Although Lin Qiong shouted towards the starry sky with all her might, she was still very small in the chaotic crowd, and her voice was quickly drowned out, just like a gentle breeze that could carry away anything.
But this sound was particularly abrupt to Fu Xingyun's ears.
The man, whose expression had been indifferent, stared at the person standing in front of him with a look of surprise that was rare to see. It was as if something was stuck in his throat, and he couldn't utter a single word.
After catching her breath, Lin Qiong turned to look at the man and asked, "Xingyun, don't you want to make a wish?"
Fu Xingyun snapped out of his daze, his gaze sweeping over Lin Qiong, but he turned his head away and said the same thing again, "I don't believe in this stuff."
Lin Qiong lowered her head to look at the person, "Then let's talk about dreams."
Fearing this clueless old man might say yes, she quickly interjected, "You still have to have dreams, just in case someone asks."
"..."
Lin Qiong nudged Fu Xingyun like a pig rooting for cabbage, "Tell me one, this is the first time we've come to see a shooting star, to leave some memories."
Fu Xingyun remained silent for a while.
Lin Qiong: "If you don't want to say it out loud, you can make a wish in your heart."
The man finally relented, and after a while, Lin Qiong asked curiously, "What did you wish for?"
Fu Xingyun replied calmly, "It's a secret."
Lin Qiong looked at him, "Really not going to tell?"
Fu Xingyun nodded, and was about to launch into a speech, fearing the other party might pester him, when he heard someone say, "I respect you."
"..."
He's so thoughtful.
Then Lin Qiong looked up at the night sky. Ji Yao walked over from not far away, holding a camera. "Xingyun, Lin Qiong, let me take a picture of you."
Lin Qiong's eyes lit up instantly. "Okay."
He then lowered himself to the same height as Fu Xingyun.
"Take the picture."
Ji Yao glanced at it and said, "Why don't you two be a little more intimate?"
Lin Qiong thought for a moment, "That's true."
Fu Xingyun's brow twitched and he swallowed water. The next moment, Lin Qiong took the man's hand and made a peace sign.
Ji Yao: ...
Fu Xingyun: ...
Lin Qiong was very satisfied, then thought of something and asked, "Could we wait a moment?"
Ji Yao was delighted. "You want to change positions?"
No, not exactly.
"What are you going to do?"
Lin Qiong turned her head to look at Fu Xingyun and thought to herself, "Let's take a picture in a bit."
"..."
Lin Qiong leaned close to the person's ear and whispered, "I think you look the most handsome."
Fu Xingyun glanced at him and said something.
Seeing that the two were ready, Ji Yao pressed the shutter and noticed that Fu Xingyun's lips did indeed have a slight curve when he checked.
After taking the photos, Lin Qiong looked at the night sky for a while, then walked behind Fu Xingyun and said, "Let's go back and rest."
Fu Xingyun looked at the person with surprise, "Don't you want to take another look?"
Whether it was the trip to camp or the hardships of the past few days, Lin Qiong's purpose was to see the shooting stars, and she longed for it more than just a little.
Lin Qiong shook her head. "It's already past midnight. It's cool at night, and staying out too long isn't good for your health."
Fu Xingyun said, "You can take another look."
Lin Qiong shook her head. "No need."
"Why?"
The next moment, all that could be seen was the person's radiant smile. "We'll have other chances to see you again in the future. Once your leg is healed, we'll come often. This one time won't make a difference."
Fu Xingyun curled up and said something.
The two returned to the tent, and Lin Qiong followed the same procedure as yesterday, leading everyone into their sleeping bags.
Then, he leaned closer and asked, "Xingyun, have you had fun these past few days?"
Fu Xingyun squinted. "It's alright."
Lin Qiong leaned closer to the person without realizing it. "When are you happiest?"
Fu Xingyun was silent for a moment, then said, "Sunrise."
Lin Qiong said "oh" and then rubbed against the person like a cat, quickly slipping her foot between their legs. "I think so too."
Fu Xingyun glanced at Lin Qiong silently.
"..."
Lin Qiong lowered her head shyly, "It's warm this way."
Then she quickly changed the subject, "We're going home tomorrow, do you miss home?"
