162:
Lian Jingxing: Obviously, not yet.
Ji Qingzhou looked up at him silently, feeling that his senior brother was so miserable. He lowered his head and sent a cheering expression to Lian Jingxing, who responded with a good boy.
Ji Qingzhou put away his phone and was about to talk to Chu Cheng about this matter, when he saw Chu Cheng staring in one direction. He followed Chu Cheng's gaze and saw Yao Xiuyuan and Ying Nian sitting together. Ying Nian was lowering his head to reply to WeChat messages, while Yao Xiuyuan was chatting with Shao Yong while helping Ying Nian pick up some dishes and putting them on the plate in front of him.
When he finished talking to Shao Yong, he turned around and saw Ying Nian was still replying to WeChat, so he took his phone directly and said, "Let's eat first. Why are you still busy working during the New Year?"
"We as actors don't have the custom of celebrating the New Year," Ying Nian did not argue with him and explained in a good-tempered manner, "It's normal to celebrate the New Year on the set."
"You're not spending the New Year on the set now, so eat first. Your agent isn't going away anyway, so it's okay to reply to her later." After he finished speaking, he put Ying Nian's phone on his own.
Yingnian had no choice but to put down his work and start eating.
Ji Qingzhou watched their interaction, then looked at Chu Cheng who was frowning silently, touched him, and asked him, "What's wrong with you?"
"I think Yao Xiuyuan's attitude towards the year is a little abnormal." Chu Cheng whispered.
Ji Qingzhou thought for a moment, "Is everything okay?"
Chu Cheng snorted coldly, "I've known him for such a long time, and he has never picked up food for me. If it was Yu Anming, it would be fine, but Yao Xiuyuan doesn't have the nerve to do that."
Ji Qingzhou: ...
"Is Yao Xiuyuan gay?"
"That shouldn't be the case," Chu Cheng was confused. "He had a girlfriend before, so he should be a straight man."
"Could it be because Yingnian is younger than him, so he treats Yingnian as his younger brother?"
Chu Cheng turned to look at him, "Baby, believe me, he doesn't follow the path of a caring brother."
Ji Qingzhou: ...
Ji Qingzhou didn't know what to say, so he had to follow his train of thought: "So, do you think Yao Xiuyuan likes Ying Nian?"
Chu Cheng himself was not sure, "I don't know. I'm not a straight man, so how can I know what these straight men are thinking?"
"Then don't think about it. Maybe we are overthinking it." Ji Qingzhou advised him.
Chu Cheng nodded, "That's the only way. Alas, I hope I'm just overthinking it."
Everyone ate and talked. Since they all drove here, no one drank alcohol this time. When it was almost ten o'clock, everyone realized it was getting late, so they made plans to get together next time and got up from their seats to leave.
Ji Qingzhou said goodbye to them. Chu Cheng drove him back home and talked to him for a while before reluctantly going back to his own home.
On the evening of the sixth day of the Chinese New Year, Chu Cheng finally came back from home. Ji Qingzhou prepared his favorite dishes in advance, and the two of them had a pleasant dinner. When he was about to go to bed at night, Ji Qingzhou unexpectedly received a call from Sheng Wenxi. He was a little surprised. Sheng Wenxi had not contacted him for a long time since the last time she had a fight with him. Why would she contact him at this time?
Ji Qingzhou picked up the phone and heard Sheng Wenxi say, "I saw your new movie. It was a good performance."
"Thank you." Ji Qingzhou said.
Sheng Wenxi sat on the sofa and whispered, "I called you mainly to apologize to you."
"Apologize?"
"Yes," Sheng Wenxi said with some emotion. He sighed, "You are right. Many things cannot be overcome by just overcoming them. There is nothing more important in this world than living a good life. The gift of an actor is a double-edged sword. It is a gorgeous crown leading to glory, but also a sharp blade that can stab you at any time. You are right to insist. I took it for granted."
Ji Qingzhou was a little surprised. "I didn't expect you to apologize to me for this. I thought you would stick to your point of view."
"I did insist on my own ideas before, but now, I think you are right. You are very smart and have your own opinions. You are a good actor. I believe that one day, I will see you in a higher position."
"Thanks."
"You're welcome. If nothing unexpected happens, In the World should be shortlisted for some awards this year. You performed well in this drama and the character is relatively well-developed. You should be nominated this time. As for whether you can win an award, it depends..." He paused here.
Ji Qingzhou could vaguely hear him talking to another person on the phone.
"Why are you up? I'm not leaving."
The man seemed to be thinking about something, and Sheng Wenxi said, "No, I was just talking to a friend on the phone about something, and I've already finished the call."
"I have something to do here, so I'll hang up first." Sheng Wenxi said hurriedly and hung up the phone.
Ji Qingzhou looked at his phone, a little confused.
He turned to look at Chu Cheng and said to him: "Sheng Wenxi called me to apologize. He shouldn't have taken it for granted and let me get over it. I was right."
"This is really rare." Chu Cheng said with emotion, "He actually felt that he was wrong and called you to apologize."
"Yeah, I was surprised too. I thought he had to experience this kind of thing himself before he realized he was wrong."
