Why? That's a good question.
Ling Yi could fool Leung Foon and deceive Wan Tin-sau, but he didn't want to lie to Lau Piu-piu.
Of course, it's impossible to tell the truth now.
Although the system did not dictate Ling Yi's behavior in the movie world, before the timeline was complete, Ling Yi had a feeling that if he told the truth, something bad would happen.
As for what it was, Ling Yi didn't know, but Ling Yi dared not try.
Therefore, even if you want to tell the truth, you should wait until the story's timeline has finished before speaking.
I don't want to lie to you, but I can't tell you now.
"Okay, the second question is, do you like me?"
You're being really direct with your question, aren't you? "Do you like it?" Isn't that obvious?
"You're so beautiful, don't you have any self-awareness?" Ling Yi rolled her eyes.
"But I want you to say it," Lau Piu-piu said earnestly.
Looking into those big, watery eyes and that delicate face so close to his, Ling Yi couldn't bring himself to say the word "like".
He knew what kind of "like" Lau Piu-piu was asking about, but Ling Yi's "like" wasn't the kind of "like" Lau Piu-piu was hoping for. To put it bluntly, he was just lusting after her body.
"Coward, is it so hard to say those two words? Learn from me, I like you!" Lau Piu-piu's hot breath blew onto Ling Yi's face.
This startled Ling Yi, and then he got carried away, grabbing Lau Piu-piu's face and giving her a kiss.
After realizing what she had done, Ling Yi blushed.
Ling Yi knew she was blushing, and inwardly cursed herself for being so embarrassing.
He's a time traveler, after all, and he's destined to travel to the Myth World, becoming Big Shot can fly Earth Escape.
Blushing over kissing a woman on the lips? Isn't that embarrassing?
"Pfft, you, hahaha, you've never been in a relationship before, have you?" Seeing Ling Yi's reaction, Lau Piu-piu couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Ling Yi looked at Lau Piu-piu, who was laughing so hard she was practically rolling on the floor, and was speechless for a moment.
"I'm hungry!" After laughing enough, Lau Piu-piu clutched her stomach and looked at Ling Yi with a pitiful expression.
"Ahem, let's go eat!"
"I don't want to eat out!" Lau Piu-piu said again.
"We haven't had time to hire a chef yet, and I don't know how to cook. Besides, we have nothing in the house right now; the kitchen is completely empty."
"I can do it! Let's go buy groceries!"
"Good!"
Although Ling Yi Ling Yi agreed, he still had some doubts about whether Lau Piu-piu could cook.
But none of that matters; what matters is Lau Piu-piu's attitude.
Ling Yi could clearly sense that Lau Piu-piu's attitude towards him had changed considerably at this moment.
Before, it was a mixture of wariness and gratitude; now, well? How should I put it, isn't this a bit like pleading?
Okay, so this is what it means to be cute!
Lau Piu-piu's cooking skills were actually quite good, which was somewhat unexpected for Ling Yi.
Four dishes and a soup, plus two bottles of red wine.
"Want some drinks?" Ling Yi asked.
Lau Piu-piu didn't say anything, but instead filled their wine glasses with red wine.
After picking up her glass, Lau Piu-piu said earnestly, " Ling Yi, thank you!"
As she spoke, tears streamed down her face, leaving Ling Yi momentarily at a loss for what to do or say.
Ling Yi took a deep breath and said, "Then, congratulations on your rebirth!"
"A new lease on life?" Lau Piu-piu murmured, then fiercely wiped away her tears.
"I'll do it, you can do whatever you want!"
Lau Piu-piu downed the glass of red wine in one gulp and refilled it.
"Hey, you're really casual about this! You're leaving so much, are you raising fish?" Lau Piu-piu shouted in dissatisfaction when she saw that Ling Yi had only taken a small sip.
"This stuff is fucking awful!" Ling Yi's eyebrows were practically knitted together.
Even though he had tried many expensive red wines during this period, he just couldn't get used to them and couldn't tell the difference between them.
He could only tell that some tasted good and some tasted bad, and that was all.
Today, Lau Piu-piu paid for the groceries and wine. The wine wasn't even a brand name, so naturally it wasn't very good.
It tasted sour and had a slightly bitter aftertaste.
"Haha, what's so great about alcohol? It's all about the atmosphere, the state of being drunk. Enough talk, let's get down to business."
Then drink it!
Ling Yi knew that Lau Piu-piu's mood had been fluctuating wildly today and she needed to vent.
At the rate Lau Piu-piu drank, the two bottles of red wine were gone in no time, but Lau Piu-piu was also drunk.
One and a half of those two bottles of red wine ended up in her stomach.
Although this stuff isn't very strong, it works really fast.
Lau Piu-piu alternated between crying and laughing, talking about her high school classmates and her parents.
Ling Yi merely listened, but he did learn more about Lau Piu-piu's past.
In the movie, Lau Piu-piu is just a character, but in the movie world, she is a living, breathing person.
Lau Piu-piu's mother was once a dancer. After falling in love with Lau Piu-piu's father, she wanted to live a peaceful life, but she didn't expect that her father was a gambling addict.
In a fit of anger, Lau Piu-piu's mother left with her newborn Lau Piu-piu.
Lau Piu-piu was raised by her mother.
It was precisely because Lau Piu-piu's mother was a dancer that she was often bullied at school. In high school, she was shown concern by that scumbag a few times and was foolishly deceived.
