Chapter 59 Chapter 59 Why is my wife so greedy? ...
Chen Zhuo rarely spoke so bluntly. Every time she wanted to do it, she would tease him intentionally or unintentionally. As soon as their eyes met, he knew what she wanted to do.
Shao Chengzhang pinched her chin and kissed her. Her lips still had a hint of wine, sweet.
"Drinking?"
Shen Zhuo nodded.
"You didn't go out drinking with some guy behind my back because you felt sorry for me—"
Chen Zhuo stood on tiptoe and bit his chin, interrupting him, "What are you thinking about!"
Shao Chengzhang patted her back and said, "Let's go take a shower first?"
Chen Zhuo said okay, then let him go and went to the bathroom.
She kept thinking of Zhao Jiayu's red eyes and her choked voice, which cut into her heart like a blunt knife. For the first time, she wondered if she had been wrong. She had given someone hope, only to have it vanish into thin air.
Chen Zhuo stood under the shower, tilted his head back, and the hot water poured down his forehead, sliding down his cheeks, along with the tears in the corners of his eyes.
What made her sad was not only Zhao Jiayu's termination of the contract, but also her words.
She was shocked to realize that what Zhao Jiayu said might be right. She was subconsciously afraid and lacked courage, and she had to find a bunch of high-sounding reasons to convince herself and others and disguise her weakness.
Her constant claims of not wanting to delay actresses were merely a way of avoiding failure, an excuse to avoid the consequences. Did bringing Guan Siyu to the status of Best Actor mean she would choose new female actors in the future? She found herself unable to answer the question.
Zhao Jiayu was absolutely right. She was a double-crosser. She wanted to maintain her idealism, yet refused to let go of her selfish calculations. She blamed the market and capital for being unfair, yet at the same time, she became a cog in the system.
She felt guilty towards Zhao Jiayu, but more deeply, she was disappointed in herself.
It turns out that I am such a person, cowardly and hypocritical.
Chen Zhuo couldn't explain why, but he just wanted to cry. His eyes were still red after he came out of the shower.
Shao Chengzhang didn't say anything, just helped her blow dry her hair.
After blowing her hair, Chen Zhuo pushed him down on the bed and knelt on him. She didn't want to think about anything now. She just wanted the physical pleasure to dilute the psychological sadness.
She held his face and kissed him, but Shao Chengzhang didn't move, not even closing his eyes.
Not getting the response she'd imagined, Shen Zhuo hugged his shoulders, pressed herself against him, and rubbed against him, letting him feel everything about her. Soon, she could sense his desire, but Shao Chengzhang remained motionless, simply gazing deeply at her, letting her tease him. This was completely unlike him before.
"Don't you miss me?" Her voice sounded a little aggrieved and a little pitiful.
"I do." Shao Chengzhang said in a low voice, "But I want to know more about what happened to you today."
Shen Zhuo let go of him and retorted, "I'm fine."
Shao Chengzhang said: "Your eyes are still red."
Chen Zhuo lowered his eyelashes to cover the red circles under his eyes, "The shampoo got into my eyes just now."
"Chen Zhuo." Shao Chengzhang suddenly became serious. "If you don't want to tell me, you don't have to, but don't lie to me with such a clumsy lie."
Chen Zhuo paused, then said hesitantly, "I'm sorry, I'm really fine."
How could she say it? She couldn't even articulate it herself. There were no substantive issues to resolve, just a tangled mess of emotions that she could just process on her own.
She got off him, opened the quilt and lay down. She closed her eyes as if she was going to sleep, but a tear spilled from the corner of her eye and flowed from her temples to her temples.
After a while, I felt a warm touch at the corner of my eye.
Shen Zhuo opened her eyes and found Shao Chengzhang leaning on his elbows and looking at her tenderly.
"Why are you crying, huh?" Shao Chengzhang's voice was soft. He took her hand and kissed the back of her hand again and again.
Chen Zhuo didn't cry. She felt better after crying in the bathroom. It was simply because her tear glands were well developed and she often shed tears for no apparent reason. It had nothing to do with emotions.
She turned over and leaned into his arms, her face against his chest. Shao Chengzhang took advantage of the situation and stroked her back, patting it gently, like coaxing a child.
