CFJTM Chapter 95. It’s not the boat, it’s not the wind, your heart was moved
Thank you @nebulae for the ko-fi (っ◕‿◕)っ ♥
TN: So I’ve added the title pic above every page and edited the previous pages, which took a few hours and a few Dory moments of what did I just do? What am I doing? But the whole chapter is probably readable now? (╥︣﹏᷅╥)
From a story, there is a boat in the small river, and then the wind blows the boat. Some people say that the boat is moving, others say that the wind is moving, and then others say that it’s not the wind moving, not the boat moving, but your heart that has been moved.
“Put me down.” Shen Qingshu said hurriedly.
Han Cheng didn’t listen to him. “I’ve already hugged you. Try and beat me if you have the ability.”
Shen Qingshu: …
Han Cheng chuckled and knew that he was reluctant to raise his hand.
He carried Shen Qingshu into the room and put him on the bed.
Shen Qingshu looked at him warily, “I won’t sleep with you.”
“I remember, we will sleep in separate quilts.” Han Cheng shook the quilt next to him, “here.”
Shen Qingshu was relieved and got into his quilt.
Han Cheng looked at him lying down and deliberately said, “the quilt you’re lying in, wasn’t it the one I was using before? I don’t know if my temperature is still there?”
Shen Qingshu: …
Shen Qingshu opened the quilt and wanted to change it. Han Cheng immediately pushed down the quilt he had just flipped “I also laid down this one, my temperature on this one is even fresher.”
Shen Qingshu: ! ! !
Han Cheng looked at him. “In fact, seriously speaking, you and I have also been sleeping together for a longer time than these two quilts combined.”
Shen Qingshu was so angry that he wanted to pinch him.
Han Cheng hugged the man and pretended to be confused. “Didn’t you say you wouldn’t sleep with me? Why are you throwing yourself into my arms?”
Shen Qingshu: ! ! !
“Shut up!” He broke away from Han Cheng.
Han Cheng nodded cleverly, “Yes wife, no problem wife.”
“Don’t call me that.”
“Got it wife, I’ll change right away wife.”
Shen Qingshu: Ah ah ah ah ah ah!
“You’re so annoying.”
He turned and lay down in the quilt and ignored Han Cheng.
Han Cheng couldn’t help laughing when he saw him like this.
Shen Qingshu sat up and turned off the light. Han Cheng looked at his back in the dark, and his head was almost completely covered. He simply felt that his little sports car ah, no, Shen Qinshu can’t be called his sports car now. Let’s call him little baby. His little baby is so cute.
He deliberately teased Shen Qingshu by saying, “good night.”
Shen Qingshu ignored him.
“Won’t you say good night to me?”
Shen Qingshu doesn’t want to talk to him.
“Then I can’t sleep.” Han Cheng continued.
He said and began to recite, “Nights alone, my heart – where should I put it? After the embrace, my two hands – where should I place them? I can’t even learn to control anymore – my breathing…” 1
“Shut up.” Shen Qingshu turned to look at him.
“I told you. I can’t sleep until you say good night.” Han Cheng claimed righteously.
Shen Qingshu: …
“Good night, good night, good night!” Shen Qingshu said furiously.

Han Cheng laughed, “do you want to kiss good night?”
“If you talk nonsense again, I’ll kick you!”
“En, en, go to sleep.” Han Cheng laughed.
Shen Qingshu turned his head again and buried himself in the quilt.
He lay in bed and heard Han Cheng’s gentle voice filled with humour in the dark.
He said, “Qingqing, you are really cute.”
The voice was very quiet. Just one sentence and there was no more talking after.
Shen Qingshu inexplicably trembled, unconsciously grasped the quilt and leaned against the bed.
In fact, he didn’t know how things suddenly developed to this step. When Han Cheng left, everything was still within his expectations, but Han Cheng suddenly turned back, and everything after flew out of his expectation.
How did he come back?
Why did he come back?
And what he said.
Is Han Cheng really reluctant to part with him?
Does he really want to fall in love with him?
Shen Qingshu doesn’t quite understand.
There were too many things he didn’t understand, so he closed his eyes and wanted to sleep quickly.
If he falls asleep, then he won’t need to think so much.
Shen Qingshu had a dream, a very quiet dream.
He woke up in a boat cabin and felt a gentle breeze. The wooden boat moved along the direction of the current, not too fast or too slow. Just like fallen leaves floating along the river.
He stood up curiously, opened the cabin and went out. He saw someone with his back to him and leaning against the boat.
