“I will.” Ji Qingzhou thought about it.
“Then look at the menu and see what you like.”
“OK.”
After the meal, Chu Cheng took Ji Qingzhou and left first. He had something to do in the company, so he took Ji Qingzhou home first and told him, “I may not come back for dinner in the evening. You don’t have to wait for me. If I come back, I’ll text you.”
“Ok.”
“Going.” Chu Cheng said and drove away.
Ji Qingzhou returned to Chu Cheng’s room and began to read the script.
At the end of the month, the injury on Ji Qingzhou’s face had already healed. Chu Cheng asked him, “How long do you need to shoot?”
“A month.” Ji Qingzhou said, “There aren’t many scenes and it won’t take long.”
“Where will the location be?”
“X University’s new campus is over there because we want to use the view of the campus.”
“That’s not too close.” Chu Cheng sighed with emotion, “It takes nearly two hours to drive back from there.”
“So I’ll stay in the hotel with the cast, and I won’t come back this month.”
“All right.” Chu Cheng had no problem. “I’ll visit you when I have time.”
“Ok.”
“Wait a moment,” Chu Cheng looked at him. “I see you are like this now. You don’t have any nostalgia. You’re going to fly in the sky and catch fishes in the sea?”
Ji Qingzhou looked at him, thought for a moment and asked, “Do you want to hold hands with me and see tears in my eyes?”
After he finished asking, he put down his things and stretched out his hands. “Do you want to hold hands?”
Chu Cheng: “…… Now you’re with me. You are really getting less and less formal.”
Ji Qingzhou looked at him, thinking that it would take him a month to finish shooting. The two men had agreed that the step-by-step process would be gradual. He also felt that it was unfair to Chu Cheng. He stretched out his hand to pull Chu Cheng’s hand, “I’ll miss you.”
“What’s the use of thinking of me?”
“When I’m not filming, I’ll video call you.”
“So I can see and eat you?”
“Of course not.” Ji Qingzhou smiled helplessly, “What do you say?”
“Or shall we drive before you leave?” Chu Cheng suggested.
Ji Qingzhou: …
“What do you think?”

Chu Cheng took his hand instead, teasing, “It’s okay. As long as you like, I’ll call Zhou Chengfeng and ask him to wait for you for a few more hours.”
“Maybe next time.” Ji Qingzhou insisted.
“Next time, next time, how many more times.” Chu Cheng looked at him.
“I can’t fly out of your Mountain anyway.” Ji Qingzhou shook his hand. “There will be some on the road, there will be some racing, there will be everything. Don’t worry.”
Chu Cheng looked at his clever look and felt that he was still a little annoying. “All right, you pack up and I’ll take you down later.”
Ji Qingzhou nodded and took back his hand to continue packing.
Zhou Chengfeng silently turned his head when he saw Chu Cheng and Ji Qingzhou appear together. However, Chu Cheng didn’t understand his good intentions at all and knocked on the window.
“Boss Chu.” Zhou Chengfeng politely greeted him.
Chu Cheng looked around at the people in the car, Zhou Chengfeng, a driver and an assistant, “Just the three of you?” He was a little curious. “I think Yu Anyi has to have at least six or seven people around her for a movie?”
“Miss Yu is a popular actress. Naturally she has more people around her. Ji Qingzhou is not famous yet so there are not so many people. “
Chu Cheng nodded, “Alright. You are his agent, take care of him when you go out and don’t let him be bullied. If you have any trouble, call me directly. “
Zhou Chengfeng listened to his words, he had a headache, the two couldn’t really be lovers, he thought of his boss Chu Xin and felt a burst of tiredness. The less he knew the better.
“OK.” Zhou Chengfeng replied.
Chu Cheng looked back at Ji Qingzhou. “All right, go ahead and take good care of yourself.”
Ji Qingzhou felt like Chu Cheng was a parent who was sending his child to school. He had to tell his acquaintances before he left, lest his child be bullied outside. He also thought of how he got along ,,with Chu Cheng these days. He had no reason to give up.
Ji Qingzhou felt very lucky actually. The day he transmigrated into the novel, he chose Chu Cheng only as a helpless choice- He didn’t want to get involved with Fang Yaoxuan. He owed Chu Cheng money, and he had no choice but to continue this money transaction instead. However, Chu Cheng was actually a very good person.
At least, in the limited time, he had been very kind to him.
“Then I’ll go.” He said.
Chu Cheng nodded, “Take good care of yourself and call me if you have something.”
“Mmm.” Ji Qingzhou remembered what he had just said, “I’ll video call you when I have time.”
“Just remember.”
Ji Qingzhou looked at him and thought, suddenly he stepped forward, stretched out his hands and hugged him, Chu Cheng was stunned and asked him, “What’s the matter?”
“Nothing,” Ji Qingzhou whispered, “I’m not going to be back for a while, so this is the last step for now.”
Chu Cheng smiled. “I thought you could not tolerate me.
That was one thing, Ji Qingzhou thought, but he didn’t say it. He smiled slightly. “Then I’ll go, take care of yourself. I’ll wait for you to visit.”
Chu Cheng nodded, “Go.”
Ji Qingzhou got on the nanny van, waved and closed the door.
Chu Cheng watched him leave, turned to his car and drove to the company.
In the quiet van, Ji Qingzhou took one look at the buzz cut youth he did not know and looked at Zhou Chengfeng puzzled.
Zhou Chengfeng said, “This is your assistant, Xiao Qian.”
He turned to Xiao Qian, “You will follow Ji Qingzhou in the future. Be smart and learn more if you don’t understand.”
