In the evening after work, Han Cheng received a call from Han Yu, asking him if he wanted to have dinner together.

Han Cheng didn’t refuse. He packed up his things and met Han Yu in the private elevator again.

“Will you go home on the 31st of this month?” Han Yu asked him.

“No,” Han Cheng said. “Our family is not as focused on New Years. Wait for the Chinese new year and I’ll go back then.”

Han Yu nodded, “Do you already have plans on New Year’s day?”

Han Cheng: …

Han Cheng thought about it and replied, “Spend time with friends.”

Han Yu looked at him and said in a subtle tone, “Oh~ the recipient of the cage?”

Han Cheng: …

“If you don’t open your mouth and keep it closed no one will mistake you as a mute!”

“So it’s true” Han Yu looked at him. “Did you send the cage or not? I’ve taken a fancy to several. Do you want it? I’ll place an order for you for free.”

Han Cheng: …

Han Cheng doesn’t want to talk to him anymore.

He said, if Han Yu weren’t opening and closing talks with the cage, would he have a subtle sense of familiarity with the cage?

Too horrifying!

Han Yu teased him a few more words. Seeing that he stopped talking, he didn’t continue to tease – after all, it’s not good to really anger him.

“Well, remember to go home early this year.”

“I know.”

“If you have a boyfriend, remember to tell your family as soon as possible, especially me – your dear gege.”

Han Cheng: ha, ha, ha, wait. If I really have a boyfriend one day – I will tell you last my detestable gege!

The two had dinner together. Han Cheng went home and prepared to leave work early on the afternoon of the 31st to receive Shen Qingshu.

Shen Qingshu has similar thoughts as him, although he has never intended to ask Han Cheng to visit.

But since he started filming, Han Cheng came to visit him every week, his heart was shaken. He wanted to go back, so Han Cheng didn’t need to toss around so much.

He looked at his schedule, took advantage of the break to go to the director and discussed with him, “Can you not arrange any scenes on the morning of New Year’s day? I have something to do and want to take a half day off.”

Li Dao saw his hopeful expression. Then he thought that he had never asked for leave since filming started. Bai Xuege, Su Luo, and even Qiao Ying and Sun Xuan would ask for leave for other activities. Shen Qingshu stayed in the crew all the time and went to work on time every day.

He himself liked Shen Qingshu very much because of his good acting skills and serious filming attitude. At this moment, seeing his polite tone, he didn’t embarrass him. Smiling he said, “Ok, I can not only not arrange your play in the morning, but also in the afternoon. You’ve worked hard during this time. Just have a good rest.”

“Really?” Shen Qingshu was surprised.

“Naturally.” Director Li laughed.

Shen Qingshu quickly thanked him and walked back happily.

He told Han Cheng about it. Han Cheng was a little surprised. How rare is it that Shen Qingshu was so thoughtful?

This scum man transforming?

Finally regained his conscience!

The prodigal son doesn’t waste his money!

Han Cheng was very satisfied, “then I’ll wait for you at home.”

“OK.” Shen Qingshu replied shyly.

“What would you like to eat?” Han Cheng asked him, “You’ve only eaten hotel meals or the boxed meals and takeout of the crew recently. Do you have any home cooked dishes you want to eat? I’ll make them for you.”

Shen Qingshu took the opportunity, Han Cheng rarely treated him as a guest, so he unhesitantly ordered three dishes  on the spot.

Han Cheng wrote it down, “OK, tell me before you get home, I’m good at cooking.”

“Well, gege you are so kind.”

“Well, I’m often moved by the fact that there are good young people like me in the society.”

Shen Qingshu chuckles. Ok, he used newly learned techniques again.

However, his mouth was short,¹ so he didn’t say anything. He chatted with Han Cheng more and hung up happily.

Han Cheng ended the conversation with him, turned around and sent a message to the group chat: [Alas, there’s no way. In order to spend the new year together, he has to run all the way about. It’s troublesome for him to ask for a leave as he has to get the director’s approval. I said it’s not necessary, I can just drive there and he doesn’t have to ask for leave. As a result, he stubbornly asks for leave and come back by himself. It’s too sticky.]

Yin Mingyao: […]

Zhou Jinming: […]

Wu Yang: [it’s so sweet and lovely. Xiao Shen didi is really cute!]

Han Cheng: … Is that the point? Can you read the text and grasp the key points!

Yin Mingyao: [So you two are living together?]

Zhou Jinming: [Wow ~]

Wu Yang: [Envy!]