The water flow is calm, the river bank is full of fallen flowers, and the willows in early spring reflect a slender figure, like time is infinitely elongated.
Shen Qingshu looked at the back in front of him for a long time before finally moving forward.
The boat seemed to hit something and moved. He lost balance for a moment and someone steadied his arm.
Shen Qing looked up and met Han Cheng’s dark eyes. He saw his panicked self in those eyes. He was surprised that he was the only one who was unable to stay balanced
“Sorry.” He stood up straight and pulled away his arm. “I was surprised when the boat suddenly moved.”
“Did the boat move?” Han Cheng asked him.
Shen Qingshu looked at him in disbelief.
“Why didn’t I feel it?”
He looked at Shen Qingshu and talked with a calm and gentle tone.
Shen Qingshu looked back in surprise. The river was sparkling and calm. There seemed to be no waves.
He looked around. The river bank was still fresh with fragrant grass, and there was still the reflection of the slender willows, as if the boat had never moved.
“You really didn’t notice,” he heard Han Cheng’s gentle voice, tapping against his heart silently, yet deafening. “But it’s not the boat moving, not the flag moving, but your heart.”
Shen Qingshu’s heart tightened, and he looked at him in astonishment.
Fell straight into his eyes.
The river bank behind him finally changed. The wind rose and blew down all the fallen leaves and snow started to fall down, turning the world white.
Shen Qingshu looked at the person in front of him silently.
When Shen Qingshu woke up, he was stunned for a moment. He subconsciously touched his heart, thump, thump, quiet yet deafening.
He put his hand down, turned his head and looked at Han Cheng, who was still sleeping, before getting out of bed silently.
Han Cheng always gets up early. After a while, he woke from the sound of his movements.
Both of them didn’t go to bed early last night, so they were a little sleepy at the moment. However Shen Qingshu still had a scene to shoot, so Han Cheng got out of bed and prepared to go to the set with him to solve the obstacle of Bai Jian.
Shen Qingshu almost bumped into Han Cheng’s arms as soon as he came out after washing.
Han Cheng was just about to tease him, when he saw Shen Qingshu turn around and leave quickly.
He’s really afraid of myself, Han Cheng thought. He smiled, washed quickly and chased after him.
Zhou Jianming was busy signing several advertisements for Shen Qingshu, and finally flew back on the morning flight. As soon as he came back, he saw that their little prince and princess seemed to be at odds.
He asked Xiao Li, “What happened between them?”
Xiao Li said slowly, “Nothing.”
“They’re not speaking anymore and nothing happened?”
“Isn’t Shen ge busy reading the script?” Xiao Li replied.
Zhou Jianming: … Sure enough, you can only be an assistant, Xiao Li.
Bai Jian probably had something to do, so he didn’t come to the set this morning.
It was not until noon that Shen Qingshu and Han Cheng met him when they went to dinner.
Shen Qingshu looked at him from a distance and recalled his previous intersection with Bai Jian. Before Han Cheng came, he ate so many meals and didn’t meet him once.
After Han Cheng arrived, it seemed that every time they had dinner, they would meet Bai Jian.
If this is not fate. What is it?
“You see, I told you.” Shen Qingshu looked at Han Cheng and said, “100% chance to meet.”
Han Cheng: …
Han Cheng was depressed to find that they did meet too often.
But it doesn’t make sense. If the dream is true, why did Shen Qingshu dream it?
Shouldn’t he have received the dream?
Shen Qingshu is not him or Bai Jian. What’s the use of giving him dreams?
Han Cheng looked at Bai Jian carefully for the first time.
He indeed has an innocent face with no aggressiveness, that gives people a sense of familiarity. His figure is thin, but the proportions are good. Even wearing cheap clothes, he can outline a fairly good figure.
While he was watching, Bai Jian looked up and they locked gazes. Bai Jian blinked unconsciously. He seemed to want to say something but then slowly lowered his head.
Han Cheng knitted his brows. Does he like this type?
Like just from this?
Is his heart so simple?
So unpretentious?
Han Cheng doesn’t think he should be like that. Although he is not extravagant, he is certainly not such a hard-working and simple person.
This is not his character design!
“Let’s go, didn’t you say you want to get in touch?I’ll invite him to have dinner together before I go.”
He said and pulled Shen Qingshu.
Shen Qingshu didn’t want to go. “Go alone, I’m not going.”
