Rekindling the Youthful Era

Chapter 644 Zhu Sheng: Dad~
Another night passed.

July 3rd, early morning.

Ying Chanxi woke up from his sleep, stretched lazily in the crowded bed, turned his head to look at Li Luo beside him, a smile appeared on his face, and he turned sideways and snuggled into his arms.

Li Luo was awakened by her movement and raised his arm out of habit. Ying Chanxi subconsciously raised her head slightly, allowing Li Luo to put his arm under her neck, and then rested her head comfortably.

"What time is it?" Li Luo bent his arms and easily held her in his arms, and asked softly in Ying Chanxi's ear.

"I don't know." Ying Chanxi really enjoyed the feeling of being forcibly held in Li Luo's arms. With her face pressed against his chest, she listened to his strong heart beating continuously and whispered, "The alarm on my cell phone hasn't rung yet. It shouldn't be six o'clock yet."

"Then sleep a little longer." Li Luo turned sideways and hugged Ying Chanxi completely in his arms.

She was like a petite doll. After he held her in his arms, she was like a well-behaved doll, not moving at all, just letting him hold her.

Li Luo lowered his head and gently kissed Ying Chanxi on the forehead. Ying Chanxi closed his eyes, a happy smile appeared on his face, and he curled up in his arms and continued to sleep.

Not long after, the six o'clock alarm on Li Luo's mobile phone rang.

Ying Chanxi hadn't slept much because she was being pushed by someone. When she heard the alarm clock, she sat up from the bed with a slightly red face and went to the bathroom to wash up.

On the other side, Yan Zhusheng, after being woken up by the alarm clock, did not get up immediately. Instead, she stretched out her hands towards Li Luo, with a hint of confusion as if she had just woken up on her face, looking innocent and cute.

"Want a hug."

Li Luo picked her up from the bed and walked towards the bathroom.

"I want a kiss."

Yan Zhusheng put her arms around his neck, wrapped her long legs tightly around his waist, pouted her little mouth, and kissed Li Luo on the lips several times like a woodpecker.

Ying Chanxi had just put the toothbrush in his mouth when he turned his head and saw this scene. He clenched his teeth and almost bit off the free disposable toothbrush given by the hotel: "Don't you have feet? You need someone to hold you when you go to the bathroom."

"Sister is jealous." Yan Zhusheng's shoulders shrank, and he hugged Li Luo even tighter, burying his head in his shoulder, and said calmly in Li Luo's ear, "How scary."

You don’t look scared at all... Li Luo's mouth twitched, and he quickly put Yan Zhusheng in front of the sink, then went back to get her slippers.

Ying Chanxi puffed up his lips and brushed his teeth angrily in front of the mirror.

Yan Zhusheng next to her kindly reminded her, "Sister, you're brushing your teeth so hard, be careful of bleeding gums."

"It's none of your business." Ying Chanxi rolled her eyes at her unhappily, but when Li Luo was about to brush his teeth, she took the initiative to hand him the toothbrush with toothpaste squeezed on it.

……

As usual, the three of them went downstairs for a morning run and then returned to the room.

Ying Chanxi and Yan Zhusheng, who were sweating all over, took off their sportswear and walked into the bathroom to take a quick shower.

Li Luo originally thought of sitting down at the desk, opening his notebook to see what news was on it, and typing a few words at the same time.

As soon as he sat down, the bathroom door opened a crack, Yan Zhusheng poked his head out and asked him, "Li Luo, sister wants to ask if you want to come in and take a bath with me?"

As soon as these words came out of his mouth, before Li Luo could react, Yan Zhusheng was grabbed back.

"What are you talking nonsense about!?"

"I'm not talking nonsense. It was you who said you wanted to shower faster so that Li Luo could come in and take a shower earlier, otherwise the sweat on your body would dry up." Yan Zhusheng said innocently, "Doesn't that mean you want Li Luo to come in and take a shower together?"

"No way!" Ying Chanxi refuted, then poked her head out with a blushing face and said to Li Luo, "Don't, don't listen to Zhu Sheng's nonsense, come in after we're done."

Li Luo nodded to show that she understood. She was used to the two sisters' daily fights and pranks. She waved her hand and told her to go wash quickly.

However, after being interrupted by Yan Zhusheng, all kinds of images involuntarily emerged in Li Luo's mind.

Unfortunately, regarding the bathing scenes, the only ones Li Luo has in his memory palace's collection are those of him and Xu Youyu bathing together.

I don’t know when I can gather all three girls.

