Chapter 57

Mingcheng Haoyuan!

Tang Feng stood in front of his own house, raised his hand to knock on the door, but after several attempts, he did not actually knock.

Just at that moment, the door suddenly opened.

Both parties were taken aback upon seeing each other. Dong Bingbing was now in disguise, wearing a large pair of sunglasses that covered half her face, clearly preparing to go out.

"Ahem, Miss Dong?" Tang Feng coughed and said.

"I'm not your Miss Dong! Don't call me so nicely, what's the matter?" Dong Bingbing, seeing Tang Feng's awkward expression, couldn't help but feel amused and decided to tease him. She took off her sunglasses, revealing her beautiful and charming face, but deliberately put on a stern look, which was naturally easy for her as an actress.

"About that... I'm sorry for what happened last time!" Tang Feng said with a forced smile.

Dong Bingbing looked at Tang Feng with a scrutinizing expression but said nothing, making Tang Feng even more awkward. He didn't know why, but he always felt a bit nervous in front of her, even though he couldn't figure out why.

Seeing Tang Feng's uneasy expression, Dong Bingbing suddenly couldn't help but laugh.

The sudden change in her expression left Tang Feng stunned. She was truly a great actress; the transition was too smooth.

"Hehe, come in and talk!" Dong Bingbing said with a playful laugh, not wanting to tease Tang Feng anymore. For some reason, seeing his uneasy expression made her want to tease him. After saying that, she walked straight in.

After a few steps, not hearing Tang Feng follow, Dong Bingbing turned back and gave him a flirtatious look, which made Tang Feng's heart skip a beat. She said teasingly, "What? Last time you dared to barge into my house, but now you're being so reserved?"

Tang Feng's face turned red with embarrassment. He was still confused about how he ended up in Dong Bingbing's house after getting drunk last time.

However, hearing Dong Bingbing's words, Tang Feng didn't hesitate anymore and walked in, closing the door behind him. He felt a bit strange, thinking how poor her sense of security was. Wasn't she afraid of him...?

While lost in thought, he heard Dong Bingbing say, "You were lucky last time. If I hadn't recognized you, you would have been finished. I've learned advanced self-defense techniques."

"Uh!" Tang Feng felt a cold sweat.

"Alright, speak! What do you want?" Dong Bingbing asked, knowing the answer but pretending not to.

"About that... thank you for what happened last time!" Tang Feng said.

"You're welcome. You're my junior, so it's my duty to protect you!" Dong Bingbing said in a big sisterly manner.

"Also, about that night, I'm really sorry. I was drunk and I don't know how it happened..." Tang Feng said awkwardly.

"Is there anything else?" Dong Bingbing asked teasingly.

"Anything else? Oh, about that... the short film I mentioned might not be suitable for you..." Tang Feng said tactfully, even though he knew Dong Bingbing was just teasing him.

"Oh? Why isn't it suitable for me? Do you think my acting isn't good enough?" Dong Bingbing's tone suddenly changed.

"Ah? Of course not! That's not what I meant." Tang Feng was taken aback by Dong Bingbing's words but quickly answered when he saw her frown.

"If it's not that, then what's the problem?" Dong Bingbing said coldly.

"..." Tang Feng was completely confused. What was this queen-like, cold and beautiful Miss Dong up to? Could she really be interested in his short film? What a joke, that's impossible!

"Hmph!" Seeing Tang Feng's silence, Dong Bingbing deliberately let out a cold snort, which snapped him out of his daze.

"It's... our budget is not enough!" Tang Feng said, inwardly praising himself for his quick thinking. Now she can't tease me anymore!

"Budget not enough?" Dong Bingbing glanced at Tang Feng with a sideways glance, a charming smile forming on her lips. She thought to herself, little guy, do you think that's enough?

"Yes, the budget is not enough!" Tang Feng was almost sweating. This woman was not just an actress; she was a demon, making it impossible to tell if she was acting or being genuine.

"This isn't a problem... I can work for profit sharing instead of a salary!" Dong Bingbing said with a proud smile, looking at Tang Feng.

"Ah?" Tang Feng was completely at a loss.

"What? Is there a problem?" Dong Bingbing said coldly.

"But... but this web series doesn't have a female lead!" Tang Feng quickly said, thinking, what a joke, if Dong Bingbing really joins, it would be a disaster!

"I don't mind the role! If there's no female lead, there must be some female role, right?" Dong Bingbing said quickly, thinking, little guy, you're not ready to compete with me yet.

Tang Feng was now in a difficult position. He was secretly complaining, "Hey, you're an actress, can you act like one? Is it right to make things so hard for a newcomer?"

Having lived two lives, Tang Feng had never felt so frustrated. Dong Bingbing's presence was too overwhelming, making her a versatile queen.

If Dong Bingbing was really interested in his short film, it would be one thing, but anyone could see that this queen was just teasing him. Even though she was beautiful and had helped him a lot, she shouldn't bully him like this.

Tang Feng, now at his wit's end, decided to fight back. He had been pushed around by Dong Bingbing's overwhelming presence and her relentless pressure, but now he had nowhere to retreat and became more defiant.

So what if she's an actress? What's so great about that? I'm a reborn, a穿越者 (穿越者 means someone who has traveled through time or dimensions, but there's no direct English equivalent, so I'll use "time traveler" here)!

You want to act, fine! But even as an actress, you don't have any special privileges with me. I have nothing to lose, and Tang Feng no longer had so many concerns.

"I still think you're not suitable for my film!" Tang Feng said, as if making a final stand. Dong Bingbing felt something was off but couldn't quite put her finger on it, and a bad feeling started to rise in her heart.

Before she could speak, Tang Feng continued, "You might think I'm ungrateful, but I have a way to prove that you're not suitable for my short film."

Dong Bingbing felt very indignant and blurted out, "Hmph! How will you prove it?"

As soon as she said it, she realized she had given Tang Feng the upper hand.

Tang Feng suddenly showed a strange smile and looked straight at Dong Bingbing, making her bad feeling grow stronger.

"I have a song. If you can sing it, I'll admit I was wrong. But if you can't..." Tang Feng paused, looking at Dong Bingbing.

Dong Bingbing already realized this was a trap. Thinking of the two bizarre songs Tang Feng had sung before, especially the dialect version of "Wrong, Wrong, Wrong," she would rather die than sing such a song.

But seeing Tang Feng's smug smile, her competitive spirit was ignited. Dong Bingbing had reached her current level in just a few years, and she was not an ordinary person.

"Fine, I'll sing it, but I'm not a professional singer, so I can't sing at a professional level. You can't use that as an excuse to brush me off." Dong Bingbing said.

"Don't worry, this song is not like the dialect version of 'Wrong, Wrong, Wrong' or 'The Cabbage Song.' It's very simple to sing." Tang Feng smiled like a cunning fox, making Dong Bingbing feel her teeth grind in frustration. But since she had dug this hole and jumped into it, she couldn't blame Tang Feng.

However, she was now curious about the song Tang Feng mentioned. What kind of song could make him so confident that she couldn't sing it?
