Cen Nan only stayed in Yandu for four or five days. When he was there, Liang Muqiu didn’t think anything was wrong, but when he left, it seemed that the days suddenly became lonely.
Sometimes, Liang Muqiu would turn his head and say something, only to suddenly realize that Cen Nan had gone back.
Unfortunately, there were also sweethearts swaying in front of him all day.
That pair of young lead actors really didn’t consider the crew as outsiders. They thought they were well-hidden but the whole crew, even the lighting engineer and props master could see something between them.
But when young boys fall in love, they are so pure and innocent that no one wants to expose them. Everyone just pretended they didn’t know anything.
Liang Muqiu didn’t have any complaints about their show of affection, but as a person who was about to enter his middle ages, he was somewhat stimulated and simply stopped paying attention.
He had been idle recently. Although he had joined the team, there were not many changes needed in the script so there was no need for him to worry about anything beyond that.
After Cen Nan returned to Bincheng, he was quickly grabbed by Ren Qihan. Knowing that Liang Muqiu was on a business trip, Ren Qihan was even more overjoyed and said to Cen Nan in a very barbaric way, “Then don’t go back yet, it’s not a bad idea to sleep at the firm. Don’t worry, there’s no one waiting at home anyway.”
Just because of the last sentence, Cen Nan barely avoided fighting him on the spot.
When he relayed these words to Liang Muqiu, Liang Muqiu didn’t have much sympathy. The old god was present and his heart was as strong as iron.
But he slowly corrected himself and said, “He’s wrong to say that but if you live and work in the law firm, make sure you won’t starve my family’s Edamame.”
Cen Nan was silent for two seconds, realising firsthand what it means to be less than a dog.
But complaining was complaining. For a week after returning, he didn’t have much time to harass Liang Muqiu and could only make phone calls during lunch or dinner breaks.
Liang Muqiu didn’t say anything, but his heart felt empty also.
So much so that he had nothing to do and began to think of a new script.
Because the story had not yet formed, he just took a notebook and a pen to write some scattered inspirations. The pen he used was the Ferrari da Varese that Cen Nan gifted him. The mother-of-pearl pen body was very beautiful no matter when it was taken out.
Wen Yang was a discerning person. He glanced at the pen and commented, “It’s not bad, looks exquisite.”
There were not many people who still liked to write with this type of pen these days. Liang Muqiu’s shirt was clean, his trousers ironed and straight, and he looked handsome even when sitting at a simple small table.
Wen Yang couldn’t help but think that although he and Liang Muqiu weren’t interested in each other, Mr Liang was his type based on appearance.
Unfortunately, it was too easy for Cen Nan to get him.
Probably because of the disagreement on the first day they met, he and Cen Nan could be said to be at odds with each other.
However, Liang Muqiu was thinking about something and when he heard Wen Yang’s words, he answered casually, “En, Cen Nan gave it to me.”
Wen Yang gave a “tsk” and felt that he was being superfluous.
He was also bored on the set and when he turned around, he saw the two leading actors flirting with each other under the tree. The makeup artist next door was flirting with the coordinator, and even the set manager was on the phone with his girlfriend. It made him seem out of place.
He was thirty-two this year and although he had partners, they all ended without a reason and in the blink of an eye, he had been single for three to four years already.
It was probably after thirty that he wanted to start a family and start a business. Stimulated by the spring-filled set, he also wanted to fall in love.

He then harassed Liang Muqiu again and said, “Scriptwriter Liang, do you know any boys around you who are over eighteen years old, good-looking, good-natured, gentle and lovely? Can you introduce them to me? The age is capped at forty. Any older and we may not be suitable for each other.”

Wen Yang grimaced and said, “If I got along well with the entertainment circle, would I still need to ask you?”
I also think so.
Liang Muqiu thought for a while and observed Wen Yang’s extremely attractive face. Based on the principle of not letting fat and water flow into the field of outsiders, he opened his WeChat and found Song Wei’s friend circle.
His latest photo was from a recent gathering where they took a group photo. They were all handsome and beautiful, with a relaxed and lazy expression. Although Song Wei was not the most eye-catching one in the picture, he was gentle and lovely enough, wearing a Morandi pink shirt and smiling.
