Li Xiwu pretended to be surprised. “Ah, you’re worried?”
Pei Jingzhou lowered his eyes and smiled. “To prevent my son from being frightened by her enthusiasm again, it’s best to let her have a child herself.”
“It’s probably very difficult between her and Shao Jingmo. Qiao Qiao hasn’t realized her own feelings yet.” Li Xiwu believed that at least for the time being, Qiao Qiao and Shao Jingmo wouldn’t have any further relationship development.
“Let’s not talk about this anymore.” Pei Jingzhou held her hand and walked in.
As they walked, he asked, “When are you returning to Lake Lu?”
Li Xiwu said, “We’ll see.’
Pei Jingzhou said, “Can you go back the day after tomorrow?” Li Xiwu said nothing.
Pei Jingzhou said, “Then shall we stay for another three days?”
Li Xiwu still said nothing.
“Five days?”
“Ten days?”
“After the New Year?”
Li Xiwu remained silent. She suppressed a smile. Just as she was about to go up the steps, she looked up at the night sky. “Fourth Brother, do you think it will snow tonight?”
“How do you know?”
“The weather forecast said so.’
Pei Jingzhou reminded her, “Be careful of the steps.” The two of them slowly walked to the steps. Li Xiwu looked down at the steps and suddenly stopped walking. Pei Jingzhou looked at her sideways and asked in confusion, “What’s wrong?”
Li Xiwu turned around. “Can you carry me?” Knowing what she meant, Pei Jingzhou smiled and reached out to carry her. Li Xiwu wrapped her arms around Pei Jingzhou’s neck. “We’re already so close. Don’t you think I’m very bored?”
Pei Jingzhou carried her up the steps. “Then you’d better be bored often.”
Li Xiwu curved her eyes and leaned into his arms. She said slowly, “Pei
Jingzhou, you’ve indulged me for more than twenty years.”
Pei Jingzhou carried her and took every step steadily. “That was the past twenty years, there’s still many more years in the future.”
She was overjoyed because of every action and every heartfelt word. She raised her face and whispered, “Put your ear a little closer.” Pei Jingzhou leaned closer to her as he walked. Li Xiwu said, “Let’s return to Lake Lu tomorrow.” Pei Jingzhou’s gaze landed on her smiling face.
There was no one around. Pei Jingzhou was unrestrained. He lowered his head and kissed her lips. Before Pei Jingzhou could taste more, Dao Xi who came out bumped into this scene and almost fell.
The commotion was loud and alarmed Pei Jingzhou and Li Xiwu.
Li Xiwu did not even look at who it was. She quickly buried her face in Pei
Jingzhou’s arms. Pei Jingzhou did not look too good either. He carried Li Xiwu in.
Dao Xi retreated to the side and watched the young lady and young master go in. Only then did he dare to take a deep breath. He patted his chest. “Tsk, young master’s gaze .”could eat someone.”
After the New Year’s holiday ended, Li Xiwu focused on her work.
Qiao Qiao followed Shao Jingmo back to Xingzhou.
Xue Jinzhu had already joined the new drama’s production team. In addition, she had signed two supporting roles with very heavy scenes. One was a big IPS supporting actress, and the other was a star drama. These were all resources that the company had supported and Xue Jinzhu’s father was willing to spend money.
After Xue Jinzhu entered the production team, Li Xiwu also followed her into the production team to guard Xue Jinzhu. She personally watched Xue Jinzhu memorize the script and film for a full month. In the end, she even had to spend the New Year in the production team.
“Miss Li! Miss Li!” Yuanyuan ran over, panting.
Li Xiwu was sitting beside the director watching the replay on the monitor. On the screen of the monitor, Xue Jinzhu’s scene with the male lead was playing. Director Wang shook his head. “I think we still have to reshoot here
later. I thought it was alright just now, but now that I look back, it seems a little lacking. Jinzhu’s gaze is not on point.”
