Chapter 106 Unbuckle the Belt "You... put it back on yourself."...

He Yan was stunned for several seconds, his heart beating like a drum.

Putting aside other factors, Zhu Shengting did it.

He is the youngest winner of the Best Director Award at the Academy Awards and the first Chinese director to win two highly prestigious awards at the Berlin Film Festival: Best Original Screenplay and Best Cinematography.

In this field, Zhu Shengting has achieved the highest level within his capabilities and does not need his approval at all.

But now this person said that his original wish was just to be able to stand by his side again.

He Yan turned his head and looked at the valley in the distance, watching the sun slowly setting. Through the clouds, he saw a few birds flying across the sky and then disappearing into the mountains and forests.

"I hope... it's not too late now." Zhu Shengting added.

After a few minutes, the sun was about to disappear completely.

He Yan then rolled up the car window again. He didn't respond to Zhu Shengting's question, but started the car again. "Hold on tight, let's go."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Shengting sat down obediently and glanced at He Yan's silent profile.

After returning to the villa, everyone was exhausted. Racing is a technical job after all, so everyone went back to their rooms to rest.

He Yan came out of the bathroom after taking a shower and saw Yuan Xingliang sitting on the carpet with a lot of Lego parts scattered around him. He looked at the pattern on the instruction manual and the finished product looked like a tree.

"I don't think I've seen you playing with Lego before. Is it your hobby?" He Yan walked over and sat on the single sofa.

Yuan Xingliang turned around and smiled shyly, "It's not really my hobby, it's..."

He fiddled with the Lego parts and felt a little embarrassed to speak.

He Yan understood, "Does Producer Tan like it?"

"Yeah," Yuan Xingliang nodded, explaining while fiddling with the Lego sets with his hands, "It's his birthday in a few days. He always gave me thoughtful gifts on my birthday in the past, but since he has everything he needs, I sometimes don't know what to get him. He likes collecting all kinds of Lego sets, so every year I've given him the Lego sets I built myself."

"Brother Yan," Yuan Xingliang hesitated again, "Don't you think... wouldn't it be boring? It's the same thing every year."

He Yan took a sip of water and glanced at the parts in his hand. "For people who like this kind of thing, they probably won't think it's too much. On the contrary, they hope that the more the better. What's more, you put your own hands together and put a lot of effort into it. He shouldn't find it boring or unoriginal."

"That's good," Yuan Xingliang breathed a sigh of relief when he heard He Yan say that. He turned around and looked at the man in his pajamas, still a little damp, and suddenly became curious. "Brother Yan, what birthday gifts do you usually give to your significant other?"

He Yan's body stiffened for a moment. He put down the cup of water and lowered his eyes, not knowing how to answer this question better.

Yuan Xingliang saw that He Yan's expression was not right and realized that he might have said something wrong. He hurriedly wanted to retract his words, but he didn't expect He Yan to answer himself.

"I, I haven't had the chance to give him a gift yet." He Yan rubbed his hands, looking a little confused, which was rare.

He didn't say who this "he" was referring to, but everyone around him could see it, including Yuan Xingliang, so he fell silent.

"The time we were together was too short. He only celebrated my birthday once, and then there were no more. Also... when we met again this year, his birthday had already passed two months ago." He Yan said slowly.

Zhu Shengting's birthday is at the end of March, which is also the perfect time of spring.

But the four seasons have passed so many times, and he still hasn't had the chance to celebrate Zhu Shengting's birthday.

Yuan Xingliang felt a little sorry for himself. He regretted asking this question and patted He Yan's hand comfortingly. "Brother Yan, it's okay. There will be many opportunities in the future."

"Yeah," He Yan said, pulling himself out of his previous emotions. "But I've thought about what to give him before, and it's really hard to choose. I would hope that he would tell me what he wants first, so that the gift will be the most appropriate."

"Yeah," Yuan Xingliang sighed and said while spelling, "But many people like their partners to surprise them, so they don't like to tell them in advance. But who doesn't like surprises? I like it too..."

"bite--"

The two were chatting when He Yan's phone rang with a message.

This is today’s heart-warming text message.

He swiped open the lock screen, clicked on the text message box, and saw the content of a new text message.

"He Yan, there's no need to put too much pressure on me, and there's no need to rush to respond. What I told you today was merely my true inner thoughts that kept me going. I just want to share them with you honestly and don't want to hide anything from you anymore, including the fact that I have broken emotions and want you to love me again. I can wait as long as it takes for you to love me again. I will always stand by your side, just like before."

——"Your ex chose you today."

He Yan held the phone in both hands, chewing over these words over and over again. The heavy weight that had been piling up in his chest was finally shattered.

Zhu Shengting understood his inner thoughts as always.

After hearing what Zhu Shengting said at the racetrack today, besides being shocked, I felt a complex emotion that is hard to describe.

There was resentment towards the culprit Meng Chuan who caused them to lose several years and miss out on the opportunity. There was also heartache for Zhu Shengting who had to wander around and give up everything to start over. There was also dissatisfaction with himself for being too soft-hearted and losing control of his emotions in the face of Zhu Shengting's show of weakness.

All these things created an invisible pressure, as if if he didn't immediately let Zhu Shengting stand by his side again, he would fall into the bitterness of loss again.

