CH 61

It was a strange coincidence. Although they each had different intentions, but the final result still coincided with the ‘fight’ in the original plot. Even though the nature of their fight was completely different from the original plot, this didn’t prevent them from successfully completing the plot by mistake.

After his feelings of impulsiveness passed, Fu Yichen’s feverish mind began to cool down slowly. Although he was a little unsatisfied and was feeling embarrassed, his impulsiveness was already reduced by half.

Fu Yichen sat on the sofa in a suit and leather shoes. He picked up the half-cold coffee on the table and took a big sip. He then leisurely glanced at Su Zhan who was sitting beside him.

Su Zhan, in a state of extreme embarrassment and inner entanglement, sorted out his clothes that were messed up by a certain someone. This action also resolved the problem of his hands that had no place to rest because of his extreme embarrassment at the moment. But his pair of eyes still never fell on Fu Yichen from the beginning till the end.

The huge office was silent for a while and the scene seemed to be stuck in an embarrassing situation. Fu Yichen couldn’t help but pretend to inadvertently glance at Su Zhan several times. Looking at his handsome face, it seemed that only Su Zhan’s slightly rosy face was the remaining aftertaste of the actions they did before. Fu Yichen could sense that Su Zhan felt at a loss, especially when he looked at him. When his1 eyes fell on him2, the subtle expression on the latter’s face was particularly obvious. But on the other hand, Fu Yichen also felt a strange depressive feeling from his expression.

“Still angry?” Fu Yichen broke the awkwardness with a smile.

“I’m not angry.” Su Zhan said lightly. There was nothing to be angry about. He just felt inexplicably depressed, that’s all.

Fu Yichen thought that he was still angry about the Female Lead. So he got closer, trying to explain the situation to him. Although he was unable to tell the truth directly, he could at least find a suitable reason to explain.

As a result, as soon as Fu Yichen moved over his butt, the person who was sitting next to him turned his head as if he was startled. After a moment of being stunned, he choked out a few words, “What are you doing?”

Truthfully, Su Zhan just sensed that someone was approaching him from the corner of his vision. As he was distracted due to his actions in that awkward atmosphere, he had a false alarm.

Su Zhan’s reaction made Fu Yichen stunned for a moment. Especially when Su Zhan looked at him with such wide eyes. When the words came to his lips, the topic suddenly turned a corner and the words that came out became, “Do you have any smokes3?”

Embarrassment could sometimes be relieved by smoking a cigarette or two. Fu Yichen wasn’t a smoker, but occasionally he would smoke once in a while. As a qualified actor, smoking was a necessary skill that he should know.

But Su Zhan was different from him. His journey to be a star could be said to be very smooth. He had a good opportunity to be popular as soon as he debuted. He had always been favored by idol dramas because of his appearance and temperament, especially Mary Sue dramas. A high-quality Male Lead should never be a smoker. For example, this high and cold business emperor was one of those Male Leads who didn’t smoke.

Besides, Su Zhan didn’t actually smoke in reality either. So where could he find any cigarettes in his office?

Just when Su Zhan hesitated, Fu Yichen changed his words once more, “Forget it.” After all, even if the other person had cigarettes, he couldn’t really smoke in another person’s office.

Su Zhan pursed his lips and said nothing. He again felt embarrassed for a while. Truthfully, the two of them felt a little upset at this point.

Admittedly, the pause just now was really embarrassing. Even if Fu Yichen concealed it well at the moment, he still got terribly annoyed by thinking to himself why didn’t he just continue. Maybe he could be self-taught at the critical moment. Well, the duck that finally reached his mouth was released by himself and there was none left right now. The key point was, it was unknown when he could do it again the next time.

And as for Su Zhan, he was just annoyed at himself because he was a little reserved at that time. But in the end… he could only shed tears.

At this moment, the nanny that Fu Yichen had arranged to take care of the Female Lead suddenly called him. After a moment of hesitation, Fu Yichen still answered the phone. He didn’t notice that Su Zhan, whose eyes weren’t on him, also pricked up his ears for a moment.

“Li-shao, Zhu-xiaojie4 hasn’t eaten or taken medicine since yesterday. We… we can’t do anything else. Zhu-xiaojie’s body is already weak. What else should we do if this continues?”

Obviously, she sounded very anxious when speaking. Fu Yichen held up the phone and unconsciously glanced at Su Zhan at the side, only to find that he was also looking at him. He turned away immediately when he noticed Fu Yichen looking at him.