After finally getting rid of Lau Piu-piu, who had calmed down, Ling Yi returned to his own room.
Although Ling Yi wasn't Liu Xiahui, he didn't want to take advantage of someone in distress; frankly, he still had the mentality of a petty person.
The less important a person is, the more likely they are to adhere to certain bottom lines that seem ridiculous to those in power.
Back in his room, Ling Yi opened the system interface.
[ Movie Extra Roleplaying System ( Master Sing Exclusive Edition)]
[Host: Ling Yi ]
[ Combat: 6]
[Current World: King of Comedy (Story Progress 79%)]
[World Completed]
[1. King of Kings 2000 ] [Enter] [Exit]
[Exclusive Customization: Custom-designed Invisibility camera, custom-designed USB drive!]
Is the story timeline already 79% complete? Almost there!
Ling Yi suddenly realized a problem: what would he do if he ended up in a world like A Tall Tale of Journey to the West, which has a large time span?
They keep jumping through time by Wu Bai- Wu Bai; can they even live past Wu Bai themselves?
Although death in the movie world isn't real death.
But if you don't live past Wu Bai, you won't be able to complete the entire storyline's timeline. If you can't complete the entire storyline's timeline, then you'll have to start over indefinitely, right?
This is like being trapped and dying in a movie world, isn't it?
"Therefore, I still need to work hard to improve my strength, at least to extend my lifespan, and ideally, get an immortality buff!"
"But aside from the Myth World like A Tall Tale of Journey to the West, which of Master Sing's movies can grant an immortality buff?"
Okay, it seems there isn't one.
Since there isn't one, then all we can do is "work hard and strive!"
Ling Yi threw himself onto the bed and went to sleep!
It's the same film crew, the same theater... at the entrance.
As soon as Ling Yi and Lau Piu-piu got out of the car, they saw Wan Tin-sau running out while looking back.
Looks like we're too late; we missed the classic scene where Wan Tin-sau gets caught with a cockroach.
Because of his statement, "I can't move until the director yells 'cut'!", he won Sister Kuen's favor and was given another chance to play a minor role.
Unfortunately, he still messed things up. In the plot, Sister Kuen was kicked, beaten, and blown up. After a round of this, the entire crew was in chaos.
At this moment, Wan Tin-sau was in a terrible state. His clothes were tattered, and his face was covered in something black.
As he passed by Uncle Tat, he casually grabbed a boxed lunch.
Uncle Tat, who was Banana, glared at him and yelled, "You Uncle Tat, do you think you can just eat my lunchbox like that? Do you think I'm some nobody?!"
After a quick aim, he threw the Banana accurately at Wan Tin-sau's feet.
He threw Wan Tin-sau to the ground, spilling half of his lunchbox.
The Uncle Youyou over, grabbed the remaining boxed lunch, tossed it to a nearby dog, scoffed, and turned to leave.
As he walked, he muttered, "He has no skills whatsoever, yet he teaches people to act and works as a thug collecting protection money. He's utterly despicable, a piece of trash, a disgrace to the youth! Bah!"
Wan Tin-sau calmly got up from the ground, casually brushed the dirt off his clothes, and forced an explanation. " Uncle, I wasn't collecting protection money, it was an immersive acting training method!"
Just then, they saw Ling Yi and Lau Piu-piu walking over.
Looking at the two men's clothes and the sports car behind them, Wan Tin-sau's eyes were full of envy, but he quickly lowered his head and prepared to take a detour to make way for them.
He had long forgotten what Ling Yi looked like, and even more so, he had forgotten that Ling Yi had once been just a background character here.
After all, there are just too many extras coming and going here every day.
Moreover, Ling Yi's current demeanor is completely different from Long Tao's back then. Even if Ling Yi looks familiar, Wan Tin-sau did not think of him as an extra.
" Wan Tin-sau, do you want to act?" Ling Yi asked.
Wan Tin-sau was taken aback, and instinctively said, "Of course I want to, boss!"
"Then come with me!" Ling Yi said, turning and leaving.
"Is this the person you're looking for? He looks a bit silly, but he's kind of funny," Lau Piu-piu said with a smile.
"He is indeed a bit simple-minded and lacks social skills, and he's also a bit single-minded, but he has a certain drive that most ordinary people lack."
Lau Piu-piu glanced back and said, "I didn't realize that. I could tell he was dumbfounded. But it seems he didn't follow."
"He'll catch up!"
Sure enough, as soon as Ling Yi finished speaking, Wan Tin-sau caught up with him.
"Boss, are you sure you want me to act, or are you just messing with me?" Wan Tin-sau asked, rubbing his hands together.
"I'll give you a script, enough funding, and even help you build a professional team. Your only job is to film the script and perform your roles well!"
Ling Yi stopped and looked at Wan Tin-sau.
"Boss, I'm very busy. I still have to teach Fangfang acting and rehearse for the play!"
Only Wan Tin-sau would say something like that at this time.
Ling Yi stared at him and said, word by word, "You only get one chance!"
"If you succeed this time, I will have more scripts and more funding from now on. If you fail, you will likely be an extra for the rest of your life."
Half an hour later, Wan Tin-sau, clutching a file folder in his left hand and carrying a briefcase in his other hand, watched the departing sports car with an excited expression.
Wan Tin-sau jumped up and down like a child, then quickly ran towards home.
He had only read a little bit of the script, but even that little bit made Wan Tin-sau feel...
This script seems to have been specially crafted for him!