“How can that work? You’re the one who dreamed, not me. If you don’t go, how can you verify whether we’re made for each other.”
Shen Qingshu: …
Shen Qingshu was dragged by Han Cheng and walked over.
Seeing that he was coming over, Bai Jian quickly swallowed the rice in his mouth, took a sip of water, and tidied up his clothes. Only then did he raise his head to meet him.
Han Chengsaid to him in a gentle tone. “I was in a bad mood last night and was angry with you. That was my bad. I apologise to you.”
“It’s okay.” Bai Jian smiled. “I don’t mind. Are you in a better mood now?”
Han Cheng looked at him. His tone was as gentle as ever, but his words were not gentle. “But if it happens again, I will still say the same thing. That sentence was the truth, I have my parents, gege and friends, so I don’t need others to care about me.”
Bai Jian was embarrassed in an instant and lowered his head silently.
Han Cheng said calmly, “I can understand. I helped you twice and you want to repay me. Because I refused your reward, you are embarrassed to accept my help for nothing, so you pay more attention to me. This reaction is normal, so today I thought, how about this? I let you treat me to dinner, and then you don’t owe me anything and don’t need to care about me anymore.”
Bai Jian looked up at him in surprise, and then nodded slowly, “Okay.”
“That’s settled.” Han Cheng said, “I helped you twice, then I was angry with you for no reason yesterday. So you just need to treat me to one meal.”
“What happened yesterday was also my fault,” Bai Jian hurriedly said. “I shouldn’t have bothered you when you’re unhappy, so I don’t blame you and it doesn’t offset anything.”
“Offset it.” Han Cheng said, “I don’t take advantage of others. You can decide the time and place of the meal, it’s best to choose today or tomorrow.. Later, you can tell Shen Qingshu the specific time and location and we’ll go together.”

Bai Jian felt a little lost when he heard him say this. He thought that since Han Cheng promised to have dinner together, at least, he would exchange contact information.
Unexpectedly, he was asked to contact Shen Qingshu.
Bai Jian couldn’t help looking at Shen Qingshu. Shen Qingshu was immediately embarrassed and quickly showed an embarrassed but polite smile.
Bai Jian smiled too, they were good friends, he guessed. That’s why Han Cheng came to visit him specifically, and that’s why Han Cheng asked himself to contact Shen Qingshu.
Han Cheng probably doesn’t want to have too much contact with himself. So he thought of agreeing to the return of his previous meal and when the meal was over, they would no longer owe each other.
Bai Jian felt a little uncomfortable and a faint sense of regret. “Then I’ll reserve the restaurant in a while, and then let Shen ge know.”
Shen Qingshu didn’t think this was necessary. They could contact each other directly, but he was embarrassed to make any small moves with Han Cheng in front of Bai Jian, so he could only sneak a look at Han Cheng.
Han Cheng pretended not to notice and nodded, “then you continue eating. I won’t disturb you.”
He said that and pulled Shen Qingshu away.
Bai Jian also wanted to ask him what he liked to eat, but he didn’t expect him to walk so fast, so he could only ask Shen Qingshu in the afternoon.
Shen Qingshu couldn’t help but say, “why did you make him contact me? Can’t he contact you directly?”
“No.” Han Cheng said, “is my contact information so easy to give to others? Do you know how much my contact information costs?”
Shen Qingshu really doesn’t know.
But that’s not the point. The point is, “With things like this, won’t I be sandwiched between you two?”
“I don’t think he should have my contact information. In case anything happens to me in the future, wouldn’t you say that we are fated again? I can’t accept such fate anymore, so I’d rather you have more fate.”
Shen Qingshu: …
“Let’s go.” Han Cheng looked at him. “Let’s eat in another place. I don’t believe I can still bump into him.”
Shen Qingshu: …It doesn’t have to be like this.
They went back to Shen Qingshu’s room together – Han Cheng didn’t believe he could meet Bai Jian that way.
Facts have proved that there was indeed no encounter
Han Cheng spread his hands, “How is it?”
Shen Qing didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. He thinks Han Cheng is really childish sometimes.
However, soon, in the afternoon, they met Bai Jian again. To be exact, Han Cheng met Bai Jian alone.
Bai Jian came to ask Han Cheng what he likes to eat, whether he wants to eat fried vegetables, hot pot or other dishes. He wanted to ask Shen Qingshu, but when he came, Shen Qingshu happened to be filming. Only Han Cheng and Zhou Jianming were talking, so he simply asked Han Cheng directly.
