Chapter 9 - An encounter

Fang Qiao was an excellent young actor that was hard to get, which were the words of the director.

Looking at each other, the crew members were apparently as puzzled as Fang Qiao.

But anyway, Fang Qiao had kept his job and could finish the play in the next few days. Unexpectedly, no matter how angry Han Jiayue was when he met Fang Qiao, he didn’t look for Fang Qiao’s troubles again.

Maybe Lu Yanzhou had arranged everything.

He thought he would be abandoned by sugar daddy. However, he didn’t expect this – he got the protection of the sugar daddy. Never read a man’s mind, he thought.

Fang Qiao felt he should give a call to express his gratitude. But after he took out the phone, he realized that he didn’t have Lu Yanzhou’s number, for every time they contacted through the assistant.

Therefore, he sent a text message to Lu Yanzhou’s assistant: Thank Mr. Lu for me! I will not let Mr. Lu down and be a good walker-on.

The assistant was waiting for Lu Yanzhou to sign the documents when he received the message, which made him burst out laughing as soon as he read it. So he quickly showed it to Lu Yanzhou.

Lu Yanzhou didn’t care much about the message and only replied ‘Well’ at first. But later, he felt something wrong and the word ‘walker-on’ sounded so unpleasant.

Then he ordered to give Fang Qiao more scenes.

As a result, Fang Qiao, who was in the filming site as a servant far away, suddenly fell  for the little maid somehow, causing the shoot be prolonged to a week, which should have finished in three days.

One week later, Fang Qiao finally ended his play. While he was happily packing things up in the lounge, a little boy closed to him carefully.

Fang Qiao knew this boy and was on good terms with him, who was a gay and was responsible for the makeup of walkers-on.

The little gay lowered his voice, “Xiao Qiao, I’ve been meaning to apologize to you… I saw you and Mr. Lu last time here…and I’m a gossiper… I didn’t expect things would go this way…”

With a generous character, Fang Qiao never minded it. What was more, he also got benefits from Lu Yanzhou in this event, so he would not blame the little gay. Patting on the little gay’s shoulder smilingly, Fang Qiao comforted him to forget it.

The little gay scratched his head embarrassedly, “Xiao Qiao, are you really in a relationship with Mr. Lu after that day? And…does Mr. Lu still want lovers? How do you think of me?”

“…” Why were competitors everywhere?

Fang Qiao immediately frowned and presented a bitter look, “Hey, just forget it. That man is so ruthless after having sex! Not only did he refuse to pay me, but also threatened me to keep the secret, otherwise I can’t even be a walker-on. Oh, my virginity…”

The little gay was fooled and then began to comfort Fang Qiao sympathetically. Instantly, Fang Qiao felt that he had good acting skills after being walking-on for a long time.

After the little gay left, Fang Qiao’s phone vibrated. It was a notification from the bank that an extra sum of money was transferred to his account, which was given by Lu Yanzhou before for money transfer on holidays. To speak bluntly, it was the fee he kept lovers.

Fang Qiao felt glad looking at the money in the card. He didn’t expect this year’s ‘holiday allowance’ would be so high. But he wondered how much Lu Yanzhou gave Han Jiayue.

It was still early after leaving the set. Fang Qiao intended to visit his secret base, where he seldom went since he started the play.

As soon as he entered the cake shop, he saw a girl with long hair in front of the counter asking Lin Yao’s WeChat for she didn’t bring cash and needed to transfer money through WeChat.

Lin Yao expressionlessly glanced at Fang Qiao who just entered, then said to the girl, “I’m just a part-time worker, not the boss. You can scan the boss’s WeChat payment code.”

“Who’s the boss?”

“He is behind you.”

After the girl left, there were only they two in the shop.

Fang Qiao leaned over the glass cabinet and said disappointedly, “She wanted to accost you through WeChat. Can’t you understand her meaning?”

Lin Yao didn’t want to reply him.

Fang Qiao curled his lips and had to change a topic, “New Year festival is just a few days away. How will we celebrate this year?”

Those two orphans felt particularly lonely in every New Year, and could only keep each other’s company.

“It’s up to you.”

“How about a trip this year? It’s boring to have hot pot at home every year. Mr. Lu gave me a big red envelope just now. My treat!” Fang Qiao was very active to this plan, and his eyes lit up while speaking.

Lin Yao’s face changed slightly, and he put on a foxy smile, “Okay, then let’s go to the hot springs.”

Next, he chose a hot spring hotel which had a price over ten thousand in front of Fang Qiao.

Staring at the price, Fang Qiao felt his heart hurt so much that he couldn’t even breathe. However, he had to pay what he boasted.

After deciding the room type, which was the most expensive in the hotel, Lin Yao began to select the number of rooms. Seeing the number will be added to two, Fang Qiao suddenly shouted, “One is enough!”

Lin Yao looked up at him.

Fang Qiao smiled embarrassedly, “Hey, we are so familiar and it’s not necessary to live in two rooms. We should live together to improve our feelings.”

Lin Yao nodded unnaturally with his face blushing slightly.

The two quickly settled the trip and hung the ‘CLOSED’ sign on the cake shop door. Then they arrived at h city on the night before New Year’s Eve.

As soon as they got off the plane, Fang Qiao’s right eyelid began to twitch. Lin Yao said, “Fortunately, it didn’t twitch before we boarded the plane, or I dared not to take the same flight with you.”

Fang Qiao was quite dissatisfied, “Why do you always think the worst? I have googled it and it says that the right eyelid twitches at this time indicates a upcoming romance.”

Lin Yao sniffed, “Who is your romance? Me?”

Fang Qiao grinned, “That’s impossible. Can I catch your eyes?”

Lin Yao kept silent.

There was a line of big red lanterns hanging at the entrance of the hotel, but barely any customers. Maybe people all went home for the New Year.

When Fang Qiao stepped into the hotel, he saw a man at the front desk checking in, who had tall figure, long legs and was in dark grey shirt. His figure must be very excellent only judging from his back.

Fang Qiao excitedly rubbed his hands together, and then joked with Lin Yao quietly, “Will he be my luck?”

When Lin Yao was about to speak, that man turned his face.

Well, his face was indeed very excellent.

However, why did he look like Lu Yanzhou…
