Chapter 293: Chapter 293: Accidentally Got Her Deeply Involved

She had run quite a distance before Tang Li finally stopped.

Standing outside the protective net of the shooting range, her breath was unsteady. Looking back, behind her was empty, with only two rows of lush, dripping banyan trees visible.

Under the midday sun, she felt her cheeks blushing.

In her mind were still those deep eyes of Song Baiyan, which were profound and yet carried a gentleness that seemed to have weathered many storms, inadvertently making her fall deep into them.

Returning to the training ground, Tang Li was somewhat distracted while practicing shooting.

The actors’ lunch was sorted at the shooting range.

There weren’t many soldiers guarding the range, adding the cooks there were only about seven or eight people. The group entered the cafeteria of the shooting range, and at a glance, she could see everything inside clearly.

Walking behind, Tang Li entered and saw two figures in camouflage sitting in a corner.

It was Song Baiyan and his comrade.

“Xiao Tang, come sit by me,” Deng Xian called her.

Apart from Tang Li and Qi Liang, there were six other actors who had come over from the crew.

Tang Li sat in the empty seat next to Deng Xian and looked up just in time to see in the corner of the cafeteria; Song Baiyan was pouring a bottle of white wine into the glass of his comrade across the table.

Unlike most politicians, Song Baiyan had a military background, a classic case of “abandoning the military for literature.”

In her previous life, after Song Baiyan was elected President, she read related reports in the newspapers. Analysts reflected that Song Baiyan’s election broke the traditional model of S country by electing Presidents, where serving Cabinet officials participated in the election, and a major reason could be the support he had from the military.

“This morning’s Weibo post has garnered over ten thousand comments,” Deng Xian’s voice rang beside Tang Li’s ear, “Xiao Tang, it looks like both of us are going to trend.”

Zhang Qifeng smilingly “reminded” Tang Li, “You have to be careful; the actresses who worked with him in the past almost always got criticized, and now he’s posted you on his own Weibo, soon his female fans will start searching for you online.”

Unlike Deng Xian’s fresh-faced celebrity image, Zhang Qifeng was known within the circle as a “tough guy” and was about the age of an uncle to Tang Li.

Deng Xian and Zhang Qifeng had collaborated previously.

“Don’t listen to the nonsense from my senior.”

As Deng Xian spoke, he put his left hand on Tang Li’s shoulder, in a brotherly fashion: “Let’s take some photos and post one each day on Weibo. When the time is right, we’ll create a male-male CP, and exclude my senior; the person in charge of my fan support told me that the current trend especially among the two-dimensional crowd is yaoi.”

“…” Tang Li.

Maybe their table was too loud, Song Baiyan glanced over from his spot.

Tang Li picked up her glass to drink some water.

After finishing their meal, the crew members stood up to leave.

She looked towards the corner again, Song Baiyan and others were still there, apparently chatting while eating.

Stepping out of the cafeteria, Tang Li stopped at the door and said to the others, “I ate a bit too much just now; I’ll take a walk nearby to help digest.”

Compared to her, the male actors had much more intense special training.

By next week at the latest, the crew needed to head to the Mihesha River, and they didn’t have much time left.

When only she was left at the cafeteria door, Tang Li sat down on the nearby steps. About half an hour later, the person she was waiting for finally came out.

Song Baiyan, catching a glimpse of the slender figure sitting outside the cafeteria, paused in his conversation and did not continue walking out with his comrade.

“What’s up?” asked Cao Liang.

He turned his head puzzledly and also saw Tang Li.

Song Baiyan had already spoken, “You go ahead, I’ll come later.”
