Entertainment: I am the peak

Chapter 424 You'll Be Mine Forever

Starting from the night of the 24th, Liu Yifei began to look forward to it, falling asleep with innocent daydreams.

That night, she deliberately ignored Li Qiutang, putting on airs. Fortunately, Li Qiutang finished work late that day, and by the time he returned, Liu Yifei was so tired that her eyelids were drooping.

The next morning, Liu Xiaoli arrived at the Huairou base.

Liu Yifei understood, of course, that her mother was coming to celebrate her birthday with her.

Li Qiutang acted as if nothing had happened and went to work early in the morning.

However, the production team adjusted the schedule today in an effort to wrap up filming as soon as possible.

As usual, Liu Yifei stayed by Li Qiutang's side and watched him work.

"You've trained together for almost a month, so you should have some understanding of the tone of voice people used in that era."

"Be steadfast, be convinced. A thorough materialist is fearless!"

Within the limited space, Li Qiutang hoped to capture the madness of that era.

While Li Qiutang was directing the actors on set, producer Chen Guofu, who hadn't been seen on set for a long time, appeared in the studio—Li Qiutang was in charge of the filming, and he could slack off and not come.

After explaining the scene to the actors and setting up the set, Li Qiutang didn't return to the director's booth. Instead, she stood to the side watching them act so she could call a stop and make adjustments at any time.

The training was certainly helpful; at least the scene in the morning went very smoothly. Except for the pyrotechnician inexplicably setting off smoke and being scolded by Li Qiutang, Li Qiutang was practically amiable the rest of the time.

At noon, Shu Chang arrived at the Huairou base from the Hengdian "The Journey of Flower" film crew.

"Oh! What brings you here? Haven't you finished filming yet?" Liu Yifei was pleasantly surprised.

"I took leave to fly here especially to be with you. Aren't you touched?" Shu Chang said affectionately, holding Liu Yifei's hand.

"You're still the best."

After lunch and an hour's rest, the crew resumed work.

At 3:30 p.m., Yang Mi took leave from the filming of "The Third Way of Love" in Shanghai and came to the filming location of "Mojin: The Lost Legend".

"Mimi, what brings you here!?"

“I might not come at other times, but how could I not come today?” Yang Mi said with a smile.

Tang Yan arrived at the Huairou film set just half an hour after Yang Mi! She had taken leave from the Suzhou "My Sunshine" crew.
"Tangtang, you're here too!" Liu Yifei was really happy that so many good friends came today.

The visitor greeted Li Qiutang, but it didn't affect his normal filming schedule.

Twenty minutes after Tang Yan arrived, Yao Beina and Huang Chengzi, two childhood friends from Jiangcheng, arrived in the same car and parked outside the photography studio.

Liu Yifei was so happy she didn't know what to say.

Half an hour later, Zhou Yang called and asked Liu Yifei, "Which photography studio are you in Huairou? We'll come straight over."

"You guys? Who else?" Liu Yifei was a little confused.

"There's also Ya Wen and Wang Jia, with Ya Wen as the driver."

"Studio 9, I'm right at the entrance."

When Zhu Yawen brought Wang Jia and Zhou Yang to meet Liu Yifei, Luo Jin was still 10 kilometers away from the film and television base.

When Luo Jin's car stopped next to Liu Yifei's feet, Zhang Liangying complained in the "Secret Base for Big Things" group: "Stuck in traffic! Right in the middle of rush hour!"

Yao Beina replied to her in the group: "No rush, Qiu Tang hasn't finished work yet."

Ye Ning arrived before Zhang Liangying and was taken aback when she got to the set: "So many guests today!"

Ye Ning was unaware of the secret base complex that was causing a major incident. He was only here today to celebrate the female lead's birthday—as the producer of this production, shouldn't he be there to celebrate the female lead's birthday?

Coincidentally, Zhang Zhao and Zhang Liangying's cars arrived one after the other.

Liu Yifei's heart was already racing. So many good friends had come to celebrate her birthday today, and she was so happy and grateful.

Liu Xiaoli was also very excited. She didn't know about the secret base group for making big things happen. Seeing so many good friends come all the way to celebrate Liu Yifei's birthday, she was naturally very grateful.

