440: Chapter 440 Meeting with the Eldest Brother

The air in Beijing was much fresher after the rain.

The next morning, Lin Chuyan slept until 12 o'clock.

When he opened his eyes, he reached over to the nightstand to check his watch and couldn't help but exclaim, "Holy crap."

Turning his head, he saw his girlfriend was still asleep.

Could she really... not get up?

Well, it was understandable; the battle last night was indeed quite intense.

"Wake up, wake up, the sun is shining on your butt."

He grabbed his phone and saw several messages.

Xia Zhi: "Brother, I'm at the office. Is there anything else you need me to bring?"

Xia Zhi: "Brother, Wen Qi said she'll drive us to the airport. She and I will come to pick you up at one o'clock sharp."

Lin Chuyan replied casually: "Bring the script and that new notebook. Also, let's make it 1:30! Don't worry, there's plenty of time."

He quickly received a reply from Xia Zhi: "[Thumbs Up] [Thumbs Up] [Thumbs Up]"

It was that thumbs-up emoji on WeChat.

Lin Chuyan felt a guilty conscience, feeling like she was implying something.

There was also a message from Ms. Chen Wanyi: "Did you go out this morning? Neither you nor Xingxing have replied."

Chen Wanyi: "I left food at the door."

Lin Chuyan: "Thank you, Auntie. We woke up a bit late today, I'm going to get it now!"

It was just, quite embarrassing.

He looked at his girlfriend, who was finally waking up slowly, and couldn't help but reach out and pinch her cheek. Unfortunately, the female celebrity's face was very thin, and there wasn't much meat to pinch.

"Wake up, get up. Mom left food at the door. I have to go after we eat and pack up."

He started to jump out of bed to get dressed.

Ruan Xingyu's voice carried a smile: "No, come back and lie with me for a while."

"No, no, time to eat."

"Let me hug you for a while longer, good brother."

Ruan Xingyu's voice was sweet and cloying.

She was acting coquettish on purpose, and coupled with the laziness of just waking up... Lin Chuyan couldn't resist.

So, he took off the clothes he had half-put on and climbed back under the covers.

The air conditioner was on in the bedroom, and it was warm under the quilt.

Ruan Xingyu propped her thigh up, lifted her neck, and made a "hmm" sound, signaling him to quickly put his arm around her.

Lin Chuyan complied with everything.

"Hey, hey, hey, just two minutes, okay?"

"Not necessarily~" Ruan Xingyu lifted the leg she had draped over him, finding a more comfortable position, "You're leaving anyway, can't you indulge me?"

"Hmm... that makes sense."

"Then hold me tight."

Lin Chuyan exerted some force, almost pulling Ruan Xingyu onto his body.

He sniffed.

She smelled so good.

He didn't know how she managed it.

"How's this pressure? Are you satisfied?"

"Satisfied, very satisfied, keep it up." Ruan Xingyu laughed while her hands were also restless, pinching and playing here and there on him.

Lin Chuyan was a bit distracted: It's twelve o'clock now, leaving at 1:30. The food is already at the door, and the luggage is packed. Eating and taking a shower would be enough to leave; honestly, an hour and a half is more than enough. Lying down for a bit more doesn't seem impossible. Hmm, no rush.

Ruan Xingyu moved the leg she had draped over him slightly: "What is Brother thinking about?"

"Thinking about why you smell so good."

Ruan Xingyu chuckled: "I rub so many things on my body every night before I sleep, didn't you see?"

That was true, he almost forgot.

"Does Brother want to get up?"

"I did a moment ago, but I'm not in a rush now. It's 1:30, still an hour and a half left."

"That's more like it..." Ruan Xingyu's face was originally buried in his neck, and now she stuck out her tongue.

Hiss...

Someone instantly transformed into a super sensitive type.

Goosebumps rose all over.

Seeing his reaction, Ruan Xingyu felt mischievous and stuck her tongue out again.

"Hmm, hmm, I see Brother doesn't really want to get up either."

