FV: Chapter 210

Ji Yuxiao first asked the driver to send Lin Luoqing to the hotel’s crew. Then he had the driver send him to the hotel that the secretary had already selected.

Seeing Lin Luoqing get out of the car, Wu Xinyuan also had the driver stop his car. Together with the assistant and bodyguard, he got out of the car and followed Lin Luoqing into the hotel.

Lin Luoqing had rested for a few days before coming back. Director Li was afraid he wouldn’t be able to find the right state for a while and specially scheduled his scenes for the next morning.

Lin Luoqing wasn’t worried at all. He looked at the lines in the script that he had already memorized and appeared on the set in high spirits the next day.

Wen Ziming saw him and reached out to beckon him to come over, asking him, “How was your rest? Are things settled at home?”

“It is solved. Thank you for your concern, Teacher Wen.”

“There is no need to be so polite,” Wen Ziming said with a smile. “Since you are back, let’s practice with each other.”

“Okay,” Lin Luoqing agreed.

He came in a hurry and didn’t take the script. Fortunately, he had already memorized Fu Xi’s lines and didn’t need to go back to get the script.

Wen Ziming saw that he didn’t have a script and was more attentive when saying the lines. He even changed his expression along with the lines. He thought he had done enough preparations and his attitude made people unable to find a single fault.

Without looking at his work attitude, his acting skills were considered the best among his peers.

At his age, he had high popularity, excellent business ability and a humble personality. He should be able to go a long way in the future.

Director Li watched from a distance as the two of them practiced their lines and didn’t bother them. He waited until the two of them were finished before asking them to come over and try their positions.

Lin Luoqing quickly stood up and walked over along with Wen Ziming.

Director Li talked to them and let the two of them try going through the movements. Then they were ready to start filming.

Both of them had been working together for two months and had a certain understanding of each other’s acting methods. Therefore,the filming was very smooth. They only NGed twice before completely passing.

“Not bad, Xiao Lin,” Director Li said with a smile. “You didn’t leave your acting skills behind when you went back to rest.”

Lin Luoqing already understood his bad taste very well. He didn’t smile and looked cold and noble. “Yes.”

Director Li thought, ‘…Okay, it is really fun but it isn’t as fun as before.’

Director Li sighed. He felt nostalgic when thinking of the easily teased Lin Luoqing in the past.

Lin Luoqing turned his head arrogantly and ignored him. He maintained Fu Xi’s lofty coldness and returned to his rest area.

This was the first day coming back to work. Ji Yuxiao thought about his reputation and didn’t come to see him too early. It was because he was afraid that others would think that Lin Luoqing’s mind wasn’t on acting if someone came to visit the set on the first day he came back to work after a leave of absence. Therefore, Ji Yuxiao took the two children out to play.

Ji Yuxiao didn’t take Lin Fei and Ji Yuxiao to the zoo or amusement park. Instead, he took the two of them to the mall to stroll around and play.

They passed by a doll-catching machine. Ji Yuxiao saw that the dolls inside were cute and asked the two children, “Do you like them? I will catch two for you.”

“I like it,” Ji Leyu was very happy.

Lin Fei didn’t like it very much, but he naturally wouldn’t refuse if Ji Yuxiao said he would catch it for them. Therefore, he nodded.

Ji Yuxiao saw that the two of them wanted it, so he bought coins and started to grab dolls.

He had always been a master of these games. After a while, he grabbed one each for the two children.

Ji Leyu was pleasantly surprised. “Father, you are so amazing.”

Lin Fei also felt he was a bit amazing.

Previously, he hadn’t caught the little shark at the entrance of the school. After returning home, he searched for how to catch the dolls and watched the video. Then he went to catch it several times and finally caught a doll.

He hadn’t expected Ji Yuxiao to catch it so quickly.

Ji Yuxiao smiled. “Do you want to learn? I will teach you.”

Ji Leyu shook his head and said sweetly, “I don’t have to learn. Brother will catch it and give it to me.”

He remembered that before the final exam, Lin Fei caught a soft lamb in the doll-catching machine at the entrance of the school. He took the lamb, found the store owner and handed her the lamb.

“I caught it,” Lin Fei said calmly. “I said it before. If I catch it, I will return it and give it to you.”

The female store owner looked at him for a while before remembering that he had indeed paid for the baby shark first. He said he would give her a doll if he caught it in exchange for taking the little shark away first.

“Then I’ll give you the money,” The store owner said. “A doll for a doll. If you give me the lamb then it means I have taken more of your money. I will return the money for you.”

“No need.” Lin Fei kept his promise. “At that time, I said it was fine and I would buy it with money first.”

He put the lamb on the counter, his voice not shaking at all. “Thank you.”

