Lin Luoqing came back and saw Ji Yuxiao sitting on the bed and playing with his phone with an extremely happy expression. His smile made him seem like he had won 500 million.
“What good thing happened to you?” He asked curiously.
Ji Yuxiao looked at him and smiled. “You guess.”
“Did you get 500 million?”
Ji Yuxiao looked disdainful. “Is 500 million worth me being so happy?”
Lin Luoqing was dumbfounded. ‘…Isn’t 500 million worth it?!’
He was acting like it was too ordinary!
He would be happy for a long time!
“Then what is it?” Lin Luoqing was puzzled. “Is there anything more worthy of happiness than 500 million?”
“Of course.”
“For example?”
Ji Yuxiao smiled proudly. “For example, Xiao Yu giving me pocket money.”
Lin Luoqing, “!!!”
Lin Luoqing instantly sat down beside him and asked curiously, “Why did he also give you pocket money?”
“I guess he was taught by Fei Fei.” Ji Yuxiao guessed. “Those who are close to vermillion turn red and those who are close to ink turn black. Fei Fei is considerate and sensible. I should really make a pennant for Fei Fei that says: Motivate your younger brother with learning, educate your younger brother with morality and live a long life with your younger brother.”
Lin Luoqing laughed. “Do it. Do it when you go back this time. Fei Fei must be very disdainful when he sees it.”
“Still, it won’t affect that this pennant has been deeply rooted in my heart.”
Lin Luoqing smiled. “So you are secretly happy because of this?”
Ji Yuxiao raised an eyebrow. “Isn’t this worth my joy?”
“It is worth it,” Lin Luoqing quickly affirmed. “It must be worth more than 500 million. Then did you promise Xiao Yu to sleep together tonight?”
Ji Yuxiao was surprised. “How did you know?”
“It is because you were like this the last time Fei Fei gave you pocket money.” He looked at Ji Yuxiao and deliberately teased him. “Silly father.”
Ji Yuxiao, “……”
Ji Yuxiao squinted at him. “Aren’t you silly? If you aren’t silly then why show off to others?”
He deliberately learned from Lin Luoqing’s previous tone as he talked. “Do you know why Fei Fei came to film? It is because he wants to give me pocket money. Haha.”
Lin Luoqing, “……”
Lin Luoqing retorted instantly. “You are speaking as if you didn’t show off. Wu wu wu, my little baby. Fei Fei is too sweet. Wasn’t this you, Chairman Ji?”
Ji Yuxiao, “……”
Lin Luoqing snorted and laughed. “Just before I came back, you must’ve shown off to others, right?” Lin Luoqing raised a finger and pointed it at Ji Yuxiao’s phone with a convinced expression.
Ji Yuxiao, “……”
Ji Yuxiao silently gripped his phone. Yes, he did show off and showed off several times. There was no way. Which father wouldn’t be excited about this type of thing?
Wasn’t it normal to show off?
Who wouldn’t be moved when a child gave pocket money to adults?
Oh, other children didn’t give out pocket money at all. Hehe, only his two babies did it. Hehehe~
Lin Luoqing looked at him and said with a smile, “I just said it, silly father.”
Ji Yuxiao snorted. “Once the other half of Xiao Yu’s salary arrives and he comes to give you pocket money, you will definitely show off.”
Lin Luoqing listened to these words and thought in his heart, ‘Will Ji Leyu give me pocket money?’
Wasn’t this a bit baseless?
It had to be known that when he first became Ji Leyu’s dad, his only dream was to not end up marrying a dog in the future. As for pocket money or something like that, he never dreamed of it!
“You don’t believe me?”
“I will wait and see,” Lin Luoqing said.
He never dreamed of such a cool thing happening but what if?
Ji Leyu learned from Lin Fei and Lin Fei gave both him and Ji Yuxiao pocket money. Then Ji Leyu might follow suit and be impartial!
Lin Luoqing thought of this and was full of a lot of expectations.
“What did Xiao Yu tell you?” He was curious. “Did he really say he would give it to me when the other half of his salary arrives?”
“He didn’t say it but I could guess his meaning. He likes you so much and let me sit with you and give you flowers. How can he forget you? He didn’t tell me to give you the pocket money for safekeeping and I’m not used to it.”
Lin Luoqing heard this and couldn’t help laughing again. “He is still young and definitely doesn’t have much awareness of money.”
“Still, he is already conscious of keeping the two of us together all the time.”
Lin Luoqing raised his chin. “Why? You aren’t satisfied?”
Ji Yuxiao immediately put an arm around him. “How can that be? I praise his approach.”