However, Zhu Shengting cleverly deciphered his strange illness, knowing that he would not only be moved like others, but would also fall into some kind of emotional whirlpool because of it.

But Zhu Shengting will not regret it, because he will show him 100% of himself, and the process is like a wonderful slow motion.

As the camera slowly zooms in, it shows the process of them accepting each other's past and all the changes in the past few years.

He Yan breathed a sigh of relief. He held the phone in his hand and watched Yuan Xingliang slowly build the parts into a big tree.

Then I gradually became distracted, wondering when my next date would be.

"Are you surprised today?" Zhu Shengting joked to Fu Zhuxing, "Qian Zhixing chose to date you."

Fu Zhuxing nodded calmly, "Yes, a little, but it's okay."

"But I don't think he's interested in me because of the small amount of money."

Zhu Shengting raised his eyebrows, with a vague guess in his mind, "So what do you think it is?"

"I guess he wants to ask me something about Hengting." Fu Zhuxing said lightly.

It was pretty much the same as what Zhu Shengting had guessed. "Well, he was indeed surprised when he saw Lu Hengting accept your flowers that day. He even said that Lu Hengting didn't like flowers."

Speaking of this, Zhu Shengting found it very interesting and couldn't help laughing.

Fu Zhuxing also laughed, "He really didn't like it. I saw it that day. But it's true that when a person hasn't received something like this for a long time, he will still feel a surprise."

"If he wanted to find out Heng Ting's attitude from me, he probably wouldn't have gotten anything. He treated me the same way he treated the rest of you at dinner that day, just like you treat everyone else except Teacher He."

Zhu Shengting was a little surprised. Lu Hengting seemed to treat Fu Zhuxing a little differently that day. It turned out that he was just... showing it to Qian Zhixing?

"But since you are the more obvious one, the other two have restrained themselves a bit." Fu Zhuxing teased.

Zhu Shengting shrugged. "After all, my purpose is clear. I must firmly convey this message wherever I go to give myself more confidence."

"Brother Zhu, at first I thought you were completely confident, but then I heard you express your fear. I was actually a little confused until I found out the reason for your breakup," Fu Zhuxing closed his laptop. "It's such a pity, but fate seems to play tricks on us like this. I also understand why you weren't so confident."

"If I were you, I probably wouldn't choose to go back and get it back."

"Why?" Zhu Shengting looked up at him.

"I will never do anything that I am not 100% confident in, so Brother Zhu, I admire you very much." The reason given by Fu Zhuxing was very simple. It was that he was not as brave as Zhu Shengting.

Zhu Shengting smiled in relief and sighed softly, "Because the time I lost him was long enough for me."

"bite--"

A text message popped up on his phone. Zhu Shengting glanced at it but didn't click on it. "I'll go downstairs for a bit."

Fu Zhuxing nodded.

As soon as Zhu Shengting opened the door, he bumped into He Yan who was walking out with a glass of water.

"What a coincidence." He Yan raised his head, lifted his hair, and shook his pajamas.

Zhu Shengting calmly glanced at He Yan's accidentally exposed waist and abdomen, pointed at the hem of his pajamas, and said with a smile: "There is a button that is not buttoned."

He Yan was stunned. He looked at the hem of his pajamas hesitantly. There was a piece of it that was not buttoned, and a little bit of the edge of his underwear was accidentally exposed.

He must have accidentally pulled it when he stood up just now.

He buttoned it up calmly, but his ears, which were slowly turning red, still revealed his inner embarrassment at the moment.

"I remember you didn't wear this brand before." Zhu Shengting said softly.

What brand?

He Yan didn't react at first and looked at him in confusion, thinking that Zhu Shengting was talking about the brand of pajamas.

"This piece of clothing was given to me as a gift from the brand as part of my endorsement."

"Ah," Zhu Shengting lowered his head and swiped open his phone, revealing today's heart-warming text messages. He looked up and smiled dazzlingly at He Yan again, "I was talking about something else."

He Yan paused, then realized what Zhu Shengting was saying. He forced himself to look down at his waist again, feeling the fabric there was getting hot.

"You..." He couldn't help but glared at Zhu Shengting.

But in Zhu Shengting's eyes, it was just like a rabbit.

He was about to say something when his wrist was grabbed and the blushing "rabbit" dragged him to the corner of the second floor.

Then, before he could even react, He Yan unbuckled his belt with one hand, hooked it around his waistband and pulled it down a few centimeters.

The movements are done in one go.

Zhu Shengting looked at He Yan who was close to him and rolled his Adam's apple twice.

He Yan saw the English letters written on the edge of Zhu Shengting's underwear and said, "I don't remember you wearing this brand before."

"Because of this," Zhu Shengting hooked his hand and pinched the collar of He Yan's pajamas, "It's the same brand as yours, and it's your endorsement."

He Yan stared at him for a few seconds, then loosened Zhu Shengting's belt. He coughed twice to divert his gaze, ignoring his red ears. "You... tie it back on yourself."

"Mine...this is a new sponsor." He blurted out these words without saying a word and left in a hurry.

Zhu Shengting leaned against the wall, slowly fastened his belt, then crossed his arms and thought about the new heart-warming text message he had just received.

——"You don't need to stand beside anyone. Your glory is enough to make everyone who knows you proud."
