66. You Can Call Me Anytime

Mr. Luo was not very old, but he had started working as a tutor since he was in university. He had at least worked with 800 students if not 1000. But this was the first time Mr. Luo had a student who was in the entertainment industry.

Mr. Luo thought about asking Qi Le An to attend the class activities, but he changed his mind on seeing the fangirls swarming towards Qi Le An before he even walked out of the classroom.

“There’s no way for you to attend the class activities. Stay in my office for now, and go back to the classroom when the next class starts.”

Mr. Luo took Qi Le An to his office and then left, Qi Le An was very grateful.

However, Mr. Luo was able to protect him for this class break, he couldn’t be there for Qi Le An all the time. Qi Le An was surrounded by fangirls again after the second class.

In fact, the mentality of human beings was very strange. The ‘fan girls’ who came to ask for photos and signatures might not be Qi Le An’s fans, but they just wanted to meet a ‘star’.

Lunch break was another disaster. When Qi Le An finally squeezed himself out of the school, his lunch break was almost over.

After he got into Chen Shan’s car, he didn’t want to say a word.

Chen Shan couldn’t help laughing, “You have to do something about this though. Shall we talk to the teacher and push for an early exit for you, say, you leave the classroom five minutes before the class finishes?.”

Qi Le An shook his head. He went to school as a student, so it was not good for the school to make an exception for him. He planned to rush out with his schoolbag the moment the class bell rang, and he would just ash towards Chen Shan’s car before anyone else had even packed their schoolbags.

In the afternoon, he practiced it when the last class was finished, and he was quite happy with the outcome.

Days passed quickly when Qi Le An studied hard at school, soon it was the weekend. Qi Le An could finally stay at home and rest for a day.  And Qi Le An believed that he would one day be treated as an ordinary classmate as time went by.

On Saturday, Qi Le An visited Yin Yan. Although it was Saturday, the studio was still busy. Qi Le An waited for more than ten minutes before Yin Yan finished the meeting.

This was the first time Qi Le An met Yin Yan since the Chinese New Year. The moment he saw Qi Le An, he waved his hand and asked him how school life treated him. Of course, Qi Le An had held back unpleasant information, he just said his classmates were nice and friendly.

Yin Yan was very happy after hearing this, and he told Qi Le An about the new drama. Everything had officially started, the casting was next month. Qi Le An didn’t have to audition, but he still had to meet the director and the producer.

However, there was no need to get nervous. Gale studio and Sunshine Era were on great terms, it was already finalized that Qi Le An would get the part.

The preparation for “The Disguiser” would take two months. If everything went smoothly, Yin Yan would try to push Qi Le An’s scenes back until the summer vacation.

Better Days would be released in March and Qi Le An would have no exposure after that. Yin Yan suggested that Qi Le An could release an EP during summer vacation to maintain his popularity.

Qi Le An blushed when he heard this. “An EP? But I’m tone-deaf…”

He had participated in a singing competition in his last life, but it took him forever to prepare the song and get the tone right.

Yin Yan was stunned when he heard this, “It’s okay, it’s still early. Let’s talk about it later.”

Qi Le An finally let out a sigh of relief.

When he got home, he couldn’t help but call Wei Chang Feng.

They didn’t contact each other since he received Wei Chang Feng’s gift. Qi Le An thought it was high time that he should remind Wei Chang Feng of his existence.

Besides, he had been yearning to hear Wei Chang Feng’s voice, to see his face, to talk to him freely.

After a few beeps, Wei Chang Feng finally picked up his phone.

“An?” Wei Chang Feng sounded surprised to get this phone call.

“Wei Sama,” Qi Le An’s mind suddenly went blank as soon as he heard Wei Chang Feng’s voice, he immediately forgot everything that he wanted to say, “How are you feeling today, Wei Sama?”

Wei Chang Feng’s leg had fractured, Qi Le An wished the pain had gone away.

Wei Chang Feng’s laughter came from the phone, “I’m fine.”

Hearing these three words, Qi Le An finally felt relieved.

Before Qi Le An could speak, Wei Chang Feng asked, “How about you, how’s school treating you, An?”

Qi Le An smiled and told Wei Chang Feng about his school life. For example, he told the story of how he was surrounded by some fangirls in his classroom on the first day and how Huang Tian Xiang, his deskmate always protected him like a mama hen. He also said that he could always found gifts on his desk, and he had lost several exercise books within a week.

Qi Le An had so much fun just rambling on and on about the trivial matters at school.

Wei Chang Feng listened quietly over the other side of the phone and he would laugh from time to time.

“This reminds me so much of my high school,” Wei Chang Feng sighed, “but most of my classmates were just super friendly.”

