Chapter 37 What was perceived as an attack was actually a reward.
After successfully passing the audition, Lin Hao rushed home with the good news in his heart.
The main character.
His first leading role.
In his previous life, he spent ten years trying to get a leading role, but in this life, he landed one in just two movies.
Although we haven't discussed the salary yet and will talk about it when we sign the contract after the New Year, just the word "protagonist" means that the system's support will be on a much higher level.
The opportunity for middlemen to profit from price differences is finally about to open up.
Lost in thought, Lin Hao had already arrived at his doorstep.
He took out his key and was about to insert it into the lock.
The door was suddenly pulled open from the inside.
Immediately afterwards, a loud and clear female voice rang out.
"You damn rat! Take this!!"
A foot wearing a cotton slipper kicked him in the stomach with lightning speed.
Yang Mi.
Yang Mi, who joined the cast to film Guo Xiang, has somehow already returned to the capital.
At that moment, he launched a sneak attack on him with a fierce expression.
Lin Hao did not dodge.
His hand precisely grasped Yang Mi's ankle.
The entire movement was fluid and clean. Thanks to the martial arts training he received during his time on the set of "The Return of the Condor Heroes," his reaction speed and body coordination are now far superior to those of the average person.
Yang Mi's attack was stalled in mid-air.
With one foot dangling there, unable to move forward or backward, the person relied on the other leg for balance, swaying precariously.
That posture, to put it nicely, is called "standing on one leg like a golden rooster," but to put it bluntly, it's like "dropping the ball halfway through a kick."
Lin Hao looked down at the ankle he was holding in his hand.
For some reason, some online discussions about Yang Mi from my past life suddenly flashed through my mind.
Hmm... ankle...
He smiled.
The laughter seemed a bit inexplicable.
What you perceive as an attack might actually be a reward.
Yang Mi: "???"
Before she could even comprehend this nonsensical remark, she felt the shame of having her ankle held.
"Hey, hey, hey! Brother Hao! Let go! Let go!"
Her face went from a sullen pink to an embarrassed blush.
Lin Haole said he'd had enough and released his grip.
Yang Mi pulled her foot back as if she had been electrocuted, stood up straight, and glared at him fiercely, her eyes filled with a look that seemed to want to burn him to ashes on the spot.
"So Guo Xiang learned leg techniques." Lin Hao chuckled as he walked into the house.
"Shut up!"
Upon entering the house, Lin Hao looked around the living room.
His father wasn't there, and neither was his mother.
Yang Mi was the only one.
"Why are you the only one here?"
"Aunt Zhang went to buy groceries and told me to wait for you here." Yang Mi plopped down on the sofa, crossing her legs naturally. "But what about you? Aunt Zhang said you went to the audition? How did it go?"
Lin Hao did not answer her question directly.
He first glanced around the empty living room, then looked at Yang Mi with a very subtle look, and slowly curled his lips into a chilling smile.
"So... it's just the two of us at home now, right?"
Yang Mi's expression changed instantly.
She instinctively shrank into the corner of the sofa, clutching a cushion tightly in front of her.
"Rat! I know I'm charming, and you're at that age where you're full of youthful vigor... but you can't do this!"
"Why can't I do that? I didn't do anything!"
Lin Hao sat down opposite her with an innocent look on his face, poured himself a glass of water, and drank it leisurely.
Yang Mi paused for two seconds, then realized she might have overreacted.
That dead rat was just teasing her on purpose.
She angrily threw the cushion at him.
"Seriously! How did the audition go?"
"We've got it." Lin Hao said casually, "We'll start filming after the New Year."
Yang Mi was first pleasantly surprised, then impressed, and finally a little proud and arrogant.
She crossed her legs, raised her chin, and placed her hand on the sofa armrest, looking every bit like a big sister.
"It's just so-so! Do you think I'm some little cutie like you, worrying about the next project after finishing the last one? I have at least three or four projects lined up for me next year! If you keep calling me 'sister,' I'll introduce you to some acting opportunities!"
Lin Hao: "I have a bad stomach, I can't eat hard food. How about I find a different sugar daddy?"
Yang Mi was drinking water and almost spat it out.
Her expression became very subtle.
Surprisingly... he actually thought about it seriously.
"puff……"
Seeing the obvious smile on Lin Hao's face as he tried to suppress a laugh, Yang Mi suddenly snapped out of her daze.
"Dream on!"
She was so angry that she grabbed a cushion and threw it at him again.
After a while, the two quieted down.
Yang Mi suddenly became serious.
"Seriously, Haozi," she said, her tone unusually devoid of teasing, "how about... you sign with a company? Having a company means more resources. Sign with Rong Xinda with me, and then, together we'll be invincible!"
Lin Hao was slightly touched when he saw her serious expression.
Yang Mi is a sharp-tongued girl, but she always thinks of him when it matters.
He had considered signing with a company.
Some companies do gain access to more resources, but they also face more restrictions.
In his past life, he was betrayed and killed by his company.
He signed a contract, was sidelined, sued, embroiled in lawsuits, and ultimately died in despair.
He never wanted to experience that feeling of being manipulated again in his life.
"We'll see." He didn't directly refuse, but the reserve in his tone was obvious. "Right now, I'd rather run it myself."
Yang Mi glanced at him, her lips moved as if to speak, but in the end she didn't try to persuade him any further.
She understands Lin Hao.
Once this person makes a decision, nothing can change their mind.
Just then, the sound of a key unlocking the door came from outside.
Lin Jianguo and Zhang Xiu returned together.
Zhang Xiu carried groceries, while Lin Jianguo carried a bag of fruit.
Seeing Lin Hao and Yang Mi sitting in the living room, Zhang Xiu's lips immediately curled up.
"You're back? Perfect timing! I'll go make dinner. Mimi, don't leave, eat here."
Yang Mi sweetly replied, "Okay, Aunt Zhang," and then quickly followed Zhang Xiu into the kitchen to help.
Looking at her attentive manner, Lin Hao suddenly felt... this girl was more at ease than at her own home.
