"This is my friend, Qin Zheng." Yu Qinghuan walked out from behind Huo Qu and introduced them to each other, "Brother Zheng, this is Huo Qu."
The two men looked at each other for a few seconds, and Qin Zheng nodded first.
Huo Qu actually didn't know how to greet strangers, but seeing this, he felt that he couldn't be outdone by Qin Zheng, so he nodded in agreement.
"Do you want to go out for dinner together?" Huo Qu turned to Yu Qinghuan and asked in a low voice.
"Yes." Yu Qinghuan responded, and seeing that he immediately put on an aggrieved look, she suppressed her laughter and asked him, "Why are you here now?"
"I missed you." Huo Qu replied without thinking, glancing at Qin Zheng across from him, and said in a low voice, "But you are going to eat with others."
After a pause, he added pitifully, "I haven't even had breakfast yet."
"Why didn't you eat in the morning?" Yu Qinghuan immediately felt distressed. She ignored his first sentence, glared at him, and said in a reproachful tone, "Do you think you have a good appetite?"
"Qing Huan," Huo Qu grabbed his wrist and shook it pleadingly, "Then take me with you when you eat, I want to eat too."
Huo Rong on the side: "???"
If he remembered correctly, his brother had two bowls of pumpkin porridge and a pork pie this morning! So the question is, when did his brother, who never lied, learn to lie?
He glanced at Huo Qu with a complicated expression, and sighed secretly in his heart. He suddenly realized that the pure white brother was actually a scheming guy... It really subverted his three views.
"I'll take you even if you don't tell me." Yu Qinghuan touched his head and turned to Qin Zheng, "Brother Zheng, do you mind sharing a table?"
"Of course I don't mind." Qin Zheng said with a smile: "Your friends are my friends, and Huo Rong and I have known each other before."
Yu Qinghuan always felt that what he said was strange, but she couldn't figure out what was wrong for a moment, so she just nodded and changed the subject.
While they were talking, Huo Qu's eyes were always on Qin Zheng, as if he was assessing the strength of his enemy. As soon as Yu Qinghuan's gaze left him, Qin Zheng immediately looked back.
Huo Qu was caught peeking, but he did not feel guilty. He stared at Qin Zheng without showing any weakness and refused to retreat even a step.
Yu Qinghuan hadn't noticed the undercurrent between the two of them at all. He was afraid that Huo Qu was starving, so he was hurriedly checking his phone to find a suitable restaurant.
Fortunately, there was a private restaurant downstairs with better privacy. Yu Qinghuan took a few people there and asked for a private room.
When choosing a seat, Huo Qu used the three words "fast and accurate" to the extreme. Before anyone could react, he rushed over and sat down next to Yu Qinghuan.
Qin Zheng raised his hand and was about to pull out the chair: "..."
Suddenly I felt that this silly kid was a little difficult to deal with.
He narrowed his eyes and sat down opposite Yu Qinghuan as a second choice.
Huo Qu always sticks to him, so Yu Qinghuan didn't think there was anything wrong with that. He handed Qin Zheng a menu that the waiter had placed on the corner of the table, "Brother Zheng, order what you like. I'm not picky about food."
"Okay," Qin Zheng took the menu, raised the corners of his lips slightly, and looked at Huo Qu with a smile.
Huo Qu was already unhappy because Yu Qinghuan gave the menu to Qin Zheng first. When he was looked at provocatively by him, he pursed his lips in discomfort.
Although he didn't know why, Huo Qu was very sure that he didn't like Qin Zheng from the first time he saw him.
I even hated it so much that I wanted to cover his eyes so that he could never see Qinghuan again!
"What's wrong, Huo Qu?" Yu Qinghuan put her menu in front of him and turned a page. She was about to ask him what he wanted to eat when she saw him staring blankly. She nudged him with her elbow out of concern and said with a smile, "Are you starving?"
"I..." Huo Qu opened his mouth somewhat unwillingly. He was about to ask Yu Qinghuan why she gave the menu to Qin Zheng first, but suddenly his eyes lit up and he became happy in an instant.
Qin Zheng was looking at the menu alone, while Qing Huan was looking at the same one with him!
It’s clear at a glance who is close and who is distant!
"I want to eat this ~ and this!" Huo Qu was immediately happy. He happily showed the dimple on his left cheek and clicked twice on the page. If he had a tail, it would probably be wagging by now.
