Chapter 435, Update 435
435:
After inviting Zhong Yan and the others to dinner, Ye Qingxi then invited Huo Zinan and Chen Xiang to dinner as well. Only then did Qin Cheng belatedly realize that he should also invite Li Wen and Zhang Chun to dinner.
He told Ye Qingxi about it, and Ye Qingxi said with a wry smile, "Of course! You two are such good friends, and you're the first among you to get a boyfriend, so you should definitely treat them to a meal."
"When do you have time?" Qin Cheng asked him.
"I'm available anytime, it's up to you," Ye Qingxi said. "My schedule is quite flexible."
Qin Cheng thought for a moment and said to him, "Then let's do it Friday night."
"Okay," Ye Qingxi replied.
The next morning, when Li Wen came to report to him, Qin Cheng said, "We're having dinner together this Friday night, along with Xiao Xi and Zhang Chun."
Li Wen: ? ? ?
"Why?"
Li Wen was puzzled, "Why are we suddenly eating?"
"To celebrate that I'm no longer single," Qin Cheng said.
"Why didn't you invite me before? You've been single for so long now."
Qin Cheng: ...Of course, I didn't have this concept before.
If Qin Cheng hadn't eaten with Ye Qingxi twice, he wouldn't even have this concept now.
"Just tell me if you're going to eat it or not," he said.
“Of course.” Li Wen replied without hesitation. “It’s rare for you to treat me, so don’t worry, I won’t let you off the hook.”
Qin Cheng: ...Is this how you treat your savior?
After speaking with Li Wen, Qin Cheng told Zhang Chun about it.
Zhang Chun remarked with considerable emotion, "I never expected you to find a partner before me!"
Qin Cheng hadn't expected this either.
If it were him in junior high, high school, or even college, he would definitely think that Zhang Chun already has kids running around, and he probably still doesn't have anyone he likes.
Who would have thought that he would be in the lead now?
It means that he and Ye Qingxi can't have children, otherwise Zhang Chun could watch his children run around everywhere.
Qin Cheng couldn't help but show a hint of tenderness when he thought of his child with Ye Qingxi.
Although they can't have a biological child, they can raise a child together in the future, a child like Ye Qingxi.
"What are you thinking about? Your eyes are so gentle." Zhang Chun teased, "You're not thinking about our little Xi brother so early in the morning, are you?"
"You guys?" Qin Cheng looked at him.
"You, you, you." Zhang Chun was speechless. "It's only because Xiao Xi is with you now. Otherwise, if he were to date another boyfriend, I would really worry about his boyfriend."
Qin Cheng: ...How could his brother possibly have another boyfriend?!
It's either him or his brother who will end up with the girl!
other?
Do they deserve it?!
"You should go back to your work," Qin Cheng said.
"What? Are you angry because you're embarrassed?" Zhang Chun leaned closer to his face and teased.
Qin Cheng: "...Or you could skip dinner and stay to work overtime on Friday."
Zhang Chun:! ! !
Zhang Chun: "...As expected of you, your face is truly ugly! I don't know how little Xi could have fallen for you? I really feel sorry for little Xi!"
Qin Cheng: ...
Qin Cheng smiled and said, "I'll finish working overtime on Friday and go on a business trip on Saturday."
Zhang Chun:! ! !
Zhang Chun was so frightened that he turned and ran away without looking back.
Qin Cheng was satisfied and began to look at the documents he hadn't finished reading again.
On Friday, Ye Qingxi picked up Qin Cheng and had dinner with him and Zhang Chun.
On her way back after dinner, Ye Qingxi received a WeChat message from Li Wen.
Li Wen asked him, "Do you have an answer to that question now?"
Ye Qingxi smiled; he knew perfectly well which question Li Wen was referring to.
He said: [E: Other]
Li Wen asked curiously: [Others?]
Ye Qingxi: [Yes, I have a place I'd prefer, a place that's more suitable for both of us.]
Of course, it's only suitable for the two of them.
Li Wen smiled upon seeing his answer and replied, "It's good that you have an answer. It's what you hoped for."
Li Wen: [May your hopes come true.]
Ye Qingxi: [Yes.]
After several meals, the temperature didn't even drop.
When the autumn rains fall, the lingering warmth of summer will be gone forever.
Qin Cheng finally had the chance to wear the trench coat that Ye Qingxi had bought for him.
Grandpa Feng finally flew back from S City.
Ye Qingxi went to pick him up and asked with concern, "How is Great-Grandpa's health?"
"It's alright," said Grandpa Feng. "It looks like there's nothing wrong."
Aristotle, being led by the driver, nuzzled affectionately against Ye Qingxi's legs.
Ye Qingxi bent down and patted its head, then got into the car with it and Grandpa Feng.
He bought trench coats for Mu Feng and the others, but not for Old Master Feng; instead, he bought them thin sweaters.
