FV: Chapter 68

Yao Momo made an appointment and left.

It just so happened that the makeup artist in charge of Su Ying and Wu Jia had finished doing Su Ying’s makeup. The artist called Wu Jia to ask her to come back.

Wu Jia hung up the phone. Then she saw Amy coming and thought that Lin Luoqing also had to do his makeup. Thus, she made an appointment with Lin Luoqing for a new time and went back to do makeup.

Lin Hanhai thought, ‘…Oh my god, what is this? Do I have to make an appointment to practice with Lin Luoqing now?’

He didn’t have such treatment as the male lead!

Li Hanhai thought about it. Yao Momo and Wu Jia had made appointments. Then wouldn’t he rank third in the appointments now?

He was the male lead!

Was this appropriate?

Was this reasonable?

He was just thinking this when Zhang Quan came out. He met Lin Luoqing, greeted him and asked, “Did you practice with Wu Jia just now?”

“Yes.” Lin Luoqing nodded.

Zhang Quan said smoothly, “Then let’s practice later. I remember that we also have a rivalry scene in the next two days, right?”

Li Hanhai, “???”

Wasn’t this jumping in line?

He had been third!

“Yes.” Lin Luoqing had no objection.

Li Hanhai thought, ‘…You are okay with it?’

Yes?

Lin Luoqing didn’t notice Li Hanhai far away, let alone know that he had such rich mental activities in his heart.

As an actor, it was good for everyone to go through the scene with the opposing actor in advance before filming. Therefore, he replied without any burdens, “Then I’ll send you a WeChat message when the time comes.”

“Yes.” Zhang Quan obviously didn’t know how competitive the crew had become now and left without doing anything else. He just waited for Lin Luoqing to finish the styling and contact him.

Li Hanhai, “……”

So in this situation, should he cut in line?

He was obviously the third one to come!

Now he seemed to have become the so-called Little Four!

He walked over quickly. Amy followed him and they arrived in front of Lin Luoqing with a few steps.

It was only then that Lin Luoqing noticed Amy and Li Hanhai next to her. Li Hanhai had changed his style. His eye makeup wasn’t as obvious as before. The bottom eyeliner was removed and the eye shape had become sharper.

There were a few simple adjustments to his fringe. His fringe seemed casual but was actually deliberately fixed. Some parts of the fringe were swept away to the side, revealing part of his forehead and his heroic eyebrows. With the sharp eyes, it added an untamed air to his temperament. This gave people a feeling of aloofness and rebellion.

There was a bit of the feeling of Sun Zheng from the novel.

“Hello, Brother Hai,” Lin Luoqing greeted him politely.

Li Hanhai let out a faint hum and looked very cold.

Amy was much more excited than him and said directly, “I talked to Brother Hai and he agreed that I could do styling for you as well.”

Wu Xinyuan saw Li Hanhai and Amy coming together and thought Li Hanhai was coming to pressure and tell Lin Luoqing that Amy was already his stylist, asking him to change stylists.

He guessed that Li Hanhai would prepare to say some polite words similar to an apology so he specially prepared some words in his heart for this.

Unexpectedly, Li Hanhai actually agreed?!

Was he so generous?

It was incredible!

Lin Luoqing also hadn’t expected it. When Amy left, he assumed she wouldn’t be able to come back. This wasn’t something she could solve just because she wanted to. As the male lead, Li Hanhai wouldn’t agree at all.

He had been mixed in with crews as a supporting role or inconspicuous role. Therefore, he knew better the status of the male and female leads in the crew and their uniqueness about some things.

It was just like Yao Momo. She looked gentle and sweet, spoke softly and was very polite to people, but Yao Momo’s makeup artist was only responsible for her.

Su Ying and Wu Jia shared a makeup artist. Yao Momo’s makeup artist’s assistant could be lent to Su Ying and Wu Jia’s makeup artist if she was too busy. However, Yao Momo wouldn’t share a makeup artist with them, let alone let her makeup artist help them.

This was the right of the leads.

Time was precious and the leads’ makeup artist must free up time for them throughout the process, in order to do touch ups and change the makeup when the leads needed it. As for whether the others were busy or not or whether they needed a good style, this wasn’t something for the leads to think about.

Therefore, Li Hanhai must not be willing to share a makeup artist with him.

Unexpectedly, he actually agreed.

