Chapter 22 Hanging on him like a koala and not getting down.
Zhou Jinbai thought that he was rational and restrained in his feelings towards Su Li, even though he had fallen in love with Su Li a long time ago. After she divorced Zhou Zexi, he took the initiative to fight for her, but after fighting for her without any result, he could calm down and give up on Su Li.
He is such an old man. What would it be like if he was still like a young man in his twenties who couldn't let go of things?
He had always believed this and had never doubted his own rationality and calmness, but he never imagined that one day he would become so crazy because of jealousy.
Su Li said that she didn't like Zhou Zexi anymore, but he was her ex-husband after all. When he thought about how Zhou Zexi had treated Su Li like that before him, his heart seemed to be cut open by a knife.
Pain and discomfort he had never experienced before surged up from the bottom of his heart. The soft fragrance in his arms was someone he had touched before, so how could he bear to give her to another man?
Even if the other person was his son, his mind would be distorted by jealousy. This was totally inconsistent with his usual way of doing things. But this fact really happened, and he tortured Su Li while she was sleeping because of jealousy.
Hearing her sobbing in his arms, her words breaking down under his kisses, he felt a little better.
After calming down a little, he began to hug her and comfort her. He sat on the bed. Su Li was still sniffling while hugging him. Zhou Jinbai touched her face and reached out to turn on the bedside lamp. The sudden light made Su Li close her eyes involuntarily, but Zhou Jinbai saw the moisture in her eyes, which had already seeped out.
He stroked the corners of her eyes with his big hand. Su Li slowly opened her eyes. Her beautiful lychee eyes were extremely innocent. She looked at Zhou Jinbai's expression and look in confusion.
Zhou Jinbai held her thin back with one hand and wiped away her tears with the other hand. Seeing her crying because of him, he felt both pain and pleasure in his heart.
His rough fingertips stroked the corners of her eyes, from the corners of her eyes to her slightly parted lips, "So beautiful."
He couldn't help but sigh. No matter when he looked at Su Li, no matter what state she was in, he couldn't take his eyes off her.
Her skin was slightly pink at the moment, probably because of him, otherwise it would usually be glowing white.
It seemed that Su Li was still in the aftermath of what had just happened. Although it didn't cause him the pain he felt the first time, he could still feel being strangled.
Su Li sobbed for a while before looking into his eyes and asking, "Did anyone offend you?"
Zhou Jinbai shook his head, "No."
Su Li was puzzled. "You're treating me like this even though I didn't? Are you taking your anger out on me?"
Zhou Jinbai knew he was being a little outrageous, so he held her in his arms and patted her thin back, "I'm sorry, Litchi."
Su Li blinked blankly, said nothing, and rested her head in his arms, feeling better.
Zhou Jinbai held her and turned her over, letting her lie on the pillow and also put a pillow under her waist. Su Li was a little scared.
"Zhou Jinbai."
Zhou Jinbai nodded.
"It will be ready soon."
Su Li felt very sore below her abdomen.
"you……"
Before she could finish her sentence, Zhou Jinbai went deeper without saying anything and lowered his head to bite her rose fruit.
The originally light-colored rose hips turned into a slightly rose-red dark color under his lips.
Su Li thought, Zhou Jinbai was acting weird tonight, what happened?
He didn't say anything, so Su Li could only ask him not to leave any marks on her.
Zhou Jinbai left a deep kiss mark near her rose hip, as if he thought that in this way he could mark her as his.
Su Li felt really uncomfortable later, and resisted him and kicked him, but Zhou Jinbai persisted to the end.
This was an unprecedented experience. Zhou Jinbai didn't know what to make of it, but Su Li was seriously injured.
Fortunately, the kissing scene was filmed with a time delay, otherwise she would have overslept and would not know how Huang Sijing would scold her.
After waking up, she could still feel the soreness caused by Zhou Jinbai last night. She got up and wanted to curse, but found that Zhou Jinbai was not in the bedroom.
Su Li glanced at her phone. Fortunately, it was only a little past eight forty, not yet nine thirty.
She got up and went to the bathroom, then came out to look for Zhou Jinbai, and sure enough, he was in the living room.
Su Li was furious, "Old Zhou!"
Zhou Jinbai was looking at the computer. When he noticed she was awake, he pointed at the breakfast next to her and said, "Awake? If you're awake, have breakfast."
Su Li walked up to him, bent down, cupped his face with both hands and rubbed it for a while, "Were you crazy last night? You used half of the box of condoms I bought? Why didn't you kill me?"
Zhou Jinbai's big hand touched the back of her hand, "I was possessed by a demon last night. Did it hurt you?"
