Bai Xuege was playing a game when he suddenly saw Han Cheng’s phone call coming in. It’s so late. What’s the matter with him?

Bai Xuege curiously picked it up and heard Han Cheng’s roar from his mobile phone, “He has no heart!”

Bai Xuege:… Well, he knows what else Han Cheng will call him for. It must be Shen Qingshu!

After all, only the two of them are the backbone members of [The Shen Qingshu victims alliance] and of course, they are the only members.

“He has no feelings at all! Scum man, scum man, big scum man! He’s heartless!”

“What’s the matter? What’s the matter?” Bai Xuege listened to his roar, “What happened between you two?”

“The two of us? Where can we have between us? How can there be talk about the two of us? The two of us? You overestimate me.”

Bai xuege: … It seems that the matter is quite serious. Listen to these abnormal words.

“A quarrel? Oh, don’t be angry. There must be a misunderstanding here. Shen Qingshu is so kind to you. There must be something you don’t know. Tell me, what’s going on?”

“No misunderstanding.” Han Cheng said, “what misunderstandings can we have? We are open and clear. Others just want to fall in love with Meng Zhi. What misunderstandings are there? What misunderstandings can there be when it comes to this?”

“No way,” Bai xuege was stunned. He hasn’t chatted with Shen Qingshu for two days. How did the plot develop like this? Falling in love with Meng Zhi, Shen Qingshu?

“Isn’t he with you? Why does he want to be with Meng Zhi now?”

“Good question. I also want to know. Are my flowers not as fragrant as wild flowers? Even if he wants to leave me for a wild flower, shouldn’t he find someone worthy? What’s with this dog’s tail grass?1  Addicted to poverty alleviation?”

Bai Xuege: …

“Although Meng Zhi is really worse than you, he’s not as low as dog’s tail grass. It’s mainly because your identity is too high, no one can compare with you except your gege.”

“Did I call you to hear you defend him?” Han Cheng angrily rebuked.

Bai Xuege immediately straightened his attitude, “you’re right. Compared with you, he’s a dog tail grass that can’t be taken out. What’s wrong with Shen Qingshu’s vision!”

“Yes! Is he crazy? It’s fine if he loves to donate to the ‘hope school project’,2  but what’s with his obsession with poverty alleviation?!”

“But isn’t he falling in love with you? How can he fall in love with Meng Zhi?” Bai Xuege asked the key point.

“I’m not in love with him.” Han Cheng said.

Bai Xuege: ? ? ? ?

“Wait a minute!!!”

Bai Xuege thought the plot was wrong. “You’ve been chasing for so long, haven’t you both stabilised? Why haven’t you talked about love yet?”

“How can I fall in love with him?” Han Cheng was so angry that he didn’t pay attention to acting. He said directly, “What are you thinking about?”

Bai Xuege: ? ? ? ?

“You don’t want to fall in love with him, so why have you chased him for so long?! Still hiding your identity?! Good guy, you were the scum man all this time!”

Han Cheng: ? ? ?

“Why am I scum?”

“How are you not scum! What did you say when I asked you on the set? Didn’t you say you were serious and promised me? What happened now? You just played with other people’s feelings!”

“I said Shen Qingshu was so kind to you. Obviously, you were both going steady. How could he suddenly want to fall in love with Meng Zhi? Now that everything has come to light, I also think Meng Zhi is very good. You’re the dog tail grass!”

Han Cheng: ! ! !

“Do you know what you’re talking about now? Which side are you on? Are you Meng Zhi’s relative and friend?”

“I’m not Meng Zhi’s relative and friend, but I’m Shen Qingshu’s relative and friend. You’ve played with people’s feelings for half a year and irresponsibly chased him. How nice your words were when chasing him and went as far as to pretend to be a driver. As a result, when the person has been caught, you don’t cherish it, don’t want to give an official position and don’t admit that you’re in love. What else can I think?”

