CFJTM Chapter 97. “Are you still single?”

Thank you @Julie for the ko-fi 💓

TN: Guess who?(said that)

“Of course.” Han Cheng looked at him. “After I left, you are not allowed to have contacts outside of work with Meng Zhi.”

Good guy, he is still eating this vinegar.

“I have nothing to do with him except work matters.”

“You wanted to try it with him.” Han Cheng turned over the old account mercilessly, “if you want to fall in love, try with me. With others, especially him, don’t even think about it.”

Shen Qingshu: …

Shen Qingshu struggled to push him away. “I’m leaving now. Go back quickly.”

“Did you hear me?”

“You don’t need to care if I heard you. Let go quickly.”

Han Cheng grabbed his wrist. “If I come next time and see something I shouldn’t see, you wait for me to send you a cage again.”

Shen Qingshu: ? ? ?

Han Cheng laughed. “A two metre one made of pure gold with patterns on it. It’s especially suitable for your room.”

Shen Qingshu: …

“Or no patterns. I’ll find someone to engrave the contents of your first novel. Just engrave the most wonderful high-speed action scenes of each chapter on the bars. If you’re free, you can read it to relieve boredom.”

Shen Qingshu: ! ! !

“You’re crazy!”

Han Cheng sighed, “Did I not treat you well enough? Is it because I didn’t give you enough? I love you so much, but you still want to leave me. Then what should I do? I can only lock you up so that you can’t go anywhere except beside me all your life.”

“QingQing, don’t force me, okay?”

Shen Qingshu: …

Stop acting at this time, okay?! You really think you’re the protagonist in your script!

And engrave high-speed scenes on each bar. How dare you dream of such!

How bold this man is, how productive his heart is!

“Do you understand?” Han Cheng smiled.

Shen Qingshu: “Hehe, hehe, then I’ll sit in the cage and perform poetry readings for you every day.”

“Recite ‘By chance’ “

“Yan Jiayu treats you as a spare tire.”

Han Cheng: ! ! !

“Don’t worry, I will be full of emotion and sincere. I will read every word to you with the skill of a broadcaster, to ensure that you can recall the wonderful past after listening to my recitation.”

Come on, let’s hurt each other. See who’s afraid of who!

“At that time, I’ll sit in the cage and write you an expanded novel. I’ll write the story of you and Yan Jiayu in excruciating detail. I’ll write that you love Yan Jiayu, completely infatuated. You’ve been trampled on and still want to be his spare tire. Yan Jiayu despises you and pursues true love without looking at you…”

“You’re crazy!” Han Cheng interrupted, “how dare you think of such a shameless novel!”

“Of course I’m crazy. I’m driven crazy by your suffocating love. Isn’t that what you want? Are you satisfied with what you hear now?”

Han Cheng: …

Han Cheng is very dissatisfied!

“Anyway, you can’t have too much contact with Meng Zhi, think more about what happened between us. Otherwise, when you come home, it will be the day when the cage arrives. I tell you, my gege has wanted to sponsor me for a long time!”

Shen Qingshu: ? ? ? ?

“Your brother is really a talent.”

“Isn’t he? I’ve taken a good look at the styles and I’m just waiting to custom order it.”

Shen Qingshu: …

“So be obedient.” Han Cheng touched his head.

“Why does your gege know about the cage?”

Han Cheng: …

So embarrassing.

Han Cheng quickly used his little brain and quickly found the right reason, “He saw your pendant and he said, since I gave you a small cage. It’s better for him to give you a big one.”

Shen Qingshu: …

“Are you sure it’s for me?”

“Of course, will he give it to me?” Han Cheng asked.

Shen Qingshu thinks it’s possible. Otherwise, who wants to send a cage to his didi’s friend after meeting only once? It’s too freaking fast!

“Really? Next time I see your gege, I’ll ask him if he wants to send me a cage and why? Are you sure it’s pure gold? Two metres? If so, I’ll take it.”

Han Cheng: …

“There’s no need to ask in such detail.”

“Too detailed? Okay then, I’ll only ask him the main reason why. That’s not too detailed right?”

Han Cheng: …

Han Cheng felt as if he had lifted a stone and hit himself in the foot, while simultaneously digging a hole for himself.

Shen Qingshu knew the truth was not as simple as he said when he saw that he no longer spoke.

Humph, digging yourself a pit while trying to fight him. You deserve it!

“Go back and have a chat with your da ge, only then you will be qualified to cheat me ~” Shen Qingshu laughed.

Han Cheng: …

The key is that Han Yu is definitely unwilling to help him with his lines!

He estimated that he was not only unwilling, but also very happy to share his small video with Shen Qingshu. Looking forward to seeing Shen Qingshu’s response!

Why don’t you have a sense of crisis?

I’m not the only protagonist in that video!

