Chapter 85: The Mother Tiger Coming Down the Mountain (Two-in-One Chapter)

Beijing Film Academy.

Li Luo scratched his crew cut and walked into the East Gate in a hurry.

The scenes were finished, and his whole body felt relaxed.

Wearing a thick wig for more than ten hours a day in midsummer, anyone who has tried it knows that feeling. Many male actors have developed baldness or hair loss problems due to wearing fake wigs for a long time.

Fortunately, the constitution attribute comprehensively enhances personal physical fitness, which also includes the improvement of self-healing and immune capabilities.

He didn't have to worry about this.

He walked quickly along the familiar road toward Professor Huo Xuan's office.

Now that filming was over, he naturally had to hurry and cancel his leave to attend classes.

Don't look at how generously the Beijing Film Academy grants leave; if you want to successfully get your diploma, you still have to study seriously. This was also a way to increase experience, and Li Luo wouldn't be lazy and let it go.

After chatting with Professor Huo Xuan in the office for a few minutes, he left a box of tea leaves and got up to leave.

The remaining 180,000 balance had arrived on time.

He didn't care about this little bit of social money.

"Oh~~~"

Just as he walked into the lecture hall, jeers erupted.

Even more so.

They started slapping the desks directly.

Looking at the familiar faces, Li Luo raised his arm with a smile. "Comrades, you've worked hard. I, Hu Hansan, have returned! Tonight, Old Northeast Barbecue, let's drink until we drop!"

No matter how much you say, it's not as effective as a barbecue.

The cheers almost blew the roof off.

Fist-bumping and high-fiving one person after another, he passed Jia Naiming, who had stood up, and Li Luo sat down next to Bian Xiaoxiao.

Further over was Huang Shengyi.

"Welcome back."

Amidst a few greetings, Li Luo had another round of fist bumps.

"How was it?"

He opened his brand-new textbook and looked left and right excitedly. "Any news lately?"

Leaving the crew and returning to school.

He inexplicably felt a sense of freshness.

"Yes."

Bian Xiaoxiao nodded, sighing, "We have a junior who is a monster just like you. You haven't seen her; she's so beautiful."

"That's right."

Jia Naiming smacked his lips. "It's just a pity she went to join a crew, it's *Heavenly*..."

"*Cough~~~*"

Huang Shengyi coughed heavily, interrupting his words.

Li Luo had failed to get the role of Duan Yu, so he must be in a bad mood. Everyone had agreed not to mention that drama in front of him.

But as soon as they met, he had let it slip.

"Liu Qianqian, right?"

Li Luo raised his eyebrows and turned his ballpoint pen with a smile. "I saw the news in the newspaper too. She is indeed beautiful, and she's on par with our classmates Huang Shengyi and Bian Xiaoxiao."

He added the last sentence against his will, and the unfriendly gazes nearby immediately became soft.

"It's just a failed audition!"

The ballpoint pen spun up and down between his fingers. "What's the big deal? Maybe there's a better role waiting for me."

Bian Xiaoxiao hurriedly asked, "Do you have a new play?"

"I did get a phone invitation."

Stopping the spinning on his hand, Li Luo signaled for them to sit down. "But I plan to rest for a while."

The acting teacher walked into the classroom, and the noisy conversation quickly disappeared. He didn't chat with them anymore and cheered up to catch up on his study progress.

In a blink of an eye, it was the weekend again.

Li Luo drove straight to the Beijing airport. He had been picked up twice, but this was his first time picking someone up.

In his eager anticipation, he finally saw a familiar figure.

"*Beep beep~*"

Unable to suppress the excitement in his heart, he honked the horn.

Hearing this, the tall girl in the distance quickened her pace, and when she reached the vehicle, she even broke into a light run. With this movement, her chest became shaky.

The small suitcase even made a rustling sound.

"Sister Qing."

Li Luo opened the door and got out, walking quickly to meet her.

The two stopped in unison and said in unison, "You've tanned!"

"Come, help me take this."

Xu Qing forcibly controlled the urge to pounce on him, panting as she handed over the suitcase. "How long have you been waiting?"

"No matter how long, it's worth it."

Easily lifting the suitcase, Li Luo looked her up and down through his sunglasses. "Why are you alone? Where's the assistant?"

After not seeing her for a few months, the Beijing girl had turned wheat-colored.

Still the same short hair as before she left.

But her graceful figure hadn't changed.

Although Xu Qing's scenes were fewer than his, her military drama wasn't ordinary; everything needed to be meticulously crafted, so she ended up wrapping up after him.

Coming here today was to pick her up.

A simple sentence made Xu Qing feel like she had eaten honey.

"It's so hot, hurry up and get in the car!"

She brushed her short hair behind her ears, smiling to reveal her white teeth. "I told her to take a taxi back herself."

Without another word.

Li Luo quickly put the suitcase in the car.

After the Mercedes G-Wagon left a few deep tire marks on the ground, it roared toward the residential area where Xu Qing usually lived.

