Rekindling the Youthful Era

Chapter 768 If there are any more, I'll kill him.
Li Luo has recently attended several dinner parties with Ying Zhicheng.

They are mostly people from various aspects related to the "Beginning" project.

When preparing for "A Little Reunion", Ying Zhicheng handled all these off-screen factors single-handedly and managed them very well.

Now that Li Luo is working alongside Ying Zhicheng and has truly come into contact with him, he has come to realize how many subtle confrontations and maneuvers have taken place between them.

Ying Zhicheng told him to talk less at the dinner table, so Li Luo sat quietly to the side and listened. He would only respond briefly when Ying Zhicheng gave him a signal. Most of the time, he would just eat while listening to Ying Zhicheng talk to others.

His job was to sit on the sidelines and drink with the customers.

Many times, Li Luo didn't catch the unspoken meanings at the dinner table until Ying Zhicheng pointed them out after the meal ended and they got back to the car.

It turns out there are so many different ways to ask for benefits.

After dinner that night, Li Luo left with Ying Zhicheng, enjoying the night breeze on the street, and walked back to the car.

After getting into the car, Li Luo sat in the back seat with Ying Zhicheng as the driver started the car, chatting all the way back to the company.

The dinner lasted for more than two hours, but the meal itself had already been finished long ago; the rest of the time was spent drinking and socializing.

When they got back to the company, their stomachs had mostly digested, so Ying Zhicheng took Li Luo directly to the boxing ring in the gym, quickly changed into boxing gear, and looked eager to try it out.

Li Luo smiled helplessly and had no choice but to go on stage to spar with Ying Zhicheng.

Ying Chanxi and Yan Zhusheng, who had been waiting at the company after dinner, came down to watch when they heard that Li Luo and the others had returned. Even Yuan Wanqing, Luo Fei, and Xiao Wen followed along out of curiosity.

After seeing the two boxers locked in a brutal fight on the ring, Yan Zhusheng looked at her older sister and whispered, "Does Dad know something? He looked so fierce when he hit Li Luo."

"Is this how boxing is?" Ying Chanxi herself was a little doubtful, but she still explained a few words for her father, "I saw them fight like this last time, and Li Luo said it was fine."

Listening to her two daughters' conversation, Yuan Wanqing's expression faltered slightly. She quickly raised her hand to wipe her face, trying to hide her guilty conscience.

Yan Zhusheng secretly glanced at Yuan Wanqing, but couldn't see anything unusual on her mother's face, so she could only put aside her guesses for the time being.

When Li Luo and Ying Zhicheng came off the stage during the intermission, the two girls went up to them and handed them water and towels.

Looking at the bottled water his daughter handed him, Ying Zhicheng turned to look at Yan Zhusheng, who was handing water to Li Luo, and then couldn't help but click his tongue.

If it weren't for Yan Zhusheng, Ying Chanxi would probably have already turned around and handed water to Li Luo.

Thinking of this, Ying Zhicheng felt a surge of displeasure again.

His two precious daughters with Yuan Wanqing were seduced by Li Luo just like that. Those two straight punches just now were a bit too weak.

I should have used more force.

Ying Zhicheng was mentally planning how to punish Li Luo with boxing next time, feeling that Li Luo's boxing skills were getting better and better.

Having immersed myself in this field for many years, how many times have I fought him before? And yet, I can only barely suppress him.

This kid, how come he seems to learn and master everything so quickly?
Even in terms of interpersonal relationships, Ying Zhicheng only took him out to participate in a few dinner parties recently, and he has already absorbed and learned a lot of experience.

Although he could tell that Li Luo was quite resistant to this kind of thing, young people are all like that.

Young people like Li Luo, who have achieved success at a young age, are especially intolerant of this kind of thing.

But allowing him to be exposed to these things earlier will also benefit his future development.

Ying Zhicheng thought that he could avoid too much contact with the company in the future, but he couldn't be completely ignorant of it.

Anyway, he's still a long way from retirement, so naturally he can take the lead in these matters in the future.

However, one day in the future, Li Luo will have to face these kinds of things on his own, so it's always a good thing to get some experience early.

Thinking of this, Ying Zhicheng sat down on the sofa, leaned against Yuan Wanqing, and let out a long sigh of relief.

Then Yuan Wanqing said from the side, "Has he vented his frustration?"

"What frustration?" Ying Zhicheng scoffed. "Do you think I'm such a petty person?"

“You are indeed magnanimous in other aspects, but when it comes to your daughter, it’s obviously a different story.” Yuan Wanqing said with a helpless smile, “Don’t get angry. If you hurt someone, it will be your own daughter who will be heartbroken.”

Upon hearing this, Ying Zhicheng's lips twitched: "I went easy on you, do you think I wouldn't have shown some restraint?"

That's what they say... but in reality, if Ying Zhicheng doesn't go all out, he really won't be able to deal with Li Luo.

