Chapter 211 Extra: Past Life (03)
After finishing his performance at Shan Qingshan and changing his clothes, it was already ten o'clock.
"Sorry to keep you waiting."
Zhou Chong noticed dried blood on the side of Shan Qingshan's face, probably because he hadn't noticed it when removing his makeup, and reached out to wipe it off for him.
He paused for a moment halfway through extending his hand.
He pointed and said, "There's something on my face."
Shan Qingshan used his phone as a mirror to look at himself, then found the nearest tap and washed himself.
Zhou Chong, standing behind him, asked, "Is your makeup artist being so lazy?"
"I don't have a makeup artist."
Zhou Chong was taken aback.
Dan Qingshan wiped her face clean, her beautiful face still glistening with water droplets, and her hair was damp, making her look like a lotus emerging from the water.
"I'm not the kind of star you're thinking of; I'm just an extra."
The ground floor of the film studio.
Most people would be a little hesitant to talk about it, but he was neither humble nor arrogant, and remained calm and composed.
Zhou Chong's heart skipped a beat.
"It seems there are quite a few blind directors in the world."
A summer breeze caressed my face, bringing a touch of oppressive heat.
Dan Qingshan lowered his eyes, concealing the fleeting smile that crossed them.
He suddenly changed his mind.
"It's getting late, and I have filming tomorrow morning, so I can't eat too much. How about I treat you to a drink? We can have a late-night snack next time, okay?"
Zhou Chong could not obtain it.
We may meet again someday.
"OK."
Dan Qingshan showed no outward expression, but was inwardly surprised.
Zhou Chong looked nonchalant and arrogant, with a luxury car engine roaring loudly, but surprisingly easy to talk to, even a little... obedient?
Zhou Chong: "Next time or tomorrow?"
tomorrow……
Shan Qingshan remembered what he had just said and felt a pain in his foot.
I'm free tomorrow morning; the filming schedule runs from the afternoon until tonight.
"Tomorrow won't work, but I'll contact you sometime this week."
Zhou Chong: Satisfied.
Shan Qingshan found a convenience store, bought two cans of beer, and leaned against the railing by the bridge with Zhou Chong, listening to the sound of water and gazing at the brightly lit film and television city.
Shan Qingshan asked him, "Have you ever drunk such cheap wine before?"
Zhou Chong answered honestly, "No."
He shook the can.
The clinking of half-empty cans of beer produced a pleasant sound.
"Quite novel."
Upon hearing this, Shan Qingshan tilted his head back and took a large gulp.
He will probably remember this taste forever, the taste of the bottle of wine they drank together.
It becomes an anchor point in our memories.
Thinking of this taste reminds me of him.
Has the car been inspected?
"I checked, it wasn't you."
Of course not.
If Zhou Chong said yes, Shan Qingshan would pour the half-can of beer in his hand over his head.
The phone in his pocket rang. Shan Qingshan took it out and saw it was Brother Sha calling.
Caught off guard, Shan Qingshan made a cut.
Sha Ge's loud voice rang out.
"Teacher Shan, are you still with your beautiful girlfriend?!"
Shan Qingshan's phone wasn't very soundproof, and upon hearing this, he immediately looked at Zhou Chong. The other party had obviously heard it, but gentlemanly pretended not to, turning his head to drink.
But the corners of his mouth turned up.
Shan Qingshan's face was burning hot.
"Don't talk nonsense."
"I'm talking nonsense? You complimented her on her looks when you were at home, and you even—"
Dan Qingshan was afraid he would say something astonishing, so he quickly interrupted him.
"Shut up!"
Sha Ge understood immediately, and whispered, using a breathy tone.
"Where is it?"
"..."
Are you coming back tonight?
Dan Qingshan closed his eyes, suppressing the urge to punch someone, and squeezed out a sound through gritted teeth.
"Return."
Sha Ge exclaimed incredulously, "Going back?"
It's so late, let's find a hotel and go home!
"..."
A soft chuckle came from the side.
Dan Qingshan's face burned with rage. He cursed under his breath and hung up the phone.
He tried to cover it up by saying, "My roommate is talking nonsense."
"I understand, there's been a misunderstanding."
Dan Qingshan breathed a sigh of relief, then took a large gulp of wine, his mouth dry, but he still couldn't swallow it.
He placed the can on the railing, took out his cigarette case, and asked Zhou Chongjie if he minded. Zhou Chongjie shook his head, so he took a cigarette and put it in his mouth.
He took out a lighter and struck it several times before a flame appeared, illuminating Shan Qingshan's face.
