CFJTM Chapter 90. “Let’s end this relationship of car friends, I’m sorry.”
TN: Extra chapter! Thank you @ Julie and @Nebulae for the ko-fi❤️️❤️️
2 more chapters before the wife chasing starts!
Shen Qingshu shook his head. “Of course not.”
“Isn’t it?” Meng Zhi said with a smile, “I thought your friend didn’t like me, so you didn’t like me?”
When he finished, he asked him, “are you friends?”
“He’s a friend.” Shen Qingshu couldn’t help defending Han Cheng, “he doesn’t dislike you. His emotions are sometimes too straightforward, but it’s not aimed at you.”
This is nonsense, but Shen Qingshu is really embarrassed to let Meng Zhi know that Han Cheng doesn’t like him. How awkward would that be?
Meng Zhi laughed. “Really? I thought he didn’t like me getting too close to you?”
“No at all.” Shen Qingshu deended.
“Are you single?” Meng Zhi suddenly asked.
Shen Qingshu nodded subconsciously, “En.”
“As long as you’re single.” Meng Zhi smiled. “Since you are single, you don’t have to worry about other people’s views. You can follow your own ideas.”
He looked at Shen Qingshu. “Go back and think about it. I’ll wait for your reply.”
Shen Qingshu listened to his words with some helplessness, but Meng Zhi was a senior that took care of him. At this time, if he refused twice in a row, it would be too embarrassing.
Although he didn’t want to be close friends with Meng Zhi, he didn’t want to offend him. So he nodded politely and planned to wait until tomorrow to find another chance to refuse.
“Then I’ll go back and check my schedule. If I can’t arrange it, don’t blame me, Meng ge.”
“Of course.”
Shen Qingshuu smiled and left.
Meng Zhi looked at him and thought back to when he just asked him if he was single, he said “En”. It’s good to be single. Fortunately, he was single.
He looked up at the sky and felt that the sun was extraordinarily warm today.
When Han Cheng heard Shen Qingshu tell him that Meng Zhi asked him to see a movie, he became angry almost instantly. “I knew he had bad intentions. Why did he ask you to see a movie out of so many people? Are you particularly charming?”
“Aren’t I?” Shen Qingshu asked him.

Han Cheng: …
“Is now the time to praise your beauty? Did you agree?”
“No.” Shen Qingshu said, “I didn’t agree. I refused, saying that I didn’t have time.”
“No.” Han Cheng looked at him. “You agree to his movie invitation. The three of us can go together. Doesn’t he want to see a movie? I’ll let him see enough!”
He said that there were so many people. Why did he focus on Meng alone? Sure enough, his intuition was correct. This spicy chicken still wanted to pry his little sports car. Does he think he is worthy?
Pooh!
“I’ll show him who you belong to.”
Shen Qingshu: … I won’t be your’s for long. Wake up. Your man is over there!
“I’m not going.”
“Why?”
“You made it clear that you were going to do something. Why should I go along with you?”
He looked at Han Cheng and said seriously, “Meng ge treats me well, accompanies me with my lines, guides me on my acting skills, and teaches me how to better reflect my advantages. I don’t want you to mess with him.”
“Oh, it’s all coming out now, you still protect him.” Han Cheng became angry again.
“Anyway, I won’t go watch a movie with him. Whether it’s as two people like he proposed or three people like you proposed, so don’t always aim at him. He can see that you have a problem with him.”
“Then shouldn’t he reflect on why I have a problem with him?”
Shen Qingshu: …
Shen Qingshu gave him a thumbs up, worthy of you, Han Cheng!
Shen Qingshu thought Meng Zhi wouldn’t bring up going to the movies with him tomorrow. Unexpectedly, Meng Zhi talked about it again after they finished the scene that night.
Shen Qingshu could only reply in embarrassment: “sorry, Meng ge, I’m really thankful to you, but I really don’t have time.”
Meng Zhi nodded, “Qingshu, it seems you are busier than me?”
Shen Qingshu: …
This is even more awkward.