Lin Luoqing was happy. He was immersed in the joy that Ji Leyu might also give him pocket money.
Of course, what made him happy wasn’t the pocket money itself but Ji Leyu’s love and trust in him.
In the end, he had been getting along with Ji Leyu for so long and Lin Luoqing had put in sincerity and effort. He naturally hoped that Ji Leyu would also like him.
There was no need for Ji Leyu to like him as much as Ji Yuxiao. It was fine as long as Ji Leyu liked him.
With this expectation, Lin Luoqing felt that he was becoming more and more motivated to film.
Ji Leyu’s scenes hadn’t been completely filmed. The next day, Director Li took advantage of the time when the sun hadn’t set to first film the scene where Lu Ming, Xiang Wen and Fu Xi entered the village and asked about Fu Shuyi and the biggest tree.
They directly used a village near the scenic spot for the village. The assistant director selected several local villagers to be extras and also chose an old man to be Ji Leyu’s grandfather in the movie.
Director Li told Ji Leyu to get acquainted with him. Ji Leyu blinked and looked at the old man in front of him. The old man also looked at him with kind eyes.
This child was so good-looking. The old man had never seen such a beautiful child like him. This subconsciously raised the love for children in the old man and he asked Ji Leyu, “Do you eat candy?”
Ji Leyu shook his head and obediently called him Grandpa.
The old man nodded happily and touched his head.
The director talked about the scene with the old man. It was actually very simple. He made a wreath and chased his grandson Xiao Xi all over the yard to wear it on him. He was chasing when he happened to hear someone ask, “Where is the biggest tree?” The old man didn’t hear it clearly but his grandson poked his head out and shouted, “I know.”
Xiang Wen’s group immediately came over and said that they came here to find someone. The other person only left news that she would be at the biggest tree and they hoped someone could take them there.
Xiao Xi was well-behaved and lively. He agreed very helpfully.
He walked up to his grandfather, who placed the wreath on his head and told him to be careful. He nodded in agreement and led the handsome Fu Xi.
The car and car keys were left at the old man’s house. In addition, everyone in the village knew Xiao Xi so the old man wasn’t too worried. He sat in the yard and waited for them to return.
Director Li had the old man and Ji Leyu try the scene together. Ji Leyu acted without any problems. He looked like an innocent, cute and agile child. When he poked his head out and said, “I know,” Director Li almost died from the cuteness. He secretly thought that this scene would be an emoticon pack at the time.
Compared to Ji Leyu, the old man was a normal villager and he was nervous in front of the camera.
Director Li gave guidance to the old man alone for a while. Ji Leyu was idle and bored so he returned to Lin Luoqing and Ji Yuxiao. He held his little dragonfly and played with Lin Fei.
Director Li turned around and saw the straw dragonfly in his hand. He was a bit curious and walked over to take a look.
He wondered, “Where did you get this from?”
Ji Leyu replied to him proudly, “My father made it.”
Director Li silently looked at Ji Yuxiao and thought, ‘I couldn’t see it. This person’s clothes and accessories look very exquisite and his temperament is even better. I didn’t expect him to be able to make such gadgets.’
“Then you should hold this as well when you film later,” Director Li told Ji Leyu.
Ji Leyu nodded obediently. “Yes.”
He turned to look at Ji Yuxiao and raised his little dragonfly. “I’m going to film with it.”
“Okay.” Ji Yuxiao patted his head.
Ji Leyu also thought it was good. It was as if his father also participated in the movie. Now their family of four was there.
The cameras were officially turned on. He changed his clothes, took the little dragonfly and ran around the yard. The little dragonfly followed his movements and its wings constantly shook like it was flying.
He poked his little head out and said, “I know.”
Then he told his grandfather that he would show them the way. His grandfather placed the wreath on him and he carried the small dragonfly as he led Lin Luoqing’s group all the way to the mountain not far away.
The little dragonfly swayed and fell beside him like a child’s heart.
Director Li took advantage of the fact that the sun hadn’t set to set up the machines again. He prepared to film the people in front of the sunset again.
This time, Ji Leyu wasn’t the same as before. He designed his own movements as he carefully shook the small dragonfly in his hand and happily spun around. The dragonfly flew beside him as he smiled innocently in the sunset. The sunset entered his eyes as he raised his head to look at the sunset. The light dotted his eyes and looked brilliant like a river of stars. The sunset in his eyes became the morning glow and he became the brightest gold in the red-burned sky and the green mountain and forest.
Fu Xi called out to him and he looked back, his eyes full of hope and light.
He strode toward Fu Xi. The light chased him and dyed him like a forest elf.