"Okay." Yu Qinghuan didn't know why his mood changed so quickly, and she was too lazy to delve into it. She looked in the direction where his finger pointed and was stunned.
Huo Qu ordered a plate of sweet and sour pork ribs and a plate of shrimp with cashews, both of which were exactly his favorite dishes.
"Do you like to eat this too?" Yu Qinghuan asked casually as he turned the page.
"Huh?" Huo Qu was stunned for a moment, then shook his head, "No." He has never had any preference for food or daily necessities.
"If I don't like it, why don't you order something?" Yu Qinghuan said to him, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. Just when she was about to ask the waiter to cancel the two dishes, she heard Huo Qu say as a matter of course: "But you like it."
At that moment, Yu Qinghuan couldn't describe how she felt. Her whole body seemed to become light, her nose felt sore and swollen, and she almost couldn't control her tears.
He lowered his head to hide his gaffe, and after a long while, he started to look through the menu again.
Huo Rong on the side was shocked again.
Has his brother become so understanding and considerate now? Can you even remember what the people around you like to eat? !
The silly brother was immediately very excited. He rubbed his hands with excitement and looked at Huo Qu with a drooling face: "San'er, help the second brother to order a dish as well."
"Ah!" Huo Qu looked up blankly, as if he was a little overwhelmed by his request. After a few seconds, he nodded, "Okay, what do you want to eat, second brother?"
Huo Rong's heart ached, "Huh? Don't you know what my second brother wants to eat?"
Huo Qu said calmly: "I don't know!"
Huo Rong: “…”
Looking at his brother's handsome face without any guilt, Huo Rong muttered in a depressed tone, "If you don't know this, what else do you know!"
He thought his voice was quiet enough, but Huo Qu still heard it.
Huo Qu answered his question very honestly: "I know what Qinghuan likes to eat."
Huo Rong: “…”
younger brother! You don’t have to answer! !
After a few people waited for a while, the ordered dishes were served.
The four grown men all had big appetites, and the entire table was filled with a variety of dishes. Unfortunately, almost all of Yu Qinghuan's favorite dishes were placed in front of Qin Zheng.
The world is big, but eating is the most important thing. Yu Qinghuan was the least reserved when eating, and she directly reached her chopsticks into the plate of cashew shrimps. However, the iron chopsticks used in this shop were a bit slippery, and he failed to pick it up once.
Putting down his chopsticks, Yu Qinghuan rolled up his sleeves and was about to switch to a spoon when Qin Zheng scooped a full spoonful of shrimps into his bowl.
"Thank you, Brother Zheng." Yu Qinghuan picked up a shrimp and put it into his mouth, secretly sighing in his heart that no matter whether it was Qin Zheng when he was young or Qin Zheng ten years later, he was always so caring.
Qin Zheng did the same when they were having meals in his previous life, always trying his best to take care of him.
The ingredients used in this private restaurant are quite good. The shrimps are sweet and delicious. After eating one, Yu Qinghuan couldn't help but put another one in her mouth, which made Huo Qu's eyes turn red with anxiety.
He also followed Qin Zheng's example and wanted to pick up some food for Yu Qinghuan.
Unfortunately, he was not good at using a spoon to begin with, and he was anxious at the moment, so he couldn't scoop anything up no matter how hard he tried. In the end, he was so anxious that beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
"Here, eat it." Just when Huo Qu was getting anxious, Yu Qinghuan suddenly scooped a spoonful of shrimp into his bowl and asked softly, "What else do you want to eat?"
Huo Qu stared at his smiling face in a daze, and a light bulb suddenly lit up in his head.
Not using the spoon properly = Qinghuan picks up food for herself.
In other words—
Sometimes a disadvantage can turn into an advantage if used well? !
Huo Qu lowered his eyes, revealing a dimple on his face. When he raised his eyes again, his face was full of innocence, "Qinghuan, I want to eat that, and that..."
After a pause, he bit his chopsticks and asked tentatively: "Will you pick them all for me?"
"What else?" Yu Qinghuan glanced at him with a smile, "You can't pick it up by yourself."
Throughout the meal, Huo Qu used this method to attract all of Yu Qinghuan's attention. The two of them were eating by chance, as if they were the only two people at the table.
Qin Zheng's eyes darkened slightly. Looking at the smugness that could not be hidden in Huo Qu's eyes, he felt a little depressed for the first time in his life.
