Chapter 721

"We aren't working alone. As artists under a media company, whether we take on acting roles or commercial gigs, the split is basically 30/70. And that doesn't even include food and lodging. It's not as good as you think."

Tian Xiwei sighed deeply and said.

"Ah! Your company is so unscrupulous."

Lin Yu hadn't expected that media companies nowadays would have such a huge appetite; the artists put in all the effort, yet in the end, they are no different from ordinary laborers.

"You bet."

"Our company is actually considered decent. There were companies before that did 20/80 or 10/90 splits, and some artists even had to pay the company out of their own pockets after working for a whole year."

"Unlike you, talking big while standing on the sidelines. You're the number one in popularity in the domestic entertainment industry; no one dares to bully you."

Tian Xiwei raised an eyebrow and said, feigning jealousy.

"You're wrong about that."

"While I gain money and happiness,"

"I also lose my worries!"

"Such a life is not perfect."

Upon hearing Lin Yu's humble-brag,

Tian Xiwei rolled her eyes hard.

Besides!

I'm about to awaken my weightlifting athlete talent!

"Lin Yu, what are your plans for the future?"

"After today, there will definitely be many directors looking to collaborate with you."

"When that time comes, could you..."

Tian Xiwei felt a bit embarrassed and hesitated, leaving her sentence unfinished.

"Could you... take me with you?"

"So this is a beauty trap."

"So, you've been waiting for me all night for this."

Lin Yu opened his mouth wide and said, feigning shock.

"I... I didn't."

"It's not like I don't have roles to play."

"I was just thinking if you could recommend me for any suitable roles."

Tian Xiwei's face turned red, and she hurriedly explained.

She was afraid her impression in Lin Yu's heart would worsen.

"Hahahaha."

"You're annoying! You're teasing me, you're asking for it."

As Tian Xiwei and Lin Yu chased each other, their relationship slowly warmed up.

"What is this for?"

"Photo booth."

Lin Yu rarely visited shopping malls before; when he accompanied Da Mi Mi and Reba, they always went to high-end brand stores.

This was his first time seeing this kind of small cubicle.

"Buddy, are you a country bumpkin coming to the city?"

"You've never played with this?"

Tian Xiwei said with a tone of disdain.

"Oh, oh, oh! Scan this code to take photos."

Lin Yu squinted and looked at the instructions.

It prints instantly, just like a Polaroid; this is indeed quite convenient.

Although mobile phones can also take photos, this retro-style photo booth machine clearly has more nostalgic value.

"Help me pick some special effects."

Tian Xiwei pressed the effect buttons with ease.

Testing back and forth!

This is just like girls' post-processing photo editing; the photos friends usually post on social media are the ones that survived the selection process from dozens of shots.

Tian Xiwei was indecisive, constantly selecting filters and effects.

"This one looks good."

"That one is also not bad."

"They're all fine."

Lin Yu wasn't just flattering her;

Tian Xiwei's face shape was already very soft and beautiful, and with her previous styling, she appeared even more delicate, charming, and cute on camera...

"You should come and take one too."

"Since you're already here."

After Tian Xiwei was satisfied with taking a few photos,

she saw Lin Yu waiting foolishly outside the curtain and greeted him enthusiastically.

Seeing that it was hard to refuse Tian Xiwei's warm invitation,

Lin Yu couldn't decline, and in his heart, he actually had the urge to try the photo booth too.

"Uh... the space inside is too small, isn't it?"

Just as Lin Yu entered the small cubicle,

he felt a wave of heat hit his face.

The scent of Tian Xiwei's perfume permeated the air; it was very elegant, a fragrance of daffodils, making her appear even more ethereal.

Although the perfume wasn't strong, it was intoxicating.

"No."

"To take a two-person photo, you have to move back a bit."

"Ouch."

Tian Xiwei stepped back and bumped right into the partition behind her, clutching the back of her head and grimacing.

And Lin Yu, tripped by Tian Xiwei, lost his balance and leaned forward right in front of her.

Subconsciously, he used one hand to brace himself against the partition.

Their upper bodies were pressed tightly together.

A wall-pin?!

Lin Yu looked down at Tian Xiwei beneath him—a head of black twin tails, bright eyes, exquisite features, petite and delicate, red lips like fire, skin like congealed fat.

It made one want to kiss her!

But before Lin Yu could hesitate,

Tian Xiwei in his arms had already stood on her tiptoes and taken the initiative.

However, because they were in a public place, they separated as soon as they touched, but both could feel the taste of each other's lips and their racing heartbeats.

"I, I have to go home, it's so hot."

Tian Xiwei fanned her flushed cheeks and said shyly.

"So hungry?"

"Then I'll go to your place and make you something to eat."

Lin Yu was also stunned by the sudden kiss.

After mishearing her, he said that out of the blue.

???

Go to my place!

"Uh... that's fine too."

Tian Xiwei fluttered her big eyes, her heart racing like a deer, and she nodded while biting her lip.
