193. Parting

Qi Le’an didn’t immediately tell Wei Changfeng what he was thinking. It was only during the Christmas holiday that he talked of his thoughts.

After hearing him out, Wei Changfeng held Qi Le’an into his arms for a long time.

“So… Wei Sama just stays here!” Qi Le’an said in the arms of Wei Changfeng.

After spending more than ten days with the crew, he saw that Wei Changfeng was needed here and Wei Changfeng also needed the chance here.

He knew that this would be an epic movie that would shock the world. He hoped that the name of Fynn Wei would appear among the list of Cast and Crew.

Wei Changfeng saw through Qi Le’an’s expectations and promised, “When the filming here is over, I will return to New York.”

Qi Le’an smiled and said, “Of course! Oh right, Wei Sama! If you direct movies in the future, you must pick me as the male lead!”

Wei Changfeng tilted his head and sized up Qi Le’an, saying, “Then I will need some extra benefits.”

The word “benefits” was specially emphasized by Wei Changfeng. Qi Le’an felt a little soreness i你his waist and said, “Sure. I’m ready to sacrifice myself for the cause of art…”

The two of them hugged together and burst out laughing.

No snowflakes were fluttering at Christmas in New Zealand. However, the bright sunlight and the blooming flowers added some special beauty to the festival. When the crew was off, Wei Changfeng and Qi Le’an flew to Lake Wanaka and returned to the village that was of special significance to them.

The enthusiastic Jenny received the two of them again. The shepherd dog adopted by Wei Changfeng had become a grandmother, which had a herd of puppies at home.

The two of them returned to the wooden cabin where they slept for the first time.

Qi Le’an looked at it and couldn’t help sighing, “Nothing is changed here… It seems… It seems this place has been left out by time.”

Time went by. Flowers bloomed and withered. The scenery around Lake Wanaka never changed. The snow mountain in the distance was still visible and the fishing boat by the lakeside was still floating with the flow of the water.

Qi Le’an thought that they could settle down in a beautiful place like this when he and Wei Sama grew old. It would be pretty happy if they raised two dogs, went fishing, and climbed mountains.

The two of them spent Christmas here. They were not disturbed by their parents or other people. They slept with the stars every day and woke up with the sunrise. They went on a picnic by the lakeside, picked fruits on the farm, and occasionally did something fun in the open air. What a life of joys!

However, the holiday would end one day. On the last day of 2015, Wei Changfeng sent Qi Le’an to the international airport of Wellington.

Qi Le’an originally didn’t want to leave, but the filming of “Lala Land” was completed and now the video was being edited. Damien asked the cast to come back for the voice recording. Hence, Qi Le’an decided to go back in advance for recuperation.

“Take care of yourself when you get home,” Wei Changfeng said affectionately, “Don’t get sick again. Otherwise, I will feel pain as well.”

Qi Le’an nodded and hugged Wei Changfeng, “Wei Sama, don’t worry!”

The broadcasting of the airport came again. Wei Changfeng looked at the time and said, “Okay, go get on the plane.”

Qi Le’an looked at Wei Changfeng, unwilling to part from his love…

The boarding pass was in his hand, but he just didn’t want to go through the security check. The two of them dillydallied for a few minutes before Qi Le’an went through the security check.

Wei Changfeng watched him walk in and didn’t intend to leave the airport until he couldn’t see the back of Qi Le’an.

He didn’t expect to receive a text from Qi Le’an just after he took a few steps away, “Wei Sama, the flight has been delayed. Can I go out now?”

Wei Changfeng was stunned for two seconds before running to the nearest inquiry counter, saying, “I want a ticket of the flight that will take off the earliest.”

Then he replied to Qi Le’an, “Which boarding gate?”

The receptionist didn’t understand what Wei Changfeng meant and asked, “What?”

Wei Changfeng explained again, “A ticket of an international flight, which can get me through the security check.”

Although the receptionist felt that this request was extremely strange, she still gave Wei Changfeng a ticket, “A ticket of the flight to Australia in one hour, is that okay?”

Wei Changfeng nodded and received a reply from Qi Le’an, “H40.”

The ticket came out very quickly. Wei Changfeng passed the security check through the first-class exclusive channel and ran to the boarding gate where Qi Le’an was.

When Qi Le’an, who was bored now, raised his head, he saw Wei Changfeng running towards him.

Qi Le’an stood in a daze and exclaimed in surprise, “Wei Sama!”

Wei Changfeng smiled and looked at Qi Le’an. Qi Le’an was still in shock, “How did you get in here, Wei Sama?”

Wei Changfeng shook the ticket in his hand.

“Oh my God!”

Qi Le’an almost went nuts and there were already some people around him secretly looking over. He took Wei Changfeng to the VIP lounge and said as he walked, “I didn’t expect that Wei Sama would be able to do such a crazy thing one day!”

Wei Changfeng smiled and said, “It’s worth it as long as it is for you.”

Qi Le’an wished he could immediately give a hot kiss to Wei Sama!

The flight to New York was delayed by two hours. Qi Le’an and Wei Changfeng stuck to each other, playing mobile games together. As long as the two of them were together, Qi Le’an would be satisfied.

This time, Wei Changfeng sent him to the boarding gate before leaving.

