by the time Li Luo returned home, autumn was crisp and clear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He just missed this year’s college entrance exam.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But delaying it until next year isn’t bad—gives more time to prepare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aside from his own parents,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>no one in his family knew about the acting job.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for promotional news about The Smiling, Proud Wanderer, the remote small county in 2000 was simply out of touch with the times; even if occasional acquaintances noticed, they instinctively assumed they’d mistaken someone else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The production still had some scenes left to shoot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Add in post-production, promotion, and scheduling, and the drama wouldn’t air until at least February or March next year.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So Li Luo wasn’t worried at all about being recognized.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even when it aired, he wasn’t afraid—there’s always a dimensional wall between a real person and their TV image.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as he didn’t go around blabbing about it, anyone who saw him would just think he looked familiar, maybe say, “Hey, you look just like that guy!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After returning home,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>he immediately threw himself into reviewing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even with memories from this life, he’d still taken a year off school; if he didn’t pick up his books, he’d easily fail.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, the reborn Li Luo had sharp hearing and keen eyesight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His mind was exceptionally agile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Starting from first-year high school material and working backward, he quickly got back into rhythm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During a phone call with Xu Qing, after discussing this issue, his mindset relaxed instantly—the admission score for Beijing Film Academy’s Acting Department hadn’t exceeded 300 points yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a little preparation, hitting that score was fairly easy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The real challenge was the BFA arts exam.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That one stage would filter out countless candidates, but for the current Li Luo, the arts exam felt unusually easy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The skills he’d already acquired weren’t just for show.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His status as a repeat student\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>was quickly settled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He successfully registered as an arts candidate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time slipped by, and soon it was early 2001; with Xu Qing’s help, he successfully registered for the BFA entrance exam.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All was ready, just waiting for the right wind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>February 20th.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slinging his backpack over his shoulder, Li Luo tightened his black down jacket and strode out of Beijing Capital Airport.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>he let out a loud sneeze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gazing at the gray, hazy sky, he rubbed his slightly itchy nose from the dry air, then pulled out his phone and dialed; after one buzz, the call was answered instantly: “Xiao Luo, did you land yet?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yeah.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Luo glanced around and gave his location.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Following the voice on the phone, he walked outward, turned a corner, and spotted a black off-road beast parked under the shade of trees.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its body was boxy, sharply angular.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Exuding a rugged aura.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside sat a person wearing a fisherman’s hat—the familiar outfit made him recognize Xu Qing at a glance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hadn’t expected such a delicate-looking woman\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>to actually like driving such a rugged vehicle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The car’s logo was simple: just a large three-pointed star.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Undoubtedly an old-model Mercedes G-Class.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, by today’s standards, it was definitely the latest version.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While he was examining the car’s exterior, Xu Qing suppressed the urge to get out, waving her arms excitedly and quickly honking the horn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Months apart, she’d been waiting with bated breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only had she counted the days on her fingers, she’d arrived early today.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The horn jolted her back to reality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Luo waved and smiled, striding over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Qing-jie.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stepping onto the footrest, he slid into the passenger seat: “Why are you dressed like this?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thud~”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The door shut smoothly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This isn’t on set,” Xu Qing mumbled through her hat and face covering. “You have no idea how annoying the paparazzi are—The Smiling, Proud Wanderer’s about to air; we can’t afford to be careless.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cabin was warmly heated; she wore only a thin T-shirt on top.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A perfect curve traced down from her collarbone, her long legs tightly hugged by denim jeans, extending into black leather knee-high boots.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her slender figure looked strikingly sharp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before she could say more, Li Luo leaned over and swiftly pulled off her face covering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Months of intense studying at home, not even a hint of romance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First things first—quench the thirst.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the Mercedes, two goldfish twisted and tangled together, chasing each other playfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were having a blast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mmm~”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a long while, Xu Qing squirmed, her voice muffled with pleading: “Xiao Luo, stop—it’s outside, someone might see!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mm.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Holding her delicate chin, Li Luo reluctantly let go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His burning gaze made the Beijing girl feel delightfully flattered—she was very pleased with her charm and his reaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I missed you!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As her breathing steadied, she reached out to touch his handsome face, murmuring:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This troublemaker had left her tossing and turning countless nights.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her gaze dropped lower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She spotted one lone peak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She swallowed hard, her breath turning ragged again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Same here.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pinching her cheek, Li Luo quickly shifted focus, pulling his seatbelt across his body: “I never thought you’d drive a car like this.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his mind, Xu Qing should’ve preferred a gentler coupe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How to describe her?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So sweet, so dainty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Driving such a rugged off-roader felt wildly out of character.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t you think the visibility’s great?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Qing flashed her white teeth, tapping the steering wheel proudly. “Besides, this car looks so cool. Oh, I just bought this Mercedes G500 not long ago.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You got your driver’s license, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yep.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Luo answered casually, still examining the interior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a million-yuan luxury car.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’d never had much chance to encounter one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To his future self, the interior looked retro—but also brand-new, with an oddly surreal freshness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Good.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Qing smiled, flicking the key: “This car’s yours now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What do you mean?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Li Luo frowned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His expression darkened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though not particularly comfortable, this car was undeniably luxurious—any man would love it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he didn’t want to accept her wealth this way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It made him look like a gold-digger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if he did eat off her,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>he’d do it with pride!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s not what I meant!” Xu Qing panicked, waving her hands as she saw his face stiffen. “I just thought this car’s so cool—you’d probably like it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And having a car in Beijing makes transportation easier.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t be mad, okay?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She pouted and shook Li Luo’s arm: “Hailing a taxi in Jingcheng is so hard—next time you miss me, just drive over~~~”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though she was in her early thirties, when she pouted she acted like a young girl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And it didn’t feel odd at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dual charm of mature woman and young girl was fully unleashed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Qing was afraid Li Luo might feel uncomfortable; after all, their economic conditions were vastly different, and she didn’t want to create any psychological pressure for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Luo nodded reluctantly: “But I’m doing this for you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Just this once—never do this again!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Got it~”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Qing rewarded him with a sweet kiss: “Where to next?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“First, let’s circle the Monument.” He’d never been to Jingcheng in either life, so he had to see it—he rubbed his stomach: “Then, hot pot mutton—and then!!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He smirked, his gaze sinking deep into her cleavage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Qing took a deep breath and slammed the accelerator.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Mercedes G500 roared to life and sped toward Chang’an Street.\u003C\u002Fp>",1241,"2026-06-20T17:17:01.025Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","020720b4ace4b39519e50c1981aaf8530d44ed9756c6b57950585231fb5eb9e7","how-can-you-be-an-emperor-of-acting-without-lett-chapter-29","how-can-you-be-an-emperor-of-acting-without-lett-chapter-27",461,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fhow-can-you-be-an-emperor-of-acting-without-lett-cover.jpg"]
