Chapter 53

Yan Zhao deleted Shen Yuanting’s precious inventory and went to the set with great momentum.

With boots, robe, and belt on, following the whistling sound, the black cloak fluttered in the air, exuding a majestic aura.

He Shengqi on the side stared wide-eyed: Wow, the male god is so handsome!

Yan Zhao glanced over, He Shengqi shrank back, grabbed the script, and prepared for battle.

He Shengqi didn’t know that he had already become a surprised husky in the male god’s heart. Yan Zhao looked at him indifferently, straightened his cloak, and went for makeup.

With a snap, the sun set in the west.

He Shengqi encountered a problem.

As a Salt Soda, he really wanted to perform in front of the male god, but the damn script not only required him to be confrontational with the male god but also to use physical force!

Damn, what is this going to do, this is blasphemy!

He Shengqi said in a rough voice: “You better get a body double, if there is any bump or bruise, don’t blame me for not showing mercy!”

Yan Zhao glanced at him, “If you’re afraid of problems, then find a replacement yourself.”

He Shengqi spun in place in a panic, his face turning red, making Yan Zhao think he looked more like a Husky.

Zhou Yun comforted his friend, “A real man should not act timidly. If you act well, Zhao Zhao will take notice of you. This isn’t even a real fight scene, and you still hesitate to act. How do you think he will see you?”

He Shengqi gritted his teeth: “Zhou, you are right!”

So the performance began.

In this scene, the prince is lost during a military expedition, his fate unknown. The camp is in chaos, and General He Chi is also at a loss, wanting to take elite soldiers to search for the prince. However, Ye Guiqiu firmly opposes this, leading to a conflict between them.

“He Chi, I used to think you were just a brute, now I think you’re brainless!” Yan Zhao waved his sleeve, “With a major enemy at hand, you still want to take the elite soldiers away. If the enemy attacks suddenly, with no one in command in the army, who will guarantee the lives of the soldiers?!”

He Shengqi clenched his fists: “You don’t understand. I swear to follow His Highness for the rest of my life. Now that His Highness has disappeared, he may be trapped in the enemy camp, or he may be waiting for rescue on the brink of death. Yet you want me to stay in the military camp?! Ye Guiqiu, what are you thinking?!”

Yan Zhao sneered: “What heart do I have? I am just entrusted by His Highness the Crown Prince! His Highness has already planned to make a last-ditch stand, but now you are abandoning his efforts!”

“If His Highness cannot return safely, what’s the point of fighting?!”

“General, watch your words. I know you have a deep friendship with His Highness, but this world belongs to His Majesty the Emperor. Protecting the country is for the Emperor, not because you don’t want to fight, you can just not fight, or you want to escape, you can escape.” Yan Zhao looked out the window, hiding the sorrow in his eyes, and said coldly, “Moreover, His Highness is in grave danger this time. You better not waste your efforts.”

With a bang, the low table was overturned, and cups and dishes fell to the ground. He Shengqi grabbed Yan Zhao’s collar, his eyes red, about to speak his lines, but he saw Yan Zhao’s disheveled hair falling on his shoulders, eyes with a tinge of blue, tightly pressed lips, a mixture of toughness and fatigue, a hint of vulnerability, like a withered bamboo, standing upright even on the brink of death.

He Shengqi almost cried. Oh my god, his idol looked so haggard, as if he had really worked for days and nights without sleep!

Yan Zhao thought to himself, so sleepy, it’s all because of Shen Yuanting. He talks so much before bed and even smokes in the middle of the night. I really want to sleep.

Feeling sorry for his idol, He Shengqi’s voice trembled involuntarily: “Ye Guiqiu, I never expected that I would regard you as a brother, thinking that you were a tough but kind-hearted person. It turns out it was all my wishful thinking. Now our paths diverge, and we have no more connection!”

Yan Zhao pushed him away, his voice cold and harsh: “You’re being sentimental! We were never on the same path to begin with.”

Director Liu rubbed his chin. According to the original assumption, both sides should be angry and throw mud at each other. But this performance… seems not bad?

Director Liu smiled, revealing a grin, and said to his assistant, “Chunzi, contact screenwriter Su. I have an idea to discuss with him.”

Once this scene is finished, we’re done for today. He Shengqi looked at his own hands, and his fingers couldn’t stop trembling.

I actually grabbed the collar of my idol!

Zhou Yun ate melon seeds and said, “Do you have sheep madness?”

He Shengqi raised his hands and said, “I haven’t washed my hands for a year!”

Yan Zhao passed by and gave a strange look.

Zhou Yun: “Pfft.”

He Shengqi: “…” No, it’s not like that!

He Shengqi was about to explain to Yan Zhao, but was stopped by his assistant: “Brother Qi, Director Xie is calling.”

Thinking of Director Xie, He Shengqi’s expression changed dramatically, finally settling on a stern face, “Let him wait!”

Just as he delayed, Yan Zhao’s figure disappeared. He Shengqi quickly grabbed a crew member and asked about Yan Zhao’s whereabouts, then ran towards the parking lot.

One night without explanation, pretending to be a pervert turned into a real pervert!

As soon as Yan Zhao sat in the car, he heard He Shengqi’s shout from behind, “Teacher Yan, wait!”

He rolled down the window and asked, “What’s up? Do you need to reshoot a scene?”

Talking to the male god alone, He Shengqi’s heart was beating so fast it felt like it was coming out of his throat, “N-no, it’s not that!”