Meng Zhi looked at his guilty expression and slowly smiled, “Shall I change my reason?”
He said, “Qingshu, you should be able to feel it. I actually like you very much, so I want to have further contact with you. I want to invite you to see a movie with me. Is that okay?”
Shen Qingshu is shocked. He can really feel Meng Zhi’s care for him, but he never thought that Meng Zhi would have such feelings for him.
“Sorry, I…”
Meng Zhi raised his hand and interrupted him, “don’t refuse in such a hurry. You can think again. You are single and I am single. You don’t dislike me and I like you, so we can take a step closer. You can try with me first and give me a chance. If you don’t think it’s appropriate and you don’t like me, you can stop at any time. The initiative is in your hand. Isn’t that fine?”
“I…”
“I said, don’t rush to refuse, you can think about it.”
“But…”
“Qingshu,” Meng Zhi looked at him, “you’ve rejected me three times today. I’m your senior. It’s not too much to ask for some face from time to time?”
Shen Qingshu: …
Shen Qingshu stopped talking.
Meng Zhi sent him out of the door, “I hope you can seriously consider that my conditions are actually good. Although friends are very important, surely you won’t reject love for the sake of friends?”
Shen Qingshu looked up at him and knew that he was talking about Han Cheng.
“Go back and have a good rest.” Meng Zhi concluded.
Shen Qing nodded. “Thank you.”
With that, he turned and walked back.
Meng Zhi looked at his back and closed the door slowly after he was far away.
In fact, he doesn’t want to pierce this layer of window paper so soon. But if he doesn’t pierce it now, Shen Qingshu may not be single later. At that time, he will lose his qualification to pierce.
Meng Zhi sat on the sofa and remembered the scene when he first saw him.
He opened the heavy wooden door and came in. The sun broke in behind him. Shen Qingshu stood in the halo as if he were the sun itself.
He is not familiar with Shen Qingshu. But he liked Shen Qingshu at first sight.
More accurately, before they met, when he saw him on the live broadcast, he had a good impression of him.
Shen Qingshu returned to the room and sat on the sofa.
Meng Zhi likes him?
What does he like about him?
Face?
Or something else?
Shen Qingshu didn’t understand. However, he touched his heart. The heartbeat rate was normal, neither faster or slower.
Therefore, he obviously doesn’t like Meng Zhi.
But …
Shen Qingshu held his head and thought silently, what kind of person does he like?
Gentle and considerate? Meng Zhi is also very gentle.
Good looking? Meng Zhi is also very handsome.
Be nice to him? Meng Zhi is also nice to him.
What else?
Will respect and understand him?
Meng Zhi seems to be able to do the same.
Shen Qingshu suddenly feels a little confused. It’s clear that Meng Zhi also meets his love standard. Why doesn’t he feel excited towards Meng Zhi?
It’s not scientific.
But he did not feel much about Meng Zhi.
Is it because they don’t have much contact?
He thought.
How did Meng Zhi feel about him?
“Alas.” Shen Qingshu doesn’t understand.
He sighed. He just thought it was too difficult to fall in love.
It was appropriate that he didn’t fall in love in his last life until he died. He wasn’t emotionally moved by anyone. Even if he lives his life again, if an accident strikes tomorrow, he will still be a single dog who hasn’t fallen in love!
Shen Qingshu thought of this and suddenly thought of the two things he regretted most at that time before he died. One was that he had never been in love and had not experienced the sweetness of love that everyone mentioned. Another thing is that he hasn’t driven a car and hasn’t experienced the speed and passion everyone mentioned.
Now that he has driven the car, there is only love regret left.
In this way, being with Meng Zhi does not seem impossible.
Feelings can be cultivated. Anyway, Meng Zhi also meets his love standards. He also said that if there are no feelings, he can stop at any time. Then, it doesn’t seem impossible to have a try.
He was struggling when he heard a knock at the door. When he went out, he found it was Han Cheng.
“I’m back.” Han Cheng said to him.
Shen Qingshu nodded.
Han Cheng looked at the time. Fortunately, he didn’t leave for long.
