CH 86

He talked with Bai Jian for a while. Before the director came to him and Bai Jian wisely left.

Shen Qingshu listened to the director talk about the movie and walked through the scene with Meng Zhi before shooting. Then he went to the set and began to officially start shooting.

He and Meng Zhi had two scenes today. After the filming, it was getting dark but Shen Qingshu didn’t leave in a hurry. He watched Meng Zhi and others filming for a while, until he felt hungry. Then he returned to the hotel with Zhou Jianming and the others for a meal.

Now that he is free, he has time to think about Han Cheng and the protagonist shou.

How will he tell Han Cheng that his wife is online?

How will he not let Han Cheng feel the dissolution of the car friend relationship is too abrupt?

Shen Qingshu was eating vegetables, and his brain turned around, but he couldn’t come up with an answer.

Alas, it’s unacceptable if it’s too sudden. Without a step-by-step process and a reasonable explanation Han Cheng probably can’t accept it.

Shen Qingshu had a distracted dinner and went back to his room. He planned to call Han Cheng over first. If he met Bai Jian, under the golden evening wind and amongst the pure white,1 the tortoise stares at the mung bean. He could then go with the flow and propose to dissolve their relationship.

If Han Cheng doesn’t fall in love at first sight, he will analyse the specific problems according to the situation at that time and deal with the future events flexibly.

“Yes, that’s it. I will call Han Cheng to come and see what his attitude is!” Shen Qingshu clapped his hands and decided.

As soon as Han Cheng got home, he received a call from Shen Qingshu, “Do you have any free time?”

“Why, miss me?” Han Cheng asked him.

Shen Qingshu answered vaguely, “Do you want to visit me?”

“It’s only been a few days and you can’t wait.” Han Cheng pretended to be arrogant, “I’m very busy. I have a lot of work at hand.”

Shen Qingshu heard his words and thought he was really busy recently. So he replied with, “Remember to come and visit when you are free.”

“Depends on my schedule. I’ll go when I have time.” Han Cheng said contentedly.

Shen Qingshu didn’t urge him. After all, the winners in life have both career and love. Love isn’t the only thing, career is also very important, so Han Cheng being busy with his career is also a good thing.

“Well, as long as you remember. I’ll hang up.”

“Wait a minute,” Han Cheng hurriedly called him, “why do you want to hang up so quickly? In a rush to chat with your Meng ge again?”

Shen Qingshu could hardly laugh or cry. “What are you thinking? He’s still filming. he’s the male lead, how can he have so much time to chat with me.”

“No? I think you two talked for a long time last night?”

“That’s for work.”

“I also want world peace.” Han Cheng replied, “Not chatting tonight?”

“No, no, I’ll report it to you next time.”

“At least you understand.”

Han Cheng talked with him for a long time. Then he hung up with satisfaction and asked Shen Qingshu to have a rest.

He went into the bedroom and looked at the set of Shen Qingshu’s q-version handmade on the bedside table. He went over and picked up one and pinched his face. The small figurine’s face was round, but it couldn’t be pinched.

Han Cheng sighed and put his hand down. Sure enough, it’s better to be with the real person. What’s the use of doing this? Only looks cute.

He calculated the rest of his workload and felt that he should be able to finish his work on Friday and go visit Shen Qingshu.

Since someone is thinking of him, give him a surprise.

Han Cheng smiled and poked the little figurine in front of him.

“I’m so kind to you.” He couldn’t help sighing.

After talking with Han Cheng, Shen Qingshu read the script for a while and then went to have a rest.

Meng Zhi returned to the hotel after finishing filming. Subconsciously, he wants to find Shen Qingshu to discuss tomorrow’s scenes, but then he reacts to the fact that it’s very late now. He didn’t say anything in advance so Shen Qingshu may have already rested.

When he thought of this, he didn’t bother Shen Qingshu anymore. He went straight back to his room and prepared to shoot with Shen Qingshu again tomorrow morning.

Shen Qingshu had a restless sleep. In his dream, Han Cheng was angry with him and refused to talk to him. He tried his best, but Han Cheng ignored him and with this sense of urgency he woke up.

