A reborn mother longs for her daughter's happiness.

Chapter 183 Liu Yixin and Fu Yu

"Liu Yixin! You're late again! Guli has been waiting for you for ages!" The director's voice, which was comparable to a lion's roar, rang out at the door of the dressing room on set, startling Liu Yixin, who was eating a fried dough stick, so much that she almost poked the dough stick up her nose.

"Coming, coming!" Liu Yixin mumbled as she hurriedly stuffed the remaining half of the fried dough stick into her mouth and rushed towards the dressing room with her cheeks puffed out. As she ran, she silently complained to herself, "It's so early in the morning, 520! Everyone else is on a sweet date, but I have to race against time in this film crew to do makeup for a big star."

As soon as she entered the dressing room, she saw Guli sitting in front of the dressing table, looking at her with a mournful expression. "Xinxin, you've finally arrived! I thought you were too busy celebrating 520 today," Guli said half-jokingly.

Liu Yixin chuckled and quickly opened her makeup case, starting to prepare her tools. "Sister Li, I was just thinking of giving you a beautiful makeover so you'll be the most dazzling person on set on May 520th. By the way, what big scene are you filming today?"

Guli blinked and said mysteriously, "Today we're filming the love scene between me and the male lead. It's super romantic, and it'll definitely melt the hearts of all the fans."

Liu Yixin's eyes lit up, her gossip spirit burning brightly. "Wow, then I'll have to put on a good show and transform you into a stunning beauty that will make the male lead fall in love at first sight."

Just as Liu Yixin was concentrating on applying makeup to Guli, her phone suddenly rang. She glanced at the screen; it was Fu Yu calling. "Hello, Yu Yu, what's up?" Liu Yixin answered the phone while continuing to apply eyeliner to Guli.

"Xin Xin, it's 520 today. Let's go out for steak tonight. I've made a reservation at the restaurant." Fu Yu's voice came from the other end of the phone, gentle and with a hint of anticipation.

Liu Yixin smiled sweetly. "Okay, but I might be busy on set until very late today, so don't wait up for me."

"It's okay, I'll wait for you. You go ahead and do your work, but don't overwork yourself," Fu Yu instructed.

After hanging up the phone, Guli looked at Liu Yixin with envy. "Xinxin, you and Teacher Fu have such a good relationship. He even specially invited you to eat steak on 520. Unlike me, I can only have romance in plays."

Liu Yixin laughed and joked, "Sister Li, the romance in your drama is enough to make fans swoon, and you're still envious of my little fling? Besides, you're a big star, the number of people chasing you could probably stretch from the film set all the way to outer space."

Guli rolled her eyes at her. "Come on, all that's just fluff. Nothing beats real love. You should cherish Teacher Fu, or you'll regret it later."

Liu Yixin stuck out her tongue. "Okay, Sister Li, don't worry, I'll definitely keep a close eye on Fu Yu."

After finishing her makeup, Guli went to the film set to shoot. Liu Yixin, meanwhile, was idly scrolling through her phone when a sudden inspiration flashed into her mind. "It would be really interesting to film an ancient 520 video on set." The more she thought about it, the better the idea seemed, so she quickly sent a message to Fu Yu, telling him her idea.

Not long after, Fu Yu replied: "This idea is fantastic! I'll be in charge of designing the ancient etiquette part, and you can handle the makeup and costume coordination. We're sure to make a super fun video."

Liu Yixin jumped up excitedly and immediately got to work. She first rummaged through the costume room, selecting two sets of costumes with a strong ancient style: a pink ruqun (a type of traditional Chinese dress) and a blue long robe. Then she found various ancient hair ornaments and accessories, ready to put on a big show.

Fu Yu wasn't idle either. He started setting up a scene in a corner of the set, placing some antique tables and chairs, tea sets, and hanging a few red lanterns to create a romantic atmosphere.

After everything was ready, Liu Yixin and Fu Yu changed into their ancient costumes. Liu Yixin wore a pink ruqun (a type of traditional Chinese dress), her long hair flowing, looking like an ancient beauty who had stepped out of a painting; Fu Yu wore a blue robe, looking elegant and dashing.

"Let's begin!" Liu Yixin gave a peace sign to the camera, then cleared her throat and said in a quirky tone, "Dear viewers, today is May 520th. On this modern day filled with love, we travel through time to ancient times to present you with a unique kind of romance."

Fu Yu stepped forward, bowed to Liu Yixin, and said in a serious tone, "Miss, seeing you today is like seeing a celestial being descend to earth; you have captivated my heart."

Liu Yixin covered her mouth and chuckled, then lowered her head, feigning shyness. "You flatter me, sir. I am but a mortal; how could I possibly be as kind as you say?"

The two chatted back and forth, imitating the dialogue of ancient lovers, making the crew members watching nearby burst into laughter. During filming, Fu Yu would occasionally forget his lines, causing Liu Yixin to laugh so hard she almost fell over.

"Yu Yu, how come your ancient etiquette teacher messed up at the crucial moment? You can't even remember your lines," Liu Yixin teased with a smile.

Fu Yu scratched his head sheepishly. "I was just too nervous. When I saw how beautiful you are, my mind went completely blank."

