91. We Reconciled

Qi Le An went to the bathroom to take a cold shower while Wei Chang Feng got changed with a meaningful smile on his face.

He never imagined that his Little An would be this bold, ‘he just kissed me on the forehead’. It seemed that now he had an answer for all those uncertain feelings.

A cold shower in the morning was not good, but Wei Chang Feng was happy.

The two of them took a cold shower, in turn, to calm down. When Qi Le An came out of the bathroom, he saw that Wei Chang Feng was smiling blankly on the sofa.

‘Wait, Wei Sama is just sitting there in a trance? What is going on?’

Qi Le An narrowed his eyes.

Wei Chang Feng took out two hats, handed one to Qi Le An, and said, “Let’s have breakfast first, then I’ll drive you back to your hotel.”

Qi Le An was reluctant to say goodbye to Wei Chang Feng, he enjoyed every second they spent together. But he had promised the director that he would be back to work this day. Then it occurred to Qi Le An that he still had an apology to make.

At that thought, Qi Le An felt a little distressed. He checked his phone again, there was no message from Chen Shan.

Qi Le An sighed.

Wei Chang Feng came to the Film City earlier than Qi Le An, Qi Le An would get lost when he went out, but Wei Chang Feng was already familiar with the streets, he could figure out a way to go to the places he wanted to within a few minutes. He took Qi Le An to his favorite breakfast place.

It was 6 a.m., the film and television city was not too lively yet. The two of them didn’t attract too much unwanted attention, they got to enjoy their breakfast in quietness.

Fresh spring rolls and Fried Glutinous Rice Balls, Qi Le An took every bite with relish, soon he felt his stomach warm and comfortable.

Qi Le An thought about Chen Shan when he had his breakfast, ‘Chen Mama would love the food here as well, so he packed Chen Shan some spring rolls and fresh soy milk. Wei Chang Feng drove him back to the hotel and Qi Le An be reluctant to part with his Wei Sama.

Qi Le An didn’t go back to his room, he went straight to Chen Shan’s instead. He had an early scene today and Chen Shan should get up at 6 o’clock. However, Qi Le An knocked on the door for a long time, yet no one answered the door. So Qi Le An called him.

There came the noise of Chen Shan’s ringtone from the room, but no one answered. Qi Le An frowned. ‘Is Chen Mama not in his room, is he out all night?’

‘This is really troublesome. Chen Mama is MAD!’

He made a few more calls to try his luck, he was convinced that Chen Shan really wasn’t in his room and he didn’t bring his phone in the end, so he sighed and returned to his room.

The spring rolls and soy milk were a little cold. Qi Le An put these on the table and got changed.

He realized how much he relied on Chen Shan and how much he had taken Chen Shan’s care. He packed up the stuff he needed for the day and headed to the set on a crew member’s car. Every time they took a break, he would subconsciously look for Chen Shan in the hope to ask him how he thought about the scene. Most importantly, he couldn’t see Chen Shan on the set and he felt a huge void in his heart.

Ever since Chen Shan became his manager, he would try his best to accompany Qi Le An for every scene. Chen Shan didn’t say much on set, a lot of crew members thought he was the unapproachable type. Although the girls on set all thought he was handsome, most of them didn’t take the initiative to talk to him. However, Chen Shan was the most reliable one on set. There was one time when a young stylist from the crew couldn’t find a costume in the suitcase and cried. Chen Shan was the first one who had given her a helping hand.

For Qi Le An, he never had to worry about a thing in Chen Shan’s presence.

‘I really have gone too far yesterday.’

A lot of people on set had come to ask Qi Le An where Chen Shan had gone in the morning. Qi Le An would just respond with a dry smile, the irritation had also affected his shooting. Director Yang showed great understanding and support, he thought that this was because Qi Le An hadn’t recovered yet.

Luckily, Qi Le An only had finished all the work in the morning. After he finished shooting, he went back to the hotel and tried to find Chen Shan.

He hoped Chen Shan was back already. ‘At least he would be back for his phone, thought Qi Le An.

So Qi Le An called Chen Shan when he arrived at Chen Shan’s door to find out whether he is back or not. He heard the ringtone, so he waited at the door like a lost puppy.

He didn’t go to the front desk to ask for a room key, he resorted to the trick of having himself tortured to soften the other one’s heart.

At three o’clock in the afternoon, Chen Shan finally came back, breathing alcohol fumes.

Chen Shan walked directly to his door as if he hadn’t seen Qi Le An. He just walked past Qi Le An and opened the door with his card. Qi Le An squeezed into the room before Chen Shan closed the door, then he looked at Chen Shan and said softly, “Chen Ge.”

Chen Shan was unmoved. He picked up his phone coldly, checking his messages.

Qi Le An added, “Chen Ge, I’m so sorry…”

Chen Shan put his phone on the coffee table indifferently and walked into the bathroom.

Chen Shan, was Qi Le An’s manager, so his room was different, it was less fancy than the male lead Qi Le An’s. Chen Shan’s room was a regular Queen Room, but Qi Le An’s stuff had taken up around half of the space.

Chen Shan entered the bathroom and Qi Le An cheekily followed him.

Chen Shan, “What’s going on? Can you please get out?”

Qi Le An put his hands together devoutly and tears brimmed in his eyes. His voice was filled with regret, “Chen Ge, I’m so sorry!”

Chen Shan sneered, “No need to put on a show with me. Get out!”

Qi Le An didn’t move.

Chen Shan started to unfasten his belt.

