Ninety-four:
Ji Qingzhou listened to his gentle assurance, thought of what he had just said to Luo Yuxin about himself, and asked, "What did you pay back?"
"Nothing else, oh. I told him that you are not my canary. This method is not good for your reputation. I was afraid that he would go out and do something stupid, so I corrected him. I also told him about the whereabouts of the 30,000 yuan. I couldn't help it. Whenever I thought about him knowing that his design failed and losing 30,000 yuan, and he gave all the 30,000 yuan to you, I felt very happy. I really wanted to tell him, so I couldn't help it."
Ji Qingzhou heard this and said softly, "So you denied our relationship for the sake of my reputation?"
Chu Cheng hugged him and kissed him. "Nothing happened between us originally." He said softly, "You have a good image, pure, clean and youthful. If a scandal about your sponsorship spreads, it will affect your image."
Ji Qingzhou looked at him, not knowing what to feel for a moment. He nodded without saying anything.
Chu Cheng felt that he seemed to be in a bad mood and asked, "What's wrong? Are you still unhappy?"
"No," Ji Qingzhou forced a smile at him, "I just feel like you seem to be at a disadvantage. You always take me into consideration and think about me. You give me resources and money, but I don't seem to give you anything."
"What are you talking about?" Chu Cheng didn't like the forced smile on his face and pinched his face. "You've been with me for a year. Doesn't this year cost money? Besides, I really like the time I've been with you. This is what you've given me. Money can't buy my happiness. I'm happy to be with you, so it's worth it."
He looked at Ji Qingzhou and patted his shoulder. "Okay, don't think about it. Just keep playing. I brought you out here to have fun today. Don't let irrelevant people affect your mood. It's not worth it."
Ji Qingzhou nodded, stood up, and walked towards the pool table with him.
The two of them played outside for a while and returned home after dinner. Ji Qingzhou was a little tired, so he went to bed right after taking a shower. The next day, Ji Qingzhou went to shoot a magazine cover. During the break, Zhou Chengfeng told him, "'A Page of Love Poems' is about to be aired."
"When?" Ji Qingzhou asked.
"From what producer Jiang said, it should be around mid-August, and the promotion period will begin in the next few days. This drama is a web drama, so most of the promotion will be online, and the workload is not too heavy."
Ji Qingzhou nodded, "I understand."
He looked at the calendar on his phone. There were only two days left until his birthday. He had already blocked this date out, and all he had to do was ask Chu Cheng to block it out as well.
Ji Qingzhou talked about this with Chu Cheng before going to bed at night. He lay on Chu Cheng and asked him, "Do you have time later? I want to go sing with you."
Chu Cheng put his arm around his shoulders and thought, "Later?"
Ji Qingzhou nodded. He originally wanted to celebrate his birthday with Chu Cheng, but he felt embarrassed to do something on his birthday, so he wanted to go sing.
Chu Cheng was a bit busy these days, so he asked him, "Does it have to be later? Is the weekend okay?"
"I think later."
"Then I'll go with you after work?"
"Have you been busy lately?" Ji Qingzhou asked him, "I want to go with you in the daytime. I have plans for the evening. Can you move your work to the next day or the next day?"
Chu Cheng heard this and felt that he probably wanted to sing with him, but he was afraid that it would affect his work, so he postponed it to give him some time to adjust. He thought Ji Qingzhou was quite considerate, "Okay." He said, "I'll adjust my work."
Ji Qingzhou was instantly happy, lowered his head and kissed Chu Cheng, "Thank you."
Chu Cheng hugged him and kissed him for a while, then said softly, "You're welcome."
On July 6, Chu Cheng did not go to work. Ji Qingzhou and he slept until they woke up naturally. They stayed in bed for a while before getting up. He planned to eat dumplings at noon. The reason was very simple. He wanted to cook with Chu Cheng, and this was the only meal Chu Cheng could help cook.
As soon as Chu Cheng heard that he wanted to eat dumplings, he guessed his intention, "You did this on purpose, you wanted me to help you."
Ji Qingzhou admitted generously, "I want to cook with you. If you can cook something else, we can change to something else."
This really put Chu Cheng in a difficult position. Since he was a child, apart from responding to his mother's New Year's call and learning how to roll dumpling skins, he had rarely even entered the kitchen, let alone cook.