“Okay, I understand.” Fu Yichen hung up the phone after replying.

He then turned his head, leaned slightly towards Su Zhan and said earnestly, “Can you give me a chance to explain?”

Without thinking, Su Zhan replied with two words, “No need.” After replying, he realized that he was in no position to say this. But he couldn’t hold back his feelings, so he had no choice but to keep a sullen face.

Fu Yichen couldn’t hold back his laughter. Su Zhan’s ‘No need.’ inexplicably brought him a sense of happiness. Just like seeing a jealous wife venting his anger. It was a kind of happiness and enjoyment that came from the heart.

But having said that, it happened that Fu Yichen didn’t really have any suitable excuses. He also wanted to wait until the plot was almost coming to an end and then play his move. He wanted to find a suitable reason and opportunity to test and find out Su Zhan’s real mission.

So Fu Yichen got up suddenly and said, “That’s good.” He made a gesture to indicate that he was going to leave, “I’ll go back and deal with some things first. I’ll find you another day.”

Truthfully speaking, Su-xiaoshou5 felt a little dumbfounded in front of such a man who didn’t explain just because he said there was no need to. There’s no feelings between men and women between them6, so why couldn’t he give him an explanation?

But before leaving, Fu Yichen bowed once more, leaned towards Su Zhan and said seriously, “No matter what I’m going to do, you must trust me.”

Su Zhan didn’t respond and still had a sullen face. Fu Yichen wasn’t in a hurry to get a reply. After he left, big Film Emperor Su sat in the office in his suit and leather shoes and ground his teeth for a long time while facing the sofa that he had just sat on. It was impossible for Fu Yichen to know this though.

After all, he was a living person. No matter how much Fu Yichen regarded the Female Lead as a pure NPC, looking at her greyed-out face and dead eyes, Fu Yichen couldn’t help but let out a long sigh.

“Zhu Qianqian, are you torturing yourself so that you can give those that abandoned you a reason to laugh at you and bully you?”

Finally, there was a flicker in the Female Lead’s dead eyes. Those eyes that were empty, slowly moved and finally her gaze landed on Fu Yichen.

Fu Yichen’s heart jumped for no reason. The plot in the original text was that the Second Male meticulously helped the Female Lead through the most difficult period of her life. This was also the biggest bargaining chip for the Second Male to shake the relationship between the Male and Female Lead.

Looking at it now, no matter if Fu Yichen took care of the Female Lead in every possible way or whether he had to spend more than 20 days to enlighten her, in the end it must still be him who had to accompany her through her low period.

Thinking of this, Fu Yichen really had to spend time with the Female Lead. Otherwise, even though this plot wasn’t that important, it was not going to be easy to pass through this.

Therefore, Fu Yichen had to be a patient spiritual mentor for the Female Lead. He poured nourishing chicken soup for the soul7 to her for several days until the Female Lead revived with full blood and began to eat. Fu Yichen was then finally relieved.

Fortunately, it didn’t take him more than 20 days like in the plot.

It was only at this point that Fu Yichen had the time to find Su Zhan. The next plot relied mainly on the Female Lead. Even the Male Lead had no chance to play.

The resurrected Female Lead planned to start all over again and forget about the man who she loved the most and who had hurt her the most. But at this moment, the Male Lead’s mother approached her and gave her the final blow, telling her to leave and never appear in front of the Male Lead. She gave her a ‘cheque for 100 million yuan’ that the Female Lead tore up in anger. The Female Lead simply left and disappeared from their lives. Then it made the four men who loved her unable to bear to continue living. Especially the Male Lead who regretted his past actions and vowed to ‘see her even if it was just her corpse’.

Originally, the book was from the Female Lead’s perspective. During the period before the Female Lead completely disappeared, let alone the Second Male, even the Male Lead had no appearances. Fu Yichen was sure that their meeting wouldn’t have any impact on the plot.

As long as he thought of Su Zhan, Fu Yichen couldn’t help but smile. Once one started to care about someone, one couldn’t wait to meet them every time. Not seeing that someone for a day would be like three autumns8. Fu Yichen finally experienced this personally.

So Su Zhan, who was sleeping that night, was suddenly awakened by the ringing of his mobile phone. Although he had changed bodies, he was still Su Zhan. He couldn’t help but wake up and the irritability from being woken up was strong. What’s more, because of a certain someone, he tossed and turned almost every night until the early hours of the morning.

So Su Zhan, who was woken up at the moment, could be said to have a complexion as dark as thunder clouds before a storm, especially when he saw that the time was 4 o’clock in the morning. He was furious.

