Chapter 69 When did I start liking...

Xu Qingye looked at the gorgeous fireworks outside the window, his mind gradually returned to normal. He turned to look at Shen Que who was driving, and asked him with a frown.

"If I really rejected you just now, what would you really want to do to me?"

Xu Qingye found it difficult to utter those words, and swallowed them back when they came to his lips.

"I'm just trying to scare you. No T."

"Is this the main reason?" Xu Qingye was a little annoyed. In the past, Shen Que always looked like a leading man: handsome, with a good figure and great acting skills. In short, he was pleasing in every way.

Now he seems to be just an ordinary man, vicious and lustful!

"That's not the main reason. If you really did that, you might have run away completely. Besides, it's happier when both parties are willing. I can still tell the difference between eating all the time and eating every now and then."

Shen Que glanced sideways at Xu Qingye, and chuckled at his furious look. He found that teasing Xu Qingye in a deliberately mean way was quite interesting. Xu Qingye was surprisingly innocent.

"You'd better think so."

Xu Qingye didn't want to argue with Shen Que about something that didn't happen. He leaned his arm on the window and looked at Shen Que seriously. In the past, when he looked at Shen Que, he couldn't be sure of his happiness or sadness even if he was smiling. But looking at him now, he was clearly pursing his lips without any curve at the corners of his mouth, but he just knew that Shen Que was very happy.

Shen Que became vivid in his eyes. He was no longer the hero in the book, but a living person.

"Is it okay for me to look at you like this? You're almost seeing two holes in me."

Xu Qingye's gaze was fixed on him, and it was hard for Shen Que not to notice it. After being stared at for ten minutes, Shen Que felt a little embarrassed. Being looked up and down by Xu Qingye's gaze made him feel more nervous than kissing.

"When I look at you now, your halo is gone. You are just a handsome ordinary person. I used to think you were a potential superstar, but now you are just a man."

Xu Qingye changed his posture. Shen Que was pretty good without the halo. He was someone he could really hold in his arms.

Shen Que didn't say anything, so Xu Qingye continued to ask. Shen Que was a talkative person to begin with, and this was a rare opportunity so he had to ask everything that he had been holding back recently.

"When did you start liking me? What do you like about me? You can't just be attracted by my face, right?"

Xu Qingye looked in the mirror. The face given by Xu Hong was pretty, but only average in the entertainment industry. Shen Que looked at his own face every day, so it was probably difficult for him to be attracted by other people's looks.

"Very early."

Shen Que only said two words, and Xu Qingye suddenly became interested.

"How early is too early? We have only known each other for about half a year. You can't possibly like me the first time we met."

Shen Que stopped talking again, just glanced at him sideways, as if in tacit agreement.

Xu Qingye found it a little unbelievable.

"You didn't fall in love with me at first sight, did you?"

Xu Qingye recalled the past when he had asked Shen Que to share a house with him and had to force him to sleep with him, and he felt like jumping out of the car.

"I don't know. Actually, there is no specific time point. At first, I just thought you were interesting, and then slowly I wanted to have you. I was unhappy when I heard you were with someone else. I was also unhappy when I saw you post photos of other people on your Moments. I was even more unhappy when I heard you praise others. Come to think of it, you have never posted me on your Moments."

Xu Qingye could hardly count the number of people who had posted on his Moments, but Shen Que had never seen him.

"I have posted it before. I was afraid people would take screenshots so I set it to be visible only to myself. Next time I will set it to be visible only to you."

Xu Qingye felt a little embarrassed, and Shen Que was a little surprised. He stretched out his hand to Xu Qingye, and Xu Qingye understood and handed the phone to him.

Shen Que clicked on Xu Qingye's circle of friends, and after scrolling through a few posts he saw himself. He kept scrolling through the posts and there were quite a few, including some of his own photos and some with two people. The earliest one was from when he was a minor actor in the film and television city.

There was no special caption on the photos Xu Qingye posted. They were almost just a record of time and place. The only caption was the photo of the two of them taken on the day Shen Que graduated.

【A day when you become an adult. 】

After reading Xu Qingye's circle of friends, Shen Que returned the phone to him, and the smile on his face could no longer be hidden.

"You've liked me for a long time, right? This is just like an elementary school student's secret crush."

Shen Que was in a good mood and drove a little faster.

Xu Qingye denied it stubbornly. He was just afraid that if Shen Que became famous in the future, someone would use it to make trouble for him.

The car turned into Biyun Villa, and Xu Qingye was stunned as he looked at the surrounding scenery.

"Didn't I ask you to take me home? Why are you back here?"

"It's closer here."

Shen Que answered casually, pretending not to notice Xu Qingye's disdainful look.

As soon as he entered the room, Xu Qingye ran to his room. Shen Que followed him and wanted to go in but was stopped by Xu Qingye.

"What? You let me in before, but now you don't allow me to go in?" Shen Que wanted to fight for it, but Xu Qingye shook his head firmly.

"No, I was too naive and thought too highly of you before. Now you've been exposed. Don't come into my room casually, at least not before you become my permanent employee."

"Then when can I become a regular employee?"

"You can become a regular employee when you win the Best Actor award. That's all I ask of you."

Xu Qingye brought Shen Que home just to witness him becoming the best actor step by step. It would be nice to take this as a requirement for his permanent position.