I originally thought that those emotions had temporarily passed, but after being coaxed by him like this, it was like something was poked at me, and a feeling of grievance surged up.
Her eyes became hot again, and she couldn't help but shed tears silently.
Shao Chengzhang didn't ask this time, but just told her: "Sometimes, I really hope you can need me and not have to bear everything by yourself. But if you want to talk about it, it's okay. Just know that no matter what happens, I will be there."
After a while, Chen Zhuo spoke with a heavy nasal tone: "Shao Chengzhang, the artist I signed before told me that he wants to terminate the contract..."
Shao Chengzhang listened to her quietly.
"...Actually, when I think about it carefully, she seems to be right. I always thought I was very principled and persistent, but today I realized that I am not the person I thought I was."
"Isn't this wonderful?"
"What's good about that?" Chen Zhuo was a little annoyed. He pushed him away and raised his head, only to meet his focused and gentle eyes.
"You know, it's rare for someone to genuinely reflect on themselves after being accused, rather than defending themselves or fighting back." Shao Chengzhang's eyes held no disdain, but rather admiration. "The fact that you can admit your own contradictions and weaknesses shows you're more clear-headed than you think."
"But being awake is useless. I'm now wondering if what I did was right. What if there are people like Zhao Jiayu in the future?"
"There will definitely be one. Because not everyone can be like Bu Fan, but you can't stop doing it just because of this."
Because it's impossible for everyone to be Bu Fan... Yeah, if only one Best Actor or Best Actress is chosen each year, does that mean other actors aren't worth cultivating? If a project loses money, does that mean everyone's efforts were wasted? Of course not!
Shao Chengzhang looked at her with a calm and rational gaze. "You've fought for her and worked hard for her. You've already taken on the responsibility you should have. The rest is her own life lesson, which she must learn to face. It's not up to you to be responsible for her."
He reached out and gently pinched her fingertips. "And your considerations are not unreasonable. You also said that the resources of the entire film and television industry are still tilted towards male artists, so it is normal to gain a firm foothold first and then promote change."
"So you can think about the problem from a different perspective. If you're dissatisfied with the current allocation of resources, instead of dwelling on past choices, it's better to look forward and try to discover young actresses with potential, or focus on female-themed content projects to give actresses more performance opportunities. These may become wrenches in your fight against the industry. Remember that every step you take now will only bring you closer to your ultimate goal, so why be sad? Instead, you face yourself and accept yourself, which makes me admire you."
Shen Zhuo pondered Shao Chengzhang's words for a long time, and his thoughts gradually became clear.
She then realized that she had fallen into Zhao Jiayu's trap. She took all the other party's frustration and failure and blamed it on her own decision-making and ability.
She was stuck in a dead end, with self-blame and doubt weighing down on her. The more she thought about it, the more confused she became, and the deeper she fell into the trap. After hearing what Shao Chengzhang said, she now understood that she couldn't use ideal standards to measure the results of reality.
Perhaps in Zhao Jiayu's eyes, Shen Zhuo chose her and then gave her up, leaving her without the results she deserved. But for Shen Zhuo, she had already completed her duties and was not responsible for Zhao Jiayu's life. Every decision was hers.
After figuring it out, Shen Zhuo finally revealed a relieved smile, "I understand, thank you, husband!"
"Please pay the counseling fee." Shao Chengzhang looked at her with a smile.
Shen Zhuo hugged his neck and kissed him on the mouth.
"Is that it?" Shao Chengzhang was obviously dissatisfied.
"Yes, that's it." Shen Zhuo lay back down and looked at him with a smile.
"No, at least it has to be like this--" As soon as he finished speaking, Shao Chengzhang leaned over and asked for a lingering and deep kiss.
Shen Zhuo put his arm around his neck, bringing him closer, chest to chest.
She opened her teeth and stuck out her tongue to respond to him. Shao Chengzhang had already "rejected" her once tonight, and this time he would never let her go again. His lips and tongue invaded her mouth, scraping the inner walls of her mouth, chasing her soft tongue.
The air gradually became thinner and hotter. Chen Zhuo was breathless from the kiss and couldn't help but hum. Only then did Shao Chengzhang let her go.
