Chapter 33 Being a womanizer is fine
The mentors surrounded Lin Hao with such enthusiasm that they only dispersed reluctantly when a staff member backstage politely reminded them, "Teachers, there are still more programs to come."
Before parting ways, everyone handed their contact information to Lin Hao.
Business card, phone number, and even an office landline number written on a napkin.
Lin Hao looked down at the stack of things in his hand, his expression quite complicated.
It feels great to be chased by people, but the problem is that the direction these people are chasing is completely different from the path he wants to take.
The opera department, the directing department, and even a vocal music teacher appeared out of nowhere...
His chosen path is clear: film and television acting.
acting.
Make money.
The middleman makes a profit from the price difference.
These three things are indispensable.
Therefore, faced with the enthusiastic recruitment of several mentors, Lin Hao chose the most dignified approach: retreating to advance.
"Teachers, I haven't even taken the art exam yet, it's too early to talk about these things now. I'll think about my future direction after I get into university next year."
After hearing this, the mentors felt it was inappropriate to press the matter further.
After all, what they said makes sense.
Asking a high school student who hasn't even been admitted to university to decide on a direction now is indeed a bit too hasty.
Besides, we're all respectable people; we can't just cling to someone's arm like those market vendors.
So, the mentors made a pact that "you must come find me after you pass the exam," and then left with a lot of lingering feelings.
The backend has returned to normal operation.
The performance outside was still going on, and the melodious sounds of traditional opera could be faintly heard coming from the direction of the stage.
Lin Hao stretched his slightly sore shoulders.
That performance just now definitely took a lot of energy.
Just as he found a chair to sit down and rest for a while, Huang Shengyi walked over.
She watched the entire scene where she was surrounded by the mentors, and remained silent throughout.
To be honest, my mindset is a bit complicated.
But she's not the type of person who wears her emotions on her sleeve.
She had completely composed herself by this moment, and when she walked over, she had her signature calm smile on her face.
"Junior, I promised to treat you to dinner after the performance, are you coming?"
"Let's go." Lin Hao didn't hesitate for a second; he was indeed hungry.
Huang Shengyi raised an eyebrow. "What do you want to eat?"
"Anything is fine, as long as it's not completely vegetarian."
Huang Shengyi was speechless for a moment after hearing his words, but she wasn't angry. Instead, she laughed.
"What about Sichuan cuisine?"
"It's a bit spicy."
"Peking duck? Quanjude and Bianyifang are both good."
"I've been eating this since I was a child."
"hot pot?"
"A bit greasy."
Having said that, the two looked at each other.
The air became quiet.
Huang Shengyi's expression slowly changed.
The smile turned into confusion, the confusion into sudden realization, and the sudden realization into an indescribable subtlety.
She suddenly realized something.
This situation seems very familiar.
Generally speaking, when a guy invites a girl to dinner, the girl says "anything is fine" or "anything is okay," but when the guy asks more questions, she says this won't work or that won't do.
Now, the situation has completely reversed.
She became the "pursuer" who was criticized to the point of questioning his existence.
Huang Shengyi was completely numb.
So you're really going to let her experience the difficulties of a guy pursuing a girl?
"Which girl did you learn this from?" Huang Shengyi teased, annoyed. "You're too picky."
Lin Hao smiled innocently. "Are you really treating me sincerely? You're already complaining about my pickiness before we've even started eating?"
"Look at you!" Huang Shengyi slapped her thighs with both hands. "You're just like most girls!"
The two of them couldn't hold back their laughter and burst out laughing.
A few staff members who hadn't left yet glanced back at the scene, then silently turned back.
We won't delve into what those two are up to.
Anyway, it looks pretty fun.
After laughing, Lin Hao waved his hand, "I was just kidding. Anything is fine with me, you decide."
Huang Shengyi thought for a moment, then her eyes suddenly lit up.
"I'll take you somewhere."
"Where?"
"The place where I ate my last meal before I got my first audition." Her tone suddenly became more serious. "I was so nervous before that audition, so I went to that restaurant and ate a bowl of noodles. I got the role the next day. Ever since then, I've felt that place brings good luck."
