The room fell into silence, neither of them spoke again.
After a while, Qin Zhou raised his head and said unhurriedly: “President He, excuse me, please. I still have to work.”
He Yang didn’t let go of his hand, still surrounded the young man with a very possessive posture, “And then continue to shoot love scenes with that person?”
“Otherwise?” Qin Zhou gave a short laugh and tilted his head slightly.
It was obvious that He Yang was the patron, but Qin Zhou’s posture was even higher than He Yang’s.
It’s like a gambling game ——
The gambler He Yang had already bet all his chips, while Qin Zhou had a good hand of cards and was playing very casually.
In the end, He Yang was the first to admit defeat.
“Don’t shoot.” He Yang tightened his arms slightly, hugged the person in his arms tighter, and lowered his head on the young man’s shoulders.
Qin Zhou said leisurely: “I’m an actor, and it’s normal to make love scenes and kiss scenes.”
“This is my job, and it’s just acting.” Qin Zhou turned his head slightly, and was about to push the man in front of him away when his jaw suddenly was pinched tightly.
Immediately afterwards, the warm breath came closer, and the lips were pressed together.
Qin Zhou groaned, put his hands on the table; the hair crown on his head fell off, and his long hair fell loose.
And because Qin Zhou drank wine before shooting the love scene, when He Yang kissed him, the mellow wine smell spread on the tip of his tongue.
***
On the set outside, Lin ChiXiao was still sitting outside, reading the script and looking up at the lounge from time to time.
Lin ChiXiao hesitated for a while, then leaned over to the director and asked, “Director, just now Qin Zhou——”
The director interrupted: “Don’t ask, just pretend you didn’t see anything.”
Lin ChiXiao nodded his head. He had no choice but to continue reading the script.
He had met that person twice before, both in Qin Zhou’s room. The two seemed to be old acquaintances. Now that Qin Zhou was taken away by that person, it should be fine.
Lin ChiXiao read the script for a while, while the director beside him was sorting out the equipment and he didn’t say whether to continue shooting or not.
After a long time, the door to the lounge was finally opened.
The director immediately looked over there, and Lin ChiXiao also quickly raised his head.
From the lounge, a white figure came out.
It’s just that Qin Zhou looked a bit disordered right now. His hairstyle was all messed up, his long hair hung over his shoulders, his clothes were also messed up, and he lowered his head slightly.
And behind Qin Zhou, followed a tall man.
The suit jacket on the man was also a little wrinkled, and the tie was a little crooked.
After the two came out, no one made a response.
Qin Zhou went directly to the dressing room, while He Yang walked towards the director.
We’re sorry for MTLers or people who like using reading mode, but our translations keep getting stolen by aggregators so we’re going to bring back the copy protection. If you need to MTL please retype the gibberish parts.
The director quickly got up, moved a chair over, and said respectfully: “President He.”

He Yang was still reading the script, and suddenly said: “Qin Zhou’s love scenes are deleted.”
The director was not surprised by this result. He nodded and said: “Okay, okay.”
At the beginning, this love scene was not included in the script, but they added it at the last moment, and it would not affect the script even if it was deleted now.
The director also recalled He Yang’s attitude towards Qin Zhou today. Probably, it was Qin Zhou who hid about the love scene from the gold master, He Yang, and now the gold master was provoked and unhappy.
After confirming the script with He Yang, the director went directly to the dressing room.
The director knocked on the door, opened it, and saw that Qin Zhou and Lin ChiXiao were inside, and the makeup artist was still helping with makeup.
So the director said: “You don’t need to shoot today, go back and rest.”
“We don’t need to shoot?” Lin ChiXiao was a little surprised, and glanced at Qin Zhou again.
Qin Zhou didn’t have any expression on his face, he just asked, “Director Li, will you continue shooting the love scene tomorrow?”
“The love scene won’t be shot. And, we’ll continue with the former script.” The director waved his hand hurriedly.
