The Supporting Male Character Just Wants to Be a Tool Man
TN: Sorry for the day late update, my laptop got stuck loading and I took that as a sign to work on my dogs xmas outfits. Enjoy~
Han Cheng:⦠Itâs fine to like men? Because itâs better than you currently not liking anyone!
Alas, you are alone and your didi has to worry about you. Do you think yourself decent?!
Han Cheng thinks his ge is too worrisome.
Although Han Yu refused to accept the paper book samples offered by Han Cheng to Shen Qingshu, he was still curious about Shen Qingshuâs novels.
ââAfter all, the prototype of Cheng Han is Han Cheng, and as long as it is related to Han Cheng, Han Yu is interested! Especially anything related to his didiâs love life!
So he secretly searched for the novel, and naturally found Shen Qingshuâs column and read the available chapters.
Itâs pretty sweet, Han Yu thought to himself. They are really interesting. Not to mention dating and they have to write novels based on their true love.
He rewarded Shen Qingshu with a row of space stations. After the reward, he found himself on Shen Qingshuâs reward list. When Han Yu looked closely, he saw that the top ID and the champion of the reward list, was Car God.
He doesnât have to guess. Itâs definitely Han Cheng.
With his didiâs temperament, can he allow others to be the number one in Shen Qingshuâs reward list?
How is that possible?
[Is this you?] Han Yu created a screenshot and sent it to Han Cheng.
Han Cheng came to his room immediately, âWhat are you doing?â
âReading novels.â Han Yu pointed to the page open on his laptop and said, âExperiencing how you and QingQing fall in love in the novel.â
âThen why you didnât want me to give you the physical book before?â
Making it so you have to search for it secretly!
âI just want to read it by myself, but I donât plan to read it together with our parents!â Han Yu said helplessly.
Han Cheng chuckled,âItâs better to be happy together than alone. Whatâs the point of reading it alone, you should share it with our dear parents, okay?â
Han Yu: âHa, ha, ha, ha, ha, why donât I share your love story with QingQing directly?â
Han Cheng: ⦠Itâs boring for you. Let me give you a try and die, OK?!

Han Cheng glanced at him and said nothing.
âSo Car God is you. Why did you choose this name?â
âHe startedâ¦â Han Cheng was about to say that Shen Qingshuâs pseudonym was the boss of the 4S shop at the beginning, but he swallowed it halfway through.
When Han Yu found out Shen Qingshu was a youth romance writer, he felt too ashamed to face him. If Han Yu learns about âThat Nightâ, his boyfriend may not dare to look at his brother directly for the rest of his life.
So Han Cheng quickly changed his words and said, âAround the time when he first started writing I didnât take it seriously and randomly chose the name. Isnât Car God a cool name?â
âBut how did you know it was me?â Han Cheng changed the topic.
âYou are so jealous, can you let others become number one in anything related to Shen Qingshu? Isnât it just money? The last thing you lack is money.â
Hearing what he said, Han Cheng felt that he knew him well and was worthy of being his ge.
âDoes QingQing know?â Han Yu asked.
âHe didnât know. I didnât tell him.â
âWhy?â asked Han Yu, puzzled.
âOf course because I donât want to know.â Han Cheng stated, âHe is not short of my love and affirmation. I am his lover, and supporting him is a matter of course. He is not close to his parents, has a bad relationship with his younger brother, and has only a few friends, so I have occupied many important positions in his life. I hope I am the most important person that he will spend the most time with and in all his life events. But I also hope he will have more people around him, there because they like him and want to support him in different areas.â
âCar God is just like that. I hope he stays as an ID, a passing reader, attracted by his words and stories, and stays here to support him. Not because I am his boyfriend, so I will support him no matter what he does. Sometimes, the love and affirmation of strangers will be more treasured and touching than the love of lovers, so I hope that Car God remains as just a stranger, a single person who purely likes his works. â