Although he really doesn’t want Shen Qingshu to go to Meng Zhi, who makes Meng Zhi a senior? Even if Shen Qingshu is now popular, he is still a younger generation. If he doesn’t go, who knows whether it will affect his reputation.
Han Cheng thought of this and felt annoyed. “If I knew earlier, I would also become an actor, so I can accompany you properly.”
“No, no.” Shen Qingshu advised him, “how nice it is to be a boss. There will be no better career in the world.”
“Do you still want to be an actor?”
“Do I have capital?” Shen Qingshu looked at him, “if I were the son of the richest man, I would not be an actor. I would just go to work and play with hobbies in my free time.”
Han Cheng chuckled and felt better again.
He looked at Shen Qingshu, reached out and pinched his face, before leaning over and was ready to kiss him.
Shen Qingshu was startled and unconsciously hid back.
Han Cheng: ????
Shen Qingshu: …
“Well, I am pure-hearted now.” Shen Qingshu said awkwardly.
“Just a kiss can affect the purity of your heart?”
“Of course.” Shen Qingshu turned and walked in.
Han Cheng feels that he has something wrong. Why is he suddenly so pure and lustless? The theme of this film is more serious, but he is not a monk that cultivates abstinence.
A newly graduated sunshine police officer, what can he clear?
“Really can’t kiss?”
Shen Qingshu nodded, washed himself an apple, and then divided him half.
Han Cheng took it and ate the apple. “I’m sleeping with you tonight.”
“Didn’t you agree to sleep in your room?”
“I can’t sleep well.” Han Cheng said, “I didn’t sleep well last night.”
Shen Qingshu was a little worried. “Why don’t you try again tonight?”
Han Cheng: ..
“I said I didn’t sleep well and you want me to try again?”
“The Red Army is not afraid of the difficulties of expeditions.1 Thousands of rivers and mountains are just obstacles. In the face of setbacks, shouldn’t we face the difficulties and actively overcome them?”

Han Cheng: …
“Am I a monster? Or a beast? Do you need to so fiercely resist me?”
He didn’t understand, “What’s the matter with you? Didn’t I share a bed with you before filming or recording variety shows? We’ve known each other for so long. Can you count the number of times we slept separately? You suddenly don’t want to sleep with me now? Shen Qingshu, are you hiding something?”
Shen Qingshu quickly shook his head, “No.”
“Then we’ll sleep together tonight.”
“We’ll be covered in two separate quilts.” Shen Qingshu reluctantly bargained.
Han Cheng: …
Han Cheng approached him and whispered, “One quilt, I hug you to sleep. I not only hug you, but also give you good night kisses and good morning kisses.”
Han Cheng took a hard bite of the apple and stared at Shen Qingshu with a challenging stare, as if he wasn’t biting the apple, but Shen Qingshu’s flesh and blood.
Shen Qingshu: …
Aren’t you done seeking death?
Why do you do this to yourself?
How about being nice to yourself?
He looked at Han Cheng in depression and always felt that Han Cheng will be overturned in the future for this matter.
Han Cheng made up his mind and urged him to take a bath.
Shen Qingshu didn’t want to go. Han Cheng looked at him as if he was slacking off. “Then I’ll carry you?”
Shen Qingshu stood up and went to the bathroom.
Han Cheng: …
Is this disgust?
It’s disgust!
He actually despised him?
And so blatantly despised him!
Isn’t he the one who usually clings to himself for a hug and carry?
He dares to dislike him now!
Han Cheng thinks there must be something wrong with his little sports car!
And it’s a big problem!
He waited for Shen Qingshu to come out after taking a bath and asked him, “you really have nothing to hide from me?”
“Of course not.” Shen Qingshu replied.
“That better be true.”
Han Cheng went into the bathroom, took a bath, and then walked to the bedside.
He opened the quilt and lay in, patting the position next to him, “Come on, baby ~”
Shen Qingshu: …
“Can’t we sleep with seperate quilts?”
“How can that work?” Han Cheng deliberately said, “how can I kiss you in separate quilts and hug you.”
