Chapter 402 A Real Birthday Gift

After coming out of the elevator, Li Luo and Xu Youyu held hands and quickly ran away from other people's sight.

Only after there was no one around did Xu Youyu pull Li Luo to stop.

Seeing Xu Youyu propped up on his knees and gasping for breath, Li Luo standing aside laughed and said, "I thought senior sister wouldn't be shy."

"How would I know you would dare to answer in that situation?" Xu Youyu hit him angrily, "It's so embarrassing."

As he spoke, Xu Youyu stood by the road, raised his hand to stop a taxi, pulled Li Luo into the car, and said to the driver: "Let's go to Bi Hai Lan Ting, thank you."

Li Luo followed him into the car. Even at night, he did not even look at the driver in front of him. He continued the previous topic with Xu Youyu: "It was someone who started it first. I just fought back a little bit."

"Humph, you are so bad."

Xu Youyu said this, but still leaned into Li Luo's arms.

Li Luo also put his arm around Xu Youyu's shoulders, and the two of them snuggled together in the back seat of the taxi.

It was not until Li Luo looked up at the rearview mirror in front of him and met the driver's eyes in the mirror that his body suddenly stiffened for a moment.

"What a coincidence." The driver obviously noticed Li Luo's gaze and said with a smile, "This is the third time we've met today."

"Yes, yes..." Li Luo heard what the driver said, and sweat immediately broke out on his back. He smiled awkwardly and said, "Master, you really work hard. Why are you still driving a taxi so late?"

"I have to support my family." The driver glanced at Li Luo in the rearview mirror and finally couldn't help but say, "Besides, I'm not as busy as you. It's hard for you to date three girls in one day."

Li Luo rubbed his nose a little embarrassedly, but Xu Youyu, who was standing next to him, asked Li Luo with great interest after listening to the conversation between the two: "The other two of the three girls that Master mentioned are Xixi and Zhusheng, right?"

"yes……"

"Little girl, do you know the other two?" The driver asked in surprise when he heard her say that.

"We all live together, so of course we know each other." Xu Youyu said with a happy smile, still holding Li Luo's arm, "He accompanied me on a date tonight, and the other two agreed to it."

Driver: “……?”

What the hell?

What do you mean by you two go out on a date and the other two agree?
So you three all know that other people are going out with this boy?

And they all live together? What the hell?

The driver was a little confused by what Xu Youyu said. He couldn't understand the logic for a moment and almost crashed his computer.

Li Luo saw the driver's expression in the rearview mirror and couldn't help but look weird. He leaned close to Xu Youyu's ear and said, "The driver's daughter is a sophomore at Qian University. Don't talk nonsense."

"You even know this?" Xu Youyu asked in surprise.

"Ahem...we chatted for a while while riding in the car during the day."

"Oh, it's okay, I was just kidding." Xu Youyu laughed softly, "We are not in Qianda right now, there is nothing to worry about."

After hearing what Xu Youyu said, Li Luo also felt that it made sense and stopped caring about it.

The driver didn't say a word for a long time after that. He just silently digested the huge amount of information in his mind.

After finally figuring out what was going on, the driver looked at Li Luo with a complicated look.

This kid...why?
When Li Luo and Xu Youyu got off the car at the gate of Bihai Lanting community, the question in the driver's mind was destined to remain unanswered.

Watching Li Luo and Xu Youyu walking hand in hand into the residential area, the driver couldn't help but sigh, thinking that he still had to say something to his daughter.

Don't let this kid fool you at school.

……

After returning to the community, Li Luo and Xu Youyu put the previous episode behind them.

Holding hands as they walked towards their building, Xu Youyu said, "We watched the movie today, what do you think about writing it into the book?"

"You can try it." Li Luo nodded and said, "Just make an outline later."

"Although 'My Girlhood' is a movie, I don't think it's suitable for Jiang Mingyue to play the role." Xu Youyu added, "Can you arrange for Shen Dongdong to try?"

Hearing this, Li Luo shook his head and said with a smile: "That's not good enough. The female lead still has to be played by Jiang Mingyue."

