Rekindling the Youthful Era

Chapter 756 Sister, who are you trying to drive me crazy?
October 10th, Sunday.

In the second bedroom of apartment 401 in Jincheng Residential Complex.

Ying Chanxi woke up groggily from the bed, rubbed his eyes after opening them, and then looked at the ceiling.

After a long pause, Ying Chanxi gradually came to her senses, turned to look at Li Luo who was fast asleep beside her, and couldn't help but blush as she recalled what had happened last night.

But as the shyness gradually faded, a feeling of happiness followed.

Ying Chanxi turned to the side and snuggled into Li Luo's arms. Seeing that he was still not awake, she reached out her small hand and gently stroked his face, running it across his nose and finally touching his lips.

Feeling the touch on her fingertips, Ying Chanxi couldn't resist leaning over and secretly giving her a kiss.

As soon as she closed her eyes and finished kissing him, she opened them to see Li Luo smiling at her. She immediately let out a soft "Ah!" and blushed, shrinking back into the covers.

"A stolen kiss is fine, but not if someone sees us?" Li Luo pulled Ying Chanxi into his arms, leaned close to her ear, and teased her with a chuckle, "Why did you stop kissing?"

"When did you wake up?" Ying Chanxi whimpered in his arms, angrily bumping her head against his shoulder. "You're so mean."

"I woke up when you touched my mouth." Li Luo lowered his head and kissed Ying Chanxi's fair cheek, smiling as he said, "I was just curious what you would do. I didn't expect that some people who seem innocent on the surface would actually steal kisses."

"Stop talking!" Ying Chanxi raised her hand to cover his mouth and snorted. "Didn't Zhusheng say yesterday that he was going to Huanhuan's place? Let's get up early."

"Hmm, but she didn't say what time," Li Luo said. "Let's get up early and go for a morning run first."

"Let's go then." Ying Chanxi climbed onto Li Luo, wrapped her arms around his neck, and said with a grin, "Carry me to the bathroom~"

Li Luo straightened up, picked Ying Chanxi up, and sat up on the bed. After getting off the bed, he carried Ying Chanxi outside.

As soon as Li Luo opened the door, Lin Xiuhong and Li Guohong, who were having breakfast at the dining table in the living room, turned their heads to look at him.

Meanwhile, Ying Chanxi, whose back was turned to Lin Xiuhong and the others because she was being hugged by Li Luo, was still tightly hugging Li Luo's neck and her legs were wrapped around his waist. She said happily, "If Zhusheng isn't here today, it will just be the two of us going for a morning run together."

"Yes, yes, yes." Li Luo suppressed a laugh and continued carrying Ying Chanxi forward, passing by Lin Xiuhong and Li Guohong who were having breakfast.

The couple didn't say anything, just ate and watched the two of them with smiles.

When Ying Chanxi changed from having her back to them to facing them directly, her previously smiling face instantly changed drastically.

"what!"

After a short scream, Ying Chanxi's face turned bright red in an instant. She quickly buried her head in Li Luo's shoulder, not daring to look at Lin Xiuhong and Li Guohong's teasing smiles.

At the dinner table, Li Guohong chuckled when he saw Ying Chanxi's appearance and whispered to Lin Xiuhong, "Is that what Xixi is like in private? She's quite energetic."

"I think so." Lin Xiuhong couldn't help but laugh, finding it quite novel. "They're so affectionate, it seems their relationship is really good."

As they were saying this, the couple suddenly heard three knocks on the door, and their expressions froze for a moment.

"Why would someone come to our door so early in the morning?" Lin Xiuhong asked in confusion.

"Maybe it's delivering packages or something?" Li Guohong asked as he stood up. "Have you bought anything recently?"

"No……"

"Let me see who it is."

……

Meanwhile, in the bathroom.

After Ying Chanxi was carried in by Li Luo, he suppressed a laugh and put her down from his arms.

As soon as Ying Chanxi landed, she angrily punched him twice, then slammed her head into Li Luo's chest.

"You're so bad! You're so bad! You're so bad!"

"Alright, alright, what does it matter?" Li Luo laughed and hugged her, patting Ying Chanxi's back to comfort her. "It's not like it's anything shameful. Do you think my parents don't know where you slept last night?"

