed her gaze; not far away a shimmering lake surface glistened, with a few waterbirds drifting lazily across the water.

Just as the two were about to walk toward the lake, a voice suddenly came from behind: "Director Lin?"

Hearing the voice, Lin Mo and Re Ba involuntarily turned their heads.

Tong Dawei?

Lin Mo recognized him instantly.

Since he also graduated from the Shanghai Theatre Academy, Lin Mo should, in theory, call him "senior brother".

"Director Lin, it really is you!" Tong Dawei, upon seeing Lin Mo, hurried over.

"Senior brother!"

Lin Mo smiled and greeted him.

Re Ba also sweetly called out, "Senior brother, hello!"

What a good fellow!

That startled Tong Dawei, who quickly waved his hand: "No, no, no, Director Lin, just call me Dawei..."

Although he indeed graduated from the same school as Director Lin.

By seniority, he is indeed Lin Mo's senior brother.

But…

It's still that line—people dare call me Director Lin, but I really can't agree to it.

After all, our statuses are vastly different.

Lin Mo smiled, said little else, and then asked, "Brother Dawei, do you also live here?"

He hadn't heard before that Tong Dawei lived here.

Lin Mo only knew that neighbors such as Huang Bo, Na Ying, and Lao Mouzi had also bought houses here.

But, you know, these celebrities come and go.

So you can't always run into them.

Take Lin Mo, for example.

He and Re Ba usually live in Mo Du, and this house is just a stopover when they come to Yanjing.

Tong Dawei nodded: "Yes, Director Lin, I'd heard Bo Ge and the others say that you also live here. But I never had the chance to meet you; today is truly a coincidence."

Lin Mo smiled and replied, "Usually Re Ba and I are over in Mo Du; we only stay here occasionally, so I didn't expect to run into Brother Dawei today."

Re Ba, smiling, said, "Brother Dawei, we'll be neighbors from now on; feel free to drop by whenever you have time!"

How should I put it.

Although this was Lin Mo's first time meeting Tong Dawei.

He didn't feel unfamiliar at all.

Besides the fact that they are senior brothers from the Shanghai Theatre Academy.

And Tong Dawei debuted early, making him a relatively famous star.

Basically, when his name is mentioned, everyone knows him.

Thus, Lin Mo finds him both familiar and unfamiliar.

Tong Dawei, after hearing that, quickly waved his hand, his face showing a hint of modesty: "Please don't be so formal; Director Lin is a very busy person, and I wouldn't dare to disturb you casually. But if Director Lin has time, we could have tea together and chat."

Lin Mo nodded: "We both came from the Shanghai Theatre Academy, so we're practically family; no need to be so distant."

Tong Dawei, hearing this, smiled even wider: "That's great; since you say so, I won't be modest. By the way, are you two heading to the lake?"

Re Ba nodded, pointing at the nearby lake surface: "Yes, we were just about to go take a look, and didn't expect to run into Brother Dawei."

Tong Dawei smiled and stepped aside: "You two go ahead; I won't disturb you. Let's chat another day when we're free."

Lin Mo, without further politeness, nodded: "Alright, Brother Dawei, we'll head over now. See you later."

"See you later!" Tong Dawei laughed, waving his hand as he saw Lin Mo and Re Ba walk toward the lake.

After they had walked a bit farther, Re Ba leaned toward Lin Mo's ear and said, "I didn't expect Tong Dawei also lives here! I used to love watching him in 'Struggle'!"

'Struggle' was a huge hit back then.

Lin Mo smiled and nodded: "Indeed, I didn't expect that either. I'd heard Jiang Wen Laoge say that Na Ying and Bo Ge also bought houses here, but I never ran into them."

The two walked and chatted, soon reaching the lakeside.

It was indeed quite beautiful.

I'd say so.

It's the kind of spot that photography lovers would never miss.

Re Ba released Lin Mo's hand, ran excitedly to a willow tree, and struck a playful pose: "Honey, this place is gorgeous! Quickly take a few photos of me!"

Lin Mo smiled, pulled out his phone, and aimed at her: "Alright, stay there and don't move; I'll take several shots."

Re Ba blinked, deliberately making a few cute expressions.

Lin Mo, while shooting, praised, "This one looks good, another one, change your pose."

Re Ba, encouraged, turned her back to the lake, spread her arms, mimicking an embrace of the sunshine: "How about this? Does it look artistic?"

Lin Mo nodded, clicking away: "Hmm, like a movie poster."

After a few shots, Re Ba ran over, leaned beside Lin Mo to look at the photos: "Let me see, let me see!" She flipped through the phone's pictures, nodding approvingly: "Not bad, Director Lin's photography has improved!"

Hearing this, Lin Mo smiled and rubbed her head: "Just kidding, I'm taking your photo—how could it be bad~"

Hehe, hubby, then take a few more photos for me~

Re Ba looked very pleased, and hurriedly pulled Lin Mo to take a few more photos of her.

After returning, Re Ba picked out a few of the best photos, no need for retouching, directly posted on Weibo, and specially tagged Lin Mo: "Come take a look, these are the photos Director Lin took for me! @Lin Mo"

Actually, Re Ba is an active user on Weibo.

She often posts on Weibo, and frequently interacts with fans in the comments, so her fan loyalty is high, because everyone knows she's a real person.

Not like Lin Mo..

With tens of millions of fans, it's just like a personal machine.

Wow, Re Ba is really beautiful!

I also want a boyfriend like Director Lin who can take photos!

Same as above!

Huh? Did Re Ba and Director Lin go to Yanjing?

Re Ba, help us ask: when is the second season of Hannibal coming out?

Netizens flooded with comments; Re Ba looked at her phone, smiling so her eyes curved.
