\nThe atmosphere was a bit solemn in the car at this time.
"So Mi He Qiu also knows?" Sheng Xing Ze's voice was mixed with unpleasant taste.
Sheng Xing Ze just learned from Tao Yi Ning that she also knew that Yu Bai likes him, but seeing that Yu bai did not mean to confess, so she did not tell Sheng Xing Ze.
What made Sheng Xing Ze feel more annoyed was that the assistant Mi He Qiu who has always been with him turned out to be an insider, and kept hiding thing from him.
"Probably everyone knows except you," Tao Yi Ning laughed at him unceremoniously, "The person on the spot is baffled, the onlooker sees clear. Even the little fool like Mi He Qiu notices it, but only you can actually drag it on for so long."
Sheng Xing Ze turned his face to look out of the window, as if he did not want to continue on this matter, he secretly put a mark under Tao Yi Ning and Mi He Qiu's name in his black list.
"I thought it was Yu Bai that awkward monster could not help but confess first, but I did not expect you to be the first to confess. I really can't understand if he doesn't say it, who would have known..."
Tao Yi Ning's mockery continued, but Sheng Xing Ze did not care much about what she said now.
He looked at the traffic outside the window and did not say anything. Others did not know why Yu Bai did not confess, but how he did not know!
Because the man really cherishes this love, he is afraid of losing it.
Just like himself, so he had always been afraid of confession. If you take one more step out of this safe zone, will you be able to still be friends in the future?
His answer was a no; fortunately, he was able to be from a friend to a boyfriend.
Thinking of this, Sheng Xing Ze curved up the corners of his mouth, and his eyes were full of smiles.
Tao Yi Ning saw the happy smile on Sheng Xing Ze's face through the rearview mirror, and could not help but curve up her lips.
She was the one walking on this path of fame with Yu Bai since his debut. He is like her own child. Although she often acts like she dislikes him, seeing Yu Bai can be together with the person he likes, she is very happy for him.
Tao Yi Ning parked the car in the company's parking lot and took Sheng Xing Ze directly to the top floor. "You haven't been to the company yet. I will show you around some other day. Today I will take you to Yu Bai's office. There is a surprise for you."
She took Sheng Xing Ze a few turns and went straight into the president's office.
Even though Yu Bai does not care much about the company's affairs, he is still named as the president of the company.
As soon as he entered the door, Sheng Xing Ze was attracted by a huge snack bar on the side, which contained all his favorite snacks.
Yu Bai, who doesn't eat snacks, piled up all kinds of junk food at the snack bar. Although it was incompatible with the overall style of the room, Sheng Xing Ze felt touched.
"Every month, Yu Bai always makes a large snack purchase. He would distribute the snacks here to the employees, then he would fill this bar up with a new batch of snacks." Tao Yi Ning followed Sheng Xing Ze's gaze to the snack bar and explained to him.
Next to Yu Bai's desktop, Sheng Xing Ze saw a single photo of Su Jin Mu during the filming of "Xing Lan". In the photo, he smiled very happily with his teeth showing.
Sitting on Yu Bai's chair, Sheng Xing Ze could even imagine the scene where Yu Bai glanced at the photo from time to time while sitting here in the office, and curved up his lips into a smile while working.
"Although Yu Bai doesn't come here often, he has everything prepared for you." Tao Yi Ning stood in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window and waved to Sheng Xing Ze, "Xing Ze, come here, there are more."
Sheng Xing Ze walked to her side in response.
"Do you see that cake shop?" She pointed to a cake shop not far from the building.
Sheng Xing Ze saw a familiar sign, and he recalled: "It is the shop where Film Emperor Yu ordered me a birthday cake. I remember it was on another street."
"You told him that the cakes are delicious. The cake shop didn't want to open a branch, so he bought a storefront next to the company and moved the cake shop here." Tao Yi Ning said with a look of resentment, "It was a very evil move of a rich man."
When Sheng Xing Ze looked at the cake shop, his heart felt as sweet as a piece of butter cake, and his hand on his side wanted to touch the phone in his pocket.
Although he had been separated from Yu Bai for less than an hour, he really wanted to call Yu Bai.
"There is also a dessert shop at the corner over there. You can check it out when you have time. It's delicious. There should be another Li Zi hot pot restaurant across the road. The shop has already been bought and is still under construction."
After Tao Yi Ning introduced the surrounding shops to Sheng Xing Ze, she took out a thin script from a cabinet.
"Back to the main topic, this is a part of the script that Director Ye will direct. You can take a look first to have a better understanding of the character. They will choose a small skit from it for the audition three days later."
Sheng Xing Ze took the script but did not rush to open it. He placed the two stuffed animals he caught in the amusement park on the president chair, adding some youthfulness to this cold office.