This kid's boxing style isn't very offensive, but he's really good at defense. Ying Zhicheng might only be able to hit a relatively weak spot once out of ten punches.

Li Luo defended against everything else.

If they still let him off the hook, how will he vent his anger?

I'm afraid Li Luo is going to vent his anger on me.

"So you're agreeing?" Yuan Wanqing glanced at the people on the other sofa, then asked softly, "About Xixi, Zhusheng, and Li Luo."

"I didn't say anything." Ying Zhicheng narrowed his eyes and saw Ying Chanxi and Yan Zhusheng sitting on either side of Li Luo, one handing him water and the other feeding him fruit. His fingers gripping the towel tightened a little.

Seeing his stubbornness, Yuan Wanqing understood what he was thinking.

In fact, neither Yuan Wanqing nor Ying Zhicheng had any solutions to this problem.

Neither of them are the type of parents who are very strict about their children's upbringing.

Especially after working in the entertainment industry for a long time, one's thinking becomes more open.

If you follow too much gossip about celebrities around you, your own values ​​will be subtly influenced.

So after careful consideration, the two of them could easily realize that, putting aside the fact that he was two-timing, Li Luo was indeed a very outstanding person.

They were so outstanding that it would be difficult for them to find someone of their age who could surpass Li Luo in every aspect.

Li Luo may not be the most talented, the richest, or the youngest, but if you compare him across multiple dimensions, he is a true all-rounder.

There are no particularly obvious flaws.

Even when it came to matters of the heart, Li Luo, despite having two relationships, did not achieve his goal by deceiving his two daughters.

Ying Chanxi and Yan Zhusheng both know each other's thoughts and have even accepted each other's existence.

The three of them have already progressed to this point, so as parents, how can we possibly object?
Yuan Wanqing couldn't have imagined it, and neither could Ying Zhicheng.

Now that Li Luo has bought and renovated the villa, once they can move in after a while, Ying Chanxi and Yan Zhusheng will no longer be considered tenants.

After graduating from university, Ying Chanxi will take over the reinvigoration of culture, and Yan Zhusheng can sing the songs that Li Luo wrote for him properly.

These three people are a perfect match, and their future happiness seems entirely predictable after they started living together.

Finding a partner for my daughter is all for her to live a happy life in the future, isn't it?
If we can achieve this goal, what does the process matter?
Having figured this out, Ying Zhicheng had essentially accepted the relationship between the three of them.

As a father, he still finds it hard to accept that his two daughters have to share the same man, letting this bastard enjoy the bliss of having two wives. That's why Ying Zhicheng gets angry whenever he sees Li Luo.

I wanted to punch him in the face twice.

Wearing boxing gloves and exchanging blows just doesn't feel quite right.

"Alright, you've rested enough. I'll challenge him to another match." Ying Zhicheng didn't want to continue the topic and immediately stood up.

But Yuan Wanqing pulled him to sit down again: "Don't rush, they're busy."

"Huh?" Ying Zhicheng was taken aback for a moment. After being pulled back to the sofa by Yuan Wanqing, he looked towards Li Luo.

By this time, Li Luo and the others had already stood up. Ying Chanxi, who was standing next to him, had even put on a boxing suit and enthusiastically followed Li Luo onto the boxing ring, huffing and puffing as she punched him. However, Li Luo defended very well, perfectly parrying all of Ying Chanxi's attacks.

This left Ying Chanxi slightly unsatisfied, so she went to the edge of the boxing ring and challenged Yan Zhusheng below the ring: "Zhusheng, come on over, let's have a boxing match. Li Luo is too strong, it's not fun."

Yan Zhusheng received a boxing challenge from her older sister and immediately narrowed her eyes suspiciously, saying, "Sister, you just want to hit me, right?"

"What do you mean?" Ying Chanxi looked guilty and immediately denied it. "It's just for exercise, are you scared?"

"I'm not coming," Yan Zhusheng shook her head and refused. "It wouldn't be good if I made my sister cry."

"Who will make whom cry is still uncertain!" Ying Chanxi said angrily, her eyes wide. "If you're so capable, come up here."

"Do not hit."

"It's boring." Ying Chanxi pouted, a slightly regretful expression on her face.

Watching the three children interacting harmoniously, Ying Zhicheng sighed softly, his face filled with emotion, "How did it turn out like this?"

"Actually, when you think about it carefully, there's nothing wrong with it," Yuan Wanqing said softly, resting her face on her hands and knees, looking in that direction.

“Men’s desires are hard to fathom.” Ying Zhicheng’s gaze towards Li Luo deepened, and he whispered to Yuan Wanqing, “If that’s all, then so be it. But if he dares to touch other women outside again, I’ll kill him.”

Yuan Wanqing: "...Li Luo is not that kind of person."

"I hope he isn't," Ying Zhicheng scoffed.