"Eh? Why is that?" Xu Youyu blinked in confusion, not quite understanding Li Luo's idea. He laughed and said, "Don't just want to leave the role to Jiang Mingyue because of me."

"Of course not." Li Luo shook his head and smiled, "This is about the development paths of the three heroines, so there can be no ambiguity."

"Although Jiang Mingyue was a TV actor when she first appeared, in fact, except for the TV drama in which the protagonist Li Yang tried out the waters at the beginning, Jiang Mingyue basically transformed into a movie actor afterwards."

"As for Shen Dongdong, I've positioned him as a TV series, and he won't be involved in movies."

"Mo Qinghan is purely about music. The three female protagonists all have their own roles, and there can be no crossover."

"Otherwise it will be easy to confuse the role of the heroine, which will damage the entire framework of the novel."

After hearing what he said, Xu Youyu nodded in agreement: "According to what you said, Jiang Mingyue can only play the role in the movie. Then it seems that it is not suitable for her to play the role of Lin Zhenxin?"

"Why not?"

"The Jiang Mingyue you wrote in your book is mainly a queen, right? Don't you think it's inappropriate for her to play a high school student?"

"You have forgotten the original setting of Jiang Mingyue, right?" Li Luo laughed, "The Jiang Mingyue I wrote debuted as a child star."

"Although I have been in the entertainment industry for much longer than the main character, I am actually only two years older than the main character."

"The protagonist is only a sophomore in college. Jiang Mingyue is just a female college student who is about to graduate. It is completely fine for her to play Lin Zhenxin."

"She's called a queen, but she's actually not that tall. The key is to get her hair and makeup done right."

"But this is actually a feature of the movie. In the early stages, Lin Zhenxin did look ordinary, but she had a good foundation. She just didn't know how to dress up."

"So there is no problem at all in arranging Jiang Mingyue to play the role. We can even create a contrast for the audience by dressing Jiang Mingyue up in an ordinary way."

"Yeah, that makes sense." Xu Youyu nodded, and continued Li Luo's words, "Since there is no problem with the selection, then that's fine."

"I originally thought it was quite simple, because you have been controlling the career development speed of the male and female protagonists."

"So I thought that movies like 'My Girlhood', which are low-cost, high-return, and not all-out blockbusters, are very suitable as materials for early stage accumulation."

"This way, we can control the speed at which Jiang Mingyue's status in the film industry rises while ensuring that the film's commercial success and reputation are both great, and the lead actor's performance as a director won't stand out too much all of a sudden."

Li Luo nodded, and after hearing her say this, he added with a smile, "And I wrote the theme song for this movie. We can use the song to link the two together. Mo Qinghan will sing the song in the book, and Zhu Sheng will sing another version outside the book."

The two of them were chatting about online writing, and the conversation became more and more heated, all the way from the entrance of the community to the entrance of 1502.

"By the way," Li Luo took out the key and prepared to open the door while asking Xu Youyu, "Senior sister will take the college entrance examination next year. Will "The Age of Literature and Art" be finished before the college entrance examination?"

"It should be possible, right?" Xu Youyu stroked his chin and thought for a moment. "It has already started to be finished recently. It is estimated that it will only take about three or four months."

"Then we will prepare for the college entrance examination after we finish it." Li Luo said with a smile, "After the college entrance examination, we will prepare for the new book?"

"Yeah." Xu Youyu said with a smile, "I also want to try the writing method of spiritual energy revival that you mentioned."

"Then I'll wait and see."

Li Luo inserted the key into the keyhole and opened the door. Then the two of them tacitly stopped discussing matters related to online writing.

At this time, the piano room was quite quiet and there was no one in the living room. I guessed that Yan Zhusheng had already returned to his room to sleep.

Xu Youyu stretched, but didn't seem to want to do anything else. He was already satisfied with the date tonight.

"I'm going to take a shower and go to bed first." Xu Youyu waved at Li Luo, went back to his room to get his pajamas, and then went into the bathroom.

At this moment.