"How does it feel?"
For him, home wasn't just a place to live; he could move around anytime, so he didn't have any emotional attachment to it.
Lin Qiong said softly, "I miss home."
Fu Xingyun glanced down at him, "The Lin family?"
"Our home."
The man paused for a moment, then said, "I can go back tomorrow."
Then he closed his eyes.
When they woke up the next day, it was already bright outside. After getting up, the group began to pack their things, dismantle their tents, and prepare to go down the mountain.
Although Qin Weichu was heartbroken, the thought of riding in the same car with Lin Qiong brought him some comfort.
To everyone's surprise, Qin Weichu's face instantly fell the moment he opened the car door. "What, it's you?"
Li Hanyang: ...
Is he really that annoying?
"Why wasn't it me?!"
Qin Heng had anticipated this; Fu Xingyun knew Qin Weichu's intentions and wouldn't allow anyone to ride in the same carriage as him.
Li Hanyang said indignantly, "My house faces a different direction than Xingyun's. If we separate their two sons, they'll have to make a trip."
Qin Weichu got into the car without saying anything or showing any particular spirit.
Because the journey took several hours, Lin Qiong took a nap in the car and woke up home.
Lin Qiong and Fu Xingyun got out of the car with their belongings, then waved to the people inside, "Goodbye~"
"Bye-Bye."
The first thing Lin Qiong and Fu Xingyun did after returning home was to go to their respective rooms to take a shower.
After washing up, Lin Qiong lay sprawled on the bed and then made a phone call.
The call was answered almost immediately on the other end.
Wang Cheng roared, "So you finally know to call me? Where have you been these past few days?"
Lin Qiong was startled and slightly moved the phone away. "I've been camping in the mountains for the past few days, so the signal is bad and I can't receive calls."
He then added, "But when I got back and saw your call, I immediately called you back."
Wang Cheng's anger subsided after hearing this.
Lin Qiong: "Do you need any work from me?"
"wrong."
"I didn't get back on the same day. There were some things going on at home recently."
Hearing the other party's declaration lacking any ambition, Wang Cheng frowned. "What is it?"
Lin Qiong also concealed the fact that "my wife needs someone to accompany her for leg exercises recently."
"That old pervert isn't, is your old baby having trouble walking?"
Lin Qiong: "Yes."
"I knew it."
How did you know?
“Put your age there.”
Lin Qiong explained, "Actually, he's not that old..."
“I know,” Wang Cheng interrupted the man’s words, “he just lived a long time.”
"..."
"Most people in the industry know about your movie. A big director's film is different; even playing a supporting role brings business opportunities."
He then reminded her, "I've found you an endorsement deal. If the deal goes through, the money will be substantial. Don't run around these next few days. If it's finalized, I'll let you know as soon as possible and bring your company to sign the contract."
Lin Qiong nodded, then asked, "Does that require travel to another city?"
"Okay."
Lin Qiong was in a dilemma upon hearing this.
Wang Cheng said helplessly, "You're not going to give up your career for your old baby. A career brings money! Money!"
Lin Qiong scratched her head sheepishly upon hearing this, "Actually, all I got from following him was money."
"..."
Wang Cheng took a deep breath. "Just don't go out around these next few days."
Lin Qiong said OK.
After lying on the bed for a while, I went downstairs to make dinner.
The rice bowls were still as big as mountain peaks, and the two of them ate all the three dishes and soup they had eaten.
Lin Qiong pursed her lips as she looked at the person.
Fu Xingyun sipped his water. "Say whatever you want to say."
"It's not good for us to lie down right after eating."
Fu Xingyun looked at him with surprise.
Seeing the person's gaze, Lin Qiong asked, puzzled, "What's wrong?"
"I always thought you didn't understand this principle."
"..."
After all, Lin Qiong used to just lounge on the sofa like a salted fish after dinner.
Lin Qiong blushed. "This is a lesson I've recently come to understand."
"good."
Unbeknownst to her, Lin Qiong detected a hint of sarcasm in the other person's words.
What a scumbag!
Lin Qiong took a deep breath. "Don't you think we should do something?"
Seeing that someone had answered, Lin Qiong tentatively suggested, "Why don't we stand here for a little while?"
