Your future school.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the security guard standing by the side gate, Li Luo shook his head and smiled:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You make it sound like I’m guaranteed admission.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just from the outside, you could tell Beidian wasn’t very large.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Street vendors lined the roadside, selling all kinds of food; steam rose and drifted with the wind, and many students in campus attire paused to buy snacks—this scene was full of everyday vitality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Qing slowed the car slightly and said plainly: “With your abilities, it’s a piece of cake!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She turned the steering wheel, and the car zipped into a nearby residential compound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Your place is here?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Luo turned around in surprise—this spot was separated from Beidian by only one road; he’d thought she was just showing him around, but the car had stopped right here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She pulled the handbrake, her eyes glinting: “This is Beiying Compound. There’s an empty apartment upstairs belonging to a friend of mine.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The dorms at school are crowded. If you’re not used to it—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You can move in anytime.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“As for rent—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She hesitated, holding up her palm, then quickly switched to one finger: “One hundred yuan a month. Water, electricity, gas, and heating are all covered.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Isn’t that a steal?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Beijing girl squinted, smiling with red lips and white teeth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This place was just one road away from Beidian—a short walk would get you to the side gate they’d just seen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not just convenient.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside the car window, the compound’s environment was also very nice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This location, plus this setting—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One hundred yuan, including water, electricity, gas, and heating? It was practically free.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Hengdian, a single bed cost sixty yuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Luo turned helplessly toward the girl behind the wheel—this girl had absolutely no sense of basic prices, yet she could name such an absurd rate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under his gaze,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Qing barely held onto her smile, clinging to her composure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m poor.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Luo sighed softly and said seriously: “So poor I can’t even afford a hundred yuan—but you can tell your friend I can pay rent another way.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Service will be thorough, and the skills guaranteed.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What do you think?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a car and a house, everything arranged so perfectly—she truly cared for him. How could he refuse such kindness?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mm!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Qing nodded firmly, her face lighting up with a radiant smile: “Then it’s settled.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before getting out, Xu Qing put on a fisherman’s hat to disguise herself again; according to her, many school staff and students lived here, and if she wasn’t careful, she’d be recognized.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They stepped into the elevator and rode straight to the seventeenth floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After opening the door,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Warm air rushed out, thick and cozy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No sooner had she set down the luggage than Xu Qing eagerly pulled Li Luo aside to show off her recent efforts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike the dull gray exterior,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The interior followed a white minimalist style, yet every corner exuded refinement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bright decor made one feel instantly at ease.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entrance opened into a spacious living-dining area, with a leather sofa that could seat four or five people, a TV cabinet holding a brand-new large color TV, a refrigerator, a wine cabinet stocked full of drinks and liquor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Didn’t you say you could cook?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Qing excitedly led him to the kitchen, spreading her arms and spinning around: “If you can’t stand the school food, you can cook for yourself.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ll try your cooking sometime.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pots, pans, bowls, chopsticks—all there. In the corner, the refrigerator still had its plastic wrap on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside was a small balcony, housing a washing machine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They returned to the living room, where Xu Qing proudly opened the converted walk-in closet: “I bought some clothes and shoes—all your style.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A full row of AJ sneakers and casual shoes lined the floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clothes and pants hung densely, all simple in design.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most of the clothing was plain-colored.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Hengdian, Li Luo dressed exactly like this—modern fashion tastes were just too hard to stomach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Simpler clothes looked cleaner and fresher.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Mercedes G500 was borrowed, this apartment was temporary—but these items were clearly bought for him. Each one made his head spin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damn, so this is what it feels like to be kept by a rich woman!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the bathroom, the bathtub gleamed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the spacious master bedroom, the bedding on the 1.8-meter bed was folded neatly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The room also had a home theater system, air conditioning, and on the desk sat a brand-new IBM laptop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That thing wasn’t cheap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nowadays, they cost thousands or even tens of thousands—beyond what ordinary people could afford.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, she opened the large balcony outside the master bedroom, offering a full view of the entire Beidian campus; in the distance, students on the basketball court sweated profusely, their shouts drifting faintly over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this living environment and these amenities—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Forget a hundred yuan—even if Li Luo dumped his entire fortune, he couldn’t afford this!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How do you feel?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Qing looked at Li Luo with wide, expectant eyes: “Do you like it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as affection deepened, they were forced to part.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After finishing filming,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back in Beijing, she’d poured all that emotion into this little nest, now finally showing off her work—afraid she’d missed something, nervous inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though she’d only directed others, this was the first time she’d truly given her all to something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Luo took a deep breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A female star adored by countless people, raised in luxury, had gone this far for him—what more could he say?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I love it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He swiftly hoisted the beautiful girl onto his shoulder and pinched her firm, elastic thigh hard: “Anything you prepare for me, I love!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ow~”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing his answer, Xu Qing burst into laughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She pretended to struggle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her long legs swung wildly in the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Stop squirming.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He slapped hard against the plump, rounded buttocks wrapped in jeans, then strode back toward the bedroom: “Now it’s time to pay rent, sir—make sure you feel every bit of it!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hahaha~”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amid a string of bell-like laughter, the balcony door slammed shut.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The spring wind howled in, but was firmly blocked out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It, unwilling to accept defeat, spun in a circle, then drifted to the window, gazed for a moment at the springtime glow within, before reluctantly fading away.\u003C\u002Fp>",1197,"2026-06-20T17:17:01.025Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","23f6311867dc37a505990a578b75df937dca6ac0f649fa5804954453666c9497","how-can-you-be-an-emperor-of-acting-without-lett-chapter-30","how-can-you-be-an-emperor-of-acting-without-lett-chapter-28",461,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fhow-can-you-be-an-emperor-of-acting-without-lett-cover.jpg"]
