Chapter 81 The lingering sea breeze (Subscribe please!!)
Chen An's hair has grown longer now. He has styled it up and combed it into a side-combed style.

With his bronze skin and handsome features, he looks quite mature.

He hung the windbreaker he was wearing on the sofa next to him, revealing the casual close-fitting suit underneath.

He picked up the hot drink brought by the waiter and drank it silently, waiting for Naomi to appear.

After asking the waiter if I could smoke, I lit one and waited boredly.

Naomi reappeared after finishing a cigarette.

But she had taken off her apron, tied her hair up again, and done up her face, although she was still wearing the same jeans and T-shirt.

But still looks beautiful.

Chen An, who was sitting in his seat, was a little stunned. If it weren't for my sisters making it so formal, I would have felt embarrassed.

I'm just tempted by beauty, and you make me feel ashamed.

Especially the other person kept adjusting his hair while sitting in his seat, looking awkward.

"In fact, makeup won't affect your beauty." Chen An said while sitting on the sofa in front of the dining table.

Naomi took a sip of coffee and replied happily: "Thank you for the compliment, Director, but I still have to prepare more formally."

"Then I just happened to bring you a gift, your contract, are you ready to sign it?" Chen An took out the contract in his arms and handed it to Naomi opposite him.

This is the contract Jerry gave to himself, and it is also Naomi's role contract.

The pay is not much, but it can at least ease her current financial pressure.

After all, he is one of the main characters.

Naomi took the contract with surprise and looked at it in her hand. When she saw the amount of the remuneration, she covered her mouth with excitement and looked at Chen An in disbelief.

Chen An nodded, indicating that she was not mistaken.

"I think I will definitely not give up this opportunity. Thank you director for your choice." Naomi put the contract on the table and excitedly grabbed Chen An's hand to thank him.

"Don't thank me, this is the result of your own hard work and hundreds of days of accumulation that have led to this success. I hope you work hard and don't let your persistence over the years go to waste."

"I will live up to my efforts." Naomi signed all three contracts and held her own contract tightly in her arms.

Chen An put away the remaining two, stood up and put on his windbreaker again.

Looking at Naomi who was sitting in front of him, he smiled and said, "Are you off work? Do you have time to walk around with me? I haven't been here long, so I'm not very familiar with it yet."

As he spoke, he extended an invitation to Naomi who was sitting at her seat.

Naomi took out her left hand and gently held Chen An's right hand, stood up, held the contract in her right hand, turned her head and looked at her colleague next to her.

The waiter who brought hot drinks to Chen An looked at Naomi and nodded slightly.

After getting the approval, Naomi turned around happily, curved her lips and smiled, "I think I have time to go shopping with you."

After getting the answer, Chen An withdrew his right hand, turned around and walked out of the restaurant with a smile. Naomi followed him out of the restaurant.

Not long after Chen An walked out of the door, he stopped a taxi, invited Naomi to get in the car, and then went to the apartment where Naomi rented.

The car stopped in front of an old apartment building, which looked a bit shabby, and so did the surrounding houses. This was also a place Chen An had never set foot on before.

After giving the driver a tip and asking him to wait here for a while, Chen An stood downstairs of the apartment building waiting.

After getting off the car, Naomi rushed upstairs. Chen An did not follow her, but waited downstairs.

After Chen An chatted with the driver for a while and smoked two cigarettes together, Naomi slowly walked downstairs and came out.

Her golden hair had been styled and fell behind her. She had bangs in a 3:7 ratio on her forehead, and had light makeup on her face. She had changed into a beige pleated skirt, and a beige windbreaker of a different color from Chen An's. She also wore a white scarf, white long stockings, and a pair of black leather shoes.

She has a graceful figure and is extremely beautiful.

She walked up to Chen An with a small bag in her hand and said with her red lips, "Let's go, Director."

"My name is Chen An, you can just call me Chen." Chen An lowered his head and looked into the other person's eyes and said softly. He helped the other person open the back door of the taxi, let the other person sit in first, and then got into the car.

After Naomi talked to the driver, the car slowly drove away from the dilapidated urban area.

Led by the other party, the car finally drove to an endless beach.

Chen An, who had just got off the car, felt the winter sea breeze and learned the name of this beautiful beach from the other party.

It is located in Los Angeles, but it is called Venice Beach. It is worthy of the fact that the beautiful country is really good at naming.

In December, there were many pedestrians and tourists here, with all kinds of skin colors.

In the middle of the beach, many couples gathered together, asking the painter to paint their portraits.

There were also many people setting up stalls and playing music in different places on the beach, but they were quite far apart and did not affect each other.

In front of the two men was a bearded man who looked like an Italian. He was playing a violin on his shoulder and the music was moving.

The slow and leisurely pace is perfect for the winter beach.

"Let's take a walk. This is my favorite place." Naomi said quietly as she stood beside Chen An.

She stood quietly, holding her bag in both hands, but because the annoying sea breeze blew her well-groomed hair from time to time, she could only use her right hand to carefully tidy it up and put her hair behind her ears.

Chen An took the initiative to extend his arm, and Naomi held his right hand, and the two walked towards the beach together.

As a well-known tourist attraction, a path was built on the coastline above the beach, and the two walked on it together, just like the couples around them.

The coastline was so long that there seemed no end in sight. The two of them chatted as they walked.

The slightly naughty sea breeze continuously blew the surrounding golden hair and hit Chen An from time to time.

As he walked, Chen An felt the force gradually squeezing his arm.

"When did you come to Hollywood and why?" Chen An asked knowingly while walking on the road.

Naomi thought for a moment and answered, "A long time ago. I was still very young at that time. I wanted to try my luck in this world-famous movie city. I left my hometown by myself with nothing."

"To become a big star?"

"I want to become a shining star like Audrey Hepburn and let everyone see my performance, but the reality is not like that. It's too difficult here. There are so many people like me, as many as the sand here." Namio seemed to remember his own experience.

I originally thought it would be a road full of stars, but it turned out to be like the path I am walking on now, where I can't see any camera hardships.

Without a stable source of income and away from my old friends, the only thing I do every day is to cheer myself up, work, and keep looking for interview opportunities.

It seems insignificant in this huge city.

She also didn't know why she insisted, as her previous thoughts had long been erased in her busy life.

"But you didn't give up, did you?" Chen An turned his head to look at Naomi who seemed a little sad.

Then he said formally: "Failure is the norm in life, and only by persisting after failure can you achieve true success. Those who give up halfway are just like sand, but you are still persisting."

“Even if you’ve worked hard all day, you’ll still persevere and rush to the interview location. If you don’t persevere, you’ll miss another opportunity.”

"So all your efforts were not in vain. At least you seized an opportunity."

Then he stopped and looked at Naomi beside him without saying anything else.

The other party suddenly became happy after listening to Chen An's persuasion, curved his eyes and curled the corners of his mouth to smile: "Chen, you look young, but it looks weird to say such mature words."

After saying that, he tilted his head on Chen An's shoulder and continued walking forward.

Chen An touched his nose a little embarrassedly: "Really?"

“Of course, but I like it.”

　Mr. Potato can write 500 words in five hours, and I can only write 100 words in one hour. Does that mean I = Potato?