The morning sun shone in, Shen Qingshu glanced at his watch. A little past 7 o’clock, he stretched, sat up and wondered why he had such a dream?

Thoughts in the day influenced his dream at night?

Shen Qingshu rubbed his face to sober himself up and got out of bed to wash.

When Meng Zhi arrived at the set, he saw that Shen Qingshu was already there. He was sitting in his chair and looking down at the script. The sun was shining on him, covering him like silk, warm and sweet.

Gentle and bright, but not dazzling.

Meng Zhi went over and said hello to him, “good morning.”

“Good morning.” Shen Qingshu raised his head.

“Have you memorised the lines of the scene to be shot later?”

“I’ve already memorised them.” Shen Qingshu smiled.

“That’s just right. Run through the scene with me and I’ll check.”

“Okay.” Shen Qingshu put away the script and practised with him.

After practising with Meng Zhi, he saw Bai Jian sitting alone. After thinking about it he walked over and sat next to him.

“Why did you come so early?”

He remembered that Bai Jian didn’t have a scene today. Not only today, but most of the time, he was free.

“I came to see how Meng Ge performs, while listening to Director Zhang’s guidance and taking notes.” Bai Jian replied.

“You’re dedicated.” Shen Qingshu praised him.

Bai Jian scratched his head and felt a little embarrassed. “I’m just idle and have a lot of free time. I just want to listen and see more. It’s also beneficial to my acting in the future.”

Shen Qingshu nodded and looked at him more quietly.

He really has a very comfortable appearance. With an unaggressive and very gentle style. Although he may not be eye-catching at first glance, the more you look the more charming he is.

“You are still young, there are still many opportunities in the future.” Shen Qingshu encouraged him.

What he said is also true. In the future, Bai Jian really got a lot of opportunities with the help of Han Cheng. He grew up all the way and finally became a famous actor.

The reason why it’s just a well-known actor, not a movie emperor or a best actor, is that the original novel focuses on love, not career. So when the misunderstanding between Han Cheng and Bai Jian is lifted, the book ends when they get together.

“Later, you may meet a noble man.”

Bai Jian laughed when he heard the speech, “how can it be?”

“What’s impossible? People must have a dream. What if it comes true?”

Bai Jian shook his head gently and didn’t speak.

Shen Qingshu looked at him like this and remembered his on-off and on-off relationship with Han Cheng in the novel. Eighty percent was due to his lack of confidence in himself and distrust of Han Cheng, so he patted Bai Jian on the shoulder, “You have to be confident, you are the best.”

Bai Jian looked at his bright smile aimed at himself. If he had Shen Qingshu’s appearance and popularity, he would be confident. But not everyone is like Shen Qingshu, he has a clear self-awareness.

“Thank you.” He said shyly to Shen Qingshu.

Shen Qingshu looked at him like this and didn’t know what to say.

He shook his head and smiled bitterly. There’s no need to be so insecure.

Although he knew that Bai Jian, the protagonist shou, was not so confident because of his gentle character, he never thought he was so insecure.

No wonder they had so many misunderstandings.

But who makes Han Cheng like him? Money can’t buy him love. As long as the two of them like each other, it doesn’t matter what other people think.

When Shen Qingshu thought of this, he felt that car friends were really different from true love. Car friends only looked at the skin bag. For true love they pay attention to the inside and spend a lifetime together.

The one they love is the best and the others are not important.

Shen Qingshu couldn’t help looking at Bai Jian again. He felt that he was really lucky to meet a lover like Han Cheng.

How amazing Han Chengis. He is gentle and considerate, humorous and generous, handsome and good tempered. The most important trait is always being willing to respect others. Perhaps only Han Cheng, a gentle person, can encourage him, give him confidence and let him move towards a better tomorrow.

People like himself who are almost narcissistic with self-confidence, naturally can’t arouse others’ desire for protection.

When he thought of this, he unconsciously thought that when he filmed “Southern Rose”, Su Luo and Sun Xuan always seeked trouble. When Han Cheng knew it, he asked him why he didn’t tell him. He obviously wanted to help him, but was refused.