Han Cheng finally felt the so-called damn fate at this time. Otherwise, he couldn’t appear as soon as Shen Qingshu left. If Shen Qingshu saw it, he must think they were destined again.
However, what he was afraid of happened. The other actor filming with Shen Qingshu said the wrong lines. The director shouted “cut”, and the other party apologised, Shen Qingshu smiled and said “it’s okay”. While he was talking, he looked back and saw Bai Jian and Han Cheng standing together, as if they were talking.
Shen Qingshu looked as if he was used to it. He calmly turned his head and got ready to shoot again.
Han Cheng wants to cry without tears. What the hell is this fate! He is so aggrieved! He is more aggrieved than Dou E! 2
How can it not snow today!
It’s so unscientific!
He quickly interrupted Bai Jian, “You decide the food, I can eat everything. He likes sour, sweet, sour and spicy, and the rest doesn’t matter.”
Bai Jian nodded and wanted to ask if it was appropriate for him to choose Nanwu Road, but he heard him say, “You decide the rest. I have something to say to Zhou Jianming, so don’t ask me again.”
Listening to his words, Bai Jian realised that he might have disturbed him, so he didn’t ask any more questions and left politely.
Han Cheng sighed and thought it was too difficult.
Where did this inexplicable fate come from?
So terrifying!
“Han Shao, do you know each other?” Zhou Jianming asked him.
“Don’t know.”
“You don’t know him, yet you invite him to dinner?”
Han Cheng: …
“I don’t want to know him, can’t I?”
“Then you still eat together?”
“I helped him twice and allowed him to treat me to a meal. In the future, we don’t owe each other anything, okay?”
Zhou Jianming understands.
Also, he thought, with Han Cheng’s good conditions whether he helped someone or someone helped him, they definitely wouldn’t let it go easily. If they could become friends and get to know each other, that’s one more connection.
But now it seems that one has ambition but the other has no intentions. 3
When Shen Qingshu came back, Han Cheng told him that Bai Jian came and asked him what to eat and where to eat.
Shen Qingshu nodded. “You two don’t need to report to me.”
“It’s better to report.” Han Cheng said, “Just two words and not bothersome.”
Shen Qingshu looked at him as if he was afraid that he would think too much. For a while, he didn’t know how he was feeling.
“Do you really, really don’t want to be with him?” He asked Han Cheng.
“Nonsense.” Han Cheng looked at him. “Do you think I like him?”
Shen Qing clenched the cup tightly at his words.
He hesitated.
It seems he was starting to hesitate.
TN: Don’t know why HC still obsessing over his character design had laugher bubbling up, HC my dude knows his priorities xD

Aku curiga Bai Jian seperti memata matai Han Cheng, dimana HC muncul otomatis BJ juga akan muncul. Aku curiga seperti ini krn BJ sepertinya tertarik dengan HC.
Now thinking about it is too coincidence for Bai jian meeting our Han again and again why I am getting the feeling like he already know Han identity so he want to get close to him… I am just saying it can be wrong too…
If it’s really the novel plot making it’s move to connect the fate between the two, I felt sorry for Bai Jian. Han Cheng succesfully broke from the chains and isn’t binded by the novel anymore because he has feelings for SQS now, but what about Bai Jian? What guarantees that his attraction for Han Cheng were his real feelings and not because that’s how he was written in the original novel?

Woah that boat dream sequence is giving me some feels.. and I’m glad HC is trying so hard to reassure SQS bc seeing SQS so down like is so painful. Cheer up SQSー you have obtained the “baby” title!
Thanks for the updatee~
Also thanks for putting the cover on top!
i think whatever you did work bc the ads on top isn’t showing anymore for me (at least for now?) (⊙_⊙)
Aww, Han Cheng! ❤️
He really does come through in the clutch, doesn’t he? He’s handling this so well! The plot has influence over some elements of fate, but it doesn’t control people’s hearts! He’s shutting down any potential misunderstanding with the OG!Protagonist and look, the subconscious is starting to push things through for SQS too!
Thanks for your hard work translating!
He’s super devoted to SQS and blocking any attempts at misunderstandings! (*•̀ᴗ•́*)و ✧
Sorry protag shou but here, love don’t come to those who don’t work for it.
Thanks for reading and commenting!
A poetic kapow to the heart (≧∇≦)/☆ﾟ。･＋
That’s so weird! When I make everything around the ad, it finally goes away? （￣□￣；）
Thanks for leaving feedback and comments!
