Currently, Tang Ren Pictures has average strength and resources.
At best, it's a second-tier company.
Although Luo Yun Chu's family has fallen into decline, as mentioned before,
several of his uncles hold leadership positions at a certain bureau in Beijing.
Everyone knows how vast the mainland market is.
And those in the broadcasting industry have direct control.
Not to mention Tang Ren, even some of the giant companies in China would have to consider whether it's worth it to take on Luo Yun Chu.
Luo Yun Chu, being a social phobe, didn't need these connections before, and he never contacted them.
However, those uncles have always been quite caring towards him.
While he was immature before, now he can contact them and foster their relationships.
Thinking about this, Luo Yun Chu felt a bit sleepy.
With a weary expression, he leaned into Liu Xiao Li's arms, finding a soft spot, rubbed against it, and began to sleep.
Liu Xiao Li felt a bit uncomfortable being leaned on. Looking at Luo Yun Chu resting against her chest, she thought to herself that this child was becoming bolder and bolder.
Luckily, they were in the back seat, with a partition separating them.
She gently stroked Luo Yun Chu's hair in affection, letting him sleep.
Fearing he might sleep uncomfortably, she was extra cautious in everything she did, afraid of waking him up.
After a while,
the car arrived at the Liu family villa outside of Beijing.
Liu Xiao Li carried Luo Yun Chu out of the car and walked towards the house. Normally, she would have called the driver for help.
But today, Xi Xi wasn't home, having gone to school, so she came herself.
She sent him all the way to his bedroom.
As she placed Luo Yun Chu on the bed, he suddenly woke up and wrapped his arm around Liu Xiao Li's slender neck.
Their eyes met, locked in a gaze.
Luo Yun Chu couldn't help but purse his thin lips, lightly brushing his lips against Liu Xiao Li's in a fleeting kiss, before slipping into the covers.
Liu Xiao Li's face flushed red. She instinctively stuck out her tongue, but Luo Yun Chu quickly retreated.
Although she knew Yun Chu didn't mean to, she still felt a sense of shame.
It was her being too... No, it wasn't that.
He was just too tempting, it was hard for her to resist...
Liu Xiao Li hurried out of the room, remembering to close the door.
Luo Yun Chu emerged from the covers and took out his phone to check his messages.
That's right.
He had been pretending to sleep, and he woke up as soon as they got out of the car.
Once he woke up, he couldn't fall back asleep.
Besides Xi Xi Jie, Fan Yi was the one who sent him the most messages.
He had promised to have dinner with her, but then he went to Hong Kong and completely forgot.
Fan Yi: " (Angry) We agreed to have a candlelit dinner together, where are you?"
Fan Yi: "If you don't reply soon, I'm running off with someone else!"
Luo Yun Chu: "Really?"
Fan Yi: "Fake, I'm stuck on you, don't even think about running away."
Luo Yun Chu: "..."
Fan Yi: "Scumbag, are you only going to reply with commas?"
Luo Yun Chu looked at the message, a bit speechless. Fan Yi seemed to be in a bad mood these past few days.
Could it be that she wants him to be her firefighter?
He wasn't wrong to think this way, after all, she was sending him those cheesy love messages, subtly and overtly.
Luo Yun Chu: "I've been in Hong Kong filming these past few days, and my phone was with Yi Yi."
Her reply was almost instantaneous.
Fan Yi: "Filming?! What movie?!"
Luo Yun Chu: "Just a cameo in 'The Legend of the Machine', you can look it up, there should be news soon."
Fan Yi: "Little brother, I really haven't misjudged you. When will you be free, I'll treat you to dinner. You've stood me up for a month, you can't refuse this time, can you?"
Luo Yun Chu: "I might have to go to some auditions recently."
Fan Yi: "(Going crazy)"
Fan Yi: "I don't care, you have to go on a date with me before the end of the year."
Luo Yun Chu agreed. He had stood her up for so long, he couldn't keep doing this.
He really couldn't stand it anymore.
But it was truly too busy. Releasing songs, filming, attending school, plus Yi Yi and Xi Xi Jie, it was hard to find any time.
He had some time last month, but then he went to film 'The Legend of the Machine' in Hong Kong and stayed there for almost a month.
Finally, he had settled things with Fan Yi, and he started replying to others.
He really didn't like chatting online.
But these people seemed to love chatting with him. Sometimes they'd send messages even in the middle of the night. Did they really not need to sleep?
Where did they get so much time and energy?
Luo Yun Chu had never been a simp, so he couldn't understand this behavior.
He only replied to a few friends.
People like Yang Mi, Shu Chang, and Gillian, but he only replied politely.
If they chatted too much, he would be lazy to reply.

Noon · Beijing Film Academy
Liu Yi Fei's classes ended in the afternoon. Knowing that Luo Yun Chu had returned with her mother,
she became restless. She even wanted to ask for leave early to go home.
But she didn't have a good excuse.
Ahhh.
She lay on her desk, feeling bored. She felt that attending classes wasn't as useful as spending a few days on set.
Theoretical knowledge was ultimately just theoretical knowledge.
Why hasn't my cousin replied yet? Could he be asleep?
She stealthily glanced at the screen of her phone, but no message came.
She waited for a while.
A bold idea came to her mind.
She could pretend to be sick and ask the teacher for leave early to go home!
However, Liu Yi Fei, having always been a good girl, had never lied to get leave.
For a moment, she didn't know what excuse to use.
In the end, she had to turn to Shu Chang for help.
She didn't have many friends at school, and she only knew Shu Chang from filming 'Dragon Babu'.
But she wasn't looking to make friends, her cousin was enough.
Everyone else was unimportant.
Upon asking, Shu Chang was also silent, because she didn't know how to lie either.
Both were good girls from good families.
After talking for a while, they came up with the simplest excuse: a stomachache.
Even so, Liu Yi Fei hesitated for a long time, before finally stammering to the teacher about having a stomachache and wanting to take leave.
Anyone observing carefully would know she was lying.
But the teacher just smiled and approved her leave. Who was Liu Yi Fei? An outstanding graduate, practically guaranteed.
What was a leave request? Even if she left school altogether, it wouldn't be a big deal.
While there might not be subjective interpersonal relationships, there was still objectivity.
In this way, Liu Yi Fei, with a confused mind, took her leave slip and left the school. As she walked out of the gate, she couldn't believe it.
Was asking for leave really so easy?
The teacher didn't even ask any questions and just approved it...
With her limited intelligence, Liu Yi Fei simply thought for a moment, quickly putting the problem aside. Filled with joy, she prepared to go home and see her boyfriend!