Then he pulled Ji Leyu away.

Ji Leyu followed him, leaning close to his ear and asking him, “This doll was given to that sister just now to thank her for the little shark. However, you can’t give it to others if you catch a doll in the future, understand?”

He said in a straightforward manner, “You can only give it to me. You can only catch a doll for me.”

Lin Fei, “……”

Lin Fei turned to look at him, eyes full of disdain and helplessness. Ji Leyu had long been used to such eyes and nodded seriously. “Don’t give it to others.”

Lin Fei raised a hand and pinched his face. He was wondering why he couldn’t turn Ji Leyu into a doll, put him into the doll-catching machine and then catch Ji Leyu out himself.

He thought about this and imagined Ji Leyu’s appearance as a little doll. This made him a bit amused, so he let go of his hand and laughed slightly.

Ji Yuxiao listened to Ji Leyu’s unmotivated words and told him, “You don’t have to learn after your brother learned it and you just want to rely on your brother to treat you well. Be careful about your brother ignoring you one day.”

Ji Leyu raised the doll in his hand and raised his chin proudly. “No way, my brother loves me the most.”

Ji Yuxiao chuckled and turned to look at Lin Fei.

Lin Fei, “……”

Lin Fei silently lowered his head while experiencing a headache.

The smile on Ji Yuxiao’s face deepened.

He didn’t tease Lin Fei and looked at the doll-catching machine in front of him again. He bought a few more coins and started to catch new dolls.

Ji Leyu was puzzled. “Father, why are you still catching? Don’t we already have enough?”

“I am catching a few for your dad,” Ji Yuxiao said with a smile. “I will catch the biggest one for him.”

“Wow~” Ji Leyu immediately leaned over. He stared intently at the moving claw and concentrated on it.

Lin Fei also wanted to catch a doll for Lin Luoqing. He hadn’t caught any for Lin Luoqing yet. Now there were so many in front of him and he could choose one that Lin Luoqing liked.

He thought so and instinctively wanted to catch a little tiger. Unfortunately, he looked around and there was no tiger, no little dragon and not even a small cactus. Lin Fei finally had to decide on a little lion.

Well, it was a bit close to a little tiger.

He bought two coins and started to catch the lion cub.

Ji Yuxiao took out the doll he had caught from the machine and saw Lin Fei standing in front of another machine.

He walked over and asked, “Do you want to play too?”

Lin Fei let out a vague hum. He thought it wasn’t good for him to catch it only for Lin Luoqing and not for Ji Yuxiao.

In particular, he was now holding the doll that Ji Yuxiao caught for him in his arms.

Then it was better to catch one for Ji Yuxiao, otherwise it would be bad if he was jealous.

Lin Fei thought so and bought a few more coins.

The machines were different from each other but the skill of catching dolls was similar. Lin Fei learned it in order to catch the doll at that time. Therefore, it didn’t take him too long to catch the little lion in the doll machine.

“Here you go,” he handed the little lion to Ji Yuxiao.

Ji Yuxiao was pleasantly surprised. “For me?”

He thought that Lin Fei just liked it, so he wanted to play by himself and catch it.

Lin Fei nodded.

Ji Yuxiao hugged him excitedly and kissed his little face. “Thank you, Fei Fei. Fei Fei is so kind.”

Lin Fei thought, ‘…Father’s love of saying thanks probably can’t be fixed.’

Lin Fei inwardly sighed. Forget it. In any case, he was used to turning a blind eye. He closed one eye and stuffed the little lion into Ji Yuxiao’s arms.

Ji Yuxiao saw him like this and almost laughed out loud. Why was Lin Fei so cute? He turned a blind eye again. Ji Yuxiao felt that he also wanted to rub against Lin Fei’s face.

However, he wasn’t Lin Luoqing and he didn’t dare to really rub it. He could only kiss Lin Fei’s little face again.

Lin Fei, “……”

Lin Fei could only wait for him to get enough of kissing before being put down. He stood in front of the doll-catching machine with red ears and continued to catch a doll for Lin Luoqing.

In the end, he also caught one for Ji Leyu. It was good. There was one for each person and no one had to be jealous.

Lin Fei thought with satisfaction as he held the doll that Ji Yuxiao gave him and the doll he caught for Lin Luoqing.

The father and sons held large and small dolls and returned with a full load. This made a lot of children passing by feel envious or start crying.

Ji Yuxiao looked at the time and decided to go to the set to find Lin Luoqing.

He told the two children, “We will arrive at your dad’s place of work soon. Don’t run around and follow me. Be obedient and don’t mess with other people’s things.”

Ji Leyu nodded obediently. “Yes.”

Lin Fei also nodded to show that he understood.