“Okay.” Qin Zhou nodded, then got up and went to the changing room.
Qin Zhou took off the wig, changed his clothes, and when he came out of the dressing room, he saw He Yang was still waiting for him on the set.
He Yang came over, “I’ll see you off.”
Qin Zhou stared at the man for a while, but finally followed He Yang into the car without saying anything.
Qin Zhou leaned back on the seat and looked out the car window.
After returning to the hotel, Qin Zhou took out the room card and went back to the room.
Qin Zhou took off his coat and threw it on the sofa. He Yang was still following him. He leaned over, and asked in a low voice, “Are you angry?”
“No.” Qin Zhou’s reply was very flat. He didn’t care about the matter of changing the script.
It’s not the first time he had encountered a director who had changed the script at the last moment. After all he was only a small supporting role, and He Yang was the investor, so it’s normal to ask for script changes.
What he cared about was another thing.
Qin Zhou turned sideways, looked at the man in front of him, and said slowly, “But I don’t want what happened today to happen again.”
“I’m still working, and you interrupted me suddenly, and everyone saw it.” Qin Zhou was not in a good mood.
He was halfway through filming, but He Yang came in and carried him out. Now the director and the others knew the relationship between him and He Yang immediately.
He Yang: “Only four people saw it.”
“Four people basically mean that the whole world knows about it.” Qin Zhou smiled self-deprecatingly.
The best way to keep a secret was to not tell anyone.
Just tell one person, and everyone will know.
“In the future, please keep a safe distance from me in public.” Qin Zhou returned to the sofa, “I don’t want our relationship to be known by others.”
“Can’t we make it public?”
“Public what?” Qin Zhou took the charger from the sofa, after charging the phone, he then looked up at He Yang, and said unhurriedly: “Do you want to disclose the relationship with your bed partner?”
He Yang lowered his head, habitually touched the ring on his left hand, and said slowly: “It’s not a bed partner.”
“It’s not a bed partner, then what is it?” Qin Zhou laughed, and leaned lazily on the sofa, “Or, you still want to tell others——”
“That we are just playing around?”
Qin Zhou Looking at the man in front of him, there was still a smile on his face.
It’s just for fun.
This was what He Yang said to other people back then.
Obviously everyone knew that he was a stand-in lover, but they deliberately kept it from him, and then waited for the real master to come back and made fun of him.
Qin Zhou lowered his eyes, and didn’t make another sound. He played with his phone with his head down, without looking at the other party’s reaction.
The room was silent for a long time, and Qin Zhou heard a male voice——
“Sorry.”
Qin Zhou said lightly, “No need to apologize.”
There was no point in apologizing.
Qin Zhou put down his phone. He didn’t want to continue this topic. He took his pajamas, and went to the bathroom first.
At night, He Yang stayed overnight.
Qin Zhou nestled under the quilt, glanced at the group messages. The director had already sent the latest schedule.
Because the love scene was deleted, the following plot was also slightly adjusted.
Qin Zhou made a calculation; he had three days off at the end of the month and did not need to film.
So Qin Zhou said: “I’m going to see Grandma at the end of the month.”
“Well, I’ll accompany you.” He Yang responded, and stretched out a hand to put it on the young man’s waist, his fingertips rubbing lightly.
Qin Zhou’s waist was more sensitive, and he also knew what He Yang’s action meant.
However Qin Zhou just said: “Don’t hug me, I won’t do it today.”
Qin Zhou moved that hand away, then moved towards the outside, and continued to look at the phone.
He didn’t need to shoot love scenes now, and so he didn’t need to have s*x with He Yang anymore.
***
At the end of the month, Qin Zhou followed He Yang back to Nancheng.
Qin Zhou went directly to the hospital and went to see his grandma first.
Grandma had been in better health recently. When Qin Zhou passed by, the nurse was taking Grandma to bask in the sun in the garden.
