CH 113

TN: Since I had some time to day and will be busy tomorrow, mondays chapter will be released in advance!

Pretty sure everyone already knows but the original saying is: the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. Meaning to pursue a narrow gain while neglecting a greater danger

Shen Qingshu: ? ? ? ? ! ! ! !

No, what are you talking about ? !

Weren’t we on the friendship line, why did you suddenly change to the love line ! !

Acting pro!

Also, Han Cheng is older than you by 8 years. Why did he become an old man ? ? ?

You are going to piss him off!

“You misunderstood me.” Shen Qingshu winked at him desperately, “I only treat you as a friend.”

Change the script back quickly! Return to your real identity, dear!

However, Bai Xuege just thought this was his scripted refusal line, grabbed his shoulder and exclaimed sadly, “Why? Why can’t you choose me? What did you say before? That you treated me as a younger brother. Now that I’m an adult, you say that you only treat me as a friend. Is it so difficult for you to accept me?”

Shen Qingshu: …

What can he say?

Okay, since you want to add drama to yourself so much, it’s not impossible to be fulfilled.

As long as the acting is good, the content doesn’t matter!

“We are not suitable.” He opened his mouth and said in a sad tone, “your friend is right. If I’m like this, I’m only qualified to find an actor as my partner. How can I match you?”

Bai Xuege sneered and looked at Zhao Heng. “Did you just say that? Why don’t I remember it? How about you say it to him again?”

Zhao Heng: …

Can he say that again?

He’s not stupid!

“Did I just say that?” Zhao Heng pretended to be puzzled, “not at all, besides, there are some stars who marry into rich families. As long as they have deep feelings, identity is not a problem.”

“That’s not what you just said.” Shen Qingshu retorted.

“Before I didn’t express myself well. That’s what I meant.” Zhao Heng lied without blinking an eye.

Shen Qingshu glanced at Shen Qingyu. “Why is he like this? Why is your boyfriend completely changing his words?”

Shen Qingyu: …

Don’t you fucking ask this knowingly?

Why do you think he has?

Is it not for this little white face!

Shen Qingyu laughed, “Heng ge, what you mean is that my ge and this xiao Bai did are really not suitable. After all, he is Han Cheng’s ex boyfriend. How embarrassing will they be if they meet in the future?”

“Who do you think you are?” Bai Xuege said coldly, “it doesn’t matter if I’m embarrassed. I think you’re embarrassed to stand here now. Are you embarrassed?”

He laughed sarcastically, “Zhao Heng, do you blindly like this type?”

Zhao Heng didn’t want to offend him, so he had to flatter him, “Xiao Yu didn’t mean that.”

He looked at Shen Qingyu, “I haven’t apologised to xiao Bai didi yet, neither have you. Can’t you say less? Watch what you say!”

“I’m not wrong.” Shen Qingyu refused, “my ge did spend time with Han Cheng. This is the fact. Even now, he probably hasn’t forgotten Han Cheng.”

“Enough is enough!” Shen Qingshu looked sad, “this is my business and has nothing to do with you.”

He silently looked at Bai Xuege, “Xuege, he’s right. I really haven’t forgotten Han Cheng, so I can’t accept you. I’m sorry.”

“I’m willing to wait!” Bai Xuege held his hand, his eyes full of love and tenderness, “I can wait for you, wait for you to forget him, wait for you to accept me. I know, he met you earlier than me, so you can’t forget him, but I’m younger than him, I have more time and patience than him, I’m willing to wait for you!”

“Xuege…”

“QingQing…”

Shen Qingshu held his hand and shared a look with tears in his eyes. He was speechless and choked up.

Shen Qingyu: … What the fck is going on?

Why are they still lingering?

Shouldn’t Bai xuege break up with him at this time ? !

Why not part ways!

Shen Qingyu gritted his teeth and broke the atmosphere of pure love idol dramas in front of him with his words. “Ge, you are really amazing. First Han Cheng, then this one. There are always people who want to date you. I don’t know where you learned such good techniques on how to hook people.”

Shen Qingshu looked innocent. “What does this have to do with me? It’s not my fault they insist on liking me. I can’t help it. You saw how I rejected him, I clearly am unwilling.”

“I know.” Bai Xuege immediately added drama to himself, “I know QingQing is unwilling, but you are kind-hearted and can’t bear to make me sad, so you gave me a chance. I know it all. Thank you QingQing, you are such a nice person.”

Shen Qingyu: …

Shen Qingyu was so angry that he vomited blood!

Is this the current top-level rich second generation?

Are they all so simple and easy to cheat the love brains?

Just like Han Cheng!

Why are they so simple!

Thank him?

Thank him for what?

Thank him for giving you the opportunity to help the poor ? !

You idiot!

Shen Qingyu felt that he was going to have a heart attack again.