“We should not only sleep under the same quilt, but also treat each other sincerely. You have me and I have you.”
Shen Qingshu: !!!
“I’m not going on the road!”
“No, don’t worry, we don’t have to if you don’t want to. I’ll only hug you, don’t worry.”
Shen Qingshu is not at ease. What if he wants to do something after hugging and kissing?
This is not impossible at all.
Besides, Han Cheng’s future boyfriend is still living upstairs. How can he hug him under the same quilt?
“Not coming yet?” Han Cheng urged him.
Shen Qingshu felt that he was going to collapse.
He can’t be unscrupulously intimate with Han Cheng when knowing that Bai Jian is upstairs.
It’s too wrong. He can’t do it.
He looked at Han Cheng, no matter how much he didn’t want him to be sad, but they have to do this at some point. Han Cheng will always end his car friend relationship with him, if not now, definitely in the future.
He has worked very hard. He hopes that Han Cheng will fall in love with Bai Jian as soon as possible, and then transfer his interest to him. Waiting for Han Cheng to take the initiative to terminate the car friend relationship, so that he won ‘t feel uncomfortable about ending this relationship.
However, he really can’t wait for that day.
He couldn’t be close to Han Cheng after Bai Jian appeared. He couldn’t go beyond his bottom line. His morality didn’t allow him to do so, so in the end, he had to open his mouth to end the relationship.
“I…” he opened his mouth and looked at the man on the bed.
Han Cheng’s eyes still contain a smile, which is familiar to him. Proudly holding the winning tickets in hand, this smile of deliberately wanting to tease. Every time he wants to tease him, he will use this smile, and then hold him with a smile after success, coaxing him and kissing him at the same time.
Shen Qingshu never hates Han Cheng teasing him, so Han Cheng will succeed every time.
But this time, he was destined not to continue to hold him with a smile as before.
“Han Cheng.” Shen Qingshu spoke softly, with a solemn tone, as if the last leaf finally fell into the water, creating layers of ripples.
“I can’t sleep with you in the same quilt.” He said softly, “Let’s end this relationship of car friends. I’m sorry.”
TN: Guys you need to hold on. Believe in HC!
Also on a side note, I kinda like MZ as a whole, he takes the initiative to chase who he likes shamelessly.
1 The Chinese Workers’ and Peasants’ Red Army, was the armed forces of the Chinese Communist Party from 1928 to 1937.

SQS really behaving a little bit like a scum man in this chapter
Well… that was pain out of nowhere, but that car buddy gotta end if we can progress
Hey, I like MZ ahhhh … I want to see him having some chance and moments with him.
I did not expect to be sobbing at the end of this chapter. Fuck that hurt more than anticipated. 😭😭😭
Thanks for the chapter. 🥺🥺
> Will respect and understand him? Meng Zhi seems to be able to do the same.
MZ used the massive professional power imbalance between them to try and pressure him into a date, after being refused. I don’t think that counts as “respect” for SQS.
I agree! That paragraph made me uncomfortable…
I kinda felt a sting in my heart TvT
The fact that they think they are only car friends is actually what prevents them from realizing their true feelings. So the right move is to really dissolve the car friend relationship and move on to the next level 😂
This hurts ok?!?! (ノ。•́︿•̀。)ノ彡┻━┻
The pain… on the other hand love your name!!

So we’re now on the KNIFE part of the road… I’ve been waiting for this but I’m also scarED AHH
also i guess meng zhi was supposed to be the romantic interest for the ori sqs? He seems like a nice guy so far.
Thanks for the tl!
Sending thoughts to HC. Add oil!
Im so sad 😭😭😭😭😭
It’s not that I lack belief in HC per se; it’s that my faith in SQS’s stubbornness in sticking to the plot is too strong. 😅
SQS is no wilting flower. It’ll take more effort to catch him than I think HC is capable of in one conversation. It would truly be superhuman to be able to do it!
Thanks for your hard work translating!
Anxiously waiting for the wife chasing D:
Thanks for the chapter!