Han Cheng: ??? Why don’t you get the point? Is this you’re level of reading comprehension?!

Han Cheng: [For the time being, he’s too sticky. I can’t help it. Alas, it’s too annoying.]

Zhou Jinming: [Well, it’s too fan².]

Yin Mingyao: [Fan words and fan language. You’re unwilling to let him  leave, didn’t you press him into living with you? You are obviously enjoying it, but you are too embarrassed and say others are sticky. Isn’t this the definition of fan? You’re fan!]

Wu Yang: [I believe Lao Han is really fan. How can our Han ge, such an independent man, be willing to live with others? He must be embarrassed to refuse, therefore he uses the highest level of fan.]

Han Cheng: ! ! !

Listen! Listen! This is what normal people should say!

From today on, Wu Yang, you are my blood brother!

Han Cheng: [En, alas, what’s fan? It’s really annoying. Zhou Jinming and Yin Mingyao, You don’t understand.]

Wu Yang: [Yes, Han ge, I understand you!]

Han Cheng: [good brother!]

Wu Yang: [So my house is still empty. How about you let xiao Shen didi move here? Don’t worry, I’ll take care of him for you!]

Han Cheng: ? ? ?

Han Cheng kicked Wu Yang out of group chat.

What spicy chicken!

Dare to have ideas on his little super care!

Damn it!

Zhou Jinming: [Hahahahahaha, good brother! Really good brother! A good brother who takes the initiative to take care of his sister-in-law! ]

Yin Mingyao: [Truly, what a good brother.]

With that, he pulled Wu Yang into the group again.

Wu Yang: [Why did you kick me? Aren’t you annoyed? You kicked me, who wants to help you solve your problem. Shouldn’t you thank me?]

Han Cheng kicked Wu Yang out again.

Zhou Jinming laughed again and pulled Wu Yang in again.

Wu Yang: [Kicking me again!! You’re the one who spoke fan words and fan language first! You xiu xiu xiu³ , can you give a single dog a way to live? Is it easy for Mingyao and me to live in this group?!]

Yin Mingyao: [It’s really not easy for us two single dogs.]

Han Cheng: …

Han Cheng: [When did I show off?]

Isn’t he just stating the facts? Well, although some parts are exaggerated a little, it’s only a little.

Wu Yang: [every word you say is showing off! I know you and xiao Shen didi love each other. Xiao Shen didi is sweet and good to you, Ok? Put down the dog’s head knife in your hand! Give the dog a way to live!]

Han Cheng: …

He really didn’t. He really just wanted to improve his status! Create his own new character design!

That’s it!

Alas, Han Cheng feels too tired. What kind of friends are these? They don’t understand his painstaking efforts at all.

What a waste of his carefully edited lines!

Cast pearls before swine! ⁴

Han Cheng sighed sadly. Today’s character design has not been renovated!

On the afternoon of the 31st, Shen Qingshu finished the scene early, took his things and got into the nanny car.

Han Cheng received the news that he was on the way and was ready to get off work.

As a result, as soon as he arrived at the underground garage, he met Han Yu who had just parked his car.

“Are you… leaving early?” Han Yu glanced at him.

“I told you I’m going to celebrate the new year with my friends today.” Han Cheng explained.

“How enviable.”

“If you envy me, you can go to your friends for the new year.”

“They have something to do. Why don’t you take me with you? I know all your friends anyway.” Han Yu smiled.

Han Cheng: … Think beautifully!

“Forget it, I’m afraid they’ll stick to you after seeing you. Besides, how valuable your time is, minutes are worth millions.”

Han Yu shook his head. “Sure enough, after growing up, you began to dislike your brother.”

“Next time.” Han Cheng looked at him helplessly, “I’ll take you next time.”

“Well, have a good time ~”

“You leave work early, too.” Han Cheng said, opened the door and got in the car.

Han Yu looked at him and thought, sure enough, he’s not going to spend the new year with Yin Mingyao. Is he really in love?

Tut, it’s not easy.

Han Yu turned and walked towards the elevator entrance, intending to revisit his cherished little video again.

Once a day, infinite happiness!

Han Cheng went home, changed into his home clothes  and began to prepare to cook.

He had the ingredients bought long ago and now he’s not in a rush.

When Shen Qingshu opened the door and returned to the home he had been away from for a long time, he could smell the sweet and sour pork ribs he liked from the kitchen.

Shen Qingshu puts the gift into his bedroom and tiptoes to the kitchen.