Yan Zhao: “Then you…”

He Shengqi: “I’m really not a pervert!”

Yan Zhao: “Huh?”

Seeing Yan Zhao’s puzzled expression, He Shengqi said, “I didn’t mean not washing my hands!”

Yan Zhao: “Sorry, I didn’t catch what you were saying.” What does washing hands have to do with him?

He Shengqi blushed and gestured frantically, “I really like you!”

Yan Zhao: “!!!”

Seeing the male god widen his eyes, He Shengqi realized his words were ambiguous and quickly added, “I’m your fan!”

Seeing the male god visibly relieved, He Shengqi felt a bit emotional. Although he didn’t mean it that way towards the male god, is it such a terrifying thing to be liked by him?

Yan Zhao asked, “You’re my fan, why do you always glare at me during filming?”

He Shengqi blushed and said, “I, I just have a fierce look, and sometimes speak without thinking, I’m really not intentionally targeting you.”

Yan Zhao breathed a sigh of relief, “It’s okay, I didn’t take it to heart, and you don’t need to worry about it either.”

The male god is so amazing! He Shengqi said excitedly, “I became a fan of yours after watching your concert in Haicheng! You were so dazzling on stage!”

As he enthusiastically shared his journey of idolizing Yan Zhao, just as he was talking about finally getting the male god’s photo book, a cold voice interrupted, “Excuse me, you really like Yan Zhao, he knows, but he has urgent matters to attend to, so you better confess another day.”

He Shengqi looked towards the source of the voice and realized that there was another handsome man sitting beside the radiant male god.

After watching the live broadcast of Yuanzhao Technology’s drone launch event, He Shengqi knew that he was the CEO of Yuanzhao. After greeting him, he felt confused.

Was he here to pick up the male god after work?

What is his relationship with the male god? Good friends?

In an instant, countless CEO romance novels flashed through his mind:

[Shen Yuanting lifted Yan Zhao’s chin, looking at his innocent yet seductive eyes, and coldly said, “Man, don’t play with fire!”]

[After a night of passion, Yan Zhao got up from the bed, feeling sore and tired. He saw the man pushing open the bathroom door and walking out, wrapped in a towel, giving him a wicked smile, “Are you satisfied with what you saw?”]

[Yan Zhao saw the test results and felt like a bolt from the blue. How is this possible? It was just a one-night stand, but he unexpectedly got pregnant with CEO Shen’s child—]

Stop stop stop, it’s unscientific for men to give birth!!!

He Shengqi was shocked by his own wild imagination, bid farewell to Yan Zhao like a walking corpse, and returned to the set, sitting down on a small stool.

Zhou Yun knocked on the table with melon seeds: “What’s wrong? Why do you look so lost?”

“Nothing.” He Shengqi shook his head, “What type of person do you think my male god would like?”

Zhou Yun: “A powerful woman in men’s clothing?”

He Shengqi annoyed: “Zhou Yun!”

Zhou Yun laughed: “Why are you asking this, are you trying to pursue him?”

He Shengqi was surprised: “Nonsense, I’m just a fan, I hate shipping fans the most, a male god should be beautiful on his own.”

They should just be good brothers with President Shen, yes, that’s it!

Inside the car, the driver stared straight ahead, and the tall buildings outside the window quickly receded.

Shen Yuanting: “Who is he?”

Yan Zhao: “A colleague, playing the role of the second male lead.”

Shen Yuanting “Oh” responded, looked outside the window, remained silent, with a calm expression, no different from usual.

But Yan Zhao still didn’t understand him?

Yan Zhao smiled, went over and hugged the man, sniffed the back of his neck: “It smells like vinegar.”

Shen Yuanting: “No, it doesn’t.”

Yan Zhao: “Then it doesn’t.”

Shen Yuanting’s hand covered his, squeezed into his fingers, and held his hand tightly.

Shen Yuanting: “Don’t talk to him.”

Yan Zhao: “Okay.”

After a while, Shen Yuanting said, “I also have photobooks, I bought 100 of them.”

Yan Zhao: “…You bought this! Why did you buy so many!”

Zhong Ling told him that someone had bought a hundred copies of PB and suspected that the buyer wanted to resell them at a high price. So they monitored the situation every day, and it turned out the buyer was indeed a rich fan.

Shen Yuanting: “It looks good.”

Yan Zhao kissed his neck, thinking that his man’s neck was white and long, and he liked it very much: “The real person looks better. Turn around and look at me.”

Shen Yuanting turned his head, kissed his upper lip, and then kissed his lower lip.

Their lips rubbed together for a moment, but didn’t deepen.

Shen Yuanting touched his face, feeling a burning flame inside. He wanted to be more intimate with him, but also felt that time seemed to stop at this moment.

In any case, he wanted to be together with him all the time, unwilling to be apart for even a second.

Shen Yuanting’s throat rolled, and the dark thoughts that couldn’t be seen by others also emerged.

He wanted to lock his lover up, keep him by his side, possess him, fill him, and make him the only one in his eyes…

But that would be too much.

Shen Yuanting hugged Yan Zhao tightly, fell silent for a while, and said, “I’m sorry, I may not be as good as you think.”

Yan Zhao looked at him in confusion, not understanding why he was apologizing. He gently stroked the man’s back and comforted him, “It’s okay, no matter what shortcomings you have, I’ll be here to change and improve together with you.”
