Chinese entertainment: What's wrong with actresses wanting to improve?

Chapter 411 Drunk

"Are you tired from the training lately?"

"fine."

Li Yitong picked up her teacup and took a sip.

"I have a foundation in physical training and performance classes, so it's not too difficult for me."

"It just means I need to spend more time on dialogue lessons, and my breath control isn't stable enough yet."

"You're from the Beijing Dance Academy, so your physical foundation is there, which gives you an advantage in action scenes."

Fu Yibai also picked up his teacup.

"You can't rush lines like this. You have to practice and refine them, and you'll gradually become more proficient."

"Um."

"I heard you're joining the crew next week."

"Yes, so I've been asking the teacher for advice these past few days."

"Great, you have good potential. Ask your teachers for advice and improve your acting skills. You'll definitely become famous in the future."

.........

After chatting for a while, Li Yitong gradually relaxed.

When talking about fun things at school, a sweet smile would appear on the girl's face.

The waiter came in with a tray and arranged the dishes one by one.

Fu Yibai picked up the serving chopsticks and placed a piece of fish on the small plate in front of her.

Eat more.

"After eating so many boxed lunches since joining the crew, I'll start to miss these."

Li Yitong said thank you and picked up the fish and ate it in small bites.

"Where are you from?"

"From Jinan, Shandong."

"Jinan, I visited it once a long time ago. It's a really nice place, with beautiful mountains and rivers."

"The environment shapes a person; no wonder you're so beautiful."

As Fu Yibai spoke, he picked up another piece of poached chicken for her.

Li Yitong's cheeks flushed slightly as she lowered her head and spoke softly.

"Mr. Fu, you flatter me."

The atmosphere at the table gradually became harmonious.

Fu Yibai talked about the interesting things that happened when he started his business in his early years. Li Yitong listened intently and occasionally shared some of the hardships and joys of practicing at the dance academy.

Zhang Xinyu sat quietly to the side, not saying much.

Halfway through the meal, Fu Yi added two bottles of red wine.

"Is it safe to drink?"

"I can drink a little."

I drank with my roommate when I was in school.

She picked up her glass and took a sip.

Dishes were served one after another, and wine was drunk one cup after another.

After two drinks, Li Yitong's face was noticeably flushed, but she didn't stop.

Fu Yibai poured her a third cup.

"You'll be joining the production team next week; this should be your first film, right?"

"Yes, that's right."

That was his debut work.

Prepare well and follow the director's instructions on set.

If you encounter any difficulties, contact the company immediately and do not try to handle them yourself.

If you perform well this time, you'll be able to take on a leading role in the next film.

Fu Yibai gently swirled his wine glass, looking at her with tender eyes.

"The company sees great potential in you."

Li Yitong felt a surge of warmth and also became more serious.

"Thank you, Mr. Fu. I will do my best."

The aftereffects of the red wine gradually took hold, and she felt her cheeks burning.

Fu Yibai also noticed that Li Yitong's condition was not quite right.

"You've eaten enough, let me take you home."

"Thank you, Mr. Fu. I can take a taxi home by myself."

"Why take a taxi? If something happens to you on the road like this, I'll be in big trouble."

Zhang Xinyu got up to pay the bill.

Fu Yibai took his things, walked to Li Yitong's side, and extended his hand.

Li Yitong blushed as she looked at Fu Yibai, hesitated for a moment, and then placed her hand in his palm.

Fu Yibai pulled her up from the chair, and she swayed, bumping into his shoulder.

"Can you still walk?"

"able."

Li Yitong took a couple of steps, her steps a little unsteady.

"Your alcohol tolerance is a bit low."

Try to drink less when you're out in the future.

"Hmm~"

Li Yitong mumbled an "Mmm" in a daze.

Fu Yibai put his arm around her shoulder and led her out of the private room.

The air conditioning in the corridor hit her burning face, and she shrank her neck and moved closer to Fu Yibai.

"Ugh~"

The wind made the effects of the alcohol even worse.

Fu Yibai helped Li Yitong into the car.

"Xinyu, let's go back to the villa."

Given Li Yitong's condition, he couldn't bring himself to just leave her back in her dorm room.

"Yes."

Zhang Xinyu didn't ask any more questions, started the car, and drove into the night.

Li Yitong collapsed into Fu Yibai's arms, feeling dizzy and disoriented. The swaying of the car made her discomfort even more intense.

"Ugh~"

"Xinyu, are there any bags in the car?"

"some."

Zhang Xinyu reached into the glove compartment and took a bag out.

"Mr. Fu."

"Okay, drive slowly."

The car slowly drove into the villa area and stopped in front of Fu Yibai's three-story detached house.

Zhang Xinyu pulled the handbrake and glanced at the back seat in the rearview mirror.

Li Yitong slumped onto Fu Yibai's lap, her face flushed, her breath carrying the scent of red wine.

I threw up in the car earlier, and I'm quiet now, but I feel as limp as a lump of mud.

"Mr. Fu, we've arrived."

Fu Yibai looked down at the person in his arms and reached out to tuck the stray hairs damp with sweat behind her ear.

Li Yitong gave a muffled hum, her brows furrowed, probably because her stomach was still a little upset.

He opened the car door and picked Li Yitong up in his arms.

She looked thin, but her body, honed by years of dance training, was solid, and she had just the right weight when you held her in your arms.

Her head rested on his shoulder, her warm breath brushing against his neck.

Zhang Xinyu quickly walked to the front to open the door.

The motion-sensor light in the entryway turned on, and Fu Yibai changed into slippers, carrying Li Yitong directly upstairs.