Stabilizing her swaying figure.

Xu Qing took off her toad-eye sunglasses and stared straight at Li Luo.

Her gaze seemed to be able to pull out threads.

"Don't look at me like that!"

The latter held the steering wheel with his left hand and skillfully reached out to the side with his right. "I'm scared, I feel like I'm being watched by a mother tiger coming down the mountain."

The woman was wearing a pair of white casual shorts.

Extremely convenient for operation.

Where his hand landed, it was all delicate and elastic.

"You're the tiger, you're a male tiger!!!" Xu Qing couldn't stand the hand making trouble, grabbed it, and bit it hard. "It's been months, and you didn't even know how to ask for leave to see me."

This was a real bite; a sharp pain came from his hand.

"Ouch~"

Li Luo grinned and swept a glance to the side. "You know I wanted to visit you, but this was my first play as a male lead, and the Hong Kong director filmed like he didn't want his life."

"How could I have time to leave for a few days."

This was the truth. Actually, when he first got together with Xu Qing, he was somewhat utilitarian.

But as time passed.

Her position in his heart became deeper and deeper.

After not seeing her for a few months, he really missed her.

"*Hmph~*"

Xu Qing then released her teeth and rubbed the deep tooth marks with heartache. "That's more like it."

"By the way, don't take that matter to heart."

Patting her chest, she put on a big sister's posture to comfort him. "It's just a play~ Sister will find one for you. During this time, I've been asking around to see if there's a suitable play for you."

"There will be news soon!"

Although they were far apart, besides chatting on the phone and text messages, Xu Qing still paid attention to Li Luo's dynamics.

The casting of *Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils* had been so hot a while ago.

Newspapers, the internet, it was everywhere. It was impossible for Xu Qing not to notice. Knowing that Li Luo had been cut, she immediately contacted friends in the circle.

Wanting to help find a play with substance.

"No need."

A wave of emotion rose in his heart, but Li Luo still refused decisively. "I plan to rest for a while, and wait by the way!"

"Wait for what?"

As soon as Xu Qing said this, she quickly reacted. "You have so much confidence in that play?"

Under normal circumstances, actors should take a play if they have one.

Filming, after all!

It's like taking a gamble.

No one knows which play will be a hit, and which play will make people disappear into the crowd.

Only by filming more can you have a chance to become popular.

"Of course I have confidence."

Li Luo tapped the steering wheel lightly, looking ahead with a focused expression. "The post-production progress is very fast now. It's estimated that it will be broadcast in a few months. Even if I want to film, it won't be much of a difference in time."

"After it airs, I won't be so passive!"

Failing to get Duan Yu was somewhat of a blow.

After *Heavenly Sword and Dragon Slaying Sabre* airs, his qualifications will add a thick stroke.

By then.

It won't be the passive situation it was before.

While speaking, Li Luo exuded strong confidence, making Xu Qing's eyes infatuated.

The car sped along and soon arrived at a high-end residential area.

Xu Qing wasn't short of money.

This woman didn't just have one place to live.

Besides occasionally going home, she spent the most time in this place when she was in Beijing, which was considered a private space for her alone. Of course, since she met Li Luo, it couldn't be considered for her alone anymore.

The people living in the residential area were either rich or expensive.

Security was very tight.

Out of privacy considerations, Xu Qing couldn't run to the Beijing Film Academy residential area often, so they gathered here from time to time.

When walking into the elevator, the two maintained a normal social distance.

Only eye contact between them.

But as soon as they walked into the large open-plan unit.

As the door closed, the social distance became negative within a few breaths.

Don't look at Xu Qing being tanned to wheat-colored.

But some places were as pink as ever.

Li Luo couldn't put it down.

Filming martial arts dramas has this benefit; his hand skills were improving day by day. Kneading, poking, pinching, flicking, rubbing, a set of techniques later, Ren Yingying, who was still putting on an act, was completely conquered.

Her knees softened, and she obediently squatted down.

She cast a charming glance upward.

Afterward.

All attention was focused on Little Li Luo.

First, a deep breath.

Then sweeping forward.

Absence makes the heart grow fonder; this sentence is absolutely correct.

Until the sun went down.

The movement in the large unit finally stopped.

【Reunion after a long absence, fighting endlessly】

【Indulgence successful】

【Reward, Form Experience +50】

Li Luo lay spread-eagled on the carpet, his gaze fixed on the exquisite crystal chandelier on the ceiling. The crystal reflections mirrored countless versions of himself and Xu Qing, the scene dreamlike.

"You're even more powerful."

Xu Qing turned to her side, looking at her little lover with satisfaction.

Where she turned over, the carpet was soaked with sweat, leaving a human-shaped imprint.

"I want to buy a car."

As the other party's face changed slightly, Li Luo continued, "Of course I like the car you lent me, but it's too flashy. I believe you can understand."

"Alright!"

Xu Qing put her thigh on him, rubbing gently. "I have another sedan."

