If You Don’t Fall in Love, You’ll DieCh90 - A Married Son is Like Spilt Water.

Editor: Amaris


Ye Chen felt really ashamed. He said, “H…How could that be…” Xc9KlH

Once he uttered them out, Gu Xi felt that he was a fool for blurting out toxic words out of habit. He even responded to his own words, that was truly too stupid of him.

Gu Xi didn’t feel like ridiculing Ye Chen anymore. He went inside the room and looked around. “Where’s Ren Jing?”

Ye Chen replied, “He has gone to work!”

Gu Xi understood instantly. “You slept until now?” 5LgDyK

Ye Chen scratched his head in embarrassment.

Gu Xi felt resentful towards Ye Chen for failing to meet his expectations. “You didn’t let him do as he pleases in the early morning, did you?”

Ye Chen gave a hollow laugh. “I didn’t…” In fact, it was him who had seduced Ren Jing.

Gu Xi still felt resentful. “I thought Ren Jing is a reasonable person, but turns out he’s the inconsiderate one!”

His words had really accused Ren Jing wrongly. Ye Chen couldn’t help but say, “He’s always very thoughtful.”

Gu Xi glanced at him. “Are you saying that on his behalf?”

Ye Chen, “…” nD41iG

Gu Xi was enraged. “A married son is like spilt water. The ancestors’ words truly didn’t deceive me!”

Ye Chen knew that he was in the wrong, but Gu Xi’s words just now were roasting him a bit too much. He said in a low voice, “That’s not really what the ancestors had said.”

Gu Xi poked him on his back.

Ye Chen instantly exclaimed in pain. His back felt so sore he nearly collapsed.

Gu Xi snorted. “You’re still young and ignorant. You’ll regret it when you’re old.”

As one who had been through a lot of experiences, his words were really…too hard to explain in a few words. 47zqEM

Ye Chen would definitely make fun of him if Gu Xi and Shen Jiaze had been together again, but their current status was still unknown so he didn’t dare to say much.

Gu Xi simply came to check on him. After he drank the throat-soothing tea, he clicked his tongue. “Your Ren Jing is really devoted.”

Devoted… 

Ye Chen suddenly felt that his words were particularly interesting. He hurriedly stated, “He truly is. He could cook porridge and prepare dishes, he’s proficient in everything. He’s also thoughtful and considerate, I only need to stretch out my hand and he would immediately know what I want to do…” KzVqRx

Ye Chen was startled. A warm feeling engulfed his heart in a split second.

Gu Xi…felt happy for him.

If he was an ordinary friend, he would probably get tired of Ye Chen for being long-winded and constantly spreading sweetness all over. However, Gu Xi who wholeheartedly wished the best for him felt delighted instead. Ye Chen’s happiness would be ‘contagious’ for him, because he would also feel happy when the person he cared about was happy.

Gu Xi noticed Ye Chen’s sight on him. He hurriedly adjusted the expression on his face to show a ‘disdainful’ look, then said, “Alright, alright, your Ren Jing is amazing. You’ve obtained a treasure, congratulations.”

This tone of speaking was undoubtedly Gu Xi’s, but Ye Chen wasn’t angry at all. He felt very warm inside his heart instead.

His parents, lover, and friends…Ye Chen could only wish that everything could remain like this for all of his life.

Ye Chen asked Gu Xi, “Let’s have dinner together?” VRHXLN

Gu Xi replied, “No.” Who even wants to be an unwanted third guest!?

After pondering for a moment, Ye Chen eventually asked, “Is Shen Jiaze…still driving you around?”

Gu Xi, “Who even needs him?”

Ye Chen hesitated for a while before asking, “Are you two…” QfsDJE

Gu Xi wasn’t Ye Chen, he always had his own strong views. He raised his hand and said, “No need to worry about nothing. You should think about the movie shooting.”

Seeing that Gu Xi didn’t want to talk about it, Ye Chen immediately changed the topic, “Alright, I’ll definitely go to the shooting site to report tomorrow.”

Gu Xi didn’t stay for long, he had his hands full after all. DjTyQz

Among the three best friends, even though Yu Xingzhe ran the largest number of businesses with great successes, Gu Xi was actually the one who was the most dedicated to his work.

No need to talk about Ye Chen, he was the only one with zero ambition.

In the first place, most of Yu Xingzhe’s ‘accomplishments’ were established by SUN.

On the other hand, Gu Xi had relied on himself to achieve success. He had put in a lot of hard work in order to achieve great success at such a young age. 95U8FG

 

Not long after Gu Xi left, Ren Jing returned.

Ye Chen chatted with him for a while, then the two went to have a meal.

They didn’t do anything tonight, of course… If they did, Brother Chen would go on a strike soon! ns5u0H

The next day early in the morning, Ye Chen’s body had mostly recovered, so he shouldn’t have any problem going to the shooting site.

They went to the shooting site together. When Director Li saw Ye Chen, it was like he had seen his own son, being deeply concerned for him.

After showing his concern for Ye Chen, Director Li was afraid that Ren Jing would be ‘jealous’, thus he said to Ren Jing, “I’m a bit worried since A Chen just recovered.”

Everyone present, “…” Director Li, you’re thinking too much. Ren Jing could feel jealous, but not this way. XyrVit

 

The part they would shoot today was an interesting one. It was the next morning after the two main leads had sexual relations.