Many more friends have been arriving from all directions.

Huang Xiaoming arrived relatively late; it was almost dark when he got there.

Qin Lan arrived even later.

But what Liu Yifei and Liu Xiaoli least expected was that Li Qiutang's parents also came!
Li Qiutang's assistant just picked her up from the airport.

This truly flattered Liu Yifei.

Liu Xiaoli said, "Qianqian is a junior, and it's a trouble for you to make this trip for her birthday."

Mr. and Mrs. Li said they were just staying at home anyway, so they came out to get some fresh air. In a few days, when school starts, Mr. Li won't be available anymore.

Li Qiutang watched the replay over and over again, and finally said to Liu Ye, Chen Minghao, Jing Tian and the others, "That's enough, let's call it a day."

By this time it was completely dark. Li Qiutang called to the staff and actors, "Hurry up and finish work and come over. Tian Tian, ​​you guys hurry up and remove your makeup and change your clothes."

Liu Yifei's birthday party was held in the office building of Huairou Film and Television Base in the autumn.

Although there was no surprise birthday greeting this year, Liu Yifei was very happy to have so many friends come all the way, including her in-laws.

As the host, Liu Yifei treated her friends to food, drinks, and fun.

"Oh—" Li Qiutang's appearance caused a stir.

After finishing work, this show-off went back, took a quick shower, changed into a suit—a haute couture suit that Liu Yifei bought for him, which he rarely wore more than twice a year, but today was the perfect opportunity.

Liu Yifei was dressed casually today. Seeing Li Qiutang dressed formally, she laughed and said, "It's so hot today, aren't you hot wearing this?"

"It's hot. Didn't you see I'm not wearing a tie?" Li Qiutang's back was already sweating.

Yao Beina, always eager to stir up trouble, disregarded the presence of Liu Yifei's mother and in-laws, and exclaimed, "Wow, you're so handsome! Give me your daughter, Qianqian!"

Liu Yifei laughed and said, "We'll have to wait until after today to decide."

While they were chatting and laughing, suddenly all the lights in the room went out with a bang.

"Happy birthday to you—" The birthday song drifted in from outside the door.

The film's visual effects supervisor, Douglas, pushed a cake cart for her, on which was a super luxurious four-tiered cake with candles lit on top.

The entire audience sang a birthday song for her.

"Happy birthday to you~~~" The singing faded away amidst thunderous applause.

"Thank you everyone." Liu Yifei was very happy.

Li Qiutang was standing next to the cake cart when Liu Yifei asked him, "Where's the gift? I won't do it without a gift."

"Make a wish and blow out the candles first. The candles are almost burned out. I'll give you the gift after you blow them out."

Liu Yifei forced her eyes open and silently recited her birthday wish before blowing out the candles.

“Yifei,” Li Qiutang said, now standing next to Huang Chengzi, “we got together in June 2009, when you were 22 years old…”

"21," Liu Yifei retorted stubbornly.

Hahahaha!

Li Qiutang glared at her, and Yang Mi chuckled and gently pushed her to shut up. Li Qiutang continued, "I didn't miss your 22nd birthday, nor did I miss any of your birthdays after that."

"Today is your birthday again. I want to make up for all the birthdays I missed for you in the previous 21 years."

Liu Yifei's heart skipped a beat, and she immediately felt like crying.

Huang Chengzi was holding a box, which Li Qiutang opened: "This is your first birthday present, a set of baby bottles and nipples." Liu Yifei chuckled.

Next, they came to Yao Beina's side.

"You're two years old now. These are the little shoes and socks I'm giving you."

Zhang Liangying's box contained two books: "When you turn three, I'll give you a fairy tale book and a picture book."

Tang Yan held a pretty doll in her hand: "You're four years old, here's a pretty Barbie doll for you."

Come to Yang Mi's place.

"When you turn five, I'll give you a music box."

Liu Yifei thought she could hold on, but she didn't expect to want to cry at the age of five.

Shu Chang.

"You're six years old now, it's time for you to start elementary school. Here's a schoolbag for you."

Zhou Yang.

