Chapter 556 "Super Body" is released
Jing Tian came out of the kitchen carrying a bowl of white fungus soup.
"Big White Sister, here you go."
"Thank you, Tian Tian."
Li Dabai took the bowl, smiled, and thanked him.
"Mmm, it tastes really good."
Li Dabai took a sip and praised it.
"If it tastes good, drink more."
What do you want to eat tonight? Your girlfriends will make it for you.
"Anything is fine, just don't make it too complicated."
"No trouble at all, no trouble at all."
Qin Lan and the others got up and walked towards the kitchen.
When Fu Yibai came home from get off work, this was the scene he saw when he opened the door.
The long table was laden with dishes, and the women sat around it. Zhao Ning and Jing Chen sat in their respective chairs, chatting away. Laughter and aromas wafted from the dining room into the entryway.
"You're back?"
Li Dabai was the first to notice the commotion at the door.
"I came back earlier than usual today."
Fan Binbin walked over and took the bag from Fu Yibai's hand.
"I'll be back after the meeting at the Ministry of Justice."
Fu Yibai changed into slippers and followed Fan Binbin to the restaurant.
"How have you been feeling lately? Have you been experiencing any discomfort?"
"It's fine, just a little tiring."
"If you feel tired, then rest more for the next few days and take care of yourself."
"Yes, I've already turned down all the other invitations."
I'm just staying at home.
"Alright, go wash your hands and then come eat."
Fan Binbin pushed Fu Yibai toward the restroom.
After dinner, the lights in the villa were turned to a warm yellow.
Zhao Ning and Jing Chen were taken upstairs to sleep. The two little ones lay side by side in the crib, sleeping on their backs.
Li Dabai leaned back on the living room sofa with a thin blanket draped over his legs.
Fan Binbin sat next to her peeling an apple. His knife skills were swift and precise; the apple peel remained intact from beginning to end, curling into a circle and landing on the plate.
"You have this skill too?"
Li Dabai accepted the apple slices handed to him by Fan Binbin.
"When you're under a lot of pressure, use this to relieve stress, and you'll develop the skills."
"You're amazing."
I eat when I'm stressed.
Yang Mi came downstairs, changed into a light gray loungewear outfit, and let her hair fall over her shoulders.
She sat down on the other side of Li Dabai and gently placed her hand on her lower abdomen.
"How does it feel?"
"I can't feel anything right now."
Li Dabai pressed her hand against the back of his own hand.
"In another two months, I'll be able to feel a heartbeat."
"That's amazing."
Yang Mi's tone was full of envy.
Fan Binbin took a bite of an apple next to him.
"Don't worry, Mimi, it'll be your turn after you finish filming your movie."
"Who said I was thinking about that?"
Qin Lan brought out a pot of longan and red date tea from the kitchen and poured a cup for everyone.
The tea soup is a deep amber color, and the steam carries a sweet jujube aroma.
"Where's Rongrong?" Qin Lan looked around.
"They're upstairs putting Zhaoning to sleep."
Liu Yan walked down the stairs.
"Zhao Ning just woke up and cried twice."
Jingchen, on the other hand, was sleeping like a log; even with his sister crying so loudly, he didn't wake up.
"Yi Bai, go to Da Bai's place tonight."
She just got back, and it feels so lonely sleeping alone.
But you're not allowed to do anything reckless.
"I know."
Fu Yibai put down his teacup.
"I just slept with her."
"What do you mean by sleeping with me?"
Li Dabai laughed out loud.
"You make it sound like you're the one who's wronged."
"I'm not wronged."
Fu Yibai turned to look at her.
"It's my duty to keep you company."
Li Dabai's lips curved slightly, but he didn't say anything more.
The group chatted for a while longer.
At 9:30, Fan Binbin was the first to stand up.
"Alright, everyone go to bed early."
Big White flew all day and needs a good rest.
Yang Mi and Qin Lan also stood up and went upstairs.
Liu Yan kissed Fu Yibai on the cheek, whispered "Take good care of Sister Dabai," and then went upstairs.
Only Fu Yibai and Li Dabai remained in the living room.
Fu Yibai reached out and helped Li Dabai up from the sofa, then put his arm around her waist and walked upstairs.
The next morning, Li Dabai was awakened by laughter from downstairs.
She turned over, and the bed next to her was empty.
She changed into her home clothes and went downstairs. As she reached the corner of the stairs, she heard Tang Yan's loud voice.
As Li Dabai walked down the stairs, Tang Yan and Guo Zhenni jumped up from the sofa at the same time.
"Big White!"
Tang Yan walked over quickly, slowed down when she was two steps away from Li Dabai, and carefully gave her a hug.
After hugging him, he stepped back half a step and looked him up and down.
"You've gained a little weight."
"It's probably because I haven't been exercising much lately."
"Stop exercising, eat more, and take good care of yourself."
Guo Zhenni also came over and gave her a gentle hug, then looked down at her lower abdomen.
"Boy or girl."
Before Li Dabai could answer, Tang Yan slapped Guo Zhenni's shapely buttocks.
"Are you stupid? How could you possibly figure that out in such a short time?"
"I forgot, I forgot."
The two women helped Li Dabai to sit down on the sofa, and the women started chatting away again.
On September 20, "Lucy" officially ended its global run.
The final box office figure for domestic cinemas was 1.13 billion yuan.
The global box office performance was equally solid.
With a North American box office of $87 million, it's quite an achievement for a Hollywood-style sci-fi film starring a Chinese actress.
The three major European markets contributed a combined $93 million, Japan contributed $38 million, South Korea contributed $26 million, and Southeast Asia and other regions combined contributed over $50 million.
The total global box office finally reached $420 million.
This figure isn't top-tier for a Hollywood A-list production, but for a mid-sized sci-fi film with a budget of less than $50 million, the return on investment is enough to satisfy any production company.
But these are not the most important things. The most important thing is that Liu Yifei officially entered the global audience's field of vision with this movie.
This laid a good foundation for her future international development.