“I think you’re crazy?! Dare to call me now and want me to stand on your side. If I don’t scold you, I’m wasting my 12 years of education!”

Han Cheng: …

“Things are not what you think!”

“Why not? Didn’t you say you were chasing him? Didn’t you come as a driver to our crew? Didn’t you continuously express that you wanted to fall in love with him? Also, what’s the status of Han Shao? Someone worth billions. How can a little star like Shen Qingshu climb up? So I think Meng Zhi is very good. They happen to both be actors, have a common language and are more suitable.”

Han Cheng: …

“You’re trying to make me die of anger, aren’t you?”

“Don’t worry, I’ll burn paper money for you during the Spring Festival. I’ll give you a CD about them by the way and let you listen to their love.”

Han Cheng: …

Han Cheng was so angry that he hung up the phone. This dog thing, he knew that minors were unreliable!

However, as soon as he finished roasting in his heart, his phone rang. Han Cheng looked down and saw that it was Bai Xuege.

Han Cheng hung up immediately and Bai Xuege made persistent efforts.

Han Cheng was so angry that he picked it up again. Before he opened his mouth, he heard Bai Xuege’s angry words first, “You dare to hang up on me! You scum man!”

“One more word and I’ll hang up now.”

Bai Xuege was so infuriated with him, “You’re a pig! Why are you so stupid! Pigs are smarter than you! He’s been with you for so long, and now he suddenly says he wants to fall in love with Meng Zhi. Isn’t it clear enough? Can’t you move your stupid little head and think about the deep meaning? Really can’t? Just hear a few words and dare to hang up my call?! Do you really want him to fall in love with Meng Zhi?!”

“What do you mean?”

“What else can this mean?” Bai Xuege was desperate. “Are all adults so dull? Oh, no, maybe you’re the only one so dull.”

Han Cheng: …

Han Cheng wants to hang up again.

“You have to use your little brain,” Bai Xuege advised him, “He has been with you for so long and he used half his salary to buy a watch for you. Because you don’t want him to spend the new year with me, he really stayed alone. He must like you.”

“He likes you. He thought you liked him too. Yet in the end, you don’t want to fall in love with him at all. Can he still stay with you? What’s his identity? In case someone says they like you later, should Shen Qingshu intervene or not?”

“If he does, he’s not your boyfriend. Why doesn’t he let others like you; if he doesn’t, won’t he be the one heartbroken?”

“You don’t want to fall in love with him from the bottom of your heart. Even if you don’t say it, you must have shown something in your actions. He must have felt it, so he decided to leave you and be together with Meng Zhi. At least Meng Zhi is willing to fall in love with him and can give him the position of his boyfriend. What about you? You don’t want to give him a position, but you also want him to stay around you and waste time. How can you act like that?”

Han Cheng: …

Han Cheng suddenly remembered what Shen Qingshu said:

——”But I can’t be a gun friend with you all my life. I always want to fall in love.”

——”Aren’t you going to fall in love in the future? If you do, we will separate and you will forget me sooner or later. Our relationship can’t last forever.”

So, did he actually want an official position?

But…

Han Cheng is a little confused, but how can he fall in love with Shen Qingshu?

In his love plans, he never wanted it to start like this and had never thought of the possibility of him and Shen Qingshu.

Bai Xuege waited for a while, seeing that he didn’t speak, he was inevitably disappointed with him. “Han Cheng, I always thought you were actually quite a good person. After all, you seemed sincere to him, but now, it seems you weren’t sincere at all.”

“Think about it for yourself. You are different from Shen Qingshu. What’s your identity? If you want to fall in love, no matter when and at what age, as long as you say a word, there are so many men and women waiting in line for you to choose.”

“But Shen Qingshu is different. He doesn’t have such good conditions as you. While you have the capital to play with him, he doesn’t have the time to waste with you. He wants to leave you and find someone with similar conditions. It’s normal for him to not want to play with you like this.”

“I didn’t play with his feelings.” Han Cheng explained, “things between us are not as straightforward as you think.”

