Rekindling the Youthful Era

Chapter 775 In front of Xixi
Sunday morning.

Li Luo woke up early as usual, went downstairs for a morning run around West Lake, and then returned to the room with breakfast, where she teased Xu Youyu.

"What time is it?" Xu Youyu was still a little groggy, and reluctantly sat up from the bed, munching on the breakfast that Li Luo handed to her.

"It's past eight o'clock. Let's check out and go home after we finish eating."

"Isn't your plane supposed to take off at 1 a.m.?" Xu Youyu yawned. "Then as long as I get home by 11 p.m., it'll be fine. Let me sleep a little longer."

"I still need to pack my luggage when I get home."

"Xixi has definitely already packed everything for you." After a quick breakfast, Xu Youyu pulled Li Luo back to bed. After cuddling for a while, they went back to sleep and didn't get up again until 9:30.

While washing up in the bathroom, Xu Youyu brushed her teeth in front of the mirror, glanced at Li Luo standing behind her, and couldn't help but chuckle twice.

"why are you laughing?"

"I'm a little smug."

"How to say?"

Xu Youyu did not answer, but simply raised his arm, extended four fingers, and made a "four" gesture towards the mirror.

"What do you mean?"

"Four times, huh?" Xu Youyu turned to Li Luo and winked. "Don't let me drain you dry, okay? Can your body handle it?"

"It's alright, better than some people begging for mercy in bed." Li Luo chuckled, then straightened up behind Xu Youyu, leaned close to her ear and breathed hot air, saying, "I can help you put your fifth finger up now."

"No!" Xu Youyu was pushed away and quickly ran to the side. "Don't do anything reckless. It's almost ten o'clock now. It won't be good if you miss your flight."

"Shall we finish this quickly?"

"Get out of here!"

After Xu Youyu begged for mercy, Li Luo finally let her go.

After the two went downstairs to check out, Xu Youyu drove Li Luo to Bihai Lanting.

I arrived home safely at 10:30.

Ying Chanxi and Yan Zhusheng had been waiting for a long time. The two sat on the sofa with three suitcases next to them.

When they heard the sound of the door opening, Ying Chanxi and Yan Zhusheng both stood up and walked towards the door.

"Hello~" Xu Youyu walked in from outside with a rosy complexion. When she saw Ying Chanxi and Yan Zhusheng walking towards her, she went up to greet them with a smile and hugged Ying Chanxi. "Did you miss me, Chanxi?"

"Ugh..." Ying Chanxi was speechless for a moment because of Xu Youyu's suffocation. She could only struggle slightly, and out of the corner of her eye, she saw that Yan Zhusheng had already rushed into Li Luo's arms.

"I miss you so much." Yan Zhusheng snuggled against Li Luo's chest, and then, feeling that it wasn't enough, she tilted her head up and gestured towards Li Luo with her lips.

Li Luo chuckled and lowered his head to kiss her thin lips.

"More."

Li Luo kissed him a few more times, but in the end, Yan Zhusheng hugged her neck and nibbled at her for a while before she was satisfied with her longing.

After Yan Zhusheng left Li Luo's embrace, she turned her head and saw Ying Chanxi's resentful gaze.

"Your sister misses you too," Yan Zhusheng said understandingly. "Li Luo, why don't you go and give your sister a kiss too?"

"I wasn't thinking about him at all!" Ying Chanxi walked away angrily. "Who wanted him to kiss me?"

“That’s how my sister is,” Yan Zhusheng added mercilessly from the side. “Even though Li Luo isn’t here, she still insists on sleeping in the master bedroom, and she even wants to bring her panda plushie with her.”

"You, you stop talking..." Ying Chanxi blushed instantly after being told that, and quickly pulled Yan Zhusheng away, telling her not to say anything more.

Li Luo found the interaction between the two amusing, and then handed over the clothes that Xu Youyu had bought for him: "Please put these clothes away for me, and take both of them with you."

"You bought this for me, senior?" Ying Chanxi reached out and took the clothes, then turned around and opened Li Luo's suitcase, stuffing the two sets of clothes inside. She then added, "I packed everything for you: laptop, charging cable, keyboard, mouse, and spare underwear and socks. See if you need anything else?"

Li Luo glanced at it casually and nodded to indicate that there was no problem.

Anyway, Ying Chanxi usually packs his luggage for him. If Li Luo were to prepare it himself now, it might not be as complete as what Ying Chanxi prepared.

