CH 38

In April, 《Spring Festival》 finally came out.

The duration of the film was only one and a half minutes long, but it instantly attracted the attention of the entire network, especially in the last ten seconds when everyone thought that the film had ended and entered the black screen, Tang Ziyou’s slightly cold voice slowly appeared, “Who are you?”

Immediately after the black screen disappeared, the moonlight filtered through the room, illuminating Gu Jiuci’s profile. His voice was full of evil charm and temptation. He looked at the young man in front of him, put his hand on his heart, and whispered, “I’m your love, hate, desire, anger, and insanity.”

Tang Ziyou looked at him, as if frightened, as if terrified.

At this point, the film officially ended, and the frozen scene was written: Friendly special invitation to appear—Gu Jiuci. (友情特邀出演, how should I translate this?)

Everyone didn’t expect the crew to hide it so tightly. Fans of Shan Qikun were stunned, fans of Gu Jiuci were stunned, and even fans of Tang Ziyou were stunned.

Immediately afterwards, the whole network was boiling.

“Aren’t Shan Qikun and Gu Jiuci at odds, why would Gu Jiuci make a cameo appearance for him?”

“Friendly special invitation hahahaha, the crew also has a strong desire to survive. Isn’t it usually a friendship invitation or a special invitation? Since he came here, he got a friendly special invitation [covering face].”

“Oh my God, ShanJi is on the same stage, the cooperation I didn’t expect on the film is actually on TV!” (世纪, shì jì or meant “century” but it perhaps refers to cp name Shan Qikun and Gu Jiuci)

“Gu Jiuci’s lines are also very good. That sentence ‘I’m your love, hate, desire, anger, and insanity’, simply, I approve greatly.”

“What great feeling? I didn’t pay attention to this drama before. Can someone who pays attention tell me what role he is?”

“I guess it should be Sheng Feiguang’s heart demon. He did say these words to Tang Ziyou, who played Sheng Feiguang.”

“What kind of luck Tang Ziyou has? It’s so cool to be back and partner up with Shan Qikun and Gu Jiuci, film emperor.”

“The real name to be the envy with is Tang Ziyou.”

“Aaaaah, I’m looking forward to this drama so much now, when will it be on?”

Netizens talked a lot, but fans of Shan Qikun and Gu Jiuci were very dissatisfied after being shocked.

Shan Qikun’s fans were dissatisfied with the big male lead of the drama who was obviously their brother. Why such an important scene was given to Gu Jiuci in the last scene, “Can the crew recognize who your male lead is? Can you remember that this is the big male lead of the drama!?”

Gu Jiuci’s fans were even more dissatisfied. Their brother hadn’t acted on TV yet, his route was exactly on the movie. Why did he make a cameo for Shan Qikun for the first time in a TV series, “Is the agent crazy? This kind of cameo is also accepted!? An undercover agent sent by the Shan Qikun family, right!”

Tang Ziyou’s fans looked at Shan Qikun’s fans who were tearing up the crew on the left and Gu Jiuci’s fans who were busy tearing up the agent on the right. They lamented with deep emotion that their brother was really lucky when he made a comeback. The first play of his comeback not only partnered with Shan Qikun but also had a Gu Jiuci, just these two fans could tear this drama with a full sense of existence.

Soon, 《Spring Festival》 was scheduled to be broadcast in the summer. This was really a good time. It showed how much the TV station was interested in this drama.

At the same time, Tang Ziyou finally saw a good movie script, but the leading role of this play had been decided. He could only play the second male lead, but this leading role… He remembered that he didn’t seem to deal with Gu Jiuci either.

Tang Ziyou asked Gu Jiuci and said, “Aren’t you and Zhao Zhe (赵哲) also friends?]

Gu Jiuci: [? ? ? ! ! ! How is it possible, I hate him so much, okay!]

Gu Jiuci: [Why did you suddenly mention him?]

Tang Ziyou: [I saw a good script, that is, the male lead has been decided, it is Zhao Zhe, so I ask you.]

Seeing this, Gu Jiuci called him directly, “Zhao Zhe is really not good. He is a bit narrow-minded and can’t see the highlights of other people’s scenes. The time I worked with him, it was obviously two male protagonists, everyone has their own highlights. As a result, he always wanted to add the scene to himself and add some highlights, which annoyed me. There was a lot of quarrel with him at the scene.”

“Then did he change it at last?”

“Of course not. I told the director at the time that if he changed it, I would leave. He likes acting so much that one person played two roles. How cool, he could also show his superb acting skills.”

Tang Ziyou laughed and heard Gu Jiuji say, “Baby, are you at home? Open the door for me.”

Tang Ziyou: ? ? ?

When Tang Ziyou walked to the door, he saw Gu Jiuci outside the door. He probably just got off the plane, so there was a suitcase beside him.

Tang Ziyou hung up the phone and opened the door for him, “Have you finished filming?”

“En.” Gu Jiuci brought the suitcase in.

Tang Ziyou stared at his suitcase, “You didn’t go home?”

“I don’t have the key.”

“Then you didn’t go back to the old house?”

“It’s all a bunch of keys, I didn’t bring them.”

Tang Ziyou: ……

Gu Jiuci was shameless, “Take me in, or I’ll be homeless.”

Tang Ziyou smiled, “Can you still be homeless these days? Turn left at the five-star hotel, the presidential suite is still empty, go there, okay.”

“I have no money.”

Tang Ziyou generously took out his wallet and handed out a card, “Swipe my card.”

Gu Jiuci: ……

Gu Jiuci lowered his head, “I was wrong.”

Tang Ziyou laughed instantly, “Are you still pretending?”