Stupid!

Han Cheng snorted angrily and sat back in the driver’s seat.

Shen Qingshu chuckled, “is everything all right now? Can I get off?”

“Get off, get off.”

Little fool. 

“Alas,” Han Cheng suddenly remembered, “you haven’t worn a necklace these days.”

He spoke gently.

Shen Qingshu subconsciously lowers his head to take a look. On the night when he told  Han Cheng about ending the relationship, he took off his necklace after  Han Cheng left.

“Next time I come, put it on.” Han Cheng whispered.

Shen Qingshu was silent for a moment before he said to him, “let’s see. Be careful on the road, drive slowly, and have a good rest when you get back.”

“You too. Have a good rest.”

“En.”

He took a final look at Han Cheng, pushed open the door and got out of the car.

Han Cheng watched him slowly disappear from his sight. Then he turned the steering wheel and drove back.

Shen Qingshu returned to his room, took a bath, and lay on the bed thinking about Han Cheng and Bai Jian.

He received the information of this novel in his mind the day after he came through. However, in just a few minutes, he realised what he received was more like the outline of this novel, like how he only knew that they would meet in spring. Han Cheng would fall in love with the gentle and kind Bai Jian and the prodigal son would turn around. They would experience all kinds of misunderstandings, and he would have a happy end. Han Cheng would be complete with the person he loves beside him, cherishing every day with him.

However, he didn’t know that under this outline, under the appearance of Bai Jian’s lacking self-confidence, he didn’t like to take the initiative or explain. He just felt that others wouldn’t understand.

He didn’t know that Han Cheng’s previous riders were fake, and was not so romantic.

So now, Shen Qingshu is curious about how many things are still hidden in this outline?

What else is hidden under this outline that he hasn’t found?

He tried to think about the plot that his assistant talked about before he passed through, but found that it was too long ago for him to remember clearly. He only remembered that the cannon fodder original owner kept jumping repeatedly in front of Han Cheng and Bai Jian, causing them to break up again and again.

Alas, Shen Qingshu turned over and decided that if he still didn’t want Han Cheng and Bai Jian together at this time tomorrow night, he would really change the civet cat for crown prince and Mangosteen for apple.

Anyway, Han Cheng hasn’t forgotten about Apple yet. If he changes his mind at this time, it won’t hurt him too much – if he can guarantee that Han Cheng can still be happy after changing his mind.

Shen Qingshu is dejected to find that he is actually on the same road as the original owner. He is still getting between them. Also like the original owner, he is ready to separate them to get Han Cheng for himself.

Is this the unavoidable plot of the original novel?

Can the final outcome really change?

Can Han Cheng really stay with him instead of Bai Jian?

Can he really separate them without becoming cannon fodder in the future?

Shen Qingshu is actually not very sure. To put it bluntly, this is also his first time transmigrating into a novel. He has no experience, but it doesn’t matter. Shen Qingshu thinks that he has died once. What else is he afraid of?

Hewas lucky to get extra time originally, so if he became cannon fodder like the original novel in the end, then just become cannon fodder.

As long as Han Cheng can be happy.

He has already lived a good life. He has had family, friends and a successful career in the previous world. Han Cheng has not, so he is more important.

Shen Qingshu thought so and forced himself to stop thinking about it.

Taking out his script and he went over the scene to be shot tomorrow. He planned to wait until this time tomorrow to see if he still had these thoughts.

After reading the script for more than half an hour, Shen Qingshu’s spirit finally relaxed, and he his eyes gradually started drooping

Shen Qingshu put down the script and went to bed.

That night he had a dream. In the dream, he lived in a silver cage with vines and roses wrapped around it. It looked very gorgeous, but he couldn’t find an exit.

He looked at the rose that was almost the same size as himself. Depressed, he grabbed the rose petals, but he couldn’t pull them off. At this time, Han Cheng appeared.

Shen Qingshu looked at the giant like Han Cheng in surprise, and then looked at the roses about the same size as himself. Only then did he react that he seemed to have shrunk.

“What’s going on?” He asked Han Cheng.

Han Cheng looked down at him, “Didn’t you want to leave? Now it depends on if you can leave!”

Shen Qingshu: ? ? ? ?

Shen Qingshu protested breathlessly to him, “The agreed cage is gold and two metres high? What about this one? Is it two metres? Is it gold?”

“It’s platinum, not silver. It’s more expensive than gold.”

“Gold is hard currency, isn’t it?” Shen Qingshu was very dissatisfied. “I don’t want this cage. I want to change it.”

Then, he saw Han Cheng wave his hand, and dozens of cages appeared in an instant. Each was made of gold and each was exquisitely carved.

“Choose one.” Han Cheng said generously.

Shen Qingshu sat in his cage, looked at the new cages outside and began to choose which cage he wanted.