He slowly pushed open the kitchen door and said, “Surprise!”

Han Cheng looked at him in surprise, “Why did you come back so early?”

Shen Qingshu laughed and walked in. “There aren’t many cars on the road at this time, so the journey was smooth.”

He went to Han Cheng and looked at the shrimp he was frying with yearning.

Han Cheng also turned down the heat, took a chopstick and fed it to his mouth, “Taste if it’s salty enough.”

Shen Qingshu opened his mouth and was ready to bite when Han Cheng quickly took back the chopsticks. “This has just come out of the pot and is still hot.”

After blowing twice, he handed the shrimp to Shen Qingshu’s mouth again, “Be careful.”

“Oh.” Shen Qingshu blew at the shrimp and looked at him.

Han Cheng laughed and said, “eat.”

Shen Qingshu took a bite from his chopsticks without hesitation.

“Delicious.” He said to Han Cheng, “Gege, your craft is still as good as ever.”

“Of course.” Han Cheng was very satisfied. He took out a plate and loaded the shrimp on the plate.

“Go and change.” He said to Shen Qingshu, “There’s still another dish. Go and wash your hands and then take out the other dishes first.”

“En.” Shen Qingshu nodded.

He turned and walked out. As soon as he reached the door, he turned back.

Han Cheng wondered, “What’s the matter?”

Shen Qingshu looked at him with bright eyes. He suddenly laughed. Then before Han Cheng could figure out what was going on, he suddenly stepped forward and hugged him.

“Nothing, just give you a hug.” Shen Qingshu said warmly.

He soon released his hands and looked at Han Cheng, who was still a little confused, “Then I’ll go change my clothes.”

Han Cheng nodded silently and saw him go out in a happy mood.

So… Why did he suddenly hug himself?

Shen Qingshu is really… Very sticky!

He thought so, but the corners of his lips turned up involuntarily, and the action of cooking was more cheery.

Shen Qingshu changed his clothes and went into the kitchen to help Han Cheng carry out the dishes.

Soon, Han Cheng finished frying the last dish. Shen Qingshu filled two bowls of rice and they went out of the kitchen together.

“Well, not bad.” Han Cheng put the dishes on the table and sat opposite him.

Shen Qingshu nodded and sat in the chair he normally sits in.

He has been filming for nearly two months. That is to say, he hasn’t stayed in this familiar room for nearly two months. For a moment, he was emotional.

Since he transmigrated, Han Cheng’s home is the place where he has stayed the longest.

He lived here relaxed and happy. Many interesting memories happened here and many of his things are inextricably linked with here.

That’s why he agreed when asked if he wanted to go back to Han Cheng’s house after filming.

Originally, in Shen Qingshu’s plan, he should find a house after filming.

Even now, Shen Qingshu feels that this idea is rational and correct. He has lived in Han Cheng’s house for so long because he didn’t have money before, but now that he has money, he should naturally move away.

But Han Cheng didn’t seem willing. In addition, he was really used to it, so he pushed the idea back.

He didn’t plan to go to someone else’s garage, just wanted to build a garage for himself.

After all, Han Cheng is not his relative. They will always be separated in the future, so he needs a place that belongs to him completely. In this way, he won’t feel unbearable when he leaves in the future.

Shen Qingshu calculated the time. It should be three or four months before the protagonist shou’s appearance. When the protagonist shou appears, Han Cheng’s heart should be moved and proactively end this relationship of car friend’s.

Therefore, he can wait a little first and then look for a house when the protagonist is about to appear.

In this way, when Han Cheng asks him to leave, he won’t feel rushed.

Shen Qingshu thought so. He ate a sweet and sour pork rib, which was full of sweet and sour sauce. When he took a bite, his mouth was filled with fragrance. After eating one, he wanted to eat the next one.

Han Cheng looked at him only eating ribs and helped him pick some other dishes. “Aren’t these your favourite?”

Yes, Shen Qingshu said quietly. He felt dejected at the thought that he would not be able to eat these dishes in the future.

Shen Qingshu decides that he will find a boyfriend who can cook in the future. He should not only be able to do it, but also be willing to do it.

It’s best to be like Han Cheng in terms of craftsmanship, so that he can continue to eat his favourite dishes when he gets home.

He added another request to his choice of spouse.

The two men were eating while talking. Shen Qingshu showed his enthusiasm. After eating a bowl and a half, he finally put down the bowl. “I’m full.”

“Then it’s your turn to wash the dishes.” Han Cheng said cruelly.

