270: Chapter 270 Wait a little longer

"Xiao Yan, come visit us often when you have time. We're family, don't be too polite."

"Alright, Uncle. Once I return to Beijing, I have to head back to Guangdong Province to film tomorrow."

"Mhm, you have my WeChat, just let us know when you're done and back. Oh, and please send our regards to your parents when you go back."

"Alright, I definitely will. Uncle, Auntie, please don't come any further. It's quite late, and it's a bit chilly outside."

"Mhm, go on then. You two take care of each other."

Ruan Xingyu found that she couldn't even get a word in on the side.

The four of them parted ways at the elevator.

Once the elevator doors closed, Lin Chuyan, mindful of the surveillance cameras, held Ruan Xingyu's hand and restrained himself again and again, not hugging her. He also forced himself to stay silent—he was afraid that if he opened his mouth, he would start singing out loud:

"Today is a good day~~~ Everything I wish for can come true~~~"

"Today is a good day~~~ Open the door and we welcome the spring breeze~~~"

But no matter how much he tried to suppress the corners of his mouth, he couldn't stop them from curling all the way up to the sky.

He didn't speak, and Ruan Xingyu didn't speak either; she just looked at him and smiled.

When they returned home together, Lin Chuyan couldn't help but pull her into a hug: "How did your boyfriend perform tonight?"

Ruan Xingyu patted his head again: "Looks like a very good boy~ Although you acted a bit distant with me, which seemed a little deliberate, your ability to answer fluently while chatting with my parents definitely earned you bonus points~"

Now Lin Chuyan finally remembered.

He grabbed her hand: "You patted my head before we even entered my parents' home, and now you're doing it again?"

Ruan Xingyu felt mischievous. She didn't struggle, instead raising her other hand to pat him again: "I'm just gonna pat, I'm just gonna pat."

Then both of her hands were grabbed.

Lin Chuyan pulled her hands behind her back: "What about now?"

Ruan Xingyu raised her face, looking unconvinced: "What do you want to do?"

Smack.

Ruan Xingyu's face turned a bit red: "Lin Chuyan, you've got some nerve, acting like this right after we left my parents' home."

Smack.

Lin Chuyan delivered another hit, the force seeming a little heavier than before.

A wise woman doesn't fight a losing battle. Ruan Xingyu's face flushed even redder: "Good brother, I won't dare to do it next time."

Lin Chuyan was also feeling quite bold: "Good girl, call me 'husband' and I'll let you go."

A few seconds passed, and just when Lin Chuyan thought she was still mentally preparing herself, a soft voice suddenly reached his ear: "Husband."

Lin Chuyan stopped speaking, released her hands, wrapped his arms around her waist, and kissed her directly.

One stepped back, the other stepped forward, fumbling all the way until they reached the bedroom door.

A long while later.

"What time is your flight tomorrow?"

The shoot was the day after tomorrow, but Lin Chuyan had to leave tomorrow; he had to go a day early.

"Xia Zhi booked a flight for noon, so I have to get up in the morning."

"Have you packed your luggage yet?"

Lin Chuyan held her close: "...Tomorrow's luggage should be packed tomorrow, don't you think that makes sense?"

Ruan Xingyu traced circles on his back with her finger: "Then you have to go back quite early, will you be able to get up?"

The Disney incident was still fresh in her memory.

This time it was for work, so he couldn't afford to be late.

Lin Chuyan: "Should I go then?"

Smack.

The sound was very crisp.

This was Ruan Xingyu's counterattack, as well as an affirmation: "Little brother has been practicing well, huh."

Lin Chuyan was speechless: "Hey, I'm warning you, don't mess around."

Smack.

Another hit.

"Be careful, or I won't let you get on the plane tomorrow."

"Good sister, I was wrong, please don't hit me, let me stay a little longer."

"Stay a little longer? And then you'll go back to sleep tonight?"

"...No. Just a little longer, give me some more time, I feel like I can go again right away."

He still made his flight the next day.

Ruan Xingyu didn't see him off.

She was still asleep when Lin Chuyan left.

Both of them were a bit too exhausted.

Lin Chuyan went back, packed his luggage simply, rushed to the airport, and after going through security, couldn't help but ask Xia Zhi to buy him a coffee.

"Brother, didn't you sleep well last night?"

"Mhm, I stayed up late." Lin Chuyan yawned, "It's fine, I'll get a good rest at the hotel today, anyway, filming doesn't start until tomorrow."

Xia Zhi nodded without speaking, understanding. Another night of happiness for Brother.

Wuyi didn't have an airport, so the flight arrived in Yangcheng first, and then they took a car over.

By the time the three of them arrived in Wuyi, Guangdong Province, it was already 6 PM. After they finished checking in, Zhang Wentang and Su Su had already come to find him for dinner.

"Senior Brother, Su Su, I was just about to say I'd go find you guys."

Zhang Wentang waved his hand: "It's such a small place, it's only a few steps away, don't worry about that."

Su He was about to speak, but Lin Chuyan beat him to it: "Your look... is quite unique, isn't it?"

Short hair, but dyed, that kind of dirty blonde, making him look even more like a thug.

Su He chuckled: "I don't care about that, the role is good anyway. I've finally been waiting for you to arrive. There's a scene in there I've been dying to film, to completely crush your and Teacher Zhang Wentang's momentum, hahaha!"

Lin Chuyan nodded: "It's fine, anyway, I'll finish you off in the end."

He turned to ask his Senior Brother: "What are we eating?"

"Pig's Trotter Noodles." Zhang Wentang smiled, "Let's go, I'll let you adapt in advance."

"Great, great, I love pig's trotters."

Lin Chuyan naturally knew what he was referring to; these Pig's Trotter Noodles were part of the growth experience of the three main siblings.

They didn't forget to discuss the script while eating noodles.

"Xiao Yan, you still remember the script, right?" Zhang Wentang knew he was busy.

"I remember, I remember, I've memorized it."

Zhang Wentang nodded: "It's fine, we'll improvise. His Lines actually aren't very natural in many places, let's have a good chat about it tomorrow."

"Really improvise?"

Zhang Wentang smiled again: "Really. The time to test you has arrived."

"Alright, Brother, I've divided the character into three stages, see if you think it's appropriate."

Lin Chuyan couldn't help but share his thoughts from when he was reading the script with his Senior Brother.

The first stage is school, the second stage is selling PHS phones, and the third stage is drug trafficking.

The three stages represent three different mental states, so naturally, it will have layers when performed.

"I think it's very good, you have an understanding of the character, and it's quite on point." Zhang Wentang thought for a moment, then gave him some advice: "Later, discuss with the stylist and see how to distinguish these three stages through the look... like, I remember your character wears glasses, see if you can start from there. As for the specifics, discuss it with the stylist; he will definitely be able to give you more advice."

Lin Chuyan's eyes lit up. He still remembered when he was filming the drama, his Senior Brother gave him advice to use a thumb ring to shape the character.

Very good, he felt even more confident about playing Gao Qisheng well.

"Thanks, Senior Brother!"