“But in the end in your relationship, he is objectively weak. Can you deny this?”

Han Cheng does not deny, this is indeed true.

“So think for yourself,” Bai Xuege said. “If you can treat him well and are willing to fall in love and get married with him according to the normal process, then go to him, apologise to him and tell him what you think.”

“If you can’t do it, and you really think you can’t fall in love with him, as you said, let him be with Meng Zhi. Meng Zhi may not be on par with your money or status, at least he and Shen Qingshu are compatible. They are suitable and it is reasonable for Shen Qingshu to choose him.”

Han Cheng: …

Han Cheng leaned against the driver’s seat and only felt a headache.

He and Shen Qing are not in that type of relationship. How can they talk about love?

At this moment, Han Cheng suddenly felt that he didn’t even understand what love is.

“What is love?” He said unconsciously.

Bai  Xuege: ? ? ? ?

“You, an adult, asked me, a minor, what love is? I haven’t experienced puppy love. How can I know!”

Han Cheng ignored him and meditated quietly.

Bai Xuege recalled the novels he had read and the plots he had filmed, “It’s nothing more than to like him, love him, want to kiss him, stand hand in hand, blushing, rapid heartbeat and want to be with each other every day. If you are not together one day, you will miss him very much. Feel angry when you see him holding hands and kissing others. That’s it.”

Han Cheng: …

That seems no different from his usual relationship with Shen Qingshu?

Han Cheng was a little confused, “That’s it?”

“If you are an adult, falling in love may create harmony in life, but it is taboo for us minors, so I can’t say.”

Han Cheng: …

“You have a pretty clear idea of it.”

“Of course. After all, I’m supervised by people all over the country.”

Han Cheng laughed at the thought of his huge number of mother fans and the sentence “mother doesn’t allow it”. However, for Bai Xuege, the most difficult thing in the world is definitely not winning awards, but puppy love.

——His agent and his huge fan group are always watching.

“Okay, I understand. Thank you.”

Han Cheng felt that his mood was not as irritable as before. It seemed that he had finally calmed down.

Bai Xuege also noticed, “Then think about it, but really, don’t be a scum man. Since you were so angry when you called me, it proves that you still like him. Since you like him, you can either get together or break off cleanly. Don’t become two enemies in the end and make it uncomfortable for everyone.”

Han Cheng thought for a while and didn’t speak.

He hung up the phone and sat quietly in the car, thinking about his relationship with Shen Qingshu. Finally, he thought of Shen Qingshu standing on the other side of the bed, saying he wanted to break the relationship with him.

He really wants to fall in love. He said he doesn’t like Meng Zhi. Han Cheng believes that Shen Qingshu won’t lie about this kind of thing, so he doesn’t want to break up with him for Meng Zhi, but for love itself.

Also, Han Cheng thought, at his age, being young and good-looking, it is naturally impossible not to have a longing for love.

He himself has no yearning for love, but he can’t ask Shen Qingshu to have no yearning for love like him.

So he met Meng Zhi, a suitable person for him to fall in love with. And he wanted to break the relationship between them and start his own relationship, which is normal.

If Shen Qingshu was a little selfish, or he is not so moral, he can naturally continue to enjoy his care on one hand and fall in love with Meng Zhi behind his back – after all, Han Cheng is not always on the crew.

But because he is not that kind of person, he wants his love to be above board and flawless, so he will say those words to himself.

At this moment, Han Cheng finally calmed down. He can seriously recall the whole situation and think about his actions these days.

In fact, what he implied was already obvious. He asked him, isn’t it good to fall in love?

He said you and him are destined.

He said I saw that your red Luan star has had movement recently.

He asked him, do you remember your car friends?

Also, the poem he recited:

I am a cloud in the sky,

By chance casting a shadow on the ripples of your heart!

Don’t be surprised,

Nor should you be overjoyed.

I will soon vanish without a trace.

