Chen Nuo said everything he hadn't said over the past few months, and he felt much more at ease. Afterward, he lifted the quilt to look at the bedsheet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damn, the deposit isn't getting refunded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Yehe lay to one side, her chest still rising and falling. After their conversation, the two were clearly much closer; they were no longer reserved, and lying together felt quite natural.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The flush on the girl's face had not yet faded, like a layer of light red rouge smeared on white jade. Beneath her beautifully curved neck were a pair of deep collarbones; her eyes still held a mist of moisture, and there were damp traces at the corners of her eyes—just like the tooth marks on his shoulder, both were lingering imprints of one another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To say that everything that just happened wasn't intentional on Xia Yehe's part—even a ghost wouldn't believe it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps guessing Chen Nuo's thoughts, Xia Yehe suddenly spoke: \"I've been too tired these past few years, I just wanted to relax. After today, let's both forget about this; no one is allowed to mention it. When the time comes, you go to your university, and I'll continue dancing my dance. Let's not contact each other.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damn, wasn't that line supposed to be said by him? Chen Nuo rubbed his nose, uncharacteristically at a loss for words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then let's not talk about it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Yehe suddenly groaned and said, \"Your hand...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That night, Chen Nuo and Xia Yehe talked for almost the entire night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next morning, the two got up together and went to the troupe to practice dancing for the whole morning. At noon, Chen Nuo shamelessly ran to Xia Yehe's dormitory to take a nap. By the end of the day, in Xia Yehe's words, she had escaped death at least ten times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The absurdity with Xia Yehe finally allowed him to completely shake off the shadow of that silly mute from the bottom of his heart; this was truly an unexpected joy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For this period of time, whether eating or sleeping, although everything seemed normal on the surface, he had actually never moved on, and his personality had become increasingly introverted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After this day, he felt as if a layer of smog had been cleared from his soul; his whole person instantly returned to his past self, as if a heavy stone had been lifted from his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hadn't expected that occasional indulgence could actually have such an effect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Yehe was truly carefree, doing exactly what she said she would. After the absurdity of that day, she returned to her original state. By the second week, they began joint rehearsals. Many other girls from the troupe joined in, and at this point, she treated Chen Nuo like a stranger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Afterward, the director and the main crew finished filming the scenes in Jingcheng and moved to Shanghai, and Chen Nuo officially joined the set to begin filming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Nuo officially realized just how extravagant the filming of a commercial blockbuster with tens of millions in investment could be; it was completely different from Zhang Yi's amateur troupe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On Zhang Yi's side, if they NG'd three or four times, he would be furious with Nini, but Chen Nuo calculated that just for his opening dance, with nearly a hundred people involved, they filmed for a full six days. The amount of film stock consumed alone was likely more than what Zhang Yi used for an entire movie.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Nuo felt his performance could only be considered standard; everything was very smooth. He acted according to his notes and his own understanding, and he didn't feel any difficulty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because in this movie, he was really just a bit player. Chen Nuo and Zhou Xun had the most lines, and even then, only a dozen or so; he had five or six lines with Zhang Xue, and only three with Jin Chengwu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only important part was the first scene, where he needed to act like a sexy man according to Chen Kexin's requirements.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After NG-ing back and forth several times, in the end, he managed to muddle through by relying on his experience from his past life of acting cool in front of the camera.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Chen Kexin seemed quite satisfied. After filming, he specifically invited him to a meal and said they should collaborate again if there was an opportunity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It didn't look like a lie.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All his work in this movie ended there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What are you dazing off for~ What are you thinking about?\" Qi Yuntian patted his shoulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this very moment, it was the twenty-ninth day of the twelfth lunar month. Chen Nuo's scenes had just wrapped the day before, and he was waiting with Qi Yuntian at the airport for their flight back to Jingcheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Nuo glared at Qi Yuntian and said, \"Remember, go back and tell Ms. Li that we will come to pay her a New Year's visit tomorrow.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I already said it on the phone!\" Qi Yuntian shouted, \"My mom said it wasn't necessary, and she wouldn't even let me tell you where I live~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then you can try.\" Chen Nuo squinted at him, \"Don't forget, you are my manager, and I am your boss!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Yuntian rolled his eyes and said, \"Tch, you men just love playing that 'domineering CEO' act ╭(╯^╰)╮\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let's go, woman, time to board.\" \"You... what exactly is going on with that dancer? Haha, stop pretending. What was that woman's name again? I even asked around, Xia... Xia... the one who taught you to dance. Looking at you two, I knew something was definitely up. How many times have you hooked up? Be honest.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xia your head, Xia! Carry my bag!