There was no other reason. He couldn't learn this move, and even if he learned it, he wouldn't be able to use it with dignity.
Everyone had their own thoughts during the meal, and when it came time to pay the bill, something went wrong.
Yu Qinghuan had a very accurate understanding of himself. Even though Qin Zheng had a good impression of him in this life, their relationship was different from that in the previous life after all, and he couldn't take it for granted that he would pay the bill.
However, Qin Zheng felt that he was a senior and had a slight crush on Yu Qinghuan, so he insisted on paying.
Neither of them convinced the other. Just when Yu Qinghuan was thinking about whether to take a step back, Huo Qu suddenly reached out and grabbed his wrist, "Qinghuan, I've paid the money, let's go."
Huo Rong, who had just received the bank card from the cashier girl, said: "..."
It was obviously him who paid, okay? ! How come his brother has become so unlovable now!
"Huh?" After hearing Huo Qu's words, Yu Qinghuan was a little unresponsive for a moment. After several seconds, he nodded blankly. Only then did he realize that Huo Qu was going to drag him away again.
"Wait," Yu Qinghuan motioned him to stop, then turned back and said to Qin Zheng, "Brother Zheng, where are you going next?"
"Go and take care of my car first," Qin Zheng smiled at him and said, "You already have my contact information. Keep in touch. You can come to me for help if you have any problems."
"Thank you, Brother Zheng." Yu Qinghuan smiled back at him. He wanted to say something else, but Huo Qu had already impatiently dragged him to the door.
Yu Qinghuan had no choice but to say goodbye to Qin Zheng with a sad face and followed Huo Qu.
He didn't notice that as soon as he caught up, Huo Qu suddenly turned his head and looked at Qin Zheng.
That look was cold and provocative, yet contained a strong warning, like that of a ferocious and violent wolf cub.
After the photo of Yu Qinghuan and Qin Zheng was released on Ada’s official Weibo account, it immediately caused a sensation.
No one expected that Ada’s spokesperson this time would be Qin Zheng.
Everyone sighed that Yu Qinghuan was really lucky, but it was really enviable that she could get in touch with Qin Zheng by endorsing a low-end watch from a big brand.
Qin Zheng is not a young handsome guy who relies on his youth, nor is he an idol who has no acting skills.
He is 33 years old this year. Not only is his acting skills impeccable, but he is also listed in the world's 100 sexiest men list every year. He is one of the top male stars in the entertainment industry. I don't know how many actors are scrambling to take advantage of his popularity.
But Qin Zheng has always been low-key, and outsiders have no idea where he is. Not only that, in order to avoid being tied up for hype, Qin Zheng almost never gets too close to others, so such intimate photos are rare for him.
"Ah!!! I can't close my legs because of Brother Zheng's handsomeness! Now I believe that Yu Qinghuan is the real lucky fish!"
"Ying, Brother Zheng, I'll marry you!"
"Hey, my two husbands took a photo together. Which one should I choose to take home tonight? I'm waiting online. It's urgent."
"Wake up upstairs, stop dreaming!"
"Qing Huan has really lost a lot of weight. Hey, he must have put a lot of effort into filming Orange and Yellow. I really admire him."
………………
However, what is shocking is far more than that. Qin Zheng actually reposted the photo of the two of them for the first time and tagged Yu Qinghuan.
Qin Zheng v: @Yu Qinghuan, it’s a pleasure to work with you. Let’s have dinner together when we are free. [Handshake]
This made the already eager onlookers even more excited!
"I don't know what happened, but I suddenly realized something..."
"I suddenly feel a little emotional. Brother Zheng should get along well with Qinghuan. I've been a fan of him for five years, and this is the first time I see him supporting a younger generation like this."
"I couldn't help but shed the tears of an old mother. My brother Zheng finally has friends in the circle. I won't say anything else. Just for this, I will be a fan of Yu Qinghuan for the rest of my life."
…………
Because of Qin Zheng’s Weibo post, Yu Qinghuan’s fans skyrocketed, and combined with the fans she had accumulated before, the number exceeded 10 million in one fell swoop.
Logically speaking, celebrities with more than 10 million or 20 million followers on Weibo would express their opinions in some way. Or send a photo, or an autograph or something. However, Yu Qinghuan’s fans waited eagerly for several days, but Yu Qinghuan’s Weibo remained calm, with no movement at all.
