However, this was still a few months away, so Shen Qingshu didn’t think too much and planned to talk about it at that time.

Everything should be fine1, there’s no use overthinking. He went online and celebrated the new year with netizens.

Surf the Internet happily with everyone!

After Han Cheng inquired about the variety show, he thought of something and asked, “Your literary creation is almost coming to an end?”

“Soon.” Shen Qingshu confirmed.

At this point, he was a little helpless. Originally, he thought he could finish ‘that night’ in a week. As a result, while writing it seemed to keep extending for another week.

Shen Qingshu was a little embarrassed, but his readers loved it. They even shouted “marriage will never end, marriage will never graduate”. Car god smashed 20 space stations directly, hinting that he would like to read the next book with this pairing.

“What will you write next?” Han Cheng asked him.

“Write a campus romance.” Shen Qingshu hesitantly said.

“BL?”

“Yes.”

“Also Cheng Han and Su Qing?”

“This… I’m still thinking about it.”

“Do you still need to consider?” Han Cheng was shocked. He sent two private messages to Shen Qingshu, and simultaneously 20 space stations were smashed. Why is it still under consideration?

“I think Su Qing and Cheng Han are very good. Continue to write about them.”

Shen Qingshu was surprised, “Are you their stan too?”

“Since I don’t plan to change cars and you don’t plan to change drivers, this is just right.”

That’s true.

But isn’t this making it convenient for Han Cheng to recite in his ear?

One novel of ‘that night’ has been enough for Han Cheng to sing for a long time. Writing another, he will never be able to overturn Han Cheng!

“Let me think again, think again.” Shen Qingshu needed to think carefully.

Han Cheng didn’t know he had this concern at all. He just questioned whether it was necessary to tangle for so long to write a novel?

Alas, a vulgar businessman like him doesn’t understand.

As they were talking, they heard a knock at the door.

Shen Qingshu goes to open the door and finds that it’s Zhou Jianming.

“Here you are. The schedule for tomorrow and the day after tomorrow has been adjusted. Your scenes have been put forward, please prepare.” Zhou Jianming handed over the A4 paper in his hand.

Shen Qingshu glanced suspiciously and was surprised to find that there were none of Su Luo’s scenes on the two forms.

“Why aren’t there any of Su Luo’s scenes?”

Zhou Jianming came in, closed the door and whispered, “I asked the deputy director. The deputy director said that director Li was not very satisfied with her performance these days. So he specially changed the schedule to teach her a lesson.”

Shen Qingshu nodded, “So that’s the case.”

“Well, you’ve performed well. The deputy director said director Li is very optimistic about you, so he adjusted your scene’s to be moved up. After a while, the first version of the clip will be released and then you can choose which edits are best for you to release.”

“Is the first version coming out so soon?”

“The first edition is only a few tens of seconds, it’s not long. Besides, if you release materials slowly, you can keep your popularity up. Otherwise, it’s terrible if you finish shooting and the public has forgotten you..”

“Yes.”

“Then I’ll take my leave.”

Zhou Jianming said, “I’m leaving, Han Shao.”

“En.”

Seeing that he had left, Shen Qingshu walked back and sat on the sofa looking at the new schedule.

Han Cheng came over and took a look, “You have a lot of scenes.”

“It’s normal. After all, it’s the second male lead role.”

“Work hard.”

“I will.” Shen Qingshu smiled.

“Have you memorised all the lines of these scenes?”

“Of course I did.” Shen Qingshu was very proud, “who am I? I memorised all my lines before shooting started.”

“Amazing.” Han Cheng laughed. “Since you’ve memorised it, we can do something else.”

Shen Qingshu: …

“I’ve already refuelled you verbally just now, so now, I’m going to use my actions to refuel you seriously and responsibly.”

Shen Qingshu: … It’s not necessary!

“Let’s go and take a bath or do you want me to carry you?” Han Cheng smiles.

Shen Qingshu refused, “Who will refuel with you? Refuel by yourself. It’s clearly agreed in the car this morning that you won’t go on the road for the next two days.”

He said that, stood up and prepared to leave. Han Cheng stretched out his hand, directly grabbed his waist, pulled the man into his arms and made him sit on his lap.

