Tang Zhou’s arms hugged him tightly, and his tears flowed endlessly. In no time, Fu Shen’s neck and collar were wet.
His right hand rested on Tang Zhou’s slightly trembling shoulders, he didn’t know how to say comforting words, and could only silently let the young man vent.
A few moments later, the alcohol kicked in.
Tang Zhou was curled up in Fu Shen’s arms, his body completely relaxed. His light breath brushed against Fu Shen’s collarbone, causing a slight itch.
He had actually fallen asleep crying.
Fu Shen looked down at him and could only see a clump of black hair and a small, fair ear.
He carefully held the back of his neck, making him lie flat on the bed. This position put him very close to Tang Zhou, and he could almost touch his delicate skin.
Fu Shen took a deep breath and pulled his hand out, took a wet tissue and gently wiped away the tears from Tang Zhou’s face. When he reached his lips, he paused for a moment and forced himself to look away.
To prevent Tang Zhou’s eyes from swelling like peaches the next day, Fu Shen went to his own bedroom to get a steam eye mask and put it on him.
Steam eye masks can release heat, relieve eye fatigue, and help to get rid of swelling.
The orange wall lamp in the bedroom was soft and gentle, and the light from the lampshade shone on Tang Zhou’s face, casting shadows on his face and a hazy and beautiful glow.
The eye mask covered his eyes, so all that could be seen was his delicate nose and soft, rosy lips.
He was sleeping very quietly, not making a single sound.
Fu Shen’s heart wall, which had been cold and hard all this time, suddenly cracked open a gap, and tenderness flooded in.
He didn’t know when it started, but his eyes can’t help but always follow this person.
He doesn’t know what happened tonight that made the young man cry so sadly.
Tang Zhou, however, slept very soundly that night. He also had a dream.
In his dream, he was crying uncontrollably while holding a teddy bear. Then a bigger bear came running over and told him that the teddy bear would suffocate. After that, it mercilessly snatched the bear from his hands, making a shameless self-recommendation.
When he woke up, it was pitch black in front of his eyes. Tang Zhou was puzzled, wondering in his heart if it hadn’t been dawn yet?
But then light came in through the cracks.
He calmed down and reached up to touch his eyes. It turned out that something was covering them.
He took it off and looked at it. A steam eye mask?
Did Fu Shen put it on him?
His phone rang at an inopportune time. Tang Zhou looked around, but it wasn’t on the nightstand.
The vibration came from his thigh, and Tang Zhou sighed in resignation as he realized it. He had actually fallen asleep in his jeans last night!
He took out his phone. It was Ai Mo.
“Boss, the script has been revised! Are you free today? I can come over anytime!”
The young man’s voice was filled with joy.
Tang Zhou really didn’t have anything to do today, so he said, “Okay, come over.”
After hanging up, Tang Zhou thought of his cooperation partner, Lu Ye, and called him.
The phone rang twice before Lu Ye finally picked up.
“Tang Zhou, what’s up?” His voice sounded a little tired, but was different from usual, sounding more mature than before.
Tang Zhou got up and headed to the bathroom. “How’s Auntie Sheng?”

After hanging up, Tang Zhou continued brushing his teeth and looked at himself in the mirror. However, several scenes suddenly flashed through his mind, forcing him to stop brushing his teeth as he stood there in a daze.
He wasn’t dreaming! Everything that happened last night was real!
He had actually cried in front of Fu Shen!
Even Tang Shen, who never swears, couldn’t help but unleash different kinds of curses in his heart.
He had to move out! Move out as soon as possible!
Tang Zhou finished washing up, his face still pale, and came to the living room.
He was the only one in the house, since Fu Shen should be in class right now. It was a good thing Fu Shen wasn’t there. Otherwise, he didn’t know how he’d face him.
There was a sticky note on the table.
【There are steamed buns in the kitchen. They are filled with beef.】
The penmanship was sharp and the handwriting was neat and tidy. It was Fu Shen’s style.
Tang Zhou’s lips curled slightly. He really did like beef-filled buns the most.