Things like nail clippers, razors, face wash, and umbrellas are things that Li Luo sometimes forgets.

It was only because Ying Chanxi was able to take care of everything for him, leaving nothing out.

So, taking advantage of Xu Youyu's need to go to the restroom, Yan Zhusheng also said she needed to go to the restroom, and Li Luo came to Ying Chanxi's side and pulled her into his arms.

"What are you doing~" Ying Chanxi leaned against him, her hands on Li Luo's shoulders, seemingly both resisting and welcoming.

Li Luo chuckled and lowered his head, kissing the girl's soft lips before pressing his forehead against hers and asking, "Did you miss me?"

"No."

Hearing her answer, Li Luo kissed her again and asked once more, "Did you miss me?"

"No." Ying Chanxi turned her head away, refusing to look at him.

Li Luo then pinched her chin and turned her back, giving her another kiss.

"Have you missed me at all?"

"I didn't miss you." Ying Chanxi hummed, probably knowing that if she continued to be stubborn, Li Luo would keep kissing her, so she just wouldn't admit it.

But Li Luo didn't kiss her again this time. He just released Ying Chanxi with some regret and disappointment, sighed and said, "It seems you really didn't think about it. I'm a little sad."

Seeing that Li Luo was no longer affectionate, Ying Chanxi became anxious. She quickly grabbed Li Luo's clothes and leaned into his arms again, whispering, "I was just saying, you actually took it seriously."

"So, have you thought about it or not?" Li Luo hugged her tightly, rested his chin on Ying Chanxi's head, and chuckled softly, "I want to hear the truth."

"Think~"

"What are you thinking about?"

"Miss you~"

"How much do you think?"

"I want to so much!" Ying Chanxi's voice grew louder and louder, but she buried her face in Li Luo's chest, as if only in this way could she have enough courage.

Having gotten the answer he wanted, Li Luo loosened his grip slightly, then lifted Ying Chanxi's snow-white chin with one hand and lowered his head to kiss her soft, fragrant lips forcefully. After a long while, when she heard the bathroom door open from the other side of the corridor, Ying Chanxi reluctantly broke free from Li Luo's embrace, pursed her lips, and whispered, "That's about enough... It's time to... it's time to go."

"Let's go, let's go." Xu Youyu glanced at Yan Zhusheng, who had just come out of the master bedroom, and then at Ying Chanxi's rosy lips. She waved her hand with a smile and said, "Let's go, I'm taking you to the airport."

……

After the four of them went downstairs and put their suitcases in the trunk, Xu Youyu drove them toward the airport.

Li Luo sat in the middle of the back seat, sandwiched between Ying Chanxi and Yan Zhusheng, helplessly enjoying the pleasure of being surrounded by women on both sides.

On the way, Ying Chanxi would occasionally probe them, asking what they had been doing these past two days.

As Xu Youyu listened to Li Luo rambling on, he rolled his eyes while driving, thinking to himself, what else could Li Luo do but get things done? He was just busy doing nothing.

Yan Zhusheng held onto Li Luo's arm, nodding occasionally to show her trust, and made no mention of the fact that Li Luo and Xu Youyu were secretly clapping on the other end of the phone.

Ying Chanxi believed it to be true and felt that it wasn't a big deal, which made him feel much more at ease.

Thinking about this trip to Jingzhao City, even though there was a little sister accompanying them, it was still a rare trip for Li Luo, and his mood brightened up.

Having successfully evaded the question, Li Luo smoothly changed the subject, asking Ying Chanxi, "What's the itinerary for this trip to Jingzhao City?"

"Just in case, we've booked a week this time." Ying Chanxi immediately became serious when talking about work-related matters, and honestly explained, "But under normal circumstances, we shouldn't need to talk for that long."

"The contract details with Douyin were all finalized back in Yuhang City."

"This trip to Jingzhao City to sign the contract was just a formality, and also a chance to get to know the senior leaders of Douyin and become familiar with them."

"After all, with a celebrity like Aunt Yuan staying here, they actually take it quite seriously, and the meeting should be quite high-level."

"Tomorrow is Monday. The signing ceremony will be held in the afternoon at a venue arranged by Douyin, followed by a banquet in the evening."

According to Douyin, once the contract is signed, they hope to start preparing for the recording of the new song as soon as possible.