Lin Luoqing was pleasantly surprised and ashamed. It was as if he had a villain’s heart below the appearance of a gentleman and looked down on the other person.

He shouldn’t be like this.

“Thank you,” he said sincerely.

“You’re welcome.” Li Hanhai smiled. “The source of this matter is me. If I hadn’t rejected Amy first and then asked her to come back, the two of you wouldn’t have faced this situation. In the future, I will do the styling according to the time on the schedule. If my scene is first, I will do my styling first and vice versa. It should be possible to divide.”

“Yes,” Lin Luoqing replied again.

“Then you go for styling.”

Li Hanhai deliberately pretended to be casual and careless. “Afterwards, we can practice against each other.”

Lin Luoqing was about to agree. Then he suddenly remembered that his previous appointment with Yao Momo seemed to be in this time period, so he said in embarrassment, “This… Brother Hai, Sister Yao asked me to go and act against her after I finish the styling.”

Li Hanhai, “……”

Lin Luoqing saw that he didn’t speak and felt even more guilty. “Or shall I go right to you after I finish with Sister Yao?”

He remembered that his scene with Yao Momo was in the morning and his scene with Li Hanhai was in the afternoon. There was enough time!

“It just so happens that my scene with you is in the afternoon so there is more time.”

Li Hanhai nodded with a look of reluctance. “Okay.”

Meanwhile, he quietly sighed with relief. He successfully cut ahead in the queue; yay!

Li Hanhai successfully made the appointment and went back. He could only wait for Lin Luoqing and Yao Momo to finish acting before coming to learn.

Lin Luoqing also sighed with relief and thought that Li Hanhai was too easy to talk to. He didn’t have the arrogance of a popular idol at all.

Seeing that the matter was settled, Amy immediately urged him to go into the dressing room and started to put on makeup for him.

By the time Lin Luoqing’s makeup was completed, Yao Momo had already silently memorized the lines of the scene between herself and Lin Luoqing.

She waited a while before Lin Luoqing arrived on the set.

Yao Momo immediately greeted him with a smile, “Mr Lin, you have finished your makeup.”

“Yes.”

“I’m done memorizing my lines.” She looked energetic. “Filming hasn’t started, so let’s try to go through it. This way, we can pass early when it comes time to film.”

In any case, the acting skills of her and Li Hanhai were similar. The director wanted to call out ‘cut’ to both of them and she didn’t care. She wasn’t anxious about acting against Li Hanhai. She was more afraid of acting against Lin Luoqing. Director Zhang’s ‘cut cut cut’ was aimed at her alone and it was as if she dragged down Lin Luoqing.

It was too embarrassing and awkward.

Lin Luoqing nodded. “Okay.”

Then he and Yao Momo rehearsed the scene to be filmed in the morning.

Zhang Quan waited a long time but Lin Luoqing didn’t come to him. Therefore, he sent a WeChat message to ask Lin Luoqing: [Xiao Lin, you haven’t finished your makeup yet?]

However, Lin Luoqing didn’t reply to him.

Was he busy?

He was just thinking this when he looked up and saw Lin Luoqing talking to Yao Momo not far away.

He walked over and found that Lin Luoqing seemed to be acting against Yao Momo.

The tone of Yao Momo’s lines was too soft and her expression wasn’t vivid enough. Lin Luoqing stopped to correct her from time to time. Yao Momo listened, nodded and noted down the key points in the script from time to time. It was similar to a student listening to the key points in an exam.

Zhang Quan thought it was quite interesting and asked Wu Xinyuan, who was standing on the side, “How long has Xiao Lin and Teacher Yao been at it? He has to finish rehearsing with Teacher Yao before it can be my turn.”

Wu Xinyuan, “……”

How to put it?

But… it didn’t seem to be his turn…

“It might be a while? Once Teacher Yao’s side is over, it is Teacher Li’s turn. He just said to find him after Luoqing and Teacher Yao finish the scene. The two of them have a scene together in the afternoon.”

Zhang Quan nodded. “Okay.”

Li Hanhai was the male lead and was a privileged person.

“Then I’ll come to him once he and Teacher Li are finished.”

“Then you might have to wait…” Wu Xinyuan said helplessly.

Zhang Quan, “???”