"But...but..." Ying Chanxi blushed and muttered softly, "You even carried me out, and everyone saw us. I even said those kinds of things..."

"What kind of talk is that?" Li Luo said with a laugh. "Aren't you happy because Zhu Sheng isn't here?"

"No way!" Ying Chanxi denied loudly, "That would make me seem petty."

"That's how it is."

"Hmph!" Ying Chanxi added another kick to Li Luo's head, "Then I'll just be petty, okay? I'm happy that Zhu Sheng isn't here. I'll call her when I go for my morning run later and make her furious."

"Sister, who are you trying to drive me crazy?"

Yan Zhusheng's voice came abruptly from outside the bathroom door.

The next second, the bathroom door was pushed open from the outside.

When Ying Chanxi turned her head and saw Yan Zhusheng standing outside the door with her head tilted to the side, she was immediately startled: "Why are you here?"

"I came to join you guys for a morning run," Yan Zhusheng said, shaking her car keys. "Li Luo bought a car, so it has to be put to good use."

Ying Chanxi: "..."

The little sister drove all the way here just to go for a morning run together, and Ying Chanxi suddenly lost her energy. She grumbled as she brushed her teeth and sat down at the dining table. She didn't dare to look at Lin Xiuhong and Li Guohong, who had just finished eating breakfast on the sofa, and ate her breakfast in silence.

"We'll go for a morning run after breakfast, and then head straight back to Bihai Lanting," Li Luo said to her parents while eating. "What are your plans for today?"

"I've arranged to play mahjong with your Aunt Cui," Lin Xiuhong said, holding her phone. "You two just mind your own business. I'll clean up after breakfast."

"I made an appointment with your Uncle Xu to go fishing." Li Guohong took out a cigarette, but just as he put it in his mouth, Lin Xiuhong slapped it away in annoyance, so he could only put it away reluctantly.

"If you want to smoke, go to the balcony," Lin Xiuhong said. "Can't you see the children are all here?"

"Okay, okay." Li Guohong got up helplessly and went to the balcony to smoke.

After Li Luo and the others finished breakfast, they got up, said goodbye, went downstairs, went for a morning run in the neighborhood, and then drove back to Bihai Lanting to wake Xu Youyu up.

Since Li Luo wasn't there last night, Yan Zhusheng slept directly on Li Luo's bed, while Xu Youyu didn't go over and slept in her own bedroom.

After returning to Bihai Lanting, Yan Zhusheng knew that Xu Youyu had trouble getting up, so she simply went to the piano room first.

Ying Chanxi planned to take another shower and change his clothes.

So Li Luo went to Xu Youyu's bedroom door, knocked on it, and then pushed the door open and went inside.

"Who is it?" Xu Youyu was groggily awakened by the knocking, but she remained snuggled in bed and refused to open her eyes.

Li Luo walked to the bedside, lowered his head and kissed her lips: "Who else could it be?"

"So you finally decided to come back?" Xu Youyu muttered on the bed, turning her back to Li Luo and making a whimpering sound. "That scoundrel never comes home at night. He's found a new love and forgotten his old one. I think you'd better not come back."

Li Luo: "...Stop acting, get up quickly. Didn't Zhu Sheng tell you last night? We're going to Huanhuan's house today."

"Fine, fine, I'll just go back to sleep. You can go have fun with the other women and leave me all alone at home."

"I think you need to be taught a lesson again." Li Luo chuckled, climbed onto the bed, turned Xu Youyu to the correct position, and then pulled back the covers and pressed down on top of him.

"Ah~ What are you doing~" Xu Youyu covered her chest with both hands, on the verge of tears. "Our relationship has come to this point, there's no need to continue. Get out, get out!"

As Xu Youyu struggled and resisted, Li Luo had already pinned her down and started to bully her.

Xu Youyu gasped for breath, her resistance growing weaker and weaker until finally only whimpering remained.

It wasn't until Li Luo reached under the pillow and expertly pulled out a plastic square that Xu Youyu was shocked and quickly begged for mercy: "No, no, no! I was wrong, I was wrong! I was just joking, why did you take it seriously?"

