CH 170

Slowly, the film unfolded with a melodious song. a child poked his head up to look into the classroom. The children in the classroom laughed joyously, but when they saw him, it turned into ridicule. The child was sad, and turned to hide behind the door. With his mouth pinched, trying to prevent his tears from falling.

When the alarm clock rang, Su Qing raised one hand to turn off the alarm clock, rubbed his hair and sat up.

This is a very ordinary day, Su Qing’s 87th day as a policeman.

Shen Qingshu watched quietly. He saw that with the development of the plot, the rhythm became faster and faster. People appeared and disappeared, death came close to Su Qing again and again. He almost didn’t sleep as he kept looking for the murderer, until he finally noticed Chen Ai.

Ordinary yet unordinary Chen Ai.

There were knives in their words and insinuations in their eyes as they looked at each other, until one died.

In the vast snow, he finally decided to dominate his own destiny.

Mei Ruo’s directing is very beautiful, especially when combined with the sorrowful music in the later stage. Even though Shen Qingshu is already familiar with the plot of this section and can not be any more familiar with it, he can’t help crying.

He looked at Chen Ai lying on the ground and Su Qing standing alone in the vast snow.

The 120 minute movie was not long. Shen Qingshu finished it in a short time.

He didn’t have any suggestions. He thought it was great. Every shot and every character was great.

However, Mei Ruo was still dissatisfied. She cut and replaced several shots, and then made the final perfection. At the end of May, the film was completely finished.

Zhou Mian and Shen Qingshu discussed, and finally set the release date for July 10, officially making “Ephemera” a participant in the summer competition.

As soon as the news was released, it immediately triggered a heated discussion.

[“Ephemera”’s date is finalised? July 10? Summer?]

[My god, it’s much faster than I thought. Shen Qingshu has been in two movies this year, which is awesome!]

[Since they chose the summer stage, they should still be aiming for a high box office. I wonder what will happen to the final box office of this movie?]

[“Plundering Time” has a good box office. This movie has the same screenwriter “Plundering Time”, and the director is Mei Ruo, who has won many awards. It should also have a good box office.]

[Come on, a movie is full of traffic stars. What quality can it have? If Mei Ruo is probably just lending her name too, don’t expect too much.]

[I’m looking forward to Bai Xuege and Shen Qingshu’s feast for the eyes. I’ve waited too long to see this in the cinema!]

[Me too, and me too. Ah ah ah ah ah ah I’m here “Ephemera”, wait for me!]

[All this movie has going for it are appearances, but maybe Bai Xuege’s fans can help him to bulk up the box office. Their fan purchasing power is still strong, so they won’t crash too hard.]

[How can the fans be enough to support the box office? They’ve been bragging for half a year, but now it’s finally time to see the truth. In all likelihood, it’s going to hit the street.]

[However, Shen Qingshu’s response when playing Luo Yi in the same year is very good, so it doesn’t matter if this one sucks.]

[How can it not matter? Luo Yi is just a supporting role, and he is the main character in this movie! If the response is bad, doesn’t it prove that he can only play a supporting role?]

[I also think this is very important to Shen Qingshu. If this has a good box office and high reputation, he will be basically stable. If he disappoints, it’s really… who knows what will happen in the future.]

[Let’s wait and see, but this movie is really mysterious. There is no trailer released, I don’t even know what it’s about.]

[It’s probably so bad that he’s scared to release anything. Shen Qingshu is the producer, can he really do well as a star as a producer? It’s just cheating fans’ money.]

Shen Qingshu read the Internet chatter but did nothing.

His mood was strangely calm, as if there was a feeling that the dust was about to settle. His heart that had been hanging for half a year slowly fell, and finally it was time to hand in the test.

No matter what kind of result, he has no regrets in his heart, and he loves this work from the bottom of his heart.

“Well, the date has been set, and we can start the publicity in a few days.” Zhou Mian said.

Shen Qing nodded, “En.”

He sent a WeChat message to Bai Xuege, Yao Lu, Cui Hao and others, and added it to the story in the group chat of the crew, so that all departments could make preparations and cooperate with the publicity.

This is the last time they will all work towards the same goal together. When the film is released, they will also separate, and there may be no chance to meet again in the future.

So Shen Qingshu wants to finish this battle well and go all out with everyone in the last leg.

However, he still has one thing to do before the publicity starts.

As soon as Han Cheng got home, he heard Shen Qingshu ask him, “Are you free this Saturday?”

“What do you have planned?” Han Cheng wondered.

“Treat you to a meal.” Shen Qingshu said with a smile.

“Oh?” Han Cheng raised his eyebrows. “Suddenly invited me to eat.”

Shen Qingshu looked at him with a smile, “Are you going?”

“Going. If you invite me to dinner, I will squeeze out time to eat even if I have no time.”

“Don’t go to too much trouble. After all, it’s not a big event meal.”

“Then what is it about?”

Shen Qingshu was a little embarrassed. “You will know at the time.”

Han Cheng looked at him as if he didn’t want to say more, and was quite curious in his heart.

He waited for Saturday full of expectation, and then he saw Shen Qingshu, wake up, wash and brush and enter the kitchen.

“Aren’t you going to invite me to a meal today?”

“Yeah?” Shen Qingshu opens the refrigerator and takes out the noodles.

“Then you are…”

“I’ll cook it for you.” Shen Qingshu said seriously, “It’s also a treat to cook for you.”

When he finished, he felt guilty again and added in a low voice, “I just learned this!”

Now Han Cheng is really interested, “So, what are we eating?”

Shen Qingshu: …

Shen Qingshu kept his head down for a long time, and then said, “Oil noodles.” 1

Han Cheng laughed.

Shen Qingshu looked up at him and said, “What are you laughing at? I’m making oily noodles for the first time, and I haven’t made them for others. You are the first!”

