Huayu: King of Kung Fu

Chapter 123 Is it my fault that I'm handsome?

Xiaohua's full moon celebration was held in a relatively low-key manner.

Lin Hu and Zhou Xun are too famous, but they are not a couple, so they should be careful about their social impact.

The relatives of both the Lin and Zhou families were mostly in their hometowns and didn't come; they only invited some close friends from the entertainment industry.

The one-month-old baby was born with a beautiful and adorable appearance. Her two big, dark eyes blinked brightly and were very lively, just like her mother.

The guests showered her with compliments, praising her beauty, cuteness, and obedience.

The praise made Lin Hu and Zhou Xun, the parents, extremely happy.

The duo Li Xiaowan and Li Shaohong also arrived, surrounding Zhou Xun and playing with the child, their faces full of kind smiles.

Li Xiaowan said, "What a beauty! What's her name?"

Zhou Xun said, "Lin Xiaoye, Xiao as in knowing, Ye as in tree leaf."

"Xiaoye, it sounds nice, why is it called that?"

"At the Hundred Flowers Awards, Xiao Hu made a wish that if he had a boy, his nickname would be Xiao Bai, and if he had a girl, her nickname would be Xiao Hua. Since she was a girl, Xiao Hu said, 'If her nickname is Hua, then her formal name will be Ye.' So, they named her Lin Xiao Ye."

Li Xiaowan felt that the name was chosen rather casually, but what name to choose was the parents' business, and she couldn't interfere.

She waved to Xiaohua with a smile and said, "Hello, little Lin Xiaoye!"

In fact, Lin Hu didn't choose the name randomly. He named his daughter this to commemorate his original self from the original timeline.

In the original timeline, his name was a combination of his parents' surnames. His mother's surname was Ye, so his given name was simply Ye.

Lin Hu gave his daughter his former name, adding the character "Xiao" because he felt it sounded better that way.

Fan Binbin also came. She had said before that she only considered Zhou Xun as Lin Hu's ex-wife and Xiao Hua as Lin Hu's daughter with his ex-wife.

As the current wife, it's only natural that she would love Lin Hu's children as her own, extending that love to them.

There are quite a few stepmothers in this world who are good to their husbands' children from their previous marriages, and Lin Hu just considers her to be broad-minded.

Fan Binbin knew her place; at the full moon celebration banquet, she didn't act like the hostess and obediently ate with the guests.

Lin Hu found an opportunity to take Xiao Hua and give her a hug to Fan Binbin.

Fan Binbin held the little flower in his arms, feeling its sweet, milky scent. He thought it was beautiful and adorable, and quickly fell in love with the little darling.

As she played with Xiaohua, she couldn't help but whisper to Lin Hu, "Will Xiaohua call me 'Mom' from now on?"

Lin Hu was both relieved and speechless, and said, "She will be raised by Xun-ge'er, and when she grows up, she will at most call you 'Auntie'."

Fan Binbin said, "Sister Zhou Xun is very generous; she didn't let the young actress take the surname Zhou, but instead gave her the surname Lin like you."

Lin Hu chuckled: "Xiao Hua is my daughter, of course she takes my surname."

After Xiaohua's full moon celebration, Lin Hu became extremely busy.

He needed to work on the post-production of "The Legend of the Martial Arts," find time to visit his daughter, and keep an eye on the progress of "My Sassy Girl."

At the end of the semester, he still had to go back to school to show up and take an exam.

In the first year of acting, students are required to study theoretical foundations and are not allowed to take on acting roles outside of acting. Leave is granted on a case-by-case basis in the second year.

Lin Hu is a special student; he does big things outside the school, and the school doesn't care about him.

However, you still need to earn enough credits to graduate.

Today was an exam for a performance theory class. As soon as Lin Hu arrived in the classroom, his classmates greeted him warmly.

Since they were classmates, Lin Hu smiled and agreed, wanting to give him some face.

He had a good memory; although he hadn't met these classmates many times, he could accurately call out each of their names, which impressed many people.

Flattered.

Lin Hu and the others chatted awkwardly when Yao Dazui leaned in to strike up a conversation: "Brother Tai, you must be pretty busy usually, do you have time to read?"