The two were sitting on a lounge chair in the garden. A radio was placed on the table, and Grandma was still listening to opera.
Qin Zhou walked over, came to the old woman, and called out: “Grandma.”
The old woman raised her head, and because of her old age, her eyesight was poor. However, she could still see the vague figure of the young man, and also the black hat the young man was wearing on his head.
The old woman smiled. She held Qin Zhou’s hand and patted it: “Xiao Zhou.”
Qin Zhou just sat next to her, talking with the old woman.
And He Yang stood at a distance, staying in the corner. He took out a cigarette, and lit it.
A scarlet dot lighted at the fingertips, He Yang smoked a cigarette, and when he was about to continue smoking, he suddenly noticed several figures coming out of the corridor not far away.
Shen XiuZhu smiled and talked to the people beside him, walking towards the garden.
Soon, Shen XiuZhu also saw He Yang, and hurried over.
Young Master Qi was still at the side, supporting Shen XiuZhu. After seeing He Yang, he greeted him: “Young Master He!”
He Yang nodded casually, put the lighter in his pocket, then looked at Shen XiuZhu again, and asked: “How is the rehabilitation?”
“Very good.” Shen XiuZhu was warm and gentle, “The doctor said, I can exercise slowly during this period, and I will be almost like a normal person in the future.”
“XiuZhu’s body is a little weak, and after you recover, we’ll take you out to play!” Young Master Qi grinned.
After Shen XiuZhu heard it, he couldn’t help but say: “Every time you guys go out to a party, you don’t come to call me.”
“You are not in good health, and some places are not suitable for you.” Young Master Qi explained, and said simply: “How about this? Tomorrow, I will call them all out to gather together to celebrate your smooth operation!”
Shen XiuZhu replied with a smile. He looked at He Yang again, and asked, “Is He Yang going too?”
Young Master Qi said teasingly, “Young Master He, you also came out to get together! It’s very hard for you to come out to get together with us recently!”
He Yang didn’t agree immediately, but just said: “I might not have time.”
Young Master Qi was still a little surprised. Although He Yang didn’t come over every time when they got together, as long as Shen XiuZhu was around, He Yang would definitely come.
So, Young Master Qi asked: “What’s the matter? Is something wrong at the company?”
Not far away, there was a voice ——
“He Yang.”
Young Master Qi looked over and saw a young man wearing a black hat walking over.
After the young man came near, Young Master Qi saw the other person’s face clearly. He was slightly stunned, and subconsciously looked at He Yang.
Young Master He……… did he find a substitute?
This feels like a substitute hell.
This novel is breaking me apart bit by bit and yet I still want to read it to the end. Good lord holds head
It’s weirdlt compelling while slowly breaking your heart and grinding it to dust.
Couldn’t have said it better, my heart is in pieces! 😭
Me too my dear. Me too…
I adore the restrained tone of this story. The angst is pitched perfectly. I hurt for both sides…
And… Murphy’s law of novel titles holds true… The trashier the title the better written the book.
I never knew there was such law in the novel fandom but.. Apparently it applies perfectly.
Maybe QZ isn’t angry, but I am! (ノ•̀ o •́ )ノ ~ ┻━┻
Thank You for the new chapter ♡(> ਊ <)♡
Thank you for the new chapter. Ohhhh… Face to face drama!! Cant wait to read what will happen.
We finally got an apology, it’s not enough but it’s a start. I no longer wish abject suffering on he yang.
F u
Thanks
Not the substitute thing again. 🙄 My baby is not a substitute! He may have been referred to as one before but I refuse to listen to people use the same word to describe Yanyan. Yanyan is his own person and he should be referred to as one!
This is why I don’t like those silent iceberg CEO types!! They always decide everything for themself! He basically set the relationship himself, married himself to Qin without letting anyone know, at this point he’s just delusional and has some mental problems!! He’s at a hospital, he should get his head checked up while there!!!>:#