“Don’t worry, I am such a good driver. Naturally, I do what I say. I refuel manually and won’t do an in-depth refuel.”

Shen Qingshu: … Is that ok?

“You won’t refuse will you?” Han Cheng was stunned. “It won’t be tiring and only once.”

Shen Qingshu thought for a while. It seemed that it should be fine, “Well, just once.”

“No problem.” Han Cheng smiled and kissed him on the face.

Shen Qingshu smiled and hooked his neck. “Then carry me. I’m too lazy to walk.”

Han Cheng laughed, “Ten years for trees, a hundred years for people, people are like Zhou Shuren2. You are even better, Shen Sloth Shu.”

“You’re flattering me too much.” Shen Qingshu looked at him, eyes revealing exaggerated shock, “With how talented and virtuous I am. When put with my husband, he will only be humiliated.”

Han Cheng: …

“You are quite modest.”

“Well, I’ve always been so modest. To tell you the truth, I often feel guilty for being too modest.” Shen Qingshu sighed, “This is me, how modest I am and how low-key I am.”

Han Cheng: …

Han Cheng silently picked up the person in his arms, “Now you are about to be washed white.”

“Then you can fill me up manually in the bathroom to save dirtying the sheets.”

“Aren’t you afraid that I’ll take the opportunity to take you to the underwater world?”

“Then I will sacrifice my life to blow up the ship and kill two people in one ship!”

Han Cheng luaghed and walked towards the bathroom with him in his arms.

—–

Su Luo looked at the schedule in front of her and asked her agent, “What’s going on? Where are my scenes? Why aren’t any of my scenes in the schedule?!”

The agent said helplessly, “Stop shouting, aunt3, can’t you tell? This is director Li’s intention.”

“Why is he doing this?”

“Why? How much trouble have you caused these days? Even if the rest of the crew combined, it’s not as much as you.”

“So what?” Su Luo leaned on the sofa and said, “I’m the female lead. What’s the matter with me acting like one? Just for that he takes me off the schedule? Okay, if he has the ability, just leave me off for three months. I’ll see who cries in the end when I don’t film.”

The agent was speechless. “Su Luo, you’re not a child anymore. Why are you acting out?”

“So I should let them bully me?” Su Luo said full of reluctance, “Go and tell director Li that since he won’t rehearse for me these two days that’s good. I won’t go to rehearse for the next two months. It just so happens thatI have other things to do. I want to see who asks who in the end.”

The agent had a headache and advised for a long time, but he couldn’t get through to her. Finally, he had to give in.

Su Luo looked at the paper that had nothing to do with her, snorted and raised her hand to tear it up. “Fight with me? Fine, I’ll wait to see.”

In the end Han Cheng and Shen Qingshu didn’t keep the promise and did it twice.

This is not Han Cheng’s responsibility, but Shen Qingshu’s. After leaving the bathroom and laying down on the bed, he took Han Cheng’s hand, kissed and tempted.

Han Cheng has always liked his frankness in such things, so he hugged and kissed again and again. They didn’t release their hands until Shen Qingshu fell asleep.

The next morning, the alarm clock rang early. Shen Qingshu turned off the alarm clock and was ready to get up. He felt Han Cheng holding his waist in one hand and holding his hand in the other.

He released their connected hands and was about to take away Han Cheng’s hand around his, when Han Cheng forcefully hugged him back.

“Leaving?” Han Cheng’s voice was a little hoarse as he asked softly in his ear.

Shen Qingshu nodded, “Yes, I have a scene this morning.”

Han Cheng then opened his eyes and kissed the side of his face, “Then break a leg.”

“I will.” Shen Qingshu smiled.

Han Cheng loosened his hand and Shen Qingshu lifted the quilt to get out of bed. He went to the bathroom and began to wash up.

It’s normal that Su Luo didn’t come to the set today. After all, there were scenes featuring her today.

Shen Qingshu guessed that she must be very angry. If she was unhappy, he would be happy.

Therefore, Shen Qingshu was in good spirits all morning and filming progressed smoothly.

Han Cheng stayed in the crew for two days and will go back the next afternoon.

