Who says Beijing Film Academy has no great directors? (2002)

Chapter 115 Liu Yifei also has body image anxiety

Liu Yifei had just finished filming "The Return of the Condor Heroes" in April, and when she returned, she kept complaining to Chen Yan.

"The director didn't dare to give me too much work, just a little bit each day and I'd leave, which made me feel really bad..."

'

"If I can't finish filming, Brother Xiaoming will have to film with me."

Chen Yan said, "Okay, okay, get some rest since you just got back."

Liu Yifei was clearly incredibly excited; she's such a goofball, it's not good if she doesn't have much work.

"No, I made plans with Sister Beina, we're going to the concert together!" Liu Yifei shook her head.

Liu Xiaoli came over with a plate of fruit and told Liu Yifei, "Don't let Bei Na get tired; she's not in good health."

"I know, I know, I'll keep an eye on her." Liu Yifei said, reaching for a strawberry and devouring it in one bite.

Liu Xiaoli glanced at Liu Yifei helplessly: "It's not like I'm not going to give you any, what's the rush?"

He sat down on the sofa and put the fruit on the table. "Xiao Chen, have some fruit."

"Hey." Chen Yan said, picking up a strawberry as well.

Liu Yifei leaned closer, forked a piece of mango with her fork, and asked, "Do you want to come with us?"

Chen Yan thought about the boring concert.

He refused, saying, "Never mind, I have an appointment for the second part of my driving test this afternoon."

Chen Yan enrolled in driving school a while ago and has already passed the first part of the test. Today he is going to take the second part.

Chen Yan knew how to drive in his previous life, so after he failed at driving school, the instructor didn't pay much attention to him and just gave him a car to practice on his own each time.

After Chen Yan drove a few laps, the coach told him to take the test.

Liu Yifei quickly swallowed the fruit in her mouth, raised her little hand and said, "Um... I want to get my driver's license too!"

Chen Yan glanced at Liu Yifei and pointed with his finger: "You're not old enough yet."

Upon hearing this, Liu Yifei's face immediately fell. The red Ferrari that Chen Yan had given her was still gathering dust in the garage, and Liu Xiaoli would drive it occasionally.

But she mostly drives another car from home; she feels the red Ferrari is too eye-catching.

Every time she drove it out, a crowd would gather around and people would take pictures, so Liu Xiaoli stopped liking to drive it.

However, Liu Yifei really liked that color and always wanted to sneak up and touch it, but Chen Yan and Liu Xiaoli worked together to stop her.

"You'll be taking the exam in three months, don't rush," Chen Yan said meaningfully.

After saying this, Chen Yan's gaze remained on the girl's youthful face.

After a few months apart, the baby fat on his face seems to have faded a bit, and looking down, some of his organs seem to have started to develop.

Seeing where Chen Yan's gaze lingered, Liu Yifei suddenly crossed her arms and glared at Chen Yan like a cat with its fur standing on end.

His eyes seemed to say: Where are you looking? Look again and I'll gouge your eyes out!

Chen Yan looked away, smiled, and said nothing.

Liu Xiaoli is still here, there's nothing he can do, so why is he in such a hurry?

This eerie atmosphere persisted even after Chen Yan left the Liu family home. Today, Liu Yifei, unusually, did not come out to see Chen Yan off, leaving Liu Xiaoli completely bewildered.

Did the two children have a fight?

Before leaving, Chen Yan deliberately patted Liu Yifei on the head, earning her an elbow strike.

"Well..."

Chen Yan clutched his stomach, which had been slapped, and looked at him with a hint of resentment.

It seems we can't let this little girl train anymore; her muscles are almost as solid as mine, and she's got an incredible amount of energy.

He couldn't help but wonder if he could control this girl after they got married.

Liu Xiaoli saw Liu Yifei elbow Chen Yan and clicked her tongue, thinking, "Isn't this girl a bit too wild?"

She could only roll her eyes at Liu Yifei: "Qianqian, stop fooling around."

Liu Yifei immediately withdrew her arm, put her hands behind her back, and acted as if she hadn't done anything.

