Chapter 374 Come Home with Me This Year
"This doesn't seem to be a question of whether there is a parking space." Shen Zhichu pondered for a moment, "Big Movie Emperor, do you want to go back with me?"
Bai Qiujing was caught red-handed, his ears trembling. After hesitating for a moment, he simply said, "Can I go home with you?"
Chen Zhichu said go back, Bai Qiujing said go home, the difference of one word has completely different meanings.
Shen Zhichu was speechless for a moment, staring at his face without making any statement.
She was just saying it casually, but Bai Qiujing took it seriously.
In her impression, Bai Qiujing is like a big boy who has just entered puberty. He is reckless in his love, but also cautious in his explorations. He is particularly shy.
Before, she always liked to tease him as the "big movie star", and the redness on his ears extended all the way to his neck, like a boiled shrimp.
I thought he would be shy and dodge this time, but unexpectedly, he stared at her stubbornly, like an abandoned puppy waiting to be picked up by its owner.
"I'm sorry, it was too sudden." In the end, Bai Qiujing was the first to give in. He took a breath, took out a mint candy from the car drawer, threw four into his mouth, and bit them with a crunching sound.
Shen Zhichu could even smell the mint scent coming from his mouth, which was pleasant and would never be as pungent and hurtful as the smell of cigarettes.
"Parking nearby?"
Shen Zhichu hummed, looking at the familiar scene outside the car window, she moved her lips and whispered softly: "Not now, but later."
She spoke softly, as if she had accidentally spoken out her true feelings.
"What do you mean later?" Bai Qiujing stepped on the brakes and pulled over to the side of the road. He put his hands on the steering wheel and leaned closer to Shen Zhichu. "Chuchu, are you saying I can go home with you in the future? How long is that? A week, a month, a year, or two years?"
Chen Zhichu held the cat in her arms, scratching Nian Nian's neck intermittently with her hands. She looked up and thought for a while. This few seconds of pause was a long wait for Bai Qiujing. He felt that everything around him had slowed down and entered an unbearable slow motion.
Shen Zhichu thought seriously for five seconds, then smiled and said, “Wait until my new house is renovated.”
Bai Qiujing tried desperately to suppress the smile on his lips, but the corners of his lips couldn't help but curl up, and even his fingers couldn't suppress them.
"Then I have to help you a little more, and try to finish the decoration this year. The Chinese New Year is only six or seven months away. I want to go to your house for Christmas, watch the Spring Festival Gala, set off fireworks together, and count down to the New Year together..." Bai Qiujing bent his fingers and tapped on the steering wheel, tapping every time he said a word, which made people feel calm.
Chen Zhichu suddenly felt that the deer on his chest came back to life. A warm heat spread from his heart to his whole body, even warming his eyes.
Spending Christmas together, New Year's Eve together, setting off fireworks together, giving gifts together on Christmas, these were all things she had thought of but could no longer dream of but had never realized.
Can all of this really be achieved this year?
Shen Zhichu secretly woke up and sniffed: "Five or six months is a bit tight for the construction period, and the new house has to be vacant for several months, which will cause dust and formaldehyde."
"Then why don't you come home with me this year? We'll celebrate the New Year in Chengdu."
Nothing is absolute, Shen Zhichu dare not make any guarantees, and she needs time to confirm the relationship between her and Bai Qiujing.
Friendship is more important than love, to be more precise it is a soulmate or family.
Shen Zhichu is much more rational than before. After being resurrected, she has become very rational and no longer thinks that love is necessary in life.
For her, love is a seasoning that can bring rich happiness to your life, but it will also add a lot of trouble.
Before marrying Li Jingshen, Shen Zhichu yearned for love and thought that getting married would give her a real family.
"Marriage" is amazing. It can bring two strangers together. It can make the seas dry up and the rocks crumble, it can flatten the mountains and seas, and it can cross mountains and rivers. But in fact, it can't even bring the simplest happiness.
Once bitten by a snake, one will be afraid of ropes for ten years. From God's perspective, this may be just a small problem, but only those who have experienced it personally can understand how terrifying it is.
Shen Zhichu asked: "Bai Qiujing, why are you so nice to me? We've only known each other for a short time, and I have a very bad reputation. Others would rather avoid me."
"I don't believe in rumors. I only believe you, and I only believe Shen Zhichu, whom I have seen and known with my own eyes."
"But have you ever thought that your eyes and ears can deceive you? I might not be what you think I am."
"Isn't that more interesting? I will slowly dig deeper and deeper to understand the real you, as long as you don't hide." He was as surprised as if he had found a treasure map.
He used to hear people say that liking someone is so sweet that it's scary, but now it seems that scary is not enough to describe it, and terrifying is the correct word.
He felt like his heart was about to explode when he said these words.
Chen Zhichu didn't answer his question. She quickly unbuckled her seat belt and got out of the car holding Nian Nian.
"Big Movie Emperor, let's make an appointment next time."