Every time!

Every time he meets Shen Qingshu, his heart seems to stop beating every other minute!

He knew that he and Shen Qingshu were incompatible with each other, their five elements are conflicting!

Shen Qingyu took a deep breath, smiling yet not smiling he said, “congratulations.”

Shen Qingshu’s face was confused, “congratulations on what?”

“Congratulations on your new boyfriend?” Shen Qingyu said with jealousy.

Shen Qingshu sighed, “what’s with the congratulation? As you can see, I don’t want to fall in love now.”

“Are you not afraid of this xiao Bai didi’s feelings getting hurt?”

“I won’t.” Bai Xuege clutched Shen Qingshu’s hand and only had him in his eyes, “as long as QingQing is not sad, I am willing to do anything. QingQing, you don’t feel pressured, I won’t be hurt.”

“Xuege…” Shen Qingshu hesitated.

“It’s okay, I know everything. Don’t worry, I won’t feel hurt.” Bai Xuege seems to love him to the extreme.

Again, again!

It’s this familiar magical possessed love again!

He doesn’t understand why it’s always like this?!

Are these people crazy?

Did Shen Qingshu drug them?!

Why do they all like him so much!

Obviously he always got what he wanted. Why is it that he always faces failure when he encounters Shen Qingshu?

Is he that good?!

Shen Qingyu doesn’t think he should remain here. Should he return to the car? If he goes on like this, he won’t have to eat today. As he’s full of rage!

He pulled Zhao Heng and walked forward, “let’s go, Heng ge.”

“Have I allowed you to leave?” Bai Xuege turned to look at him.

Shen Qingyu: ? ? ?

“Do I need your permission to leave?”

“I didn’t need it, but what did you just say again Zhao Heng? ‘Don’t show up in front of me in the future, otherwise, I’ll make you unable to appear in the entertainment industry’? My QingQing is still going to continue developing in the circle. How can we offend you? So naturally, we have to avoid you. Do you understand what I’m saying?”

Zhao Heng didn’t understand, “what do you mean?”

“We’re going to have dinner, and QingQing doesn’t want to see you and the one beside you. So you should understand?”

Zhao Heng understood.

What else is there to misunderstand? He just sprouted a lot of nonsense, so the little young master of the Bai family is showing off in front of his sweetheart.

Zhao Heng had no intention of offending him, so he nodded, “yes.”

He looked at Shen Qingshu and said, “I offended you just now, xiao Yu and I will leave now.”

With that, he took Shen Qingyu’s hand and walked in the direction of his car.

Shen Qingyu looked at him in shock and couldn’t accept it.

Why did he have to leave?

Why did he leave so miserably with his tail between his legs in front of Shen Qingshu?!

“I’m not going!” He shook off Zhao Heng’s hand. “We’re here for lunch. Why should we leave?”

Shen Qingshu nodded quickly, “Yes, yes, why?”

Shen Qingyu replied furiously, “Shut up.”

“You’re the one who should shut up!” Zhao Heng said angrily.

He is not without resentment.

If it weren’t for Shen Qingyu, he wouldn’t have been disliked by Bai Xuege. It’s not easy to leave now, yet Shen Qingyu dared to make him lose face in public by shaking off his hand. Zhao Heng’s anger rose in his heart.

“If you let go, you can scram. There are so many places to eat, do you have to eat here ? !”

“Yes, yes.” Shen Qingshu immediately agreed.

Shen Qingyu was in an even worse mood seeing his annoying attitude. “What’s the matter with you? Why are you butting into our conversation?”

“You’re crazy. Zhao Heng is angry with you, not QingQing. Why are you angry with him?” Bai Xuege mercilessly retorted back.

Shen Qingshu looked wronged: “yes, yes.”

Shen Qingyu: …

Bai Xuege patted him on the shoulder and comforted him, “it’s all right. Don’t pay attention to him. Don’t worry about him, did you forget how much of a bad guy he is?.”

After he finished, he deliberately laughed at Zhao Heng and said, “what’s the matter with you, Zhao Heng? Isn’t this your boyfriend? Why doesn’t he listen to you at all?”

Shen Qingshu continued his vexing behaviour, “that’s right.”

Zhao Heng: …

Zhao Heng instantly felt shame flush his face. He choked back, “isn’t your boyfriend the same?”

“That’s different.” Bai Xuege said calmly, “I haven’t successfully wooed him yet. Besides, QingQing doesn’t love me now, it’s me who pursues him unilaterally. Oh? Does Shen Qingyu not love you either? Are you pursuing him unilaterally?”

Zhao Heng: …

Zhao Heng turned and left in anger.

After taking two steps, he reluctantly walked in front of Shen Qingyu and said indifferently, “do you want to come or not? If I get on the car for a moment and you haven’t followed, let’s break up.”