She looked at Lin Hao and smiled, "You're going to audition next, you'll definitely dominate the scene."
Lin Hao raised an eyebrow. "There's such a great place? I'd better check it out."
"Walk!"
Twenty minutes later.
The two stood in front of a hole-in-the-wall restaurant.
The storefront was pitifully small, the lettering on the signboard was faded, and there was a crack in the steps at the entrance.
But it was steaming hot inside, and the aroma wafting out was quite authentic.
The moment I pushed the door open, a middle-aged woman wearing an apron immediately peeked out from behind the counter.
"Oh! Saint Yi?" The proprietress's voice was so loud it could wake up customers in the neighboring shop. Her eyes swept over Lin Hao, and her smile widened. "You brought your boyfriend?"
Huang Shengyi suddenly stopped in her tracks.
The composed smile on her face visibly turned red.
"Friends! Friends!" she quickly corrected herself, speaking so fast it sounded like she was reciting a tongue twister.
The proprietress gave her a knowing look. "Aren't boyfriends friends too?"
Completely at a loss, Huang Shengyi gave up struggling and patted the counter with a smile, "A set meal for two, please!"
Although she verbally objected, she wasn't actually opposed to that way of addressing her.
I even secretly thought... it sounded quite pleasant.
The two found a seat by the window and sat down. While waiting for the food, Huang Shengyi rested her chin on her hands and tilted her head to look at Lin Hao.
"Junior, I have a personal question for you."
"ask."
"Are you dating anyone? What kind of person do you like?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Hao let out a long sigh.
Huang Shengyi was taken aback by his reaction. "What's wrong? I just asked you a question and you're sighing?"
"Sigh, I guess I'm just too lucky with women," Lin Hao shook his head with a worried look. "Too many people like me, and I'm a good person, I don't want to let any of them down. But tell me, if I start a relationship, wouldn't that be letting down all the others?"
Huang Shengyi's chopsticks stopped in mid-air, her expression changing from curiosity to speechlessness, and finally settling on a single word.
clothes!
"Being a womanizer is one thing, but 'not wanting to let others down' is another?" She rolled her eyes. "And you talk like you're a fortune teller. How do you know you're attracting a lot of romantic attention?"
"Wow! I actually do it."
Upon hearing this, Huang Shengyi's eyes lit up, and she leaned forward, determined to get to the bottom of it.
"Then calculate it for me! What about my future?"
Lin Hao picked up the water glass in front of him, took a sip, and his eyes darted around slightly.
He thought about Huang Shengyi's future experiences.
If her memory is accurate, it won't be long before this girl has to make a bet with the company.
The outcome of that bet directly changed the course of the latter half of her acting career.
Of course, he couldn't say these things directly.
But if you can remind someone of something, then do so.
"Judging from your expression..." Lin Hao put down his cup, his tone suddenly becoming serious, "Take my advice, don't gamble too much."
Just that simple sentence.
But the genuine seriousness in his tone made Huang Shengyi pause for several seconds.
She originally thought Lin Hao would say something polite like "You'll become a big star in the future," or make some harmless joke.
I never expected to hear this.
Don't gamble too much.
This sounds a bit strange, but inexplicably... it makes you feel like it's very serious.
"I've got it." She nodded and didn't ask any further questions.
Just then, the dishes were served.
A bowl of sour soup noodles, a plate of stir-fried pork, and two side dishes.
The portions were generous, the taste was authentic, and the price was so cheap that Lin Hao wondered if the proprietress was doing charity work.
It really is a hole-in-the-wall restaurant.
The environment is poor, but the food is delicious.
Over a steaming hot meal, the two of them digested all the hard work of the previous ten days of practice, the nervousness of going on stage today, and the comical moments of being surrounded and chased by their mentors.
After finishing their meal, before parting ways, Huang Shengyi smiled and said, "Junior, I wish you good luck in your audition."
Lin Hao nodded: "Okay."
