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:… It’s fine to like men? Because it’s 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 Qingshu’s novels.

——After 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 didi’s love life!

So he secretly searched for the novel, and naturally found Shen Qingshu’s column and read the available chapters.

It’s 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 Qingshu’s reward list. When Han Yu looked closely, he saw that the top ID and the champion of the reward list, was Car God.

He doesn’t have to guess. It’s definitely Han Cheng.

With his didi’s temperament, can he allow others to be the number one in Shen Qingshu’s 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, “What are you doing?”

“Reading novels.” Han Yu pointed to the page open on his laptop and said, “Experiencing how you and QingQing fall in love in the novel.”

“Then why you didn’t want me to give you the physical book before?”

Making it so you have to search for it secretly!

“I just want to read it by myself, but I don’t plan to read it together with our parents!” Han Yu said helplessly.

Han Cheng chuckled,”It’s better to be happy together than alone. What’s the point of reading it alone, you should share it with our dear parents, okay?”

Han Yu: “Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, why don’t I share your love story with QingQing directly?”

Han Cheng: … It’s boring for you. Let me give you a try and die, OK?!

这你就没意思了，让你试探，不是让你试试就逝世好吗？！

Han Cheng glanced at him and said nothing.

“So Car God is you. Why did you choose this name?”

“He started…” Han Cheng was about to say that Shen Qingshu’s 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 ‘That Night’, 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, “Around the time when he first started writing I didn’t take it seriously and randomly chose the name. Isn’t Car God a cool name?”

“But how did you know it was me?” Han Cheng changed the topic.

“You are so jealous, can you let others become number one in anything related to Shen Qingshu? Isn’t it just money? The last thing you lack is money.”

Hearing what he said, Han Cheng felt that he knew him well and was worthy of being his ge.

“Does QingQing know?” Han Yu asked.

“He didn’t know. I didn’t tell him.”

“Why?” asked Han Yu, puzzled.

“Of course because I don’t want to know.” Han Cheng stated, “He 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.”

“Car 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. “

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, “You have finally grown up.” 

“Nonsense, I’m already an adult.”

“Yes, you’re old enough to get married. What are you if not an adult?”

Han Cheng smiled proudly and turned to look at him. “Heaven and earth know this, you know it, I know it, but don’t tell QingQing, understand?”

“I know. I won’t expose you.”

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 “Plundering time” 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, “So fast?”

“Not 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 Year’s Day.”

Shen Qingshu can only nod helplessly, “Okay, I understand.”

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, “You are not allowed to talk to him much.”

“I know, I know.” Shen Qingshu said while packing his clothes.

“Notify me in advance when your coming back, and I’ll pick you up.”

“Okay.”

“When will you be back?” Han Cheng asked.

Shen Qingshu thought for a moment, “It 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.”

Han Cheng looked at him gloomily, “One week.”

Shen Qingshu saw his reluctance and hugged him, “I’ll invite you to see the movie when it’s released, mua~”

He kissed Han Cheng on the face, “I will video chat with you every day.”

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.

It’s been half a year. Shen Qingshu saw the actors and directors of “Plundering Time” 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.

That’s right, Bai Jian is unpopular and doesn’t have many roles in the film. Therefore, he will not be arranged for publicity events.

That’s good too, he thought, to save the embarrassment of the two meeting each other.

Director Zheng was very happy to see him. “Xiao Shen is here. How was your movie?”

“Ephemera” 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.

“It has been shot and is being edited now.” Shen Qingshu said truthfully without hiding it from him.

“Quite fast.” Director Zheng laughed, “I originally said that I would fond time to go to the studio to check on you and xiao Mei’s crew, but I didn’t expect that you were all finished.”

“It was shot a little faster than planned, otherwise we might have been able to wait for your visit.”

Director Zheng laughed. “I’ll go and see the film when it is released. Maybe we can be shortlisted together and fight for awards.”

“Director Zheng, don’t tease me. I’m not so ambitious.”

“Don’t you have xiao Mei? She is the type of person who, it’s fine as long as she doesn’t do it, but once she does she is more serious than anyone. She must have some intentions.”

Hearing his words, Shen Qingshu remembered what Mei Ruo said before, “If you are lucky, maybe you can bring a prize back.”

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 didn’t let himself think too deeply.

He was content with what he has, he doesn’t want to be greedy and expect too much.

Meng Zhi hadn’t 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, “I really couldn’t leave at that time, or I would have joined. Qingshu, don’t take it wrong. I was really moved that you remembered me, so I’m afraid you misunderstood me and think I didn’t go because I don’t value you.”

“It’s alright.” Shen Qingshu chuckled, “I understand, I don’t mind.”

Hou Chaorui had already explained this when he refused him before – 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 didn’t have to be him, so he didn’t think there was anything wrong with Hou Chaorui’s 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 didn’t care too much – 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.

“Next time,” Hou Chaorui said, “if there is a chance, I will act in your film.”

“Good.” 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 doesn’t want the other person to be disappointed in him.

“Then I wish you box office success for that movie.” Hou Chaorui smiled.

“En, thank you.” Shen Qingshu toasted with him.
