Chapter 106: Forming a Group

Time passed quickly, and the weather became colder day by day, as if there was no end. Chang Qing was afraid of the cold and almost only stayed in the house.

The “Sword Immortal” filmed by Lin Yifeng started broadcasting when most of the students had finished their final exams.

This costume drama, produced by Tianxing Entertainment, achieved unexpected results on the first day of its premiere.

And the second male lead, played by Lin Yifeng, also became popular as soon as the show was broadcast because he was so outstanding in all aspects.

Maybe he was just a minor celebrity at first, but now it’s different. Because of the relationship between the Lu group and the government, Tianxing’s broadcast time was the prime time for all major satellite TV stations. The ratings were so good, and there were many fans. Not only Lin Yifeng, but even the male lead and female lead in the show have exploded in popularity.

It’s just that Lin Yifeng, as the second male lead, always has some role bonuses, and he became popular faster than the male lead.

Lin Yifeng called Chang Qing again, his voice couldn’t conceal the tiredness. His popularity rose, and the company won him several endorsement advertisements. His rest time had been sucked dry.

But being so popular also made him feel a lot better, and the laughter in his voice became stronger. He didn’t have much time to contact Chang Qing these days, and it was only now that he had found the time. The main thing is that now he has achieved something, so he called Chang Qing to announce the good news.

Chang Qing naturally congratulated him first and wished him that he’d get what he hoped for, “The next step is to become the best actor, right?”

Without Qin Lang to compete with him, Lin Yifeng’s acting skills were so outstanding, and he signed with Tianxing again. He avoided the earlier detours and would only go further and climb higher than in the original novel, especially since he was still so young, still in his early twenties.

Lin Yifeng smiled, “I’d like to. We’ll have to see if there are any good scripts next.”

At this point, Lin Yifeng paused subtly and shut his mouth. After so long, he had actually realized that half of the company’s resources were leaning towards him.

At the beginning, he was just an amateur with little fame. Tianxing was unlikely to come dig him up in person. Not only did they dig him up but also give him resources without saying a word. They were also all high-quality resources that the agent had passed…

His agent had occasionally let it slip that the higher-ups were very optimistic about him. In addition, there were some rumors about Chang Qing. He was almost certain that the person who helped him was Chang Qing.

No wonder he is so confident that he will be popular. Apart from his own acting skills, it also has a lot to do with the company’s resource tilt.

Lin Yifeng laughed at this. His heart was warm, and his voice couldn’t help being more gentle, “I’ll work hard. I won’t disappoint your expectations.”

Chang Qing was shocked by his tender voice and couldn’t help saying, “That… Lin Yifeng, I have something to tell you.”

When Lin Yifeng heard this, he subconsciously felt that it should be something bad and couldn’t help but feel a little resistant. However, he only paused for a moment on the surface, and his voice was still gentle, “Wait until I have time…I’m a bit busy now, I just want to talk to you about something relaxing.”

Chang Qing paused, then smiled and said, “Let’s make an appointment…? How about this Sunday?”

Lin Yifeng asked: “Will you take your brother?”

Chang Qing was a little amused, “What would I take him for?”

Lin Yifeng laughed, “Then is this a date?”

“…” Chang Qing said softly: “It doesn’t count.”

Lin Yifeng let out a ”hmm” and said gently: “I’ll see you then… By the way, have you been happy lately?”

Chang Qing recalled Lu Zheng’s face, and his face unconsciously revealed a smile,”… very happy.”

Lin Yifeng heard the relaxed smile in his voice, and his heart was slightly bitter. He couldn’t help asking again: “Are you really in love with him? Didn’t he force you?

Chang Qing smiled and said, “We… love each other. Actually, what I want to talk to you about is this. We have a good relationship, so… do you understand? You shouldn’t expect anything from me, I’m not a good1 person.”

Lin Yifeng was originally uncomfortable, but when he heard him say this, he laughed softly and with warmth, “What are you talking about? I don’t regret what I said to you, and I don’t like you because you’re good or not… you know? I feel very comfortable with you. I think you may be the best lover … But I am quite worried about your partner. From my observation, he’s quite childish, and you may be very tired.”

Chang Qing saw that his tone was gentle and let out a sigh of relief. He smiled and couldn’t help but say, “It’s quite tiring. He’s like a kitten who loves to act like a baby and talks sweetly non-stop…” He paused again as he spoke, and stopped in embarrassment.

He shouldn’t have said so much in front of Lin Yifeng.

Lin Yifeng didn’t seem to care. His voice was soft and heavy. “If you’re tired, I’ll be here. I’ll always be here. You can come to me.”

Hanging up the phone, Chang Qing greeted Lu Hua and they watched “Sword Immortal” together.

Lu Hua had no interest in TV series. At her age, it was amazing that she didn’t watch TV series. However, when she heard that Lin Yifeng was in this drama, she came to watch it.

She sat beside Chang Qing, thinking about when Lin Yifeng would cook for them again, to satiate their appetite.

Chang Qing ruffled her hair, “Don’t think about it. He’s a big star now. How can he have time to cook for you?”

Lu Hua covered her head and complained in a low voice, “Aiya, I’ve told you many times, don’t rub my hair. I’ve done my hair. Every strand of hair has its own place, and you messed it up. This is a crime.”

Chang Qing smiled and said: “Okay, look at your dramatics.”