Twenty hours later, Qi Le’an returned to New York and sent Wei Changfeng a message at once.

“I’ve arrived safely. I miss you.”

Wei Changfeng immediately replied, “Go home quickly. I miss you.”

Qi Le’an couldn’t help laughing foolishly when he saw the same words at the end of the text.

It was more than a month since he left home. Qi Le’an didn’t feel very sleepy. He cleaned the house first and contacted Damien and Emma. After confirming the time of going to the studio, he ordered takeout and took a shower.

When it was finally night, Qi Le’an finally couldn’t help but lie on the bed to get over the jet lag.

Three days later, Qi Le’an arrived at Damien’s studio with the specialties he brought from New Zealand.

The shoot of “Lala Land” ended on Christmas Eve. Emma became well and spirited after resting for one week. Upon meeting Qi Le’an, she stretched out her arms and gave him a big hug, saying, “An! I really envy you for being able to have a vacation in a warm place!”

Qi Le’an smiled and said, “It’s not bad to stay in hot springs in winter!” Emma had stayed in a hot spring manor during the holiday. She had quite a pleasant time.

The two of them chatted for a while. Damien came out and cleared his throat with a long face.

Qi Le’an and Emma sat down.

“Is your throat alright?” Damien looked at Qi Le’an with raised eyebrows.

Qi Le’an said in a loud voice, “Yes, it is fine now!” Why would Damien know he had a sore throat? Could it be that there was no wall without wind in the entertainment circle?

Damien nodded and said, “I hope you can protect your throat well before the recording is completed.”

Qi Le’an raised his hand and promised, “Definitely. That was only an accident!”

Damien snorted and said, “If something goes wrong…”

“Nothing will go wrong!” Qi Le’an interrupted Damien while Emma said laughingly, “Enda! Why are you so fussy?”

Everyone instantly burst out laughing. With blue veins standing on the temples, Damien shouted, “Mind your manners! I’m the director!”

Emma chuckled and didn’t want to respond to Damien.

Dubbing was not an easy task, and even more difficult for a drama movie. The edited version hadn’t come out yet. The first stage of the dubbing was to add the voices to the whole drama movie.

After all, in “Lala Land”, the characters sang all the time.

Emma was originally a singer, so singing was not a difficult thing for her. On the contrary, it was difficult for Qi Le’an to keep up with her pace.

Qi Le’an couldn’t help but post a tweet, accompanied by a photo of the two of them singing together, “Singing with my idol with fright!”

Emma was quite popular online. As soon as Qi Le’an’s tweet was posted, many of Emma’s fans just commented on the tweet, expressing their envy and admiration!

Qi Le’an’s fans also forwarded the tweet. Some fan clubs even found the pictures of Qi Le’an and Emma and posted them, saying proudly, “Look! My idol is so much better than some lickspittle!”

The tweet posted by the fan club instantly became a hit and the word–“lickspittle” was underlined, causing a lot of comments on snickers.

After coming back from America, Li Zheyu was labeled as “lickspittle”.

Someone revealed that he had bid for the oil painting of a famous director of Hollywood at the price of three million, hoping to get the part, but the director didn’t even intend to meet him.

When the news came out, someone immediately said that spending three million in fawning on a director at a charity dinner was so embarrassing.

The word–“lickspittle” became Li Zheyu’s label instantly.

Li Zheyu was furious and had spent a lot of money on reducing the clout, but such a thing couldn’t be solved with money. Even when it was no longer the trendy topic, he was still gossiped in the circle. For a whole month, once Li Zheyu walked out of his home, he just felt that everyone was laughing at him!

He went so mad and cried in the arms of his sugar daddies and brothers. His eyes were even swollen and one of his sugar brothers finally got him a chance of playing a supporting role.

It was a role of a low-cost Hollywood movie, in which there were Asian actors. And he would act as an antagonist.

At this moment, Li Zheyu no longer cared about whether the role was the protagonist or the antagonist.  He just accepted it without thinking and even arranged for his PR team to publicize this matter!

His team posted various tweets about contract sighing, confirming acting, and cooperating with some big potatoes!

They just hyped whatever could be used!

However, how could Chen Shan in China allow Li Zheyu to be so unbridled? Chen Shan didn’t do anything else these several years but formed a folk gossip organization.

Some scoops were revealed by the fans of the Wechat official account anonymously before they were found by the media.

Via this Wechat official account, Chen Shan focused on the word “antagonist” and smeared Li Zheyu.

He didn’t know what role Li Zheyu played. Yet, since Li Zheyu played the role of the antagonist, he mentioned that Li Zheyu was a shame of the motherland and caused an insult to the people. Or, he could accuse Li Zheyu of being an antisocialist, which he believed would surely ruin Li Zheyu.

Speaking of that, it was also a coincidence. Chen Shan let the subordinates spread Li Zheyu’s dirt. Some enthusiastic fans really went to investigate it. Through investigation, they found in astonishment that the investors of the movie in which Li Zheyu starred turned out to have a special background. They were secretly funding organizations that were supporting country divisions.

For the moment, everyone started to strongly boycott the movie and Li Zheyu.

At this time, it was too late for Li Zheyu to get away. After all, for the sake of promotion, he released evidence of signing the contract with the movie.
