FV: Chapter 242

Ji Yuxiao raised his head the moment he heard the movement and saw Lin Luoqing walking in with the two children.

Behind him, Luo Jia was helping with the luggage.

This semester was over. After determining that Ji Leyu and Lin Fei would no longer face danger, it was time for Luo Jia to leave and go about his own affairs. He would meet Ji Leyu and Lin Fei again for the weekly martial arts class.

Lin Fei and Ji Leyu didn’t know about this yet but Ji Yuxiao had already started to find a new driver for them.

Lin Luoqing originally wanted to keep Luo Jia to eat together but Luo Jia refused. “Next time. I won’t disturb your family reunion this time.”

Once he finished speaking, he swept an ambiguous look over Lin Luoqing and Ji Yuxiao. Then he turned around and walked out.

Lin Luoqing was a bit embarrassed by this glance. He silently looked at Ji Yuxiao and then turned away when their eyes met.

Ji Yuxiao chuckled and secretly thought that Lin Luoqing was shy again.

He pulled Lin Luoqing’s suitcase and looked at him. “Let’s go. Put your luggage away first.”

Lin Luoqing let out an ‘oh’ sound and looked down at the two children, not looking at him.

Ji Yuxiao narrowed his eyes. His smile was a bit wicked.

Along the way, Lin Luoqing avoided Ji Yuxiao’s gaze.

Ji Yuxiao looked at him and he looked elsewhere. Ji Yuxiao didn’t look at him and he secretly peeked at Ji Yuxiao.

Ji Yuxiao didn’t say anything and just let him hide.

Lin Luoqing felt the joy of reuniting after a long absence and the shyness of a first love that shouldn’t appear at this time.

It was probably because they hadn’t seen each other for a long time. This time, he suddenly saw the person he was thinking about and inexplicably seemed to have returned to his youthful love period.

He followed behind Ji Yuxiao, taking advantage of when he wasn’t paying attention to raise his eyes and look at him carefully.

Ji Yuxiao opened the door and walked in. Lin Luoqing had just stepped into the room. The next second, he was trapped by Ji Yuxiao against the door panel.

There was a slam and the door closed.

Ji Yuxiao looked at the person in his arms and asked, “Am I so terrible?”

Lin Luoqing shook his head.

“So you’ve been avoiding me?”

“No,” Lin Luoqing said innocently.

“You don’t dare look at me. Aren’t you avoiding me?”

“Aren’t I looking at you?” Lin Luoqing’s tone was soft. “When did I not dare to look at you?”

Ji Yuxiao chuckled and leaned toward his face. “Then who was it who immediately looked away as soon as I turned around?”

Lin Luoqing turned his head away silently.

Ji Yuxiao stretched out his hand and turned his head. Lin Luoqing was about to speak but Ji Yuxiao kissed him directly.

Lin Luoqing was stunned. After a while, he slowly opened his mouth and put his arms around Ji Yuxiao’s shoulders.

His heart was pounding and seemed to contain sugar. It was full of sweetness.

He moved to kiss Ji Yuxiao. The tip of his tongue licked Ji Yuxiao’s upper jaw and he was pressed against the door by Ji Yuxiao. Ji Yuxiao bit his lower lip lightly.

‘He is very seductive,’ Ji Yuxiao thought. He obviously looked innocent and young, but he was sometimes very seductive.

He kissed Lin Luoqing’s lips and held his waist. Lin Luoqing was pressed against his body and felt like his body had no strength.

He had never been Ji Yuxiao’s opponent in this type of matter. He was soon picked up by Ji Yuxiao.

After a while, Lin Luoqing said, “I haven’t eaten yet.”

Ji Yuxiao put him on the bed, looked at his crimson cheeks and said with a smile, “What does letting you sit on the bed have to do with eating?”

“Oh,” he teased deliberately. “Someone is thinking about something they shouldn’t be—”

Lin Luoqing picked up the pillow and went to hit him. Ji Yuxiao grabbed the pillow with a smile. “Why? Are you embarrassed and angry after I exposed it?”

Lin Luoqing turned around to get another pillow and hit him again.

Ji Yuxiao smiled and stood up. “Sit. I’ll help you unpack your luggage.”

“Unpack it well.” Lin Luoqing glared at him and said, “If you can’t unpack it well, you will sleep in the suitcase tonight.”

