"I like it." Lin Xiaoxiao sat up, hooked her arms around Tang Xue's neck, and their lips met gently. Lin Xiaoxiao let out a satisfied sigh.
After the kiss ended, Lin Xiaoxiao nestled directly into Tang Xue's arms. Her cheeks were flushed, her eyes were glazed, her lips were slightly parted, and she was breathing heavily.
As his breathing gradually calmed down, his dazed eyes cleared, and he saw Tang Xue looking at him with a smile, as if nothing had happened.
Lin Xiaoxiao pouted somewhat unwillingly and poked Tang Xue's face with her finger, "Why are you completely unharmed?"
"It's because you're stupid, you still can't understand even after I've taught you so many times." Tang Xue grabbed Lin Xiaoxiao's finger that was playing tricks on her face and gently bit it.
"Tell me, is it that you, the student, are not working hard enough, or that I, the teacher, am not doing my best?"
“That’s because you, as the teacher, haven’t been doing your job properly,” Lin Xiaoxiao retorted instinctively.
The next second, Tang Xue's laughter reached my ears, "You're right, it's true that I haven't been a good enough teacher."
She kissed Lin Xiaoxiao's fingers, her voice low and her eyes deep.
A powerful force struck, and Lin Xiaoxiao realized that the position between the two had changed.
"No, your uncle and aunt are still here." Lin Xiaoxiao panicked a little.
"Don't worry, the soundproofing in this room is pretty good." After saying that, a passionate and urgent kiss instantly robbed Lin Xiaoxiao of her last remaining ability to think.
The night is still long; everything is just beginning.
Chapter 136
===================
Tang Xue's main purpose in returning this time was to introduce Lin Xiaoxiao to her parents so that they could get to know each other.
After all, one side is her family and the other is her lover, so Tang Xue naturally hopes that they can fall in love with each other.
Another reason is that she wants to stay at home for a few more days to spend time with her family, which would also allow Lin Xiaoxiao to develop a closer relationship with her parents.
After consulting Lin Xiaoxiao, the two decided to stay a few more days, since Tang Xue's joining the crew had not yet been confirmed.
As for Lin Xiaoxiao, she had already arranged her work before leaving. After all, with Lin Chuze in the company now, she no longer needed to do many things herself.
Shen Xinlan and Tang Lin were very happy to learn that the two would be staying at home for a few more days.
Finally, in order to stay home and spend more time with them, both of them asked for leave from school.
The few days Lin Xiaoxiao spent at Tang Xue's house were relaxing and enjoyable. Shen Xinlan and Tang Lin treated her like family, treating her exceptionally well and genuinely regarding her as their own daughter.
Tang Lin is a great cook and always prepares different delicious meals for her, while Shen Xinlan takes her and Tang Xue shopping every day.
If she sees something that she thinks suits her, she'll buy it without hesitation.
The only thing that's a bit of a worry is that Tang Xue is different now than before. Before, she wasn't famous, so she didn't have the worry of being recognized.
But now, with the end of her idyllic life and the popularity of "I Want to Become a Demon", Tang Xue's popularity has skyrocketed. Every time she goes out shopping, she is inevitably recognized by a few sharp-eyed people.
Towards the end, Shen Xinlan grew to dislike Tang Xue so much that she was reluctant to take her out with her.
In the end, Tang Xue had no choice but to put on a hat and mask before she could finally persuade Shen Xinlan to let her and Lin Xiaoxiao go out together.
As for Lin Xiaoxiao, she naturally encountered the same situation as Tang Xue, but not many people could recognize her. In the end, to prevent others from recognizing Tang Xue through her, Lin Xiaoxiao also wore a hat and a mask.
But to be honest, going out in this kind of weather wearing a hat and a mask is not a comfortable thing.
Shen Xinlan felt sorry for the two of them having to be bundled up every day when they went out, so she stopped taking them to those more bustling places.
As long as they don't go to crowded and bustling places, the chances of them being recognized are very small.
Life was peaceful and comfortable, and Lin Xiaoxiao quite liked this kind of life.
That day, the four of them ate breakfast as usual. Tang Xue, who was about to go play with Xiaobai with Lin Xiaoxiao, received a call from Bai Bing.
"Sister Bai."
"The production team has already selected the actors, and the start date for joining the crew has been set for tomorrow. You should also hurry up and join the crew."
As soon as the call connected, Bai Bing didn't chat with Tang Xue about everyday things; she went straight to explaining why she had called.
"I understand." Tang Xue nodded, her family life was far too comfortable.
She almost forgot about filming altogether, even though she had been studying the script these past few days.
But I always felt like I had a long time before leaving the plane, and before I knew it, it was time to leave.
After hanging up the phone, Tang Xue met three pairs of eyes that were staring at her.
"Was that Bingbing calling?" Lin Xiaoxiao asked first.
"Are you leaving?" Shen Xinlan followed closely behind.
"Okay." Tang Xue nodded. "We're starting filming tomorrow, so we're going back today."
Tang Xue was also a little reluctant, but she still had work and couldn't stay at home forever.
"So eager?" Shen Xinlan subconsciously replied. When her daughter was home, no matter how long she stayed, she always felt that time was too short.
"Dad, Mom, I'll come back to see you as soon as I finish my work here." Tang Xue was also quite reluctant to leave. Every time she returned home, she would feel an urge not to leave again.
Lin Xiaoxiao stepped forward and took Tang Xue's hand. "Uncle and Aunt, once you're done with your business here, I'll have someone come and pick you up. You can stay with us for a while, and I'll show you around."
Lin Xiaoxiao felt at home after spending time with Shen Xinlan and Tang Lin, and rediscovered the feeling of being loved by her parents. Therefore, she already regarded the two of them as her parents.