It had to be said that with Fu Shen around, there was no need for him to worry about breakfast every day. And as a kitchen idiot, Tang Zhou couldn’t even cook noodles well.
He suppressed the unexplainable emotions in his heart and suppressed the curve of his lips. No matter how good Fu Shen’s cooking skills were, he was moving out!
After ferociously devouring two fragrant buns, Tang Zhou took a shower and changed his clothes. Just then, Ai Mo rang the doorbell excitedly.
When he saw Tang Zhou, he didn’t waste any words and pushed the notebook into Tang Zhou’s hands. “Take a look!”
In the face of such a passionate Ai Mo, Tang Zhou’s mood loosened up a bit, He sat down on the sofa and carefully read through it.
The revised script wasn’t much different from what he remembered, and if they were more meticulous in the filming, they’d definitely be able to create a box office myth like in his dreams.
Just after reading the script, Lu Ye and Qiao Yuan arrived.
Compared to the last time, Qiao Yuan’s complexion was much better. When he saw Tang Zhou, he smiled a little, but it wasn’t as bright as before. Instead, it had a solemn hint.
Lu Ye looked like he had also matured a bit. He already had the aura of Mr. Lu from his dreams.
Tang Zhou nodded and said, “Sit down. Take a look at the script first and then we can talk.”
The first page of the script had the title.
Lu Ye took a glance at it and his eyebrows twitched. He looked at Tang Zhou with confusion.
This title didn’t look reliable.
He hasn’t watched many movies, but it doesn’t hinder him from knowing that famous movies all had very literary names.
“I’m Not a Hero”, what the hell is this kind of name?
Even before he had read it, Lu Ye’s initial impression wasn’t good. If it weren’t for Tang Zhou, he probably wouldn’t even want to flip through it.
Knowing each other for so many years, Tang Zhou knew what he was thinking with just one glance.
He has matured a bit, but the problem of arrogance remains unchanged.
“Let’s see it after you’ve finished reading it.”
Qiao Yuan himself was a lively person by nature, so upon seeing this sand sculpture-like.name, he became interested, so he politely asked Ai Mo, “Can I read it?”
Ai Mo nodded with a smile. “Of course!”
He could tell that Qiao Yuan and Boss Lu had a close relationship, especially in the way Boss Lu’s eyes look when he sees Qiao Yuan. Tsk. Tsk.
If I refuse, I guess Mr. Lu will just throw down the script and not give me any face at all.
Lu Ye and Qiao Yuan were leaning together, reading the script, Ai Mo had nothing to do, so he came over to Tang Zhou and said, “Boss, do you have any suggestions for modifications?”
Generally speaking, screenwriters don’t like other people telling them how to write their own scripts, but the suggestions Tang Zhou gave him last time were very helpful. He trusted Tang Zhou very much.
The young man had a handsome appearance, and his messy hair was neatly trimmed, making him look fresh and clean. His eyes no longer had the despair they had at the riverside, but instead they were filled with tenacity.
Tang Zhou was glad that he had gone to the riverside that night. Otherwise, such an excellent script would have taken a few more years to appear.
He also wondered what kind of life Ai Mo had lived in those few years in his dream.
Or maybe, the person presenting the script back then wasn’t Ai Mo himself.
“It’s been revised very well. There are no—”
“Hahahahaha.” Qiao Yuan couldn’t hold back and burst out laughing, then quickly covered his mouth.
He apologetically looked at Tang Zhou, who had been interrupted, and then glued himself to the script again.
Lu Ye also thought the script was good, but his mind was more on Qiao Yuan. The script was originally only good, but after seeing Qiao Yuanbeing amused and laughing, the script’s importance suddenly shot up to a higher level.
He immediately decided. It had to be filmed!
Perhaps it was because of the added filter, but Lu Ye found it more and more interesting as he read, and even couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
Qiao Yuan was even more exaggerated, falling directly into Lu Ye’s arms as he bursted out laughing. Lu Ye gently embraced him, his face showing obvious joy.
Seeing the popularity of his creative achievements, Ai Mo couldn’t help but be overjoyed, and the corners of his mouth never went down.