By the end, the fans were in despair.
Although it is a good thing for your idol to be low-key, he cannot be so low-key. Is it okay to post a Weibo occasionally? Can you post a photo? !
If Yu Qinghuan hadn’t posted two or three Weibo posts before, they would have almost thought that this was an empty account.
In desperation, the fans were so powerful that they dug out Yu Xin’s Weibo and urged him to update the film.
Yu Xin didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He handed the phone screen to Yu Qinghuan and said, "Just have some pity on your fans. See? They all came to my Weibo to ask for your photo."
Yu Qinghuan had just finished a photo shoot and was still catching his breath when he heard this: "You took a lot of photos of me and forwarded them to Koi, so just post one."
The crew of "Orange Yellow" resumed work without delay. After the popularity of the drama increased, many investors took the initiative to find Zhao Rui and discuss cooperation with him. Even the venue they are using now was borrowed free of charge by the person in charge.
"Orange" now only has the finishing work left, and the shooting period will not exceed one week. Moreover, judging by the current attention netizens are paying to this movie, it will definitely not be a big flop. It doesn't cost much and it can do Zhao Rui a good favor, so why not do it?
"Fans want to see what you post," Yu Xin said helplessly to him.
He now doubts very much that what he said about taking the cold approach was all planned by Yu Qinghuan. He is obviously just lazy and doesn't want to manage his Weibo account.
"And I saw Qin Zheng tagged you, you should at least forward it, otherwise someone will definitely say you are arrogant."
Yu Qinghuan was stunned and quickly took out his mobile phone, and sure enough, he saw Qin Zheng’s Weibo post.
He frowned, and as he forwarded the message, he felt puzzled. He always felt that there was something wrong with Qin Zheng, as if... he was a little more sharp and impulsive than in his previous life?
If it were in the past, with Qin Zheng's personality, he would never say something like making a dinner appointment on Weibo.
But after thinking about it carefully, Yu Qinghuan felt relieved. The Qin Zheng he knew in his previous life was forty years old, who was definitely different from the thirty years old Qin Zheng.
"Qinghuan! Come over here and get ready!" Yu Qinghuan had just put down her phone when Zhao Rui started shouting at her to urge her to come.
"I'm here." Yu Qinghuan straightened her costume and quickly ran to the set.
As if to make up for the days of suspension, Zhao Rui has become more and more ruthless in the past few days, even shortening the half-time break to ten minutes.
Fortunately, after the explosion, everyone was filled with joy at having survived a disaster. For the first time ever, not only did they not complain about his workaholic behavior, but they even worked hard without complaint.
With such high-intensity work, "Orange" was shot in just three days. The next step is to wait for editing before being reviewed and released.
Because he could save a lot of money on post-production promotion, Zhao Rui had a lot more money on his hands, and he also chose the top editor in the industry. Working overtime, the editing work was completed in just one month.
I don’t know if it’s because of the increased attention, but the review of “Orange Yellow” went very smoothly. On the day he learned the result, Zhao Rui was so excited that he shed tears. He also made an appointment with Yu Qinghuan to drink Erguotou, and set the release date for April 18th.
Because "Orange Yellow" is Yu Qinghuan's first movie to be released, Zhao Qingyuan and Qin Zheng both greeted him in advance and said that they would attend the premiere of the movie.
"Brother Zheng," Chen Ming asked him before leaving, "Why are you so nice to a little star?"
"Okay?" Qin Zheng paused slightly as he was tying his tie, and asked back with a faint expression.
"Isn't this good?" Chen Ming counted on his fingers, "It's not enough that you helped him gain fans on Weibo, now you even want to go to the premiere of his crappy movie."
You know, many actors and directors have spent a lot of money but still couldn't hire this person.
"What do you mean by a small, broken movie?" Qin Zheng's sharp and deep eyes fixed on Chen Ming, "Any movie is the result of the hard work of the director and actors..."
Before he finished speaking, Chen Ming started yelling, "Look, look! I just said something casually and you defended me."
Qin Zheng was stunned and frowned in confusion.
Logically speaking, he and Yu Qinghuan had only met twice. Although he had some feelings for him, he didn't have to defend him like this, right?
"Maybe I owed him in my previous life." Qin Zheng said jokingly, opened the door and walked out.
The premiere of "Orange" was very successful. Zhao Rui was not good at speaking polite words. He finished his opening remarks hastily and started showing the movie directly.