But in the next second, a familiar voice caused the storm to stop and made Su Zhan sit up straight from bed in fright.

“I’m outside your house.” The familiar voice with undeniable aggressiveness commanded Su Zhan, “I’ll give you ten minutes. Come down quickly.”

He sounded so domineering it made Su Zhan, who was still a little confused, almost explode. Su Zhan jumped out of bed and rushed towards the floor-to-ceiling window with bare feet. He then opened a small gap in the curtains and sure enough, he saw a car parked under the streetlight outside his villa. The tall man that leaned on the car under the street light was so handsome that he seemed brighter than the street light. His eyes seemed to be looking in the direction of the window.

Su Zhan woke up completely in an instant. Whether it was the scene he just saw or how he perceived his emotions at the moment, he felt that all of it was too dreamy and unexpected. Su Zhan was stunned for dozens of seconds. Most importantly, why was this person acting crazy in the middle of the night?

“Li-hao, what kind of illness did you get in the middle of the night?” Although Su Zhan seemed to be hooked by his domineering words, his tone in replying to him wasn’t so good.

“I’ll take you somewhere.” The other party unexpectedly sounded happy, “Remember to wear a coat. It’s a bit cold.”

He was domineering yet gentle. It was just terrible. Su Zhan patted his dazed face to wake himself up. He always felt that the air was filled with the smell of a ‘Mary Sue’. But why did this feeling of ‘Su’ come to him instead?

But well, Su-xiaoshou, who was in love, absolutely couldn’t bear the impact of such an aggressive attack. He felt as if his heart was about to jump out of his mouth. God knew what was the matter with his uncontrollable excitement.

Could this be the feeling of being in love? Su Zhan, who was emotionally blank, only sensed that he felt as if he wanted to die previously but now he had come back to life. This was really an amazing feeling.

When he came back to his senses, three minutes had already passed. Su Zhan suddenly rushed back towards his bed and then rushed towards the closet with his slippers on at a speed of 100 metres per second. He rummaged through his closet to get a set of casual clothes. Then he rushed towards the bathroom to wash his face and rinse his mouth, along with fixing his hair.

There were three minutes left. Su Zhan took a deep breath in front of the mirror and swallowed all the impetuous thoughts he had back into his stomach. He then took another deep breath, turned around gracefully and walked down the stairs leisurely with the temperament of a big boss.

From his house to his car, three minutes were enough. No, it would take at least four minutes.

Su Zhan thought so, but when he walked towards the door downstairs, he suddenly saw the butler who had gotten up because he heard a noise.

The old butler looked a bit puzzled, “Young master, what’s this?” The old butler almost thought that his young master was sleepwalking.

Su Zhan was actually taken aback by him. After all, he inherently was a timid person. The key point was that at this moment, he had an inexplicable illusion as if he was caught by his parents and so, he felt a little guilty. But not long after, he turned serious and said, “I’m going out for a while.”

“Ah… Then pay attention to safety, young master” The butler replied, although he was feeling a little doubtful.

The moment he opened the door, Su Zhan suddenly remembered something because of the butler. Then the next second, under the surprised gaze of the butler, he suddenly turned around and went upstairs once more. His pace was a little hurried.

Truthfully, he just remembered the cigarettes he had the butler prepare a few days ago. Although he was not a person that smoked, at the very least, the next time a certain person asked him for cigarettes, he could take them out gracefully.

However, because there was news of a certain someone staying by the Mary Sue’s side for a few days, Su Zhan threw aside the cigarettes as soon as he got angry of his ‘stupid behaviour’ of asking the butler to prepare it for him.

So he rummaged through the boxes and his cabinets in a hurry. Fortunately, he finally found the pack of cigarettes in the corner of the sofa.

Putting it in his pocket and heading out, he showed the appearance of Gu Chenfeng who stood on top of the food chain. Su Zhan felt as if he was schizophrenic and was completely embarrassed to look at the butler’s eyes that were filled with suspicion.

Fu Yichen stood in front of his car, looking at Su Zhan who was slowly approaching him from the gate of the villa. He raised his hand to look at his watch. He arrived after twelve minutes. As expected, he put on airs9.

A smile unconsciously bloomed at the corner of his mouth.

Xinghe, we don’t need a footnote here. But I know you’ll probably ask for one so fine. It’s like saying not seeing someone for a day, time passes by so slowly it’s as long as the passing of three autumns. Xinghe: I didn’t ask for one. *Stares at chu*
