The two of them chatted for a while, Ji Qingzhou saw that it was getting late, he had to get up early tomorrow, so he hurriedly hung up the video call and ran to the bathroom to wash up.
After dropping his phone, Chu Cheng went downstairs to look for something to eat, and ran into Chu Xin, who had just returned home, and he went closer, “Have you been drinking?”
“I drank a little at the dinner, not much.”
“Do you want to drink tea?”
Chu Xin didn’t feel the need to answer him, “Why aren’t you asleep?”
“I’m hungry, I want to find something to eat, do you want to eat too?”
Chu Xin didn’t eat much at dinner, he was a little hungry so he agreed.
Chu Cheng rummaged through the refrigerator, found a bag of frozen dumplings, and respectfully handed it to his brother.
Chu Xin: ……
“No wonder you asked me if I wanted eat? So it was here waiting for me?”
“It’s hard for you.” Chu Cheng sincerely said, “You are my most beloved brother.”
Chu Xin couldn’t argue, he took the dumplings and went to the kitchen, while walking he didn’t forget to scold him, “You are just spoiled, you’re so old, yet you can’t even cook dumplings.”
Chu Cheng followed him and justifiably said, “No one at home taught me.”
“I’m teaching you now, come and watch.”
Chu Cheng: “…..oh.”
Chu Xin looked back at him, “You’re in a good mood.”
Chu Cheng looked at him, taking advantage of the late night and that only the two of them were in the kitchen, “I’m moving back in a few days.”
“Why do you want to move back again?”
Chu Cheng felt embarrassed, he thought about it and asked Chu Xin, “Brother, don’t you think that a decent family like us should attach great importance to feelings and righteousness, do things from beginning to end, and should never play with other people’s feelings?”
Chu Xin smiled, ripped open the plastic bag of frozen dumplings and looked at him, “Chu Cheng, do you remember what you said to me before?”
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.
“I remember, I said I have a sense of proportion.”
“This is your proportion?”
“Isn’t it?”
“The relationship between the two of you, didn’t the contract end? “
Chu Cheng felt helpless, “I originally also thought that there was no need to go, but certain discoveries changed things, we can only go with the flow, not against it ah.”
Chu Xin coldly snorted and put the dumplings into the pot where the water was already boiling.
Chu Cheng looked at his cold expression, “You’re not going to stick your neck out, are you?”
“Is it useful for me to fight? As long as you like him, if he runs to the ends of the earth, you’ll just chase him and waste time.”
“That’s good.”
“Good?” Chu Xin squinted at him, “You spoke convincingly before, and now you turned your head and slapped your own face, this is called good?”
“Didn’t you already think I would be like this?” Chu Cheng wasn’t stupid, “otherwise you wouldn’t have reminded me every time, you were afraid to say more to wake me up, but also afraid to say less so I wouldn’t pay attention, you have long felt that we’ll be together, right?”
“But I didn’t think you’d really take that step, weren’t you quite determined at the time? Every time, it was ‘I have a sense of proportion’, and this is your sense of proportion?”
“You also said I am the authority, you are the observer. Besides, I definitely don’t see things as well as you do, you’re a thousand-year-old fox, I’m not as good as you.”
“Did I ask you to compliment me?”
“Of course not, it’s from the bottom of my heart, I can’t help it.”
Chu Xin lazily ignored him, saw the water boiling, picked up a bowl and poured half of the water into the pot.
Then I’ll tell you about it.” Chu Cheng continued.
“Mm.” Chu Xin answered.
“When I discuss with him some day and talk about this matter with mom and dad, you have to help me speak ah.”
“You’re worrying about something that hasn’t even begun to happen yet.”
“Why can’t I worry? We’re already there.”
“Wait until you decide to tell mom and dad before you talk to me.”
Chu Cheng nodded, “Then when the time comes, be nice to him.”
Chu Xin turned his head to look at him, Chu Cheng righteously continued, “After all, you have such a sister-in-law.”
