FV: Chapter 64

The next morning, Ji Yuxiao woke up Lin Fei and Ji Leyu when the alarm clock rang and prepared to send them to school.

He usually didn’t do such things, because it was really troublesome for him with his inconvenient legs. However, Lin Luoqing had just left. He was afraid that Lin Fei would feel strange and uncomfortable in this place now that his only blood relative was gone. Therefore, he specifically wanted to get closer to Lin Fei and do what Lin Luoqing did before.

Ji Leyu saw that Ji Yuxiao was going to send him to school and quickly said, “I can go to school by myself. Dad, go back and rest. You don’t need to send me.”

Lin Fei agreed. “Yes.”

However, Ji Yuxiao didn’t listen to them. He patted the seat next to him and urged them, “Come up. Be careful you aren’t late.”

Ji Leyu and Lin Fei got into the car and sat down beside him.

Ji Leyu leaned against him and asked softly, “Dad, why did you suddenly want to send us off?”

“It has been a long time since I’ve seen you off. I happen to have nothing to do today, so I will send you and Fei Fei off.”

Ji Leyu smiled happily, hugged his arm and leaned against him.

Ji Yuxiao touched his head before taking Lin Fei into his arms.

Lin Fei, “……”

Okay, now Lin Fei thought that this person seemed to like hugging. It was worthy of being the person Lin Luoqing and Ji Leyu liked. They all had the same hobbies.

He inwardly sighed and leaned against Ji Yuxiao while thinking about Lin Luoqing.

Luo Jia drove the car and they arrived at Ji Leyu’s kindergarten not long after.

He looked at Ji Yuxiao and got out of the car reluctantly.

Luo Jia changed direction and drove toward Lin Fei’s school.

Lin Fei didn’t speak until they were almost at his school. Then he asked Ji Yuxiao hesitantly, “Do you have anything to do this Saturday?”

“No,” Ji Yuxiao replied to him.

Even if there was, now there was nothing!

It was rare for Lin Fei to ask him for something. There must be something wrong, so Ji Yuxiao had to agree first.

Sure enough, he heard Lin Fei ask him, “Then can you take me to a place?”

“What place?”

“A place to sell flowers.” Lin Fei cocked his head.

“Do you want to buy flowers?” Ji Yuxiao’s voice was warm. “Okay, I’ll take you there.”

Lin Fei nodded, his tone sincere. “Thank you.”

“You’re welcome.” Ji Yuxiao touched his head. “I am your uncle. You can tell me anything you want, just like you tell your uncle.”

Lin Fei looked at him without nodding or shaking his head.

He didn’t reject Ji Yuxiao in his heart. In fact, he respected and liked someone like Ji Yuxiao, who looked very powerful. Yet in the end, the two of them didn’t spend much time together. Lin Fei still felt a bit awkward with him, let alone treat him like Lin Luoqing.

He was thinking about how to answer Ji Yuxiao’s words when he suddenly heard Luo Jia saying, “We’re here.”

Lin Fei quickly picked up his bag and said, “I’m going first. Bye.”

“Bye bye.” Ji Yuxiao waved at him.

Lin Fei ran two steps. Then he remembered that he hadn’t replied to Ji Yuxiao, so he turned back and opened the car door again.

Ji Yuxiao was puzzled. “Did something drop?”

Lin Fei shook his head before telling this person, “Thank you.”

Regardless of whether he could do it or not, he should first thank Ji Yuxiao because Ji Yuxiao was very concerned about him.

From the first time Lin Fei saw Ji Yuxiao, he could feel the kindness the other person showed him.

They weren’t blood related and didn’t know each other before, but Ji Yuxiao always treated him seriously and well.

Lin Fei felt it, so regardless of whether he could get close to Ji Yuxiao like Lin Luoqing, he should still thank Ji Yuxiao for his attitude.

Everyone thought that Lin Fei was still young and didn’t know anything. It didn’t matter if they were good or bad to him. But how could he not understand it?

He just didn’t bother to say it.

Once he finished talking to Ji Yuxiao, he turned around again and ran toward the school gate.