Chen Zhuo panted slightly, her face and lips were as bright as ever. "Swindler, why are you still offering a one-kiss-get-one-free deal?"
"Who made me so worried about you just now? You didn't tell me anything."
Shen Zhuo said: "Your worries are your business, how can you make me responsible? I didn't make you worry."
Shao Chengzhang raised his eyebrows: "Your brain is really working fast now."
Shen Zhuo chuckled, turned over and lay flat on his back, patted the place next to him, and said, "Okay, let's go to bed."
"Sleep?" Shao Chengzhang squeezed towards her, clamped her chin with his tiger's mouth, pinched her face and said, "You're going to sleep with me at this time?"
Chen Zhuo nodded, eyes wide open and an innocent look on her face. She said, "Yes, it's already past eleven o'clock. Why don't you go to sleep, or do you want to go to work for a while?"
"Who said what to do?"
"What to do?" Chen Zhuo blinked. "I'm talking about psychological counseling. It's already done. Go lie down quickly."
Shao Chengzhang didn't expect her to be so naughty. "Okay, let's do it this way, right?" He leaned closer and said, "Honey, let's make love. Are you clear this time?"
Chen Zhuo's eyes turned: "But I don't feel anything now."
Shao Chengzhang stared at her, and said with a half-smile: "Really? Then let's see if I can make you feel nothing."
Shen Zhuo pushed him away and tried to pull the air-conditioning quilt from his waist to cover himself, but Shao Chengzhang quickly grabbed it and threw it aside. Shen Zhuo shouted, "I'm cold!"
"It's okay, you won't be cold in a while." Shao Chengzhang leaned over and pressed down, his body temperature covering her body, it was hot, it was scalding.
He kissed her again, his palms full of caresses, and her lower back had begun to feel numb.
Shao Chengzhang was too familiar with Shen Zhuo, and he knew all his reactions. At this time, he left her lips, raised his head, stared at her, and curled his lips.
But everything did not go as Shen Zhuo imagined. At this moment, Shen Zhuo was no longer cold. She was hot and wet, but he just kept looking at her. Shen Zhuo bit his lip and frowned slightly.
Shao Chengzhang looked at her like this and chuckled softly, then asked her, "Still no?"
"You...you did this on purpose!" Shen Zhuo tried to push him away, but was caught by his big hands and then held against his chest, making it impossible to move him away. "Shao Chengzhang, don't regret it." Shen Zhuo glared at him angrily.
"Are you anxious?" He raised the corner of his mouth to tease her.
"I'm not in a hurry. I'm afraid that someone else will be anxious." Shen Zhuo turned his head away.
"Really? That's perfect. Tonight is a wonderful night, let's take it slow."
Shao Chengzhang used up all his willpower to endure, wandering around in places where no one could see him, reluctant to leave, but he just couldn't help her completely. Shen Zhuo couldn't stand it anymore and urged him to hurry up.
Hearing her say fast, Shao Chengzhang still remembered what Chen Zhuo said to him in the video last time, but it didn’t matter, she would know whether it was fast or not tonight.
"What do you mean by hurry up? I'm afraid I'll misunderstand again and make my wife unhappy." Shao Chengzhang urged her.
"...Come in." Shen Zhuo whispered softly.
"Hmm? Where do I come in?" Shao Chengzhang held her in a daze. "Tell me, then I'll know."
Shen Zhuo was overwhelmed with shame, but he couldn't help but whisper in his ear and express his desires.
Shao Chengzhang wanted to embed her directly into his body in the next second, but he resisted the urge, and his voice was tense: "Do you want me to use my fingers, tongue, or something else?"
Chen Zhuo raised his leg and placed it on the back of his knee, arching it upwards to stimulate him, and pressed close to him, "I want both."
"Why is my wife so greedy?" Shao Chengzhang stretched out his tone and spoke in a very erotic manner.
Chen Zhuo winked at him with a sweet and seductive look. She smiled wickedly and said, "Who said I don't need you anymore? I need you, right now."
All the blood in Shao Chengzhang's body seemed to be rushing to one place, and he couldn't wait to sink with her.