"Xixi went to take a shower, and Zhusheng is still in the piano room," Li Luo chuckled. "Aren't you going to do some morning exercises? Otherwise, someone will keep complaining that I don't want her anymore."

"No, no, not at all~" Xu Youyu quickly smiled apologetically, deftly taking the plastic square and stuffing it back under her pillow. "I'll get up right away. I still have to go to Huanhuan's place, don't keep her waiting." Under Li Luo's big stick threat, Xu Youyu finally got out of bed and hurriedly went into the bathroom to wash up in her slippers.

After Ying Chanxi finished taking a bath and changing into new clothes, the others were almost ready, and the four of them got out of the car and set off.

Because Xu Youyu preferred to drive, they chose Xu Youyu's BMW. After the four of them got into the car, Xu Youyu drove towards Tianlu Yaju.

At 8:30 a.m., Li Luo and the other three arrived at the entrance of the basement of Xu Yinghuan's house.

Zhao Rongjun had already arrived, along with Ren Zheng.

On the contrary, Qiao Xinyan seemed to be nowhere to be seen.

"Where are the people from Xinyan?"

After entering the house, Ying Chanxi did not see Qiao Xinyan and asked Xu Yinghuan in confusion.

"She said she had an appointment to go out today, so she couldn't come over." Xu Yinghuan scratched her head. "I thought she had an appointment with you, Xixi."

"She didn't tell me," Ying Chanxi said, a little puzzled. "What could she possibly have to do on the weekend? Before, she just went with me to help Li Luo's company with some tasks and training."

"I don't know, maybe she made plans to go out with her friends from university," Xu Yinghuan said, shaking her head.

Upon hearing her words, Ying Chanxi fell into deep thought and a guess immediately formed in his mind.

What college friends... Since Qiao Xinyan started college, she has basically been with her all the time, except for eating with Lin Zhixia and Jiang Lai at school.

But Lin Zhixia usually spends all her time in the library.

Jiang Lai was very busy, either selling things, working on her Douyin account, or going on dates with boys. She had no time to go out with Qiao Xinyan.

Thinking about it this way, Ying Chanxi glanced at Xu Yinghuan, who was interacting intimately with Zhao Rongjun, and immediately gave up the idea of ​​asking Qiao Xinyan.

"You've come at the perfect time, I really can't hold it in anymore." Ren Zheng, sitting on the living room sofa, waved to Li Luo and the others, suppressing a laugh, and said, "Come on, give them some advice, how should this advertisement be filmed?"

"So what kind of advertisement did you take on?" Li Luo followed Xu Yinghuan and Zhao Rongjun into the living room and immediately noticed the two large boxes of cookies on the coffee table.

"This is it," Xu Yinghuan said, pointing to the cookies on the coffee table. "These cookies are quite delicious, but they were a bit difficult to film properly."

"Tell me in detail." Li Luo had plenty of time today and wasn't in a hurry. He plopped down on the sofa, and Ying Chanxi and Yan Zhusheng quickly took the seats on either side of him.

Xu Youyu didn't take it seriously, strolled over to the single sofa next to him, sat down, took a bag of cookies, opened it and tasted them: "Hmm, not bad."

“Right, right,” Xu Yinghuan said with a smile. “Actually, recently, several businesses have contacted us, saying they can place advertisements.”

"However, I also listened to what Li Luo had told me beforehand, and I didn't blindly accept advertisements."

“Recently, I’ve been buying products from businesses that advertise, and this cookie seems the most reliable one.”

Li Luo nodded, indicating that he understood the background, and then continued to ask, "So what is the method of this advertising cooperation?"

"We need to insert product placements into the storyline," Xu Yinghuan said. "And then we need to connect it with a short voiceover."

How much money was given?

"Five thousand!" Xu Yinghuan said excitedly. "We only have twenty thousand fans, and we actually managed to get a commercial order for five thousand. I was shocked."

"That's pretty normal." Li Luo smiled. "Your account's fan engagement seems pretty good. Are the comments and likes on your videos usually quite high?"