If his parents and ge knew that he could make oily noodles, they would be moved to tears, okay ? !

Han Cheng looked at his complaining expression, and the smile on his face became brighter and brighter, “I’m happy, this is a happy smile. I haven’t eaten oily noodles for a long time, I want to eat them very much, especially the ones you cook, they must taste even better.”

Shen Qingshu is barely satisfied with his answer.

Every time he invites Han Cheng to dinner, they go out to eat, but he has eaten so many meals that Han Cheng has cooked for him. He also wants to make a decent meal for Han Cheng.

But he was really not good at cooking, so he learned this simple dish and wanted to make it for him.

He is not short of money. He can treat the other at any time, but on a day like today, he would like to cook a meal for him.

Shen Qingshu turned around and entered the kitchen.

Han Cheng followed him and asked, “Do you need my help?”

“No, I will do it myself.” Shen Qingshu prepared the water and turned on the fire.

Han Cheng watched him cook noodles, cabbage leaves and bean sprouts step by step, and nodded, somewhat relieved.

He didn’t expect that Shen Qingshu would treat him to dinner this way. Don’t blame him, the main reason is that Shen Qingshu is really not very good at cooking. When breaking an egg, sometimes the shell can be crushed and fall in with the egg.

The Han family has always cultivated men who could cook, so his ge and he have mastered this skill since childhood. His father once told him not to let his favourite person come into contact with danger, including the knife and the chopping board.

When Han Cheng was a child, he didn’t understand why. Later, he became interested in Shen Qingshu.

So he never wanted Shen Qingshu to learn cooking. Shen Qingshu didn’t like it and was not good at it. Besides, they would stay together all the time, so Shen Qingshu didn’t need to do things he didn’t like.

But now, he is actively approaching these things that he does not like and is not good at step by step for him..

His demeanour is relaxed and his movements are brisk. For an activity he doesn’t like, because he likes him, it becomes worth learning.

Han Cheng’s heart warmed, and he walked over and hugged him from behind.

Shen Qingshu was heating oil and hurriedly said, “Hug later, hug later, I’m busy right now.”

Han Cheng laughed and kissed him on the face, releasing his hands.

Shen Qingshu heated the oil, then he carefully scooped a spoonful of hot oil and spilled it on the scallion and chilli noodles.

With the sound of “Zi La”, there is a fragrance overflowing.

Shen Qingshu carefully poured two spoons of soy sauce and vinegar, took the spoon away, and handed the bowl to Han Cheng, “If you want more soy sauce or vinegar, you can add it yourself.”

“Okay.” Han Cheng smiled.

Shen Qingshu then picked up the spoon, poured hot oil on his own bowl of scallion and chilli noodles, took the chopsticks, and carried out his bowl with Han Cheng.

He added soy sauce and stirred the noodles, then looked at Han Cheng expectantly, waiting for his comments.

Han Cheng took a quick taste and nodded, “En, this is the best oily noodles I have ever eaten.”

Shen Qingshu laughed instantly and lowered his head to eat his own.

In fact, it is not the most delicious and is even very common. But it was made for Han Cheng by him, so he also thinks it is delicious.

“If I’m at home in the future and you want to eat this, I can make it for you every day.” He said with a smile to Han Cheng.

Han Cheng felt soft in his heart. He nodded and looked at the person in front of him full of love.

He likes Shen Qingshu too much. The confident and proud Shen Qingshu, the spoiled Shen Qingshu, and the Shen Qingshu who wants to cook for him.

He can always easily make him happy, and feel that love is full of surprises and beauty.

Shen Qingshu finished his meal and went to wash the dishes.

Han Cheng was surprised and said, “Isn’t it my turn? After you cook, it’s my turn to wash the dishes.”

“No, no, no.” Shen Qingshu refused, “Before, I told you that I’m treating you to a meal. How can you treat someone to eat and then make them wash the dishes?”

Han Cheng felt helpless towards him. Finally, he went into the kitchen with him, watched him wash the dishes, and helped him dry them.

“What are we celebrating today?” He asked Shen Qingshu tentatively, “Otherwise, why would you suddenly treat me to a meal?”

Shen Qingshu looked up at him and said, “Today is a good day.”

He said, “A good day when I like you.”

Han Cheng: ? ? ? ?

“What do you mean?”

“It’s nothing big.” Shen Qingshu wiped his hands, “Didn’t a song say that as long as you love the right person, you can celebrate Valentine’s Day every day.”

He pulled Han Cheng closer, “I’m celebrating a mini Valentine’s Day with you today.”

Han Cheng became more confused, “Mini Valentine’s Day?”

Shen Qingshi pulled him into the bedroom with a smile and turned on the projector.

Han Cheng looked at his action and asked him, “Want to watch a movie?”

“En.” Shen Qingshu nodded.

Han Cheng didn’t think much about it either. He got into bed and leaned against the head of the bed.

“Close your eyes.” Shen Qingshu said quietly.

Han Cheng laughed. “Watching a movie is so mysterious.”

Shen Qingshu watched him close his eyes while talking, and then he prepared with confidence.

When everything was set up, he got into bed and sat next to Han Cheng. “Alright.”

When Han Cheng opened his eyes, he saw the dragon logo of the film.

“What movie?” He asked curiously.

“You’ll see.” Shen Qingshu answered.

Han Cheng didn’t take it seriously until the names of director, producer and leading actor appeared in the film one after another. He slowly sat up in surprise and looked at the two big characters slowly appearing on the screen – “Ephemera”.

Han Cheng looked at Shen Qingshu in surprise. “Is this… Ephemera?”

Shen Qingshu looked at him with a smile. He sat up straight and approached him. His voice was soft and sweet. “You are the first one to watch the complete, do you like it?”
