The Supporting Male Character Just Wants to Be a Tool Man
Hope everyone had a fantastic new years day!
â-
Han Cheng sighed and replied to Cen Yueze: [Of course not, itâs really a friend of mine.]
Cen Yueze: [Alright, bring him over next time for me to have a look. If heâs promising, Iâll relax the terms of the contract in consideration of your relationship.]
Then you will definitely have to change the contract a lot, Han Yu thought in his heart.
He chatted with Cen Yueze for a while before starting the new dayâs work.
Although he still doesnât want Shen Qingshu to film. Since Shen Qingshu has made up his mind, itâs better to leave him in the hands of someone he knows rather than someone he doesnât. At least this way, he can be at ease.
It can also be regarded as paying him back for helping with Yan Jiayuâs issue.
Shen Qingshu naturally doesnât know that Han Cheng has helped him take care of everything. Currently, he is still continuing his writing, making Cheng Han and Su Qing feel jealous over each other.
Shen Muâs call came at this time.
Shen Qingshu didnât answer. Shen Mu sent him another wechat: [Xiao Shu, mother is ill and wants to see you. Come back.]
Shen Qingshu looked at her wechat and replied: [Is it serious?]
Shen Mu: [Not serious, I just miss you.]
Shen Qingshuâs reply is indifferent: [Then tell me when itâs serious.]
Shen Mu: â¦
Shen Mu was patient and advised him: [The tree wants peace but the wind doesnât stop rustling itâs branches. The son wants to show filial piety but runs out of time. You will regret it when itâs serious.]1
Shen Qingshu: [Regret not spending more time looking at your haggard face? No, Iâm not such a masochist.]
Shen Mu: ! ! !
Shen Mu scolded him angrily âShen Qingshu, is this what a son should say? Do you have a conscience? How can you talk to me like that!]
Shen Qingshu was too lazy to type and sent a voice message. âDonât be angry. You donât have only one son. Donât you still have your good son Shen Qingyu? He is so conscientious, kind and sensible. He wonât talk to you like this. Youâd better seek him out.â
âI knew you were resentful of Xiao Yu. Xiao Shu, mother told you that Xiao Yu is innocent. He didnât know anything. He has no father or mother now. Where can he go when he leaves our house? Besides, your father and I have raised him for so many years. How can we rest assured if he really leaves?â
âTherefore.â Shen Qingshu said with a smile, âI took the initiative to leave. Iâm letting your family be happy. Isnât that good?â
âYou are clearly angry.â
âYou think too much. I just donât like you. An upstart father, a mother who wants her son to climb high branches, plus a refined green tea. Wow, you three are more than well matched. Itâs an auspicious family. How can a great filial son like me get in the way of you three auspicious treasures?â
Shen Mu: â¦
Shen Mu argued, âI donât want you to climb a high branch. Iâm thinking of your future. What a good child Xu Qi is and he even likes you. Isnât it good for you to be with him?â
âSince you like him so much, why donât you be with him? Or let your good son Shen Qingyu be with him. Why do you have to drag me in?â
âDoesnât mum just want you to find a good partner?â
âDo you want me to find a good partner or do you want a stepping stone to enter the upper class society?â Shen Qingshu was disdainful, âDonât use the guise how much you love me. Everything from beginning to end is for your own benefit. After planning everything as long as you say itâs for my own good, you can turn your selfish desires into affection for me. Do you think I donât know good from bad and that I canât see through your intentions? Itâs funny. Youâre so selfish and hypocritical. No wonder you can raise Shen Qingyu into a self-centered green tea. â
Shen Mu was so angry and wronged hearing his speech, âHow can you say that? After all this Iâm still worried about you. Come back first. Weâll talk about the rest when you come back.â
âOkay, you make Shen Qingyu leave. When he goes, I will naturally return. Kick him out first.â
âI said that Xiao Yu is innocent.â Shen Mu said painfully, âCanât you understand him, me and your father?â
âGood fellow, if I understand you three. Who will understand me?â
Shen Qingshu thinks she has so many requirements, âWell, donât bother me. You love Shen Qingyu. Shen Qingyu loves you. I understand and accept it. I even applaud your great and touching family affection. If anyone destroys your happy family, Iâm the first to object, so you can stay together. I will help by quitting this family, not by joining this family. I support you to stay together forever and never separate! â
Shen Mu: â¦
Shen Mu turned to look at her husband and found that Shen fu had a black face. âHe really thinks heâs a great man. If it wasnât for Xiao Xu, I wouldnât bother to care about him! Whatâs the matter? Three urges and four invites still canât get him to come back. He wonât come back until we hold a grand ceremony to greet him! This white eyed wolf! Shameless! How can there be such an unfilial son in the world!â
âXiao Shu is reallyâ¦â Shen Mu frowned aggrieved, âToo ignorant.â
âFineâ Shen Fu nodded. âLet him be, he wonât get a penny. Later, he will understand that he canât do anything without money. See how he can be so arrogant at that time!â
Shen Qingyu heard this as soon as he entered the house and asked, âWhatâs the matter, dad?â
âWhat else can it be?â Shen Mu sighed. âI just said I was ill and wanted your brother to come back, but your brother saidâ¦â
Shen Mu canât go on. She felt cold inside, no wonder as they didnât raise him from childhood. There is no affection for them as parents at all.