With that, he walked forward without looking back.

Shen Qingshu “ah”, shook his head and looked at Shen Qingyu, “why is he like this? He’s not truly in love with you, xiao Yu, you must not go with him.”

Shen Qingyu laughed angrily, glared at him, and chased after him unwillingly.

He caught up to Zhao Heng, but the more he thought about it, the more he felt wronged and lost face.

How can Zhao Heng leave so spinelessly?

How can he say that to himself and threaten himself with breaking up?

Why did Shen Qingshu get to meet those with unrelenting infatuation for him?

Yet he can only meet Zhao Heng?

He has to bow his head and please him.

Obviously, he is no worse than Shen Qingshu. Why can’t he meet such people as Han Cheng and Bai Xuege?

His luck is too bad!

Shen Qingyu was so wronged that the lemon in his heart was releasing sourness. He clenched his fist, and his heart was full of jealousy and hatred.

Bai Xuege saw them leave and put his hand on Shen Qingshu’s shoulder. Acting like good brothers he whispered to him, “how was it? Did I act well ? !”

“You’re not embarrassed to say that.” Shen Qingshu was helpless, “The script I handed you is obviously a friendship script. You have to forcefully become the second male lead. You really can’t wait to act in emotional dramas after reaching adulthood.”

Bai Xuege put his arm around his neck, “you don’t understand. In this case, the destructive power of friendship is not as great as that of love, so I have to love you to fight properly.”

“You, you want to love me?”

Bai Xuege raised his eyebrows. “Why can’t I love you? I’m so handsome. Isn’t it your blessing for me to fall in love with you?”

He stretched out his hand and raised Shen Qingshu’s chin, affectionately, “QingQing, from the first time I saw you, I had fallen in love with you, do you understand?”

Shen Qingshu laughed and lowered his head.

Bai Xuege was about to ask him how he was doing when he heard an elegant male voice behind him, “really? So you like this type?”

Bai Xuege: ! ! !

Shen Qingshu: ? ? ?

The two men turned back at the same time, and saw that Wu Jing was looking at them meaningfully a few steps away.

He didn’t wear those pretentious gold-rimmed glasses today. Shen Qingshu could see that his narrow eyes were slightly stirred up, which seemed to contain a little sadness hidden in his smile.

Bai Xuege didn’t expect to see him here and was startled, but he soon calmed down, hugged Shen Qingshu, and pretended to be calm, “yes, I just like him.”

Shen Qingshu: ! ! !

Wake up, you’re exposed! Your ge met Han Cheng and I yesterday. He knows we are a couple.

Shen Qingshu silently moved his shoulder and tried to shake off his hand. However, Bai Xuege held on tightly and gave him no chance to escape.

Shen Qingshu: …

Shen Qingshu had to continue to stand next to him and be a qualified tool man.

Wu Jing slowly laughed and approached them slowly. His eyes circled back and forth on the two faces, and finally his eyes fell on Shen Qingshu.

“If I remember correctly, aren’t you Han Cheng’s boyfriend?”

“What correlation does me liking him, have to do with him being Han Cheng’s boyfriend?” Bai Xuege plausibly said, “I like him, but he doesn’t like me!”

Shen Qingshu: …

Shen Qingshu lowered his head in shame. Xiao Bai, you are really… Better than blue! 1 

How on earth did you say such shameless lines?!

Wu Jing looked at them like this, didn’t answer Bai Xuege, but continued to ask Shen Qingshu, “does Han Cheng know?”

“He knows.” Bai Xuege hurriedly replied, “he also understands. After all, we all love the same person deeply and we simply want him to be happy.”

Shen Qingshu: ? ? ? ?

Is this simple?

He looked at Bai Xuege calmly and thought to himself, words from the heart, you really opened your mouth and spoke your mind.

“So, now that you are a young adult, you want to be a third party in someone else’s love?” Wu Jing’s voice was low and quiet.

Bai Xuege looked disgusted, “what third party? Don’t sully our pure boy friend relationship, okay? Han Cheng and I just love a man together. We are friends, we respect each other, we like QingQing equally, and we are willing to give QingQing the warmth of double the amount of love. How can this be called a third party?!”

“This is true, selfless love for QingQing, giving up personal distractions and hoping that he can love happily. You are an outsider, what do you know? You are still forcing your opinions on us here, who do you think you are?”

Wu Jing: ….

Shen Qingshu: …

He lost, he lost completely!

You are a real actor if you can think of such lines and characters and act them naturally, without blushing or racing heart, without any embarrassment!

Sure enough, the back waves of the Yangtze River pushed the front waves, and now he has been beaten to death by Bai Xuege, the back wave, into the beach! 2 

Xiao Bai, you are really a formidable newcomer!