“Once Teacher Li is finished, it is Teacher Wu’s turn. She asked very early. This morning when you were putting on makeup, the two of them had to go do their makeup before they finished the rehearsal. Therefore, they made an appointment to continue after the makeup was over.”

Zhang Quan, “……”

This… was Xiao Lin so sought after?

Zhang Quan looked at Lin Luoqing, who was patiently teaching Yao Momo how to speak her lines and act. He was almost teaching her hand-in-hand. He read a sentence by himself and let Yao Momo read the sentence. Then he gave her kind encouragement, like a tutor teaching elementary school students.

Patience, gentleness and seriousness at no cost, it was no wonder why he was popular!

Zhang Quan remembered Director Zhang’s praise of Lin Luoqing on the set and said without hesitation, “Then I’ll come back after Wu Jia is finished.”

He couldn’t cut in line, so he could only sign up first.

However, he hadn’t enjoyed the small class teaching yet. He wondered if Mr Lin would be so serious with him at that time.

Still, he should be better than Yao Momo in acting. He definitely wasn’t an elementary school student. He must be at least a middle school student!

Zhang Quan was full of confidence and left after making the appointment.

At the same time, Lin Fei knocked on the door of Ji Yuxiao’s study after some hesitation.

Ji Yuxiao was on the phone when he heard a knock at the door. He called for the person to come in and saw the door open. Lin Fei’s small head poked in through the crack in the door and tilted to look at Ji Yuxiao. He saw that Ji Yuxiao wasn’t busy so he quietly walked in.

Ji Yuxiao quickly told the other person on the phone, “I’m hanging up first.” Then he gently asked Lin Fei, “What’s wrong?”

“Did I disturb you?” Lin Fei blinked, his tone calm.

Ji Yuxiao laughed. He turned the direction of the wheelchair and pushed it to the child. “No, we were already finished. Is there anything important for you to come to me?”

Otherwise, Lin Fei wouldn’t have come to his study easily.

Lin Fei hesitated for a moment before reminding the other person, “It is time to go buy flowers today.”

Ji Yuxiao naturally remembered this matter. He just hadn’t expected Lin Fei to be so proactive about it. He wanted to wait for the two children to finish their naps after lunch before taking them out. This way, they could have dinner outside.

Unexpectedly, Lin Fei came to him so early.

“Yes,” Ji Yuxiao said with a smile. “Then shall we go together after lunch?”

Lin Fei nodded obediently. “Thank you.”

“Why are you so polite to me?” Ji Yuxiao teased him. “Are you also so polite with your uncle?”

Lin Fei, “……”

He wanted to be polite but Lin Luoqing didn’t allow it.

“Right?” Ji Yuxiao patted his head. “So you don’t have to be so polite with me.”

Lin Fei looked at him and thought about it. He was afraid that if he didn’t agree, Ji Yuxiao would feel that Lin Fei didn’t like him and would become jealous. Therefore, Lin Fei said in a low voice, “Okay.”

“Then let’s go eat first and then we will go buy the flowers.”

“Yes.”

Ji Yuxiao looked at his watch. He felt it was almost time for lunch and left the study with Lin Fei.

They went to Ji Leyu’s bedroom and called him.

Ji Leyu was lying on the bed and watching a cartoon on his tablet. Ji Yuxiao was worried about his eyes and lectured him, “Next time, you aren’t allowed to play with the tablet in bed.”

“Yes,” Ji Leyu agreed quickly.

He lifted the quilt and sat up. He got out of bed and looked at Lin Fei and Ji Yuxiao. “Why did the two of you come in together?”

“Fei Fei came to the study just now to find me. We are going to eat so we stopped by to call you.”

Ji Leyu was puzzled. “Why was he looking for you?”

He looked at Lin Fei. Could it be that the two of them had a little secret behind his back?

How could this work?

“Fei Fei wants to go shopping for flowers with me later. Do you want to come as well?”

“Buy flowers?” Ji Leyu was even more puzzled. “Aren’t there flowers in the yard? What flowers does he want to buy?”

“I don’t know.”

Ji Leyu looked at Lin Fei.

Lin Fei was silent.

“Then I’ll go too,” Ji Leyu said. He would go and see what flowers Lin Fei wanted to buy.

It wouldn’t be a cactus again, right?

Then who was he going to give it to this time?

Ji Leyu wasn’t happy. Why was Lin Fei still secretly giving flowers to others behind his back?

