Chapter 140

As the filming of *Life Events* neared its end,

the first snow finally arrived, fashionably late.

After wrapping up today's shoot, Lu Xuan headed home with Su Yao.

Su Yao stretched her hand out of the car window, catching a snowflake.

It felt icy cold.

The snowflake barely touched her skin before melting into a drop of water.

"This year's snow is a bit later than usual."

"Aren't you cold?"

"Not cold ~ I just think it's so beautiful!"

Su Yao watched the snowflakes dance.

The light in her eyes was brighter than the streetlights.

She loved the snow.

But in Lu Xuan's eyes, Su Yao was even more captivating than the snowy scenery.

"Yeah, it's really beautiful."

She looks at the snow, I look at her.

The snowy scenery is beautiful,

but not as beautiful as her slightest smile!

"Hoo--"

It wasn't until Su Yao breathed out a long, cold breath,

her delicate nose turning white with a hint of red from the cold,

that Lu Xuan snapped back to reality.

He grabbed Su Yao's hand.

Rubbing it between his palms.

Only letting go with satisfaction when it was warm again.

Then he covered Su Yao's ears with his hands, a deep warmth flowing from his palms into the depths of Su Yao's heart.

Su Yao turned her head to look at Lu Xuan.

So gentle.

"Thank you, my Lu Bao~"

Lu Xuan would remember that smile for the rest of his life.

He returned her smile: "Just consider it repayment for your feeding me."

Then Lu Xuan lifted his thick clothes.

Revealing his 'eight-pack turned six-pack' abs.

The bottom two were hidden by fat.

Su Yao blinked her eyes, like an elf in winter.

Defending herself, she said: "Nonsense!"

"You're just greedy yourself, don't blame others for feeding you."

Acting was very hard.

Lu Xuan also paid particular attention to the quality of the film.

Running around doing everything.

Not only did he have to be the lead actor, but he also had to moonlight as a director, keeping him extremely busy.

Even when eating, he would only take a couple of bites before stopping.

And rushing off to continue filming.

In less than a month, Lu Xuan lost a full ten pounds.

Su Yao saw it all and felt pain in her heart.

So she started waking up an hour early every day.

To prepare various nourishing dishes for Lu Xuan.

She would sit next to Lu Xuan every meal, watching him eat.

If he didn't finish, she would glare at him with a 'death stare'.

Only letting him go after Lu Xuan finished eating.

Later, Lu Xuan got used to it, and Su Yao stopped staring.

She would help handle various matters for the crew.

Constantly growing, while also helping Lu Xuan in any way she could.

Lu Xuan saw it all and was moved in his heart.

Even Li Xuejian praised her.

"What a virtuous wife!"

Lu Xuan complained gloomily: "I've been fattened up by her."

Faced with such humblebragging,

the crew members attacked him en masse.

"Never have I seen such a shameless person!"

Especially the single men were the most contemptuous.

"Truly, he doesn't know how good he has it."

Li Hao would raise a finger at Lu Xuan every time he saw him.

"F**k!"

Even though it was an insult, Lu Xuan enjoyed it very much, looking at him with a smile.

This is what true friendship is all about.

Seeing Su Yao's weak defense,

Lu Xuan didn't retort.

Instead, he put down his clothes and looked at Su Yao's pretty face.

And said seriously.

"It's all because you cook so well."

"I'm in charge of the New Year's Eve dinner this year!"

"I have to let you taste my cooking."

Su Yao chuckled: "Then make noodles for me, I love noodles the most."

"No problem."

Lu Xuan knew that Su Yao liked to eat noodles.

So he secretly learned how to make several kinds of noodles from Teacher Li Xuejian.

He could show off his skills during the New Year.

The next day, the city was snowed in.

Overnight, the earth was covered in silver.

Seeing that the New Year was approaching, Lu Xuan discussed it with Li Hao.

And gathered everyone in the crew together.

Lu Xuan said, "Li and I just discussed it. The New Year is coming soon. Let's work harder these next few days and try to finish filming before the New Year."

"Anyway, there are not many shots left."

"When it's done, everyone can go home for the New Year."

"And I also have gifts for everyone."

Since the two directors had said so, naturally no one else objected.

They also wanted to finish work quickly and go home for the New Year.

"Let's try not to work overtime!"

"No overtime!"

Many of the crew members were from out of town.

Naturally, they were eager to go home.

Not to mention that Lu Xuan had gifts for everyone.

So the crew worked together with a common purpose, and the overall efficiency was extremely high!

Their efforts were not in vain.

Finally, on the day before New Year's Eve,

Lu Xuan and Li Hao jointly announced.

"*Life Events* is wrapped up!"

Everyone cheered from the bottom of their hearts.

"We can go home for the reunion dinner!"

They were not only happy about finishing the filming of the movie, but also about being able to go home for the New Year.

Although *Life Events* was not a big production,

everyone got their due.

This year was bound to be a good year.

After the crew finished work, everyone gathered together.

The wrap-up party was bustling with excitement!

Because Xiao Qun Qun was the other protagonist of the movie,

Lu Xuan, as usual, turned the 'wine party' into a 'milk party'.

Everyone made friends with milk!

Many people who had never experienced it before exclaimed how interesting it was.

Li Xuejian watched everyone with a smile on his face.

In his many years in the industry, he had only seen such a scene in Lu Xuan's crew.

Although Xiao Qun Qun was a child,

she was also one of the main actors.

So Lu Xuan didn't ignore her, but instead used milk instead of wine.

It was truly a brilliant idea.

However, not everyone liked to drink milk.

Some people also secretly drank alcohol.

Lu Xuan didn't get angry when he saw it, and toasted the other person with a glass of milk, and the other person returned the toast with a glass of alcohol.

Everyone talked happily.

As time passed, people gradually left.

Before leaving, they would come over and say goodbye to Lu Xuan.

"Director Lu, it's an honor to be able to participate in your movie."

"If there's a chance, let's work together again."

"I hope the movie is a hit!"

"Director Lu, Happy New Year!"

Lu Xuan responded to each of them.

"Happy New Year!"

And left their contact information.

These people had good acting skills and professionalism, so they could continue to cooperate in the future.

After a while, only a few people remained.

Xiao Qun Qun was already hiccuping from drinking.

Seeing this, Lu Xuan decided to end the wrap-up party.

"It's getting late, everyone get ready and go home for the New Year."

"Okay!"

"Happy New Year."

Those few people also left.

Before leaving, Lu Xuan gave everyone who came a big red envelope.

Li Xuejian was the last to leave.

He pulled Lu Xuan aside and gave him some instructions.

Then Lu Xuan asked Li Hao to send his teacher back.

In the end, only Lu Xuan, Su Yao, and Xu Lan and her daughter were left.

Xiao Qun Qun wiped her mouth and ran into Lu Xuan's arms.

"Uncle Lu, hug~"

"Okay, okay."

Lu Xuan picked her up.

And affectionately stroked her little nose.

During the filming of the movie, his relationship with Xiao Qun Qun became closer and closer.

Xiao Qun Qun really treated Lu Xuan like her father.

Just like the relationship between 'Mo Sanmei' and 'Wu Xiaowen' in the play.

Seeing this, Xu Lan no longer hesitated.

And said an idea from her heart.

"Teacher Xu,"

"Why don't... you become Qun Qun's godfather?"

Lu Xuan: "......"