Liu Yixin rolled her eyes at him, but secretly she felt a sweet warmth in her heart. "Alright, alright, let's do it again. This time, you're not allowed to forget your lines again."

After several takes, the video was finally filmed. Liu Yixin and Fu Yu looked at the finished video and couldn't stop smiling. "I didn't expect we had such a talent for acting! This video is sure to go viral," Liu Yixin said proudly.

Fu Yu nodded. "That's right, they don't even know who we are. After dinner tonight, we'll edit the video and post it online."

Just then, Guli came over after finishing her scene. "Xinxin, what are you filming? It looks so lively."

Liu Yixin quickly showed the video she had just filmed to Guli. "Sister Li, take a look at our ancient 520 video, what do you think?"

After watching the video, Guli couldn't help but give it a thumbs up. "It's so interesting! With your acting skills, it's a shame you're not actors."

Liu Yixin and Fu Yu exchanged a smile, feeling incredibly happy.

Time flew by, and before they knew it, it was evening. Liu Yixin and Fu Yu changed their clothes and walked out of the film set hand in hand. "Finally, we can go eat steak! I'm starving!" Liu Yixin said as they walked.

Fu Yu affectionately patted her head. "Let's go, my little princess, I'll make sure you eat your fill today."

The two arrived at the reserved restaurant, which was decorated very romantically and filled with the fragrance of roses. The waiter led them to a table by the window and handed them the menu.

Liu Yixin's eyes nearly blurred as she looked at the menu. "Wow, so many delicious things, I don't know what to choose!"

Fu Yu smiled and said, "Then let's order one of everything and eat slowly."

Liu Yixin rolled her eyes at him. "Do you think I'm a glutton? It's such a waste if I can't finish my food."

Finally, the two ordered two steaks, a salad, and a bottle of red wine. While waiting for the food, Liu Yixin suddenly remembered the filming she had done during the day.

"Yu Yu, you said that Sister Guli and the male lead have such a good relationship in the drama, do you think they might develop feelings for each other in real life?" Liu Yixin asked with a gossipy look.

Fu Yu shook his head. "How would I know? But actors are just acting when they're filming; they don't necessarily have real feelings for each other. Besides, their work is special, so it's not easy for them to fall in love."

Liu Yixin nodded. "That's true, relationships like ours, as ordinary people, are more grounded. Although there aren't many dramatic events, every day is warm and cozy."

Just then, the waiter brought the dishes over. Looking at the delicious-looking steak in front of her, Liu Yixin couldn't wait to pick up her knife and fork, cut off a piece, and put it in her mouth. "Mmm, it's so delicious! Yu Yu, you should try some too!"

Fu Yu smiled and cut himself a piece of steak. The two chatted as they ate, sharing anecdotes from their time on set.

"Yu Yu, today is May 520th, is there anything you want to say to me?" Liu Yixin suddenly looked up at Fu Yu and asked.

Fu Yu put down his knife and fork and looked intently into Liu Yixin's eyes. "Xinxin, I want to tell you, I love you. Although I don't have many sweet words, I will prove my love for you with my actions. I hope we can continue like this, no matter what difficulties we encounter, we will never abandon each other."

Liu Yixin's eyes welled up with tears. She said emotionally, "Yuyu, I love you too. Thank you for your understanding and care all this time. I will always be with you."

After saying this, the two raised their glasses, clinked them together lightly, and then drank them down in one gulp. At that moment, time seemed to stand still, and the whole world consisted only of the two of them.

After dinner, Liu Yixin and Fu Yu walked home hand in hand. Moonlight shone on them, casting long shadows. "Yu Yu, today was really wonderful. This is the most special 520 I've ever had," Liu Yixin said happily, leaning on Fu Yu's shoulder.

Fu Yu said with a smile, "As long as you're happy, I'll spend every 520 with you from now on and create more surprises for you."

Liu Yixin looked up and gently kissed Fu Yu's cheek. "Okay, it's a deal."

Back home, the two sat together on the sofa and began editing the videos they had filmed during the day. As they edited, they reminisced about the funny things that happened during filming, laughing constantly.

"Yu Yu, look at your expression, it's hilarious, you look like a silly boy." Liu Yixin pointed to one of Fu Yu's expressions in the video, laughing so hard that tears almost came out.

Fu Yu couldn't help but laugh. "It's because you're so charming that I got so nervous that I lost control of my expression."

After much effort, the video was finally edited. Liu Yixin posted the video online with the caption: "On May 520th, on set, I traveled back to ancient times with my loved one and experienced a unique kind of romance. I hope everyone can also find their own happiness on this loving day."

The video received many likes and comments shortly after it was posted. Guli also left a comment: "So sweet! Wishing you eternal happiness!"

Seeing the blessings from netizens, Liu Yixin and Fu Yu smiled at each other. This 520, although there were no lavish gifts or grand ceremonies, they reaped abundant happiness and joy. They know that true love is not measured by material things, but by accompanying, understanding, and supporting each other in ordinary days.

On this night filled with love, Liu Yixin and Fu Yu embraced tightly, looking forward to many more beautiful days to come. They believe that as long as they love each other, they can overcome any difficulties together. This ancient 520 video will become a beautiful memory in their love story, forever treasured in their hearts.