Lin Hu laughed and said, "No, who can lend me their copy later?"

The students immediately signed up enthusiastically.

Du Chun said, "Just copy mine. I'm sitting close to you, I'll move my paper over here later."

Yao Dazui rolled his eyes at him and said, "You're not doing very well in this course."

He then smiled and said to Lin Hu, "I'll sit in front of you and pass you a note later."

Someone else said, "Tai-ge, you can just copy me. I'm not bragging, but I'm the best at this course!"

"You're just bragging! Tai, copy me—"

The whole class actually started arguing over the right to pass Lin Hu cheat sheets.

Seeing the argument escalating, Lin Hu complained, "If you all start throwing notes at me, it'll be like a rainstorm! I'm definitely failing this course!"

Everyone was stunned for a moment, feeling that they had been too obsequious, and they all shut up.

Lin Hu took out his phone and sent a text message to Gao Yuanyuan, who was sitting not far away and hadn't said a word: "Yuanyuan, can I copy this later?"

Gao Yuanyuan replied: "I failed the test!"

Lin Hu was just saying that; he could memorize theoretical lessons that involved reading from the book twice.

Lin Hu finished writing quickly and was the first to hand in his paper. He even flicked a note to Gao Yuanyuan.

The course on performing arts theory was taught by the class teacher, Xu Xiaodan, who was also the proctor.

Xu Xiaodan was very surprised to see that Lin Hu was the first to hand in his paper, and immediately graded Lin Hu's paper.

She knew Lin Hu truly understood the question from the very first one, and the more she looked at the questions, the more alarmed she became.

"You're amazing! Not only have you learned it thoroughly, but you also have your own understanding."

Lin Hu laughed and said, "I've acted in a few movies and communicated with some big directors. By comparing the acting methods with the content in the books, I pretty much understood it."

"Yes, practice makes perfect, very good!"

Xu Xiaodan waved the test paper in her hand and announced on the spot, "Lin Hu, full marks!"

The whole class was extremely embarrassed. They had just been scrambling to give each other cheat sheets, and it was more like they were copying each other's work.

After the exam, Lin Hu planned to have lunch at the school cafeteria with Gao Yuanyuan, but Gao Yuanyuan said, "Everyone is going to have a get-together today."

As soon as she finished speaking, class monitor Liang Jingke came over and said, "Brother Tai, our whole class is going out for a meal today, why don't you come along?"

Liang Jingke is an artistic gymnast who switched to acting. She has a good figure but is of average appearance, and she mostly played supporting roles later on.

When Lin Hu saw that Gao Yuanyuan was also going, he nodded in agreement.

He didn't try to show off by offering to treat everyone or anything. He just followed the others to a restaurant near the school and went up to the second floor.

There were over thirty of them, sitting at four tables, ordering a ton of dishes, having a lively time, eating and drinking, and the atmosphere was great.

A short while later, Du Chun took the opportunity of offering a toast to come over and recommend himself.

"Brother Tai, I heard your company is casting for a new film. Do we have a chance to audition?"

Lin Hu generously stated, "This is an open audition for the male lead. If anyone is interested, we can schedule a time to audition together."

Everyone was delighted to hear this.

Lin Hu then changed the subject, pointing at Du Chun and saying, "However, the requirement for this movie is that the male lead can't be a grand tutor. You're very handsome, so give up on that idea!"

Du Chun, somewhat helplessly yet with a touch of arrogance, said, "Is it my fault that I'm handsome?"

Lin Hu retorted, "If you need a handsome guy to act, I'll do it myself. Do you think you can be more handsome than me?"

Everyone burst into laughter, leaving Du Chun speechless for a moment.

Yang Zhigang felt he wasn't very handsome, so he asked, "Brother Tai, do you think I'm good enough?"

Lin Hu sized him up and said politely, "You can give it a try, but whether Director Peter Chan uses you or not is none of my business!"

Yang Zhigang was overjoyed and said, "Thank you, Brother Tai. If I couldn't get it, it's because I wasn't capable enough!"

In fact, it wouldn't have made any difference if Yang Zhigang went; Lin Hu already had someone in mind.
