170. Explanation

The two of them didn’t sleep as usual last night so they didn’t wake up until noon the next day.

There was no food left at home, so Wei Changfeng could only drive Qi Le’an to a fast-food restaurant near the supermarket to grab a bite. It was good that Qi Le’an was not picky. He was even satisfied with eating chips and burgers amidst watching a cartoon.

There’s nothing left to eat at home, including vegetables, fruits, and snacks that they usually had. Wei Changfeng was pushing the trolley while Qi Le’an was throwing things into the trolley. Chatting merrily, they filled the trolley very quickly.

In response, Qi Le’an complained, “The trolleys in New York are small. A Chinese trolley won’t be filled up so easily!”

Wei Changfeng looked so affectionately and just agreed to whatever Qi Le’an said.

It took them some time to queue up and pay for the bill. When they got home and put away the groceries, it was past four o’clock. It was still hot outside. Qi Le’an asked, “How about meeting them in a dessert shop?”

Wei Changfeng was fine with the idea that the four men had desserts together. While putting the meat slices into the fridge, he said, “Okay.”

Lying on the sofa, Qi Le’an sent a message to Dossey. Dossey complained that he might have a sore throat if he ate too many icy things. In the end, they decided to meet in a coffee shop.

Qi Le’an asked inexplicably, “Is the coffee shop very different from the desserts shop? Not all desserts are icy.”

Wei Changfeng said casually, “Maybe it’s just close to their home.”

As a result, when the two of them drove over according to the GPS, they found the coffee shop was indeed at the downstairs of Dossey’s house.

Dossey went downstairs wearing a pair of sandals. “It’s hot outside. I don’t want to walk for one more step.” He blinked helplessly and whispered, “I told Amco that you would go to the supermarket, but he still demanded meeting you!”

It was the first time that Amco and Wei Changfeng met each other but both of them were in the film and television circle. Wei Changfeng was also Professor John’s favorite student. Amco had heard of Wei Changfeng’s name before.

After shaking hands with Wei Changfeng, Amco said banteringly, “I didn’t expect that our first meeting would take place on a non-official occasion.”

Wei Changfeng also smiled and said, “I have long wanted to meet you for once.” Actually, he wanted to meet the man who tried to take away his lover.

Suddenly, there was a tense atmosphere in the air.

“Hey! Why are you still holding your hands? Amco, what would you like to have?” Eventually, it was Dossey who interrupted them in a loud voice.

Amco sat down and said, “I want the one I had yesterday.”

Dossey nodded, drew two circles on the menu, and gave Wei Changfeng the menu.

Qi Le’an didn’t have to ask what Wei Changfeng wanted to eat. He just placed the order and handed the menu to the waiter. Dossey said to Qi Le’an, “That day… The Latino was really delicious.”

Qi Le’an laughed, “Of course. I love it too.”

Although Wei Changfeng was surprised that they should have eaten Latiao, he still smiled politely.

Dossey added, “Amco wants to meet you so anxiously only to ask you about your decision.”

Qi Le’an specifically came to clarify this matter this time. He looked at Amco apologetically and said, “Sorry, I agreed too hastily that day. Afterward, I found out the genre of your movie… I’m sorry but I’ve acted in this kind of movie before.”

Amco was a little surprised and asked, “It doesn’t matter if you’ve acted in this kind of movie before. Le’an, trust me, you’re the best candidate!”

Qi Le’an had the Asian face he wanted and he was also a homosexual who had left his hometown. He was like a tailor-made candidate for this movie.

Qi Le’an still shook his head, saying, “No… My movie hasn’t been released yet, and I think that for the move of this type, only one is enough.”

“Blue” was a very important milestone in his acting life. It was the most unique one.

Seeing that Qi Le’an had made up his mind, Amco stopped persuading him and smiled, “I want to watch that movie.”

“You’ll see it one day,” Qi Le’an smiled.

He didn’t know Director Guan’s plan. After the shooting work was finished, the film dailies were edited for more than half a year. When the complete work came out, it was not released in Hong Kong’s cinemas or signed up for any contests. Somehow, he felt that Director Guan would make some big move.

Amco nodded and said, “If you need any help with the TV and Movie Practice course, please feel free to come to me.”

Of course, Qi Le’an wouldn’t refuse this kind of offer. He said with a smile, “Okay.”

The few of them chatted casually while drinking the beverages. Although Amco and Wei Changfeng didn’t get along with each other at first, they talked and started to complement each other. Qi Le’an listened to them proudly, feeling that his Wei Sama was so charming!

“An, are you not coming to the theater group as a part-time performer?” Dossey asked again, “It’s a pity that I can’t hear you sing!”

Qi Le’an smiled and shook his head, “I don’t even have time to do my homework. How can I have time to do a part-time job?”

Dossey said sullenly, “But now you are on holiday!”

Wei Changfeng answered, “Le’an has a lot of things to do on holiday…”

Amco also said, looking at Dossey, “Not everyone is sleeping at home like you on holiday!”

Dossey touched his nose in grief and said, “Because rehearsing is tiring!”

Qi Le’an couldn’t help laughing.

After spending a merry afternoon with friends, Wei Changfeng and Qi Le’an went home together. On the way, Qi Le’an sighed, “Dossey doesn’t look like a 30-year-old! He feels like a 19-year-old!”