Shen Qingyu asked anxiously, âWhat did gege say? Will he come back to see you?â
âOh, that boy doesnât have such a good heart. He said donât call unless someones dying!â
Shen Qingyu:⦠Sounds like his ruthless brother.
âHow can my gege say that? Thatâs too much. Why canât he understand ho much mum and dad are worried about him? Mum, dad donât feel sad. Iâll persuade him when I see him next.â
âXiao Yu, have you seen him these days?â Shen Mu asked.
Shen Qingyu subconsciously shook his head, âNo, whatâs the matter?â
âI just donât understand his confidence. Your father has frozen his cards. He doesnât have any money. How can he stay outside for so long?â
Shen Qingyu: ⦠Because he is attached to the second son of the richest man. Has the twisted love of the second son of the richest man, so he is not short of money at all!
Shen Qingyu was angry and jealous when he remembered this. How could this happen?
Why him?!
What qualifications can a woman who sells vegetables give when raising that waste!
Han Cheng, are you blind? Open your eyes to see the world! Out of so many men, is there no one better than Shen Qingshu!
However, he only dares to feel jealous and dare not tell Shenâs Fu and Mu.
With only a Xu Qi, his parents want Shen Qingshu to come back immediately. If they know Shen Qingshuâs relationship with Han Cheng, especially Han Chengâs morbid love, his parents might directly buy Shen Qingshu some dowry and spread Shen Qingshuâs beautiful love with Han Cheng all over the city. They canât wait to rush to Han Cheng to urge him to marry Shen Qingshu on the spot â line up at the Civil Affairs Bureau to directly sign the papers.
Shen Qingyu thought he knew his parents all too well. At that time, as long as Han Cheng said a word, his father would drive him out of the house without hesitation. His mother might not want to, but what can she do?
In this family, his father has the final say in everything.
So he must not let his parents know about Shen Qingshuâs relationship with Han Cheng. Absolutely not!
âWho knows?â Shen Qingyu said with a smile, âMaybe gege is bluffing and is only showing an indifferent front. Itâs okay, mum and dad. Youâre biologically related. Gege is only being impulsive and he wonât stay angry for longer than a few days.â
Shen Mu felt touched when she heard his comfort. It must be hard to think of him saying this as an adopted son. She waved him to sit next to her, hugged him and said, âIf only your brother were as sensible as you.â
âHe will be.â Shen Qingyu said softly.
ââ-
Han Cheng got home in the evening and caught Shen Qingshu as a labourer to help him wash vegetables.
âGo out with me tomorrow morning.â He said.
Shen Qingshu looked up at him suspiciously, âYan Jiayu is looking for you again.â
âIt has nothing to do with him.â
âThen why are you taking me out?â
âCan I only take you out because of him?â
âOtherwise?â Shen Qingshu was puzzled. âWhat other reason is there?â
Han Cheng turned to face him. The knife in his hand glinted as the blade was so sharp.
Shen Qingshu unconsciously took a step back. âI didnât say I wouldnât go, thereâs no need to resort to force so quickly.â
Han Cheng laughed and put the knife down.
âDidnât you say you wanted to make a film? I contacted an entertainment company for you.â
Shen Qingshu was stunned, blinked, blinked again, and asked uncertainly âI thought you didnât want me to film?â
âI donât like it, but your life is not my life. You have things you want to do. Iâm not you. Naturally, Iâm not qualified to stop you.â
âSo you helped me contact a company?â
âOtherwise? Should I let you leave for the draft? In three months, Iâm afraid the car will remain the same, yet the driver is not the previous driver anymore.â
Shen Qingshu laughed breezily.
Han Cheng leaned against the countertop with his arms crossed. âBesides, in places like the entertainment circle, dragons and snakes are mixed. You donât have any backing. If you really go in like this, who knows what scoundrels you will encounter. Itâs better for me to find someone I know. At least I can ensure that you wonât have any troubles.â
Shen Qingshuâs heart softened when he heard him say this. He felt surrounded in warmth.