Chu Xin: ……
Chu Xin felt that Chu Cheng was still too young, because of his youth, that was why he thought about all this at the beginning of his relationship, and because of his youth, that was why he impulsively thought that they could always be together. He didn’t think highly of Chu Cheng and Ji Qingzhou, and after he first learned that Chu Cheng had bagged one of his company’s artists, Chu Xin had someone investigate Ji Qingzhou.
Because of this investigation, he knew Ji Qingzhou’s character and purpose for approaching Chu Cheng. Ji Qingzhou came for Chu Cheng’s money from the beginning, and even had an affair with Fang Yaoxuan for a while. On the one hand, he pretended to be lofty, on the other hand, he took Chu Cheng’s money, Chu Xin despised this kind of person. If it weren’t for the protection of Chu Cheng later, he would have buried Ji Qingzhou’s career.
He thought that Chu Cheng was just playing around, so after Chu Cheng let Ji Qingzhou move into his house, out of respect for his brother, he didn’t let anyone investigate things about Ji Qingzhou anymore. But unexpectedly, his brother and Ji Qingzhou had developed to this point. Chu Cheng was an adult, he liked a person, so Chu Xin wouldn’t interfere, but a person like Ji Qingzhou, he simply couldn’t see.
The gap between them was too big, and Ji Qingzhou had that kind of character. The passion for love came up, and the sensibility overwhelmed the rationality, so he wouldn’t care about Ji Qingzhou. Once the enthusiasm faded, and Ji Qingzhou recovered his false lofty character, so many problems that weren’t there would appear. Without his intervention, and without waiting to see his parents, they would quarrel and break up.
Chu Xin added a little more water and silently waited for the dumplings to cook. Chu Cheng stood next to him and watched, asking why he added water twice, Chu Xin patiently answered him, Chu Cheng nodded, next time he could cook dumplings with Ji Qingzhou.
He could more or less tell that Ji Qingzhou liked to cook with him, but he didn’t like to force him, that was why he proposed to eat dumplings every time he wanted to cook with him. Chu Cheng thought, since they were now together, he should also learn to cook, and occasionally he could cook a few dishes
that Ji Qingzhou liked.
This way, he would also be very happy, right?
He began miss Ji Qingzhou. Chu Cheng looked at the dumplings in the pot, and looked at the moonlight outside the window, suddenly thought of a poem he learned when he was a teenager, “At this time, I would like to flow with the moonlight to shine on you”.
And as the moonlight shone on another place, Ji Qingzhou slept well.
The next morning, Chu Cheng went out early, Chu Xin watched him leave, he didn’t speak, he had always been a reliable older brother, in Chu Cheng’s upbringing, he acted as a brother and a friend. Chu Cheng trusted him and would tell him the truth about himself, Chu Xin never said much and wouldn’t tell anyone else. He gave his brother full freedom and support, and only wanted him to live in and freedom as Chu Cheng, and as he expected in general.
When Chu Cheng arrived in Y City feeling a little cold, Xiao Qiao came to pick him up, “The temperature has dropped a lot in the past two days.”
“In this weather, you have to wear a thick jacket.”
Xiao Qiao hurriedly took off his jacket and gave it to him, Chu Cheng waved his hand, “It’s okay, I’m not that afraid of the cold, let’s go.”
Xiao Qiao saw that he didn’t want to, so he put it on again and drove to the set.
When Chu Cheng arrived, Sheng Wenxi was also there, this was the third day he came here, as usual, he sat in the rest area, watching Ji Qingzhou work.
Chu Cheng glanced at him and asked Xiao Qiao, “Why is he here?”
“Director Sheng wanted to ask him to act in a movie, Brother Ji didn’t agree, but director Sheng seems to be quite persistent, and I don’t know why, he hasn’t left, he stayed to see Brother Ji film, he probably wants to see Brother Ji’s acting skills.”
Chu Cheng frowned, he inexplicably felt that Sheng Wenxi was annoying.
He took a step to walk over and when he approached Sheng Wenxi, Sheng Wenxi looked up at him, he wasn’t really surprised to see it was him.
Sheng Wenxi realized that there should be someone behind him when Ji Qingzhou said he didn’t drink that night. It hadn’t been a long time since Ji Qingzhou entered the industry, but it’d been a year. If, as he said, he didn’t drink at the dinner this year, and his agent didn’t mind at all, then this was by no means something that a newcomer without background could do.
