Chapter 19: 219. Arrive Home

Chen Shan felt deeply wronged and swore not to blabber on about it with Qi Le’an anymore.

Qi Le’an wanted to continue teasing Chen Shan, but Chen Shan’s face darkened and he shouted, “Have you read the script?! Don’t you need to work tomorrow?!”

Qi Le’an said innocently, “I’ve read it for long, okay? By the way, will you come tomorrow, Brother Chen?”

Chen Shan had been “neglecting his duties” for a few days, so naturally he couldn’t refuse to go to tomorrow’s shooting. He said, “Of course. I’ll pick you up tomorrow at 8 a.m.”

Qi Le’an nodded. CCTV requested that he needed to be there tomorrow at 9 a.m. Wei Sama’s house was located in a good location, so even if they were stuck in a traffic jam, there would be still time when they set up tomorrow at 8 a.m.

Chen Shan wanted to say something more when his phone rang. He took it out and looked at it. Then he smiled.

He didn’t answer it and said to Qi Le’an, “See you tomorrow, I’ll leave first.”

Qi Le’an was speechless.

Chen Shan waved his hand and left without hesitation.

Qi Le’an, who was alone at home, was bored and therefore called Wei Changfeng.

Wei Changfeng was eating with the photographic team. When he saw that it was a call from Qi Le’an, he immediately put down the chopsticks and said to everyone present, “I have to take this call and I’ll come back immediately.”

The person in charge of the photographic team joked, “What call is that important?”

Wei Changfeng smiled and didn’t say anything. Brother Zhi had fully brimmed a glass with wine and said, “Young people always have many things to deal with. Let’s drink. Don’t worry about him!”

The surname of the person in charge was He, who was now over forty. And he was the pick of photographers. Hearing this, he smiled and clinked his glass against Brother Zhi’s and said, “Okay!”

Seeing that there was nothing else, Wei Changfeng went out and called Qi Le’an back.

When Qi Le’an saw that he didn’t get through to Wei Sama, he knew that Wei Changfeng must have something to do, so he opened a packet of crisps and prepared to look for a cartoon to watch. He didn’t expect Wei Sama to call back when he just sat down.

“Wei Sama!” Qi Le’an excitedly looked at the person on the phone screen and noticed that it was noisy in the background, “Are you busy?”

Wei Changfeng was wearing a pair of earphones and long black hooded sweatshirt. He looked handsome and cool.

When the handsome man saw his little lover, he couldn’t help but smile dotingly, “I’m having dinner with Brother Zhi and Mr. He.”

Hearing this, Qi Le’an said hurriedly, “Then you can go back quickly! Let’s talk again tonight.”

It got to after 7 p.m., and this meal wouldn’t last long.

Wei Changfeng didn’t leave. He still sat in the corner of the hall with the hood on and lowered his head. He looked at the phone screen and said, “It’s okay.”

Qi Le’an sat cross-legged on the sofa and looked at Wei Sama, thinking that he was really handsome.

“I’m almost done with work tomorrow and I’m going to Beijing at night,” Wei Changfeng said to Qi Le’an in a gentle voice, “You don’t have to pick me up. Wait for me at home.”

Qi Le’an felt warm in his heart and said, “Okay.”

“Is there anything you want to eat?” Wei Changfeng asked again, “The dairy products here are good.”

“… Milk tablets?” Qi Le’an thought about it for long and didn’t think of anything he wanted to eat, so he said with an upset look, “Forget it, I won’t eat anything so as not to put on weight and be nagged by Brother Chen again.”

Wei Changfeng watched the packet of crisps in the corner on the phone screen and shook his head with a smile, “Then I’ll bring you cheese, it’s delicious.”

Qi Le’an smiled and his dimples showed.

The two of them chatted for about ten minutes. Then Qi Le’an advised Wei Changfeng to go back and told him not to get drunk before hanging up. After all, Wei Sama behaved terribly after being drunk and it could only be seen by himself! Not by anyone else!