"I'm leaving, Auntie." Chen Yan said goodbye to Liu Xiaoli politely, then glanced at Liu Yifei before turning and leaving.

Liu Yifei was still a little unaccustomed to not seeing Chen Yan off today. She stood blankly at the door watching Chen Yan leave the courtyard until he disappeared from sight.

Liu Xiaoli finally asked, "What's wrong? Did you have a fight with Chen Yan?"

Liu Yifei replied instinctively, "No, I'm just playing around with him."

Her face was still a little red after she finished speaking, but since her back was to Liu's mother, it wasn't very clear.

Liu Xiaoli didn't press further. She figured it was best to let the two of them handle their own affairs. She was confident that Xiao Chen knew his limits and wouldn't bully Qianqian.

"Okay, let's go back. We've been filming for so long, let's get some rest today."

"Okay, Mom." Liu Yifei was very obedient.

After returning from the concert that evening, Liu Yifei couldn't calm down; her mind had been foggy the whole time.

Back in her room, Liu Yifei closed her eyes but couldn't fall asleep.

The image of Chen Yan looking at him with lecherous eyes that afternoon kept popping into his mind. In the middle of the night, he suddenly sat up, covered his face with his hands, and mumbled "uh" for a while.

Then she looked down at herself, "Am I too small?"

"Ah!!! I can't think about it anymore, I need to sleep." After saying that, she leaned back and pulled the blanket over her face.

After a while, a muffled "ah" came from under the covers.

The next day, Liu Yifei secretly ordered some papayas online.

Liu Yifei wasn't the only one feeling this way. The closer Liu Yifei got to her eighteenth birthday, the more unbearable it became for Chen Yan. He wished that the moment he opened his eyes it would be Liu Yifei's eighteenth birthday.

After getting home in the evening and taking a cold shower, I finally felt refreshed and lay down on the bed.

After thinking about what kind of coming-of-age ceremony he should prepare for Liu Yifei, he decided to make it a big one.

Chen Yan received his driver's license in just half a month.

The next day, Chen Yan took Liu Yifei for a spin in his red Ferrari.

Liu Yifei knows how to drive, so she kept pestering Chen Yan to let her drive one too.

When things got really out of hand, Chen Yan took her go-karting.

After driving a few laps, Liu Yifei was so excited that her face turned red and she broke out in a sweat.

"Please, let me play one more round~" Liu Yifei clasped her hands together, looking innocently at Chen Yan with her big eyes.

"I'm going to school tomorrow, so I won't be able to play anymore~ Please?" Liu Yifei tugged at Chen Yan's sleeve.

It's not that Chen Yan is heartless, but Liu Xiaoli has already called twice to urge him.

If they get home any later, they might both get scolded.

But when I saw Liu Yifei's pitiful little eyes saying, "Please, please..."

Chen Yan was truly powerless to resist. "Alright then, one last lap."

"Yay! Hooray!"

Liu Yifei skipped off to play again. It's tough on this girl. Before, when she was young and living abroad, her mother wouldn't let her play these things. After returning to China, she plunged into the film crew and started an endless cycle, so she didn't have much time to go out and play.

Now that filming is finished, Chen Yan wanted her to rest for a while, but she has become popular again. Whenever she goes out, if she doesn't pretend, she will be surrounded by a bunch of people asking for autographs in no time.

My friend drove this go-kart, and I specially let her drive it over the weekend, renting out the whole place for her to play.

I didn't expect that we'd get so caught up in the fun that we ended up playing until late at night.

After completing the last lap, Liu Xiaoli called again to urge Chen Yan to finish, and Chen Yan finally firmly refused Liu Yifei's request for another lap.

"Ugh, I have to go to class tomorrow..." Liu Yifei was pulled away by Chen Yan, looking unhappy.

"I just want to stay home and rest all the time—" Liu Yifei covered her face, staring blankly at the sky.

Seeing Liu Yifei's resistance to going to school, Chen Yan frowned. "What's wrong? Is someone bullying you at school?"