Most of the people present thought that "Orange" would be a movie that was too heavy to watch carefully, but when they gradually got into the mood, they found out that they were wrong.
Although the theme of "Orange and Yellow" is very heavy, its focus is not on this, but on healing.
Zhao Qing'an, who was injured both physically and mentally, was finally able to face himself and walk out of the shadow of the past with the comfort and encouragement of his brother Zhao Qingping.
In this film, what is touching is not only Zhao Qingping's protection of his sister, but also the Zhao family's warm neighborly love, the love of Zhao Qing'an from teachers and classmates at school, and even the concern and comfort from doctors and judges.
In this short one hour and forty minute movie, the beautiful feelings between people are expressed at all times through various details.
It is sour and sweet, sweet and cruel, and deeply touching.
Yu Qinghuan's performance is natural and smooth, and all kinds of emotions are portrayed vividly, which can easily bring the audience into the play. Wang Ruirui’s performance was also remarkable, especially her interaction with Yu Qinghuan, which made people’s eyes tear up without realizing it.
The movie ended, but no one spoke. It was several minutes later that thunderous applause broke out in the theater.
After more than three months of hard work, it finally came to an end here. Both Zhao Rui and Yu Qinghuan breathed a sigh of relief.
Now we just have to wait and see the audience’s reaction after the film hits theaters.
Just as Yu Qinghuan was about to get up and turn on the light, Zhao Qingyuan's choked voice suddenly came to her ears: "Qing, Qinghuan... did you bring tissues?"
Yu Qinghuan turned her head in astonishment, just in time to meet Zhao Qingyuan's eyes which were red and swollen like walnuts.
Yu Qinghuan: “…”
Well, now he really didn't know whether he should be happy or disgusted.
"Do you think I would hide a tissue?" Yu Qinghuan raised an eyebrow, stretched out his hand to pull his head down, and threatened: "Hurry up and adjust your state, otherwise you will be photographed by the media and see what you will do."
"I don't want to either!" Zhao Qingyuan was still choking, "I wouldn't have come if I had known, it's really..."
Yu Qinghuan wanted to help him get out of the emotions affected by the movie, and deliberately joked: "If it really doesn't work, just wipe your tears with your sleeves."
"You think I don't want to?" Zhao Qingyuan glared at him, "But my clothes are from a borrowed brand, and I have to return them later, hey."
Yu Qinghuan: “…”
Does this person really want to do this? !
Finally, the media finally captured Zhao Qingyuan crying while watching a movie, and they seemed to have found a hot topic. They reported it extensively after returning, which added some publicity to "Orange and Yellow".
After accepting interviews from the media and thanking Qin Zheng for his congratulations, Yu Qinghuan collapsed into a chair exhausted after all the premiere guests had left and let out a long sigh of relief.
After a short break, he was about to ask Zhao Rui what other plans he had, but someone suddenly sat next to him. He glanced at him casually and was so shocked that his back straightened up. "Huo Qu, why are you here?"
He suspected that his eyesight was dazzled by the movie and even rubbed his eyes childishly.
Doesn’t Huo Qu go to bed on time at nine o’clock? It's already past two in the morning! What is he doing here?
"I'm here to watch your movie." Huo Qu held his cold hands in his palms and warmed them with his body temperature.
Yu Qinghuan was puzzled: "Why haven't I seen you?"
Huo Qu smiled shyly, "I'm behind you. This is your important time, I can't disturb you." He paused, looked seriously into Yu Qinghuan's eyes, and said, "Qinghuan, congratulations, I'm really happy for you."
Yu Qinghuan was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Who taught you to say this? Your second brother?"
Huo Qu shook his head, "No."
"Then why would you say such a thing?" Yu Qinghuan didn't believe it, and, "Do you understand what the movie is about?"
"I don't understand." Huo Qu shook his head honestly. When Yu Qinghuan laughed again, he said word by word: "But this doesn't stop me from being proud of you."
He said, "It's very simple! Just like when I present a paper on stage, you may not understand it, but it doesn't matter, because I know you will be happy for me. Right, Qinghuan?"
Yu Qinghuan was silent for a long time before he suppressed the emotions surging in his heart and said, "I will."
"Then...then if I stand on the stage next time, can you wait for me downstairs? I want you to watch me."
"Why?"
"Because...I want you to be by my side when I'm important."