Han Yu was slightly shocked when he heard what he said.
He always knew that his didi was a gentle person, but he found out for the first time that he knows how to deeply love.
Obviously, he has never been in love, but it was as if he was born to know how to love, to love family, to love friends, and to love his lover.
He was still childish, but unexpectedly reliable and reassuring.
Han Yu smiled and nodded lightly, âYou have finally grown up.â
âNonsense, Iâm already an adult.â
âYes, youâre old enough to get married. What are you if not an adult?â
Han Cheng smiled proudly and turned to look at him. âHeaven and earth know this, you know it, I know it, but donât tell QingQing, understand?â
âI know. I wonât expose you.â
Only then did Han Cheng feel relieved, and they moved onto other topics.
Han Yu and Han Cheng stayed at home for another two days, before it was time to go back to work.
Shen Qingshu received the news from Zhou Jianming that âPlundering timeâ was ready, and he was asked to prepare for it. In a few days, he would start participating in promotion events.
Shen Qingshu was surprised, âSo fast?â
âNot really. Originally, Director Zheng wanted to catch up with the Spring Festival, but he realised it was too late and delayed it for a few days. Otherwise, it would have been released directly on New Yearâs Day.â
Shen Qingshu can only nod helplessly, âOkay, I understand.â
After watching the editing progress of Ephemera, he saw that Mei Ruo was always paying close attention, so he was relieved and began to prepare for promotions.
When Han Cheng heard that he was going to meet Meng Zhi again, the vinegar bottle in his heart suddenly overturned, âYou are not allowed to talk to him much.â
âI know, I know.â Shen Qingshu said while packing his clothes.
âNotify me in advance when your coming back, and Iâll pick you up.â
âOkay.â
âWhen will you be back?â Han Cheng asked.
Shen Qingshu thought for a moment, âIt will take about a week. This time, there are many publicity locations and we have to work hard for a week before we can rest.â
Han Cheng looked at him gloomily, âOne week.â
Shen Qingshu saw his reluctance and hugged him, âIâll invite you to see the movie when itâs released, mua~â
He kissed Han Cheng on the face, âI will video chat with you every day.â
Han Cheng pinched his face and hugged him rather grudgingly.
The next morning, after breakfast, Shen Qingshu said goodbye to Han Cheng. Then the two separately went to the airport and the company.
Itâs been half a year. Shen Qingshu saw the actors and directors of âPlundering Timeâ again and felt wistful for a moment.
He had a good relationship with everyone when he was in the crew. Everyone he met, he greeted one by one. After that, he noticed that there was no Bai Jian.
Thatâs right, Bai Jian is unpopular and doesnât have many roles in the film. Therefore, he will not be arranged for publicity events.
Thatâs good too, he thought, to save the embarrassment of the two meeting each other.

Director Zheng was very happy to see him. âXiao Shen is here. How was your movie?â
âEphemeraâ was very popular last year with Bai Xuege joining the shooting, so nearly all the crew knew about it. Though some people were optimistic about it, while others were not.
âIt has been shot and is being edited now.â Shen Qingshu said truthfully without hiding it from him.
âQuite fast.â Director Zheng laughed, âI originally said that I would fond time to go to the studio to check on you and xiao Meiâs crew, but I didnât expect that you were all finished.â
âIt was shot a little faster than planned, otherwise we might have been able to wait for your visit.â
Director Zheng laughed. âIâll go and see the film when it is released. Maybe we can be shortlisted together and fight for awards.â
âDirector Zheng, donât tease me. Iâm not so ambitious.â
âDonât you have xiao Mei? She is the type of person who, itâs fine as long as she doesnât do it, but once she does she is more serious than anyone. She must have some intentions.â
Hearing his words, Shen Qingshu remembered what Mei Ruo said before, âIf you are lucky, maybe you can bring a prize back.â
Is it really possible?
His heart suddenly throbbed fiercely. Although he did not have such great ambition, and the original intention of making the film was not to win awards, if he could really win an award, then it would be the best result for him, for Mei Ruo, and for the novel Ephemera.
Shen Qingshu smiled, but didnât let himself think too deeply.
He was content with what he has, he doesnât want to be greedy and expect too much.
Meng Zhi hadnât seen him for a long time, but when he saw him again at this time, he felt that he was as bright and sunny as ever, and there was no change from last time.
But Shen Qingshu kept a polite distance from him, consequently Meng Zhi could not be too enthusiastic, for fear of making things difficult.
On the other hand Hou Chaorui came to have dinner with him at the end of the event on the first day. He said, âI really couldnât leave at that time, or I would have joined. Qingshu, donât take it wrong. I was really moved that you remembered me, so Iâm afraid you misunderstood me and think I didnât go because I donât value you.â
âItâs alright.â Shen Qingshu chuckled, âI understand, I donât mind.â
Hou Chaorui had already explained this when he refused him before â his schedule was too tight, and he could not push aside his current movie, so he had to refuse.
Shen Qingshu originally contacted him just because he remembered the promise he had made to him, but it was not an important role and it didnât have to be him, so he didnât think there was anything wrong with Hou Chaoruiâs refusal.
Hou Chaorui looked at his bright smile and thought that he was as good tempered as ever.
He also had his own selfishness, so when Shen Qingshu said that it was a supporting role, he didnât care too much â he had played enough supporting roles, and he wanted to play a leading role.
But he was too embarrassed to tell Shen Qingshu that. In addition, he was actually shooting another movie at that time, so he refused with a more appropriate excuse.
âNext time,â Hou Chaorui said, âif there is a chance, I will act in your film.â
âGood.â Shen Qingshu said with a smile.
Hou Chaorui looked at him and thought that with such a character, it was no wonder that young girls like him.
There are too many hypocrites in this circle, and too many people have told him that when he has the opportunity to act in their next work. Only Shen Qingshu really meant it. At least he really invited himself to play, whether it was the main or supporting role.
Such a person is very precious, so Hou Chaorui always felt uneasy after he refused. His luck has never been very good, and it is rare for him to be lucky. When he meets someone who will remember him, he doesnât want the other person to be disappointed in him.
âThen I wish you box office success for that movie.â Hou Chaorui smiled.
âEn, thank you.â Shen Qingshu toasted with him.
