Chen Xun felt that although he had been busy all day, he was not tired at all!
The thought that he could achieve this effect by upgrading his attributes to the highest level made Chen Xun's desire to level up reach its peak for the first time!
That evening, Chen Xun had just finished showering and was wondering whether to read some scripts or go straight to sleep when his phone vibrated.
It was a message from Kate.
"Hey Chen, are you asleep? Want to grab a drink?"
"By the way, let's talk about filming the next season of '2 Broke Girls.' I have some new ideas about the interactions between Max and Han, and I'd like to hear your opinions. I know a good little restaurant."
It was followed by a playful emoji!
Talking about work so late at night?
Is it a legitimate job?
Chen Xun raised an eyebrow.
How about discussing filming the next season?
There's no sign of a script for the next season yet, and usually these things are discussed with the producer or directly on set.
He could roughly guess what Kate was thinking.
Most likely, they just want a good meal!
It's all my fault for letting her taste the sweetness!
Chen Xun regretfully slapped his thigh.
I looked around the empty living room.
Christine went to New York for a magazine photoshoot these past two days.
After being busy with the preliminary work and public opinion storms surrounding Green Lantern for quite some time, I'm actually a bit bored tonight.
Taking a break doesn't seem like a bad idea!
Chen Xun sensed the [Rhythm] aura within his body, which was still running smoothly.
He was a little curious about how this thing would perform in real-world social situations outside of work.
Without hesitation, Chen Xun replied, "Send me the address!"
Who told Chen Xun to love research!
Kate quickly sent a location: a rather quiet neighborhood in Los Angeles.
It's not a popular celebrity hotspot; it's more like a hidden gem restaurant known only to locals.
Chen Xun changed into comfortable casual clothes and drove there.
He deliberately drove an inconspicuous car.
The place was indeed hard to find; the storefront was small, and the sign was almost completely hidden by greenery.
Pushing open the door, you'll find soft lighting and a retro industrial style decor. There aren't many people around, and relaxing jazz music is playing.
The air was filled with the aroma of food and alcohol.
It certainly doesn't seem like a place where paparazzi would be lying in wait.
As soon as Chen Xun stepped inside, he spotted Kate sitting in a corner booth!
She was wearing a simple black tank top and jeans, and didn't wear much makeup.
Her long, golden hair was loosely draped over her shoulders, making her look more relaxed and exuding a languid sexiness than she did in front of the camera.
Upon seeing Chen Xun, her eyes lit up, and she waved in greeting.
"I thought you weren't coming!"
Kate waited for him to sit down, then smiled and said, "Push the drinks menu over there."
"You said you had a brilliant idea about Max and Han, how could I miss it!"
Chen Xun took the order and casually replied.
Kate scoffed, "Come on!"
She didn't try to hide it anymore; the two understood each other without saying a word.
After ordering drinks and a few snacks, the atmosphere quickly relaxed.
At first, we were indeed talking about "2 Broke Girls," complaining about the scriptwriters, reminiscing about fun things that happened during filming, and talking about the recent situations of other actors. After a few drinks, the topic slowly started to drift.
"Green Lantern, how's it going? Everyone in Hollywood is talking about you!"
Kate swirled her wine glass, the ice clinking as she looked at Chen Xun with curiosity.
The two played minor supporting roles in "Thor" not long ago.
In the blink of an eye, the man in front of you has become a superhero.
"It doesn't feel good. Being under so much scrutiny means even the smallest things get blown out of proportion!"
Chen Xun spoke the truth.
"But you seem to be adapting quite well."
Kate's gaze lingered on his face: "It's different than before. I can't quite put my finger on it!"
"It might have been caused by being scolded by director Martin Scorsese!"
Chen Xun made a joke.
[Rhythm] The halo operates silently.
Chen Xun was able to clearly grasp the rhythm of the conversation.
When was Kate testing the waters? When was she expressing her feelings? When did her words carry a hint of bitterness or admiration?
He can respond precisely at the right moment, neither creating an awkward silence nor becoming overly enthusiastic.
When her speech became slightly hurried, she would slow down the pace with a well-timed pause or a gesture of raising her glass.
When Kate's eyes dart around as if she wants to delve deeper into a certain topic, she can also throw out a lighthearted question or change the subject at the right time.
The pulling sensation is quite peculiar!
Chen Xun was having a great time!
But Kate clearly doesn't think so!
Her eyes were practically watering from Chen Xun's pull, clearly she was already aroused!
"This place is pretty nice, how did you find it?"
Chen Xun looked around.
"A friend brought me here a few times!"
Kate put down her glass, leaned forward slightly, and rested her elbows on the table, a gesture that made the low-cut neckline more pronounced. "I really like places where nobody knows me and I don't have to put on an act for anyone!"
Kate's eyes seemed to be glued to Chen Xun, staring at him without moving.
Alcohol combined with dim lighting.
And Chen Xun's damn calm demeanor and precise flirting brought out all the things she had been suppressing for so long.
She leaned closer and closer as she spoke.
The neckline of the black camisole shifted slightly with the movement, revealing the full curves of her breasts.
Her slightly rapid breathing rose and fell gently, as if she were issuing a silent invitation on behalf of her master.
Chen Xun's gaze was inevitably drawn to it.
[Rhythm] The halo allowed him to clearly perceive the viscous concentration in the air at this moment, and Kate increased the rhythm of her breathing.
He is not a saint, much less a paragon of virtue.
This scene and atmosphere are irresistible to any normal man.
What's more, Chen Xun is a good student!
It's time to expand your vocabulary and learn a foreign language properly!
"It's a bit stuffy in here, let's go outside for some fresh air!"
She said something out of the blue, her eyes seeming to have little hooks.
She stood up without waiting for Chen Xun's reply.
Her steps were slightly unsteady due to the effects of the alcohol, but she walked towards the door with a clear goal, and her graceful figure quickly disappeared through the doorway.
Chen Xun paid the bill and followed them out.
The cool night air swept over me, slightly dissipating the indoor heat, but the fire within me became even more intense.
The parking lot was quiet, with only a few streetlights casting a dim yellow glow. Kate walked to a seemingly ordinary black SUV, unlocked it, and opened the door, but didn't get in immediately.
"I prepared a gift for you; it's in the car!"
Kate glanced into the car.
Chen Xun sat down without hesitation.
The car door slammed shut, cutting off the faint light and sound from outside.
With the seats folded down, the space is barely enough.
It's just a bit dark!
Chen Xun didn't sit idle either; he immediately turned on the flashlight he carried with him and shone it on the study materials!
[Rhythm] The halo is starting to kick in!
"Fuck!"
After a while, Kate sighed or complained, it was hard to tell.
She turned her head to look at Chen Xun in the dim light, her eyes filled with complex emotions: "Your timing is too good, I—"
She didn't finish speaking, but Chen Xun understood.
Chen Xun didn't say anything, but simply reached out and wiped her sweaty lips with his thumb.
Kate gripped his wrist, neither letting go nor taking it any further.
The two of them stayed quietly in the small, still-breathing space for a while.
Chen Xun straightened his disheveled clothes and sat up. "I should go!"
Kate slowly sat up, not trying to stop her, but simply humming in agreement.
There's an unspoken understanding between adults; some things don't need to be said too explicitly.
