Huayu: Live a carefree life

Lu Jie and his group grabbed a quick bite at a highway service area along the way. By the time they arrived at the film set, it was already 3 p.m. Chen Yao had already removed her makeup and gone back to her RV to rest.

After arranging for people to distribute drinks and fruit, and chatting with the director for a few minutes, Qin Lu then announced the dinner gathering for the evening, thus concluding the official set visit.

Once inside the RV, Chen Yao was resting peacefully on her side in bed, breathing evenly and with a serene expression.

Her delicate little face was so endearing that Lu Jie couldn't resist giving her a quick kiss.

"Hmm~ Honey, you're here~" Chen Yao was a little dazed, but when she saw that it was Lu Jie, her expression immediately changed to one of joy.

She made room for Lu Jie to lie down as well, saying, "Honey, you must be tired from the journey~"

Lu Jie kicked off his shoes, hugged her, and kissed her. "The driver is the one who works hard. I don't have to drive. I'll lie down with you for a while, and we'll go eat after the crew wraps up."

"Mmm." Chen Yao gently hummed in agreement, consciously freeing herself from her restraints, turning around and leaning her back against her boyfriend, letting him do as he pleased.

Although Lu Jie was in control, he did not take any further action; he simply held Chen Yao and slept.

After all, no matter how soundproof a motorhome is, some things will still leak out. He wasn't interested in broadcasting it live, nor was he that impatient.

After sleeping until 4:30, we got up, washed up a bit, and then the two of us left the RV to stroll around the Sandu Pingyan Scenic Area, where the film crew was located that day.

Chen Yao said that the weather these days is neither too hot nor too cold, so she will prioritize finishing filming the outdoor scenes.

While chatting, she also took various selfies with Lu Jie on her arm. She didn't post them on her WeChat Moments, but instead shared them in the three of them's "Yao Xin Ruo Xue" group chat.

In the early hours of the morning, the enthusiastic Xiao Hu immediately invited all three parties to a video call to wish her a happy birthday.

When the video call came in, Lu Jie was tutoring Wang Churan in practicing her lines, so he simply offered his congratulations and said he would come over to surprise her today before hanging up.

Although Wang Churan's face wasn't shown, we could still see her practicing her lines.

However, they didn't say anything, since they knew perfectly well what kind of person Lu Jie was, and they were just happy as long as their share of the rations wasn't lacking.

As dusk fell and the mountain air grew cooler, the two returned to the parking lot and headed ahead of the main group to a restaurant on Hengdian Street.

Because we've been busy filming outdoor scenes recently, we agreed beforehand that we could drink alcohol, but not too much, so as not to affect tomorrow's work.

The three young male actors ate a little something and then left, making an excuse that they had to film an early scene the next day. Xu Kai was slightly better off, but the second and third male leads still didn't dare to look him in the eye.

Lu Jie knew the reason, but the other party hadn't done anything wrong, unlike those foreigners who were just messing around with crickets last time.

And since they've been keeping a low profile since they know Chen Yao and Xiao Hu can't be offended, there's no need to keep harping on it, after all, the two women haven't suffered any losses.

At 8:15, Xiao Wu reminded Lu Jie, and then quietly took Chen Yao and left.

Returning to the VIP hotel where the film crew was staying in less than ten minutes, Chen Yao thought Lu Jie was too eager for her and planned to practice her lines as soon as she entered the room.

As a result, Lu Jie, both amused and exasperated, pulled her to the window and turned off the lights in the room.

At 8:30, fireworks began to be set off at the Qingming Riverside Scene scenic area, which is directly opposite the window.

Chen Yao immediately understood that this was a surprise from Lu Jie, and happily threw herself into his arms and gave him a passionate kiss.

Fireworks outside were dazzling, illuminating the dark room.

Inside, they continued their passionate kiss, their intertwined silhouettes reflected in the glass.

Every breath carried a scalding temperature, exchanging souls within that small space.

The brilliant fireworks seemed to be silenced, leaving only the rapid and powerful beating of each other's hearts.

At this moment, time seemed to stand still, and the world consisted only of the two people immersed in love.