Ji Yuxiao was very relieved about the two of them, so he didn’t say anything else. He turned the steering wheel and drove toward the set.

Lin Luoqing just had to finish filming the last scene with Wen Ziming and Hou Wenyu and he could call it a day.

His condition was very good, let alone Wen Ziming and Hou Wenyu’s condition. The director watched in a very satisfied manner. Then he shouted after the last line, “Okay, it’s over!”

Lin Luoqing released the tension on his face and moved his face.

It was really hard to keep himself from laughing. In particular, Wen Ziming and Hou Wenyu’s lines were so funny that he almost couldn’t help wanting to laugh several times. Still, he managed to bear it.

He thought of Lin Fei. He didn’t know how Lin Fei wasn’t tired from having a paralyzed face all day.

The moment he finished thinking this, he turned around and saw Ji Yuxiao sitting on the chair not far away. Lin Fei and Ji Leyu were sitting next to him. They saw him looking over and Ji Leyu waved a small hand at him.

Lin Luoqing hurriedly walked over. There was a smile on his face that he didn’t even realize.

He asked, “Are you done with the children?”

Ji Yuxiao had told him before that he would take them to the mall to play and would come see him later. Lin Luoqing knew Ji Yuxiao was thinking about him and naturally had no opinion.

However, he thought they would come later.

“Have you eaten?”

“No,” Ji Yuxiao answered. “I think you probably haven’t eaten so I wanted to eat with you.”

Ji Leyu laughed. “Yes.”

The smile on Lin Luoqing’s face deepened. “It just so happens that I’m finished filming now. Wait for me. I’ll talk to the director and leave.”

“Okay,” Ji Yuxiao agreed.

Lin Luoqing turned and went to find Director Li.

He didn’t have a night scene and naturally didn’t need to be present. Director Li nodded and approved it.

Lin Luoqing and Ji Yuxiao took Lin Fei and Ji Leyu to the parking lot.

It wasn’t until they walked out that Director Li accidentally saw the backs of Lin Luoqing and Lin Fei.

It was only then that he remembered. “Isn’t it time to choose a young actor?”

“Now the scenes have reached the second half and we need to choose a young actor. Once the time comes, we still need to teach them how to act when they join the crew. Do you have a favorite young actor?” He asked the assistant director.

The assistant director paid attention to a few child actors and showed the director on his tablet.

Director Li said critically, “This one is very cute and well-behaved. How can they all be so soft and cute? Isn’t there a cool young actor?”

The assistant director pointed to one of the kids. “Isn’t he cool?”

“This look is obviously a child with a strained face trying to be cool. It is unnatural and not natural, okay?”

“Then I’ll take another look,” the assistant director said.

The director nodded. He wasn’t in a hurry with this selection. After all, there weren’t many shots of the child actor and no one expected the child actor to actually act. If he really couldn’t find his ideal, he could find a similar one.

It was a young Fu Xi and it wouldn’t affect the box office or word of mouth. It was just a small supporting role. Director Li didn’t take this little actor too seriously.

“The grown-up Fu Xi is played by Lin Luoqing. You can see if there are any child actors who look like Lin Luoqing. If there is, you can give priority to them.”

“Okay,” the assistant director replied.

After answering this way, he never thought he would see a child version of Lin Luoqing in two days. Not only did he look like Lin Luoqing but he also looked cool. He was obviously still a child but he was extremely arrogant and cold. It wasn’t like Lin Luoqing. It was a bit like… Fu Xi as a child!

The assistant director was ecstatic and wished that he could immediately hold the child in front of Director Li for him to take a look.

However, right now, the child who caused the assistant director’s inner ecstasy had just arrived at the parking lot and was getting ready to get in the car.

Lin Luoqing helped open the door for him and saw many dolls on the back seat.

He blinked doubtfully and Ji Yuxiao said with a smile, “These trophies belong to Fei Fei and me.”

He took out the doll he had caught and stuffed it into Lin Luoqing’s arms. “Oh, this is for you.”

Once he finished speaking, he leaned close to Lin Luoqing’s ear and whispered, “You are a big baby so I caught more for you. It is more than Fei Fei and Xiao Yu combined.”

Lin Luoqing smiled. The petals in his heart collided, spilling layers of nectar.

He looked at Ji Yuxiao and felt that this person was very cute at this moment, even a bit childish.

Ji Yuxiao also smiled. He grabbed the doll from Lin Luoqing’s arms. He approached Lin Luoqing’s face, stuck the doll’s mouth to his face and let the doll kiss him.

It was as if Ji Yuxiao kissed him.

Lin Luoqing instantly lowered his head in an embarrassed manner. He looked at the doll in his arms with joy and the happiness in his eyes couldn’t be concealed.
