He Yang leaned on the back of the chair and looked at the two people by the lake.
The two leading actors were getting closer and closer, almost hugging each other.
He Yang frowned slightly, put his fingertips on the armrest, and tapped casually.
The director on the side was still explaining enthusiastically: âToday is their first kiss scene!â
After Yuan Lie heard this, he looked at the man beside him and said with a smile, âItâs normal for actors to shoot kiss scenes.â
The man didnât respond. He just continued to stare at the two people.
Yuan Lie also retracted his gaze, and when he looked towards the lake, he saw that the actor had already embraced the actress in his arms.
The two pressed their foreheads together, like the intimacy between lovers.
Just when the two leading actors were about to kiss, Yuan Lie suddenly heard the sound of the table being overturned next to him.
The small table was heavily overturned on the ground, and all sorts of things on it fell to the ground. Yuan Lie looked up and saw the man with a gloomy face.
He Yangâs movement was really big. Even the side of the lake was also affected, and the filming had to be interrupted.
When the director saw He Yangâs face, he suddenly said cautiously, âPresident He, whatâs the matter?â
He Yang didnât speak. He just got up and prepared to walk towards the lake.
Yuan Lie stretched out his hand to stop He Yang and said to the director, âItâs okay. Heâs feeling unwell.â
He Yang stared at that figure by the lake, and then glanced at the director again, with a cold tone: âThey play a couple?â
The director was taken aback for a moment, but he still nodded, âYeah, after all, itâs a romance drama. Itâs all about falling in love and so onâŠâŠ.â
He Yang: âChange it.â
The director was stunned, and then he heard the manâs voice: âI can invest and give as much as you want, but the kiss scene must be deleted.â
âYes, yes, yes! âThe director was instantly surprised and said quickly: âIâll give you the script. President He, you can change it however you want!â
The director was very happy, and hurriedly brought the script to He Yang.
As a result, He Yang flipped through the script at will, and he turned to the confession scene.
He Yang frowned and turned a few pages back, frowning more and more tightly.
After a long time, He Yang said: âThe love scenes will be deleted.â
The director was really stunned, and said euphemistically: âPresident He, we are filming a romantic drama. If the love scene is deleted, there will be no plotâŠâŠ.â
Itâs okay to delete only the kiss scenes. There were originally only a few kiss scenes to be filmed, but there was no way to delete the love scenes.
He Yang looked at the script and said coldly, âThen rewrite the script.â
***
In the lounge, Qin Zhou and Su Tang were still waiting for the filming notice.
Not long after, the assistant director hurried over and said, âWe wonât be filming today, so you can go back.â
Weâre sorry for MTLers or people who like using reading mode, but our translations keep getting stolen by aggregators so weâre going to bring back the copy protection. If you need to MTL please retype the gibberish parts.
Su Tang asked, âWhatâs wrong?â

Ve Kjcu kjr raeccfv, âDea kfânf jigfjvs vbcf rb wemt oliwlcu. Tfa, kf revvfcis tjnf ab mtjcuf la cbk?â
âWell, we canât do anything about it. After all, heâs the big boss.â The assistant director scratched his hair, âAnyway, thereâs nothing good about our broken crew, and itâs fine if we get the investment.â
The assistant director added: âAnyway, the filming wonât be done today. You guys go back to rest. When the time comes, wait for the notice to see which one will be filmed tomorrow.â
After the assistant director finished speaking, he left.
Su Tang was still digesting the news, and sighed: âWe have to change the script again. How come I always run into the ones that changed the script every timeâŠâŠ.?â
âYouâll get used to it.â Qin Zhou didnât care about it.
Su Tang got up and said, âIâm going to change my clothes.â
Su Tang went to the dressing room next door to change, and Qin Zhou was the only one left in the lounge.
Qin Zhou removed his makeup in front of the mirror and got up to change his clothes.
But when Qin Zhou was about to take off his clothes, he suddenly found that the pins on the Chinese tunic suit couldnât come off.
The Chinese tunic suit bought by the crew was a little big. Sometimes when the wind blows, the back would be blown up. Every time before filming, he would use double-sided tape to stick the coat and sweater together, and then fix it with pins.
Itâs just that this time there was a pin on the back that seemed to be stuck and couldnât be taken off.
Qin Zhou lowered his head, stretched his hands behind his clothes, and unbuttoned them with some effort.
Suddenly, Qin Zhou heard the door of the lounge open, and footsteps came in.
Qin Zhou thought it was Su Tang. So, he said, âSister Su Su, the pin on the back of my clothes is stuck. Can you help me take it off?â
After speaking, Qin Zhou withdrew his hand and prepared to wait for Su Tang to help him unpin.
And that person behind him also approached step by step and came behind him.
But when that person reached out, Qin Zhou noticed something was wrong.
Su Tang was shorter than him, but now the person behind him was taller than him. And, Qin Zhou could still feel the breath faintly falling on the back of his neck.
Qin Zhou frowned slightly. He looked up at the makeup mirror in front of him, and through the mirror, he saw the person wearing a black suit behind him.
And because of the mirrorâs perspective, Qin Zhou couldnât see the manâs face, but he could still recognize who the man behind him was.
