Chapter 591: Chapter 591: I Want to Be Her Hardcore Fan!
"Would that be considered impolite?" Tang Li asked.
Tomorrow night she would be the junior among them, and if everyone else brought gifts, her situation would be more than just awkward.
Tang Li outlined her concerns in a text message.
After all, she didn’t have the status of Song Baiyan, nor was Wong Yangming her teacher, and most importantly, it was Gao Wenlan who invited her to dinner. She was worried about not bringing a gift and causing Gao Wenlan to lose face.
In the text message, Song Baiyan said, "If you must buy, then buy a box of white tea."
With that advice, Tang Li went to a shopping mall to the tea counter.
The next day was the wrap-up, and since she had to catch the afternoon high-speed train, Tang Li couldn’t treat the director and others to a meal, so she asked Yuan Qin to buy dozens of boxes of drinks for the crew.
Since Tang Li was not going to Shangbu for work, and wasn’t a top-tier star who had paparazzi following her as soon as she stepped out, she didn’t bring Yu Sui or Yuan Qin with her and went to the high-speed train station in Lin City alone, traveling light.
After filming "Phoenix Concubine," Tang Li’s hair had grown past her shoulders.
She was still dressed casually, wearing a loose short-sleeved T-shirt and cropped trousers, with a backpack slung over and one hand carrying a box of tea.
Considering that many young people would buy second-class seats, Tang Li chose a business seat.
Even so, she was recognized in the restroom.
Tang Li came out of the stall without taking off her mask. A female college student was at the washstand, voice chatting with a friend. When she caught a glimpse of Tang Li out of the corner of her eye, at first she was indifferent, but suddenly something clicked, and she couldn’t help but take another look at Tang Li’s profile.
Under the mask, Tang Li’s nose was gracefully straight, and her frame and demeanor set her apart from ordinary people.
Unable to voice chat, the college girl restrained her excitement and texted her friend: "I think I just ran into Tang Li!!!"
"Is it the one who played Ying Xuaner?"
"Yes, her!"
The college girl blushed with excitement: "She’s so beautiful in person, she’s washing her hands right next to me, what do I do, what do I do?!"
Her buddy replied in seconds: "Quick! Ask for a photo with her!"
Tang Li came out of the restroom, and a hesitant female voice called from behind: "Tang Li?"
Hearing this, Tang Li turned to look.
Seeing a female student, Tang Li’s eyes curved slightly: "You’ve got the wrong person."
"It’s okay." The college girl understood the celebrities’ desire for privacy when traveling and readily nodded: "I just thought you were very beautiful, can we take a photo together?"
Tang Li: "..."
The college girl looked around and covered her mouth with her hand: "I know you’re Tang Li, I won’t tell anyone, my friend and I are both fans of ’Original Sin’, we really like the way you portrayed Ying Xuaner, so we boldly want to take a picture."
She assured, "I won’t post it online, just want to keep it for myself."
Seeing her earnest, clean eyes, Tang Li no longer denied or hesitated, removed her mask: "Let’s take one picture, but don’t share it outside."
The college girl nodded repeatedly, pulling out a selfie stick.
Though they were supposed to take just one picture, they ended up taking three.
After the photos, Tang Li left, and the college girl bombarded her friend with messages: "Tang Li is so approachable, not at all aloof like the internet says!"
"Her looks are super high, definitely not a surgery-face!"
"Her figure is also really excellent, definitely about 170cm tall!"
"She travels without an assistant, totally unpretentious, I’m going to be her die-hard fan! When I get back, no, I’m starting a fan club for Tang Li right now!"
Unaware, Tang Li boarded the high-speed train, not knowing she just gained a fan club.
Gao Wenlan had already sent a car to wait for Tang Li at the high-speed rail station.
At around 6:30 in the evening, Tang Li arrived at the Wong family.
The Wong family had indeed not hosted a large birthday feast, Tang Li stepped into the mansion and saw not many guests.
Gao Wenlan led her to the living room: "Dinner starts at seven, sit down for a while."