Qi Le An grabbed Chen Shan’s belt and shouted, “Chen Ge, I’m wrong. Please forgive me, I won’t let you undo your belt if you don’t, you can’t pee if you don’t undo your belt!”

Qi Le An’s behavior threw the bathroom into turmoil, Chen Shan grabbed his belt and freaked out, “You little bastard, get out of here! I need to pee!”

“No, Chen Ge, if you don’t forgive me, I will never leave this bathroom!”

Chen Shan was in a rush, he took a deep breath and shouted, “All right, all right, I hear you, and I forgive you! Get lost now!”

Qi Le An immediately let go of his hand, he left the bathroom with a swoosh, he had closed the door gently for Chen Shan.

Chen Shan shook his head resignedly, ‘I cannot believe that boy can be so cheeky!’

When Chen Shan came out of the bathroom, Qi Le An out on a fawning smile, “Are you hungry, Chen Ge? Have you eaten lunch yet?”

Chen Shan, “…”

Qi Le An was alert, he quickly said, “Chen Ge, you’ve already said that I’m forgiven.?”

Chen Shan took a deep breath and said, “I’ve had lunch, I’m not hungry, thank you!”

After a while, he reluctantly asked, “What about you, have you eaten?”

Hearing that Chen Shan cared about him, Qi Le An was so wild with joy, “Yes! I’ve had bento with our crew members! I even had a drumstick! I bought you breakfast in the morning, but you weren’t in your room. Wei Sama took me to this awesome shop, I’m sure you would love their food as well. I’ll take you there tomorrow morning!”

Chen Shan kept a straight face and thought to himself, ‘Look at this boy, trying so hard to make it up to me, all right, all right, we can go.’

Fortunately, Chen Shan was not really angry. He was just a little sad, so he indulged himself in the bar for a while. However, his heart was still filled with bitterness after a bottle of alcohol. It turned out that the pleasure that the bar used to bring him had completely vanished. In the past six months, he genuinely enjoyed working with Qi Le An and he was so sad when Qi Le An said he didn’t think it was a good idea for them to continue to work together.

Chen Shan went to the hotel next to the bar to sober up after he got a bit drunk. During this time, he even rejected several girls who showed interest in him, Young Master Chen was not in the mood.

Qi Le An’s strategy worked. When Chen Shan came back and saw him standing at the door of his room, his heart softened immediately.

“You’re not allowed to say things like that again,” Chen Shan said.

Qi Le An quickly nodded and said in earnest, “I promise.”

Chen Shan sneered and made a ferocious face, “You Promise? You don’t have to promise! If you say that again, your contract will be terminated and then you can spend the rest of your life making compensation to me!”

Qi Le An was speechless. He knew Chen Shan was joking, but that fake ferocious face looked so real.

The two finally reconciled. Qi Le An was in such a great mood at dinner, he happened to see Chu Cheng Yuan and he didn’t even turn away from him.

“Cheng Yuan, come to have dinner with us!” Qi Le An took the initiative to greet Chu Cheng Yuan.

Chu Cheng Yuan and Chen Shan showed surprise at the same time, but Chu Cheng Yuan immediately waved to Qi Le An. He walked into Qi Le An with a smile and asked, “Yesterday, we were all worried sick about you. How do you feel now?”

Chu Cheng Yuan had no shooting until just now, he didn’t come to the set in the morning, so it was the first time they met since Qi Le An vomited blood.

Qi Le An stared at the food on the table and complained, “I’m all better now, thanks for asking. But look at my simple meal now, I’m not allowed to eat anything spicy.”

Chen Shan brought him roasted pumpkin, Fried Beef with Celery, and mini purple sweet potatoes, and a bowl of porridge. No wonder Qi Le An complained about it.

Chu Cheng Yuan nodded with a smile and said, “But Chen Ge is doing this for your good, all the food on the table is good for your stomach.”

They were having dinner in the hotel restaurant. All the food was in small portions, everything looked yummy. Most actors would ask their assistants to select a few plates for them, and the restaurant now wasn’t too busy.

Qi Le An invited Chu Cheng Yuan, “Do you have company now? Would you like to join me and Chen Ge?”

Chu Cheng Yuan planned to take the food to his room, but when he was invited by Qi Le An, he suddenly changed his mind smiled, “Thank you so much, I’d love to know you and Chen Ge more.”

Qi Le An then said half-jokingly, “Then don’t get a bunch of spicy food like Chen Ge, I will drool.”

Chu Cheng Yuan couldn’t help but look at Chen Shan’s side of the table and laughed. Chen Shan was having a feast. Chu Cheng Yuan smiled and said, “Don’t worry.”

Then he walked away to get food.

As soon as Chu Cheng Yuan left, Chen Shan asked suspiciously, “I thought you didn’t like him.”

“What do you mean?” Qi Le An poked the pumpkin in front of him and how he wished he could have spicy slices of pork right now.

Chen Shan murmured with food in his mouth, “You didn’t like him before.”

Qi Le An nibbled on the pumpkin and said, “I like him very much now.”

Chen Shan was confused.

As expected, Chu Cheng Yuan came back with a few plates. He picked Chinese Yam, stir-fried potato chips, sauté pork with capsicum.

Qi Le An smiled happily, “That’s great! Finally, someone is accompanying me to eat healthy meals!”

Chu Cheng Yuan sat down and said, “Feel free to ask me to have healthy meals with you anytime.”

Qi Le An rolled his eyes in his heart, but he put on a smile and said, “Then it’s settled! We should have more meals together!”

Chu Cheng Yuan smiled and said, “Great.”

They gazed at each other with fake smiles, both scheming against each other.