Lu Shi came over at this time, and said with some awkwardness: “Do you want to eat some fruit?”

Chang Qing was taken aback. He raised his eyes, and looked at Lu Shi. Lu Shi looked at him fiercely, but his tone was weak, “It was just cut, it’s fresh.”

Chang Qing: “…”

He looked at him strangely. Lu Shi was a little nervous, “It’s fine if you don’t eat.”

He sat down not far from Chang Qing, and put the fruit plate on the ground.

Lu Hua stabbed a piece of apple with a toothpick and brought it to Chang Qing’s mouth, “Qing Qing, eat it. The apple will be oxidized if you don’t eat it right away.”

Chang Qing opened his mouth and bit the small piece of apple in his mouth and ate it.

Lu Hua asked him, “Is it sweet?”

“…It’s pretty sweet.” Chang Qing replied.

Lu Hua asked: “Do you want some snacks? Potato chips? Mochi? There’s also dried pork.”

Chang Qing thought for a while, “Yes.”

Lu Hua instructed, “Brother, go and get it for him.”

Chang Qing paused, and just as he wanted to say no, he heard Lu Shi say without complaint, “Got it.”

Chang Qing suddenly looked at Lu Shi in horror, but he didn’t see a reluctant expression on his face. He got up from the ground and went to get snacks from the white metal box containing snacks in the corner of the room.

After a while, he picked up a bunch of snacks and threw them on the wool carpet in front of Chang Qing.

Lu Hua murmured: “I get inflamed after eating too many potato chips, but they’re really delicious.”

Now she also likes to eat junk food. She used to eat imported biscuits and chocolates, but after eating them, she still found that local snacks were more in line with her taste.

She likes to eat these things very much now. She has eaten too much recently, and she has developed a red pimple under her lower lip, which made her restrain herself a little.

Chang Qing opened a bag of potato chips and asked, “You don’t want to eat it, do you? You’ve got a pimple.”

Lu Hua sighed, with an expression that said there was nothing to be done, “I won’t eat it, I’ll just eat beef jerky.”

As she spoke, she took a bite of beef jerky, and then glanced at Lu Shi, “Brother, how much money have you made recently?”

When Lu Shi heard this, he immediately had some thoughts of showing off. He waved his hand and pretended to be modest. “Not much, just 20,000 yuan.”

Lu Hua laughed and said, “That’s already a lot! How are you planning to spend this money?”

Lu Shi paused, his tone a bit reluctant, “I’ll buy you a gift.”

Lu Hua was surprised. “Brother, you’re so sensible. I’m touched! But it’s not easy for you to earn money. I don’t want to spend too much of your money. Just buy me an iPad. My iPad is broken.”

Lu Shi pretended to be generous: “Okay.”

Lu Hua gave him a wink. Lu Shi paused, turned to look at Chang Qing and asked, “What do you want? I will buy it for you. “

Chang Qing was really flattered, and he said “I don’t want anything… You can keep it for yourself.”

Lu Shi went to see Lu Hua, and Lu Hua bumped Chang Qing with her shoulder, and said, “My brother is going to buy gifts for everyone, so you should ask for something too.”

Lu Shi nodded and couldn’t help but say, “You don’t have to save me money either, do you? It’s a good deal if you can knock one off. You’re not stupid, are you?”

Lu Hua: “…”

Chang Qing laughed. The small movements of the two children were right under his nose. How could he not see them? He couldn’t say what feeling was in his heart, but it was as if the ice and snow had melted away and he was a little happy. He didn’t show his mood on his face, but said softly, “…but I don’t want to take advantage of you.”

Lu Shi said, “Why are you so unwise?”

Lu Hua said, “Brother, you want to buy him a gift, not threaten him. You have become a bandit.”

Lu Shi hesitated, speechless.

Chang Qing paused and said, “Why don’t you give me a puppy? I want to have a dog.”

Lu Shi said, “No, think again, I’m afraid of dogs.”

Lu Hua gave him a pinch. “Since when are you afraid of dogs?”

Lu Shi reluctantly said, “Then I’ll buy you a Corgi. It’s smaller, and the butt looks like a heart.”

Chang Qing nodded, “Okay, thank you.”

When Lu Shi heard his words, he couldn’t help but glance at him. He looked a little awkward and his expression became fierce again. “Don’t let the dog pee anywhere, or I’ll kick him out.”

Chang Qing smiled, and his voice was a little softer, “The dog will be well behaved, just buy me a smarter one.”

Lu Shi muttered, “How can I tell if it’s smart or not?”

Lu Hua said, “Lin Yifeng has come out! Look, Qing Qing! He’s so handsome.”

Both Chang Qing and Lu Shi’s eyes shifted away.

Before Chang Qing could look at it for long, the door behind him creaked open, “What are you doing?”

It was Lu Zheng who came over.

Lu Hua said unconsciously: “I’m watching a drama. It’s Brother Lin’s drama. He’s so handsome, ah! I like this look!”

Chang Qing looked at Lu Zheng, and sure enough, Lu Zheng’s eyebrows were lowered, “Did you guys form a group to watch his drama?”

Lu Hua patted the seat next to her, “Come on, let’s watch together.”

Lu Zheng: “…”

He paused, pushed Lu Hua away from Chang Qing, and sat down next to Chang Qing.