Just as Li Luo was about to go back to his room, he saw Ying Chanxi push open her bedroom door, walk out, and stretch with a tired look on her face.

After seeing Li Luo standing in the living room, Ying Chanxi was stunned for a moment, then glanced at the clock on the wall: "Are you guys coming back at this time?"

"Hmm..." Li Luo looked at the time and it was almost dawn. He nodded reluctantly and acknowledged the fact.

Ying Chanxi narrowed her eyes slightly, wearing her cute panda pajamas and slippers, and came to Li Luo, asking suspiciously: "Yintai Department Store closes at 10 o'clock in the evening, right? How come you guys are shopping so late?" "I did something else."

"Watching a movie?" Ying Chanxi asked, "It's just that the cinema closes a little later."

"Yeah... watching a movie."

"Isn't it still a couple's seat?" Ying Chanxi wrinkled her cute little nose and asked a little unhappily.

"It's the good friend seat." Li Luo corrected.

Ying Chanxi: “…”

Li Luo looked at Ying Chanxi in silence for a moment. The next second, he heard her groan in dissatisfaction and felt his chest being hit several times by Ying Chanxi's head.

"Okay, okay, it's my birthday after all, and you all want to spend more time with me. I'm very grateful to you." Li Luo hugged Ying Chanxi and whispered in her ear, "Do you have anything else you want to ask?"

"Don't ask anymore. I'm not going to do anything." Ying Chanxi pouted and buried her head in his chest. "It's just that you said you were going to buy clothes at the beginning, but who knew you would go to the movies."

"You're back now." Li Luo patted her on the back and changed the subject, "Why aren't you asleep yet so late?"

"I'm waiting for you to come back." Ying Chanxi raised his head, blinked, looked at Li Luo, pursed his lips, "I have a gift for you."

"What is it?"

"Let me drink some water first. I'm a little thirsty."

"I'll pour it for you." Li Luo let go of Ying Chanxi, picked up the kettle from the coffee table, and poured a glass of water for Ying Chanxi.

Ying Chanxi looked at the cup of water that Li Luo handed over. She had no intention of taking it. Instead, she took two steps closer and opened her little mouth.

Li Luo laughed when he saw this, held the cup of water to her mouth, and carefully fed her two sips.

As a result, the feeding was a bit inaccurate, and some water still flowed down the corners of Ying Chanxi's mouth.

Li Luo quickly took out a tissue and wiped Ying Chanxi's mouth, which made her little mouth look even more rosy and tender, making people want to take a bite to taste it.

"You come with me."

After drinking the water, Ying Chanxi couldn't wait to take Li Luo's hand and walked towards his bedroom.

When they entered Ying Chanxi's bedroom, Li Luo was pulled to the desk by her. He watched Ying Chanxi sit down at the desk, hold the mouse, and start operating her laptop.

There are several video files in the opened folder.

Ying Chanxi saw the mark on the file clearly, paused the mouse on one of the files, and then looked at the time. There were only three minutes left until midnight.

Ying Chanxi then stood up and gave up his seat, and said to Li Luo, "Sit on the chair and get ready."

"What are you ready for?" Li Luo sat on Ying Chanxi's chair, reached out to grab the mouse, and asked puzzledly.

"That's it." Ying Chanxi pointed to the video file where the mouse had just stopped, then immediately held Li Luo's right hand and reminded him in a low voice, "You can't open it now. You have to wait until the early morning before you can click it to watch it."

"Oh." Li Luo nodded and looked at the video file with some curiosity. The length of the video marked on it was more than ten minutes.

Originally he thought it was just a MV for "Light Chasers", but looking at the length, it doesn't seem to be?
This made him even more curious and expectant.

And in the midst of such anticipation, Ying Chanxi, who was standing aside, blushed a little and looked quite embarrassed.

When the time jumped to 23:59, Ying Chanxi confirmed the time and hurried out the door, reminding Li Luo: "Remember to open it when the time comes. Call me when you're done. I'll leave first...ah!"

Before Ying Chanxi finished speaking, Li Luo reached out and grabbed her, pulling her back, and asked with a smile: "It's just a video, why did you go out and leave me alone to watch it here?"

