Chapter 119

"..."

Lu Xuan blinked.

Li Lao's temper was indeed explosive; no wonder he argued with Li Hao every time they met.

"Little Lu."

"Yes!"

Li Lao looked at Lu Xuan, who immediately straightened his back.

Like a model student.

"When can you finish the script? Any of them will do."

Lu Xuan thought for a moment.

"Probably about a year."

A good script really needed careful polishing.

Especially scripts of this kind, which required extra attention to detail.

Li Lao nodded understandingly.

"That's fine; I also need some time to make arrangements."

"How about this? Contact me or Lao Fei as soon as you finish the first draft."

"I'll give you my full support then!"

"It's time to make a change."

Lu Xuan agreed.

"Okay."

With these two backing him, he would have much more room to maneuver.

Li Lao and Fei Qing were also betting on Lu Xuan.

Whether it would bear fruit in the future...

Depended entirely on whether Lu Xuan would disappoint them.

"Alright, alright, time to eat."

After discussing serious matters, Fei Qing began to prepare dinner.

The two old men had very regular eating habits.

They got hungry on time and went to bed on time.

An aunt in her forties took care of the two elders.

The aunt wanted to prepare the fish.

Lu Xuan quickly stepped forward.

"Aunt Wang, let me do it."

"Okay!"

Aunt Wang didn't stand on ceremony with Lu Xuan and made room for him to work.

Su Yao came in to help.

Working with Lu Xuan, they started to prepare the fish.

Before long, the fragrant smell of fish soup wafted from the kitchen.

Outside, Fei Qing and Li Lao exchanged glances.

"There aren't many young people who know how to cook these days."

"Yes, they're both good kids!"

"Better than Xiao Hao..."

The two exchanged another look and burst out laughing.

Soon, the dishes were on the table.

Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the meal.

Lu Xuan's fish greatly pleased the two old men!

"Come on! Little Lu, have a drink with me!"

Li Lao insisted on having a drink with Lu Xuan, but Fei Qing glared and refused to allow it.

"If you dare drink, I'll tell Xiao Hao."

"He'll annoy you to death!"

"Alright, alright, I won't drink!"

Li Lao had no choice but to give up.

He took a big gulp of fish soup in frustration.

Seeing Lu Xuan looking over, Fei Qing explained.

"He has a liver problem; the doctor won't let him drink."

Lu Xuan nodded understandingly.

Su Yao looked left and right at the two old men, then whispered in Lu Xuan's ear.

"I feel like these two old men..."

"Have a strange sense of CP (couple pairing), don't you think?"

"Pfft—"

Lu Xuan almost spat out his food.

He also looked left and right.

Then nodded silently, "I feel it too."

Whenever Li Lao lost his temper, Fei Qing could always calm him down.

These two old friends had been through who knows how many glorious years together.

This was true friendship.

"When Gun'er-ge (brother) and I get old, we'll definitely be the same!"

Lu Xuan thought to himself.

After the meal, Lu Xuan's relationship with the two old men grew even closer.

Fei Lao wanted Lu Xuan to stay the night.

So they could have a good chat the next day.

Lu Xuan apologized and declined.

"I can't, Fei Lao. The movie is about to be released, and I need to go back and keep an eye on things."

Fei Lao didn't press him.

He smiled kindly, "Alright, we'll chat again when you come back."

Before leaving, Li Lao also called out.

"Come often!"

"Okay!"

Lu Xuan and Su Yao didn't get home until very late that night.

Aunt Liu was already asleep.

She was very relieved that Lu Xuan was taking care of Su Yao.

"Ah~"

Lu Xuan yawned sleepily.

He glanced at the time; it was already past midnight.

He waved goodbye and said goodnight to Su Yao before returning to his room.

"Good night."

"Ha~ Good night!"

Su Yao mirrored Lu Xuan's actions, tears welling up in her sleepy eyes.

She yawned and followed behind Lu Xuan.

Thump—

Then she bumped into Lu Xuan's back.