“If I unpack it, will I be able to sleep in your bed tonight?”

“You are dreaming!” Lin Luoqing exclaimed in a duplicitous manner.

Ji Yuxiao smiled. “That’s right. I naturally want to sleep with you in my dreams.”

Lin Luoqing raised his hand and threw the pillow over. “Stop talking and do it.”

“Okay.” Ji Yuxiao grabbed the pillow. “I promise it will be the same in bed tonight.”

Lin Luoqing, “!!!”

Lin Luoqing directly threw out the other pillow in shame.

What was he saying?

This was really dirty, too dirty!

The two of them bickered for a while before Aunt Zhang urged them to go downstairs to eat.

Lin Luoqing looked at the dazzling array of dishes on the table, all of which he liked. He couldn’t help feeling once again that it was good to be home.

Sure enough, he still liked this place the most.

After the filming of ‘Return to Jade’, the promotion of ‘All the Way to the West’ was put on the agenda again.

Director Li originally intended to let Lin Luoqing rest for a few more days, but Lin Luoqing looked at his work schedule and felt that he might be able to spare a few days to participate in the road publicity shows. Of course, more importantly, he didn’t want all the promotional work to be piled up around the Spring Festival. He wanted to spend some time with Ji Yuxiao, Lin Fei and Ji Leyu during the Spring Festival.

Director Li had no opinion on this. He adjusted the schedule arrangement and brought his publicity forward.

Lin Luoqing’s road publicity shows were all in cities that were relatively close to him. He would fly there after dropping off the children in the morning and fly back after the show. If the time was early then he could pick up the two children. If the time was too late then he could say goodnight to the two children before going to bed.

Ji Yuxiao saw him like this and felt sorry for him. “Aren’t you tired?”

“I’m okay,” Lin Luoqing replied. “The company has had nothing big recently and the first stage of the road shows is almost over. There are only two left.”

Ji Yuxiao was relieved. He actually wanted to spoil Lin Luoqing and wished that Lin Luoqing would stop working and just lie in bed at home and play with his phone. However, Lin Luoqing wanted to work and he did it seriously and with a lot of effort.

He was just thinking about this when he saw Lin Luoqing raise his head with a clear smile. “Besides, I can celebrate the new year with you like this.”

“Okay,” Ji Yuxiao said softly.

It was another new year before he knew it. He thought of the last new year where he and his father had their own thoughts.

“For this new year, let’s spend it at home,” Ji Yuxiao suggested.

Lin Luoqing nodded. “Of course.”

Ji Yuxiao smiled and thought that when the time came, he could buy more fireworks. Lin Luoqing was sometimes like a big child and he should like this type of thing. There were also red envelopes. He had to prepare three of them.

Ji Yuxiao felt full of anticipation when he thought of their three surprised faces.

On this day, Lin Luoqing was actively running around doing the road shows when he heard Wu Xinyuan say that he was on a hot search.

The hot search entry was ‘Qin Wu thanks Lin Luoqing’ and it was just under ‘Qin Wu won an award.’

Lin Luoqing switched to a side account and went in to take a look. He found that at a music festival at the end of the year, Qin Wu won the Rising Star Singer Award for the album ‘I See You.’

At the award ceremony that just ended, she gave an acceptance speech related to Lin Luoqing when accepting the award.

In the video, Qin Wu was dressed up brightly and magnificently with a silver-white dress, hair in curls and diamonds decorating her ears. She was like a blooming peony flower.

She thanked her fans, the organizers, the judges, her producers and finally Lin Luoqing.

“At this time last year, I wasn’t a singer, I was an unknown actor. My acting skills were very poor and I myself had a headache on behalf of the director who guided me. I apologized to the director over and over again and practiced very seriously. However, sometimes, your efforts are useless no matter how hard you work. I was still dragging down others, being a burden and doubting myself. I felt self-loathing and denial.”

“I never felt like I was a good actress and told my agent at the time that I wasn’t good at acting and I shouldn’t act. I didn’t want to bother people. I wanted to sing and I thought I might have some talent in this area. Then my agent said I couldn’t do it and that I had to act. It was useless no matter how much I pleaded with him. I kept being denied and had to continue to apologize to the directors and actors who were dragged down by me.”