……

Thursday, March 11th.

Two days passed.

Li Luo accompanied Xu Youyu to class in the morning.

This time, it was finally Xu Youyu's turn to give a presentation on online literature elective course.

After Si Huanian finished teaching, he said a few words and then asked Xu Youyu to come up to the stage.

Li Luo listened from below the stage as she gave a long presentation about "I'm Really Not a Star".

There are analyses of pure content creation, as well as marketing analyses that link song releases in books with real-life song releases.

Although Xu Youyu initially created the content with the intention of retaliating against Li Luo, as she prepared, it all turned into praise.

Moreover, Li Luo has now completely exposed his identity as Chongran in class.

No matter what Xu Youyu said, it didn't seem to have much power.

So much so that when she finished her speech and returned to the audience, she was still a little unwilling.

"I should have told Dad beforehand," Xu Youyu said somewhat sullenly, "and told him not to expose you so early."

"If I were to say during my presentation, 'Reignition is actually one of us,'..."

"Wow, that scene, that effect, it was absolutely explosive."

"If you want to dream, go home and go to sleep early," Li Luo chuckled.

The two were bickering and chatting when Xu Youyu leaned close to his ear and said, "When we get home this afternoon, I'll show you what I'm capable of."

"Can some people please stop being so arrogant every time? In the end, all they have to do is talk."

"You know I'm the best talker, huh?" Xu Youyu snorted. "Aren't Xixi and Zhusheng good at it too?"

The way he drove almost overwhelmed Li Luo.

Although he did make comparisons in his mind, he was still a little embarrassed to say them out loud.

"I should be going to Jingzhao City around the middle of the month." After class, on the way to the cafeteria with Xu Youyu, Li Luo said to her, "Do you want to come along and do some shopping?"

How many days are you going?

"It might take about a week?" Li Luo estimated. "We need to select the male lead for the new drama."

“You’re off to take care of important business, so I won’t go over.” Xu Youyu shook her head, then hugged his arm tightly and said softly, “But you’ll have to make up for the week’s worth of work in advance these next few days.”

After having lunch in the cafeteria, the two went home for a nap.

If Li Luo hadn't had another class to teach in the evening, Xu Youyu probably would have lost her voice from shouting.

After finishing her evening classes, Li Luo and her roommates had dinner and then returned to their dormitory together.

As soon as he returned, he was surrounded by Wen Zexuan and two others, who cornered him at his desk.

"What are you doing?" Li Luo asked, looking puzzled.

"Brother Luo is really a busy man." Wen Zexuan chuckled. "It's one thing to not be in the dorm on weekends, but he didn't come back to sleep for three days in a row on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. He must be working very hard."

"Just get to the point," Li Luo said with a chuckle. "Stop beating around the bush."

He didn't come to the dorm much this week. He was dragged home by Xu Youyu on Monday night, and on Tuesday it was Ying Chanxi and Yan Zhusheng who came.

Yesterday, Yan Zhusheng secretly went to find him and take him home.

Today was supposed to be Xu Youyu's turn, but Li Luo only went back to her dorm after she made Xu Youyu cry and beg for mercy all afternoon.

I am indeed quite busy.

"Brother Luo." Cheng Xin, who was standing next to him, wasn't as sarcastic, but couldn't suppress his curiosity and asked, "Where were you last Saturday afternoon at the music festival?"

"I'm not anywhere, I'm with the band."

"Did you go to a music festival alone with anyone?"

"Uh……"

"Alright, alright, why are you being so long-winded?" Wen Zexuan waved his hand and asked directly, "The other day, Cheng Xin and I saw a couple wearing masks. Was that you and Yan Zhusheng?"

Upon hearing this, Li Luo fell silent, surprised that the two of them had noticed.

Several days passed, and Li Luo still thought they hadn't noticed.

"Is it true or not?" Cheng Xin asked anxiously when he saw that he didn't speak for a moment.

But Wen Zexuan, standing to the side, let out a long sigh, turned around with a look of utter despair, and waved his hand: "If he doesn't dare to answer, what other answer could he possibly have?"

"Really?" Bai Haoran was still a little incredulous. "Li Luo really has three girlfriends?"

"Since you've all found out, then I won't hide it anymore..." Li Luo coughed helplessly. "Anyway, that's how it is. Just don't spread it around."

Upon hearing Li Luo's admission, Cheng Xin felt his entire worldview was violently shaken.

The thought of Li Luo being able to date and be intimate with three such outstanding and beautiful girls every day made Cheng Xin feel incredibly envious.

At this moment, Wen Zexuan turned to Li Luo and asked in a low voice, "Brother Luo, tell me honestly, is there a fourth one?"

“This time it’s really over…” Li Luo held up three fingers and coughed as he said, “There are only three left.”

“Three it is fine.” Bai Haoran complained from his chair, “You’d better not use the phrase ‘only’.”