He walked in the world paved by the sunset, walking into the hope of the future.
Director Li looked at the monitor and silently held his breath. It was so beautiful, really beautiful. This scene was the most beautiful among all the scenes he had filmed.
He never expected that the effect of this scene would be so amazing. The finished product was simply more beautiful than he expected.
Director Li looked at Ji Leyu, who was holding hands with Lin Luoqing. He just let Ji Leyu play at will today to show a bit of fun and to play with the dragonfly in his hand. Director Li hadn’t expected him to perform so well.
‘He is really suitable to be an actor,’ Director Li thought. ‘He is the most talented child actor I have ever seen.’
Ji Leyu efficiently completed the scene and Director Li rewarded him by adding a few more shots of him with Fu Xi’s group when they played in the village. He even went to plant trees with Fu Xi’s group.
He was still young and didn’t understand what the tree meant. He just looked at it ignorantly and promised Fu Xi. “I will help you look after this tree. Brother, next time you come, I will take you to see the tree.”
Fu Xi gave a rare smile. He touched the child’s head and whispered, “Okay.”
A few days later, Lu Ming said goodbye to the village and drove back.
At this point, Ji Leyu’s scenes had been completed.
There was no cake store in the village. Director Li remembered that he had previously bought Lin Fei a cake when he finished. If he didn’t buy it for Ji Leyu, the child might go back and throw a tantrum because he felt that he and his brother were treated differently. Therefore, he smiled and told Ji Leyu, “Wait until we go back and I will buy a cake for you, okay?”
Ji Leyu nodded. He didn’t care about his cake. He cared about his salary.
He jumped toward Ji Yuxiao excitedly. He leaned toward Ji Yuxiao’s ear, covered it and whispered, “Has the other half of my salary arrived?”
“It arrived.” Ji Yuxiao pinched his little face.
In fact, Director Li had people send the salary from the time the sunset scene was filmed.
He was so satisfied with that scene that he liked Ji Leyu a bit more.
“If one day Xiao Yu wants to film, you can contact me at any time.” Director Li told Lin Luoqing as he looked at Ji Leyu, who was whispering with Ji Yuxiao not far away.
Lin Luoqing teased him with a smile, “Why? You don’t love your white moonlight any longer?”
“Love is still love, but I can love two at the same time.”
Lin Luoqing was dumbfounded. ‘??? What type of scumbag words are these?’
“In terms of personality, Xiao Yu is more suitable for the entertainment industry than Fei Fei. His personality is more outgoing,” Director Li analyzed it objectively.
This was true.
Lin Luoqing turned to look at Ji Leyu. Ji Leyu was whispering something with Ji Yuxiao. His body was small and he looked like a snowball.
‘He is still young. He is a small baby and there is no hurry,’ Lin Luoqing thought.
“Let’s talk about it later.” Lin Luoqing smiled at Director Li. “If there is really such a day, I will definitely contact you.”
“Okay.”
After the filming of the village scenes, Director Li asked the staff to collect the equipment. He announced that they would leave here the next day and return to the previous city to continue filming.
That night, the owner of the farmhouse specially cooked many dishes for them.
After eating, Lin Luoqing sat on the bed and packed up his things. He checked to see if he had left anything behind.
He was checking it when he saw Ji Leyu quietly push open the door and poke his little head in.
“What’s wrong?” Lin Luoqing saw his cautious appearance and asked with a smile, “Are you finding me for something?”
Ji Leyu nodded and walked in.
His hands were behind his back as he walked in front of Lin Luoqing and said in an elderly tone, “Dad, I’ll give you a gift.”
Lin Luoqing had a vague guess.
He was a bit excited and felt some irrepressible joy.
He wondered, “What is it?”
“Close your eyes.”
Lin Luoqing immediately closed his eyes cooperatively.
“Hold out your hand,” Ji Leyu instructed.
Lin Luoqing reached out and secretly thought, ‘He is really a child. He is so cute and loving when he speaks.’
It was only then that Ji Leyu put his hands in front of him. There was a bank card in his hand.
This was what he had asked Ji Yuxiao for. Ji Yuxiao had said that the other half of his salary was in here.
Ji Leyu put the bank card onto Lin Luoqing’s palm and said sweetly. “Okay.”
Lin Luoqing opened his eyes and saw that there was a bank card in his hand. A smile instantly spread across his face and he looked at Ji Leyu with joy.
“What is this?” He deliberately teased Ji Leyu. “Why are you giving me this?”
Ji Leyu proudly stuck out his chest. “It is half my salary.”
He added, “Here you go. It is pocket money. Take it and spend it.”
He was like a little adult.