Ji Yuxiao watched him running quickly, brown bag straps fluttering freely in the wind. Then a smile appeared on Ji Yuxiao’s face.

He really was a gentle and sensible child.

Luo Jia glanced at him in the rearview mirror. “You are quite fond of this child.”

“His uncle went to filming and it is the first time he is alone with me. I have to pay attention to him.”

“Then are you paying attention to the child or the child’s uncle?”

Ji Yuxiao leaned back against the chair and asked calmly, “Can’t I pay attention to both?”

Luo Jia laughed, started the car and sent him home.

Lin Luoqing finally got up at this time. He changed his clothes and went to the scene of the opening ceremony.

He lit incense with Li Hanhai and the director before starting to prepare for the shooting of the official announcement poster.

This was the first time he was appearing in front of netizens with the image of Meng Hua, so Wu Xinyuan paid special attention to it. He was afraid the makeup artist wouldn’t do a good job or the photographer wouldn’t take good photos, resulting in a bad first impression with netizens.

After all, Lin Luoqing’s acting skills were unknown so appearance was more important.

He stood next to Lin Luoqing, watching the makeup artist delicately draw his eyebrows and eyeliner. Then he quietly looked at the male lead. As the male lead, there was always an exclusive makeup artist.

No, Li Hanhai sent away the makeup artist assigned to him by the crew and only let the makeup artist he brought with him apply makeup to him.

The makeup artist who was dismissed fell into Lin Luoqing’s hands.

Wu Xinyuan was afraid she would be uncomfortable and not serious about putting on Lin Luoqing’s makeup, so he secretly observed her.

‘This is right,’ Wu Xinyuan secretly commented. The eyebrows, eyeliner and eyelashes all matched well. Lin Luoqing didn’t fall behind the male lead at all and there was no perfunctory feeling. This makeup artist was still very responsible.

He was satisfied but Lin Luoqing opened his eyes and was dissatisfied.

He looked at his dark eyes and blinked and blinked again. Finally, he suggested to the makeup artist, “Can you wipe off the eye makeup?”

“Do you want to wipe it off?” The makeup artist gave him a reminder. “It might look too obvious now, but the camera will eat makeup. It isn’t so obvious on camera. All the actors I followed before have asked me for eye makeup to make themselves look more delicate.”

“Thank you for your kindness but I don’t think that is right,” Lin Luoqing said calmly. “Meng Hua is a student who just entered university, not 17 or 18 years old. This eye makeup doesn’t make me look like a university student and it doesn’t fit the character setting.”

“Why are you so honest?” The makeup artist smiled and poured some makeup remover. “You are a rookie actor, right? I was wondering why I haven’t seen you before. How smart are the current actors? They know they can attract fans with their faces so they require themselves to be beautiful when acting. Some look even more exquisite than girls. You are a new actor and you are just starting your acting career, yet you are thinking about conforming to your character.”

Lin Luoqing listened to her words and laughed.

He was no longer a newcomer and he naturally knew that her words were right. The current actors weren’t filming to act in a good work, but to become stars.

Since it was to become a star, it was natural to dress up beautifully in the drama. How else could they attract fans?

Thus, the appearance not suiting the character really wasn’t important to them.

However, Lin Luoqing still hoped that he could act well.

He had a love for acting, or else he wouldn’t have insisted on auditioning again and again before he transmigrated here, when he was unknown. He even went to different crews to play supporting roles.

Experiencing a character was like meeting a friend. What fun was there if every character was just like himself?

“Are you sure you want to wipe it off?” The makeup artist asked him. “If you are sure, I will help you remove your makeup. Think about it.”

Lin Luoqing nodded. “Wipe it off.”

The makeup artist took a cotton pad and wiped at his eyes.

Soon, she removed the eye makeup that she had drawn before. Lin Luoqing opened his eyes and was very satisfied when he saw his clean self in the mirror.

“Thank you,” he told the makeup artist.

“You’re welcome. It is actually easier for me to work if it is like this. Go and change your clothes. Once I see the overall effect, I’ll see if I need to adjust anything.”

“Okay.” Lin Luoqing stood up and went to the dressing room next door to change clothes.

