Chapter 537 Tang Youyou Arouses Public Outrage
Lin Bufan stumbled a few steps as Hu Yifei dragged him along. He spread his hands innocently and said, "Isn't it obvious? Chef Lin likes Yumo, and I like Wanyu. We don't interfere with each other. If it were Lin Bufan himself, how could he possibly pursue two girls at the same time?"
"Don't try that!" Hu Yifei said angrily, hands on hips, "You're clearly trying to take advantage of a loophole!"
"Then how do you say we're going to prove it?" Lin Bufan shrugged helplessly. Then, as if thinking of something, he suddenly smiled mischievously, "Yifei, how about letting Lin Wu come out and talk to you? Although he's a bit shy and hasn't directly expressed his love for you, as a neighbor for so many years, I can tell at a glance that he has a good impression of you. What do you think? Do you want to develop a relationship with him? I can help you two connect!"
When Hu Yifei heard Lin Bufan's words, she took two steps back as if she had been electrocuted, and pointed at Lin Bufan, shaking: "Who, who wants to develop a relationship with your Lin Wu? If you keep talking nonsense, be careful of me..." Hu Yifei raised her fist, but stuttered unusually: "Be careful of me... I..."
"What?" Lin Bufan took a step forward with a wicked smile.
Hu Yifei subconsciously stepped back, but accidentally tripped over the curb and fell backwards. Lin Bufan was quick to grab Hu Yifei, but he used too much force and Hu Yifei fell directly into his arms.
"Let go!" Hu Yifei jumped away as if burned, the tips of her ears red. "I'm warning you, Lin Bufan, don't think you can do whatever you want with this excuse of split personality!"
Wan Yu blinked her big eyes and suddenly realized, "Yi Fei, are you shy?"
"I'm shy?!" Hu Yifei's voice suddenly rose an octave: "Are you kidding me? How could I, Hu Yifei, be shy?" Then, Hu Yifei grabbed Wan Yu and said, "Let's go, let's go. What are you doing on the street with a psychopath in the middle of the night?"
Watching Hu Yifei's fleeing figure, Lin Bufan touched his chin and said thoughtfully, "Such a big reaction? Could it be that she's really interested in me, ah no, Lin Wu?"
When the three of them returned to the Love Apartment, it was already late at night. Only a warm yellow wall lamp was on in the living room of 3603. Qin Yumo was curled up on the sofa watching TV. He turned around immediately when he heard the door open.
"Are you back?" Qin Yumo's eyes were sparkling, like a kitten waiting for its owner to come home.
"Yeah." Lin Bufan walked over and ruffled Qin Yumo's hair: "Why aren't you asleep yet?"
Qin Yumo wrinkled her nose and said, "Waiting for you." Then, she glanced at Wanyu who was following behind her and said, "Wanyu, you're back too?"
Wanyu said good night tactfully, then ran back to the room, leaving the space for the two of them.
Lin Bufan sat down next to Qin Yumo. Thinking that Hu Yifei and Wanyu both knew that his parents had arrived, it would be inappropriate not to tell Qin Yumo. In order to prevent any accidents from happening in the future, Lin Bufan casually said, "By the way, Yumo, my parents are in Shanghai."
"Oh." Qin Yumo replied casually, and after 2.5 seconds her eyes suddenly widened and she exclaimed, "What?! Your parents are coming to Shanghai?" She sat up straight abruptly, and the bag of snacks on her knees fell to the ground with a clatter.
Lin Bufan was amused by Qin Yumo's intense reaction: "Why are you so excited?"
Qin Yumo immediately frantically straightened the collar of his pajamas and touched his messy hair: "Then... then should I meet them?" After asking, he immediately shook his head: "No, no, it's too sudden, I'm not ready..."
Lin Bufan reached out and pulled Qin Yumo into his arms, chuckling, "Why are you so nervous? If you want to see me, then you can. If you don't want to see me, then you don't have to."
"But..." Qin Yumo bit her lower lip, her fingers unconsciously twisting the corner of Lin Bufan's clothes: "What if they don't like me?"
"How could I not like it?" Lin Bufan pinched Qin Yumo's cheek: "My parents are very easygoing."
Qin Yumo twisted her fingers in confusion: "Then... then what should I wear? Should I bring a gift? What do they like? I..."
Lin Bufan quickly interrupted Qin Yumo's mumbling: "We'll meet tomorrow night. You still have one day tomorrow to prepare. Is that enough?"
Qin Yumo suddenly jumped up from the sofa: "Oh my God! There is only so much time left! I have to get ready quickly!" After saying that, he ran to the bedroom.