Shen Qingshu went to see him off. Han Cheng was reluctant to part with him and Shen Qingshu actually had some scruples too, so he quickly opened the co-pilot’s door to get in next to Han Cheng. In Han Cheng’s confusion, he kissed him on the face quickly and got out of the car immediately after.

Hancheng: ! ! !

Han Cheng unconsciously opened the door to follow him out of the car. He looked at him in surprise across the car.

Shen Qingshu laughed slightly, “Go back, I’ll wait for you to come to see me next time.”

Han Cheng nodded unconsciously and his heartbeat notably increased.

He opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end only an “en” came out.

He looked as if he had a lot to say, yet nothing came out.

It was a fine day. The soft sunlight sprinkled on Shen Qingshu. It was early winter, but it made him look bright and brilliant.

Han Cheng looked at him quietly for a while, then opened the door and got in.

Shen Qingshu watched him get in the car and was ready to turn around and leave.

As a result, as soon as he turned around, he heard Han Cheng’s voice from behind, “Shen Qingshu, get in.”

As soon as Shen Qingshu looked back, he saw Han Cheng coming out again and standing at the other end of the car.

Two pairs of eyes connected, Han Cheng ducked down and drilled into the car.

What is this?

He approached the car incomprehensibly, opened the door and got inside. As soon as he sat down, Han Cheng pulled the back of his head without saying anything. The next second, Han Cheng kissed him.

Shen Qingshu’s eyes widened in surprise.

Han Cheng raised his other hand and covered his eyes.

Shen Qingshu quickly closed his eyes. His eyelashes sweep against the palm of Han Cheng’s hand, the sensation slightly itchy and unbearable.

Han Cheng couldn’t control himself for a moment. biting those lips and kissed him with more eagerness.

Shen Qingshu could only follow his rhythm, slowly hugged him and kissed him.

At the end of the kiss, Han Cheng put down the hand covering his eyes and released the hand on the back of his head.

Shen Qingshu’s face was a little red, his eyes were moist and looked at him with a watery, pure and transparent gaze.

Being looked at like this, Han Cheng’s heart was a little unstable. He had to turn his head and pretend to be calm: “You can go.”

“Oh.” Shen Qingshu replied.

Although he said so, he didn’t move.

Han Cheng waited for him for a minute, wondering, “Aren’t you leaving yet?”

Shen Qingshu opened his hand at him, “Hug me again.”

Han Cheng: …

Han Cheng thinks his ears are a little hot.

Shen Qingshu opened his arms and waited for him to hug.

He was going to leave at first, but Han Cheng had to beckon him to get in the car and kiss him. This kiss made Shen Qingshu want to be intimate with him again.

So it’s all Han Cheng’s fault.

Han Cheng looked at him staring over with bright eyes. He still couldn’t control himself and leaned over to hug him.

Shen Qingshu rubbed in his ear and swayed in his arms. Looking soft and spoiled in his arms.

When Shen Qingshu had his fill, he loosened his arms and pushed him away. Saying “Then I’m leaving.”

“Okay.” Han Cheng rubbed his head.

Shen Qingshu turned to open the door, got out of the car and waved to him through the open door. Then he closed the door.

Han Cheng watched him turn and walk away step by step. Slowly leaning back on the seat, inexplicably he felt his face a little hot.

Today’s temperature is really too high and the sun is too strong.

Shen Qingshu filmed into the evening and is about to finish work, when he sees Bai Xuege walking past.

He seemed to be looking for someone. Glancing around he asked, “Your driver isn’t here?”

“He is busy and left.” Shen Qingshu replied.

Bai Xuege nodded and asked tentatively, “Well, how long has he been your driver?”

Shen Qingshu thought it over, “Over a month.”

“What do you think of him?”

“Very good.”

Bai Xuege said “Oh”, changed direction and inquired, “Xiao Shen, do you have someone you like?”

Shen Qingshu raised his eyebrows. “Is this what you minors should care about?”

“I’m asking because I’m curious.”

Shen Qingshu”tut tut” a few times, “I can’t tell. You’re quite a gossip.”

Is this how you talk to your idol? Expelled!

Besides, is this not because I’m worried about you.

Shen Qingshu frowned at him, then laughed and replied, “No.”

No?

