134. Tutoring
Wei Sama, Let's Stuff Them With Dog Food[1]
The news brought from Chen Shan was true. On the morning of the shareholders' meeting, the censorship was gone.
It seemed that the State Administration of Film of Television had changed its mind. The ban was lifted on several microfilms, and the projects that had been halted were allowed to resume. Guan Kai contacted Wei Chang Feng and Qi Le An early in the morning and explained the situation.
Qi Le An was not surprised when he received Guan Kaiâs call. It was only a few days before the end of March, and Guan Kai decided to resume filming on April 1st.
During the half a month after the filming was stopped, Guan Kai sorted out the clips they had taken earlier and found they missed quite some scenes. At the same time, he had more inspiration. Qi Le An didnât know if this was a good or bad thing. In short, he would be busy.
Teacher Luo was frustrated. Qi Le An had to leave after he came back for a couple of days, and he couldnât make up the missed lessons as he would be out of the city.
Before Qi Le An left, there happened to be an exam for the International Department. He thought about it and decided to take the exam. The teachers made haste to grade his paper first. When school was over, Qi Le An held the exam paper in depression.
Teacher Luo sighed, his eyes behind the spectacles filled with disappointment. âXiao An, the teachers made haste to grade your paper, so that you can it yourself.â
His scores were not satisfactory, much worse than last semester. Qi Le An guessed he was ranked in the middle of the class.
Qi Le An had not paid attention to his education since winter vacation. This was the first time in these months that he had seen his scores, and he felt depressed.
Qi Le An came out of the school in a bad mood. Those art academies had high requirements for academic subjects. If he continued like this, he might not be accepted by the academies.
Qi Le An sighed again at the thought of it.
Wei Chang Feng glanced at Qi Le An while he was driving. âWhatâs wrong? Are you in a bad mood?â
Qi Le An hesitated and said, âMy scores came outâ¦â
Wei Chang Feng knew that Qi Le An had taken the exam, and he knew what had happened. âYour scores are bad?â
Qi Le An nodded and looked worried for the first time. âIâm afraid I wonât be admitted to the university. Wei Sama, do you think I need a tutor after I return to City B?â
âI will teach you,â Wei Chang Feng said.
âWhat?â Qi Le An didnât get it.
The traffic light turned red, and Wei Chang Feng stopped the car. âYou donât need to get any tutors. Iâll teach you.â
Qi Le An was dumbstruck. âCan you do it?â
Wei Chang Feng raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, âWhat? You donât trust me?â
âOf course I trust you!â Qi Le An said without thinking.
âMy idol is a famous curve wrecker, who knows everything. He says he can teach me, and he will definitely be a good tutor.
From now on, we shoot the movie during the day and study at night. After that, we go to the same bedâ¦â
Qi Le An couldnât help giggling at the thought.
After they got home, Wei Chang Feng prepared a sumptuous dinner and desserts as usual. Qi Le An felt desperate as he ate. He didnât know how much weight he had put on during these days. Wei Chang Feng well-fed him⦠Would Director Guan notice this?
At the thought of it, he suddenly put down his chopsticks and scurried to the living room in his slippers.
Wei Chang Feng was bewildered.
He was surprised that Qi Le An left in the middle of the dinner. When he was about to stand up and checked on him, Qi Le An came back with a dejected look.
âWei Sama, Iâve put on weight of two kilos!â Qi Le An looked as if the sky had collapsed, saying, âI havenât been working out recently. Do you think Director Guan will reject me?â
Only then did Wei Chang Feng know that Qi Le An had gone to weigh himself. He pulled a wry face and said, âHe wonât. Eat your dinner.â
Qi Le An looked at the delicious food in front of him and lost his appetite for the first time.
After dinner, Qi Le An went back to the bedroom to pack up. This time, he put a few books in his luggage. Thinking of Teacher Luoâs disappointed face, Qi Le An felt depressed.
After Wei Chang Feng washed the dishes, he entered the room with a fruit plate. He saw Qi Le An sit at the desk brooding. He thought for a moment and asked, âXiao An, do you mind if I look at your exam paper?â
âOf course not.â Qi Le An spread out the paper.
Wei Chang Feng put down the fruit plate and handed a fork to Qi Le An, who started to eat the melon while he looked down at the paper.
The melon was very sweet. Wei Chang Feng knew that Qi Le An liked to eat the fruit, so he often went to the fruit market and bought it for him.
âWei Sama always treats me gently like soft drizzles. He seldom says sweet words, but he arranges quietly everything and gives me the best things.â
Qi Le An stared at Wei Chang Feng, who looked extremely charming when he lowered his head and studied the paper. Qi Le An was wondering why he was amazed by Wei Chang Fengâs handsome face after they had been together for such a long time.
Finally, Wei Chang Feng looked up and asked, âYou donât know these questions at all, do you?â
Qi Le An followed Wei Chang Fengâs slender fingers and saw that he was pointing at the major question at the back of the politics exam. This semester they started to study philosophy, which overwhelmed Qi Le An.
