Chapter 318: What is This Wife-Chasing Crematorium

Chapter 318

"You don't have to run away as soon as you see me. With so many people around, I won't do anything to you," Shen Kai said with a cold face, but his tone was very gentle, even a little aggrieved.

"Oh."

"What does 'oh' mean?"

Shen Kai had imagined many possible responses from her - consent, reluctant consent, refusal, firm refusal - but not "oh."

"I mean...if you have anything to say, just say it. I'll try my best to cooperate with work-related matters."

Shen Kai followed up by asking:

"What about non-work related matters?"

The question was a bit distracting for Qin Wei's meal. She frowned and turned to look at Shen Kai:

"We are colleagues. After work, of course we each go back to our own homes."

"I'm not going to give up."

Shen Kai said,

"You know what I'm talking about."

Qin Wei put down her chopsticks and handed the remnants of her lunch box to Li Liang. She really couldn't eat anymore.

Might as well make things clear.

But she was also worried that further contention between them would affect the filming over the many days yet to come.

Because of the previous incident, both her and Su Yang's reputations had taken a hit. Su Yang was fine, but the backlash had started to negatively impact her work. Even this drama had suffered misfortune because of her. Qin Wei really didn't want any more problems affecting the show.

Strictly speaking, Shen Kai was here to save the day. She shouldn't be adversarial towards him.

After carefully weighing her options, stepping back appeared to be the only approach.

"You can say whatever you want."

The scolding on the tip of her tongue transformed into a gracious smile.

"I'm well rested now. If possible, let's film this morning and wrap up early so we can rest sooner."

Shen Kai was a little surprised but didn't object.

...

After finishing up filming for the day, Qiao Sixiao was already on her way to the airport, so she only left a message informing them. Qin Wei changed her clothes and went back to the hotel straight away. But as soon as she closed the car door, it opened again - Shen Qingqing got in, hugging Qin Wei and crying bitterly.

No need to ask, she was clearly heartbroken over romance troubles. After busily preparing a lunch date all morning, Shen Kai had casually brushed her off.

"Wah..."

As Shen Qingqing cried, she said,

"He didn't even properly eat the food, and even dismissed me offhand...wah..."

She really didn't know what Shen Kai had that was worth Shen Qingqing's affection...

"Don't cry, don't cry..."

Qin Wei held Shen Qingqing, comforting her in various ways and gently telling her that it wasn't worthwhile spending time on someone who didn't like you back. By the time they reached the hotel, Shen Qingqing had finally stopped crying.

She also came to a conclusion -

"No? I also think it's funny but joining in would be too embarrassing."

Shen Kai was a little surprised since Shen Qingqing had clearly seemed unhappy earlier.

"Don't you feel it's a bit... for adults... to be going on about Happy Sheep?"

Shen Kai hesitated to continue.

Shen Qingqing: "Childish?"

Shen Kai nodded, it was somewhat childish.

Shen Qingqing shook her head:

"No, I know I really admire you Brother Kai, but I don't fully agree with your perspective... I absolutely adore Qin Wei's type. It's just that going along with her too much makes me seem lacking in personality. But for her sake I've watched 180 episodes of Happy Sheep already, so I understand what tickles her funny bone."

After speaking, Shen Qingqing called out to Qin Wei again:

"Alright you two, that's about enough. Qin Wei, restrain yourself a bit. Come wash your hands then come eat the egg tarts I bought for you. Take advantage of Qiao Sixiao not being around, but don't rat me out!"

"Oh!"

As soon as Qin Wei heard, she immediately reined in her laughter. Then she fiercely clapped Su Yang's shoulder,

"Stop laughing! If you can control yourself for three seconds I'll give you an egg tart!"

Su Yang swiftly suppressed her smile, straining hard not to laugh.

Shen Kai didn't speak up but felt it was unnecessary to get so worked up over a few egg tarts.

If she liked them, he could also buy them for her, or whatever else she fancied.

Should he try accommodating her preferences?

"Qin Wei."

Qin Wei was about to leave when Shen Kai called out to her.

Seeing his utterly serious expression, she was afraid there were issues with the script to discuss. She looked at him waiting for him to speak.

Shen Kai adjusted his mood, then pointed out a few sheep from the flock:

"That one is Happy Sheep, that one is Beauty Sheep, that one is Lazy Sheep..."

Qin Wei: "???"

Shen Kai's behavior was outside her knowledge.

"So what?"

She asked him.

Shen Kai fell back into confusion. He had never acted in sitcoms or skits before, seemingly lacking experience in comedy. But when Su Yang said those things, Qin Wei had laughed...

Shen Kai: "If you like them, I can buy them all for you."

Qin Wei: "......"

Knowing a little about the rumors between those two, Su Yang stealthily asked from behind Qin Wei:

"So uh...is this the legendary chasing one's wife into the crematorium?"

Qin Wei turned around and threw a punch at Su Yang.

While she couldn't hit Shen Kai, she most certainly could hit Su Yang!
