Fringe artists in the entertainment industry

Chapter 45 45. One bed can be crowded... (please follow up)

In the speeding car, Chen Li'an looked at the receding scenery outside the window, his thoughts drifting away.

I haven't returned to the capital for more than two months, and I don't know if Bai Qing has moved out now or if he will wait for me to go back.

"What are you thinking about? Don't forget that the condition of your ride is to chat with me." Cheng Meiren glanced at Chen Li'an who was in a daze and said with some dissatisfaction.

Chen Li'an came back to his senses, adjusted the angle of the seat, and turned his eyes to Cheng Meiren who was driving.

Cheng Meiren's profile is also very beautiful, and the way she concentrates on driving is very charming.

Looking at Cheng Meiren's skillful driving skills, Chen Li'an asked curiously: "Did you drive here from the capital by yourself before?"

"Yes, taking the train is too troublesome. You have to wait for the train in the middle of the night, and there are too many people. I don't like it."

Cheng Meiren originally wanted to say that she was also a big star after all, but thinking of Chen Li'an's unforgiving character, she held back her words.

"Then why not take a plane? I remember Suzhou opened a flight to the capital." Chen Li'an was a little curious. Cheng Meiren should be quite rich. Isn't flying better than driving?

Chen Li'an wanted to come by plane at that time, but because he was short of money, he could only take the train.

Do you have no money to engage in art? Chen Li'an felt that he had to find a way to make some money, otherwise he would probably have to live on a soft diet in the future.

Cheng Meiren glanced at Chen Li'an and said, "Don't you know about the aviation accident a few months ago?"

Having said this, Chen Li'an remembered that in June, the largest aviation accident in China so far occurred.

More than 100 people were killed, including everyone on the plane, which caused most people in the country to worry about the safety of the plane.

Chen Li'an was silent for a while, took out a cigarette from his pocket and asked, "Can I smoke?"

"Okay." Cheng Meiren said, stretching out her fingers, waving her fair and slender fingers playfully and saying, "Order one for me too."

"Yeah." Chen Li'an took out a cigarette and lit it, then put it on Cheng Meiren's finger.

When his fingers touched Cheng Meiren's palm, he could clearly feel that her skin was smooth and her fingers were still a little cold.

Cheng Meiren held the cigarette between her hands, and she didn't care that it was Chen Li'an who had smoked it. She put it directly to her lips and took a puff.

The delicate little mouth gently exhaled smoke, and then said: "I didn't expect you to be quite sentimental."

"What?" Chen Li'an, who was in a daze, was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Cheng Meiren, confused.

Cheng Meiren glanced at the rearview mirror, then turned to look at Chen Li'an and said, "I said you are quite sentimental. There are so many accidents happening in the world every year."

Chen Li'an suddenly realized and laughed and said: "You are overthinking, but you just think that accidents will always happen inadvertently, so you must cherish your current life, maybe one day..."

"Stop!" Cheng Meiren immediately interrupted Chen Li'an, rolled her beautiful eyes and said, "We are driving, don't talk nonsense."

Chen Li'an pursed his lips and stopped talking, turning to look at the scenery outside the window.

The cigarettes in the hands of the two people floated with blue smoke, filling the small car, and then drifted out along the gap in the car window.

Maybe because she was bored, Cheng Meiren found a topic and asked, "What are you doing back in the capital?"

But there was something unhappy in his heart. It felt like Chen Li'an really didn't like him very much. Even when chatting, he took the initiative.

If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have taken him with me, Cheng Meiren muttered in her heart.

"I promised my friend to draw her a picture." Chen Li'an explained calmly.

Cheng Meiren asked in surprise: "Can you draw?"

"Hmm, isn't it weird?" Chen Li'an looked at the somewhat surprised Cheng Meiren and took a closer look. He suddenly felt that Cheng Meiren would be great as a model.

She has a delicate appearance, a gentle temperament, and most importantly, a very good figure. Although she is not plump, she has a classical style.

Chen Li'an ignored Cheng Meiren's surprise and threw the cigarette butt out of the car window. Then he turned to see that the cigarette held in Cheng Meiren's fingers was almost finished, so he reached out and took the cigarette butt from her hand and threw it out.

"What time can we arrive tonight?" Chen Li'an suddenly asked.

Cheng Meiren shook her head and said, "We can't arrive tonight. I'm very tired of driving alone. I definitely won't be able to do it for more than ten hours."

"What should we do?"

"Let's rest for one night and start again tomorrow morning."

"..."

Chen Li'an couldn't understand why Cheng Meiren had the guts to spend the night with a strange man whom she had only known for less than two days.

There were a lot of people in the guest house near the highway, mostly truck drivers, and it was very noisy and chaotic.