Su Li hummed in dissatisfaction, "It still hurts now."
Zhou Jinbai pulled her into his arms and asked, "Can I give you a massage?"
Su Li, "..."
He sighed, "I feel strange in this state, but don't be afraid, I'm leaving this afternoon."
Su Li's heart skipped a beat when she heard he was leaving. "Won't you stay a few more days?"
Zhou Jinbai smoothed her long hair behind her ears, his eyes cold yet gentle. "I have something to deal with quickly. When I'm not busy, I'll come see you anytime."
Su Li was a little reluctant, "How long will it take for you to come see me again?"
Zhou Jinbai observed her expression for a few seconds, "Do you like me to accompany you?"
Su Li nodded honestly, "I like it."
The corners of his lips curled up slightly, "Then I'll come to accompany you as soon as I finish it. When I'm away, you are not allowed to flirt with any man."
Su Li tutted, "Uncle Zhou is so overbearing. He treats me as his property?"
Zhou Jinbai didn't refute, "It's mine for now."
Su Li groaned, "I didn't promise to be yours."
Zhou Jinbai asked softly, "Last night you cried and told me that you only loved Uncle Zhou. Was that a lie?"
Su Li blushed at what he said, "How many of the things we said in bed are true? Who told you to treat me like that?"
Zhou Jinbai calmed down and said, "Don't have any contact with Zhou Zexi. Since you don't want to remarry, keep your distance from him."
Su Li finally realized, "You went crazy last night, didn't you? Was it because of your son?"
Zhou Jinbai didn't say anything. He held her hand and played with her slender fingers one by one.
Su Li thought it was really funny, "Are you jealous of your son?"
Zhou Jinbai then looked up into her eyes and said, "I'm jealous of all the men around you."
Su Li was frightened by his blunt words, then she smiled and hugged his neck tightly, "Our Uncle Zhou is losing his composure. I don't like everyone I see, so why are you jealous? And it's inexplicable. But next time when I want something, if you can do this, I will definitely praise you."
Zhou Jinbai's expression softened considerably. "So you're just using me as a soothing tool when you're bored and lonely?"
Su Li frowned, "That's such a harsh thing to say. Wouldn't a bed partner be better?"
Zhou Jinbai, "..."
No matter what the relationship is, at least now Zhou Jinbai believes that Su Li is his, and he will never allow anyone to get involved with her.
Love is selfish, and he is selfish now too. His psychology will become distorted because of this relationship. He has never realized that his possessiveness is so strong.
The kissing scene that Chen Yusheng was looking forward to was postponed. Huang Sijing told him that he had to find a female substitute with a similar body shape to Su Li before he could start filming.
This was the first time Chen Yusheng got angry with the director over a kissing scene. He couldn't understand why he said, "How can a good actor refuse a kissing scene? Besides, it's not a real kiss, just some lips touching, why do we need a body double?"
Huang Sijing was also embarrassed to say that Zhou Jinbai had instructed him to do this. The power of capital is strong in front of anyone. Zhou Jinbai, a capital tycoon, had told him about this in person. How could he not give Zhou Jinbai face?
Zhou Jinbai has made great contributions to society. He is rich and has good character. He is well-known for his reserved and cold personality in the circle. Anything that can make him speak must be no trivial matter.
It’s understandable that Zhou Jinbai likes Su Li and doesn’t want her to shoot kissing scenes.
Huang Sijing saw that Chen Yusheng was about to get angry, so he asked him to calm down. "She doesn't want to do the kissing scene, so I can only ask Mr. Zhang to find a stand-in for her."
Chen Yusheng felt that this was not right. Su Li had not said that before. She was also looking forward to the kissing scene.
He felt Huang Sijing was lying. "Is she unwilling to film, or is someone preventing her from filming? Why is she treating me like a scapegoat?"
Huang Sijing looked at him coldly, "Are you trying to make trouble with me over something like this? You're a veteran actor, and you can't even let this go?"
Chen Yusheng's voice became louder. "It's because I don't treat filming as a joke that I need you to respect me!"
My goodness, as soon as Chen Yusheng and Huang Sijing started quarreling, the onlookers from the crew next door arrived.
Zhou Zexi originally disliked Chen Yusheng because Chen Yusheng and Su Li seemed to have a good relationship.
Chen Yusheng and Huang Sijing were arguing for some unknown reason. Zhou Zexi, looking like he was watching a play, told Zhuo Yu, "Old Zhuo, the weather is getting cold. Some people should go to the hot search for a while."