“If I have to recommend someone,” Liang Muqiu said, “It’s my best friend, Song Wei. He perfectly meets your standards, but I don’t know if he will like you or not.”
These words were purely to create a situation for Song Wei.
Based on Liang Muqiu’s understanding of Song Wei, a handsome guy like Wen Yang couldn’t be more pleasing to the eye.
But Wen Yang’s gaze directly skipped over Song Wei and landed in a corner behind him.
“Who is this?” Wen Yang pointed at the tall and slender figure. Because the man stood too far away, his face was a little blurry, but his temperament was excellent, “Is he your friend too?”
Liang Muqiu stared for a moment before recognizing who it was.
It wasn’t someone else.
It was Qin Jiuya whom he had met at Song Wei’s company party before.
Liang Muqiu rolled his eyes at him, knowing that this man didn’t like Song Wei, but Qin Jiuya instead.
“I’m not very familiar with him, he’s a friend of Song Wei’s.” He took back his phone and said, “I can’t play this matchmaker. You can figure it out for yourself.”
After that, Wen Yang went to seriously contemplate. He was a little out of his mind as if suffering from lovesickness.
In the evening, Liang Muqiu told Cen Nan about the matter as a joke and complained about Wen Yang being blind. What was wrong with Song Wei? Although Qin Jiuya was beautiful, the words gentle and cute had no relation to him.
It was obvious that Wen Yang was just talking nonsense.
Cen Nan comforted him patiently, just like a gentle and understanding little white lotus while scolding the person surnamed Wen Yang for not being a good person.
However, he was fully in favour of the affair between them.
Liang Muqiu had a rough mind and couldn’t tell who was interested in him, but Cen Nan and Liang Muqiu had been together for two months. Qin Jiuya would send messages to Liang Muqiu about books and romance now and then, showing that the drunkard's intention was not to drink.
But this person probably also saw that Liang Muqiu had no idea and never stepped out of line, which made his silly Qiuqiu assume that this was a good friend.
Naturally, he would not point it out since he was watching from the sidelines, but old jealousy had already begun to brew in his heart.
Hearing that the scourge surnamed Wen Yang was interested in another scourge, Cen Nan thought expressionlessly, it’s so wonderful, it’s best to send them directly to the bridal chamber and hug each other for three years. Don’t come and hook up with Liang Muqiu.
“Forget about them, that surnamed Wen has no vision,” Cen Nan said. “Are you okay there? Do you miss me?”
This sentence, obviously the last part was the key point.
Anyone who understood should utter some sweet words back.
But Liang Muqiu chose to be the one who didn’t understand the romantic atmosphere, saying, “It’s great. When you’re not by my side, the beds are much larger and no one is fighting for the blanket with me when I sleep at night.”
Cen Nan smiled and didn’t take it seriously.
“But I miss you,” he whispered. His voice was gentle and affectionate in the quiet bedroom. “I didn’t feel like this when I was living next door, but after a few days with you in the same bedroom, I came back feeling like the house and bed were empty.”
That’s right.
Liang Muqiu’s face turned red when he remembered the good deeds Cen Nan had done with him in this bed.
Cen Nan didn’t give up and asked again, “Do you really not miss me at all?”
Liang Muqiu closed his eyes and leaned against the head of the bed.
There had been such a thought.
Originally, Cen Nan was abroad and no matter how much he missed Cen Nan, he had nowhere to vent his feelings. Gradually, he got used to it.
Now that he was reunited with Cen Nan, his emotions were resurging. He was like a piece of dead wood that had been soaked in the spring rain and was slowly coming back to life.
But he didn’t say anything and leisurely continued, “I saw something interesting on the set today. Liu Fengtao bought a few popsicles and distributed them to the film crew, but the leading actor playing Xu Jie insisted on biting the one in Chen Mingsheng’s hand. They’re really treating us as blind people.”
Cen Nan laughed and said, “Don’t joke with others. Haven’t you snatched ice cream from my hand before? I didn’t get to drink milk tea either, you took it all away.”
Liang Muqiu also smiled. “You don’t like to eat sweets. You bought them for me on purpose, and you wanted me to snatch them.”
