After having breakfast, as Lin Shuang drove away, he could see through the rearview mirror that the four girls at home were standing at the door, waving at him.
His eyes felt slightly warm, like the reluctance of a traveler leaving home.
But then again... The film crew is also like a home to Lin Shuang! Wherever family is, that's home, right? The crew has Su Wan and Yu Zhishui, so it's his small home, while the villa is the big home.
Xia Yubing is in Hai City now, so Hai City is also his small home. Little Lingmeng is in Ji Family Village, so that village is also his home.
No matter where he goes, he feels the warmth of home! A true man indeed has the whole world in his heart!
But it's still the warmest when everyone is together.
When the car got stuck on the highway, Lin Shuang picked up his phone and hesitated whether to call Yubing and grill her.
Forget it... It's like playing an interesting galgame now; he couldn't bear to press the ctrl key to fast-forward, wanting to save every scene (like yesterday's four-person CG...), not to mention directly asking Yubing, the game creator, for spoilers.
Let him enjoy it slowly; Lin Shuang even began to look forward to tonight's dream.
Earlier, when he was grilling Xia Yixin at home, this little girl just pouted and hummed, refusing to reveal more.
...However, Lin Shuang had reason to suspect she might just want more of his attention, that's why she refused to disclose anything.
Never mind, he already knew the ending of this game in advance — and that is the indescribably happy present. This game is undoubtedly a happy ending.
Memories of the past just add a little more sweetness to this happy ending.
"Why did you bring so much good food!"
In the hotel next to the film city, Su Wan and Yu Zhishui were taking out the things Lin Shuang had brought, item by item.
The maids at home had stuffed him with a lot of delicious food, like freshly made cookies and cakes, completely filling it up.
Hmm... It's like when family sends a child off to school or work, wishing to pack all the good things from home for him.
Every time something was taken out, Yu Zhishui's cheek puffed up bigger, like a balloon full of air.
Lin Shuang mischievously planted a "mwah~" on it, deflating the balloon.
"According to the original plan, I'll be responsible for eating, and you two just have to watch me eat."
Su Wan kicked him lightly, "We'll make a big pig head out of you! Aren't you going to be on camera too!"
Lin Shuang ate a cookie, "But there shouldn't be a problem, it won't affect me charming thousands of girls on the big screen."
Wanwan crossed her arms, squinting, "Lin the fool, looks like going back home made you float."
"Let me see if my dear is floating."
Shuishui hugged Lin Shuang from behind, trying to lift him, "Heyyo~ still can't lift!"
Wanwan joined in, rubbing her hands and joining the battle; the two girls lifted Lin Shuang like they were lifting a pig for the New Year celebration.
"Lin the fool, you're such a pig head! So heavy!"
"A man should be solid~"
With a cookie still in his mouth, Lin Shuang was thrown onto the bed by the two girls working together.
The mattress in this big hotel was pretty bouncy, bouncing Lin Shuang like a trampoline.
Yu Zhishui jumped onto the bed too, played childishly for a while, then approached to snatch the cookie from Lin Shuang's mouth.
"Dear, I want a cookie too~"
"Just say you want to kiss me!"
"It smells sweeter in dear's mouth!"
Wanwan, standing by the bed with hands on her hips, hesitated about whether to join in playing trampoline: Would it be too childish?
Forget it, what's there to fear in front of Lin the fool.
So the big bed… became a trampoline for three.
While bouncing, the two girls also tried to grab the cookie from Lin Shuang's mouth.
Wanwan reasoned, "This way, we can bounce off all the calories we're taking in."
Seems to make a bit of sense.
Lin Shuang laughed, "Anyway, it's homemade, with no calorie count... If it's not written, then it's zero calories!"
Ah Yao specifically used zero-calorie sugar; what a thoughtful Maid Chief.
The two actresses bounced on the trampoline for a while, and when tired, lay on either side of Lin Shuang to nap, chatting about what happened during yesterday's shoot.
Lin Shuang raised a finger pointing at himself, "So yesterday you both were still shooting the scenes of sisters competing for me?"
Wanwan pulled him towards her, changed to a more comfortable position resting on his shoulder.
"You seem quite smug, Lin the fool."
Shuishui tugged him back, picking up the conversation, "Dear, without you, we just couldn't get into that mood yesterday."
Wanwan also laughed, "Without seeing you, couldn't find that gritting-teeth feeling."
Lin Shuang held the two leading ladies, continued to be smug, "Can't help it, you just can't do without me~"
Shuishui wrapped her silk-covered foot around him, rubbing against his belly, "Really can't do without dear~"
Wanwan immediately let him feel "gritting-teeth," biting his shoulder and cutting off his smugness.
"Easy there, Wanwan! I'm going to be on camera too! Don't leave bite marks!"
"We're not filming your shoulders!"
"Not giving me some shoulder-exposing shots to boost my charm?"
Wanwan took another bite to deepen the tooth marks, "You're so gross, Lin the fool!"
This silly little puppy Yu Zhishui followed suit and started engraving with her little fangs on his other shoulder.
Just like those mischievous students who sit at the back of the class, not paying attention and secretly engraving things on their desks with pencil tips.
— Speaking of which, Mr. Lu Xun must bear some responsibility for this! Lin Shuang saw the character "早" on many desks!
Lin Shuang couldn't feel what messages Shuishui's little fangs were carving on his shoulder, just felt a tickling sensation, like a cat gently licking its paws to wash its face.
However, a cat's tongue has countless tiny barbs... that's much more intense than little fangs!
Veteran engraving artist Wanwan was instructing on-site, "Put some strength into it, little Shuisister! Bite him!"
"Hehe, can't bear to bite dear~"
"How are you going to argue with your sister in the play ? Find that feeling of competition!"
Shuishui's eyes lit up immediately, "Got the feeling!"
She "awoo~" and bit down on Lin Shuang's shoulder.
Wanwan laughed as she leaned over and covered his cries of pain with her soft lips.
The pain-relieving effect was excellent.
After the lunch break, in the afternoon, the "Dust Settles" crew continued filming.
As usual, Lin Shuang acted as the cheerleader for the two leading ladies. Between scenes, Director Ren chatted with him with a kindly smile, "With this handsome young man here, the two girls' performances are much better than yesterday."
Lin Shuang scratched his head modestly, "It's still thanks to your excellent direction, Director Ren."
Though inside, he was feeling smug again: This is the effect of a high-powered power bank!
King among kings, ham sausage, one segment stronger than six!