Lin Bufan grabbed Qin Yumo and said helplessly, "What's the rush? What time is it now? Even if we need to prepare, we have to prepare it tomorrow!"
……
Early the next morning, when Lin Bufan opened his eyes, he saw Qin Yumo sitting in front of the dressing table putting on makeup.
Lin Bufan rubbed his eyes and glanced at his phone: "Yumo, it's only half past six, why are you up so early?"
Qin Yumo didn't even turn her head and was carefully brushing her eyelashes in front of the mirror: "I have to practice putting on makeup in advance! What if my hands shake and the makeup goes wrong tonight?" As she said that, she picked up the foundation and applied it to her face.
Lin Bufan turned over helplessly: "You are a senior beauty consultant, do you still need to practice makeup? Besides, we will meet in the evening, isn't it too early for you to put on makeup now?"
"What do you know!" Qin Yumo turned around, her face already covered in a thick layer of foundation, looking like a Japanese geisha: "I have to try a few makeup looks first to see which one best shows my temperament!"
Lin Bufan was so frightened by this scene that he lost all sleepiness. He simply got up and washed up. When he finished and went to the living room, he found that breakfast was already set on the dining table - fried eggs, bacon, toast, and a cup of steaming milk.
"Huh? The sun rose from the west today?" Lin Bufan poked the fried egg with a fork in surprise: "Yifei didn't make any dark cuisine?"
"I did it!" Tang Youyou poked her head out of the kitchen with a flattering smile on her face: "Good morning, Director Lin!"
Lin Bufan put down his fork cautiously: "Youyou, you didn't poison my breakfast, did you?"
"How could that be!" Tang Youyou walked out with his hands behind his back, and said with a look of grievance: "I just wanted to give you a surprise!"
"You're being nice for no reason..." Lin Bufan narrowed his eyes. "Tell me, what's the matter?"
Tang Youyou immediately pulled out a stack of bound A4 papers from behind her: "I have already compiled the first draft of the script for 'The Final Battle at the Forbidden City'!"
After knowing this, Lin Bufan immediately felt relieved, and then he ate the breakfast prepared by Tang Youyou while reading the script.
On the cover, there was a bold black font with the words "Battle at the Forbidden City: Love Apartment Special" printed on it, and a line of small words underneath: Tang Youyou (starring and screenwriter).
Lin Bufan shook his head helplessly and continued reading. The script began with a grand background introduction:
In the year 2023, time and space are thrown into disarray. Heroes from different dimensions are summoned to the Forbidden City by a mysterious force. Among them are the war god Lü Bu (Lü Ziqiao) from the Three Kingdoms period, the mechanical warrior Lu Zhanbo (Lu Zhanbo) from the future, the ninja Guan Gu Shenqi (Guan Gu Shenqi) from Japan, and the queen Hu Yifei (Hu Yifei) from the modern era…”
Lin Bufan almost spit out a mouthful of milk: "What the hell is going on?"
"Don't worry, there's more excitement later!" Tang Youyou excitedly helped Lin Bufan turn to the next page: "Look, the role I arranged for myself is a princess from the Tang Dynasty. Because she was harmed by a traitor, she was exiled to the common people. Later, she met her destined lover at the top of the Forbidden City..."
Lin Bufan quickly scanned the script, realizing that every character had been cleverly arranged into the plot by Tang Youyou: Hu Yifei later became the leader of the martial arts world, with Zeng Xiaoxian as her personal bodyguard; Zhang Wei inexplicably became the abbot of Shaolin Temple; even Qin Yumo was written as a reclusive fairy...
The most outrageous thing is that Tang Youyou arranged a large number of roles for herself. She appeared in almost every scene, either saving people or being saved, and she became the core character of the whole play.
"Youyou..." Lin Bufan closed the script and said carefully, "This script... is quite creative."
Tang Youyou's eyes lit up: "Really? Then when will the filming start?"
Lin Bufan stretched out his hand and pressed it down, signaling Tang Youyou not to worry: "But... you have a huge flaw here!"
Lin Bufan slammed the table, his eyes firm, and said in a determined tone: "That means there will absolutely be no time and space confusion in 2023!"
Tang Youyou blinked her big eyes, looking confused: "Why is it impossible for time and space confusion to occur in 2023?"
Lin Bufan rants in his mind: Nonsense! I traveled here from 2025. If there really was a time-space disorder in 2023, how could I not know?
However, on the surface, Lin Bufan pretended to be profound and pushed his non-existent glasses: "Well... according to Einstein's theory of relativity, combined with the string theory model of quantum mechanics, plus my latest research on the eleven-dimensional space folding hypothesis..."
Tang Youyou was completely confused, her eyes almost turning into mosquito coils: "Ah? What theory? What string?"