Shen Que had an unpleasant expression on his face. He took out his phone and did some searching. It usually took about ten years for an artist to become a Best Actor. Some gifted artists also won the title as soon as they debuted. Shen Que felt that he was lucky to have already won the title, so it was probably impossible for him to become a Best Actor in the short term.

"The internship period is not that long. Three or four months will be enough." Shen Que hugged Xu Qingye's waist and rested his chin on his shoulder, acting coquettishly.

"I will decide your internship period based on your performance. Now go back to your room."

Xu Qingye pushed Shen Que out of the door. Before Shen Que could say something, the door was already closed and at the same time, there was the sound of a lock being locked.

Shen Que shook his head helplessly. Xu Qingye was on guard against him.

Back in the room, Shen Que was not sleepy at all. He sat in a chair and recalled the kiss just now. People still need to fall in love. Although the feeling of a forced kiss was not bad, it felt better when Xu Qingye took the initiative.

Shen Que was still savoring the memory when his phone suddenly rang. He clicked on it and saw that several of Xu Qingye's small accounts had updated messages mentioning him.

Quo Ye: It’s another day of close star-chasing. Here’s the latest Shen Que. His singing has improved! @沈确. [Pictures in Nine Grids]

······

Shen Que felt mixed emotions as he read the Weibo messages. On the first day of his internship and romance, Xu Qingye was actually still in the mood to work.

Xu Qingye didn't know what Shen Que was thinking, so he started editing the pictures frantically as soon as he locked the door, because Shen Que had delayed him for quite a while, and the bosses were all waiting for his feedback. Fortunately, several bosses only wanted the original pictures, so Xu Qingye's work was easier.

After finishing the filming and editing various videos, Xu Qingye breathed a sigh of relief. He opened Weibo and looked at the hot searches for tonight. All of them were very exciting. Shen Que's performance was really not mentioned by many people, but there were also some straight shots of his singing.

Xu Qingye had previously applied for a super topic for Shen Que, and now many people have joined. Xu Qingye went in to share some photos, and someone immediately left him a message.

Are you sure it's you: Madam, were you sitting in the front row? I was sitting very close too, so maybe we had met. Madam, you took great photos, please keep producing them.

Plankton: Our Shen Que seems to have gotten a lot darker, but he's also more handsome!

······

Xu Qingye scanned the messages, reminded everyone to sign in for data collection, and then logged out of Weibo. As soon as he logged out, Shen Que sent him several messages.

Shen Que: Go to bed early. Do you need a sleeping companion?

Shen Que: Good night. Do you really not need me to accompany you?

Shen Que: You are not allowed to go online anymore, get off the Internet now!

······

Xu Qingye threw his computer aside, took a set of clothes and prepared to wash up, then looked at Shen Que's message and replied to him.

Xu Qingye: Yeah, good night.

Shen Que felt bored after seeing Xu Qingye's perfunctory reply. He always felt that tonight shouldn't pass so dullly, but unfortunately Xu Qingye just wouldn't listen.

Shen Que didn't know what time he fell asleep. Anyway, he was woken up by Zhao Wen's phone call early in the morning. He still had half a month of special training and had to leave today. He looked at the time and Xu Qingye was probably not awake yet. Shen Que felt a little regretful. They wouldn't see each other for a long time, so he should say goodbye properly.

Shen Que came out of the room and saw Xu Qingye busy in the restaurant. He rubbed his eyes in a daze. According to Xu Qingye's habit, he would not wake up until at least noon.

"You're up now, have breakfast. I bought it downstairs, so don't complain."

Xu Qingye still lacked the talent for cooking. He wanted to fry an egg for Shen Que but failed, so he had to buy ready-made ones.

"Why are you up so early?"

Shen Que walked over and hugged Xu Qingye from behind, rubbing him affectionately. It felt so good to see his lover as soon as he woke up, and it would be even better if they could wake up together.

"I have to see you off if you want to go out, otherwise the house will be empty again when you wake up. But can you please stop being so clingy and sit down to eat quickly?"

Xu Qingye was taking out the breakfast he had bought and arranging it on a plate when Shen Que hugged him and he was completely unable to move.

"Next time we come back, let's go on a date. Dating is necessary for romance."

"It's better for us to keep a low profile. If you really want to go out and play, you can call more people. It's definitely not convenient to go out alone."

Xu Qingye thought about it and realized that it was actually very troublesome to fall in love with a celebrity. You couldn't go on dates normally, and you rarely met them. Most of the time, the artist's partner would bear more pressure, so many artists would choose the staff around them to be their other half. A large part of this was also due to work reasons. Only by being with the people around them could they have some contact time.

It is impossible for Xu Qingye to always be by Shen Que's side, as he also has his own career to take care of. Fortunately, Shen Que is also a part of Xu Qingye's career, otherwise they would have even less time to spend together.

"Then watch a movie at home. You don't have to go out."

"That's fine, let's talk about it when you have a holiday."

Xu Qingye responded, checked the time with Shen Que, and carefully wrote the three words "date day" on his diary. Shen Que looked at the words he carefully wrote and smiled with satisfaction.

The nanny car arrived downstairs, Xu Qingye sent Shen Que to the door, and before Zhao Wen got out of the car, he quickly stepped on the ground and kissed Shen Que on the lips.

"Kiss bye."

Xu Qingye waved to him, and Shen Que wanted to kiss him back, but Zhao Wen had already come over to get his luggage. She glanced between the two of them and smiled, showing that she understood instantly. This kid Shen Que still had some ability to take action.
