Chapter 20 Brother Lives with Me
Qi Nian rubbed his eyes and for a moment thought he had seen it wrong.
He actually saw his elder brother!
Chu Rongshi didn't know if he had also noticed his gaze, and his eyes looked over and finally landed on Qi Nian's face.
Qi Nian's skin was pale, and he had just rubbed his eyes hard, so now his eye sockets were red. He looked at him with his deer eyes, as if he had been wronged and looked pitiful.
Chu Rongshi couldn't help but think of the circle of friends he saw yesterday.
Just as he was lost in thought, he saw Qi Nian running towards him in small steps, his voice trembling with excitement: "Brother!"
Chu Rongshi smiled rarely and said "hmm" in a low voice.
The other person has a handsome appearance, and usually looks a bit unapproachable. For a person like this, even the slightest smile can be very impactful.
Qi Nian was feeling dazed when someone poked him on the head. When he turned around, it was indeed his brother.
Chu Tianheng crossed his arms and looked at his brother with dissatisfaction: "Are you really that happy?"
Qi Nian covered his forehead and complained that his second brother was so childish.
As a result, Chu Tianheng, who seemed to have dog ears, became unhappy immediately and stretched out his hand to pinch Qi Nian's face.
How could he not avoid this thought? It would be fine at other times, but today his brother was here!
If his brother still got pinched on the face when he asked, wouldn’t his brother have come here in vain?
Qi Nian immediately jumped up and down like a frightened little sheep, and quickly hid behind Chu Rongshi, and took the opportunity to complain: "Brother, the way my second brother pinched my face is exactly the same as the way he strokes a dog!"
He remembered this incident for a long time!
Humph, finally he got the chance to complain.
Chu Tianheng, who had a fierce look on his face just now, couldn't help laughing out loud. Even Chu Rongshi lowered his eyes to hide the smile in his eyes.
Unfortunately, Qi Nian was behind Chu Rongshi and didn't see it. In his eyes, only his second brother, that bad guy, was laughing at him.
But he was so depressed.
Chu Rongshi coughed lightly and said at the right time: "Don't always bully him."
After listening to it, Qi Nian said: "I am so happy.jpg"
Chu Tianheng finally stopped laughing and wiped his tears, saying, "Am I bullying him? It's mainly because my brother is too funny."
Qi Nian curled his lips and, relying on Chu Rongshi's presence, glared at his second brother.
Chu Tianheng didn't bother with him. Well, just let his brother be proud for a while.
Anyway, Big Brother won’t always be here.
Qi Nian didn't know what his second brother was thinking, so he asked Chu Rongshi curiously, "Brother, why are you here?"
Just now he really thought he was dazzled and recognized the wrong person.
However, given his brother's temperament, appearance and figure, it is basically impossible to make a mistake about him.
Chu Rongshi sat on a wooden chair from the crew. The chair was quite old and even had paint peeling in some places, but at this moment it felt like a work of art.
Qi Nian asked as he attentively poured a glass of water for his brother.
Chu Rongshi found it funny, took the water and took a sip under Qi Nian's gaze.
Qi Nian was immediately happy, and then he heard Chu Tianheng say, "How can you be so partial? Am I not your brother?"
So, at Chu Tianheng's explicit suggestion, Qi Nian poured the other party another glass of water, and only then was Chu Tianheng satisfied.
Qi Nian wanted to say that his second brother was really childish.
Chu Rongshi explained the purpose of his visit. It turned out that he was on his way to inspect a project and happened to pass by here, so he came to see them.
"So that's how it is." Qi Nian held his chin and asked, "So, brother, are you leaving soon?"
Chu Rongshi: "Well, we'll leave in the afternoon."
Qi Nian felt a little disappointed when he heard this, but he wasn't surprised. His brother was so busy, it was good that he could spare some time to come over.
Although he felt lost, Qi Nian's attention was soon diverted.
Because he heard that they would have hot pot and barbecue for lunch today!
Qi Nian was so surprised, it felt like Chinese New Year and she could actually have such a delicious meal!
He subconsciously looked at Chu Rongshi: "Brother. Have you seen my circle of friends?"
Chu Rongshi did not deny it.
Qi Nian instantly felt bubbles of joy bursting out of his chest. Of course it wasn't just because of the hot pot and barbecue, but also because he just casually posted something on WeChat Moments and someone actually made it happen for him.
This was something he had never experienced before.
Even though his brother just stopped by, it was enough to make him particularly happy.
After a while, Director Qian Lai arrived. Of course, he had heard of Chu Rongshi's name and greeted him very warmly.
Finally, he asked Chu Rongshi if he was interested in investing in the drama.
Qi Nian's mouth twitched as he listened at the side. He realized that Director Qian Lai really wanted to grab all the resources.
In fact, his second brother only played a cameo role and did not need to stay in the crew for so long.
However, after knowing that his second brother did not want any remuneration, Director Qian Lai pulled the poor screenwriter overnight and forcibly combined the roles of several minor characters and gave them all to his second brother.
He could already guess what Director Qian Lai was thinking.
Qian Lai: Haha, I save another money.
Of course Qian Lai couldn't get what he wanted this time. Both Chu Rongshi and he were smart people, so there was no way he could fool them.
Moreover, the script and actors of this drama have nothing. Chu Rongshi is not one of those investors who knows nothing. He never looks at people, but only at what they can offer. How could he invest in something like this?