Seeing the poor environment and small space of the guest house in front of him, Chen Li'an turned to look at Cheng Meiren and said, "How about changing to another hotel."

The waiter sitting at the front desk eating melon seeds heard Chen Li'an's words and said rudely: "We are the only guest house nearby."

Chen Li'an looked at Cheng Meiren helplessly, and wanted to suggest that he should just drive back.

"Look what I'm doing. Who told you that you don't have a driver's license? There are so many people checking cars along the way. You can't let me drive for more than ten hours." Cheng Meiren directly sentenced Chen Li'an's idea to death.

"Okay." Chen Li'an frowned, turned around and looked at the front desk of the guest house and said, "Open two single rooms."

"No more, just one room." The receptionist put down the melon seeds in his hand, took out a key from the drawer and threw it on the table, without any sense of service.

This is what the big shop bullies say. If you can't find a way out, you can't find a shop, you can't live without it.

Chen Li'an could only pay the money, take the key and lead Cheng Meiren to clear the way.

The corridor of the guest house is very small, and there are a few tourists standing at the door of their rooms smoking and chatting.

In the dim light and smoke, this narrow passage looks particularly dangerous.

When Cheng Meiren passed by, the tourists who spoke the dialect of Tiannanhaibei looked at her without any politeness.

Such an environment and atmosphere made Cheng Meiren a little scared. She lowered her head and nervously held Chen Li'an's hand and followed him closely.

She was particularly glad that she took Chen Li'an back with her, otherwise she would never dare to stay in such a guest house.

Chen Li'an's tall figure was still intimidating, and when those people looked over, they glared back.

It's very dangerous to go out these days. It's hard for Chen Li'an to imagine how Cheng Meiren drove from the capital to Suzhou by herself before.

Soon they were walking down the hall to their rooms.

The single room in the guest house is really small, with only one bed and a broken electric fan, and the bedside table is missing a corner.

After entering the room and closing the door, Cheng Meiren immediately breathed a sigh of relief, patted her chest and said, "I'm scared to death. Those people look so scary."

Chen Li'an kicked the bed in the room. It seemed to be quite sturdy without shaking. Then he looked at Cheng Meiren and said, "It's nothing scary. They all come out to do business to make a living."

Cheng Meiren was still a little frightened, holding Chen Li'an's hand and not daring to let go.

"Why did you come here by yourself before? Didn't you rest on the way?" Chen Li'an looked at Cheng Meiren and asked.

Cheng Meiren pouted and explained, "I have a friend in LY. I rested at her place last time."

She also knew that it was not safe to go out alone, but who would have thought it could be so scary. The people in the corridor just now were like labor reform prisoners, making vicious noises.

Chen Li'an didn't ask why he didn't rest with his LY friend this time, but just warned: "If you go out alone in the future, it is best to take a train or a plane instead of driving by yourself."

"Yes, I understand." Cheng Meiren became a little more obedient now, losing her previous arrogance.

Chen Li'an glanced at the relatively clean bedding on the bed and said, "It's getting late. You should rest. Don't take off your clothes. The quilt is not clean."

After speaking, Chen Li'an took his hand out of Cheng Meiren's, looked at the thermos bottle on the wall and said, "Wait for me here, I'll get some hot water."

Chen Li'an's generous and strong palm gave Cheng Meiren a great sense of security, and she felt a little panicked after she suddenly pulled it away.

Chen Li'an picked up the water bottle and went out to fetch water. Cheng Meiren was the only one left in the room.

The small room, the noisy chatter and laughter outside the door, and the occasional swear words made Cheng Meiren feel uneasy, as if those people would rush in at the next moment.

Fortunately, Chen Li'an came back soon with a water bottle, and Cheng Meiren immediately stood up and took his hand.

Chen Li'an turned to look at Cheng Meiren and said, "It's just half a bottle of hot water. It's enough to wash your face and feet. You can rest after washing. Give me the car keys and I'll go and spend the night in the car."

"Don't!" When Cheng Meiren heard that Chen Li'an was going to the car, she immediately held his arms in fear.

Sensing the fear in Cheng Meiren's heart, Chen Li'an said helplessly: "It's not safe to leave the car outside, and there is only one bed here. Just close the door later and everything will be fine."

Cheng Meiren was stunned for a moment, then thought quickly and said: "We paid the parking fee, so don't worry about it. It's okay to squeeze into one bed..."

When she said the last part, Cheng Meiren's voice dropped, and the arms holding Chen Li'an subconsciously tightened, and a faint blush appeared on her fair face.

Chen Li'an felt the soft elasticity on his arms, and seemed to feel Cheng Meiren's frightened and nervous heartbeat.

Just squeeze in if you squeeze in, it’s okay if the conditions are difficult...