Tang Zhou, however, was stunned.
Seeing Lu Ye and Qiao Yuan laughing together, the image of himself leaning on Fu Shen’s neck from last night suddenly flashed in his mind.
He wet Fu Shen’s collarbone, and he also wet Fu Shen’s collar.
Then… he fell asleep.
He didn’t understand.
Why, after adjusting his emotions outside, did tears well up again as soon as he stepped inside his place?
Why did the sense of grievance in his heart amplify infinitely when he saw Fu Shen’s smile?
Why did he feel stable and comforted when he smelled the faint fragrance on Fu Shen’s body?
He was a bit scared.
Tang Zhou reached out and pressed on his warm chest, regained his composure, and then said lightly, “The script doesn’t need any more changes.”
Ai Mo was like a little chicken that pecked at the rice, “Mm-hmm!”
After reading the script, Lu Ye, without any hesitation, decided to collaborate with them.
There was still a hint of a smile in his eyes, “It’s very interesting; it should turn out very good when we start filming.”
Even the arrogant Young Master Lu gave such a high evaluation, so it is clear that this movie is a sure hit.
Qiao Yuan also nodded in agreement. “It’s really good! Can I go to the set to see the movie when it starts filming?”
Lu Ye rubbed his head. “I’ll go with you.”
He hadn’t thought about what he wanted to do after graduation, but now he has a goal. Why not take this film as his first job after graduation?
After he and Tang Zhou carefully discussed the details of the collaboration and finalized the contract, it was already lunchtime.
“Let’s go out to eat together,” Lu Ye suggested. “I’ll treat you all today.”
The other three had no reason to refuse.
Lu Ye chose the Juxiang Pavilion, the one they often went to.
“After graduation, we’ll have even less time to gather together to eat.” Lu Ye sighed after ordering the food, “This is probably the last time we’ll come to Juxiang Pavilion.”
Qiao Yuan also felt a bit sentimental, “It’ll be just me from now on.”
Ai Mo, with a similar temperament to Qiao Yuan, quickly got friendly and jokingly said, “Anyway, Boss Tang lives nearby, so there will still be plenty of opportunities.”
Tang Zhou: “I’m moving out.”
“Moving where?” Lu Ye asked.
Tapping his index finger lightly on the side of his cup, Tang Zhou lowered his eyes and said, “North District.”
Lu Ye was surprised. “So far away?”
“Hmm.”
In Tang Zhou’s opinion, the North District was the farthest from Jiang University and was not that close to his family either, which was just fine with him.
“Is Zhou Ge moving after graduation?” Qiao Yuan’s eyes widened slightly.
Tang Zhou shook his head. “I’m planning to move today.”
In any case, the house in the North District was fully equipped, and he didn’t have much to bring. It’d be easy to drive there.
“So soon?” Lu Ye frowned. “You still have to go back to school for your thesis defense and the graduation ceremony. Won’t it be a hassle to go back and forth?”
Tang Zhou was about to speak when Qiao Yuan said, “Ye Ge has a basketball game the day after tomorrow. I was originally going to ask you if you wanted to go see it together, but you’ve already moved that far away by then, so forget it.”
Basketball game?
Tang Zhou searched in his memories. It seemed that Lu Ye had indeed participated in a basketball game before graduation, and he had also invited Tang Zhou to go, but at that time, Tang Zhou was already involved in the affairs of the Tang family business and did not have any extra time to spare, so he was unable to go.
Now that he had the time, it would be a shame if he didn’t go to see it.
He asked, “You’ve already quit the basketball club, yet you’re still participating in the tournament?”
“I had no choice. Those little brats in the basketball club couldn’t keep up and it was difficult for them to deal with the Institute of Technology’s team, so they came to me crying, and I couldn’t just say no,” Lu Ye said as he looked frustrated. “I can’t let Jiangda lose to the Institute of Technology before I graduate.”
Tang Zhou expressed his understanding, “That’s fine, I’ll move after your game is over.”
Otherwise, it would be quite tiring to go back and forth for two days.
