Quick Travel: Destiny for Thirty Lifetimes

The two returned to the old house together the next day. The old man knew that they didn't have much feelings for each other before, but now that they came hand in hand, he could see some meaning in them.

He and Lian Qingyang were playing chess, and Mu Yinchen was watching them, not helping him. He was happy inside, but kept a stern face. "You two are ganging up on me, an old man, right? Forget it, I won't play anymore. You didn't watch the show last night, so go watch it with me now. Qingyang's acting is really good! I asked the kitchen to cook some of your favorite food today, why don't you stay for it later?"

When the two men saw him stand up, they each supported him on either side. Mu Yinchen nodded and said, "Okay, I haven't had time to watch this TV series recently. Grandpa, can you tell me the plot?"

The old man snorted, "If you want to know, go and see for yourself. I won't have time to tell you later. Go to the kitchen and see what's going on. Qingyang will come with me."

Lian Qingyang was still very respectful and reserved in front of his lover's elders. He nodded obediently and looked at Mu Yinchen's back.

The two of them sat on the sofa. The old man watched Lian Qingyang turn on the projector and project the TV series. His eyes were full of satisfaction and kindness. "Qingyang, tell me honestly, how is Chen kid treating you now?"

In Lian Qingyang's memory, his grandfather looked at him with loving eyes as soon as he saw him. Every time he came, his grandfather would always find time to talk to him and scold Mu Yinchen for being ignorant.

Lian Qingyang was stunned for a moment, then a smile spread across his well-behaved face, filled with happiness. "Brother Chen is very good to me. Grandpa has seen the news online. I'm in Brother Chen's studio now."

Seeing that his expression was genuine, the old man smiled and nodded, "Grandpa knows that Chen was afraid he couldn't handle his brother, so he came to me for help. This kid finally did something practical. Your work requires you to spend less time together, and he still doesn't know how to find a solution. He deserves to suffer."

Lian Qingyang's face was filled with anxiety. After the old man finished speaking, he immediately spoke: "Grandpa is right, but I was also wrong. Brother Chen is really good. Now we are preparing to slowly return to our family. We may come to see you often in the future. I hope you don't find it annoying."

The old man sighed softly: "I've been waiting for you to come. It doesn't matter what happens if you two are fine."

"Grandpa, Qingyang, it's time to prepare dinner!" The two of them turned their heads and looked towards the restaurant when they heard the voice. Mu Yinchen smiled and waved at them, without any of his usual indifference.

The old man and Lian Qingyang looked at each other and saw smiles in each other's eyes. Lian Qingyang helped the old man stand up and walk towards the dining table.

"Let's go, let's go eat."

Not long after the meal, the three of them sat on the sofa and chatted. Mu's father and mother, who were traveling outside, somehow got the news and made a video call to Lian Qingyang.

As soon as Lian Qingyang answered the phone, Mu's mother's bright smile appeared on the screen, and her voice rang out: "Good afternoon, Qingbao. Dad and I heard that you went to see grandpa. Did you have lunch at grandpa's place? How was it? Is Achen with you?"

Mother Mu is a very cheerful and generous person. She always brings them a lot of new and interesting things when she comes back from traveling.

Her husband was aloof, and his sons were cut from the same cloth. Her eldest son's wife, though a girl, shared a similar temperament, being cool, capable, and dignified. While they would agree with her, they were all very rigid. In comparison, Lian Qingyang was perfectly suited to her, listening attentively and giving her satisfying feedback promptly, which was why she spoke to him quite often.

Usually, Mu's mother only greeted Lian Qingyang with text messages because she was afraid that Lian Qingyang had work and was busy enjoying the scenery. Now that she had time, she called him via video.

Lian Qingyang turned the camera to Grandpa and Mu Yinchen, then faced himself, raised his smile and greeted them obediently: "Good afternoon, Mom and Dad. My brother Chen and I just finished eating at Grandpa's place. Grandpa asked the kitchen to cook our favorite dishes for us. They are all delicious."

