Chapter 38

Gradually, Director Zhang’s anger subsided. When he heard Qi Yuying sobbing on the other end of the phone, he could not help but feel sorry for this obedient, beautiful, and talented girl.

“Sigh, Yuying. Don’t blame Uncle Zhang for criticizing you. I’ve been in this industry for so many years, and you’re the most talented screenwriter I’ve ever seen. I really don’t want you to…”

As he spoke, Director Zhang, who thought of his past experiences, could not help but sob. It was precisely because he had a bad temper and did not have a good relationship with the people in the circle. He was not famous enough, so he was always tripped up by others. From filming a movie to filming a TV series, and finally being reduced to helping a local station shoot a drama, it could be said that his situation kept worsening. Now that he was able to make a comeback in this industry, he was most grateful to Qi Yuying. That was why he had been helping her. He did not want to see this young lady get hurt in any way.

“Uncle Zhang, I’m sorry! I’m sorry!” Hearing Director Zhang’s whimpers, Qi Yuying could not hold it in anymore. She hugged Yang Hua and burst into tears.

Seeing that Qi Yuying was crying so hard that she couldn’t even continue listening to the phone call, Yang Hua couldn’t care less about the awkwardness. As he hugged her and comforted her, he took the phone and told Director Zhang.

“Director Zhang, Yuying, she…”

“Yes, I understand. You don’t have to say it. Fortunately, she still had a script for an episode with me. I’ve already covered for her!” Director Zhang said in a calm voice, “Yang Hua, tell her not to worry. I’ve read the script for this episode. I’ll definitely film it better than before. Tell her to write properly, and don’t worry about not writing well.

“I’m not a useless director. If there’s a small problem with the script, I’ll think of a solution for her. I still have to go to the studio later. Goodbye.”

“Yuying, don’t cry. Director Zhang said there’s still hope!” After hanging up the phone, Yang Hua gently comforted Qi Yuying with this good news.

“Mhm.” Qi Yuying could not stop sobbing. She nodded gently and whispered into his ear in a slightly hoarse voice, “Thank you.”

“It’s what I should do.” After Yang Hua said this, the two of them fell silent.

Qi Yuying’s emotions gradually calmed down. However, when she stopped crying, Yang Hua became awkward again. Judging from their current situation, he seemed to be too intimate with Qi Yuying. However, Qi Yuying did not seem to notice it at all. Even though she had stopped crying, she was still lying in Yang Hua’s arms like a docile kitten, her body sticking tightly to him.

“Yuying?” In his awkwardness, Yang Hua called out softly, hoping that Qi Yuying would let go of his arm.

“Hmm?” Although Qi Yuying answered, she still hugged Yang Hua tightly and did not move.

“I… I want to go to the toilet.” In his panic, Yang Hua came up with an extremely clumsy excuse and struggled to escape from Qi Yuying’s embrace. Then, he flew into the kitchen again.

What was going on recently? Yang Hua desperately used cold water to rinse his confused head while thinking uncontrollably. It seemed that from the moment he met Qi Yuying… No, it should have started a little earlier. His luck with women seemed to have flipped from extremely bad to extremely good from the previous twenty-four years. The temptation that came to him one after another made Yang Hua, who had always been firm, somewhat unable to resist.

After all, Qi Yuying, Feng Xiuying, and Tang Xin were all outstanding. So outstanding that it was impossible for Yang Hua not to be tempted. Especially Qi Yuying. Yang Hua had been with her for almost two months. During this period, not only did they have intimate contact, but he also heard her confession of her devotion. And now, she was acting all flirtatious.

If Yang Hua didn’t have any dirty thoughts in front of such a beautiful girl, it didn’t mean that he was upright, but that there was something wrong with his sexual orientation.

However, if he wanted to accept her, Yang Hua’s heart would always have a thorn in it. It was a thorn that he could not ignore. Therefore, he could only play dumb and not say anything or listen to anything.

After Yang Hua rinsed under the tap for a full five minutes and finally calmed himself down, Qi Yuying walked out of the room. At this moment, she had completely regained her composure.

“Did Director Zhang really say that he used the script I gave him previously?” She found a chair in the living room and sat down.

“Yes. Oh, right. Isn’t that what I wrote for you last time…” At this point, Yang Hua awkwardly stopped talking. He knew that Qi Yuying hated it when others touched her script.

Qi Yuying was not angry at all. Instead, she played with the silk edge of the tablecloth with both hands and lowered her head. “Sigh… I owe you one more favor. How many favors do I owe you?”

“Don’t say that.” Yang Hua quickly waved his hand. “Then how much do I owe you for letting me stay here?”

“It’s not like you haven’t done anything. Every day, you cooked, washed the dishes and clothes, cleaned the room, and folded the blanket. Also, you helped me to change the script…” At this point, Qi Yuying suddenly raised her head and said half-jokingly with a slightly flushed face, “Speaking of which, you really have the talent to be a stay-at-home husband.

“Why don’t you marry me and stay here as my househusband for the rest of your life?”

“Hehe… Don’t make fun of me.” Yang Hua smiled awkwardly at Qi Yuying as he walked back to his room and locked the door.

Qi Yuying also smiled at Yang Hua jokingly until he completely disappeared behind the door of the room. The smile on her face gradually disappeared and turned into a pouting expression. “Who’s joking with you? You’re really a block of wood!” She muttered to herself softly and ran back to her room in a fit of pique, locking the door.

However, from then on, Qi Yuying’s life finally returned to normal. In the morning, she woke up on time and started writing the script for the new episode. Yang Hua, on the other hand, brought breakfast into Qi Yuying’s room and placed it beside her computer desk.

At noon, Qi Yuying, who had finished writing half of the script, called Yang Hua into the room to correct the typos. Yang Hua could tell from Qi Yuying’s expression that she was very confident in the script for the latest episode.

Sure enough, it was only a short 7,000-word script, but Yang Hua managed to laugh four times. However, in this latest script, Yang Hua was surprised to find that Qi Yuying actually used the concept that he had suggested to her before. In this drama that originally teased the two confused but very cute girls, she added one or more characters that were teased by the two girls instead.