Lin Bufan was about to continue making up stories when he heard a loud bang and the door to Room 3603 was flung open. Hu Yifei rushed in, waving a piece of paper in her hand. "Lin Bufan! Explain to me what's going on!"
Lin Bufan took the paper and took a look. It was a character setting sheet written by Tang Youyou. It clearly stated: Hu Yifei - leader of the martial arts world, with a hot temper and a bad temper, secretly in love with the guard Zeng Xiaoxian.
Lin Bufan didn't want to take the blame for Tang Youyou, so he betrayed her immediately!
At this time, Tang Youyou had already hidden behind the sofa, with only half of her head exposed: "Yifei, listen to my explanation, this is a requirement for artistic creation..."
"I don't need your head!" Hu Yifei stepped across to Tang Youyou and yelled across the sofa, "Who has a crush on that bitch Zeng? Also, how am I irritable?"
Tang Youyou muttered softly, "You're so irritable right now!"
"Tang You You! I didn't hear you clearly. Please say it again!"
Looking at the apple that was crushed by Hu Yifei, Tang Youyou swallowed unconsciously, and then immediately tried to save herself: "Sister Yifei, in the end you sacrificed yourself to save Zeng Xiaoxian, it was very touching..."
"I'll sacrifice you, damn it!" Hu Yifei was so angry that her hair stood on end. "Change the script immediately! Otherwise, I'll let you know what true sacrifice means!"
Before Hu Yifei had finished solving the problem, the other members of Love Apartment rushed into 3603, each holding a draft of the script in their hands, with dissatisfaction written all over their faces.
Guan Gu Shenqi was the first to rush over, holding the script. "Youyou-san! Why do I have to play a stuttering Japanese ninja? We Japanese don't talk like that!"
Zhang Wei followed closely behind, pointing at the words "Shaolin Temple Abbot" on the script: "How can I, a lawyer, become a monk? This career gap is too big!"
Zeng Xiaoxian was so angry that he jumped up and down: "I'm a radio host, and I'm actually described as Hu Yifei's lackey? And I even have a crush on her? This is simply an insult to my character!"
Lu Ziqiao didn't rush to protest, but instead stroked his chin thoughtfully. "Aunt, it's nice that you arranged so many love scenes for me, but why did every female character dump me in the end? This doesn't fit my character, Lu Xiaobu!"
Tang Youyou was surrounded by the crowd, beads of sweat appearing on her forehead. She backed away with a dry laugh: "Well... art comes from life and is higher than life..."
"I'm taller than you!" Hu Yifei grabbed Tang Youyou by the back of her neck and said, "Change it right now, or I'll let you taste my elusive power!"
Seeing that it was obviously not possible to hand over the script to everyone, Lin Bufan quickly stepped forward to smooth things over. After he comforted everyone and promised to hand over the script to the company's professional screenwriter team for revision and improvement, the farce came to an end.
After everyone left, Lin Bufan did not send the script directly to Qu Xiaoxiao, but instead created a secondary version based on Tang Youyou.
First of all, Lu Ziqiao's Lu Bu, Guan Gu's ninja, Hu Yifei's Dongfang Bubai, Zhan Bo's famous eunuch Wei Zhongxian, and Tang Youyou, the stickman on horseback, cannot be changed.
What Lin Bufan has to do is to write out the settings of the original script, and then assign roles to those who do not have roles. As for how to connect these characters together and how to integrate them into the script, that is what professional screenwriters have to do!
Zeng Xiaoxian wanted to play the role of the Five Tiger Generals. Lin Bufan thought this was a good suggestion, so he arranged for him to travel through time and space when a time storm occurred. The souls of the Five Tiger Generals merged into one and became one person, collectively known as the Five Tiger Generals!
Zhang Wei wanted to play the role of a man standing on the ceiling, fighting ten people at once. Lin Bufan decided to satisfy his wish and let him play the role of a lobster monster from outer space as the ultimate BOSS!
Chen Meijia wanted to play the most beautiful woman in the whole play, which was indeed a bit difficult. Therefore, Lin Bufan decided to throw this difficult problem to the screenwriter in the company!
Wanyu wanted to play a female knight, which was much simpler, so Lin Bufan decided to arrange for her to play Huang Rong!
After arranging the other people, Lin Bufan's life became much easier, because he had already decided that he would play the future lord of the Forbidden City. As for Qin Yumo, who would play his lover, she would naturally be the lord's wife!
After sending the revised script to Qu Xiaoxiao, Lin Bufan sent a message to his parents. After all, he was going to take Qin Yumo to meet her in the evening, so he still needed to communicate in advance!