When Shen Qingshu was awakened by the alarm clock the next morning, he habitually recalled his dream, and the whole person was stunned.

What was that?!

Why was he so calm? Not asking questions, not trying to escape, but choosing a cage from within a cage!

Just choosing a cage in high spirits!

Shen Qingshu: …

Shen Qingshu thinks he is also a talent!

He got out of bed, washed, had dinner with Zhou Jianming and Xiao Li, and then went to the crew.

Meng Zhi hasn’t asked him to go to his room to play with him since he confessed to Shen Qingshu last time. He always chooses to practice onset. Shen Qingshu also felt awkward to talk about emotional things with him on the set for fear of being heard by gossipy people. Therefore, he has never had the opportunity to make his intentions clear.

Now that Han Cheng has left, the balance in Shen Qingshu’s heart has become crooked. So he knocked on Meng Zhi’s door with his new endorsement crisps, after filming in the evening.

Seeing it was him, Meng Zhi sighed silently in his heart – he had guessed Shen Qingshu’s intention and his own ending.

“My agent just signed me a crisp endorsement a few days ago. Today, the endorser sent me several boxes that I couldn’t finish alone, so I’m giving some to the rest of the crew. Xiao Li and they are sending it to others. Meng ge, you usually take care of me most, so to show my respect, I came to give it to you in person.”

“Thank you.” Meng Zhi said.

Shen Qingshu went in and put the bag on the tea table in his room. “Thank you, Meng ge, for taking care of me at ordinary times. As a junior, I’m really truly happy to meet a gentle predecessor like you. I’ve learned a lot in the past few days when I’m filming with you. But as myself, I will not be able to accept your feelings for me.”

“I’m sorry.” He finished.

Meng Zhi’s expression was very calm, his expression still as gentle as always. “I said, you don’t need to hurry to give me an answer. I can wait, I can afford to wait.”

“I know and I’m extremely thankful.” Shen Qingsaid gent;y, “Thank you for liking me and waiting for me, but no matter how long you wait, I can only have this answer. Meng ge, I already have someone I care about very much, so I can’t accept your feelings. I also hope you can meet someone who can make you happy.

“And you?” Meng Zhi asked him, “have you met someone who can make you happy?”

“This is my business.” Shen Qingshu smiled.

Meng Zhi looked at the smile on his face. His smile was cunning and his eyes were full of clarity as he said, “Thank you. Then I’m leaving now.”

“Are you still single?” Meng Zhi asked him.

Shen Qingshu looked at him with a smile, “I’ll never be.”

“But not because of me.”

“En.”

“What if… What if I met you earlier than him?”

Shen Qingshu suddenly found at this moment that the so-called fate is actually relative.

He always thought that Bai Jian and Han Cheng had a strong fate, so they would meet again and again.

However, he and Han Cheng actually have their own fate. In that he will transmigrate to before the beginning of the plot and get to know Han Cheng before he met Bai Jian.

Furthermore, he crossed time and space, came here and met Han Cheng.

They are also destined.

“There will be no such if.” Shen Qingshu said softly, “because fate has helped you make the best choice and I’m not your best choice. So your best choice is still to come. Wait for him patiently. Maybe he will appear later, undoubtedly he will suit you better than me.”

Meng Zhi stopped talking.

He looked at the person in front of him. He obviously looked very young, but unexpectedly, under the bright public appearance, he had a gentle and rational heart, which was more transparent than he thought.

Meng Zhi smiled slowly, “All right.”

He said, “then I hope he can show up earlier.”

“Yes.” Shen Qingshu replied.

He opened the door and went out. Meng Zhi looked at his back that slowly walked away and did not once look back.

He took a stroll inside his heart, sprinkled a handful of sunshine, but soon disappeared. Now he could no longer find a trace, floating light and falling shadow, and finally nothingness.

He closed the door and still lingered on the tantalising shadow.

Unfortunately, he is not his fate.

Shen Qingshu and Meng Zhi made it clear and they resumed their colleague relationship. Meng Zhi still practised the script with him every day and taught him how to give better play to his acting advantages, the difference is the lack of personal communication.

Shen Qingshu thinks this is very good. They have more than a month of scenes together, he doesn’t want to be too awkward with Meng Zhi. Fortunately, the other party is not an overly entangled person.

However, Meng Zhi is not, but some people are. At noon on Thursday, Shen Qingshu finished filming very late. He hurried to eat on the set and didn’t go back to the hotel. Instead, he slept in the nanny car for a while.

When he woke up and got out of the car to go back to the set to continue filming, he accidentally heard someone arguing.

It’s the voice of two men. He can’t recognise one, but he can the other. It’s Bai Jian.

Shen Qingshu heard Bai Jian’s aggrieved questioning as he said, “What are you here for this time?”
