Chapter 78 "Crazy Soil"

"What happened to you last night?" Wade heard the sound of the electronic door lock unlocking and immediately turned around from the sofa.

Shen Xiyu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately he didn't run into Liang Qi who was sending him back.

Ten minutes ago, a black Bentley parked at the entrance of the community.

"I'm leaving first." Shen Xiyu picked up his bag and prepared to open the car door.

"What do you mean?"

The car doors were locked.

"Talk?" The man in the driver's seat tapped the steering wheel with his fingers.

“…”

Shen Xiyu actually didn't want to get entangled with him here. She was worried that Wade would see her and go crazy again. More importantly, she herself hadn't sorted out her thoughts and didn't know how to face Liang Qi's entanglement.

She really couldn't figure out Liang Qi's current state.

He gave Shen Xiyu a very torn feeling, as if he was torn between the past and the present. On the one hand, he could still act coquettishly towards Shen Xiyu, saying the same sweet and sweet words as before.

But the way he looked at himself was different.

Shen Xiyu couldn't explain it. When he was awake, the way he looked at himself was like... like he was looking at prey.

Or rather, she was looking at him. She could even see the viciousness that Liang Qi revealed unintentionally, but those emotions disappeared when he was concentrating on communicating with her.

What a strange feeling.

In the past, although he sometimes couldn't hide his feelings, he would use some tricks to deceive Shen Xiyu and would be secretly jealous.

But they were all normal quarrels between lovers, and Liang Qi was always gentle and sensible to her.

I don’t know what he went through.

Shen Xiyu thought about it and felt that it was understandable. After fighting abroad, he did not go to manage the family's pharmaceutical company. Instead, he really relied on himself and went in a completely different direction. His brilliance even overshadowed the imprint of the Liang family on him.

She couldn't imagine how much he had paid for this.

"What are you thinking about?" Liang Qi saw that she had been silent.

Chen Xiyu looked at Liang Qi again, and suddenly felt a little exhausted. The harsh words stuck in his mouth, unable to be uttered.

"What do you want to talk about?"

"Talk about us."

"I don't know, Liang Qi. I've been exhausted since last night." Chen Xiyu didn't want to argue with him, but he didn't want to say anything more either. "It was too sudden. You've been gone for so many years, and suddenly, you appear, and then we do something like that without even realizing it."

When she really wanted to say something, she was a little incoherent and chose her sentences carefully.

"What I said last night is true, but please give me some time so I can sort things out."

"How long will it take?" Liang Qi's tone was still cold, and there seemed to be a storm brewing in his eyes.

Shen Xiyu avoided his gaze.

"I don't know. Let me think about it." She paused for a moment before finally asking, "You...are you alone now?"

Shen Xiyu's words caught Liang Qi off guard. "Did I give you some misconception, Shen Xiyu?"

Her heart palpitated when she heard him add her name after the words, and still in the same tone.

I'm really angry.

"No," she explained hastily, "I just see people like you. People like you, don't they all have to get married or something like that, and have bed partners? I was really confused last night and didn't have time to ask."

In fact, Shen Xiyu wanted to ask this question several times last night, but he couldn't say a complete sentence when he opened his mouth.

When I woke up, I bumped my waist, applied medicine, and comforted Wade.

Amidst the chaos and turmoil, she forgot about the matter. Mainly because there was no trace of a woman's life in Liang Qi's house, she didn't take it too seriously.

But to be on the safe side, Shen Xiyu felt that he still needed to ask clearly.

What if he has a fiancée, girlfriend or something.

Not only will I not have to think about it, but I will also have to pay the price for my actions yesterday.

Liang Qi was so angry that he gritted his teeth.

"Do you think I have?"

Shen Xiyu knew he would throw the question back, but she didn't buy it.

"That's something you have to ask yourself."

"No, I do." Liang Qi spoke each word with emphasis, "I, say, no, I do."

"Oh, that's good." Shen Xiyu muttered softly. In fact, she had expected this a long time ago, but she was still worried unless she heard Liang Qi's personal opinion on this matter.

"Aren't you going to ask me?"

"It doesn't matter whether he has it or not. If he does, break up with him. If he doesn't, that's the best."

“…”

*

Before getting off the car, Shen Xiyu was still thinking, this guy has really become a madman over the years, he's completely crazy. I didn't expect he still had the courage and potential to be a mistress.

…

"I'm not asking you."

Wade was a little confused when he saw her calmly changing her shoes and taking off her coat, as if she didn't see him at all.

"Don't you know what's going on?" Shen Xiyu went to the kitchen to pour a glass of water.

Vader chased him to the kitchen.

"No, you two really rekindled your old feelings."

Shen Xiyu sat on a high stool, turning the colorful glass.

She has a hobby of collecting beautiful cups. Although she doesn't like drinking water and rarely uses them, she just likes to bring these flashy and beautiful little gadgets home.

Vader keenly noticed the mark on her neck.

"You did it."

Shen Xiyu felt that this was an affirmative statement and he should not need to respond to him.

"Your mouth is taped shut?"

"You've said it all, what else can I say?"

In fact, Shen Xiyu didn't like Wade's current appearance. It's not like they haven't seen each other dating other people before. His reaction was too extreme. After all, there was no room for him to interfere in this matter.

"Ved, I want to know what you take me for?"

Wade was still angry, and Shen Xiyu's words also confused him.