Meng Hua was Meng Tao’s younger brother and had just entered university. Therefore, the costume designers gave him mainly white and blue looks.

The moment Lin Luoqing walked in, Teacher Liu’s assistant, who was in charge of styling, helped him choose a white sweater, light blue jeans and a pair of white sneakers.

Lin Luoqing finished changing and the assistant helped him tidy it up. Then he returned to the makeup artist.

The makeup artist looked at him with momentary amazement in her eyes.

She felt that Lin Luoqing’s words were right. As a young and handsome university student, Meng Hua didn’t need any other makeup at all. Vitality was his most powerful weapon. He just needed to stand there in a refreshing and clean manner, like a narcissus that hadn’t bloomed yet. This was enough.

“Come here.” The makeup artist said while asking her assistant to turn on the curler.

Lin Luoqing didn’t know the reason, so the makeup artist said softly, “I will make a style for you. Don’t worry, it isn’t a heavy style. Your role should be more sunny and clean. You are too well-behaved like this, so I will add some vitality to you.”

Lin Luoqing didn’t understand very well but sat down cooperatively. Yes.”

The makeup artist waited a while. Then she saw that the curler was hot and started to style him.

She did it very patiently and meticulously. She wasn’t impatient at all about the fact that Lin Luoqing had no popularity at this time.

The styling finally finished and she happily sprayed him with styling spray, saying with satisfaction, “It is done.”

Lin Luoqing looked at his hairstyle in the mirror. He felt that sometimes money had to be earned by others.

For example, he couldn’t tell that his current hairstyle was a man-made hairstyle at all. It was too natural and like his hair had always been like this.

He didn’t know how the makeup artist did it. His hair seemed to be slightly lifted in a few places but the curl wasn’t obvious. It added a bit of a youthful spirit to him.

Other places seemed unintentional but were actually carefully arranged on top of other strands of hair. This further set off his clear and beautiful eyebrows and eyes. They became a bit more flamboyant.

Lin Luoqing gave her a thumbs up in admiration. “It is amazing. Teacher, your hands are the real hands. My hands are like a fake pair of hands compared to yours.”

Even Wu Xinyuan couldn’t help nodding. This was indeed much better looking than before. More importantly, Lin Luoqing’s temperament completely changed after doing this. He was obviously a gentle and restrained young man before entering this dressing room, but now he had become a bright and flamboyant student.

The makeup artist listened to his praise and was a bit proud and happy. “Don’t call me Teacher, just call me Amy. It is because you are so handsome and willing to fit the character that there can be the current effect.”

She finished speaking and smiled at Lin Luoqing. She was obviously very happy.

She wasn’t a big-name makeup artist and she didn’t have the right to speak. Every time she went to do styling for actors, they would always reject her ideas, even though she had studied the contours of the actors’ faces and the character of the role in advance to think of an appropriate style.

It was just like Li Hanhai in the crew this time. He was very popular and had his own fixed makeup. He also brought his special makeup artist with him and didn’t think Amy could do his hair and makeup well.

Amy understood, so after being rejected by Li Hanhai, she didn’t have any complaints about being assigned to Luoqing. She just wanted to do her work well.

She thought that since everyone liked the current fixed makeup, she would do it according to the style that actors these days liked. Wasn’t it the same full makeup look as an idol performing on stage? She could also do this. She didn’t expect Lin Luoqing to refuse it.

He clearly looked good in that style, but he didn’t think it fit the character design so he didn’t like it.

Amy was surprised and thought he was honest.

However, the fact that he was honest made Amy have some good feelings for him. She was willing to cooperate with him within her abilities.

She quickly figured out a suitable hairstyle, which was more suitable for Meng Hua’s young and flamboyant personality.

Sure enough, Lin Luoqing was satisfied.

Amy was really looking forward to his look in the poster when the time came. Netizens would definitely find such a handsome newcomer very surprising. In particular, he looked so young now and was almost the same as a student who just finished the university entrance examination. She guessed that everyone would really think he was only 17 or 18 years old.

Amy felt she could already see the comments under the official Weibo post at that time. She was really looking forward to it!
