Chapter 83 I thought you were my lunch...
The next morning, before dawn, Jing Yitong opened his eyes before the alarm clock rang.
After saying goodnight to Fang Xin last night, Jing Yitong lay in bed for a long time before finally falling asleep, and only managed to sleep for two hours before waking up.
When he woke up, he didn't feel sleepy at all. Instead, he was in a state of extreme excitement. He couldn't wait to see if Fang Xingu was lying next to him, to make sure that what happened last night was not a dream he had imagined.
The house was renovated a long time ago, and the curtains didn't block out light very well. At this moment, the morning light illuminated the bedroom. Jing Yitong opened his eyes and saw Fang Xingu sleeping peacefully, facing him, with one of his arms wrapped around Fang Xingu's waist.
At this moment, Jing Yitong finally felt a sense of reality—he was really with Fang Xingu.
Having fulfilled his long-cherished wish, Jing Yitong looked at Fang Xingu, who was still asleep, and couldn't help but want to kiss him, but in the end he didn't go over.
Fang Xin probably didn't sleep well last night either, so let him sleep a little longer this morning.
Jing Yitong didn't want to wake Fang Xingu, so he went to the guest bathroom to wash up. He carefully withdrew his arm from Fang Xingu's, but this simple action woke Fang Xingu up.
In his half-awake state, Fang Xingu felt the heat source that had been resting on his waist and back about to be moved. He reflexively grabbed the "heat source," put it back in its original position, and let it continue to warm him. As if worried that the "heat source" would be ungrateful and withdraw again, Fang Xingu simply clamped it between his arms and rubbed his cheek against Jing Yitong's chest.
Jing Yitong couldn't stand being rubbed against like that anymore and kissed him on the face several times.
Fang Xingu was completely awakened. When he opened his eyes, he saw Jing Yitong leaning over to kiss him again. He pushed him away a few times with little force: "Ugh, brother, stop messing around."
To Jing Yitong, Fang Xingu's pushing was less forceful than a kitten kneading its paws, almost like half-pushing and half-accepting. So Jing Yitong simply pulled him into his arms: "I won't leave without making a fuss."
His antics woke Fang Xingu up completely. He smiled and kissed Jing Yitong on the nose: "Alright, Teacher Jing, go to work now. We're waiting for you to earn money to support the family."
Jing Yitong sat up in bed as if he had been injected with chicken blood. He quickly washed up and came out of the bathroom. He saw that Fang Xingu had not only not gone back to sleep, but his eyes were also following him. He was obviously reluctant to let him go.
Jing Yitong's heart softened completely. He propped one leg up on the bed, hovering over Fang Xingu. Seeing that Fang Xingu's lips were even more swollen after a night's sleep, with several small bite marks he had made himself, he couldn't help but laugh.
Fang Xingu immediately saw what he was laughing at and said speechlessly, "You still have the nerve to laugh."
Jing Yitong laughed for a while, then lowered her head and gently pecked his lips: "Sleep a little longer, wait for me to come back."
Fang Xingu touched his face and said, "Mmm."
Jing Yitong tucked his arm back into the blanket, helped him tuck the blanket in, and then set off for the film set.
Although he mentioned it to Fang Xingu last night, Jing Yitong didn't really intend to let Fang Xingu visit him on set. He had a lot of scenes to film today, and he estimated that he would have to film from day to night. Even if Fang Xingu came, he wouldn't be able to accompany him.
So, in order to finish work and go home early today, Jing Yitong put in her best effort to minimize NGs.
The crew felt that Jing Yitong was in particularly good condition today, as if he had put in a lot of effort, and every take went very smoothly. Who would have thought that he had only slept for two hours last night?
At 2 PM, Jing Yitong finished filming another important scene and was finally able to go back to the RV to have lunch and catch up on a nap.
He had just finished packing and was about to head to the RV when he saw someone pulling over several large, open cardboard boxes filled with milk tea. Jing Yitong glanced at them but didn't think much of it, since it was common for people in the film crew to treat each other to milk tea.
But after a while, several child actors and staff members passed by him with milk tea in their hands, and they all greeted him with smiles: "Teacher Jing, we got to drink milk tea today thanks to you."
Jing Yitong initially thought he had misheard, and after a while, he turned to his assistant Yang Qing and asked, "I didn't order milk tea? Did you order it?"
Yang Qing looked at the sky and pretended to be stupid: "Huh? No, no!"
Jing Yitong: "...Are you trying to show off your acting skills in front of me?"
"You'll find out when you get back to the RV," Yang Qing said with an awkward smile. "Your lunch is already in the RV, so I won't come up with you."