After a quarrel with Shen Mu in the morning. He listened to the other partyâs banner of âFor youâ and the underlying selfishness.
He was not angry because he had no feelings for this bodyâs cheap parents.
But just because of their existence, it highlights how good Han Cheng is to him.
He clearly did not agree with his choice. However, understanding Shen Qingshuâs decision, he went to help him contact the company, hoping that his road ahead will be smoother.
Shen Qingshu thinks that this is really the so-called âFor youâ. He may not necessarily agree with the road you choose, but he is willing to give you the most sincere protection at the beginning of this road.
He laughed slowly, puffed up one cheek then puffed up the other.
Before Han Cheng reacted, he rushed directly and jumped on him.
Han Cheng quickly reached out to hold him and heard Shen Qingshuâs clear laughter.
âThis is very kind of you.â Shen Qingshu put his arm around his neck and kissed him on the face, âThank you.â
Han Cheng sighed, âIsnât it? I think Iâm too kind to you.â
âYouâre the best driver Iâve ever seen.â Shen Qingshu flattered.
Han Cheng raised his eyebrow. âAre you implying you have seen other drivers besides me?â
Shen Qingshu shook against his neck and said in a soft voice, âEven if I havenât seen others, I know you must be the best.â
âSo be nicer to me.â
âDonât worry, I will always honestly stay as your private car. No matter how big the outside world is, even if I am away for many months. I will always return to your garage.â
âOf course that should be the case.â
Shen Qingshu hugged him with a laugh and his eyes were full of smiles.
Although Han Cheng guessed that he would be happy, when he saw the extent of his happiness, he also couldnât keep the smile off his lips.
Rubbing the back of Shen Qingshuâs head, Shen Qingshu hugged him back while rubbing his ear.
Han Cheng kissed his side face. Shen Qingshu returned him a warm kiss as radiant as sunshine.
That night, Shen Qingshu was very happy. Laying in bed after taking a bath, he excitedly questioned Han Cheng.
âWhat company? Has my agent been decided? When can I shoot? Whereâs my contract? Have you talked to them?â
Han Cheng: â¦
Shen Qingshu pulled his sleeve. âAlthough itâs someone you know, when it comes to the contract we have to take a closer look. Do you know a lawyer? Letâs take a lawyer with us tomorrow? Itâs safer.â
Han Cheng: â¦
Han Cheng tucked him into the quilt. âNo need to bring a lawyer. We are high school classmates. Donât worry. If he dares to tamper with your contract, I dare to swallow his company. So go to sleep.â
âI canât sleep.â Shen Qingshu grabbed the quilt. âIâm too excited now.â
âThe reason is?â
âOf course, Iâve long wanted to shoot a movie, but had no means. Iâm ready to save the country and participate in the draft. Now that you tell me that I donât have to go to the draft and can shoot in advance. Iâm so happy.â
âThen you shouldnât have kept it secret before. Not telling me anything.â Han Cheng thought he was capable in this aspect. âIf we hadnât gone to the bar this time, I wouldnât know you had a dream of becoming an actor.â
âI donât want to trouble you.â Shen Qingshu explained, âYouâve helped me a lot by letting me live in your house. Itâs too burdensome if I ask you to help me find a job too.â
âI think youâre not feeling burdened at all.â
âThatâs because you contacted them for me on your own initiative. This is your kindness. If I refuse, then I donât know good from bad and your good intentions will be wasted.â
Han Cheng nodded, âAs long as you understand.â
âOf course, thereâs nothing I donât understand.â Shen Qingshu is not modest at all.
âSince you canât sleep, why donât we do some bedtime exercises to help tire you out.â Han Cheng said meaningfully.
Shen Qingshu opened his eyes in an instant. Then Han Cheng saw his little supercar nod without reserve, as if he looked forward to it âOkay.â
Han Cheng couldnât help laughing, âAre you sure?â
âI canât sleep anyway.â Shen Qingshu said frankly, âand Iâm happy, so I also want to do something that makes you happy.â
âThen Iâm very thankful.â
Shen Qingshu opened his hands, âYouâre welcome.â
Han Cheng pulled the man up into his arms with a laugh. Then hugged him tight as they began kissing.
That night was joyful.
TN: The second half felt all the more heartwarming after that first half.
1The tree wants to stand still, but the wind keeps blowing its branches and leaves . A tree is an objective thing, and the wind is time that goes by without stopping. It is a metaphor that the flow of time does not stop for personal wishes. It is mostly used to lament that when the son hopes to fulfill his parentsâ filial piety, his parents have already died.