Shen Qingshu: …

Shen Qingshu wilted in an instant. The end of happiness was too sudden.

He raised his eyes and looked at Han Cheng, “Then you accompany me.”

Han Cheng nodded, “Ok.”

Anyway, he didn’t have to wash it. He just talked with Shen Qingshu and helped him wipe dry the washed cutlery. “Let’s go.”

Shen Qingshu stood up and took the plates into the kitchen.

Han Cheng wiped the dishes beside him, cleaned up the kitchen and returned to the living room again.

He sat on the sofa and put the freshly washed fruit on the table. Then he asked calmly, “Where’s my gift?”

Shen Qingshu was proud when he heard this, “Wait.”

He went back to his bedroom, picked up the small bag containing the gifts, and walked to Han Cheng with his hands behind his back.

Seeing that he was still hiding, Han Cheng smiled, “So mysterious.”

“Guess what it is?”

Han Cheng thought, “Necklace?”

Shen Qingshu nodded, “Be more specific.”

“What else is there?” Han Cheng wondered, “Oh, did you buy me a scarf, too?”

Shen Qingshu smiled “Hmm”.

He went to Han Cheng and sat down. Then he put the small bag on the table and took out the contents.

The top one is a black scarf, which is very similar to the one Han Cheng gave to Shen Qingshu. They are both classical styles and versatile.

Han Cheng took it and looked at it with a smile. He thought it was pretty good.

“Do you like it?” Shen Qingshu asked him.

“I like it very much.” Han Cheng, “What else?”

Shen Qingshu reached out and took out a rectangular box.

He handed the box to Han Cheng. Slowly receiving it Han Cheng began to open it slowly. When he saw what was inside, he couldn’t help smiling directly.

Of course, he guessed what Shen Qingshu would give him, but he didn’t think it was this.

——A necklace with a sports car.

The chain is a black leather rope. The sports car is very exquisite, silvery white. The body is smooth and carefully carved. It was quite ingenious.

Han Cheng looked at the little sports car in his hand and always felt a little amused. His little sports car gave him a little sports car. It’s too interesting.

And incredibily cute.

He took the necklace and shook it in front of Shen Qingshu. “You a little sports car, give me a little sports car?”

“I sent you this little sports car because I’m a little sports car.” Shen Qingshu said, “Otherwise, there will be no link with us.”

“So are you giving yourself to me?” Han Cheng asked with a smile.

“You’re dreaming too beautifully.” Shen Qingshu looked at him. “Although we are both little sports cars, this pendant only represents us. However, you don’t have to think too much.

Han Cheng handed the necklace to him. “All right, put it on me.”

Shen Qingshu took over, leaned close to him, knelt on the sofa with one leg, lowered his head and put the necklace on him.

Han Cheng felt his action and secretly raised his eyes to peek at him. When Shen Qingshu finished putting it on and was ready to take back his hand, Han CHeng kissed his face.

Shen Qingshu looked at him in surprise. Han Cheng smiled and kissed him on the lips. Then he hugged him in his arms and kissed him more.

Shen Qingshu leaned in his arms and hooked his neck.

The two gently kissed and looked at each other affectionately.

“Take a bath?” Han Cheng asked him.

Shen Qingshu nodded and Han Cheng picked him up and walked towards his master bedroom.

“Do you like it?” Shen Qingshu remembered to ask him, “You haven’t said whether you like it or not?”

“Of course I like everything you give.” Han Cheng said with a smile, “Of course, I still prefer your luxurious little sports car.”

Shen Qingshu also smiled and hooked his neck to kiss him.

When it was almost twelve o’clock, Shen Qingshu lay in Han Cheng’s arms and waited for the new day with him.

“Happy new year.” He said to Han Cheng at twelve o’clock, “I wish you all the best this year, with happiness and safety.”

Han Cheng hugged him and said with a smile, “Well, I also wish you a happy new year, be healthy and safe.”

This is the first time that he welcomed the new year with others outside his family.

While unexpected by Han Cheng, it made him feel very happy.

It’s probably because it’s pleasant to be with Shen Qingshu.

Han Cheng didn’t think much and fell asleep with his little sports car.

Shen Qingshu told Han Cheng about his rest tomorrow before going to bed, so Han Cheng turned off the alarm clock and woke up naturally with him.

Shen Qingshu rarely had a day off. He didn’t want to toss around, so he stayed at home with Han Cheng to watch a movie.