As people get older, they naturally become more sensitive to the cold than younger people.
This thin sweater is just the right size for Grandpa Feng to wear right now.
Grandpa Feng couldn't help but laugh as he watched.
He wore this thin sweater when he went to Mu Feng's house for dinner the next day.
Just then, Feng Que and Mu Shaowu also came to eat, wearing the clothes that Ye Qingxi had given them.
Grandpa Feng said, "Now that we're inside, take off your coat."
Mu Shaowu wanted everyone to see the loving trench coat his son had bought for him, so he said, "No rush."
Grandpa Feng hurriedly revealed his grandson's thin sweater, saying, "You should take it off."
“It’s such a hassle to take it off now and then put it back on later,” Feng Que chimed in.
Grandpa Feng: How can I show off my thin sweater if I don't take it off!
So Old Master Feng took off his coat first, regardless of whether they took it off or not, and quietly showed it off himself.
Mu Shaowu and Feng Que did not take off their trench coats, and displayed them discreetly.
Mu Feng: ...
Mu Feng picked up the book and started reading silently, feeling that the three of them were all incredibly childish.
When Ye Qingxi returned after picking up Qin Cheng, she saw in the living room that her grandfather was wearing casual clothes, her father and stepfather were wearing trench coats, and her great-grandfather was trying to get her grandfather to look at her thin sweater.
Ye Qingxi: ...I always feel like his return was ill-timed.
Soon, autumn turned to winter, and Ye Qingxi gave everyone new coats.
Seeing Qin Cheng finally take off the trench coat he should have taken off long ago, Zhang Chun sighed, "So you've finally decided to change out of your precious trench coat?"
Qin Cheng looked up at him.
Zhang Chun teased him, "I thought you were going to wear this forever! Why didn't you continue? You're feeling cold now?"
"Xiao Xi gave it to me." Qin Cheng pointed to the coat that he had neatly folded and placed to the side.
Zhang Chun:? ? ?
Zhang Chun: ...He was wondering why he finally changed his clothes. Turns out, it was Ye Qingxi who gave him the new clothes!
Zhang Chun clasped his hands in a fist salute to him, saying, "I admire you."
Qin Cheng smiled and said, "He also said he would give me a down jacket."
Zhang Chun: ...That's enough, bro. Look at you, you're worthless.
Is this some kind of rare thing?!
Is it really worth it for a potential CEO to be laughing like this?!
Zhang Chun, having just eaten a mouthful of dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection), barked and left.
At this time, Ye Qingxi's film was finally almost finished with post-production.
He wasn't in a rush to release it, but instead planned to wait until the summer season.
He didn't have to wait long. When the plum blossoms in the yard faded and the roses bloomed again, summer was almost here.
That summer was exceptionally hot.
While having the editor cut the trailer, Ye Qingxi hoped that his movie would be as popular as this summer.
However, this is difficult. Many suspense films are critically acclaimed but not commercially successful, and some are not even critically acclaimed.
Ye Qingxi hoped that he could at least call one.
He would be satisfied with either critical acclaim or box office success.
He released two trailers first, and then released the official release date announcement.
The release of this trailer caused an immediate sensation, for no other reason than that Mu Shaowu finally made his appearance in this trailer.
For Mu Shaowu, a former top star who won numerous awards before retiring from the entertainment industry, he is a living white moonlight in the hearts of fans and a cinnabar mole in the hearts of passersby.
Therefore, when everyone saw him again, they couldn't help but exclaim: "Mu Shaowu!!! It really is Mu Shaowu!!!"
I hadn't seen him in the previous trailers, so I thought he didn't have much screen time.
Me too, I thought he was just making a cameo appearance for a few minutes to support his son.
However, this trailer alone doesn't necessarily mean he's not just making a cameo appearance for a few minutes, right?
[Yeah!!! Are there any Ye Qingxi fans who can give us some spoilers? How much screen time does Mu Shaowu actually have?]
Ye Qingxi fans: ...
Even Ye Qingxi's fans themselves don't know.
After all, this is an original script, and no script has been leaked.
"But there should be quite a few," Ye Qingxi's fans whispered in the group chat. "We've already invited Teacher Mu, we can't just let him make a brief appearance, can we?"
[Besides, since Mu's father loves his child so much, he definitely wouldn't just make a brief appearance.]
A fan tagged their own wealthy fan, Xi Zai's dad, saying: "[Cyber Dad, what do you think?]"
Mu Shaoyan hadn't used Weibo for a long time, and when he did, he saw this post among his many posts on Weibo.
He recalled that his brother had been filming intensively for a month. Not only that, when he visited the set, his brother proudly showed him how thick his script was.
Therefore, Mu Shaoyan replied: "It's definitely not a simple cameo, don't worry."
Everyone: ? ? ?
Seeing how certain he sounded, the others asked doubtfully, "Cyber Dad, do you... have connections?"
Mu Shaoyan thought to himself, "Of course."