“Did you not want to take me in?” He looked at Tang Ziyou, “It’s been almost a year. We’ve been apart for almost a year!”

“What a year, I moved out in September last year. It’s only April now, only more than half a year.”

“That’s too long.”

“Less than a year.” Tang Ziyou said calmly.

Gu Jiuci: ……

Why did he think that more than a year was a small number, with 365 days in a year, every day was like a year, just like 365 years! Sun Wukong should feel relieved waiting for Tang Seng to rescue him!

“I was wrong.” Gu Jiuci once again bowed his head to admit his mistake.

Tang Ziyou looked at him with a pitiful look and felt good in the heart, “Then you can just go home, right.”

Gu Jiuci: ……

Gu Jiuci looked up at him and tried to fight again, “You rethink again.”

“What am I rethinking again? What can you do when you stay? Sweeping and mopping the floor, washing clothes, cooking, cleaning and tidying up, which one you can do?”

“I can do all of them.” Gu Jiuci said quickly, “I can’t cook, but I can learn.”

“Really?”

“Really.” Gu Jiuji nodded heavily.

Tang Ziyou then pretended to be reluctant, “Then just stay and have a look first. If you can’t, you can go back.”

“No problem.”

* * *

That afternoon, Gu Jiuci called a celebrity he knew, “Aren’t you very good at cooking? Come on, teach me.”

“You, cooking?” The other party was curious, “Who do you cook for?”

“You don’t need to care who I do it for, just tell me, what’s simple, what more suitable for me to get started?”

The other party was silent for a long time and asked him, “What will you do?”

“If it’s something I can do, do I still need to ask you?”

The other side: ……

In the end, the other party could only teach him to make an oily noodle with a headache.

The noodles were bought and the oil was from Tang Ziyou’s house. Gu Jiuci only needed to cut the scallions, cook the noodles, cook some bean sprouts and green vegetables, and wait for the oil to heat up and pour it on.

Gu Jiuci thought it was simple, he was busy pitter-patter. Tang Ziyou leaned against the door and looked at him, thinking that he was actually quite cute like this.

The final appearance of the oil-splashed noodles was okay, and it tasted pretty good.

“Not bad, keep up working hard.” Tang Ziyou commented.

After finished eating, he was going to wash the dishes and pots, but Gu Jiuci stopped him and said to him, “I’ll wash it.”

“You have a lot of work to do, not this one. Besides, it’s fairer for one person to cook and the other to wash the dishes.”

Gu Jiuci squeezed into the kitchen and refused to go out. Finally, he washed the dishes with him and looked at him with a smile.

His eyes were sparkling, filled with obvious sincere love. Tang Ziyou was inexplicably soft in his heart when he looked at him like this.

At this moment, he suddenly felt that he still liked Gu Jiuci very much. After all, he was the only person he liked for so many years. Even if he wanted to let go, he tried to really let go. However, when he turned over that chapter and got along with him again, when he looked at him with joy, he would still feel soft for him, hoping that time would stand still.

This might be love. Among thousands of people, there was only one person who could touch you.

Tang Ziyou turned around and walked out of the kitchen.

Gu Jiuci also followed and asked him, “Are you still choosing a script recently? I actually have a play here, a second male lead. Do you want to play it?”

“Don’t want to.”

“Why?” Gu Jiuci was puzzled.

Tang Ziyou looked at him, “I want to be independent in my career, not rely too much on your help.”

“It’s not my help either. I just recommend you. The director has the final say.”

“But we have cooperated in《Spring Festival》 before. If we cooperate again now, your fans will definitely think that I’m tying you to suck blood. Later, when people mention me in the future, they will also say that I rely on your popularity, which is not very good.”

Gu Jiuji frowned, “So I can’t be?”

“In the future, I’ll be on the same coffee as you. We’ll work together at that time, that will be fine.” Tang Ziyou smiled, “It’s just you might have to wait.”

“But Xiao You, don’t you want to rest?” Gu Jiuci suddenly said, “You don’t want to rest like this?”

He always remembered what Tang Ziyou told him before that he was very tired, so he wanted to rest. However, he found that he had no support, so he had no choice but to stand up and continue walking.

“I can wait for you. It doesn’t matter how long I wait. You don’t want to cooperate with me now. It doesn’t matter if you want to cooperate with me after you become popular, but, like this, when can you rest?”

Tang Ziyou blinked, didn’t speak.

“If I hadn’t been so hypocrisy before, you should still be doing what you like, take care of your mood, and wait until you have a good rest before starting a new job again, instead of screening the script, then announcing and doing what you didn’t intend to do.”

“I’m sorry.” He whispered.

Tang Ziyou smiled, “What’s the matter, it’s just like taking a break. I should have had a rest at this time, but I didn’t have a rest then I can adjust it later. When I’m tired again, then I’ll have a good rest at that time.”

“When?” Gu Jiuci asked.

Tang Ziyou looked at him, vaguely thinking of a suitable time, but didn’t say it.

“Wait until then, I will tell you that time, okay.”

Gu Jiuji nodded and then looked at him in surprise, “So, are you willing to let me be your support?”

Tang Ziyou gave a “tsk” and pretended to be disgusted, “Let’s see when the time comes.”

Gu Jiuci hugged him excitedly and took him into his arms, “Thank you, Xiao You. You are really good.”

Tang Ziyou felt his embrace and felt peace in his heart.

He tried to rely on Gu Jiuci once but failed. This time, he believed that Gu Jiuci would do well.

In this world, to have someone you could rely on, in fact, was still quite blessed.

He stretched out his arms and hugged Gu Jiuci, smiling slowly.