It wasn’t until now did Qi Le An recall that Wei Chang Feng was a child star and he must be no stranger to all the issues he was going through right now.

“They will see you as an ordinary classmate soon, trust me,” Wei Chang Feng said.

Qi Le An turned over in bed because his phone was burning. He replied, “I really hope my classmates will get used to me soon.”

Wei Chang Feng simmered with laughter.

When Wei Xin’an pushed open the door, she saw her brother laughing. She asked curiously, “Who are you talking to, you haven’t laughed like this for a while. Just by the way, dinner is ready.”

Wei Chang Feng said he was about to finish. With that Wei Xin’an left with curiosity.

Qi Le An heard Wei Xin’an’s voice over the phone and realized Chang Feng hadn’t eaten dinner yet. He quickly said, “Wei Sama, you need to hang up now, time to eat!”

Wei Chang Feng asked whether Qi Le An had any dinner before he hung up.

Knowing Wei Chang Feng was going to hang up the phone Qi Le An panicked and suddenly asked, “Wei Sama, I… can I call you again?”

His voice became lower and lower as he spoke, indicating he was nervous and uneasy.

Wei Chang Feng was stunned and said softly, “Yes of course.”

Qi Le An’s tone turned lighthearted immediately and he said, “That’s great! I’m really worried that Wei Sama doesn’t like me anymore! What a relief! Then goodbye, Wei Sama! Take care.”

After that, Qi Le An quickly hung up, leaving Wei Chang Feng at a loss.

‘I’m really worried that Wei Sama doesn’t like me anymore!’

‘Did this little guy feel something?’

Thinking of this, Wei Chang Feng couldn’t help but feel a little distressed.

‘He must have sensed something, he knew I’m avoiding him.’

Wei Chang Feng’s heart ached for Qi Le An.

Wei Chang Feng on the other side of the phone regretted what he had done to Qi Le An because of his problems. While Qi Le An had been beaming with smiles after he hung up the phone.

‘Since Wei Sama himself has said I could call him anytime, I can just call him without feeling weird!

Qi Le An jumped on his bed in rapture!

Time passed quickly. After a month at school, everyone finally got used to this celebrity classmate. ‘He is just a high school student like us, just more gorgeous than us.’

In addition, Qi Le An had a good personality and treated everyone friendly. And he studied really hard. The girl who sat in the front row copied Qi Le An’s homework and she got 100 points! She was so impressed by this new classmate!

Qi Le An had fit in this class slowly.

Soon it was time for Yin Yan to take Qi Le An to meet the director and producer of “The Disguiser”.

Chen Shan had also come back from City B to accompany Qi Le An.

In the past few years, managers had to follow more and more codes of practice, they had formed their industry standards. Chen Shan had just become Qi Le An’s manager without a manager certificate because he was the main stockholder’s son. Chen Shan went to City B to study for the certificate after he hired a driver and a housekeeper for Qi Le An.

Chen Shan’s family and friends found that jaw-dropping. Young Master Chen was studying! For the Certificate of Manager! Wonders never cease!

The exam was at the beginning of April and Chen Shan had been studying for that in City B for a while already, he came back to Hai City to meet the director with Qi Le An!

“I just grabbed some outfits for you at the airport. You need something decent to meet the director and the producer.”

Chen Shan threw a bag on the sofa and he stared at Qi Le An suspiciously, “Have you grown taller?”

When Qi Le An heard this, he ran to the mirror to check, he said excitedly, “I think I AM taller!”

The boy was wild with joy when he found he had grown taller, that was his long-cherished wish.

With a ‘tut’ Chen Shan said, “Then try your clothes. I hope they can still fit you.”

Qi Le An picked up the bag and went to his bedroom.

The clothes were all Spring Collection from an established brand, Qi Le An looked great in them. Chen Shan must have selected them carefully instead of ‘I just grabbed a few clothes for you’.

Qi Le An felt the soft fabric and now he understood why people were willing to pay such a high price for this brand, it was indeed different.

Qi Le An put on the new pants and walked out. Chen Shan glanced at him and said, “You look great, this outfit is very flattering. We can buy more from them.”

Qi Le An couldn’t help but wonder whether Chen Shan’s pay was enough to pay for the bag of clothes that he bought him…

“Wear this outfit tomorrow to meet the director and the producer then,” Chen Shan looked at the time and said, “I’ll pick you up at ten in the morning, all right?”

Yin Yan asked Qi Le An and Chen Shan to meet him in the studio around lunchtime. Chen Shan said he would pick up Qi Le An at 10 so Qi Le An could sleep in.

Qi Le An heaved a sigh of relief when he heard ‘ten in the morning’, he was thrilled that he could sleep in.

Qi Le An’s good mood was completely ruined the next day when he saw the person who had ruined his life.