"What are you doing?"

Lu Xuan turned back to look at her and asked.

"I was just about to ask you what you're doing. Are you planning on sleeping on the floor in my room again?"

Su Yao looked up, her eyes bleary with sleep.

She rubbed her eyes and asked.

"Can I sleep in the bed?"

"...No!"

Lu Xuan refused directly.

It wasn't that he was scared or didn't have any ideas.

It was that Aunt Liu had talked to him about this, so Lu Xuan wasn't in a hurry.

As long as he could be with Su Yao, that was enough.

First love shouldn't be rushed!

"Okay."

Su Yao wasn't disappointed at all and turned to go upstairs.

She knew about Aunt Liu's conversation with Lu Xuan.

She was just asking as part of her daily routine.

There was plenty of time, one question a day.

"Then can we sleep together tomorrow?"

"...Get lost!"

"Okay! Good night, Lu Bao (Lu treasure), see you tomorrow."

"Yeah."

Su Yao ran quickly upstairs.

The night passed peacefully.

The next morning, Lu Xuan was woken up early by Su Yao to go see a movie.

"Although I know you made a very good film."

"You still need to understand the market and respect your competitors!"

Lu Xuan didn't want to go, but he couldn't help it.

Because Su Yao said one thing.

"Come with me to the movies, or I'll move into your room tonight. Pick one."

Only a child would have to think about it.

Lu Xuan chose to see a movie.

He didn't want to be chased and chopped by his future mother-in-law.

"That's more like it."

"Aunt Liu! Lu Xuan and I are going to see a movie, don't wait for us!"

Su Yao took Lu Xuan's arm and went out the door.

They were wearing matching hoodie couple outfits, just like couples who filmed short videos.

They were sure to turn heads on the street!

When they arrived at the cinema, Lu Xuan was surprised that Su Yao had chosen a xianxia (fantasy) drama.

"And it's produced by Shenghua (Flourishing China)?"

"I didn't expect you to be so open-minded!"

"That's right~"

Su Yao straightened her back.

Her large breasts couldn't be concealed even by the loose hoodie, and Lu Xuan couldn't help but take a few extra glances.

Indeed, she was open-minded!

Then, Su Yao lowered her head.

Complaining with a bitter face.

"Actually, I have no choice."

"My favorite movie genre is xianxia (fantasy) dramas."

"But the only watchable ones in the country are made by Shenghua. The ones made by others are simply appalling, an eyesore!"

"Besides, I should actually thank Shenghua Entertainment."

Su Yao held Lu Xuan's left hand in both of hers.

Holding it to her chest, her smile became sweet.

"If it weren't for Shenghua, I wouldn't have met you."

"It can only be said that fate is..."

Lu Xuan continued, "Wonderful!"

"Yes, yes, yes~"

Su Yao's clear laughter rang out in the air, and Lu Xuan smiled as well.

Since Su Yao didn't mind, he naturally didn't care.

It was just a movie.

The two took their tickets and went inside together.

While watching the movie, Lu Xuan was also thinking deeply about what Su Yao had said earlier.

The domestic xianxia (fantasy) movie genre...

Was actually dominated by Shenghua?

Then, he checked the data.

He found that the most popular xianxia (fantasy) drama currently being serialized was also produced by Shenghua.

But in terms of quality...

He could only say that he dared not agree with the masses.

Xianxia (fantasy)?

Bullshit-xia!

At most, it could be considered ancient rural fantasy.

After discovering this, Lu Xuan felt somewhat moved.

"I think my perspective was too narrow before!"

"I can't just think about making romantic comedies. There are actually many fields waiting for me to explore."

"If I have time in the future..."

Thinking of this, Lu Xuan glanced at Su Yao beside him.

Perhaps it was because it was good with food.

She was currently stuffing popcorn into her mouth by the handful.

Eating happily while watching the xianxia (fantasy) on the big screen.

"I can also let Yao Yao see what true xianxia (fantasy) is!"