Wei Changfeng replied with a smile and promised. The two of them agreed to continue talking when Wei Changfeng went back tonight.

After the call, Qi Le’an was so happy that he stopped eating the crisps and went to the fridge to get a big peach for dinner.

As for the weight… he still had to control it!

Early the next day, Qi Le’an got up in a good mood and washed up. He made himself another glass of Calbee cereal with yogurt. After he finished it, he weighed himself and found that he didn’t gain weight!

It was a good thing that he didn’t put on weight!

Chen Shan arrived downstairs at 8 a.m. in time and Qi Le’an changed into a white T-shirt to go out. Brother Chen still had bread in his car and asked, “Have you had breakfast? Eat something if you haven’t.”

Qi Le’an nodded his head and said, “Yes, I have.”

Chen Shan looked at Qi Le’an with surprise.

Qi Le’an snorted in his heart!

The shoot of the advertising was in the studio of CCTV. Once Qi Le’an went here, he was surrounded by the staff to change clothes and put on his makeup. And they didn’t finish them until almost half past ten. The old lady came half an hour later than Qi Le’an but they were almost made up at the same time.

The old lady looked at Qi Le’an and said with a smile, “The young people are getting more and more beautiful now!”

Qi Le’an smiled shyly and said, “Mrs. Wen, you’re flattering me.”

The old lady smiled and said, “Let’s go. Let’s see if Xiao Chen and the rest are ready.”

“Xiao Chen” was the director of the advertising.

Qi Le’an nodded and the two of them walked towards the studio.

The discussion of CCTV’s advertising was complicated, but shooting wasn’t that difficult. It just took most of the day to finish the advertising for more than ten seconds. It was only after three o’clock when Qi Le’an came home in the afternoon.

“This is the first step,” Chen Shan sneered, “They might ask you for a retake in three days.”

“Really?” Qi Le’an was surprised, “Isn’t this all over?”

“If they’re not satisfied with the video coming out, they will shoot it again,” Chen Shan shrugged, “Anyway, they’re not lacking money. The contract will last for one month.”

Qi Le’an was speechless.

Qi Le’an, who was anxious in his heart, couldn’t help but hope for the best.

“Do we need to pick up Wei Changfeng tonight?” Chen Shan asked again.

Qi Le’an shook his head and said, “Wei Sama said he would come back by himself.”

Chen Shan said, “Alright, I’m leaving first. Call me if you need anything.”

Qi Le’an nodded.

Since Wei Changfeng was coming back, Qi Le’an naturally had to do something for him. He hummed happily and cooked supper for the two of them. The assistant had bought all the ingredients in advance, so he just needed to cook at home.

It took him a few more hours to make a love supper. When it was almost ready, Wei Changfeng came back too.

Wei Changfeng looked weary and put his luggage by the side of the door, smiling, “What are you cooking? It smells so good.”

Having not seen Wei Changfeng for almost a week, Qi Le’an’s eyes were glistening, “I’m cooking something delicious! Wei Sama, go quickly to wash your hands! Dinner’s almost ready!”

Wei Changfeng nodded and went to wash his hands with a smile. By the time he returned to the living room, Qi Le’an had already laid out the dishes at the table.

The supper was not very sumptuous, including quick-fried shrimps slices with scallions, sweet and sour spare ribs, plain sautéed bitter gourd, and stir-fried shredded eggplants with garlic sauce, but they were all home-cooked dishes that the two of them often ate.

“The fish soup still has to be cooked for a while,” Qi Le’an smiled at Wei Changfeng.

Wei Changfeng was in no hurry to have the meal. He first hugged Qi Le’an into his arms and kissed him, then he said, “How’s the shooting today?”

“It goes very smoothly,” Qi Le’an picked up a shrimp for Wei Changfeng and said, “But Brother Chen said there might be a retake…”

Wei Changfeng nodded, ate the shrimp that Qi Le’an gave him and said, “It’s possible, but you don’t need to worry too much.”