He doesn’t like to rely too much on others. He wants to solve everything he can solve by himself, so maybe Han Cheng wanted to protect him at that time, but he refused.

Shen Qingshu was confused for a while, but he soon woke up again. What was he thinking? It’s useless.

He is such a person. He will act the same a hundred times over.

Really, he doesn’t know why he suddenly thought of this.

Strange.

Shen Qingshu shook his head and didn’t let himself think about it any more. He faced Bai Jian again and wanted to ask him what kind of person he liked, as well as say a few good words for Han Cheng. However Bai Jian was not friendly with him and they didn’t know each other well. It was too abrupt to say that.

So he just said to him, “If you have any problems with the crew, come to me.”

Bai Jian didn’t quite understand why he was so kind to himself and asked, “Shen ge, why do you take care of me so much?”

Shen Qingshu has long thought out his reasons, “In the crew the only people of the same age are us. And I am a newcomer, you are also a newcomer. We are both newcomers, so naturally we should take care of each other.”

Bai Jian nodded and felt that what he said was too flattering, “Shen ge, how can you be the same as me? Although we are about the same age, there are too many other differences.”

“It’s all right. You’ll catch up slowly. Your future still has a long way to go.”

He smiled softly. “Then I’ll go first.”

“Goodbye Shen ge.”

“En.”

Shen Qingshu stood up, brushed his clothes and sat back on his chair again.

He sighed and picked up the script again. He didn’t put down the script until the director called him and went over to prepare to film with Meng Zhi.

Han Cheng was busy for a whole week and finally finished the work at hand on Friday morning and got off work ahead of schedule.

He didn’t tell Shen Qingshu. Under the leadership of Xiao Li, he quietly entered the set.

As a result, as soon as he got to the shooting area, he saw Meng Zhi standing in front of Shen Qingshu and helping him tidy up the collar of his police uniform. Shen Qingshu said something to him making, Meng Zhi laugh and Shen Qingshu laughed as well.

Han Cheng: …

Han Cheng thinks he came right on time!

He walked over with great strides and directly came to Shen Qingshu.

Shen Qingshu looked at him in surprise. He didn’t care that Meng Zhi was still helping him straighten his collar. He went straight to Han Cheng, “Why are you here?”

Seeing him going over to talk to Han Cheng, Meng Zhi’s hand was left hanging. Inexplicably, he felt a little lost and hurriedly took his hand back.

“I shouldn’t have come?” Han Cheng’s words were full of twists and turns.

“Of course not.”

“Then why can’t I come?”

Shen Qingshu was rendered helpless. “I warmly welcome you to come, is that fine?”

“Really?” Han Cheng is full of suspicion.

“Of course.”

Shen Qingshu pointed to the police uniform he had just put on. “How do I look?”

Han Cheng wanted to appreciate his new outfit. Not to mention, he did look pretty handsome.

“Very handsome.”

Shen Qingshu was satisfied. “I think I’m very handsome, too.”

When he finished, he thought that his collar had not been straightened yet, so he thought of Meng Zhi who had just helped him with his collar.

Shen Qingshu looked back in embarrassment and said to Meng Zhi, “Meng ge, thank you.”

“You’re welcome, but your collar hasn’t been fixed yet.” Meng Zhi replied.

He looked at Shen Qingshu who showed his clothes to the other party with an excited face . There was an unconscious brilliance in his eyes, this person is probably not just his driver.

1 a quote from the poem 《鹊桥仙·纤云弄巧》 by Song dynasty poet 秦观.

金风 = golden wind

玉露 = jade dew

一相逢 = upon meeting once

便 = With that

胜却 = be greater than

人间 = humanity

无数 = innumerable

So together the line means (translated more loosely): Upon meeting each other under the golden evening wind and amongst the pure white dew, they shared an experience that others would never understand.

王八绿豆看对眼= “The tortoise stares at the mung bean – see the right eye” Because the tortoise’s eyes are only the size of a mung bean and a mung bean is placed in front of his eyes.

That is to say, when you look at it, your eyes will not move, you will look stupid, you will be dumbfounded, and your eyes will be straight. It means that you are attracted to each other.
