Outside the Sixth Ring Road
A luxurious mansion covering nearly ten thousand square meters, comparable to a landowner's estate, with security personnel on duty around the clock.
This was where Liu Xiao Li and her daughter resided. Luo Yun Chu rarely visited, as he usually stayed at school.
The two of them got out of the car in the parking lot of the backyard.
Liu Xiao Li took Luo Yun Chu and walked slowly from the outer courtyard to the inner courtyard, naturally engaging in warm conversation after more than a year apart.
Luo Yun Chu, being sensible, responded to Liu Xiao Li's words.
A woman slowly approached from a distance.
“Mom, cousin, you're back.”
Liu Yi Fei wore a white dress, her long hair cascading down to her slender waist, her black hair dancing in the wind, her skin delicate.
At fifteen years old, she truly possessed an ethereal aura, one that allowed people to directly perceive her beauty.
Liu Xiao Li glanced at her and asked.
“Xian Xian, why did you bring your costume back?”
Liu Yi Fei's voice was clear and melodious.
“The crew asked me to bring it back.”
Luo Yun Chu, standing beside them, politely greeted her after the two finished speaking.
“Cousin.”
While they weren't actually cousins, calling her that was fine, considering the close relationship their families had.
“Cousin, you're so well-behaved, you've grown taller than me.”
Liu Yi Fei, standing on tiptoe, reached out and touched Luo Yun Chu's dark hair, a gesture of affection.
It's said that those who are beautiful like to play with those who are even more beautiful.
She still remembered that when they were kids, they had a sort of arranged marriage, and Yun Chu was like her childhood husband.
She initially had a strong resistance to it when she grew up.
Arranged marriages were simply feudal ideology!
But looking at her bewitching cousin, Liu Yi Fei felt that the things left behind by our ancestors must have had their reason!
Yes!
She had started to accept the idea that her cousin was her childhood husband.
Luo Yun Chu didn't know what Liu Yi Fei was thinking. He just murmured a sound, not knowing what to say.
Liu Yi Fei pouted and complained.
“Cousin, you're still so quiet, such a dullard.”
Liu Xiao Li asked disapprovingly.
“Alright, let's go home and talk about it. Tomorrow, Yun Chu will go to the film set with us.”
Liu Yi Fei's eyes lit up. With her cousin there, her mother wouldn't be too strict. She exclaimed excitedly.
“Really? What role is he going to play?!”
Liu Xiao Li thought for a moment and said.
“The script for Duan Yu isn't fully determined yet. We'll know when we get to the set. If it works out, his role should be as significant as yours.”
……
Luo Yun Chu listened silently from the side. He had stayed at Liu Xiao Li's family for a while before going to school.
He knew a lot of the so-called "rumors" from later generations, most of which were people's imaginations.
Liu Yi Fei's family background was prominent. Her biological father was the principal of a foreign academy and a diplomatic envoy to France. Her mother was a first-class national dancer, and her grandparents held high positions.
Calling them a prominent family would be an understatement. There was no need for her to have a "godfather," even after a divorce.
Luo Yun Chu had heard some of the rumors.
Chen, he had met him as well. He wasn't a stepfather as rumored, but a godfather and part-time manager.
At the time, Chen, in his capacity as Liu Yi Fei's manager, accepted an interview. The first thing he said to the reporter was:
“You must help me clarify. My family and Liu Yi Fei's family are close friends. I'm actually Xian Xian's godfather. She called me "Daddy" when she was five years old. I watched her grow up.”
But that interview was rarely known at the time.
After all, those who spread rumors didn't care about such details. "Bisexuality" had already emerged, so a "godfather" seemed to be a reasonable explanation.
But back then, if anyone had taken the time to understand the situation, they would have known it was just a rumor.
It was just like the online rumors about Zhou Jie being responsible for the Wenchuan earthquake, or that he went to the disaster area to steal instant noodles. It was simply absurd.
The key was that there were still people who believed it.
Not to mention this kind of gossip that the public loved to hear, with the protagonist being the "Fairy Sister".
It perfectly demonstrated the saying:
“It takes one mouth to spread a rumor, but a thousand mouths to refute it.”
The mother and daughter had a lot to chat about. Luo Yun Chu didn't want to interrupt. His thoughts drifted, and the three of them arrived at the inner courtyard.
Liu Yi Fei had learned what she wanted from her mother, and the topic gradually shifted to Luo Yun Chu.
Her impression of this playmate was still stuck in the past.
In the blink of an eye, he had grown so much. At fourteen, he was taller than her!
Her mom had said before that Luo Yun Chu was even more handsome than her.
She had been a little unconvinced then. Now, seeing him, she was truly convinced.
Although she often said that a kind heart was the most important thing.
But at heart, she was still a "face-obsessed" person.
After all, apart from some special situations, who really likes ugliness?
Just as they were chatting, Liu Xiao Li had to deal with some matters and left in a hurry, leaving the space to the two of them.
Facing fifteen-year-old Liu Yi Fei, Luo Yun Chu felt no excitement, just normalcy. He was more handsome than her…
Plus, he had seen her every day during his time living there.
And for the past few months he had been attending Beijing Film Academy, he was used to being chased by female seniors.
As soon as Liu Xiao Li left, Liu Yi Fei, who had just returned from America, began to let loose. Her voice still had a babyish quality, not the slightest bit cold.
“Cousin, don't always be so sullen. But your personality is really perfect for Duan Yu, both of you are bookworms~”
Luo Yun Chu looked calm, speaking seriously.
“Cousin, I'm already changing. My personality now should be lively.”
Liu Yi Fei was amused. She was much more interested in this "cousin" now. Her voice was light and joyful as she pouted and said.
“Who says that someone with a poker face is lively? You're just like the still photos Mom gave me, no change at all.”
Luo Yun Chu didn't refute, he just asked.
“What still photos?”
“Oh, you don't know? That year, the still photos from Young Qin Shi Huang, I'll take you to see them.”
Liu Yi Fei, without a word, grabbed Luo Yun Chu's hand and ran towards her room.
Luo Yun Chu looked at the soft hand holding his, and a little emotion flickered within him, but not much.
In the room
Liu Yi Fei took a photo from under her pillow, the photo had a strong sense of time.
The Luo Yun Chu in the photo wore ancient costume and had long hair. Compared to his current self, there was a significant difference.
Liu Yi Fei waved the photo.
“Look, you've never even smiled.”
Luo Yun Chu smiled, Liu Yi Fei shook her head, hands on her hips, in a mini-adult manner.
“Forget it, you don't even know how to smile, cousin will teach you on set!”
In her mind, she was a few months older, and she had already acted in a drama, so it was only right to teach her cousin.
“Okay, thank you, cousin.”
Luo Yun Chu didn't object. In reality, Liu Yi Fei was only a few months older than him. Adding in his previous life's age, she wasn't that much older…
Because in his last life, he had just graduated from college and found a summer job when things happened.
It wasn't like now, where he had recognized himself, accepted Liu Auntie's financial support.
He was only fourteen years old, just like Liu Yi Fei, and had gotten into freshman year through backdoor connections.
Now, they could be considered the same age.
Liu Yi Fei talked a lot, Luo Yun Chu talked less, mostly listening.
The barrier between them gradually dissipated over time.
The next day
Liu Xiao Li took the two of them and drove early to the Sky Dragon and Eight Bu film set.