After Sheng Wenxi returned to the hotel, he asked his assistant to give him a resume of Ji Qingzhou. After reading this, he discovered that the resources of Ji Qingzhou was actually good. There were popular variety shows, big IP adaptations and movies made by well-known directors. Even for the worst online drama “A Page of Love Poem”, he was also a main actor.
This kind of resources, a newcomer without background couldn’t get it. It didn’t take much effort for Sheng Wenxi to find out who was helping him – Chu Cheng, the second young master of the Chu family and the owner of New Culture.
Sheng Wenxi sighed, one was a rich young master, one was just a debuting star, their relationship was self-evident. Sheng Wenxi didn’t expect that Ji Qingzhou, who looked innocent, was a canary who had been adopted.
He didn’t think Chu Cheng liked Ji Qingzhou, a rich young master like Chu Cheng, and one so shrewd that he was able to successfully save a website that almost collapsed and rely on it to develop a cultural industry chain and become the dominant player in the industry. Such a person, how would he like an ordinary star like Ji Qingzhou. Not to mention, one of the industries of the Chu family was the entertainment company, what kind of beauty hadn’t he seen for him to decide on Ji Qingzhou.
For some reason, Sheng Wenxi felt sorry for Ji Qingzhou.
He thought Ji Qingzhou was clean, as spotless as his appearance, but it wasn’t, but he felt Ji Qingzhou should be. His eyes were very clear, his smile was very bright, his acting skills were very agile, he was a diamond in the rough, a little carving and he could have a better future. Such a person, there was no need to be confined in a cage, he deserved to have his own sky.
In the face of such thoughts, Sheng Wenxi had some dislike for Chu Cheng before he met him, and now that he’d seen him, he just glanced at him and didn’t bother to pay attention.
Chu Cheng felt he was really arrogant, so he didn’t pay attention to him either, he only concentrated on waiting for Ji Qingzhou. It didn’t take long for Ji Qingzhou to finish filming, seeing there, he couldn’t suppress his joy and ran to him.
“Why are you wearing such thin clothes?” Ji Qingzhou exclaimed after seeing that he was only wearing a thin jacket, “Is it cold? Let me give you a jacket.”
He he finished, he turned his head and said to Xiao Qiao, “I’ll go back first, call me if you need anything.”
“Okay.” Xiao Qiao answered.
Ji Qingzhou pulled up Chu Cheng and walked in the direction of the hotel.
Sheng Wenxi was a little surprised to see him go like this. He usually went to Ji Qingzhou and would say hello and talk to him. Why did he go like this today? He was still sitting in a chair, and he left without saying hello? ! Sheng Wenxi felt depressed.
Ji Qingzhou woke up this morning and had been thinking about Chu Cheng, every time the director shouted “cut”, he would turn his head to look at his rest area, hoping to see him, but never did. Of course he knew that Chu Cheng wouldn’t arrive so early, but he couldn’t hold back, always hoping to see him in the next second. This time, after seeing him, his heart was full of satisfaction, taking advantage of the surrounding and his long sleeves, he secretly held Chu Cheng’s hand, and lowered his head as he gently smiled.
Chu Cheng felt his small action, and thought he was quite cute, he quietly increased his strength, and held his hand tight. The two people playfully tightened their grip, and finally they couldn’t help but look at each other and laugh.
“Ah,” Ji Qingzhou suddenly stopped laughing, he finally remembered, “just now, Director Sheng was sitting over there? I forgot to say hello to him.”

Big Brother Chu is worrying too much. I really want to see how our little Ji Qingzhou shows him What his True character is.
Thanks for the chapter!
I already know where this is going..
Saaame. I’m annoyed by it lmao
I actually find SWQ quite cute. He could become good friends with JQZ. All he needs to do is write a new script that JQZ would be willing to act in.
😳😳
I wonder how JQZ is gonna reverse his image that CX has of him, cos we all know that CX’s impression of him was right before he transmigrated. I’m quite int to see.