He knew it but still went along with Cen Nan’s wishes.
It was impossible to say who was seducing whom, so they pushed and pulled each other like this, guessing whether the other party had any thoughts about them but they didn’t reveal anything.
Neither of them spoke for a moment as if they were reminiscing about the days in midsummer.
After a moment, Cen Nan whispered, ‘You like strawberry ice cream, not mango. At the milk tea shop behind the school, you like to drink mint green milk tea the most, but it’s the one that sells out the fastest so I had to buy it for you earlier.”
Liang Muqiu laughed.
He thought that this was probably the point where he and Cen Nan were inseparable.
Before Cen Nan left him, he was an excellent boyfriend, and any memory he remembered was tender and sweet. He never had a moment of regret.
Even after parting, if he was given a choice, he would still jump in with his eyes closed.
Because Liang Muqiu had to wake up early the next day, he didn’t talk to Cen Nan for too long but was already feeling drowsy.
However, as he was talking to Cen Nan, he fell asleep unknowingly.
Cen Nan was reading some materials on the other side when he realised that Liang Muqiu wasn’t responding to him anymore. Looking to the side, he saw that Liang Muchiu had fallen asleep in the video.
Liang Muqiu didn’t sleep on a pillow and was resting on a soft white quilt. His hair was slightly longer and the black hair was like satin, draped over his face as white and glossy as pearls.
He was very delicate with exquisite features. As soon as he fell asleep, he regained his usual aura, as if he was several years younger.
Cen Nan unknowingly put down his work and gazed at Liang Muqiu’s sleeping face.
Even if he didn’t do anything and couldn’t touch him, looking at Liang Muqiu like this, he felt at peace in his heart like a rootless duckweed that finally had a home.
After watching for a while, he regained his composure and continued to do his work, but his video call remained running, allowing Liang Muqiu to accompany him throughout this long night.
But the consequence of not turning it off was that when Liang Muqiu got up the next day, he found that his mobile phone had run out of battery and had to rely on a power bank to last him on the set.
He was still wondering about his new script today.
Wen Yang was wondering if he fell in love with someone at first sight and whether he should pursue them.
Liu Fengtao was wondering how the next scene could be filmed to make it more emotional.
Everyone had something to do and were enjoying themselves.
In the afternoon, a delivery boy came in with an insulated box and delivered a lot of ice cream and iced milk tea.
Liu Fengtao was still asking who was so generous and invited the whole crew to eat.
After counting the items, the delivery boy handed over the order and said casually, “Mr. Cen ordered this. If you are satisfied, please give me a five-star review.”
At this moment, all eyes were focused on Liang Muqiu again.
Liang Muqiu walked over and thanked the delivery boy, pretending not to see Liu Fengtao’s teasing look.
“It’s okay to let Cen Nan bleed a little more,” he said. “Let’s share with everyone.”
Liu Fengtao was already too lazy to be polite.
When he was chasing his girlfriend, he often invited his girlfriend’s best friends to dinner. He never thought that one day, he would be able to enjoy this kind of treatment from his brother.
He took it out and wondered, “Why are all the ice creams strawberry flavoured and all the milk tea is mint green milk tea? There’s no other variety.”
Liang Muqiu had already torn one apart and took a bite. The taste of strawberry and milk, mixed with a hint of coolness, spread in his mouth.
He looked at Liu Fengtao like a fool, took his share and left.
“It’s nice to be able to eat some, don’t talk so much.” He said straightforwardly.
Been kinda busy recently because my graduation is coming and my mum is flying over to attend it. She actually didn’t want to come because the plane ticket is really expensive but I haven’t seen my family since 2022 and I’m going for university in another country that’s even further so I insisted because who knows when I’ll be able to visit my family next time ;-;
So I’ve just been preparing for her arrival and I spent an hour ironing my graduation gown and almost burnt myself in the process lol
Thank You for the new chapter (੭ु ›ω‹ )੭ु⁾⁾♡ Wishing You to have a beautiful graduation and everything the best! ❤
Congratulations, congratulations on your graduation! ✧◝(⁰▿⁰)◜✧ Your family must be very proud.