It seems that Han Cheng is still stuck in single unrequited love. The falling flowers are yearning for love, but the heartless brook ripples on4 . His little fan doesn’t like him at all !

Miserable, Han Cheng is so miserable!

The son of the richest man racked his brains, exhausted his thoughts and ingenuity to plot, but he can’t get a word of love from his little fan!

It’s really sad to hear it and shed tears when seeing it, truly he shed tears for Han Cheng.

“What type do you like?” Bai Xuege continues to inquire.

“I like tall, good-looking and gentle ones.”

“Do you like the rich?” Bai Xuege goes straight to the point.

“Yes, who doesn’t like rich people.”

“What if it’s the kind of person who temporarily conceals his wealth because he has to? Will you blame him?”

“It depends, but as long as nothing big happens, I shouldn’t care too much.”

Fortunately, it seems that Han Cheng can still be saved. There is still promise.

“Are you finished?” Shen Qingshu looked at him.

Bai Xuege nodded, “Finished.”

“Then it’s my turn to ask you.”

“What do you want to ask me?” Bai Xuege was puzzled.

“Do you think I’m your fan?” Shen Qingshu asked curiously.

Bai Xuege: ? ? ?

“Aren’t you?”

“Of course not.” Shen Qingshu looked puzzled, “Why did you think so?”

Bai Xuege was shocked, “You aren’t ! ! !”

“Do I look like one?”

“Of course.” Bai Xuege was stunned. “If you’re not my fan, how do you know so much about me!”

“Like I said, I was very interested in filming for the first time, so I studied a lot of interviews with you, hoping to avoid making mistakes.”

“You’re not my fan. You only wanted to avoid potential mistakes?”

“You’re so popular. I’m a newcomer. I certainly don’t want to offend you.” Shen Qingshu looks serious.

Bai Xuege: …

Bai Xuege thinks his heart is broken!

Liar !

Adults are liars!

These hypocritical adults!

He’s so sad!

He is the top class in the entertainment industry. He racked his brains, exhausted his thoughts and ingenuity to plot. What’s the result?!

The falling flowers are yearning for love, but the heartless brook ripples on. Shen Qingshu is not his little fan at all!

It’s too miserable. He’s too miserable. It’s sad to hear and to see will shed tears. What sympathy tears does he shed for Han Cheng? It’s reasonable for them to cry together!

This terrible and heartless man!

How many people did he provoke alone! How many people’s hearts have been broken!

Shen Qingshu saw that he was stimulated and hurriedly said, “But I really like you now. Of course, it’s the kind of like between friends.”

Bai Xuege: …

“You… Are you okay?” Shen Qingshu asked in concern.

I’m not your fan. Is it such a big blow for you?

Bai Xuege: QAQ

No!

Very bad!

From beginning to end, it was him who was amorous. The clown was himself!

How can he be okay?!

Shen Qingshu looked at his obviously terrible expression and lowered his voice a little: “Although I’m not your fan, we can be friends.”

Bai Xuege: Ying. 5

“Is that ok?” Shen Qingshu asked him.

Bai Xuege: YingYing.

“… We can’t?” Shen Qingshu wondered.

Bai Xuege: YingYingYing.

Is it really so hard? Doesn’t he have many other fans? There’s no difference with or without him.

Why suddenly so sad?

Shen Qingshu scratched his neck and comforted him, “Or how about I become your fan starting now?”

Bai Xuege:… It’s not necessary.

“It’s okay. If you’re not a fan, you can be a friend.” Bai Xuege said sadly.

“Really?” Shen Qingshu looked at his hurt expression and was still disbelieving.

“I try my best.” Bai Xuege insisted, “Then I’ll go back first.”

It’s too embarrassing and sad. Is this the legendary vicious beating of society?

Too poisonous!

What face does he have to stand here!

“Then you can send me a wechat whenever you want.”

“En.”

Bai Xuege walked silently towards the way he came.

Qin Yingyang saw him jump over in high spirits and walked back dejected. She asked with concern, “What’s the matter with you?”

“Nothing. I just got beaten up by society.”

Qin Yingyang: ? ? ?

“Didn’t you go to find Shen Qingshu? Why did you get beaten up by society?”