The assistant director said, “l think there’s no problem with this part. Jinzhu’s eye scene was very good.”
Director Wang frowned. “No, this eye evasion is not very good.”
The assistant director did not find it troublesome. He just felt that Xue Jinzhu’s gaze was very good, but Director Wang felt that it was a little lacking and did not act out the gaze he had imagined.
Hence, the two of them spoke one after another and quickly fell into a stalemate.
The assistant director turned to ask Li Xiwu, “Miss Li, what do you think?”
Li Xiwu was not surprised to be suddenly asked. Ever since she entered the production team of “The Blue Bird Record’! with Xue Jinzhu, such scenes were common every day.
At the end of each stalemate, the director and assistant director would ask her for her opinion. Then, with her opinion and suggestion, they would reach a settlement and agreement.
Just now, when Director Wang and the assistant director had a difference of opinion, Li Xiwu listened from the side and knew the cause. She said, “The effect of Jinzhu acting another two more times would probably be the same. It should be better to adjust the plot.”
This sentence immediately reminded Director Wang and the assistant director.
Director Wang said, “That’s why it’s so awkward. Tell the screenwriter to change this scene and delete the male lead’s lines…”
The assistant director said, “There’s also this line from the female lead. Add a few words here to correspond to her expression.”
Seeing that Director Wang and the assistant director had reached an agreement again, Li Xiwu sat down and munched on melon seeds.
At this moment, Yuanyuan ran over, panting. Li Xiwu asked, “What’s wrong with Jinzhu?”
Yuanyuan said, “It’s not Sister Jinzhu. It’s President Pei.”
Li Xiwu raised her eyebrows. “He’s here on set?”
Director Wang was discussing the modification of the plot with the assistant director. When he heard Yuanyuan say that Pei Jingzhou was here, he immediately stood up. “Where is President Pei?”
Yuanyuan said, “President Pei didn’t come to the set. He treated the entire production team to a roasted whole lamb. It was just roasted and sent over.
Everyone surrounded it. It was very lively there.”
Director Wang was bitterly thinking that he would be the last to go back for tonight’s New Year’s Eve dinner. He had no choice. The filming progress happened to be stuck at this time and there was no way to take a holiday. If he did not film it, it would cost him millions a day. Therefore, he could only spend New Year’s Eve on set. He could not even make it for the New Year’s Eve dinner.
The roasted whole lamb had come at the right time, filling the melancholy of not being able to make it to the New Year’s Eve dinner tonight. The director was overjoyed. He turned to Li Xiwu and said, “Miss Li, you first?”
Li Xiwu smiled faintly. “Director Wang, you guys go over first. I’ll come over later.’
Director Wang nodded. “Alright, I’ll go over first.” When Director Wang left, he did not forget to call the other staff around him over. The assistant director followed happily.
Yuanyuan asked Li Xiwu, “Miss Li, aren’t you going over?”
Li Xiwu said, “Go over and eat the roasted lamb first. I’ll come over later.’
Yuanyuan’s mouth was filled with saliva from her taste buds. It was really too fragrant. She couldn’t wait anymore. “Then, Miss Li, I’ll go over first?”
Li Xiwu smiled faintly. “Go.”
After Yuanyuan left, Li Xiwu was left alone. She put down the melon seeds and picked up the cell phone beside her. She opened it and saw that it was all New Year’s wishes. She had replied more than an hour ago, and now there were more than a dozen.
She was so focused that she did not even notice when Pei Jingzhou approached. After replying, she put down her phone and was about to get up and go over, as she was afraid that Pei Jingzhou would wait for too long. She looked up and saw the person standing in front of her.
Li Xiwu was surprised. “Fourth Brother…”
He actually came to the set, but Yuanyuan did not tell her just now.
Pei Jingzhou sat down beside her and gave her a small gift box. “I’m here to give my wife a New Year’s gift..”