Xiao Qian nodded frantically, “I understand.”
“Just understand.” Zhou Chengfeng looked at Ji Qingzhou. “You can ask Xiao Qian to help you do anything. He will stay with you and take care of you while I am away.”
“OK.”
“Have you memorized your lines?” Zhou Chengfeng asked.
“I know it by heart and I understand the character.” Ji Qingzhou replied.
Zhou Chengfeng was satisfied. “That’s good, perform well.”
“Rest assured.” Ji Qingzhou smiled.
Ji Qingzhou’s script this time was a campus idol drama adapted from a youth novel. He played Male lead No. 3 Zhuang Xiangyang and was a senior and secret admirer of female lead Wei Wei Jiang. This character’s part was not much, but the character set up was very good, the campus male god, he was gentle and he was also a student bully. Zhou Chengfeng also helped Ji Qingzhou to get this role because he had a crush on this person.
He took a look at Ji Qingzhou quietly. Ji Qingzhou was looking at the script with his head down. His eyes were picturesque, with a hint of coldness and alienation. As long as he had a good role, Zhou Chengfeng believed that he would be famous.
After getting off the nanny van, Ji Qingzhou followed Zhou Chengfeng to meet people. After attending the start-up ceremony, he was ready to film. Although it was an intellectual property adaptation, because the previous adaptation was not too popular and the initial orientation was an online play, the configuration of the play was not very good. Zhou Ling, a third-tier actress, played the female lead Wei Wei Jiang, while Chen Jiyuan, a second-tier actor, played the male lead Fei. Both of them were not big and they didn’t have many fans, but naturally they were much bigger than Ji Qingzhou with his 0 fans.
Campus idol dramas were one of the most popular types of drama. It didn’t need much investment, and they didn’t need to go to a movie and television base. It could be done by choosing a school, a residential area and a few other places. On the first day of entering the group, Ji Qingzhou first took pictures for the publicity posters. He was good-looking, even if he only wore ordinary school uniform and gave a gentle smile, it was enough to make the photographer feel amazed.
The photographer showed him the photos taken. Ji Qingzhou thought it was not bad. He took a picture with his mobile phone and asked him, “Will it be sent today?”
“Of course not, there is a sequence of official announcements. First the male and female leads, then the second male and female leads, then you.”
Ji Qingzhou nodded, “That’s alright.”
“I need to edit before I send it out. Don’t worry.” The photographer said gently.
“Thank you for your hard work.”
“It should be so.” The photographer looked at the photos in the camera and felt a little sorry. He obviously looked much better than the male lead, but he was only able to play a supporting role in this drama. It was really luck.
He didn’t say anything else, letting Ji Qingzhou go back first, and Ji Qingzhou didn’t have much to say, so he went back to wait.
That night, Ji Qingzhou sent Chu Cheng the official publicity photo taken from his mobile phone and reported to him, “Today, I did my photoshoot. Is it nice?”
Chu Cheng didn’t reply to him until a long time later, “It’s pretty good, but it’s a bit blurry, isn’t it high definition?”
“No, this is what I took with my mobile phone, the high definition version hasn’t been released yet. However, it should be released in two days, and it will be sent to you. “
“Well. Are you acting now? “
“Next,” Ji Qingzhou thought for a moment, “To be exact, it’s not my turn to shoot today. First, they have to closely shoot the male and female leads. We, the supporting actors, have no turn.”
“Then you should rest first,” Chu Cheng said. “I’ve just finished my work here, and I’m going home. I’ll talk to you when I get home.”
Ji Qingzhou guessed that he should be driving, and hurriedly said, “Well, be careful on the road, bye-bye.”
Chu Cheng did not speak again.
Ji Qingzhou took advantage of this time to take a bath. When he came out of the bath, he read the scenes he had to shoot in recent days several times, then Chu Cheng called.
“Are you home?”
“Mmm.”
“Have you eaten yet?” Ji Qingzhou asked him.
“Eaten, how was your day? Did anyone bully you? “
Ji Qingzhou listened to his question and felt that Chu Cheng really regarded him as a child and was even worried about him being bullied by others. Wasn’t that what parents were worried about when their child was a student?
“No,” he said, “Don’t worry, Dad.”
Chu Cheng was suddenly called father by him and choked for a moment. “Your wings have grown hard. Now you dare to tease your father because you are not in front of me?”
“Of course not,” said Ji Qingzhou with a smile, “Just expressing my respect for you.”
“Dad doesn’t need your respect. Dad just needs you to applaud.”
Ji Qingzhou: “……”
“Look at you, you don’t say much yet you dare tease me,” Chu Cheng said with a smile. “Don’t dig a hole and bury yourself one day.”
Ji Qingzhou pouted, no way, the power of his life and death was in the hands of the other, he could only admit it.
“Why won’t you talk?” Chu Cheng asked him, “Am I wrong?”
“No, I’m reviewing myself.”
“Do you still review yourself?”
“Of course I do. I am a very good reviewer.”
“You have the courage to review and never repent?”
Ji Qingzhou was speechless. “Dad, if you keep talking like this, you’ll kill the mood.”
“Why else am I chatting? I just want to tease you.” Chu Cheng laughed.
Ji Qingzhou was suddenly stunned by him and shut his mouth in an instant, but he didn’t know how to answer.
But Chu Cheng was still over there, sighing with emotion, “The wind is strong, the ape is howling, my heart is broken without you in my bed.”
Ji Qingzhou: …
With his red ears, Ji Qingzhou silently bowed his head.
Chu Cheng is freaking hilarious