Having said that, Li Luo simply hugged her and let Ying Chanxi sit directly on his thighs, holding her slender waist as they faced the laptop on the desk.

Seeing that the time had reached midnight, Ying Chanxi watched Li Luo reach out his hand, grab the mouse, and was about to click on the video file. His cheeks suddenly turned red with shame, and he twisted and struggled in Li Luo's arms:
"No, no... Can't you just watch it yourself? I'll wait until you're done watching it before coming in!"

"Is there anything shameful about this video?" Li Luo said with a smile, still holding her tightly, "Be good, don't move, and watch this video with me."

As he spoke, Li Luo grabbed the mouse, clicked on the video that Ying Chanxi had just mentioned, and directly enlarged it to full screen.

Seeing that the video had been clicked and the accompaniment of the opening song "Waiting for You to Get Out of Class" slowly sounded, Ying Chanxi finally accepted the reality and leaned obediently in Li Luo's arms, no longer struggling.

"Isn't it just the MV we filmed together before?" Li Luo glanced at the beginning of the video and couldn't help but say, "Why are you so shy?"

"Oh... don't talk, just watch it carefully." Ying Chanxi was too embarrassed to watch the video, so she huddled in Li Luo's arms and covered her cheek.

Li Luo was a little confused, so he continued reading.

After the MV of "Waiting for You After Class" finished playing, the scene in the video jumped to a fixed shot.

"Hey, hey, can you hear me?"

In the camera, Ying Chanxi is sitting at the desk. Judging from the background, it is obviously recorded directly in the bedroom at that time.

In the screen, Ying Chanxi waved towards the camera, tested the sound, and then got down to business.

"Ahem." Ying Chanxi cleared his throat and said on the screen, "By the time you see this video, if I'm still able to finish it in time, it should be your birthday, right?"

"Although we agreed to celebrate your birthday two days in advance on Saturday."

"But I think it's more meaningful to celebrate my birthday on my birthday."

“So…I prepared this video.”

"Actually, I don't know what to record. Just talk and wish you a happy birthday or something."

"Hmm... oh I'm so nervous, I don't even know what to say."

"How about I sing some songs too? I'll sing "Waiting for You to Get Out of Class" and "Light Chaser"."

After saying this, Ying Chanxi in the picture began to hum softly.

Although not as professional as Yan Zhusheng, she reveals the tenderness and purity that a girl of this age should have.

Very real singing.

Li Luo hugged Ying Chanxi tightly, resting his chin on her head, and chuckled, "You sing very well, why are you shy?"

"Stop talking." Ying Chanxi shrank into his arms, her face full of shyness, covering her cheeks and not daring to look at him at all.

In the picture, Ying Chanxi sang the birthday song after humming these two songs.

After she finished singing, she looked at the camera seriously, made a heart shape with her hands in front of her chest, and winked at him: "Happy birthday, Li Luo~"

Seeing this scene, Li Luo couldn't help but chuckle.

Even if Ying Chanxi didn't watch the video, she knew what was happening just by listening to the sound. She immediately whimpered in embarrassment, tapped Li Luo with her little hand, and whispered, "You, you are not allowed to laugh."

"Okay, okay, I won't laugh." Li Luo held back his smile, but a warm current slowly flowed through his heart, and he hugged Ying Chanxi's arms even tighter.

After that, Li Luo looked at Ying Chanxi in the video and said some words of blessing. Finally, he looked at her and said, "Finally, this is the result of our hard work over the past two days, the MV of "Light Chaser", please enjoy it~"

The next second, the screen jumped.

The shameful content finally ended, and Ying Chanxi finally raised his head from Li Luo's arms.

Li Luo held her in his arms and sat her on his lap, smiling and saying, "We should watch the last MV together, right?"

"Yeah." Ying Chanxi nodded gently, nestled obediently in Li Luo's arms, and stared at the laptop screen intently together with Li Luo.

"If you say~"

"You are the fireworks on the sea~"

"I am the foam of the waves~"

"At some point~"

"Your light illuminates me~"