He ran away after flirting with her. He was really irresponsible. Bai Qiujing also unbuckled his seat belt and wanted to take her upstairs but was stopped by Shen Zhichu.
It was just after get off work and there were many people on the street. Bai Qiujing was too well-known and there was a high possibility that he would be recognized. Shen Zhichu didn't dare to take the risk.
Shen Zhichu stopped him and said, "Don't get off the car. I'm going back."
Bai Qiujing glanced at the people around him, endured it with all his strength, stretched his legs back, and closed the car door.
"There's an interview with me tonight at 8 o'clock. You can check it out if you have time."
"Okay." Shen Zhichu closed the car door and waved to Bai Qiujing from outside.
…….
The most difficult task at hand has been completed, and we have made a good start. Next, we can consider investment.
Money will be needed in many places in the future, and we still have more than 600 million yuan left on hand. Don’t be fooled by the huge number, it will be gone soon if we really spend it.
Shen Zhichu was not a person who would live off his savings. After returning home, he lay on the sofa with his computer and began to analyze the recent stock market. Finally, he bought a stock and invested 10 million in it.
Investment, the Shen family had done a lot of business in the past, including jewelry, building materials, real estate, etc. If Shen Zhichu chose to stick to her old business, it might be much easier, but Li Jingshen and Lu Tingchuan were the leaders of these, and she would inevitably meet them if she was involved.
Shen Zhichu thought about it for a long time, but finally gave up. She was too weak now and had no strength to compete with these two people.
The only option is to invest in film and television. Shen Zhichu has never been involved in this aspect, but it does not mean that she can't do it well.
Her fingers tapped quickly on the keyboard. Two hours passed in a flash before Shen Zhichu stopped her aching hands. She rubbed her wrists, looked at Nian Nian who was curled up obediently beside her, and reached out to touch her.
Niannian raised his chin and meowed.
"Are you hungry?"
Chen Zhichu glanced at the time and saw that it was almost eight o'clock, but she had not yet cooked. She had to change her habit of forgetting to eat when she was busy with work. She was still very healthy in this life, but she could not let her stomach problems develop into stomach cancer like in her previous life.
Shen Zhichu cooked a bowl of noodles and then opened a can of food for Nian Nian.
While eating noodles, Shen Zhichu always felt as if he had forgotten something, and he couldn't remember it for a long time, feeling empty and confused.
She took out her cell phone and first looked at the text messages. There was no message except the recommended message. Then she glanced at the time. It was exactly eight o'clock.
Eight o’clock... Eight o’clock...
Shen Zhichu finally remembered what she had forgotten, and Bai Qiujing asked her to watch his interview online.
Shen Zhichu clicked on the fruit video, and Bai Qiujing's interview appeared on the homepage.
Following the withdrawal of Chen Zhichu, Zheng Xiuxiu, and Li Yi from the cast, Bai Qiujing also withdrew.
This interview was his explanation for this matter.
"I joined Actors Arrival to find a collaborator, and now I have found one."
"Then can you tell me who it is?"
"No, I'm afraid you'll disturb her. In my eyes, she's the best actress I've ever known. You'll definitely see me and her on screen together in the future."
There are more than sixty artists among the guests of the show, and most of them are male actors. Bai Qiujing's fans think on the bright side, and think that the people Bai Qiujing wants to cooperate with must be male actors. After all, no one has seen any serious scenes between him and any actress. He is a man straighter than steel.
Bai Qiujing rarely gives interviews, and the reporter thought he could pry some words he wanted to hear from him, but his mouth was sealed too tightly.
"Can Mr. Bai tell us which guests on the show you're most excited about?"
"No, after the show airs, I, as a mentor, will give a detailed evaluation. Every artist is excellent, except for those who use tricks and have crooked ideas. Their motives are stupid."
Faced with all kinds of tricky and pervasive questions from reporters, Bai Qiujing had long since mastered the art of knowing how to counter the questions the moment they were asked.
Reporters can be said to have a love-hate relationship with Bai Qiujing. It is too difficult to dig out the answers they want from him. But every time they want to give up, he will say a few words to give them some sweet treats to get them to the point of satisfaction.
The reporter asked: "What does Emperor Bai think of Shen Zhichu, who has been frequently on the trending searches recently?"
Bai Qiujing replied seriously, "I don't know the full story yet, so I can't make a judgment. I can only say her acting is very good. Rational netizens can make better judgments than I can."
Reporter: "But netizens are very concerned about the negative information about Shen Zhichu."
Bai Qiujing said, "Regarding this, I would like to ask Shen Zhichu's fans: you clearly knew her before the rumors spread, so why did you stop believing her later? I also hope that netizens can speak rationally. You can say compliments freely, but you must think twice before slandering her."
The reporter wanted to ask a few more questions, but was interrupted by Bai Qiujing half-jokingly, "Just let this question go, otherwise I'd think you're here to interview Shen Zhichu."