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wow, do you have any humanity, asking a great beauty like me to carry your bag!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you keep talking nonsense, I'll make you carry me on your back.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wow, you really jumped on! You're going to crush me to death! Chen Nuo!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Bi and Pan Chengrong arrived in Jingcheng on the 28th of the twelfth lunar month. They didn't go to stay at the house Chen Nuo rented, which made Chen Nuo breathe a sigh of relief. If those two saw Yang Mi inside the house, they would likely overthink it again and assume he had \"returned to his old ways.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Qi Yuntian found out which hotel they were staying at, he only said one thing: \"Is your family a coal boss?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He said it jokingly, but when he saw Chen Nuo's expression, he was suddenly shocked: \"Is your family really a coal boss?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The small coal mine that Chen Bi contracted was something he took on after being laid off in 1997. At the time, state-owned system reforms were underway, and the mine was considered a hot potato for the city, so Chen Bi took out all his savings and borrowed money from everywhere to secure it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the first five years after Chen Bi got it, they lived in hardship, barely scraping by.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn't until 2002, with China joining the WTO and the rapid economic development, that the demand for coal exploded and coal prices skyrocketed, leading to the prosperous days they had today.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, from 2002 to 2008, \"coal bosses\" were synonymous with the nouveau riche on this land; they splashed their cash across every industry, writing countless golden legends.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Nuo denied it: \"What coal boss, the coal is almost all mined out.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Yuntian looked envious and jealous: \"It's that the money is almost all earned!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the two of them met Chen Bi, he and his wife Pan Chengrong were drinking tea in the hotel lobby. The Chinese-style lobby was very tranquil; besides the solid wood furnishings, there was a stream flowing through it, with rockeries and pebbles, and the sound of murmuring water—even though they were in the city center, it had the charm of the mountains and wilderness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The flow of people was also sparse, with only an occasional well-dressed man or woman entering or exiting, completely different from the noisy and bustling hotel lobbies of ordinary places.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Bi was surrounded by three men and women in suits, holding things that looked like brochures, explaining something to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They're here, they're here!\" As the doorman pulled the door open, Chen Nuo and Qi Yuntian had just entered the lobby when Pan Chengrong, with sharp eyes, spotted them immediately and stood up to walk quickly toward them. Chen Bi also stood up and followed behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as Pan Chengrong approached, her eyes began to redden. She stepped forward quickly, grabbed Chen Nuo in a hug, and said with tears in her eyes: \"Son, why have you gotten so thin and so dark! Chen Bi, come here, look at this! You let your son suffer, right? Look at him, what has he become? What's the difference between him and a beggar on the street? Your own son, don't you feel bad for him!?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Bi looked Chen Nuo over from the side and, hearing this, frowned and said: \"I told you to experience life, but I didn't tell you to mistreat yourself. You should eat and drink as you need. What are you doing?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Nuo said: \"I'm eating quite well, actually I haven't lost any weight at all. By the way, Mom, Dad, let me introduce you, this is my manager, Qi Yuntian. Sister Qi, these are my parents.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Bi had seen the world, and on the phone, Chen Nuo had told him in advance, so when he saw Qi Yuntian's eccentric attire, he didn't even twitch an eyebrow. He shook hands with Qi Yuntian and said: \"Hello, Little Qi, Chen Nuo is immature and has been willful since he was a child; please take care of him in the future.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Yuntian was also very polite: \"Uncle, Chen Nuo is excellent and very motivated; we usually look out for each other.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Pan Chengrong shook hands with Qi Yuntian, she looked at his fingernails and smiled: \"Little Qi's nails are painted so beautifully, Auntie will send you a few other colors another day.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Yuntian was truly happy and smiled: \"Then I'll thank you, Auntie.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let's go, let's go sit over there first,\" Chen Bi greeted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those few people in suits had been following Chen Bi throughout this process, and now, seeing that their pleasantries were over, they all crowded around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh my, Mr. Chen, your son is so handsome, truly young and promising. Come, come, let me take the suitcase for you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sir, let me help you with your bag.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Yuntian's bag was practically snatched away by the beautifully made-up woman in a pencil skirt and small suit. He was happy to follow behind empty-handed, only his eyes smiling as he silently mouthed to Chen Nuo: \"Big spender.\" He also made a money-counting gesture, which earned him a fierce glare from Chen Nuo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The group walked back to where Chen Bi had been staying. Chen Bi sat back in his original seat and said to those people: \"My son is here, so I won't waste any more breath with you. At the latest, before September 1st, I must get the car. If that's possible, I'll order one.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1917,"2026-06-21T01:34:38.888Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","dd2f6eaef81fe5603c2f663b5229fc44f6e9c0e0ad6bf505656c5728ec3312a8","reborn-in-huayu-they-re-forcing-me-to-be-a-jerk--chapter-35","reborn-in-huayu-they-re-forcing-me-to-be-a-jerk--chapter-33",491,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Freborn-in-huayu-they-re-forcing-me-to-be-a-jerk--cover.jpg"]