Han Cheng is not very interested in movies. He is more willing to watch him than watching movies.

“Are you leaving tonight or tomorrow morning?” Han Cheng asked him.

Shen Qingshu replied, “Tomorrow morning.”

“Then I’ll give you a ride?”

“No, my nanny car will pick me up.”

Han Cheng thought about it and thought that was fine. So he didn’t insist anymore.

Shen Qingshu fed him a potato chip and smiled at him.

Early the next morning, Shen Qingshu woke up, packed up and prepared to leave.

Han Cheng didn’t have to go to work during the new year’s Day holiday. He thought of the time Sheng Qingshu said in the hotel that he wanted to eat breakfast cooked by himself, so he made breakfast while Sheng Qingshu was washing up.

For breakfast, he made sandwiches, soybean milk and tea eggs. It’s not difficult, but Shen Qingshu likes them.

Han Cheng ate with him and was ready to take him to the elevator. As soon as they reached the door, Shen Qingshu suddenly turned around and said to him, “Close your eyes.”

“Why? Want to kiss me?” Han Cheng smiled.

“Just close them.” Shen Qingshu insisted.

Han Cheng has no choice but to close his eyes.

With one hand in his pocket and the other hand hanging down naturally, he could not hide a smile on his face, waiting for Shen Qingshu to kiss him.

As a result, after waiting for a long time, there was no familiar touch on the lips. On the contrary, the left hand hanging naturally was lifted up and then something was put on his wrist.

Han Cheng opened his eyes curiously and saw Shen Qingshu finishing buckling, loosened his hand and a watch appeared on his wrist.

“Happy new year.” Shen Qingshu said with a smile, “This is for you, too.”

Han Cheng looked at him in surprise, slowly raised his hand and looked at the watch on his wrist.

This brand is known by Han Cheng. It’s not expensive, it’s only hundreds of thousands, but what’s not expensive for him, is for Shen Qingshu.

“Why did you buy this?” Han Cheng didn’t understand.

“To give to you.” Shen Qingshu’s eyes were pure and clear. “You gave me four gifts and I’ll give you four back.”

“But I didn’t give you a watch. This watch is not cheap. It’s more expensive than everything I gave you.

Shen Qingshu still looked warm and soft. “It’s okay. I happened to see it and think it’s pretty good, so I bought it for you. Besides, the driver naturally has to glance at the time anytime and anywhere.”

“Just because you think it looks good?” Han Cheng was surprised.

Shen Qingshu nodded.

“It suits you very well.” He said, “Do you think it looks good? Do you like it?”

Han Cheng was speechless for a while.

He looked at Shen Qingshu and felt inexplicably flustered. Those emotions that he was not familiar with and could not name were gathered, like a rising tide scrambling to beat his heart, making his heart shake.

Just because he thinks it looks good and suits me, so he bought it for him?

His pay for this drama is only 2 million and now he has only received 1 million. Afterwards, the company will take another 10%. There is not much money in total. Is it worth buying him this watch?

He spent all his hard work in these two months on this watch.

Han Cheng suddenly felt that the watch on his wrist weighed a kilogram, heavy and precious. Hot and sincere.

He has received many gifts, expensive and cheap, but never one like this.

Han Cheng looked at Shen Qingshu and his eyes were full of complexity.

He shouldn’t have bought him this gift. It’s too expensive. He should use this money on himself – he doesn’t have a watch yet.

Seeing that he didn’t speak, Shen Qingshu thought he didn’t like it. He asked with some doubt, “Don’t you like it?”

Han Cheng listened to his puzzled tone and his heart was submerged in boiling water and covered with moonlight.

He doesn’t dislike it. He just thinks it’s not worth it.

Moved by his simplicity and selflessness.

Later, Han Cheng knew that his mood at this time was not simply moved, but throbbing. At that time, he had not noticed that he had extraordinary feelings towards Shen Qingshu, nor did he know that his long-awaited first love had already quietly snuck up on him.

At that time, he only felt strange and impulsive emotions surging in his heart. He could only classify them within his realm of expertise and classify it as being moved.

Because he had no experience with love, Shen Qingshu was the first person he fell in love with.

However, Han Cheng currently doesn’t understand, so under Shen Qingshu’s confused eyes, he curled his arms around him.

He held Shen Qingshu tightly, but he was reluctant to use too much strength for fear of hurting him.

“No,” Shen Qingshu heard Han Cheng whispering in his ear, “I like it very much.”

He will like whatever he gives. He just thinks it’s too expensive.
