Yu Xin came before Qinghuan had finished eating that trayful of steamed stuffed buns. He had the key to Yu Qinghuan’s house, and it was even easier for him to come and go than to enter his own house.
Yu Qinghuan was still in his pajamas. As soon as sitting down opposite Qinghuan, Yu Xin almost stabbed his own eyes by the bite marks and hickeys on Qinghuan’s collarbone.
“Qinghuan, you really should pay more attention.”
“Hmm?” Yu Qinghuan lowered his head, only then did he notice what an awkward situation he was in. His face turned red and almost choked out a mouthful of porridge. He fled hastily into the bedroom. After a long time, he came out, wrapping himself tightly.
In the end last night, his physical strength was severely overdrawn and he even went to bed with the help of Huo Qu, so he didn’t notice his condition at all. Unexpectedly, he was caught red-handed by Yu Xin.
“All right, no need to lower your head to cover it.” Yu Xin was a little embarrassed at first, but felt more at ease seeing Yu Qinghuan was even more embarrassed than he was.
Yu Qinghuan’s character was cool and reserved. It’s quite fresh to see him in such a mess.
He laughed, “I’ve seen it all, what’s the use of your disguise? Remember to hide it properly next time.”
After a pause, seeing that Yu Qinghuan’s face was nearly going to be buried in the bowl, he changed the subject tenderly. “Director Liu called me this morning and said that the filming address had been nailed, so you can come over this afternoon.”
“All right.” Seeing him talking about work, Yu Qinghuan felt much relieved and the awkwardness was almost gone. He nodded and replied, “I’ll be there after dinner.”
Yu Xin said ‘hmm’ and then told him, “The movie will start shooting next week. What Director Liu means is to let the three of you have more contacts and know each other more.”
Mentioning the other two, Yu Xin immediately got excited, eyes beaming, “Do you know who the male lead is? It’s Qin Zheng! You are absolutely lucky! There is no need to worry about the box office as long as they got him!”
“Who did you say?” Yu Qinghuan suddenly stood up, looking at Yu Xin in disbelief with his eyes popped out, “Qin Zheng? Is he the male lead of How to Love You?”
How is it possible?
The movie was written by Zeng Peirong, but his screenplay had always favored the second male lead. With Qin Zheng’s status in the circle, how could he take such a movie?!
“Ge, is it possible you are mistaken?”
“How can I make a mistake on such a thing? Director Liu told me this morning himself.” Yu Xin didn’t mind his questioning. He took out his cell phone happily and motioned Yu Qinghuan to watch it himself. “Besides, the official Weibo of the movie @ both you and Qin Zheng. How could it be false?”
Yu Qinghuan stared at the screen for a full minute before slumping onto the chair.
In fact, Qin Zheng was the person he did not know how to face most.
He was almost certain that Qin Zheng had a crush on him in his previous life.
He always thought that Qin Zheng’s consideration and care to him was due to his personality. But in retrospect, Yu Qinghuan was the only one who could get Qin Zheng’s attention.
They had known each other for so many years, but Qin Zheng had never expressed his feelings for him and even had changed several girlfriends during that period.
Therefore, even if Qin Zheng was especially good to him, Yu Qinghuan had never thought it was out of love.
Yu Qinghuan had never dealt with such a matter. He did not know whether to keep a distance with Qin Zheng or treat him as the way before.
Both approaches seemed reasonable, but he always felt there was something not right. He sighed and kind of regretted taking the movie.
“What’s the matter, Qinghuan?” Yu Xin looked at him strangely. “Aren’t you always on good terms with Qin Zheng?” After a pause, he asked him tentatively, “Are you afraid he may steal your thunder?”
Yu Qinghuan rubbed his temples and heaved a sigh after quite a while, “No.”
In the research institute, Huo Qu browsed his Weibo in his spare time and unexpectedly saw the news that Yu Qinghuan was going to act in the same movie with Qin Zheng.
He felt his head blow immediately!
How could this be?! Was everyone thinking that he didn’t know? Qin Zheng had always wanted to steal Qinghuan from him!
He suddenly stood up from his chair, holding the phone and rushed out of the office. He wanted to call Qinghuan. Suddenly, he heard two intern girls gossiping in a corner of the corridor.
“Did you see the Weibo hot search? I didn’t expect Song Wei got hooked up with Chen Chen! I feel that the two of them are not from the same world at all!”
“What is the big fuss?” The other said, “There are so many stars fall in with each other during filming! Think about it, after working together for such a long time, you know, like a blazing fire and dry wood, two people will surely grow feelings with each other.”
“You’re right, maybe their next news would be getting married and having a baby!”
…
Hearing this, Huo Qu felt his hair was going to stand up!
Growing feelings when filming? Getting married and having a baby?!
120% vigilance rose from his heart, and he stood there thoughtfully for a moment. Suddenly, his face turned gloomy and he stormed towards the dean’s office.
The two intern girls got startled.
“What…what happened to Professor Huo? He looked not in the mood!”
“Ah! Is it because he heard us gossiping instead of working in the office and is made at us? After all, Professor Huo is always so serious.”
“Geez, it can’t be! Professor Huo is my Prince Charming, QAQ. How can I leave him such a bad impression?”
“Stop whining and go to work. Maybe you can restore a little bit of your image in front of Professor Huo.”
In fact, Professor Huo, who even did not remember their faces, was in the dean’s office at this time, applying for a long vacation.
“Why do you suddenly want to take a vacation?”
The dean looked at him doubtfully and was puzzled by his request. Ever since he entered the research institute, Huo Qu had never taken any vacation. Except for the days delayed some time ago, he would come to work every day.
Why did he suddenly make such a request? Was there anything wrong with his family?
On thinking that Yu Qinghuan might develop feelings with Qin Zheng, Huo Qu felt that his temples cannot help jumping. He completely lost his head and even wanted to take out the small laser cannon he had built himself and target at Qin Zheng! All he could think about was those words like ‘marriage’ and ‘children’ that the two intern girls just said. There was already no room for the dean’s words.
Hearing this, he unconsciously said what he thought, “Getting married and having a baby!”
The dean, “…”
Does Professor Huo lose his mind? He even had never laid his eyes on a woman. Who is he going to get married with and have a baby???
Oh, god! Was the pillar of their research institute changing silly by his heavy work?
Thinking about this, the dean suddenly felt kind of guilty. He coughed and showed his tolerance for the first time, “You can take the vacation after the handover of your job.”
After a pause, he added, “Take as long vacation as you want.”
It was the time for the poor boy to have a good rest! His nerves were in disorder because of women!