Of course she could understand.

For public figures like them, sometimes they are very contradictory.

On one hand.

They extremely crave the attention of news media and enjoy the happiness brought by the spotlight.

But on the other hand, they rack their brains to avoid cameras.

Trying to gain some private space.

"*Mmm~*"

Before he could speak, his mouth was pressed by a finger, and Li Luo looked at the Beijing girl with a smile. "I don't care what other cars you have. I want to buy this car myself. Don't forget I'm a rich man now!"

"Good, good, good."

Xu Qing bit the finger that reached over, unable to help laughing. "You are the richest man in the world."

"By the way, what kind of car do you want to buy?"

"Second-hand."

Li Luo calculated in his heart and continued, "Five to eighty thousand is fine. Do you have any connections in this regard?"

At this time, most expenses were very worthwhile.

But buying a car was a pit.

Expensive.

And the configuration was low.

He wouldn't be willing to spend a lot of money to buy an old antique car from this era.

Unless it was a million-level one.

Most cars now didn't have much collection value.

"Hahaha."

Hearing this, Xu Qing couldn't help laughing out loud, her chest shaking along with it.

A moment ago, he said he was a rich man.

A moment later, he wanted to find a second-hand car for a few tens of thousands.

The level of wealth was quite limited.

"You dare to laugh at me."

Li Luo immediately got anxious, his fingers quickly tickling the other party's waist.

"Haha~"

"Don't tickle, it's so itchy!!!"

Xu Qing struggled to fend him off, laughing as she turned over, trying to crawl away to the side. "I was wrong, I shouldn't have mocked you, a rich man with a few tens of thousands, hahaha, help, I can't take it anymore!"

Li Luo gritted his teeth and pounced from behind, controlling the mother tiger who had eaten her fill again.

"Find Jiang Wen."

Her head tilted high back, her hands gripping the carpet tightly. "That guy likes to play with cars. You just need to call him, gently..."

After a short rest of a few minutes.

The "Ode to the Goose" continued.

He said he would let Li Luo contact him.

But Xu Qing called the big director with that personality that very night to consult about cars.

They had played mahjong and drank heavily together a few times, so Jiang Wen naturally wasn't a stranger to Li Luo, and he had a pretty good impression of this sworn younger brother recognized by Xu Qing, so he immediately patted his chest and agreed.

The next day, the two came to Jiang Wen's house.

Li Luo and Xu Qing had just walked into the entrance of the hutong when they saw Jiang Wen dressed like an old Beijing grandfather.

Big shorts, white undershirt.

Holding a cattail leaf fan in his hand.

This guy was standing next to a black Jeep Grand Cherokee.

"Yo~"

Xu Qing took off her sunglasses and teased, "Grandpa, you're busy~"

"You girl, go away!" Jiang Wen closed the car door and flicked the fan in his hand. "You raised my generation for no reason, what do you want to do?"

"Don't buy a car for fifty or sixty thousand."

He threw something with his hand, and a bunch of keys flipped and flew toward Li Luo. "It's too shabby, you're a male lead after all."

"This Grand Cherokee was bought last year, I've been a bit rough with driving."

"But the car condition is still okay."

"I just happened to want to change to a car to play with. You transfer 150,000 to me later, drive it away after playing mahjong, handle the procedures later, don't be wishy-washy."

The keys cast a brilliant light in the sun.

It drew a perfect arc and landed steadily in Li Luo's hand.

He had thought that coming here today meant the other party would take him to stroll around some familiar car dealer.

Li Luo had been thinking about choosing carefully.

Now, in just a few words, a Grand Cherokee that was 80-90% new belonged to him!

"Thanks, Brother Wen."

Li Luo didn't be vague, raising the keys and saying thanks.

He liked off-road vehicles to begin with.

Although it couldn't compare to the Mercedes G-Wagon, the price of the Grand Cherokee wasn't low, basically around 500,000. This price could buy a small apartment in the Third Ring Road now, considered a proper high-end off-road vehicle.

And this car's appearance wasn't as flashy as the G-Wagon, which Li Luo liked very much.

A car that had been driven for a year would depreciate more or less, but no matter how much it depreciated, it couldn't depreciate to 150,000.

At this price, Jiang Wen was basically selling it for half and giving it away.

Although it exceeded his budget.

But the way the other party handled this matter gave Li Luo no reason to refuse.

"I just like your kid's straightforwardness."

The cattail fan flicked quickly a few times, and Jiang Wen greeted the two to enter the house. "Play mahjong, play mahjong, you can get familiar with this car later. Zhou Yun is also here, just four missing two!"

Zhou Yun was the confidante the other party had just met not long ago.

The two also stepped into the hall of marriage later.

Li Luo spun the car keys in his hand and spread his hands toward Xu Qing. He didn't expect that as soon as this big girl came back, she would help him pick up a big bargain.

The latter grinned, lips red and teeth white. ===== CHAPTER 86 =====