He nodded and frowned. âI never understand philosophy.â
Wei Chang Feng nodded and continued to study the paper.
After about ten minutes, Wei Chang Feng finally finished reading all the exam papers. Qi Le An was a little nervous, waiting for Wei Chang Fengâs inquiry.
However, Wei Chang Feng did not talk about Qi Le Anâs scores. Instead, he asked, âAre the book for this semester still here?â
Qi Le An had put the books in the suitcase just now, and he took them out for Wei Chang Feng, who quickly flipped through the books and put them down. âThe mistakes you made are basically from this semester. You did well in questions related to last semester.â
Wei Chang Feng pointed to a history question and said, âLook, you answered it well, which means you understand this knowledge point well and you still remember it after half a year.â
Qi Le An blushed at the compliment.
Wei Chang Feng closed the books and said, âOf course, you donât understand what youâve learned this semester.â
âBut donât worry. Iâll help you make up for it soon.â Wei Chang Feng looked up and smiled at Qi Le An.
Ever since he came back to school, Qi Le An had been worried about his scores. Teacher Luo was about to help him with the learning, and Chen Shan said that he would get him a tutor. However, none of this convinced Qi Le An, who looked at the confident look on Wei Chang Fengâs face and believed that his scores would be improved.
That night, Wei Chang Feng did nothing but took notes on Qi Le Anâs textbooks. Qi Le An quietly packed their luggage and prepared for the trip.
Wei Chang Feng was indeed a curve wrecker. He had summed up quite some important points in one night. Before he went to bed at night, he bought some reference books on the Internet and had them sent directly to the crew.
âI donât know what the crew would think when they see the books.â Qi Le An sighed.
Wei Chang Feng said calmly, âItâs okay. Gary is the receiver.â
Qi Le An was speechless. The crew would laugh at Gary.
When they left the crew, they felt dejected, but now they felt elated at the thought of seeing the crew again. Qi Le An even bought some local specialties for everyone at the airport. He didnât care that the specialty of Hai City was not special at allâ¦
After more than half a month, they returned to the house. Looking at the familiar furnishings, Qi Le An couldnât help but take a deep breath.
Then he choked at the sandy smell in the air.
âOh, dear!â Qi Le An exclaimed, âThe smog here is too serious!â
Wei Chang Feng carried the luggage upstairs and turned on the humidifier. After that, he went downstairs and said, âIâll ask Gary to send an air purifier over.â
Qi Le An felt that Wei Chang Feng pampered him too much.
When the two of them were discussing whether they should go to the next door and meet Director Guan, they heard someone knocking on the door. Qi Le An went to open the door and saw Guan Kai, who he had not seen for half a month, stood at the door. Guan Kai looked refreshed. âYouâre back? How have you been doing?â
Qi Le An quickly let Guan Kai in. He couldnât help staring at Guan Kaiâs head.
Guan Kai had a crew cut on the spur of the moment, and he looked like a prisoner who had just been released. Qi Le An couldnât help asking, âDirector Guan, why did you change your hairstyle?â
Guan Kai rolled his eyes at Qi Le An and said, âDidnât your man shave his head bald? Whatâs wrong with my hairstyle?â
Qi Le An ignored the word âyour manâ, thinking, âMy man is gorgeous, and he is still charming even he shaves his head bald. How can you compare with him?â
Guan Kai looked at the kitchen and said with satisfaction, âHow is it? After a break of half a month, are you ready?â
Qi Le An recalled that he fought with Wei Chang Feng in the last scene, thinking that they might not be able to quarrel after they had spent a sweet time together for half a month.
However, Qi Le An wisely did not mention this. Instead, he asked, âWhereâs the assistant director? Why didnât he come?â
Guan Kaiâs smile froze, and he stuttered, âHe will come later. What do you want to have for dinner tonight?â
He changed the topic awkwardly. Qi Le Anâs eyes lit up when he saw Guan Kaiâs uneasy expression.
Director Guan liked to tease him usually. Why did he feel that he could get back at him?
The shooting would start officially the next day, and Associate Director arrived in the evening. Qi Le An was shocked to see Associate Directorâs crew cut, which was similar to Guan Kaiâs hairstyle.
What was this? Were they a couple�
There was no decent restaurant near the house. After discussion, Director Guan decided to order takeaway food.
Everyone gathered in the living room. The equipment was in the carton boxes, so the living room was big enough to accommodate so many people. Qi Le An saw the familiar faces and felt happy.
Guan Kai took the lead and proposed a toast. He looked at everyone and said, âThe road to happiness is strewn with setbacks. I wish us the victory!â
Associate Director grinned. He looked at Director Guan and raised his goblet, saying, âVictory.â
The two identical crew cuts stayed together. Qi Le An felt that the bad luck would be gone like the cut hair.