“Okay.” Shen Xinlan took Lin Xiaoxiao’s hand. “Once we’re done with what we’re doing, we’ll come visit you.”
"Then I'll be waiting." Lin Xiaoxiao smiled happily. She really hoped that Shen Xinlan and Tang Lin could go with them.
But they haven't retired yet, they still have jobs to do, and it's impossible for them to just abandon everything here and leave with them.
“Okay.” Shen Xinlan’s face was full of smiles. “Now that you’re leaving, we won’t be able to take care of you anymore. You need to take care of yourselves and remember to take good care of yourselves.”
"Don't worry, Auntie, we'll take good care of ourselves," Lin Xiaoxiao said, glancing at Tang Xue.
Shen Xinlan gently patted Lin Xiaoxiao's hand, "If Xiaoxue ever dares to bully you or do anything to wrong you, just tell me, and I'll take care of her for you."
"Mom," Tang Xue pouted, somewhat displeased, "How could I possibly bully Xiaoxiao?"
Lin Xiaoxiao raised an eyebrow, her smile somewhat arrogant. Her eyes, brimming with laughter, seemed to clearly say, "I have powerful backers now."
Tang Xue shook her head with amusement, her eyes lowered slightly, and she squeezed Lin Xiaoxiao's palm.
Lin Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes at Tang Xue before turning her attention to Shen Xinlan.
Shen Xinlan acted as if she hadn't noticed the tension between the two at all, and patiently reminded them of some things they needed to pay attention to.
After Shen Xinlan finished speaking, Tang Lin said a few words with a gentle smile.
Tang Lin's words were simple, which can be summarized as, "We can't be by your side all the time, nor can we take care of you all the time. Now that you two are together, you should be tolerant of each other, understand each other, and take good care of each other."
Finally, the two declined Shen Xinlan and Tang Lin's offer to see them off, and left with the things the two had prepared for them.
It was already 8 p.m. when they got home. After a quick bite to eat, they both went to bed early.
The next morning, after breakfast, Li Yu took Tang Xue to the film set, while Lin Xiaoxiao went to the company alone.
Tang Xue's previous scenes hadn't reached the point of her becoming psychologically disturbed, so Lin Xiaoxiao wasn't too worried. Naturally, she also wanted to take advantage of this time to deal with things at the company first.
She didn't want to work overtime like last time. Just thinking about the backlog of work from that period made Lin Xiaoxiao feel like the air itself was oppressive.
Since there was no need to worry about Tang Xue's situation for the time being, Lin Xiaoxiao just worked her regular job these past few days and didn't go to the film set to visit Tang Xue after get off work.
The location where the crew filmed this time was even farther than the filming location of "I Want to Become a Demon". It takes six hours to drive there and back, and that's assuming there's no traffic.
So Lin Xiaoxiao thought she could finish all the work she had arranged in advance so that she could go there and join the crew, stay for a few more days, and not have to rush back every day.
In the past few days, she has been in frequent contact with Tang Xue to inquire about the filming progress on Tang Xue's side, and she is only at ease when she is sure that it has not reached the part she is worried about.
"Chairman, when you hired me, you didn't just want to be a hands-off manager, did you?"
Although he had already guessed that he was just a tool, Lin Chuze still asked the question that he had been holding in for a long time.
Lin Xiaoxiao gave him a strange look before nodding without hesitation, "The capable should do more, and everyone can see your abilities."
Lin Chuze wasn't stupid. He'd been with the company for so long, and Lin Chuze had already given him all the work he could.
It would be rather ridiculous if he still didn't realize his role as a mere tool.
However, Lin Xiaoxiao didn't feel embarrassed at all. In her opinion, Lin Chuze had such abilities, so he should naturally take on greater responsibilities.
Besides, Lin Chuze is just doing his job for money, and it's not like I'm not paying him.
Seeing Lin Xiaoxiao's unwavering attitude, Lin Chuze was somewhat amused and exasperated. "The chairman finished all the work ahead of schedule so that he could accompany Miss Tang, right?"
When Tang Xue was mentioned, Lin Chuze's expression became somewhat subtle. When he was dealing with Lin Yu, he had naturally done some investigation, and through this investigation, he naturally learned about the relationship between Tang Xue and Lin Yu.
What he didn't expect was that Tang Xue and Lin Xiaoxiao would end up together.
"Yes." Lin Xiaoxiao nodded, then sighed. To be honest, Lin Xiaoxiao was really worried about the role Tang Xue was going to play. Even though she compromised in the end, she still had a lot of concerns.
Lin Chuze naturally had no idea what Lin Xiaoxiao was worried about, but he couldn't very well ask about it.
"Alright, this should be the last one." Lin Xiaoxiao quickly regained her composure, closed the documents in her hand, stood up, and stretched.
"Starting tomorrow, I won't be coming to the company anymore. I'll be handing everything over to you. If you can handle something, don't come to me."
Actually, Lin Xiaoxiao really wanted to say that she hoped Lin Chuze could handle all the work in the future, so that she wouldn't have to trouble herself.
"I understand." Lin Chuze replied somewhat helplessly, but gave Lin Xiaoxiao an affirmative answer.
Lin Xiaoxiao patted Lin Chuze on the shoulder with satisfaction, then asked the driver to take her home. She planned to get a good rest tonight and go see Tang Xue tomorrow.
When Lin Xiaoxiao spoke with Tang Xue that evening, she didn't tell Tang Xue that she was going to visit her the next day, because she wanted to give Tang Xue a surprise.
After exchanging a few sweet nothings as usual, the two went to rest.
At this moment, Lin Xiaoxiao was unaware that Tang Xue was actually hiding something from her, and she had no idea what kind of scene she would see when she went to the film set the next day.