When Zhan Chen woke up, his body ached a lot and he felt really exhausted, but he felt somewhat happy. He opened his eyes and looked around, but all that he could see was the cold hotel room.

Nobody was here… Yan Han had already left. RJMx60

Zhan Chen was dead drunk yesterday, thus all that he remembered was that he had done it with Yan Han, he completely forgot the rest of it.

But having done it with Yan Han was enough to make Zhan Chen happy.

Story translated by Chrysanthemum Garden.

If Yan Han wasn’t interested in him, how could they do such things?

Therefore, even though his body hurt and he was feeling tired, Zhan Chen felt very happy. He wanted to immediately go to find Yan Han. suMraw

 

This part would be Ye Chen’s monodrama. In fact, it would put his acting skills to the test because no one would guide him into the mood.

Fortunately…

Ye Chen happened to have experienced it, so he knew the feeling of waking up in the morning after doing it. He thought about it a little and promptly recreated the feeling. IBdnig

Feeling painful and tired? Definitely!

Feeling happy? Without a doubt!

Ye Chen’s acting was so natural that Director Li kept on clapping his hands and applauded him. Gu Xi, who knew the truth, inexplicably felt his cheeks grew hot after seeing his acting. This movie is truly a freaking ‘documentary’, huh!

Ren Jing felt a bit regretful for acting in this movie. He didn’t want to let anyone see Ye Chen with this look. 1l2pbZ

 

When Ye Chen was done with his part, Director Li told him seriously, “Later, you’ll act together with Ren Jing. You’ll meet him at school, call out to him, and then you’ll…”

Hearing Director Li explaining the scene in detail, Ye Chen suddenly felt diffident. “I…I’ll fall apart, right?”

Director Li patted his shoulder. “This intense emotion is the easiest to act, you definitely won’t have any problem acting it out.” 3FZOL

True enough, for most actors, this kind of scene would be easier to express instead.

Zhan Chen came across Yan Han at school. He called out to him in a low voice, “Teacher…”

Yan Han suddenly turned his head around. He stared at Zhan Chen and asked, “Why did you come again?”

Hearing his question, Zhan Chen was at a loss. However, he was still feeling happy and asked, “Would you like to have dinner together?” xcyfrn

 

It was at this moment that Zhan Chen’s heart truly felt like it was picked up, dropped, and smashed into pieces by Yan Han.

Yan Han, “I have kept my promise and done it with you. Why did you come to find me again?”

Zhan Chen was in a daze. “Wh-what do you mean?” VLXNQc

Yan Han’s voice was extremely cold when he said, “You don’t even remember your own words?”

Zhan Chen went pale. “I…I…”

Yan Han stared at him with an expressionless face. “I’m engaged and will get married soon. Can you stop pestering me?”

“Engaged?” Zhan Chen suddenly opened his eyes wide. “You…You’re engaged?” GMzBa2

Yan Han replied, “Yes.”

It was just a single word, yet it was enough to push Zhan Chen into the abyss.

 

After reading the script, Ye Chen was confused. N5fAJI

He glanced at Ren Jing and asked for his help. “How should I act out this part?”

Being at a loss, in a daze, looking pale, confused, and in the end…falling apart!

Brother Chen probably needed to search the dictionary for the meaning of these words.

Ren Jing began to mindlessly pamper his ‘wife’ again. “Why don’t we change the script?” 1A3BcN

Ye Chen, “…”

Movie King Ren said earnestly, “Basically, Yan Han wasn’t actually engaged, he just said it to deliberately provoke Zhan Chen. It would be better for them to talk now instead of finding the truth only when they meet again four years later. They like each other after all, so they should face the difficulties together. What’s the use of constantly avoiding each other like this?”

What you said is reasonable! Well, if they changed the script according to what Movie King Ren said, did they even need to keep shooting the movie!?

Fortunately, Ye Chen knew his own mind and didn’t want to be ‘spoiled’ this time. K5BoSz

He said, “I’ll try it!”

Brother Chen folded his hand into a fist and said, “I feel like my acting skills could still be improved.”

Who even gave Ye Chen such confidence? It was no other but Director Li!


The author has something to say: 48lWGZ

Hahaha, in a sense, Director Li is a talent scout!

Translator's Note

Something like these? 1 / 2

Translator's Note

Gu Xi said this because, just like author, he changed the proverb (?) so that it become more suitable (?) lol. Originally, the proverb should be “a married daughter is like spilt water”, which existed (?) because in the past (I think some parts of it still applies now, though only a very very traditional (?) family will do so), when a daughter has gotten married, she has become a part of her husband’s family, and no longer a member of her family. Her surname will also change into her husband’s. Which is why the daughter is compared with spilt water—something that can’t be retrieved anymore.

In any caseeee, yeah Gu Xi changed the “daughter” part into “son” because yeahhh, Ye Chen is his “son” LOL, and he probably felt like a father whose “son” has just gotten married lmao~

  1. I really like that kind of story. A scum gong who hurt the shou emotionally and end up regretting it and try to win him back.

    Thank you for the new ch🤍

  2. Friends being happy for their friends’ happiness is simply the best friendship ever! 😍 I love it when people are happy for others’ success or something good happening to them.