Not long after, the incident of Chen Yusheng acting like a big shot and scolding Huang Sijing on the set occupied the headlines of the hot search entertainment section. Every dog passing by would curse at him, and only Chen Yusheng's fans were fighting against him, controlling comments... and explaining that this matter was not what everyone thought.
As for who took the short video of Chen Yusheng and Huang Sijing arguing, no one knows.
The video was taken out of context, only capturing the clip of Chen Yusheng swearing, without explaining the whole story.
Local fans of Chen Yusheng, seeing that Chen Yusheng became a hot topic because of his arrogance, specially went to the film and television base to see him, but Chen Yusheng did not show up.
Su Li had no idea that this incident was caused by her. When she returned to the crew, Huang Sijing looked unhappy and Chen Yusheng was nowhere to be seen. She went to Zhang Qingchi to ask about the situation, but Zhang Qingchi waved his hand and said, "Don't mention it. It was all Old Zhou's fault."
Su Li was stunned. "Ah? What did he do?"
Seeing that no one was around, Zhang Qingchi asked Su Li with a cold face, "Zhou Jinbai is your father-in-law? Why didn't you tell me earlier? Old Zhou hid it from me, and you hid it from me too? If this affair between you two is exposed, your career in the entertainment industry will be over."
Su Li told him not to panic, "Zhou Zexi and I divorced a long time ago, but how do you know about my relationship with him?"
Zhang Qingchi felt better when he heard that she was divorced. "Lin Youqin said that, but when did you and Zhou Zexi get divorced? You knew everything before, and you kept it from me? I'm the clown, right?"
Su Li didn't mean to hide it from him. She explained, "The fewer people who know about my relationship with Lao Zhou, the better. Just like me and Zhou Zexi, almost no one knows that he and I were married, so please keep it a secret."
Zhang Qingchi was speechless. "After all this, I'm the only one who's been kept in the dark. I've always considered this old bastard Zhou Jinbai, but he's been hiding things from me."
Su Li didn't know what to say, so she didn't answer. After thinking for a moment, she changed the subject, "Is Old Huang unhappy today? He hasn't been to work yet? Are you guys on strike?"
Zhang Qingchi snorted, "Don't mention it. Chen Yusheng was originally planning to film a kissing scene today, but he was suddenly stood up and told that he couldn't film until he found a body double. He got angry and started a fight with Huang Sijing. I guess they can't film today."
Su Li understood what he said, "Lao Zhou invited Huang Sijing to dinner last night just for this matter. I actually think the kissing scene is nothing, it's not a real kiss, but Lao Zhou still cares about it."
Zhang Qingchi's eyes were full of meaning. "Did you sleep with him? Judging from his expression, I guess you've already gotten what you wanted, right?"
Su Li smiled awkwardly, "Why don't you ask him? Why are you asking me?"
Zhang Qingchi, "..."
Okay, okay, I already know everything without asking, so why are you asking again?
Su Li waited for a long time and saw that no one was working. She was actually happy to be free, but Chen Yusheng was angry with Huang Sijing because of her, so Su Li felt that she should go and take a look.
Chen Yusheng doesn't want to film anymore and wants to terminate the contract. He is discussing with his agent Chu Zhining how to terminate the contract with the crew.
He was furious. "You're making a fool of me. You really think I care about those few coins."
Chu Zhining asked him to calm down. "The penalty for breach of contract is three times the salary. It's not like we haven't encountered this kind of thing before. You've never been angry. What's wrong with you today?"
Chen Yusheng didn't know why, "Don't ask me, I'm irritated by everyone I see right now."
Chu Zhining sighed, "Ah, calm down. This IP has finally released the adaptation rights. Even if you don't give face to Huang Sijing, you have to give face to Lin Youqin."
Chen Yusheng didn't want to give face to anyone. "I want the actress to kiss me in person. I don't want to kiss a stand-in."
Chu Zhining was stunned for a moment, and looked at him meaningfully, "Brother Chen, you are not interested in that actress Su Li, are you?"
Chen Yusheng's fingers froze at this, "What are you talking about? I'm ten years older than Su Li."
Chu Zhining asked, "Since you don't have that intention, why are you angry?"
Chen Yusheng, “…”
Yes, why is he so angry? He has always been a very calm person, how could he make a scene on the set because of something like this?
Is it because others don’t respect him, or is it because of Su Li himself?
Chen Yusheng didn’t know either, he just felt like he was holding his breath.
While arguing with Chu Zhining, there was a knock on the door. Chu Zhining went to open the door and found Su Li standing outside.
Chu Zhining turned around and looked at Chen Yusheng, "Su Li is looking for you."