Just as the pin had been untied, Qin Zhou turned his head and said respectfully, âThank you, President He.â
He Yang lowered his head, looked at the estranged young man in front of him, and suddenly said, âYou accepted the kiss scene.â
Qin Zhou responded with a smile: âYes.â
He Yang lowered his eyes and said lightly, âI asked them to delete the kiss scenes, and the script will be rewritten.â
Qin Zhou was slightly puzzled. âPresident He, I couldnât understand what you meanâŠâŠâŠâ
âYanyan, pretending to have amnesia, once is enough.â He Yang leaned over slightly and put his hands on the young manâs side, almost trapping the young man in his arms, âIf you want to film, it doesnât matter.â
âBut you canât shoot kiss scenes. And, you also canât play a couple with others.â He Yangâs voice sounded a little hoarse.
Qin Zhou euphemistically said: âPresident He, it is my freedom to shoot kiss scenes, and we have only met three times so far. We are not very familiar with each other.â
Qin Zhouâs attitude was very polite. It was really polite that it seemed he was talking with a stranger.
âYanyan, donât make trouble.â He Yangâs eyes turned red. He was almost begging: âGo back with me.â
He Yang raised his hand, wanting to hold the young man in his arms.
But Qin Zhou took a step back to avoid touching. He looked at the ring on the manâs left hand, and said slowly: âPresident He, you are already engaged.â
âItâs better to keep a distance. I donât want to be scolded as the third party.â Qin Zhouâs tone was calm.
He Yang lowered his head, looked at the ring on his left hand, and suddenly took a step back.
Qin Zhou also took advantage of this gap to walk over to the side and keep a distance from the man.
Qin Zhou took the coat from the sofa and put it on, ready to leave.
At this moment, He Yang suddenly said, âThis ring has your name.â
He Yang reached into his pocket and took out a ring box.
This ring box had been locked in the drawer for a year, until now. It had finally been taken out by the owner again.
âThe rings are a pair.â He Yang opened the ring box, revealing the engagement ring inside, âI should have given you the ring earlier.â
Qin Zhou turned his head and saw the diamond ring box in the manâs hand.
He Yang raised his head and looked at the young man in front of him, as if he had a lot to say.
He wanted to say that the potted plants on the balcony had bloomed, and he finally learned how to grow flowers.
He also wanted to say that the fridge was already full of wontons and that heâve also learned how to make wontons.
In three years, many things could change.
He had learned many, many things, and he was already used to his lonely life.
He was used to being alone, and he was used to missing someone.
Every minute, every second, he always missed someone.
But in the end, He Yang didnât say a word. He just handed the ring box to the young man.
This three-year-overdue engagement ring was finally sent to another owner, waiting for the other partyâs acceptance.
âYanyan.â He Yang stared at the young man in front of him and said softly, âQiQi has been waiting for you.â
âEvery time I go back, he will wait for you by the car.â
No matter how many times others explained to QiQi, QiQi couldnât understand, and insisted on running to the car and waiting for someone.
âHe misses you so much.â He Yang paused, and after a while, said in a low voice, âI also miss you.â
He also missed him very much.
âCome back with me, okay?â
He Yang calmed down and waited for the young manâs response.
Qin Zhou looked at the man in front of him. There were no emotions on his face. He just glanced at the ring box.
The ring in the box was indeed a pair with the ring He Yang was wearing on his left hand.
And this ring was something he once dreamed of.
Now, itâs close at hand and within his reach.
As long as he took over this ring, his five years of love, and the pain and the passion he had paid for before, would be able to make for a satisfactory result.
Qin Zhou raised his head slightly. He met the manâs gaze, and saw that he was the only one in the manâs cold eyes.
The man in front of him was looking at him affectionately, and this scene was just like what he had once imagined before.
He had imagined the day when the man would propose to him countless times. Even if he knew it was an extravagant hope, he would always imagine it over and over again.
And now, there was this scene he was waiting for.
The high and aloof man finally softened his posture, and the iceberg melted ââ
But it was too late.
It was delayed for three years. He no longer wants it.
âSorry, President He.â Qin Zhou took a step back, âI donât know why you always think of me as someone else. Is it because I look like him?â
âBut your behavior has caused me a lot of trouble.â Qin Zhouâs tone was polite yet distant.
âYanyan.â The man grabbed the young manâs wrist, as if trying to explain something.
But Qin Zhou just removed the hand on his wrist and said patiently, âPresident He, Iâve said that I am Qin Zhou, and youâve mistaken the wrong person.â
He Yang looked at the pair of peach blossom eyes. His hands exerted a little force unknowingly, and gripped the ring box tightly.
The edge of the ring box sank deep into his palm, but He Yang seemed to feel no pain.
The young manâs face was still gentle, but there was no emotion in those gentle peach blossom eyes.
There was no love. Not even hatred.
Merely being polite and respectful to a stranger.
Seemingly gentle and polite, but he was so cold.
âMr. He, Iâm not that person you know, and I hope you donât pester me in the future.â
Qin Zhou turned around and left the lounge.
He didnât need the love that was three years late.