"I'll give you a fun bubble machine when you turn seven."

Wang Jia.

"At eight years old, you must be quite vain. Here's a mirror and a comb for you."

Zhu Yawen.

"You're nine years old. You like to draw, so here's a box of watercolor pens for you."

Luo Jin.

"You're ten years old now, here's a beautiful princess dress for you."

Huang Xiaoming.

"Here's a water bottle for your eleventh birthday."

Liu Yifei was already crying her eyes out. Li Qiutang stepped forward and hugged her: "Do you still want to watch?"

"Look! I'll watch it even if I cry myself to death today."

Qin Lan.

"Twelve years old, your first year of your birth sign, here's a big red envelope for you."

"This is boring," Liu Yifei complained while crying.

Li Qiutang smiled and said, "The interesting part is yet to come."

Zhang Zhao.

"You're thirteen, going through puberty. Here's a bottle of perfume for you."

Ye Ning.

"You're fourteen, and you'll soon be acting. Here's a camera for you to record your performances."

Wang Changtian.

“When you were fifteen, you acted in ‘The Story of a Noble Family,’ and I gave you the original novel.”

Chen Kailin.

"At sixteen, you're already a young lady. Here's a necklace for you."

Liu Ye.

"How about I give you a pair of earrings when you turn seventeen?"

Chen Minghao.

"You're eighteen now, an adult. It's a pity I missed your coming-of-age ceremony, so I'm giving you this gift to make up for it. I'm giving you a pair of crystal shoes. These shoes aren't actually made of crystal; they're just inlaid with something that makes them very sparkly, hence the name 'crystal shoes.' I don't really know anything about them."

Liu Yifei and the guests all laughed.

Jing Tian.

"At nineteen, you're already a big star. Here's a bag for you. I don't know much about bags, but Tang Yan picked it out for me. It's quite expensive. If you don't like it, you can hit her."

"Hahahaha!"

Tang Yan was laughing so hard she almost died.

Chen Guofu.

"Twenty years old is a very important age. This is the newspaper from August 25, 2007. It is very memorable."

Art director Hao Yi.

“I know you’re 21 and I know you like sports cars. Although I’ve already given you a Ferrari, I still want to give you this car.” Hao Yi’s box contained the key to a Lamborghini Aventador. “The car is currently in the company’s underground parking lot and hasn’t been driven over yet. You can go and try it out when you have time.”

After giving out all twenty-one gifts, Liu Yifei was already in tears.

But it's not over yet.

Li Qiutang continued, "Today is your 27th birthday." He hooked his hand behind his back, and Luo Jin bent down and stuffed a bouquet of roses into his hand.

Li Qiutang held the flowers to her chest, took a small black box out of her pocket, opened it, and found the ring that Liu Yifei had been dreaming of.

"Ah—" The female guests had already started screaming.

Li Qiutang knelt down on one knee and presented flowers and a ring.

"Ms. Liu Yifei, 27 years old, will you marry me?"

Tang Yan was the first to lose her temper: "If a man did that to me, I'd give him my life. Qianqian, marry him!"

"Marry him! Marry him! Marry him!" all the friends shouted in unison.

Liu Xiaoli was also moved to tears, while Li's parents watched as if it were a spectacle, as if the two inside were not their son and daughter-in-law.

"Young people are quick-witted and good at making things happen."

Liu Yifei had been looking forward to this day for a long time. She accepted the flowers and cried tears of joy, saying, "I knew it." She wasn't stupid; with so many friends over, she guessed that Li Qiutang might propose tonight.

"Okay!" Liu Yifei nodded.

"Oh—" The whole stadium cheered, and the fireworks exploded with a bang!

Li Qiutang slipped the ring onto Liu Yifei's finger: "You'll be mine forever."

"You invited so many people here today just for this, right?" Liu Yifei said with a smile.

"Of course, would this group come even if I didn't mention proposing?"

"Give me a kiss!" Yang Mi started cheering!
"Kiss me! Kiss me!"

The two looked at each other, both feeling a little embarrassed, with so many people watching, including their parents.

But Liu Yifei closed her eyes first.

The two kissed and promised to cherish and protect each other forever.