After kissing for a while, Lu Jie noticed that the drones had finished assembling, so he asked Chen Yao to keep an eye on them.

The drones arranged themselves into shapes like a birthday cake, then set off fireworks in the air, finally spelling out the words "Happy Birthday".

Actually, they could have used drones to create a likeness of Chen Yao, but that would have been too high-profile. Lu Jie wouldn't mind, but Chen Yao would have faced a lot of pressure.

Therefore, Lu Jie ultimately only had the drone performance company write "Happy Birthday" on the screen, without even revealing to them who the birthday celebration was for.

This fireworks and drone show cost nearly 20 million yuan, and preparations began as early as the day it was launched.

But seeing Chen Yao's heart-shaped expression of satisfaction, Lu Jie felt that the small amount of money was well spent. It seemed like he could do this for every girl's birthday from now on.

Since things have come to this, let's continue making love happily.

We worked until dawn, and the plum blossoms bloomed a total of four times.

After several days of continuous work, Lu Jie, who had hardly felt tired, finally lost his biological clock for the first time.

He was woken up by Liu Haocun's barrage of phone calls, and when he answered, he heard a sullen, boyish voice on the other end.

"You jerk, you're so biased! I don't care, I want to see fireworks on my birthday too! I want twice as many as yesterday, or I'm ignoring you, hmph!"

Lu Jie readily agreed, saying he would definitely do it, and then became very curious about how she knew about it in the capital.

"Even the 'Big Eyes' (a nickname for a celebrity) is trending, although it's still in the speculation stage. The third trending topic is 'A wealthy man in Hengdian spent a fortune to celebrate his birthday with fireworks and drones.'"

"The fifth trending topic is which celebrity had their birthday yesterday. Chen Yao is one of the suspects, and now she is the prime suspect."

Chen Yao, who had also slowly woken up, quickly opened the Big Eyes app after hearing the news. Sure enough, her private messages had jumped to 999+, with a bunch of people tagging her and asking if it was to celebrate her birthday.

Chen Yao's mind hadn't quite registered anything yet, and she asked Lu Jie in a daze, "Honey, what should we do?"

Upon hearing Chen Yao's voice, Liu Haocun spat out "stinky Jie" again and hung up the phone. Anyway, Lu Jie was returning to Beijing today, so he could confront him directly.

Lu Jie smiled and gestured for her to calm down, then dialed Lin Zixian's number. "Zixian, suppress the trending topic. Don't let it affect Chen Yao."

"Don't worry, Mr. Lu, we're already suppressing it. Chen Yao's studio and the official Weibo account of the 'Spirit Sword Mountain' production team both posted group photos of last night's dinner."

"Is Teacher Chen Yao with you? It would be best if she could use her personal account to cooperate."

"By the way, Mr. Lu, it's good that you considered everything carefully; paparazzi have already contacted a drone show company."

Chen Yao also contacted her executive agent, who sent her relevant materials and scripts, which she only needed to copy and paste to make it look like a cartoon character.

Lu Jie yawned and laughed, "Zixian, write this down. I've thought of a possible plan."

"Hengdian is such a big place, and it's a tourist area. It's not just celebrities. We'll hire online trolls to stir up trouble this afternoon."

"They'll imply that the person is a nouveau riche or a wealthy businessman from Dongyang, saying it's for their girlfriend's birthday."

"There are so many people across the country who have their birthday on October 31st, anyone can say that without any evidence, right?"

Lin Zixian realized he was joking and thought the plan was good, so he agreed and hung up the phone.

After dealing with her agent, Chen Yao leaned closer again. "Honey, last night was the happiest birthday I've ever had. But..."

"But isn't that too high-profile?" Lu Jie rubbed her fair skin.

"It's okay, next time we won't show it in Hengdian, we'll show it in your hometown or mine~ Do you like that?"

"Mmm, I love it, hehe~" she said, leaning in to kiss Lu Jie.

Lu Jie quickly blocked her way, making Chen Yao pout angrily, "Even if it smells, it's all yours, why are you complaining?"

It's not that I dislike them, it's just that even a tiger wouldn't eat its own cubs.