"What? We've known each other for so many years, and I've confessed my feelings to you so many times. Why can it be Chu He, Liang Qi, but not me?"

Chu He was Shen Xiyu's boyfriend two years ago, but they broke up soon because of some big and small things.

"Ved, it's not that you like me, it's just that we've been together for too long, and this pattern has solidified, and you're just used to it."

Shen Xiyu felt it necessary to take this opportunity to clarify these things with him.

"You said you liked me. If you really liked me, you wouldn't have let Liang Qi take me away yesterday."

Wade frowned, "Are you blaming me?"

Shen Xiyu was a little confused about how he came to this conclusion.

"I'm not blaming you. I just think you don't understand. You don't know what love is. You've been so absorbed in your work these past few years. You're a true genius at filmmaking, but you can't blur the line between film and reality. I'm just an ordinary person and can't satisfy your fantasies."

"Don't make it difficult for me like this. It hasn't been easy for us to get to where we are today. I don't want to sever our friendship because of love. I can handle my own affairs."

“…”

*

Shen Xiyu hadn't contacted Wade and Liang Qi for three days.

Although she and Liang Qi had a mess that had not been dealt with properly, Shen Xiyu didn't have time to think about it now.

The filming plan of "Crazy Soil" was restarted almost immediately after the investment contract was signed.

During this period, Shen Xiyu also thought that this play was most likely invested by Liang Qi because of his personal relationship. If she and Liang Qi repeatedly verified it in the future and still decided to go their separate ways, wouldn't she owe him a big favor?

But she didn't have a better solution. She was also half a businessman, and love and career were two different things to her.

Liang Qi was able to invest in herself based on emotion, but she couldn't reject his olive branch based on emotion now.

She represents not only herself, but also the entire team who have devoted their efforts to this project.

At worst, if the company really fails to pass the review, it can just grit its teeth and make up for the losses. It will just mean a few years of tight living, but it won't lead to the end of the road.

*

The day before filming resumed, the main crew members and the leading actors had a meal together.

That day was also the first time Shen Xiyu and Wade met again after such a long time.

That day, Shen Xiyu saw that it was Wade’s ex-girlfriend who drove him there.

Sometimes she also admired Wade. Not only did he fall in love with every girl he met, but he also kept telling her how much he loved her over the years, and he kept breaking up and getting back together with his ex-girlfriend.

Shen Xiyu didn't know whether to say he was sentimental or affectionate.

In the final analysis, she didn't want to get involved in Wade's affairs. Although they were close friends, Shen Xiyu could never stand his style in this matter.

However, Shen Xiyu understood best that meddling in other people's affairs should be done in moderation.

So when Wade and the others entered the box one after another, Shen Xiyu did not turn around to pay attention to him.

But strangely, Wade seemed to be in a good mood.

He also whispered something behind her.

"I have prepared a great gift for you."

*

Ten minutes after the dinner started, Shen Xiyu finally understood what the great gift he was talking about was.

"Welcome, Teacher Chu He."

"Welcome Teacher Chu to join us."

“…”

Everyone stood up and welcomed him warmly, which was a great honor for him. But it was also true that a big star like Chu He could play a supporting role in such a sensitive movie, and the female lead was a newcomer, which was undoubtedly a boost to the film's reputation.

Judging from the current situation, it seems that everyone knew Chu He was coming today. So why didn't anyone inform her? Logically, she should have a say in the casting.

Shen Xiyu was having trouble managing his facial expression.

Is she having a conflict this year with the dinner party or with her ex-boyfriend?

First, Liang Qi pretended to be dead, and then Chu He joined.

It seems that this is the "surprise" that Wade mentioned. After all, apart from him, no one here knows that she and Chu He had been in a relationship.

Chen Xiyu smiled and applauded along with everyone else, but with a forced smile, he whispered to Wade beside him, "Is this your 'surprise'? Can you afford Chu He's salary? Is there a role for him? Even if you're messing around, there has to be a limit."

Wei De also knew that Shen Xiyu was really angry, so he whispered to her, "I didn't bring him here. Who told you to stay indoors these days? I'll tell you in detail later."

"Director Wei, Chen Zuo, long time no see."

“Long time no see” again, Shen Xiyu almost wanted to laugh.

"Chen Zuo, don't you welcome me very much?" Chu He smiled gently.

"That's not true." Chen Xiyu smiled and sat down with everyone. "It's just that we haven't worked together for so long, I was a little surprised to see it all of a sudden."

"Is it a surprise or a shock?"

"Just stop teasing her." Wade came to Shen Xiyu's rescue at the right time.

Chu He, Wade and Shen Xiyu were actually a famous iron triangle back then. Chu He was the male lead in their first work. After the film was released, he became a hit in Asia, but later because he turned to the traffic route, he gradually drifted away from the two who made art films.

But Shen Xiyu and him had no real contact over the years. After all, they were ex-lovers.

That was before their first film was released. Shen Xiyu couldn't explain why. It might be because of the character filter at that time. She had been working on this script for a long time, and Chu He's performance was perfect. It was exactly what she had in mind.

It may also be that she couldn't resist Chu He's sweet talk, so she dated him for three or four months without thinking, and it ended in nothing. Although it wasn't as ugly as the one with Liang Qi, they were no longer in touch.

As far as Shen Xiyu knew, Wade and the other two still kept in touch occasionally.

But how does he get involved in this movie?

Shen Xiyu's mood was greatly disturbed by this group of people.
