Chapter 182

Before long, Yang Mi came bouncing out of the stairwell, then opened the car door and sat in the passenger seat.

Today, Yang Mi was still wearing a white T-shirt and a pleated skirt, but her socks had been changed to small black silk stockings, and her shoes to sandals.

After getting in, Yang Mi leaned straight over.

Mmm...

A moment later, the two separated.

"Hee hee, I just got a call; I passed my art exam."

Yang Mi said excitedly, her eyes squinting into crescents.

"Not bad, worthy of being my little wife. What do you want to eat later?"

Chen Mo asked with a smile.

Yang Mi's pretty face flushed, but she didn't refute it. "Mmm, hot pot."

Hearing Yang Mi's words, Chen Mo started the car and drove away from downstairs of Yang Mi's home.

Along the way, Yang Mi chattered away.

"I want to go see a movie tomorrow. By the way, I heard Director Chen Kai filmed a movie called *The Promise*. It seems it's being released for the New Year season this year. Shall we go watch it when the New Year comes?"

Hearing Yang Mi mention *The Promise*, Chen Mo was stunned for a moment.

Then, his expression became somewhat peculiar.

*Who wants to see what I'm wearing under this outfit?

That was the classic line from Zhang Baizhi in *The Promise*. As it turned out, three years later, netizens across the country saw exactly what she was wearing under her outfit.

"Uh, our company also has a movie being released during the New Year. Let's go watch that one instead."

"What movie? Is it that *Crazy Stone*?"

Yang Mi asked, puzzled.

Chen Mo nodded with a smile.

In his past life, *Crazy Stone* launched Ning Hao's *Crazy* trilogy and made a whole wave of people famous!

The various jokes and lines in it could be called classics.

To be honest, Chen Mo was really looking forward to it.

"Mmm, okay."

Yang Mi nodded.

"By the way, I have to go to North America tomorrow. There's a film crew preparing over there, and I need to go take a look."

Chen Mo added, having remembered something.

"Then when will you be back?"

"In about a week."

"Okay."

As the two chatted, the car soon arrived at the hot pot restaurant.

After finishing the hot pot, Chen Mo took Yang Mi out for a stroll.

Just like that, time passed unconsciously until evening.

Once there is a first time, there will be a second.

So this time, Chen Mo took Yang Mi directly to the hotel they had visited before, and the two checked into a room.

After entering the room, Chen Mo leaned in close.

"Mmm..."

"Wait a second, the socks..."

"It's fine, keep them on..."

The night passed in silence.

The next day, Chen Mo dropped Yang Mi off downstairs at her apartment complex. After a reluctant farewell, Chen Mo headed to the airport.

Upon arriving at the airport, Chen Mo finally remembered his little assistant, Xu Xiaofeng.

He took out his phone and called Xu Xiaofeng. Before long, Xu Xiaofeng arrived at the airport pulling a suitcase.

Then, the two boarded a plane to North America.

On the plane.

Chen Mo sat by the window, while Xu Xiaofeng sat next to him.

"Brother Mo, do you want to rest for a bit?"

Xu Xiaofeng asked in a low voice.

After speaking, she took a small eye mask out of her handbag and handed it to Chen Mo.

Chen Mo took the eye mask and put it on.

The eye mask gave off a scent of lavender. Upon smelling it, Chen Mo couldn't help but relax, and before he knew it, he fell asleep.

When Chen Mo woke up again, more than seven hours had passed.

Feeling a slight ache in his shoulder, Chen Mo turned his head and saw Xu Xiaofeng's little head resting on his shoulder, her mouth slightly open, drool wetting his clothes, and a faint snoring sound coming from her nose.

Although Chen Mo's interactions with Xu Xiaofeng sometimes seemed like he was bullying her, seeing how soundly she was sleeping, Chen Mo didn't wake her, choosing instead to maintain his posture.

More than three hours passed.

Xu Xiaofeng finally woke up slowly.

Opening her eyes and seeing herself leaning on Chen Mo's shoulder, Xu Xiaofeng's pretty face flushed red instantly. Then, seeing the patch on Chen Mo's clothes dampened by her drool, she was so embarrassed she wished she could crawl into a hole.

"Did you sleep very late yesterday?"

Chen Mo asked with a smile.

Xu Xiaofeng lowered her crimson face and nodded embarrassedly. "Mmm, I didn't sleep..."

"You didn't sleep all night? What were you doing?"

Chen Mo looked at Xu Xiaofeng with some surprise. No wonder she slept so soundly; she hadn't slept at all.

"Packing."

"Packing what?"

"Chargers, batteries, clothes, socks, toothbrush, toothpaste..."

Xu Xiaofeng said softly.

Chen Mo laughed upon hearing this. "You don't need to pack those things; the hotel has them all. If you're missing anything, just buy it."

Hearing Chen Mo's words, Xu Xiaofeng opened her mouth but stopped herself.

Three hours later.

The plane arrived at Los Angeles Airport.

Because the villa Chen Mo's family bought here hadn't been lived in for several years, the two took a taxi to a hotel after getting off the plane.

After finding a hotel and booking rooms, Chen Mo told Xu Xiaofeng to go back to her room to rest, while he took a car to the Momei Company branch in North America.

At the same time, at the Momei Company, Director Jon was currently holding auditions.

Standing before him was a middle-aged man with a somewhat haggard face.

"Hello, Director. I am Little Downey..."

Downey politely handed his actor profile to Jon.

Although Jon knew who the person in front of him was and had his entire file, he still took the profile and looked down at it.

After a while, Jon said, "Alright, Mr. Downey. Actually, your profile and your history are known to everyone in Hollywood. I hope you can give me a reason to give you a chance."

Downey felt bitter. His ignorance and willfulness back then had led to him being locked up for several years.

Since getting out, he had been running around for the past two years, rushing between major film crews, trying to win a single opportunity.

Actually, he had already made up his mind before coming to this interview.

If he missed this chance again, he would choose to leave Los Angeles, find a farm to work on, and live a simple life.

As for the dreams deep in his heart...

Fine! To hell with dreams!

People always have to bow their heads!

"I don't have a reason that can convince you, but I hope you can give me a chance to audition. Treat me as an ordinary person just seeking an opportunity. Please rest assured, I will only take five minutes of your time."

Downey said earnestly.

Hearing Downey's words, Jon was silent for a moment, then nodded. "Alright, I'll give you five minutes."

Little Downey felt a surge of joy in his heart.