"So starting Tuesday, Aunt Yuan and Zhusheng will be spending the next few days in the recording studio they've prepared."

"We'll finish work when the recording is complete."

"In addition, they will also provide some short video scripts. We hope that you can shoot some short video content according to the scripts they provide."

"Of course, this is not mandatory. Aunt Yuan has recently recruited several professional photographers and editors. It's better if we control the content of the short videos ourselves."

Ying Chanxi spoke with great seriousness, clearly explaining Douyin's plans. After a slight pause, she continued, "As for Director Wang, the preliminary auditions have already concluded."

"He has already selected about twenty suitable candidates, and they will conduct further screening this Wednesday. You should go and take a look then."

"After narrowing down the candidates to five or less, I will bring people to contact them and discuss the intentions and conditions of the companies they wish to sign with. Finally, I will leave it to you to make the final decision and see who is the most suitable."

After listening, Li Luo nodded to show that he understood, put his right arm around Ying Chanxi and patted her head, and said with a smile, "As expected of Xixi, you've thought of everything very thoroughly."

"It's all very simple stuff," Ying Chanxi said modestly, lowering her head, but she really enjoyed Li Luo's praise and pats, gently nudging his warm palm with her head, just like a docile little kitten.

After finishing their business, the group chatted casually in the car, discussing which places in Jingzhao City they could visit if they had extra time on the weekend after work.

As Xu Youyu was driving towards the airport, Ying Chanxi suddenly remembered something and reminded Li Luo, "There's one more thing I forgot to mention."

"Didn't Douyin say they were going to spend eight million to sign Ruan Lin?"

"Later, you asked Director Wang to recommend two actors from 'A Little Reunion' to contact Douyin."

"Recently, Douyin has found several other actors from 'A Little Reunion,' and it is said that they have taken on all the members of the three families in the show."

"They're probably planning a marketing campaign around the 'A Little Reunion' IP, and it looks like they're going to make quite a splash."

"Oh, this?" Li Luo nodded to indicate that she understood. "It's a good thing, so let Douyin handle it."

These kinds of situations are always win-win situations when they are done together.

Douyin leveraged the popularity and influence of "A Little Reunion" to expand its reach and attract more users.

"A Little Reunion" can also leverage platforms like Douyin to expand its audience and further enhance its brand influence.

Although the premiere of "A Little Reunion" ended several months ago, the discussion surrounding it has remained high in recent months.

The subsequent rounds of television broadcasts, along with the new viewers attracted by word of mouth, have continuously expanded the potential of "A Little Reunion".

After several months of preparation, "A Little Reunion" is like a fine wine, getting better with age.

For Li Luo, this not only enhances the brand effect of "A Little Reunion", but also brings tangible future benefits.

Whether it's advertising revenue sharing or the sale of carousel rights, there's a very strong long-tail effect, which can provide him with a continuous stream of income.

Furthermore, Ruan Lin will also play the female lead in "The Beginning". As long as the popularity of "A Little Reunion" continues, there will be no shortage of viewership when "The Beginning" is released next year.

"Here we are."

Xu Youyu drove to the airport entrance, parked the car, and got out to help take out all the suitcases.

With a week to go before they parted ways, even Xu Youyu couldn't help but feel a little reluctant to leave.

So just as Ying Chanxi and Yan Zhusheng were carrying their suitcases and walking onto the pedestrian walkway, Xu Youyu grabbed Li Luo's arm and walked up to him.

Xu Youyu straightened Li Luo's collar with both hands, leaned into his arms, and whispered, "You have two younger sisters with you, so don't get too carried away. Call me when you miss me."

"Ah."

Li Luo also reached out and hugged Xu Youyu, responding gently.

Upon seeing this, Ying Chanxi immediately turned his head away, preferring to ignore it.

Yan Zhusheng watched indifferently, unwilling to miss any opportunity to learn.

"Senior sister." In the end, Ying Chanxi couldn't help but remind the two who were still being all lovey-dovey, "You can't park here for too long."

"I understand." Xu Youyu glanced at Ying Chanxi, then chuckled, wrapped his arms around Li Luo's neck, and deliberately kissed Li Luo's lips forcefully in front of Ying Chanxi.

Upon seeing this, Ying Chanxi immediately pouted, but didn't say anything. She just hummed and turned away, refusing to look.

If you can't see it, just pretend nothing happened.