Generally, foreigners looked older than their actual age but Dossey and Amco didn’t. Wei Changfeng also had to admit, “Indeed.”

“By the way, Wei Sama, when will you start working for Director Spear? Shall we return home this holiday?”

Wei Changfeng shook his head and said, “The project will officially start in September.”

Qi Le’an said excitedly, “So we can go back to China and visit Auntie in New Zealand?”

Wei Changfeng smiled at Qi Le’an and said, “I’m afraid not.”

Qi Le’an said in astonishment, “Why not?”

Wei Changfeng stopped the car and asked, “Do you forget the musical drama? Let’s go to meet the director this weekend. If things go well, you’ll be busy this summer vacation.”

Qi Le’an opened his mouth and asked in surprise, “So fast?”

Wei Changfeng nodded and said, “It will be directed by Director Damien Chazelle and the female lead is Emma. I believe you will like it very much.”

Oh gosh! His idol!

Qi Le’an immediately went crazy and said, “Really? Really? Is the female lead Emma?”

This was his favorite Hollywood female star! He never thought that he would work with her one day!

Wei Changfeng laughed. “Yes, it’s her.”

What a big surprise! This was even happier than being appreciated by Amco!

After they returned home, Qi Le’an still felt like walking in the clouds! Wei Changfeng shook his head and said jealously, “Why do I think… my Le’an is going to be seduced away?”

Qi Le’an hastened to say, “Of course not! By the way, Wei Sama, does the producer have any special preference?” He must get along well with the producer so that he could cooperate with his idol well.

Wei Changfeng was lost for words. He felt as if he would be in disgrace with his lover.

Qi Le’an went to the kitchen to cut the watermelon, took two spoons, and put them on the semi-round watermelon. Then, he held the watermelon as if trying to please Wei Changfeng. “Wei Sama, eat the watermelon!”

Then he picked up the spoon and dug the middle piece for Wei Changfeng.

Wei Changfeng opened his mouth and ate the melon that Qi Le’an fed him. Their eyes were full of happiness.

Qi Le’an felt like quarreling with Wei Changfeng was so hurtful. He felt as if he had grown up but he was still so childish. He couldn’t help sitting next to Wei Changfeng, saying softly, “Wei Sama…”

Wei Changfeng also gave him a spoonful of melon and asked, “Hm?”

“I’m sorry…” Qi Le’an whispered.

Wei Changfeng was stunned. He knew that Qi Le’an was thinking about their argument again. He put down the spoon and touched Qi Le’an’s head, saying with his head tilted, “Let’s just move on.”

Although that was the case, Qi Le’an added, “Wei Sama treats me so well… Even if Wei Sama will fully participate in Director Spear’s movie, I have no reason to stop you.”

Unexpectedly, Wei Changfeng nodded and said seriously, “Yes.”

Qi Le’an’s eyes widened.

Wei Changfeng smiled and said, “You should…follow your husband? Right?”

Qi Le’an was speechless.

Qi Le’an was confused by his apology. He didn’t know whether to laugh or to cry, saying, “Of course! I’ll follow my husband wherever he goes from now on!”

Wei Changfeng touched Qi Le’an’s head with satisfaction.

As usual, the two of them sat on the sofa, eating fruit. When it was dark, they watched stars together. Qi Le’an kept talking about his gossip news while Wei Changfeng listened to him with a smile. When Qi Le’an started yawning, they took a shower in the bathroom and then went to bed.

The next day, Wei Changfeng was going to meet Professor John. Qi Le’an got up early in the morning and made a fried egg for Wei Sama. Then, with a kiss, he saw Wei Changfeng off.

Both of them had been busy these days, and the house was in a mess. Qi Le’an was free anyway, so he decided to clean up the house. When his cleaning work was half done, Hu Bin called.

“Le’an!” Hu Bin yelled, “Are you free now?”

By browsing the posts on Wechat, Qi Le’an learned that Hu Bin was leading a befuddled life as if drunk or in a dream in the US. So, he said with a smile, “Yes. Are you back in New York?”

Hu Bin said energetically, “I’m back! And I brought you a few Alaskan salmons! If you’re not busy today, I’ll send them over!”

Qi Le’an thought about it and didn’t reject Hu Bin’s kindness. “Let me ask when Wei Sama has time. How about having a meal together?”

Hu Bin laughed and said, “Okay, let’s talk on WeChat later!”

After hanging up, Qi Le’an sent Wei Changfeng a message, “Wei Sama! Wei Sama! Hu Bin said that he brought me some Alaskan salmons. When are you coming back today?”

Wei Changfeng quickly replied the text, “I need to have dinner with the professor at noon. What about meeting him this evening?”

Qi Le’an was free now, so he had nothing to do at home. “Okay! I can make a cake before that!” He said.

Wei Changfeng sent a kiss emoji to him and Qi Le’an also replied with the same emoji.

“I’ll go back about two or three o’clock. Wait for me to cook together.”

Recently, they spent more time apart than being together. It had been a long time since the two of them cooked in the same kitchen. Qi Le’an excitedly said, “Okay! I’ll go prepare the apron!”

Wei Changfeng, who was looking at the phone, couldn’t help but laugh. Professor John, who was talking, stayed silent for a moment and cried out in pain, “Fynn! Are you listening to me or not?!”

Wei Changfeng quickly put away his mobile phone and raised his hand to surrender, “Yes, yes, yes. Signing the contract? No problem at all.”