But Director Qian Lai was quite happy. As long as he could have a say, next time he really planned to shoot, he would go to find Chu Rongshi. With this experience, he would have a reason to beg for help next time.
Qi Nian was amazed by what he saw.
All I can say is that there are reasons why some people are successful.
But that was not something he could worry about because it was time for lunch.
This was the fastest time that Qi Nian ran. Even though the hot pot barbecue required several people to gather together to eat, it didn't make him feel uncomfortable.
Besides, there were several acquaintances sitting at the table.
Chu Rongshi is very thorough and can make sure everyone in the crew has something to eat.
But there were too many people, so we had to sit at several tables, some of which were borrowed from kind villagers.
The people at their table were all familiar to each other, but maybe it was because of Chu Rongshi's presence, but today these people who usually talk a lot were unusually quiet.
Qi Nian thinks this is a good idea. Just eat your meal seriously. How great!
I haven't seen Qi Nian for half a month, and he hasn't changed much. He still stuffs his cheeks full when eating.
He just kept his head down while eating, as if no one at the table had the delicious food in front of them that was worth his attention.
Qi Nian ate a little too fast and accidentally ate a Sichuan peppercorn. His mouth felt a little numb, so he subconsciously went to find some water.
The next moment, a glass of water was pushed to him from both sides.
Qi Nian glanced at the two glasses of water in front of him, then looked at Chu Rongshi on his right. The latter lowered his eyes and ate elegantly, as if he had just done it casually.
Looking to the left, Chu Tianheng was an artist after all, so he stopped eating after not eating much. He was now leaning back in a chair, holding a mobile phone in one hand, and looking at him: "Drink."
Before Qi Nian could even feel touched, he heard his second brother teasing him, "Your mouth is about to swell into a sausage."
Qi Nian was so angry that he deliberately refused to drink the water given by his second brother. He took another glass of water and took a big gulp.
Chu Tianheng laughed: "Why don't you drink mine?"
When there are many people around, Qi Nian would always lower his voice subconsciously: "I'm afraid you'll poison me."
Chu Tianheng: "Puff..."
Although he said this, he still drank the other glass of water afterwards.
This time the hot pot finally satisfied their cravings. Some people couldn't control their appetites and as artists they accidentally ate too much. They couldn't help but feel a little annoyed. They had to do more push-ups when they got home and crushed the others.
But most of them didn’t eat much, especially Chu Xiangfeng and Zhang Rourou.
The former seemed to have a poor appetite, while the latter looked absent-minded, as if something was on his mind.
But to Qi Nian's surprise, his brother didn't eat much either. Chu Rongshi said he had eaten before he came, and he nodded.
——
In the afternoon, when Chu Rongshi was about to leave, an accident happened.
A rainstorm was coming, and they were located in the mountains. Not to mention the road conditions, if they set out rashly, they might encounter danger.
So Chu Rongshi had to stay temporarily.
Qi Nian sighed as he looked at the heavy rain outside. The weather forecast clearly didn't say there would be rain.
I guess the work there will be delayed because his brother has already gone to make a phone call.
They were not the only ones who were worried. Qian Lai was also worried. Qian Lai stamped his feet, looked at the heavy rain outside, and sighed, "Oh, this damn God!"
He thought about it and quickly called the screenwriter to come over.
I muttered to the scriptwriter, "Please check if there are any rainy scenes later. We can shoot them when the rain is lighter."
Hearing that Qian Lai was still planning to film a movie when it rained, Qi Nian was a little worried, so he went to ask his second brother. When he learned that there would be no female lead in the rainy scene, Qi Nian breathed a sigh of relief.
The others are in good health, so a little rain won't hurt them.
Just as he was thinking about it, he heard his second brother say quietly, "I told you that I have a role to play, and you seemed quite happy?"
When Qi Nian raised his head, he saw his second brother's face which had darkened a bit: "..."
He was in a hurry and didn't pay attention to his second brother.
Seeing that his second brother was about to take action, Qi Nian hurried over. Just then, Chu Rongshi came towards him, and Qi Nian immediately ran behind him.
Because he ran a little too fast, he almost fell down, but fortunately he reacted quickly and grabbed something.
Qi Nian felt that the thing he was holding immediately became stiff. Before he could breathe a sigh of relief, he opened his eyes in confusion and found that he was holding his brother's waist.
Qi Nian raised his head and met his brother's deep eyes. He immediately let go of his hand with a red face, lowered his head, and muttered softly: "It's all my brother's fault for scaring me."
Chu Rongshi just said "hmm", as if he didn't care much. Qi Nian relaxed and was no longer so embarrassed.
Chu Tianheng didn't notice the interaction between the two and complained, "Qi Xiaonian, you were born in the Year of the Rabbit, right? You run really fast."
Qi Nian didn't talk to him, because the other party had just scared him on purpose.
When it was getting dark, the rain had lightened a little, and Chu Tianheng was called to go to film. It was raining, and several assistants followed him, holding something to keep warm in their hands to prevent Chu Tianheng from catching a cold.
Qi Nian originally wanted to go, but when he saw so many people, he didn't follow, not to mention that his brother was still here.
There were a few other people who came with Chu Rongshi, and they were all arranged to stay and rest, but as luck would have it, a few of them had occupied all the remaining empty rooms.
This means that his brother has no place to live.
When Qi Nian heard the news, he said without thinking: "Brother, you can live with me!"