"Hey, I was already half-dressed, alright? I was called back by you."

"Is that so? I don't remember."

"Woman, your name is —"

Ruan Xingyu suddenly clamped the thigh she had draped over him.

Something suddenly appeared in the crook of his knee.

"What is it called?"

"Great!"

Great, truly great.

Ruan Xingyu's lower leg was swinging, swaying back and forth, and someone couldn't help but close his eyes.

He was distracted again.

Well, what was said yesterday was indeed correct.

If someone like Ruan Xingyu lived in ancient times, wouldn't she be a femme fatale who ruins the country?

He didn't know what time the king started court, but it definitely wasn't twelve noon.

And the king was already up and getting dressed, only to be called back to lie down for a while after getting halfway through?

And then, while lying there, it started again?

Lin Chuyan only felt boundless happiness.

...

Get up, take a shower.

For some reason, Lin Chuyan didn't feel tired; on the contrary, he felt full of energy.

Just, strangely, he had a feeling that he could succeed in anything...

Standing in the bathroom, being washed by the water, he thought about it—it was probably an illusion brought about by being too successful in love...

The food Ms. Chen Wanyi sent over was still delicious, and Lin Chuyan couldn't help but eat an extra bowl.

After eating, he wanted to clear the table, but was shooed away by his girlfriend.

"Go, go, hurry to the airport. Wen Qi said they are waiting downstairs."

"Aren't you coming?"

"There's no time. I'm not as fast as you when I go out."

Understood, the persistence of a female celebrity.

Ruan Xingyu was still giving instructions: "Send me a message when you get to the airport, send me a message when you board the plane, and send me a message when you land!"

"Alright, alright, I will definitely report in. Also, video call tonight."

"Video!"

...

When he got downstairs, he was indeed asked by Xia Zhi.

"Brother, where is the boss lady?"

"She's not going." Lin Chuyan casually made up an excuse, "She's going to sleep for a bit longer; she hasn't gotten up yet."

Then, Xia Zhi's expression suddenly changed.

Is it that... intense? Can't... get out of bed?

Lin Chuyan got the look in one second—holy crap, it's not what you're imagining, hey! How is this Xia Zhi so dirty-minded?

But he couldn't explain this kind of thing clearly.

Fortunately, Wu Yue started talking to him about work, about the salary for "new police story".

Lin Chuyan listened quietly, then nodded.

He could only say that Wu Yue was indeed incomparable in this regard.

Sometimes he seemed very greedy, sometimes he was a big gambler, and sometimes he was very prudent.

For example, this time, Wu Yue didn't open his mouth like a lion, nor did he ask for much; he just told the other side that it would be one tier lower than the Big Brother playing the lead role.

Both sides were in a salary + investment model, but the other party was a senior and had a bigger status than him, so being one tier lower was very reasonable. In the future, he wouldn't be criticized or have people gossip about him.

...

It was equally muggy here in Hong Kong; Lin Chuyan felt it when he filmed "the mission". Wearing a suit looked cool, but inside he was covered in sweat.

He checked into the hotel, rested for a night, and set off the next morning—Director Mu Sheng was already waiting for him on set.

There were actually still a few days left before the start of filming; today was mainly for reading through the script and confirming some details.

Of course, most importantly, it was to let Lin Chuyan meet the Big Brother.

They had a lot of scenes together later, and they required emotional outbursts, so they had to work together in advance.

For the Big Brother, this was his first film after returning to the country from Hollywood. He had great confidence in the script, so he attached great importance to it.

Furthermore, he had also been paying attention to Lin Chuyan, a young actor who had emerged and made a name for himself in the past two years. He expressed great welcome to the director for inviting Lin Chuyan to play this villain.

At this moment, Lin Chuyan arrived.

Before Director Mu Sheng could speak, the Big Brother had already greeted Lin Chuyan.

"Nickname, hello." The Big Brother took the initiative to reach out, smiling without any airs, "I am Chen Jiaju."