It was the same cactus as his!

What was this?!

He glared at Lin Fei in a huff.

Lin Fei, “……”

Lin Fei felt this person was starting to be childish again.

Ji Yuxiao saw his pouting appearance and smiled.

He raised his hand and poked Ji Leyu’s puffed out cheeks. “Now you are more like a small fish.”

Ji Leyu, “???”

“A small fish with bulging cheeks that is spitting bubbles.”

Ji Leyu, “……”

Lin Fei smiled a bit after hearing this. He felt it was quite right.

It was fortunate that Ji Leyu didn’t know how to blow bubbles or he would probably be able to fill a room with bubbles.

Lin Fei thought of the scene where he filled a room with bubbles and found it quite interesting.

Ji Leyu didn’t find it interesting. He was unwilling that Lin Fei wanted to secretly send cacti to others. It was also done behind his back without telling him.

So when they were washing their hands before eating, he pulled Lin Fei to go to the bathroom together.

Ji Yuxiao didn’t know what he was thinking at all. He just felt that the children were cute. They had to hold hands and go together when washing their hands. It was too cute.

Little did he know that his cute little nephew was standing in front of the sink and looking at Lin Fei with a questioning appearance. “Who are you going to buy flowers for?”

Lin Fei calmly turned the tap and reached out to wash his hands.

Ji Leyu was dissatisfied. “Why aren’t you telling me? You are sneaking around behind my back!”

Lin Fei, “……”

“I’m not sneaking.”

He was obviously very upright and told Ji Yuxiao.

“If you don’t tell me then you are sneaking around.” Ji Leyu was righteous. “You can’t give flowers to others! You can’t give a cactus to others!”

Lin Fei, “……”

Lin Fei squeezed the hand sanitizer and reminded him, “You should wash your hands.”

“Then you promise me first.”

Lin Fei turned to look at him. “No.”

Ji Leyu was so angry that he puffed out his cheeks again.

Lin Fei washed the foam from his hands and poked Ji Leyu’s face like Ji Yuxiao did just now. It was very tender and soft when poked.

Ji Leyu turned his head away, avoiding Lin Fei’s hand and stopping him from poking it.

“In any case, you aren’t allowed!” His eyes were stubborn. “You can’t give me a cactus and then give it to someone else. I won’t allow it!”

Lin Fei thought that he was too overbearing.

“I am the one giving it, not you.”

“So you really plan to give it to someone else?” Ji Leyu frowned instantly. “No way!”

He puffed up. “Who do you want to give it to? There is no way!”

Very good. Now in addition to being hypocritical, cunning, duplicitous, cruel and liking to eavesdrop, he was also particularly domineering.

How many shortcomings did he have that Lin Fei still didn’t know about?

Lin Fei’s eyes showed 30% surprise, 30% curiosity and 40% helplessness. “It is for my uncle.”

“I haven’t given him a gift yet.”

Ji Leyu was confused. ‘??? Eh?’

“You haven’t given your uncle a gift?”

“Yes.”

Ji Leyu instantly felt that he was standing more upright. He looked at Lin Fei in disgust and seemed proud. “I sent it to my uncle. I have sent a lot. My uncle loved the gifts I gave him.”

Lin Fei, “……”

Lin Fei couldn’t accept being despised by Ji Leyu, so he turned and walked out.

Ji Leyu chased after him with a smile. “How come you don’t know how to give gifts to your uncle? It seems that you haven’t read too many books. You have to read more, understood?”

Lin Fei, “……”

What type of face did Ji Leyu have to say such things to him?

Obviously, Ji Leyu was the one who needed to read more!

Lin Fei turned around and raised a hand to pinch Ji Leyu’s face. He pulled it outward and shook this white and tender little face. “Shut up.”

Ji Leyu wasn’t annoyed and smiled, as bright as a freshly baked fruit candy wrapped in honey.

Lin Fei pinched him enough and let go.

Ji Leyu’s face instantly turned pink, making him more delicate and beautiful. He was like a rose dyed with the morning glow.

Seeing that he had stopped talking, Lin Fei wanted to go to the dining room. He had just turned around when he was stopped by Ji Leyu.

He pulled Lin Fei’s arm, his eyes shining as he asked with joy and anticipation, “Am I the first person you gave a gift to?”