“You don’t understand. Today’s wind is too noisy, Gu wang6 is tired. Return back to the palace.”

Qin Yingyang:… Well, the painting style has changed. He’s really been beaten.

So what kind of beating did you get? Say it and let me hear it so I can also enlighten you!

Therefore, under the cold crescent moon, some people are heartbroken and embarrassed, while others are excited and uneasy. Human joys and sorrows are different. Bai Xuege only thinks they are noisy.

That evening, Han Cheng just took a bath and was ready to go to bed, but noticed a wechat prompt. Bai Xuege sent a friend application.

He accepted curiously and saw that Bai Xuege sent an image of two people crying with their heads clasped.

Han Cheng: ? ? ?

Han Cheng: [What do you mean?]

Bai Xuege: [How can a self indulgent me save a wishful thinking you? It’s not a sin for men to cry. Let’s cry together, ying ying ying!]

Han Cheng: [Speak human words.]

Bai Xuege: [You need all the luck, I’ve already been stabbed. I wish you happiness.]

Han Cheng: [? ? ? ? Who stabbed you?]

Bai Xuege: [The one you love!]

Han Cheng: [Shen Qingshu]

Han Cheng: [How did he stab you?]

Bai Xuege: [Don’t worry about this, but I asked him today. He said he didn’t like anyone yet, so [Hug your head and cry. JPG]]7

Bai Xuege: [Let’s cry together!]

Han Cheng understood. After long contemplation, Bai Xuege thought Shen Qingshu said he didn’t like anyone now, which also meant he didn’t like him. He was helping the wishful thinking wang to win the goddess. However the goddess didn’t reciprocate, so he had to cry with him late at night. 8

But he always knew that he and Shen Qingshu were just car friends. If car friends want anything, it’s only optimal performance.

Although, he did feel that the little sports car Shen Qingshu’s was in line with his heart.

However, Han Cheng didn’t want to expose his lies, so he also sent a [Hug your head and cry. JPG].

Seeing this, Bai Xuege immediately found an ally and began to chatter.

In the dark night, the sons of two industry leaders are discussing a new actor named Shen Qingshu.

Bai Xuege: [I pretend to be a model student every day for him and he doesn’t care!]

Han Cheng: [I treat money like dirt for him every day. He didn’t care at all!]

Bai Xuege: [I’m helping find justice even in my dreams. He doesn’t care at all!]

Han Cheng: In my dreams, I was worried that he would change into a red car. He didn’t care at all!]

Bai Xuege: [I’m so depressed.]

Han Cheng: [I’ve been depressed several times, too.]

They sent a[Hug your head and cry. JPG] again. Feeling that they were really miserable.

However, Shen Qingshu at the centre of the topic didn’t know anything at this time. He was comfortably taking a hot bath and preparing to go to bed.

Tomorrow is also a day full of hope!

1 船到桥头自然直 = Lit. when the boat gets to the pier-head. Meaning everything will be alright 

2 十年树木，百年树人 = ”Ten years for trees, a hundred years to nurture people” is a metaphor meaning it takes a long time to grow a small sapling into a tall tree. However, cultivating a talent requires more time, which is a long-term plan and is not easy .

Mr. Lu Xun’s original name was Zhou Shuren, which is also derived from this meaning, bearing the high expectations and sustenance of the elders for the younger generation.

3 Telling her to stop acting arrogant, similar to calling someone little ancestor

4  落花有意，流水无情 = the falling flowers are yearning for love, but the heartless brook ripples on (idiom). One side is willing, yet the other one remains indifferent (usually of unrequited love)

5 Haha Ying = crying

6 Not too sure what this means, from research Gu Wang is the self-proclaimed name of an ancient Chinese emperor, first proposed by Qin Shihuang. On the other hand 孤 is a third person way to call oneself widowed for example by an empress dowager.  

Edit: I am uncultured and have asked my mum xD. The explanation is at 8

8 King Xiang of Chu liked the goddess and pursued it desperately, but the goddess did not like him. The metaphor of unrequited love

The story of the goddess and King Xiang of Chu comes from the “Goddess Fu” 《神女赋》. Song Yu spent a lot of ink to praise the beauty of the goddess Fu.