Under Yang Qing's watchful gaze, Jing Yitong walked onto the RV without a clue. But as soon as he entered, he saw a familiar figure sitting on the RV's soft seat, watching a show with a bored expression—it was Fang Xin Gu.
Hearing someone get into the car, Fang Xingu finally looked up and smiled at Jing Yitong, saying, "Why did it take you so long to finish?"
Jing Yitong quickly stepped forward and squeezed to sit down next to Fang Xingu: "Didn't you say you weren't coming?"
“I just said my lips were swollen, I didn’t say I couldn’t come,” Fang Xingu said matter-of-factly. “Besides, you won’t get off work until very late today, and it would be boring for me to wait for you alone at home.”
Jing Yitong immediately understood that Fang Xingu meant he missed him. He held Fang Xingu's hand affectionately and squeezed it, finally realizing why everyone had been thanking him with milk tea earlier: "So you treated me to the milk tea?"
"Well, this is my first time visiting the set since my debut, so I can't come empty-handed."
Jing Yitong wanted to hug Fang Xingu, but then he remembered that he was still in his costume and had makeup on, and he was afraid of getting Fang Xingu's clean face and clothes dirty. In the end, he could only grab Fang Xingu's hand and kiss it a few times: "Teacher Fang has gone to so much trouble again."
Fang Xingu lifted her eyelids to look at him: "Will you reimburse me?"
"Here you go!" Jing Yitong said quickly, "I'll give you all the pay."
"Who wants your paycheck? You can manage your own money. I don't care about your money," Fang Xingu said with a smile, nudging him and then taking out lunch from the side and handing it to him. "Eat up. It's so late after filming, and you can't even eat lunch on time. What kind of crew is this?"
Jing Yitong looked at his lunch and said with a smile, "You know what? Before I got on the bus, Brother Yang told me that my lunch was already on the bus, but when I got on the bus I only saw you. I thought you were my lunch."
Fang Xin Gu: ...
Fang Xin closed his eyes, wanting to laugh but also in pain: "Please, please eat properly."
After teasing Fang Xin, Jing Yitong opened his customized lunch. When he was on set, he usually ate light meals to maintain his appearance and physical condition. Most of his meals were low-fat and low-oil. Fortunately, the colors were colorful, which made them somewhat appetizing.
Fang Xingu propped her chin up as she watched him eat, and couldn't help but recall the days she spent eating grass on the Aphrodite. Her expression turned serious: "Isn't it bland? It looks tasteless."
Jing Yitong looked at the rice in his hand and then at Fang Xingu: "Why don't you give me a bite?"
Fang Xingu took a deep breath, wondering where Jing Yitong had learned these words from.
Seeing that Fang Xingu was about to have a tantrum, Jing Yitong quickly forked the largest shrimp from the food box and fed it to Fang Xingu's mouth: "Try it, it actually tastes alright."
Fang Xin Gu didn't stand on ceremony with him and snatched the shrimp. The taste was indeed quite good. The shrimp was fresh and bouncy, and although the seasoning wasn't heavy, you could taste the natural sweetness of the ingredients.
Seeing that Fang Xingu seemed to enjoy the food, Jing Yitong forked another piece of steak for him, which Fang Xingu snatched away again.
Jing Yitong seemed to have found the joy in feeding Fang Xingu. Just as he was about to repeat the same trick, Fang Xingu finally realized something was wrong: "Are you eating or am I eating?"
Jing Yitong chuckled quietly before stuffing the chicken breast he was about to feed Fang Xingu into his own mouth.
Fang Xingu: "Don't keep feeding me. I've already eaten. After I finish eating, I'll sleep with you for a while."
Jing Yitong felt fulfilled and happy. He leaned close to Fang Xingu and said, "I'm being treated so well."
Fang Xin touched his head: "After all, he's my boyfriend."
After dinner, the two slept side by side for a while. In the afternoon, when filming was underway, Fang Xingu thought that since they were already there, they might as well go to the set with Jing Yitong to take a look.
However, to cover his swollen lips from Jing Yitong's kiss, he put on a mask again.
As the two walked toward the film set, many people knew that Fang Xin had come to visit Jing Yitong on set today because of the several boxes of milk tea they had just received. So, as they passed by, they greeted them and then secretly chuckled as they slipped away, glancing at them intently.
At this moment, a lighting technician passed by the two. This lighting technician was an old acquaintance of Jing Yitong and had worked together on many dramas. When he saw Fang Xingu walking next to Jing Yitong, he was going to greet the two of them. However, the sight of the two walking together suddenly brought back a memory from six years ago.
