one two three:
Chu Cheng pinched his face and said, "Actually, if you want to be independent and open a studio, that's fine too."
"There's no need for that. I'm doing well in Xiyu and can help your brother make money. When I make more money, maybe he'll like me more."
Chu Cheng laughed, "You are my boyfriend, I just like you, why do you want him to like you?"
"Because you already like me," Ji Qingzhou said frankly, "so I want the rest of your family to like me too, so that they won't stop us from being together."
Chu Cheng hugged him and said, "Don't worry, I told my family about my sexual orientation a long time ago. They already knew about it and hoped that I would find someone to accompany me, so they won't make things difficult for you."
"That's true, but it would be better if you could like me more."
"So what did Sheng Wenxi return?"
"A lot, and he seems to be a little doubtful about our relationship. But I don't know our real relationship, we are just friends. I think he is a little bit teaching, he seems to think he wants to do good for me, but I don't want his kindness. In the past few days, he watched me filming on the set, and every time I got off the set, he wanted to talk to me and asked me again, 'So you don't want to play Ah Heng now?' I have answered him many times, and I know very well that compared to artistic pursuits, I hope I can be fine. But he always thinks that I can try to overcome it."
Ji Qingzhou sighed, "So I am sometimes very tired. Filming is already very tiring, and after filming I have to keep explaining to him. He wants to talk to me, and I can't refuse. Sometimes after filming a scene, I want to take a break, because he is there, so I can only keep my spirits up. He is a big director, and the crew won't say much to him, but they will unconsciously look at me more, thinking that I am taking advantage of him and that I don't know how to cherish it. Kong Yan also told me to cherish the opportunity. He has been so humble and waited for me for so many days, I should have agreed long ago. But I don't want to agree. I obviously don't want to act, and I know it very well. Why do you keep asking me?"
Ji Qingzhou couldn't understand. "I rejected it thoroughly and gave him reasons. It doesn't make sense that if others are willing to sacrifice themselves for art, I should also sacrifice myself for art. I have my own thoughts and opinions. Why can't you listen to my ideas? Why does he only want me to listen to his ideas? Don't my words have any value at all? Otherwise, I have said it so many times, I am almost like a repeater. He should understand it. Why does he still ask me, let me overcome it, let me challenge it? What if I can't overcome it, fall in love with the actor in the play, break up with you, immerse myself in Ah Heng's painful and tangled inner thoughts, and die in the middle of the road, will he collect my body for me?"
"What nonsense!" Chu Cheng scolded, "Pah, pah, pah, spit it out quickly."
Seeing him frown, Ji Qingzhou quickly pouted three times, "I didn't mean to do that, I just..."
"There is no such thing as just that." Chu Cheng interrupted him, "Your acting career is up to you. You can act the roles you want to act, and if you don't want to act, it won't matter if it's Sheng Wenxi or his father. Next time he comes to you, just tell him to come to me. You dare not offend him because of his status, but I don't care. I want to ask him, why does he have to ask you to overcome yourself? Can't he overcome himself and change actors?"
"It's not like you took the initiative to want to play Ah Heng. He invited you and asked you to overcome it. Why didn't he overcome it himself? If overcoming something is so easy, shouldn't he do it himself first? If it's not easy, and he can't do it, what qualifications does he have to ask you to do it? Don't do it for artistic pursuits. If he wants to pursue art, no one can stop him, but why should he drag you into it? If you don't want to do it yourself, why should you risk your life to pay for his art? Don't you need to respect your ideas? Isn't your danger a danger?"
Ji Qingzhou listened to his words and couldn't help but applaud him, "Why didn't I think of your methods? Otherwise, I could have asked him directly. Maybe he would understand. You are really awesome."
"That's why you usually don't pass me by."
"Won't I be better than you?" Ji Qingzhou still remembered the fruits of his recent victory, "Empty-nest elderly? Love transaction?"
Chu Cheng: ...
Ji Qingzhou looked pleased, "Look, isn't it over now?"
Chu Cheng nodded helplessly, "Yes, yes, you are so amazing, I am not as good as you, I am not as good as you."
Ji Qingzhou couldn't help laughing when he heard his compromising words, "It would be great if everyone could speak as kindly as you."
Looking back now, he felt that it was only Chu Cheng who was like that. If it was anyone else, they probably wouldn't agree when he first came here and couldn't accept the idea of creating a harmonious life together and saying that they should proceed step by step. If it was Sheng Wenxi, she would probably just say to him, "You should get over it," and then insist on going at her own pace.
That's why he always trusted Chu Cheng the most, because Chu Cheng was the only one among so many people who kept giving in to him from the beginning. He knew from the beginning that Chu Cheng was giving in to him. So even though Chu Cheng's status and position were higher than those of other people he met, he was not afraid of Chu Cheng and dared to show off in front of him without any scruples. Because he knew that Chu Cheng would never hurt him.