"I hadn't paid much attention to that, but there should be quite a lot," Xu Yinghuan blinked and recalled for a moment.

"Then let's film it," Li Luo said. "It's easy to insert cookies into a video, isn't it? What were you filming just now?"

"It's just a short scene," Xu Yinghuan said, pulling Zhao Rongjun along. "I was just leaning back on the sofa pretending to watch TV, and then I asked Ajun if he had any good snacks, and then Ajun recommended this cookie to me."

"You're being too deliberate..." Li Luo said helplessly, "Was Brother Jun's expression particularly stiff when he was acting?"

“That’s not just stiff,” Ren Zheng laughed, “it’s almost like a zombie.”

"Ren Zheng, what are you saying?" Xu Yinghuan pouted in dissatisfaction. "A-Jun has already tried his best, okay?"

"Alright, alright." Li Luo waved his hand and suggested directly, "Just stick to the previous video style. Don't let this requirement for inserting soft advertisements lead you astray."

"Then what do you suggest we do?" Xu Yinghuan asked.

"Isn't that simple?" Li Luo smiled and waved to Xu Yinghuan, then whispered a few words to her.

Xu Yinghuan nodded repeatedly after hearing this, her eyes gradually brightening: "This seems pretty good?"

"It's just a slight improvement, nothing more than playing to our strengths and minimizing our weaknesses, and trying to make Jun-ge make fewer expressions and movements," Li Luo said casually. "The plot development definitely needs you to take the lead."

"Got it, got it, let's try again!" Xu Yinghuan immediately perked up and pulled Zhao Rongjun to sit on the sofa. "You all move aside and give us some space."

"So how do we act?" Zhao Rongjun was still a little at a loss.

"Oh, don't worry about it. Just react normally in a bit." Xu Yinghuan waved her hand, placed a bag of biscuits on the coffee table in front of the two of them, and then said to Zhao Rongjun, "Ajun, just reach for the biscuits in a bit, then open them and eat them yourself."

"Oh."

"Let's begin then." Ren Zheng picked up Xu Yinghuan's phone and turned on the video recording mode. "Let's start filming."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Rongjun did as Xu Yinghuan instructed, reaching for the biscuit, unwrapping it, and eating one.

At this moment, Xu Yinghuan, who was pretending to watch TV, glanced at the biscuits in Zhao Rongjun's hand. Seeing that he had taken another one and put it in his mouth, she immediately turned to the side, leaned over, opened her mouth, and snatched half of it back.

"Um...you..." Zhao Rongjun was so flustered by her actions that his face turned red.

The fact that there were other people watching made him even more embarrassed.

But Xu Yinghuan just kept eating the cookie, pursing her lips: "This cookie tastes pretty good, A-Jun, do you have any more?"

"Hmm..." Zhao Rongjun raised the biscuit in his hand and handed it over.

But Xu Yinghuan brushed Zhao Rongjun's hand away, leaned down and pressed her lips against his, snatching the remaining half from his mouth.

"It's really delicious." Xu Ying said with a smile, then took the cookies from Zhao Rongjun's hand, glanced at the brand, turned around, and introduced them to the camera.

After finishing the voiceover, Ren Zheng pressed the end button.

Xu Yinghuan jumped up with a cheer, while Zhao Rongjun next to her breathed a sigh of relief.

The whole process was actually quite simple. Li Luo simply asked Zhao Rongjun to reduce the amount of acting he had to do, and the whole thing was based on his genuine emotions.

But it is precisely this "realism" that is what touches Douyin viewers the most.

Apart from that, the rest can be supported by Xu Yinghuan.

Li Luo, who was watching Xu Yinghuan and Zhao Rongjun finish filming, fell into deep thought.

He thought about what Li Guoru had mentioned to him last night, and also about Xu Rongsheng's bid for dean of the School of Literature.

A single scholarship is definitely not enough.

that……

Li Luo had many ideas in mind, but only a few clues.

Seeing him deep in thought, Xu Youyu asked curiously, "What are you thinking about? The filming turned out pretty good, didn't it?"

"Thinking about something else." Li Luo looked out the window into the distance, then smiled and teased Xu Youyu, "Thinking about how to bribe my father-in-law."
