CH 59

This was actually the first time Allen met someone who was Chinese. He had always thought that black hair and black eyes were too boring and gloomy.

That was why he had never been able to understand what was so beautiful about Snow White. However, he was now starting to find that this man truly fit that description. 

He could be described as gorgeous, but he didn’t look feminine at all. It was obviously clear that he was a guy.

Allen stood there, starting to regret his impulsiveness. He should have introduced himself at a more appropriate time.

Gu Qingchi had only heard the knock at the door just now. He didn’t really hear what Allen had said. At this time, he looked behind Allen and at Allen. Both Allen and Slater had empty hands. He hesitated.

“Is this room service?” 

Filming for this movie was taking place in a slum. It was a unique place, both beautiful and dangerous.

The crowded buildings did seem slightly congested. However, the European-style buildings had a certain sort of beauty to them.

As you walked down the streets, you would often be greeted by kind and friendly locals.

However, it was still a slum. Law and order had deteriorated here, and, of course, drugs were rampant. They were hardly even trying to hide it anymore.

There was always a dark side to it.

The lively children on the street may be members of a gang.

When night fell, there would be men and women in beautiful makeup standing outside along the streets.

Even though they were staying in the best hotel around, there would still be people slipping ads under the doors every now and then, offering a special kind of room service. 

Around here, this was what room service referred to.

Before coming here, Slater had specifically told everyone not to get involved with this sort of thing. He wanted them to maintain their distance from the locals unless it was absolutely necessary.

Allen had also received a business card yesterday. When Gu Qingchi mentioned room service, his thoughts immediately went wild.

His face was a little red. He absentmindedly responded. 

“Yt. Ft.”

However, it took a long time, and the food wasn’t very appetizing. Some of the bread was okay, but it had to be the kind without cream. Adding cream or sugar would make the bread too sweet.

Allen subconsciously looked over at Slater. When Allen saw Slater’s face, he started getting worried on Gu Qingchi’s behalf.

Slater’s brows were already furrowed. He stepped forward.

“This is great, really great! You must think you can do whatever you want just because of your looks. Well, I’m not buying—” 

“Excuse me, sir. Could you please let me pass by?”

A hotel attendant walked over with a cart. He took a look at his watch and apologized to Gu Qingchi.

“I apologize, sir. There was an accident in the kitchen, so I ended up being seven minutes late. Here is your dessert. They’re all freshly made. Please enjoy.”

Gu Qingchi stepped aside and let the attendant push the cart inside. Meanwhile, he walked over to the cabinet to grab his wallet. Then, he pulled out a random bill as a tip for the waiter. 

The attendant accepted the tip and handed Gu Qingchi the rose in his breast pocket.

“Sir, this was the most beautiful rose I could find this morning. I hope you have a wonderful day.”

Gu Qing took the rose and thanked the attendant. Then, he placed it on the cabinet next to the door. He already had several roses sitting there. Some of the petals had started to curl up and wither.

The attendant glanced at Allen and Slater. Then, he spoke. 

“Is anything the matter? I can call security for you.”

Allen and Slater awkwardly stood by the door.

Before this, they hadn’t realized that the service at this hotel could be so good. Its low price was truly a match for the quality of its service.

Room service never arrived on time. It was typical for them to arrive thirty minutes late. Plus, the food was always cold, forget about receiving roses. 

The attendants would always turn a blind eye to the people that managed to sneak in. If they didn’t pay it any attention, then it was just one less thing to worry about. Some drifter managed to make his way into the hotel once, yet the staff didn’t seem bothered at all.

Once the two of them finished explaining themselves, the attendant left, still somewhat suspicious. Before he left, he reminded Gu Qingchi that he could call for him at any time should something occur.

Slater coughed.

“Ahem. What I was saying was I think I have the right to interfere with your diet as your director. Don’t eat too many snacks. You have a good appearance, so you should cherish it.” 

As he spoke, he became more and more confident in his words.

Gu Qingchi hummed in response.

Slater suddenly found himself at a loss for words.

On the next day, Gu Qingchi was asked to be on set. Even if he didn’t have any scenes for the time being, he still needed to integrate himself into the crew, according to Slater. 

The venue was at a ballroom.

The crew hadn’t rented out the entire ballroom. It was lively inside, and the band was playing live music. It happened to be passionate dance music.

On the dance floor, people were enthusiastically dancing in pairs.

Although this town had its shortcomings, it still attracted lots of people. It was a paradise for Latin dance. Its popularity was astonishing. In fact, dancers could be seen all along the streets. Every year, there would be countless dancers jumping into the pool. 

At the center of it all was the dance floor. It took up a large area. There were tables lining the outskirts of the dance floor, and they were draped with beautiful tablecloths. Attendants shuttled back and forth waiting upon people.

The ballroom was divided into two parts. One part was limited admission. The service here was excellent, as expected of its high price tag. The other part was cheaper. The price of admission was low, and the food and drinks were pretty good for the price. It was a place where young people often hung out to play.

The boundary between the dance floor and the tables had been blurred. There was an endless stream of people jumping onto the dance floor, and there was also an endless stream of people leaving the dance floor.

Gu Qingchi came with Xiao Ke. Xiao Ke was leading the way. 

The film crew was in one of the dance halls. In order to get there, Xiao Ke and Gu Qingchi had to pass through a crowd of people.

Gu Qingchi had worn a black suit today. He had taken off his jacket, holding it in his hands. His waist was outlined by his belt. His white button-up was tucked into his waist, and the hem of the shirt was pulled out a little bit. His long legs were very eye-catching.

They walked along the edge of the dance floor. It just so happened to be the middle of a dance. Several pairs of dancers were cheerfully stepping along to the rhythm.

The crowd erupted into cheers and applause. 

Gu Qingchi didn’t give it any attention. He simply followed Xiao Ke.

People were often crowding around the dance floor. It wasn’t actually that easy to walk past them.

However, whenever he walked by, the crowd would always part like the Red Sea, making way for him.

Gradually, Gu Qingchi ended up in front, and Xiao Ke followed behind him. 

The rhythm of the music started picking up. The girls’ skirts were flying up, and they were spinning across on the dance floor.

Every bow and twist was powerful and beautiful.

Dancing was incredibly exhausting.

There were nonstop streams of people heading into the fray and people tapping out. 

The most impressive dancer would get the loudest cheers.

Gu Qingchi was halfway through the crowd when he was pulled onto the dance floor. His jacket fell to the ground, and he landed in someone’s arms.

Gu Qingchi turned only to see someone’s chin.

There were people shouting from the sidelines. 

“It’s Corenzo! His dance partner couldn’t keep up anymore and left!”

“He’s grabbed another random person onto the dance floor.”