“How about you, Wei Sama?” Qi Le’an asked.

“I have to work in Beijing for a few days,” Wei Changfeng answered, “Brother Zhi is back too. I have to go see some people in the next few days and have to be busy with the project establishment.”

When he was an actor, he didn’t have to worry about these behind-the-scenes work, but once he became a director, he had to worry about everything of the filming, not to mention that Wei Changfeng had rejected all investments, so he had to participate in everything.

Thinking of this, Qi Le’an hesitated for a moment and said, “Brother Chen told me about investing yesterday…”

Wei Changfeng smiled and said, “Le’an, are you worried about it?”

Qi Le’an shook his head and said, “I’m not worried about it, but I’m afraid that you will be too tired, Wei Sama.”

Wei Changfeng sighed and said, “it could solve some of my problems if I invite some investors. But if I really do it, I would work with misgivings and it will also be troublesome if disagreement arises. As for those unconcerned investors, it’s also meaningless to invite them.”

Of course, the unconcerned investors referred to those who were willing to hang the cost and invest in the movie to please Sheng Chang’an. Wei Changfeng wouldn’t have bothered being in their debts.

Qi Le’an nodded knowingly. He had something to tell him, but it was hard to speak it out.

Just as he said to Chen Shan, Qi Le’an wanted to help Wei Changfeng, but he didn’t know what to say.

First, Wei Sama must have the money to make a movie, and it would be meaningless if he said it to him. Second, the two of them had been together for so many years but they really hadn’t talked much about money.

Wei Changfeng was so clever that even if Qi Le’an didn’t say anything, he could still guess what he was thinking.

So he said with a smile, “If I bring my pigs to a fine market, then you should support me from now on, Le’an.”

Hearing this, Qi Le’an smiled and said, “I can raise even ten of you, Wei Sama!”

Wei Changfeng could not help but smile with amusement.

After dinner, the two people who had not seen each other for long nestled on the sofa and watched the variety show. The episode of Ultimate Challenge that Qi Le’an was in would be shown tonight. The tidbits on Weibo had been forwarded countless times.

“I heard that you are the stupidest guest of all previous ones?” Wei Changfeng hugged Qi Le’an and asked.

Qi Le’an shook his head hurriedly and said angrily, “…Slander! That’s absolutely slander! They were bullying me!”

Wei Changfeng couldn’t help but be curious, “Were you that miserable?”

Qi Le’an felt deeply wronged.

The two of them sat in front of the television, waiting for the show to be broadcast.

Ten minutes later, Wei Changfeng’s face was distorted and strange.

Qi Le’an sat up and said to the screen, “This is elaborate satire! Absolutely! Wei Sama, don’t believe that I’m so stupid!”

Wei Changfeng didn’t know what to say.

Twenty minutes later, Wei Changfeng wanted to open his mouth but finally held it back.

Qi Le’an shouted, “It was not that I couldn’t beat them! I just saw that they were seniors so I couldn’t bring myself to beat them!”

Wei Changfeng was rendered silent.

After about another ten minutes, Wei Changfeng finally couldn’t help but say, “I’ll go drink some water.”

Qi Le’an looked numbly at the cup, which was just on the table, and said, “Forget it, Wei Sama, just laugh if you want to.”

Wei Changfeng couldn’t help but laugh, and his face was a little red. He laughed and said, “I really didn’t expect that… you would be so cute, Le’an.”

Qi Le’an really wanted to find something to cover his head!

That night, the ratings of Ultimate Challenge were at record levels. The netizens all fell about laughing and countless people notified Qi Le’an on Weibo to ask if he really watched all the shows.

After all, it was him who said earnestly that he had learned about it from the beginning! In the end, he was also the one who was fooled so hard that he became hopeless and awkward!

He was really adorkable! He couldn’t compete with them on wisdom or beat them!

He was completely different from what he used to be usually!

What kind of imagination could make a normal person try to hide into the rubbish bin?

#Qi Le’an, does Wei Changfeng know you act cute like this?#