"Okay, Mom knows! I heard you went to Achen's studio? Are you used to it there? If the work is too tiring, ask Achen to give you more time off. You can't overwork yourself at such a young age."

Mu Yinchen poked his head out from the side and said, "Mom, I'm a capitalist. I'd be a fool not to exploit the labor force."

"You little brat, Qingbao is your wife. This is considered soft violence within the family. If you dare to do this, I will let your brother suppress your studio." Mother Mu could see that their relationship was much better than before. Seeing Mu Yinchen naturally put his arm around Lian Qingyang's shoulders, the smile in her words could not be wiped away.

"By the way, Qingbao, didn't you say you wanted to try the super delicious thing I sent you the day before yesterday? Daddy is going to bring the chef back home, and then he can make it for you. How about that?"

Lian Qingyang: ...I do want to eat, but there is really no need.

Mu Yinchen said from the side: "Don't bother. Chinese chefs are omnipotent and will definitely be able to make it."

Just as Mu's mother was about to scold him, Lian Qingyang chimed in, "Mom, Brother Chen is right. There's no need to go to so much trouble. I'm still looking forward to what you'll bring back. I haven't given you the things I bought for the filming yet. When will you be back?"

The two talked for a while before ending the video.

After returning from the old house, Mu Yinchen was about to follow the crew to shoot in other places, and Lian Qingyang also began to follow the crew to promote the show. Not long after, the joint endorsement of the two once again caused heated discussions on the Internet. Fans of the two had no time to fight each other and rushed to buy to increase sales.

During Mu Yinchen's filming, Lian Qingyang would visit the set from time to time, and he would not explain when he was photographed. Although there were many quarrels among fans, some people gradually accepted the fact that the two appeared frequently in hot searches, and speculated that the two were definitely a married couple. The internet trolls played an indispensable role in this effect.

The fans of the two groups have never stopped quarreling, and they would curse each other almost every few days. This situation continued until the spring of the following year. Mu Yinchen, who had just won the Best Actor Award for the Lunar New Year Film, suddenly announced that he would move behind the scenes and cancel all performing activities.

[: What's going on? Is today April Fools' Day? ]

【：My mind went blank when I saw the news. Is this true? 】

[: I can't believe this either. I've refreshed my page so many times, but this message is still stuck at the top. I'm suddenly so upset.]

Did Brother Mu lose a game with someone else? Hahahahahahahahahahahaha

【：But he never participates in party games...】

[: I don't believe it, husband, say something! Has someone hacked your account? o(╥﹏╥)o]

【：I promise I won't scold Lian Qingyang again. Can you come back? 】

【: I know you and Lian Qingyang are a couple. I have deleted all the comments cursing him. Please come back soon!!!】

Less than half a day later, fans who had not yet recovered saw Mu Yinchen appear in the vlog posted by Lian Qingyang.

...I feel depressed and aggrieved, so I reluctantly follow Lian Qingyang.

"This year's Best Actor at the Joaquin Phoenix Film Festival is Lian Qingyang from 'Silent'!"

The Joaquin Film Festival is the highest-honor award ceremony in the country, held every four years. The winner of the Best Actor award in the previous session was Mu Yinchen. This time, he became the director of the Best Actor crew and pushed Lian Qingyang to the position of Best Actor.

When Lian Qingyang was called, he nodded calmly to the camera, stood up, hugged the person next to him, and walked onto the stage. He stood in the center, holding the trophy and looking at Mu Yinchen who was sitting in the middle and looking at him.

"First of all, I want to thank my family, my crew, everyone who has helped me, and every fan who has supported me. Thank you for allowing me to reach this point. I also want to thank my past self for making every right decision, which led me to meet the right person. I want to say that I will inherit your glory and promise you a future. With you by my side, I will have no regrets in my life."
