Chapter 118

After eating and digesting, it was already around three in the afternoon.

Lu Xuan planned to visit the old man.

He thought for a moment, then picked up his phone.

"Gun'er Ge, does the old man usually take a nap in the afternoon?"

Li Hao's voice was very low: "Yes, but he should be awake now."

"Are you guys at his place?"

"Remember, don't bring anything, he doesn't like that."

Lu Xuan nodded: "Okay."

Then, he asked with a smile.

"Gun'er Ge, why are you whispering? What are you up to!"

"Keep your voice down!"

"Hey, hey, hey! Don't run, don't run!"

Li Hao's voice suddenly amplified.

"Damn it! The fish I was about to catch is gone, you scared it away!"

"You owe me a fish!"

Lu Xuan suddenly realized that Li Hao was fishing.

It seemed to be a recent hobby.

Good!

Better than obsessing over young girls all day.

"Ahem, I'm not taking the blame for this."

"Then I'll let you fish, Gun'er Ge, I'm hanging up!"

Before he hung up, Lu Xuan could still hear Li Hao's resentment.

"My fish! My fish!"

Su Yao curiously leaned her little head over and asked.

"What fish?"

"Why is Gun'er Ge crying so miserably?"

Ever since Lu Xuan confessed his feelings, Su Yao had changed her way of addressing him.

Officially becoming one of them.

Lu Xuan smiled and patted her head.

"He's fishing, but he's blaming me for not catching anything, what a noob."

"Indeed."

Su Yao agreed with Lu Xuan's view.

She had heard that many fishermen are unskilled but addicted.

Then, under the banner of 'fishermen never return empty-handed', they catch everything but fish.

"Let's go."

"Okay~"

The two took a taxi and headed towards the courtyard house.

On the way, Lu Xuan lowered his head and pondered.

"The old man doesn't like people bringing gifts, but we can't be impolite."

"What to do..."

"Lu Bao'er, look at this."

Su Yao, on the other hand, was looking up some fishing videos to share with Lu Xuan.

Lu Xuan glanced at it.

A person was standing on a boat fishing, looking anxious.

"Hey! That fish is just teasing you, it won't bite!"

"You can't indulge it!"

"Damn it!"

Splash—

That person threw down the fishing rod and jumped into the water to solo with the fish!

The scene was particularly comical, making Lu Xuan and Su Yao grin.

"Hopefully Gun'er Ge can stay calm."

After laughing, Lu Xuan had an idea.

"Master, is there a place to buy fish nearby?"

"Yes, there's a fresh seafood market around the corner."

"Then please take us there first."

"Alright!"

After buying the fish, Lu Xuan called Fei Qing.

An hour later, Lu Xuan knocked on the door of the courtyard with two fish in his hand.

Fei Qing opened the door.

The old man was exceptionally hale and hearty.

When he saw Lu Xuan, the old man joked.

"You said you'd be here at half past, and you're right on time!"

Lu Xuan grinned: "Of course, a person should be true to their word."

He shook the fish towards Fei Qing.

"Fei Lao, I didn't bring anything this time, if you don't mind, I'll make you two some fish later?"

The fish was salmon.

Very suitable for the elderly to eat.

Fei Qing laughed heartily: "Of course, no problem!"

"Old man Li loves to eat fish the most, he's in for a treat today~"

"Come on in."

"Okay!"

Lu Xuan walked in with the fish, Su Yao followed closely behind him.

She greeted Fei Qing obediently.

"Fei Lao, my name is Su Yao."

"You're Little Lu's girlfriend, right? So pretty! You and Little Lu are a perfect match!"

Su Yao immediately beamed with joy.

Nothing is more reassuring than the approval of elders.

Although Fei Qing was not Lu Xuan's grandfather, he was still an elder.

After entering the courtyard.

Old Man Li was pruning a *jinyu mantang* (Citrus japonica) in the yard.

The red fruits hung all over the branches, looking particularly festive.

The last time Lu Xuan came, the fruits were still green.

He heard that these fruits can hang for a full nine months!

Although inedible, they are highly ornamental.

Considered the best-looking evergreen tree in winter.

"You're here?"

Old Man Li glanced at Lu Xuan, gesturing for him to sit wherever he wanted.

Lu Xuan said, "Okay."

He took the fish into the kitchen before coming out to sit down.

Old Man Li was still pruning.

Everything must have a beginning and an end.

So, Fei Qing and Lu Xuan chatted idly.

"I heard you have a new movie coming out recently?"

"Yes, *Chao Shi Kong Tong Ju* (How Long Will I Love U), a romance."

Lu Xuan briefly explained the plot.

Fei Qing thoughtfully said: "Crossing the timeline, huh? That's a good idea."

"You young people have imagination!"

"We couldn't think of these things back then."

He praised Lu Xuan.

"Speaking of which, this is your third movie this year, right?"

"And you can still maintain such high quality, this efficiency is unprecedented!"

"Good! Good!"

The more Fei Qing looked at Lu Xuan, the more satisfied he became.

If Lu Xuan didn't already have Su Yao, he would have introduced at least two of his granddaughters to Lu Xuan.

Li Hao: I don't! Grandpa! I don't!

Looking at Lu Xuan in front of him, and then comparing him with his grand-nephew.

"Tsk..."

Fei Qing couldn't help shaking his head and sighing.

No comparison! No comparison!

However, children and grandchildren have their own blessings.

Li Hao being able to follow Lu Xuan was also his blessing.

Lu Xuan smiled and said nothing.

He and Gun'er Ge are best friends, brothers!

What he has, Li Hao will also have.

Except for a partner.

Lu Xuan chatted with Fei Qing, and Su Yao sat beside him, listening carefully.

After a while, Old Man Li finished pruning the flowers and sat down as well.

"You said you had to make a special trip."

"Wouldn't it be fine to just say it on the phone? It's not like this old man can't use a phone."

Old Man Li seemed to be blaming Lu Xuan, but in reality, he was secretly nodding at Lu Xuan's thoughtfulness.

Lu Xuan smiled: "I happened to be in Kyoto for some business, so I came over."

Old Man Li hummed.

"Then is the business done? Need any help?"

"No, no, it's already done."

"Okay."

Lu Xuan knew that Old Man Li didn't talk much, so he took the initiative to bring up a topic.

"I have some leads on the matter you mentioned last time."

"Oh? Tell me about it!"

Hearing this, Old Man Li's eyes lit up.

Bursting out with a sharp light that didn't match his age.

Making Su Yao feel a lot of pressure.

Lu Xuan sorted out his words.

"You said last time that you wanted a script about a strong nation, I have some ideas."

He talked about the general idea of the script.

Both old men listened thoughtfully.

"The idea is indeed good, but..."

Fei Qing glanced at Old Man Li and shook his head.

"But it's too difficult to achieve."

"Yeah."

Old Man Li knew what Fei Qing was worried about, he pondered for a long, long time.

Then, a firm look flashed across his face.

He slammed his hand on the table!

Thump—

"Damn it!"

"What are we afraid of! If we don't change, the domestic atmosphere will be ruined!"

"Let's do it!"

Old Man Li seemed to have made a very important decision.

Fei Qing glared at him.

"You scared me!"

Lu Xuan, Su Yao: We... we too!