Li Luo was fantasizing in his mind, and at the same time he opened his laptop and logged into Weibo, taking a look at the hot topics there.

The popularity of "Little Joy" continues, and even has a tendency to intensify. The climax at the beginning of the show now seems to be just the beginning.

As the drama continues to air over the past two days, there have been more and more discussions online, with various topics coming one after another, even rising to the level of education system, college entrance examination reform, etc.

There are also discussions that are more rooted in the plot. For example, in the third episode, Qiao Yingzi's divorced parents come together to attend her oath-taking ceremony, and the teacher requires them to write down their desired college entrance examination scores and the name of their target school on the flying balloons.

Qiao Yingzi's mother Song Qian wanted her to write Peking University or Tsinghua University, but Qiao Yingzi was more interested in aerospace and aviation and wanted to write down another school of her dreams.

The mother and daughter started arguing and accidentally popped the balloon.

This scene is full of tension, which makes many viewers feel distressed.

After watching the video, students all lamented that parents’ desire for control is so strong.

However, after watching the video, the parents felt that there was nothing wrong with Song Qian's approach. If she had the ability to be admitted to Peking University or Tsinghua University, why would she consider other schools? The girl was just too young and did not understand how difficult it would be to enter society in the future.

Similar debates continued online, and the popularity of "Little Joy" remained high. The ratings of Qianjiang TV and Dragon TV exceeded 1.5%, and the number of views on Penguin Video and iQiyi also quickly exceeded million.

In addition, these few days are the time for filling out college entrance examination applications, and related topics have directly become hot searches. "Little Joy" has taken advantage of the momentum and has become a phenomenal hit TV series in the summer, overshadowing all other TV series of the same period.

At the same time, Li Luo also received good news from Ying Zhicheng.

Reminded by the female author at the salon event two days ago, Li Luo specifically asked Ying Zhicheng and soon got his reply.

When "Little Joy" was sold to Qianjiang TV and Dragon TV in the first round, the total price was about 70 million.

For Penguin Video and iQiyi, it’s about 30 to 40 million, but there will be various revenue shares for VIP members and streaming media in the future. According to the current performance trend, this part will be at least tens of millions, and the long-tail effect will be very strong.

Thanks to the current hot discussion about "Little Joy", no less than ten local TV stations have come to inquire about the price of the second round of broadcasting in the past few days.

After all, "Little Joy" has a total of 49 episodes, and it will be almost finished by the end of July.

If it can take on the second round of broadcasts in August, there will be a chance to enjoy it again during the summer vacation and have some soup.

At present, it seems that the price of the second round of broadcasting will not be too low, and the conservative estimate is tens of millions.

In addition, during the production of the TV series, soft ads that were inserted into the plot, as well as various interstitial ads, also brought in tens of millions of yuan in revenue. After a simple estimate, Ying Zhicheng gave him a guaranteed number.

——2.5 million!

Considering that Li Luo almost took one seventh of the original investment cost, Li Luo can at least get about 35 million in profit this time!
Moreover, according to Ying Zhicheng, 250 million is just a conservative estimate. The follow-up will depend on the team's subsequent operations to see if they can tap into more benefits in other areas.

But for Li Luo, this was already surprise enough.

He is now thinking about how he should spend the 35 million after it arrives in his account.

Some people just deposit their money in the bank and talk to Sister Chen Lu. They may be able to get a very good interest rate from the bank.

The other part can be thrown into the stock market. This money is a huge fortune for ordinary people, but it probably won't even make a splash if thrown into the stock market. There is no need to worry about causing any butterfly effect.

Normally, I treat the monthly royalties as pocket money, and use them to buy houses and cars, please girls, and cover daily expenses, and I basically never spend them all.

After calculating this, Li Luo wanted to just lie down.

However, when he thought of the real estate boss he knew who had purchased various properties all over the country, including Qiongzhou City, Li Luo began to wonder whether he should also go to a place like Qiongzhou City and build a small villa by the sea.

But he changed his mind and immediately warned himself to be wary of consumerism and not be corrupted by it.

If you have this spare money, you might as well do more good deeds.

Thinking of this, Li Luo suddenly had an idea and made a note in the key area of ​​his memory palace. He took some time to ask Butler Liu and his uncle what the better process would be if he wanted to make some charitable donations.

Perhaps we can ask the teachers at the Affiliated No. 1 Middle School. Although Qianjiang Province is economically developed, there are still some poor students in the school. Li Luo can also provide some support in this regard.

Hmm...why don't we just let Teacher Kong talk to it?