You and I met in the dark sea;

You have your direction and I have mine.

Remember if you will,

Better yet if you forget.

The spark we exchanged in our encounter.

At that moment, Han Cheng finally understood why he suddenly recited this poem, because he said that he had forgotten all his former car friends.

So Shen Qingshu knew that sooner or later they would separate and he would forget him sooner or later.

That’s why he said – Remember if you will, better yet if you forget

Shen Qingshu made sure he didn’t want to fall in love, he didn’t want to fall in love with him, and he also made sure he would forget him. So he said let’s end it, so he said he wanted to have a try with Meng Zhi.

They had stayed together for too long and Shen Qingshu couldn’t wait for the love he wanted, so he gave up. He wanted to look elsewhere.

Han Cheng sighed.

That quiet resignation is so distressing.

Until the end, Shen Qingshu didn’t say a word more and didn’t defend himself.

He tried very hard to end their relationship decently and didn’t want to entangle or create bad memories.

So he didn’t say anything, just asked him, when can it end?

Han Cheng turned around and drove back.

In fact, it’s not that he can’t fall in love with Shen Qingshu. He just hasn’t been very active in love all this time and the days with Shen Qingshu are too comfortable, so he never thought about love at all.

He and Shen Qingshu did not have a pure beginning. Their beginning started with physical intimacy, so that in the later stage of development, he couldn’t tell what the relationship between him and Shen Qingshu was.

But Shen Qingshu just wants to fall in love now, doesn’t he?

He doesn’t like Meng Zhi either. He just wants to try it with him. Since Shen Qingshu can try with Meng Zhi, then naturally he can try with himself.

Maybe they are really suitable for dating?

He was still reluctant to give up Shen Qingshu. When arguing with him, he was reluctant. When he left, he was still reluctant. Now that he knew that he might want to fall in love with him, he was even more reluctant.

Han Cheng thought that he might want to stay with Shen Qingshu all his life. The more he didn’t make noise, trouble and didn’t care about himself, the more he could not bear parting with him.

If he takes a step back, even if he takes a hundred steps back, Han Cheng will create ninety nine steps with things he likes and give everything for him to pick from.

He sighed and thought that this was probably the so-called “everything has a weakness”. Shen Qingshu was born to be his weakness.

TN: Best wingman Bai Xuege, also why is everything about these two so painfully sweet (⌯˃̶᷄ ﹏ ˂̶᷄⌯)

Also, doesn’t this resemble a scums revenge arc in a QT novel?

1 A common type of grass, might also be a euphemistic way of saying piece of sh/t

2 A warm story.

In 1991, the contractor Lin Shengxiong, after a year of hard work, was ready to go home for the New Year with 1,800 yuan in his pockets. He walked past a sign about a new project and when taking a deeper look he found the ‘Hope Project’ turned out to be a special project to help Chinese children who dropped out of school return to the classroom!

He touched the front of his clothes, quickly took out the “huge amount of money” that was well hidden and began to count one by one. After counting for a while, it was more than 1,000 yuan. As soon as he lifted his hand, he threw it into the donation box. While thinking about it, the remaining money is enough for the family to spend a year, right? He turned to leave.

Suddenly, his cuff was pulled. He looked down and it was a grateful student, “Uncle, please leave a name! What kind of work do you do?”.

“It’s only 1,000 yuan, it’s not a big deal…” He muttered, and wrote down the words “loving people” and quickly slipped away.

1000 yuan is not a big deal? But that was 1991 and he only had 1,800 yuan! The surprised teachers and students were speechless,  and let go of this extraordinary “loving person”.

More than ten years have passed, and Lin Shengxiong has grown from a small contractor to the chairman of a company with more than 2,000 employees.

Within a few minutes, he learned of a project in China called “Hope”, and he supported the Hope Project for the first time with practical actions.

Unexpectedly, the happiness after that donation inspired him to continue to do good. Later, he forged an indissoluble bond with Project Hope and became a philanthropist.