As he spoke, he pinched two fingers together to indicate a small area.
Fu Xingyun frowned after hearing this.
Lin Qiong explained logically, "Standing helps with digestion."
As he spoke, he stepped forward and bent down to start massaging the person's legs. The book said it was better to start the massage first.
As Fu Xingyun watched Lin Qiong's actions, the thought of what she was going to do made her feel increasingly resistant. She had thought about it before, but now that it was in front of her, she felt hesitant.
This isn't like him, or rather, it's not like the man he used to be.
Lin Qiong massaged the person for a while, then pushed them to the wall. It was best to stand with their backs against the wall initially. Lin Qiong knew it wouldn't work the first time, but she was full of energy.
Fu Xingyun, who was so carefree in that video, will always come back.
Lin Qiong took a deep breath. "Xingyun, let me help you up."
However, when she looked down, she saw that the man's face looked very unpleasant.
"Floating Clouds..."
Fu Xingyun's chest heaved, and a light sweat broke out on his forehead. "Let's do it another day."
Lin Qiong knew the other person was hesitant, but this step had to be taken. "Let's do it today."
He was about to step forward to help the person when Fu Xingyun grabbed him, saying, "Let's do it another day."
Lin Qiong crouched down and looked at the person. "Xingyun, let's stand here for a while. I'll stay with you."
Fu Xingyun lowered his head, gritted his teeth, and remained silent for a long time. Then he raised his eyes to look at Lin Qiong, a strange light in them. "You're staying with me?"
The light was eerie, like the green eyes of a wolf in the night; just staring at it made one feel oppressed.
Lin Qiong nodded, "Of course, I'll accompany you no matter what you do."
Fu Xingyun's lips curled into a slight smile, his eyes fixed on the person. "Is that so?"
Seeing that it was rare for anyone to have such a chance, Rong Linqiong hurriedly said, "Yes, let's practice first."
Fu Xingyun's voice was excited, "What do I need to do?"
Lin Qiong stretched a bit, "I'll help you practice standing."
He then added, "If you feel unwell, you can tell me anytime."
Fu Xingyun placed the person on his arm, seemingly impatient, and said, "Let's begin."
Lin Qiong was surprised by the person's sudden initiative, but she still stepped forward to help him up, as Fu Xingyun was quite heavy and it was a little difficult for him.
Fu Xingyun looked down at the man's fair neck, his voice excited, "What do I need to do?"
Lin Qiong, panting heavily, helped the person to the wall. "Let's lean against the wall and see if we can stand. We can take it slowly. It's okay if it doesn't work."
"Shall I give it a try?"
"sure."
Fu Xingyun leaned against the wall, looking at his legs, completely ignoring the fact that Lin Qiong had been supporting him the whole time. "I can stand up?!"
"I've stood up!"
Lin Qiong was sweating from exhaustion, but when she looked up, she sensed something was wrong; Fu Xingyun was acting strangely.
At this moment, the man's face showed his usual excitement, and his eyes shone with an alarming light. Lin Qiong was stunned for a moment.
Fu Xingyun spoke again, "Leave me here and let me stand here for a while."
"It's better if I help you stand up today."
Unexpectedly, the man's expression changed from joy to a sinister look as he stared at Lin Qiong. "Didn't you hear me tell you to get lost?"
Lin Qiong was stunned for a moment, "Xingyun..."
"Get out of my way!"
As he spoke, he lifted her up and threw her aside, causing Lin Qiong to stumble and fall to the ground.
However, as Lin Qiong was forced to loosen her grip, Fu Xingyun also collapsed suddenly.
"Xingyun!" Lin Qiong was so frightened that she hurriedly tried to help him up, but she had just fallen and hurt herself, so she scrambled to her feet.
Just as Lin Qiong was about to approach Fu Xingyun, someone grabbed her collar. "Didn't you say I should stand up?!"
The man's eyes were bloodshot. He pulled Lin Qiong so hard that he practically dragged her off the ground, his teeth clenched tightly as if he would open them and bite off Lin Qiong's neck at any moment.
His voice was angry and hoarse, "Didn't you say I'd stand up?!"