As for Xu Rongsheng, if the School of Arts needs it, Li Luo doesn't mind providing some financial aid to poor students, which can be considered as a way of giving some credit to his father-in-law.

Thinking about these things randomly, Li Luo casually flipped through the comments on Weibo. Soon, when Ying Chanxi and Yan Zhusheng finished their shower, he got up and walked into the bathroom and took a quick shower.

At around seven in the morning, Xu Youyu was awakened by Li Luo. He climbed out of the bed with difficulty and followed them downstairs to have breakfast with sleepy eyes.

After packing up the luggage in the room, the six people returned to the RV, tidied up a little, and then headed towards Taihu Lake in Gusu City from the hotel parking lot.

"Wuhu!" Xu Youyu, sitting in the passenger seat, swept away the decadence he had just gotten out of bed. He now raised his hands excitedly and cheered, "Let's go! Next is our official RV trip!"

"Oh~" Yan Zhusheng responded with a little support, raising his hands slightly and cheering without enthusiasm.

Ying Chanxi looked at Li Luo who was in the driver's seat and said in advance, "It will take about two hours to drive from here to the destination. If you get tired during the journey, just let me know and I or my senior will switch with you."

"Got it." Li Luo nodded to indicate that it was okay, and then he looked at Yan Zhusheng in the rearview mirror with a smile, "Where's the guitar? Take it out."

"Oh." Yan Zhusheng nodded obediently, holding the guitar that Yuan Wanqing had given to Ying Zhicheng, and Ying Chanxi had given to Li Luo, in his arms, and asked the others, "What song do you want to listen to?"

"Then just ask my mom." Xu Youyu picked up the phone and shook it. Just then he received a WeChat video call from Cui Suling, so he clicked to answer it.

"Who is driving?" Cui Suling, who was sitting in the passenger seat of the RV at the back, asked Xu Youyu.

"Yes." Xu Youyu did not answer directly. He simply turned the phone around and pointed the camera towards Li Luo to show his mother.

"Oh, Li Luo." Cui Suling nodded on the other end of the video. "Let's take our time. We have plenty of time. We just need to get there before noon. There's no rush."

"Okay Aunt Cui, don't worry, I drive very steadily."

"I'm sure you'll be relieved." Cui Suling said with a smile, "If she gets tired later, let Youyu come and do it. Don't let her be idle."

"You're talking as if I don't work." Xu Youyu couldn't help but complain, "Do you even need to tell me about this?"

"I'm talking to Li Luo, why are you butting in?" Cui Suling rolled her eyes at her daughter. "Look how well behaved Xixi and Zhusheng are. Why don't you learn from them?"

Xu Youyu chuckled and was too lazy to refute her mother. She thought that it was usually her two little sisters who were secretly learning from her.

"What song do you want to listen to?" Yan Zhusheng had been waiting for a long time with his guitar in his arms. He gently plucked the guitar strings and asked in the direction of Xu Youyu.

"What are you doing?"

"Order a song on the spot." Xu Youyu said to his mother, "What song do you want to hear? I'll let Zhusheng sing it."

"Then let's play 'Mother and Daughter.'" Cui Suling didn't hesitate to listen and directly ordered her favorite song.

But Yan Zhusheng was stunned for a moment, then said: "This song is sung by two people, but it is not impossible for one person to sing it."

"It's okay, let's go together." Li Luo, who was driving, said with a smile, and then he was heard humming.

"My child~"

“I don’t know if I’m doing well enough~”

“This is my first time being a father~”

Yan Zhusheng followed Li Luo's singing, his fingers quickly sweeping across the guitar strings, matching his singing.

But when he heard him sing the third line of the lyrics, Yan Zhusheng's fingers couldn't help but pause.

Xu Youyu couldn't help but burst out laughing: "What are you doing? Taking advantage of Zhu Sheng, right?"

"Well, I'm a man." Li Luo immediately complained, "What's wrong with slightly changing the lyrics?"

"It doesn't matter, it's just the lyrics." Yan Zhusheng didn't know why, but not only did he not feel disgusted or mind it, but he even had a vague expectation of it. He continued to strum the guitar strings and hummed along.

"Dear Dad~"

“I don’t know if I’m doing well enough~”

"This is my first time being a daughter~"

When the song reached Li Luo's ears, his heart was immediately moved, and some strange and erotic scenes involuntarily emerged in his mind.

Accompanied by the singing in the car, the two RVs drove onto the highway and gradually drove away, heading far away in the direction of Taihu Lake in Suzhou City.