Zhou Chong felt his heart skip a beat.
My throat is a little itchy.
"Give me one?"
Shan Qingshan handed him a cigarette and a lighter as well.
I tried several times but failed.
Shan Qingshan simply took his cigarette, held it between his fingers, and brought the scarlet cigarette butt close to the cigarette Zhou Chong was holding.
Although they weren't actually smoking together, there was a hint of ambiguity between the two people who had only met yesterday.
Zhou Chong's breath hitched for a moment.
Dan Qingshan's voice was icy cold. "Take a drag."
Zhou Chong instinctively obeyed and took a drag.
The cigarette butt dimmed, then glowed a bright scarlet light before dimming again.
"Take another drag."
Zhou Chong took another drag.
The cigarette butt lit up and then went dark again.
Like a beating heart.
As Zhou Chong lit his cigarette, it felt as if his heart was also ignited.
My gaze was unconsciously drawn to Shan Qingshan. I stared at him and the more I looked, the more I felt that his bone structure and appearance were perfect.
A natural talent.
Every inch of it was perfect to his aesthetic sensibilities, every inch was exactly to his liking, absolutely perfect to his liking.
Shan Qingshan put away his cigarette, caught Zhou Chong's gaze, and was slightly taken aback.
Zhou Chong wasn't embarrassed at being caught; instead, he curled the corners of his mouth into a smile.
"Teacher Shan."
Using the form of address he had just heard, his tone was gentle yet teasing.
Shan Qingshan's heart skipped a beat.
He used an ambiguous way of addressing her, something that had always been a proper form of address.
Zhou Chong asked, "Is it true that you say I'm good-looking?"
Dan Qingshan was somewhat at a loss, his hand holding the cigarette trembled, and the ash fell to the ground.
He opened his lips before finding his voice.
"Um."
"It seems I suit your taste quite well."
Shan Qingshan's heart leaped into his throat, and he tried his best to ignore Zhou Chong's ambiguous smile.
He smoked with his eyes downcast.
Hiding her frantic heartbeat.
Zhou Chong laughed and dismissed the previous comment with, "This cigarette is alright."
"I didn't expect you, a young master, to be able to smoke so much."
How did you know I was the eldest young master?
"car."
He finished two cigarettes.
Zhou Chong stubbed out his cigarette. "It's getting late, get some rest. I'll be waiting for your midnight snack."
"Um."
When Shan Qingshan returned to his rented room, Sha Ge was lying on the sofa, smiling at him with ill intent.
Did you kiss?
Dan Qingshan ignored him and poured himself a glass of water.
"Why do you smell of smoke?" Sha Ge, with his dog-like nose, said, "You're smoking in front of a girl?"
"Not a girl."
Sha Ge choked, "You're going out with your brothers?"
grass!
You got excited for nothing.
Sha Ge, losing interest, flopped onto the sofa.
After thinking about it, I suddenly realized something was wrong.
"Why are you having late-night snacks with a guy? Do you need me to recommend something?"
Shan Qingshan choked.
"You still have that same expression."
Shan Qingshan glanced at him, waiting for him to continue, to explain, and what kind of expression he had.
Sha Ge lay sprawled on the sofa, "We've known each other for so many years, I could spot even the slightest twitch in your facial muscles. You were clearly looking forward to it. For a guy like you..."
As if struck by a thought, Sha Ge gradually sat up straight.
You like men?!
Sha Ge noticed the blank expression on Shan Qingshan's face and his reddened ears.
Sha Ge, who was merely testing the waters, instantly received solid evidence.
Sha Ge asked incredulously, "When did you become gay?"
Sha Ge was horrified and reflected on himself, "I didn't lead you astray!"
Sha Ge suddenly thought of himself, "Damn! Then you can live with me, you..."
Shan Qingshan immediately denied it, "No!"
Not even for a second!
Shan Qingshan replied decisively, "No!"
"I understand." Brother Sha's eyes were teasing. "You just love him."
"..."
Shan Qingshan blushed and fled to his bedroom.
Sha Ge persisted, "What's your name? When did you fall in love? I have no idea! Show me a picture."
Shan Qingshan simply closed the door and refused to answer.
Sha Ge's nose was almost flattened by the door.
He leaned against the door, threatening in a cheeky tone, "If you don't tell me, I'll follow you."
There was no movement inside.
"I'll help you confess your feelings."
The door opened with a "whoosh".
Shan Qingshan's entire face turned bright red.
Haha!
Fresh!
"His name is Zhou Chong, and there is no photo of him."