“This was until I met Lin Luoqing. He told me very firmly that you sing very well. He said that I should be more confident and not always apologize to people. I should stop thinking that what I did was wrong and told me to go the way I wanted to go. For this reason, he helped me. That is how I managed to stand here today and see you, hearing my own song.”

“Without him, there would be no me today and no Qin Wu now. Thank you, Teacher Lin. In the future, I will continue to work hard to create more songs. I hope that everyone can meet better people like me, believe in themselves and bravely choose their own paths.”

This award acceptance speech by Qin Wu was very emotional. Everyone who saw the video couldn’t help substituting themselves in it and had mixed feelings.

[I cried when I heard it. I am also at work. Every time I say sorry, every time I doubt myself and think that I am too bad, I also want to meet someone who tells me that I am very good and lets me be confident.]

[Ahhhhh I can understand the feeling that I am not suitable and I can’t leave. I feel that I am a burden every day. At that time, I was in pain but I didn’t meet a person who affirmed me.]

[Wu wu wu, thank you Lin Luoqing. If it wasn’t for Lin Luoqing, Sister Yu would definitely still doubt herself now.]

[Lin Luoqing is really gentle. Before, Yao Momo said that he didn’t dislike her acting skills even though she didn’t always grasp the feelings of the characters. Now Qin Wu said that he changed her life. He is too much.]

[A friend of women—Lin Luoqing.]

[Hahahaha, it isn’t just a friend of women. Lin Luoqing is also very good to boys.]

[Stop talking. Teacher Lin, don’t worry. ‘All the Way to the West’ is reserved for me. Thank you for helping our Sister Wu.]

[That’s right. Teacher Lin, fly bravely! We will always be with you!]

Lin Luoqing looked at it and felt that Qin Wu was a bit too formal. He hadn’t expected Qin Wu to thank him publicly on this occasion. The fact that she could get to where she was today was more about her own ‘already excellent’ strength. Otherwise, she wouldn’t be able to rely on an ‘interlude’ song to break through the siege and awaken the sluggish music world.

What he did was give her a chance.

Lin Luoqing switched accounts, and forwarded Qin Wu’s award-winning Weibo. He replied to her: [You are already excellent. You should be most grateful to your excellent self.]

In an instant, everyone who saw this reply was touched and came to Lin Luoqing’s Weibo post. They constantly commented and sent private messages.

[Ahhhh, brother is too gentle.]

[Brother is too good. Brother, you must’ve had a hard time descending to Earth, right?]

[I always thought that people in the entertainment industry were fake but Lin Luoqing has always made me feel quite real.]

[Wu wu wu, practice. I want to sing too!]

[Practice, I want to learn to draw.]

[Teacher Lin, can you encourage my mother? I also need someone to affirm me. Thank you.]
Soon, someone replied to this comment: [Sister, you are great. I will affirm you.]

[I came to encourage you. Have you seen Goddess Qin Wu? She has been scolded by others and felt that she was a burden. So you just haven’t found a path that suits you.]

For a time, Lin Luoqing’s fans continued to increase and the number of people who wanted to watch ‘All the Way to the West’ continued to rise. Even in the hot search of ‘Qin Wu thanks Lin Luoqing’, there were people constantly shouting to recommend everyone to watch the movie ‘All the Way to the West.’

Director Li saw it and laughed for a long time. “Okay, as expected of you, Luoqing.”

Lin Luoqing, who felt that he had done nothing, ‘Ah, this…’

Forget it, as long as everyone was happy.

Lin Luoqing smiled and lowered his head to reply to Ji Yuxiao’s WeChat message.

Somewhere he didn’t know, a beautiful and cute girl with a pair of almond eyes was watching Qin Wu’s award-winning video on her phone. She never knew that her sister had been disliked by others and was secretly unhappy.

It was all because she was too young to protect her sister. Once she was older, she could work with her sister. This way, her sister would be protected and no one would bully her.

Teacher Xiao Lin. The girl tilted her head. Was Teacher Lin a teacher? What did he teach?

If he could teach her sister then he should be a music teacher.

In the future when she was older, she would also go to Teacher Lin to learn to sing. This way, she could sing with her sister.

The girl thought happily and shook her short legs. She really wanted to grow up quickly.