No matter how angry Chen Yusheng was, he suppressed it a little bit and said, "Come in."
Su Li walked in. "Brother Chen, I heard you were leaving. Why did you leave so suddenly? Who bullied you?"
Chen Yusheng didn't answer. Chu Zhining said, "We clearly agreed to film a kissing scene today, but in the blink of an eye, we were stood up. Who can swallow this?"
Although this was not Su Li's fault, it was caused by Su Li.
Su Li softened her temper and explained to Chen Yusheng, "So it's because of this. If Brother Chen is angry about this, then I apologize to you, okay? Actually, I lied to you before. I have never filmed a kissing scene with anyone. I was not used to it for a while, so I told Huang Sijing about it. He scolded me before he agreed. I didn't expect that this matter would make you, Brother Chen, feel wronged."
Chen Yusheng didn't say anything, his expression was cold and indifferent.
Su Li sat across from him, observing his mood. "Don't be angry, okay? I've already apologized to you. I was wrong. I'll treat Brother Chen to dinner after get off work today."
Chen Yusheng calmed down after hearing this and asked, "Did you really tell Director Huang that?"
Su Li said seriously, "Yeah, I didn't have time to explain it to you. I thought you didn't care."
Chen Yusheng didn't say anything else, and his originally tense expression didn't look so ugly anymore.
Su Li continued, "I was afraid you would think I was useless, so I lied to you and said we had filmed a kissing scene, but in fact, I never had one."
Chen Yusheng then looked up at her and asked, "What are you afraid of?"
Su Li replied, "It's not that I'm afraid, I just feel like I can't kiss someone I don't know well."
Chen Yusheng, “…”
Su Li, "Of course, I didn't say anything to Brother Chen. I'm definitely looking forward to filming a kissing scene with you, but I can't get over it. Brother Chen, don't be angry."
Chen Yusheng let out a long sigh. "Forget it. I'm still young and inexperienced, which is normal. I just had a few arguments with Director Huang. It's no big deal. He probably won't mind it."
Seeing that he was no longer angry, Su Li finally smiled and said, "I'll go and get scolded. As long as you're not angry, I'll treat you to dinner tonight."
Chen Yusheng hummed with a cold face.
Su Li is really busy, coaxing one person after another.
Huang Sijing was also angry and yelled at the crew to replace the male actor. Su Li looked serious and obedient and went to be scolded.
Huang Sijing glanced at her and was too lazy to speak.
Su Li apologized to him, "I'm sorry, Director Huang, it's all my fault. Please don't be angry with Brother Chen."
Huang Sijing sneered, "This is the first time I've seen an actor who dares to lose his temper with me."
Su Li knew that this matter was caused by Zhou Jinbai, so she had to put on a stern face to appease him.
Huang Sijing's anger subsided a little when he heard her soft, playful and lively words.
He didn't mention Zhou Jinbai to Su Li on purpose, but just told her not to worry about it, to take a day off today, and to go back to work tomorrow when everyone was in a better mood.
Seeing that he was no longer angry, Su Li said goodbye to him with a smile. Huang Sijing looked at her retreating figure for a long time before he sighed, "No wonder she could make someone like Zhou Jinbai fall for her. I can't even handle her coaxing behavior."
I have met many actresses, but none of them is as friendly and cute as Su Li.
Zhou Jinbai was about to leave, and Su Li took the opportunity to take another look at him.
When she got home, she hugged Zhou Jinbai and refused to let go. Zhou Jinbai was working, and Su Li hung on him like a koala.
"Uncle Zhou is really amazing. He stirred up a lot of trouble and stayed out of it, making me have to deal with it all."
While Zhou Jinbai was typing on the keyboard, he inadvertently rubbed her little head which was resting on his shoulder.
"Who are you trying to appease?"
"Chen Yusheng and Huang Sijing had a fight today about a kissing scene."
Zhou Jinbai found it strange.
"What's the fuss?"
"Who knows?"
Zhou Jinbai stopped what he was doing and hugged him after he finished his work, then stood up like he was holding a child.
"I have to leave in another hour, Litchi."
Su Li wrapped her legs around his slender waist and whimpered against him in dissatisfaction.
"No, I won't let you go."
Zhou Jinbai held her hips with both hands and carried her back to the bedroom. She felt like a clingy kitten now.
"Why don't you let me go? You don't like me."
"Why not?"
"Do you like my performance in bed?"
"Guess."
"That person definitely doesn't like me, little greedy cat, you're really good at eating people. Uncle will let you eat him one more time, or you won't cry for the rest of your life."