Both are period dramas, both feature Jing Yitong dressed in somewhat shabby costumes, and both are accompanied by a boy wearing a mask with beautiful eyes showing...
The lighting technician stopped in front of the two of them and suddenly slapped his thigh, startling Fang Xingu and Jing Yitong.
The lighting technician exclaimed excitedly, "Hey! Teacher Jing, back when we were filming 'Us Without Tomorrow,' wasn't the person who visited you on set the same time as Teacher Fang?"
Jing Yitong had no intention of hiding it at all, and he immediately put his arm around Fang Xingu: "Yes."
"Haha, what a coincidence," the lighting technician laughed. He had thought the two were brothers back then, but now he realized that they probably weren't related by blood at all. He didn't say much, just kept saying, "That's good, that's good."
This time, Fang Xin was settled by Jing Yitong on a small stool next to him, quietly watching Jing Yitong film. During this time, several crew members came up to him for autographs, and he signed them all.
Meanwhile, the internet was already buzzing with excitement because of Fang Xin's unexpected visit to the set.
"Holy crap, so the person who visited Jing Yitong on set today and even bought milk tea for the whole crew was really Fang Xin Gu?"
"Just now we were saying that our CP fans were suspected of being poisoned by a group of fans, now let's quickly confirm if this person on set is Fang Xin Gu~ [Image]"
"Just by that figure, I knew it was Fang Xingu in a second... Jing Yitong and Fang Xingu are both no longer acting, which means they should act in more of their roles so I can watch them [drooling]"
"Some people actually believed it? But this script for the 'wheat bran' drama is indeed well written. These two people are also very capable. With so much after-sales service, they deserve a high reward."
"I've already said it wasn't acted or scripted; it was just a genuine expression of my feelings."
"Don't avoid my on-screen couple anymore, let's interact boldly like this just once QAQ"
"As a complete stranger, is it possible that your favorite couple's lack of interaction isn't because they want to avoid suspicion, but because they're simply not familiar with each other..."
"You ran off to Guangzhou to be with a man even after the album was finished? [tears] Is that how much you love him?"
"Jing Yitong, my son traveled all the way to Suizhou to see you, and you not only didn't arrange a big sofa for him, but you also made him sit on a small stool, waaaaah!"
“I can’t take it anymore. I feel like Gu Si and Tong Si have already resigned themselves to their fate. What they care about has fast-forwarded from the fact that my brother and your brother are just ordinary colleagues to whether your brother has been good enough to my brother.”
"There's nothing we can do about it, Tongxinyuan is just that authoritative!"
Fang Xin had no time to pay attention to the online commotion, because at that moment, he received a message from You Zhicheng.
Yu Zhicheng: Hey, I heard your album is almost finished. Are you free next month to participate in a music variety show I'm organizing?
Fang Xin was still shaken by the time You Zhicheng tricked him into recording "Star Journey" years ago, and he has absolutely no trust in You Zhicheng. He immediately refused: "I'm not going. I plan to go on tour in the second half of the year, and I'm going to take a break during this time."
You Zhicheng pressed further: Are you really not coming?
Fang Xin's attitude was very firm: he would not come.
You Zhicheng feigned regret: Okay, this was originally a program I tailored just for you. I even brought Tan Zhi here, and deliberately set the competition format so that the guests would take turns singing each other's songs. I was even planning to rig things a bit and have you sing "Please Listen to His Defendant." So many years have passed, you haven't already let go of that matter, have you?
You Zhicheng's move really hit Fang Xingu's weak spot. Fang Xingu, who had been very resolute, suddenly hesitated.
The timing was perfect. Jiang He's incident had just laid the groundwork for this, and then he learned from Liang Jiyan about Tan Zhi's rather chaotic sex life over the years.
Although Liang Jiyan said she would hand over the relevant evidence to the police, she mainly had clues about Jiang Zhou. The police investigation would take some time. During this period, it was indeed very suitable for her to throw some oil on Tan Zhi's head and wait for the fire to start.
More importantly, now that he and Jing Yitong have achieved great success and are well-known in the industry, no one will dare to bully them anymore.
But considering that recording an entire season of a music variety show would mean having to look at Tan Zhi's disgusting face for a long time, Fang Xingu didn't want to make himself uncomfortable at all. After thinking about it, he quickly came up with an idea.
Fang Xingu replied: "Arrange for me to be a guest performer or a challenger, I want to settle things with Tan Zhi."
Yu Zhicheng rubbed his hands excitedly: OK!
