CFJTM Chapter 157. Avoided calamity part 2

Although, it seems that his gold owner is not very good at present.

Otherwise, Cui Hao would not have time to be playing a supporting role here. Alas!

Shen Qingshu decided to take Cui Hao with him if he has the chance in the future. Cui Hao’s acting skills are good, his image is good, but he lacks resources. He’s not even a canary, more like a little sparrow.

The shooting is progressing steadily. Han Cheng will visit the set once a week, and Shen Qingshu will also regularly post some stills on his weibo to keep his popularity. Continuing like this, it’s now December, the weather is getting colder and colder, and the actors have been killed one by one.

Yao Lu, is one of the main characters and was one of the first to finish filming. She highly valued this movie, so she kept telling Mei Ruo and Shen Qingshu when she left, “If there is anything to make up later, contact me at any time, and I will come back.”

“Okay.” Shen Qingshu sent her away with a smile.

Soon, he sent the others off one after another.

There are fewer and fewer actors left on the set, and Shen Qingshu is inexplicably sad.

When he finished and said farewell to the crew in the past, although he would be reluctant to part, most of the time, it was the joy of finishing.

But now, as he watched these actors leave one by one, he felt a little lonely.

Bai Xuege said to him, “You are in the mindset of a literati. You are too sensitive.”

He took Shen Qingshu to have dinner together and drank some fruit wine. They talked all night and Shen Qingshu’s mood was relieved.

Bai Xuege looked at his  schedule, and he was almost finished too.

He worried about whether Shen Qingshu will feel uncomfortable after he leaves.

Because of this, Bai Xuege specially rescheduled several scenes, and forcefully postponed the time of him finishing by half a month.

Shen Qingshu didn’t notice at first. By the time he realised it, Bai Xuege had been in the cast for an extra week.

He hugged Bai Xuege excitedly and said to him, “Xiao Bai, you are so kind.”

“Let go, let go.” Bai Xuege hurriedly said, “Be careful of Han Cheng seeing us.”

“He won’t be jealous of you.” Shen Qing chuckled, “The last thing he will eat is your jealousy.”

Bai Xuege: “Why? Is our relationship not sincere and touching enough?”

Shen Qingshu looked at him with a smile and touched his puppy head. He didn’t dare to say that Han Cheng only treated you as a child.

Wu Jing looked at the scene from afar, feeling envious and jealous.

He couldn’t help asking Han Cheng: [Are you sure your wife and my didi have nothing going on?]

Han Cheng is calm: [You think everyone is a beast like you.]

Wu Jing: …

Wu Jing quietly put away his mobile phone. He also wanted to hug his didi.

The new year is coming. Shen Qingshu doesn’t want everyone to stay in the crew for the new year, so he hurried ahead and planned to finish filming by the end of December.

Mei Ruo listened to his plan and felt regretful. She was waiting for a snowy day to reshoot the showdown between Chen Ai and Su Qing,

That way, the picture is sure to be beautiful.

Shen Qingshu can’t wait for snow.

However, she didn’t contradict. After all, snow scenery is hard to come by. Even if she does wait until January, there may not be any snowfall, so it’s not worth wasting everyone’s time.

Fortunately, she was very lucky. A few days before Bai Xuege was finished, it suddenly snowed.

Mei Ruo saw snowflakes, and excitedly arranged the equipment. She told the field staff to rearrange the scene and told Bai Xuege and Shen Qingshu to prepare to reshoot.

Shen Qingshu did not expect that she still had such intentions. Upon consideration, he understood.

He spontaneously added a line and an action for Chen Ai.

Bai Xuege said in surprise, “Is this all right?”

“Yes, just listen to me.” Shen Qingshu said decisively.

Bai Xuege also nodded and agreed.

Mei Ruo waited until there was a layer of snow on the roof of the building before telling Shen Qingshu and Bai Xuege to begin.

On the white snow, Su Qing is pure as light, and Chen Ai is gloomy as darkness.

He looked at the snow scene in front of him, quiet and silent, as if he was appreciating it.

Su Qing vaguely guessed his intention and tried to get close to him, but he was not permitted.

Trying to inch forward little by little, Su Qing called out his name anxiously, but he dared not go over.

Chen Ai asked him, “Why did you come find me?”

“I know.” Su Qing stated.

He looked at Chen Ai with complicated emotions in his eyes. He said, “You killed them.”

Chen Ai smiled and asked him, “Why do you say that?”

He looked at Su Qing askew, his pale face with delicate features and a childish smile.

Su Qing looked at him and described his past and criminal actions sentence by sentence.

The wind is strong, and Chen Ai’s clothes are flapping noisily.

Su Qing thinks he is probably cold, but Chen Ai doesn’t seem cold at all. He is very proud, arrogant and relishing.

Su Qing advised him, “Go and turn yourself in. You are still young. Do you want to leave like this?”

“Why not?” Chen Ai looked at the world at his feet. “I’m tired of it. I want to leave.”

“Chen Ai, death can’t solve anything. You being like this…”

“Officer Su, do you really think it would be different if I turned myself in?” He looked at Su Qing with a picturesque appearance, just like an immortal. “I killed four people, not one person, it was intentional murder, so it would be useless for me to turn myself in. You know that you can’t persuade me, don’t you?”

Su Qing was silent.

Of course he knows, but he is a policeman, and he hopes that everything will be solved by law.

Chen Ai looks back at him. Su Qing asks him, “Do you want to hear a story?”

“You can tell me.”

Su Qing walked step by step closer to him and slowly told his story.

He looked at Chen Ai as he described his own sombre history and how he sometimes hated his mother or other people.

When he hated them most, he even thought that it would be better if they died together. It was better to get rid of everything than his mother being nervous all the time and him not being able to live as himself.

But the more pained he felt, the more he wanted to feel the sweetness in others’ descriptions. So he stood up again and again and continued to move forward.

“Come here.” He held out his hand to Chen Ai. “The death penalty is not a quick process. You can have an indefinite amount of time. As long as it is indefinite, there is still a chance to come out. You can be a new man after you accept the punishment of the law. You have given up the law once before. Now, do you want to give it up again? You are not a god, Chen Ai. You cannot judge yourself. You need to face what you did. That is the right thing to do, you know that don’t you?”

He said, “Come here and I will accompany you to surrender. Even if you are really tired of the world and you want to leave, you should also face your mistakes squarely, instead of avoiding everything and committing suicide. This is what you should do and this is the choice you should make, isn’t it?”

“Choosing this method will make you inferior to your mother.”

Chen Ai seems to be a little hesitant after listening to him. He looked at Su Qing and slowly moved a toe towards him.

Su Qing was ecstatic but dared not show it. He just held out his hand and waited for him.

When he saw Chen Ai hesitating, he thought of something and said, “If you go like this, what will your jiejie do? She has only one family member.”

Jiejie?

Chen Ai stopped the impulsive action at this moment.

He thought of JiaJia, thought of JiaJia sitting in the room crying, and asked him, “What will happen to xiao Ai? Will you be okay? I’m so scared. I’m afraid they will find you and I’m afraid they will catch you.”