However, he didn't show it, instead saying: "It's easy to guess. It's rare for father and son to collaborate again; how could it be just a simple cameo? You know, this might be Mu Shaowu's last film appearance."
Upon hearing this, the fans immediately felt that it made perfect sense.
Hopefully, Teacher Mu and Xiao Xi will also achieve excellent results this time.
This time, Ye Qingxi has once again set the release date for July 6th, hoping to continue the success of the previous film.
Unlike the previous installment, this one features Mu Shaowu, so he doesn't have to be stopped by Ye Qingxi at the beginning, as was the case in the previous one.
Upon seeing the release date announcement and trailer, he quickly reposted it and posted on Weibo: [A second collaboration with Xiaoxi, only this time Xiaoxi is the director, awesome!]
Netizen: ? ? ?
Netizen: ...Well, you finally manage to post a Weibo, and the first thing you do is praise your son!
Look at that arrogant tone, tsk tsk tsk.
Teacher Mu must be very happy; Xiao Xi is a director now.
[Not just a director, but a very talented and promising new director!]
He's sure! Look how smug he is!
[Mr. Mu, have you forgotten? This is movie promotion, not director promotion. You're promoting the movie, not your son!]
[Haha, there's not much difference. Promoting the director is just promoting the movie, right?]
[And didn't he also retweet the movie's release date announcement trailer? [doge emoji]]
As everyone was talking, Feng Que retweeted this Weibo post.
Feng Que: [As expected of my son! Fantastic!]
Mu Shaowu: ? ? ?
Mu Shaowu: [Whose son?]
Feng Que quickly slid to his knees: [Your son! Your son! He's truly wonderful, worthy of being my wife and your son!]
Mu Shaowu was satisfied: [Fine, he can be considered your son, though.]
Feng Que: [As expected of my wife, she's so handsome and kind-hearted!]
Netizen: ? ? ?
Netizens were both amused and exasperated: "Director Feng, you really do go online the moment your wife goes online! [facepalm]"
[Absolutely! My Weibo account is usually completely inactive, but now it's flooded with several posts!]
[That's how our Director Feng is; the only ones who could lure him out are his wife and son~]
Is that his son? [Funny]
[Hahaha, a stepfather is still a father! How can he not be!]
[Of all the cyber-adult dads, only our Director Feng has successfully risen to the top! Not only does he have a national son like Xiao Xi, but he also has a great partner like Shao Wu. It's truly enviable!]
[Director Feng – A true winner in life!]
The fans of the Phoenix and Wutong couple never dreamed that they would wake up to new sweet moments!
Since Feng Que and Mu Shaowu retired from the entertainment industry, the sweet moments between them are not something you can find with a magnifying glass, but rather with a microscope!
Now, you don't even need to pick it out; it's just put directly into your mouth!
The fans of the Phoenix and Wutong couple went on a food spree, and soon they were trending on social media.
So much so that when Ye Qingxi woke up, she saw that her father and stepfather were trending on social media.
Ye Qingxi clicked on it with a puzzled look, then laughed.
It has to be said that his stepfather and his father have been together for so many years, and they are still quite sweet together.
Ye Qingxi retweeted Mu Shaowu's Weibo post and replied: 【Dad, you're amazing too! You're the best actor in the world!】
Then she retweeted Feng Que's Weibo post, saying: 【And my daddy, the best director in the world!】
Feng Que: [It might be now, but it might not be in the future, Director Ye.]
Mu Shaowu also replied: 【That's still not as good as my son. My son won an award for his very first film!】
Ye Qingxi couldn't help but laugh again.
Netizens, seeing this, couldn't help but express their envy, commenting: "What a wonderful family atmosphere!"
Damn it, when I was a kid, I watched Xiao Xi and I was so envious of how he and his dad got along. Now that I'm all grown up, I still watch Xiao Xi and I still envy how he and his dad get along!
[It's no wonder Xiaoxi succeeds at everything she does. If I had a dad like that, I'd be willing to work hard too!]
Xiaoxi is so lucky!
[Teacher Mu is so lucky! How many people in the world are as beautiful, cute, and considerate as Xiao Xi? As a child, she stood on the stage of the Golden Phoenix Award Ceremony at the opening ceremony of the World Championships. As an adult, she became the top liberal arts student and entered one of our top two universities. After graduation, she became a director and became a sensation again, a director whose first film grossed 3 billion!]
I'm not worthy!
[That's why Teacher Mu and Xiao Xi are practically family! It has to be the two of them!]
[And what about Director Feng? Don't forget our Director Feng!]
It is the phoenix perched on the parasol tree, and also the phoenix bathing in the sunlight on the parasol
[If you ask me, why bother making movies? Let's just record a family variety show! I think it might be even more popular than a movie!]
Ye Qingxi: ? ? ?
Ye Qingxi: ...Then let's watch his movie first.