Tao Yi Ning couldn't help looking at his movements, "If Yu Bai knows that you're messing around his office so much, I wonder what face he would make."
"Of course he would like it." Sheng Xing Ze placed the two stuffed animals tightly together.
Usually, if someone were to stay in Yu Bai's office for a little too long, he would have felt that his privacy was being invaded. But if it was Sheng Xing Ze, even when he put two stuffed toys that were extremely inconsistent with Yu Bai's temperament in the office, Yu Bai would not really do anything to his kind boyfriend.
"Yeah, as long as you like it, how can Yu Bai refuse it." Tao Yi Ning was a bit salty, now that her nurtured artist has found his other half, even a genius would turn ordinary for the love of his life. \n\nSheng Xing Ze stopped talking, this is not what I like, it is a little hobby that someone doesn't want others to know.
He waved the script at Tao Yi Ning, "Sister Tao, then I will go home and read the script first."
Tao Yi Ning followed him downstairs, "I'll drive you home." Thinking of Sheng Xing Ze still living with his parents, she couldn't help but to voice out her opinion.
"You should also consider moving out in the future. The pay for "Xing Lan" will soon be issued. It is quite inconvenient for your parents if you stay with them. Just use the pay to find a gated community with good security."
Sheng Xing Ze nodded. He looked innocently at Tao Yi Ning with his big round eyes, but what he said next was not very friendly: "Yu Bai did discuss this topic with me."
Tao Yi Ning regretted why she even bothered to say something to Sheng Xing Ze. She gave Sheng Xing Ze a shallow smile, rolled her eyes and left.
On that day, Sheng Xing Ze was waiting for his driver to pick him up.
When he complained to Yu Bai about the incident during their phone call at night, his face was full of grievance.
"Sister Tao left me at the parking lot to go home by herself!"
Yu Bai had heard about the move out discussion from Tao Yi Ning. Now when he heard Sheng Xing Ze's complaints, he only smiled. After seeing Sheng Xing Ze's face, the exhaustion of the day was greatly relieved: "I will deduct her wage."
Sheng Xing Ze groaned, "Forget it, it makes me feel like I was an evil concubine trying to talk the king into getting rid of the loyal minister."
Yu Bai was amused by his metaphor: "Do you have a driver's license?"
"I do."
"Next time bring it with you, there are cars in the parking lot that are idle. The keys are in the drawer in my office. If you want to use them, you can drive them." Yu Bai said very richly.
Sheng Xing Ze raised his eyebrows, and the expression on his face instantly became psychedelic: "Film Emperor Yu, are you taking me in as your little lover?"
Yu Bai smiled at the video call, "I want to take care of you."
Sheng Xing Ze was laughing and rolling on the bed holding the phone, and Yu Bai watched him quietly without speaking.
When Sheng Xing Ze wiped his tears, he finally smiled. Yu Bai thought about it and told Sheng Xing Ze of his future plan: "Xing Xing, I want to retire after finish filming this movie."
Sheng Xing Ze's laughter stopped abruptly, "Why?"
He put away the messy posture and lay down on the bed honestly, staring at Yu Bai's eyes without blinking.
"You are not 30 yet, why do you want to retire so soon." His tone was incomprehensible.
Yu Bai's voice gently comforted him, "I want to do a good job in the company and be a good supporter for our Xing Xing."
"You don't need to be like this." Sheng Xing Ze did not like this idea, "I can manage well by myself."
Seeing that Sheng Xing Ze was unhappy, Yu Bai quickly explained: "Xing Xing, listen to me. For me, acting is a hobby. I have won all the awards I can win. I have wanted to change it up over the years. Now I have my significant other, you act in movies you like and I invest in those movies, so that we can have more time together, sound good?"
Sheng Xing Ze did not speak, or even looked at the video call screen.
"Xing Xing." Yu Bai called out worriedly to the other on the phone. He told Sheng Xing Ze this because he didn't want him to feel guilty.
"I know you don't want to be separated from me, neither do I." Sheng Xing Ze raised his head and exhaled heavily.
"I told you that I have won enough awards in my previous life and also have acted in several roles, Yu Bai, I can also accompany you."
He had seen many couples in this circle have parted ways in the end, because of the filming schedule conflicts. Naturally, he did not want to end up like them, but he did not want Yu Bai to make such a big sacrifice for them to be together.
Yu Bai smiled, "Xing Xing."
Sheng Xing Ze stared at him with a serious face, as if Yu Bai didn't give him a reasonable explanation now, he would immediately explode in anger.
"Xing Xing, what in the past is all in the past. I hope that when other people talk about Sheng Xing Ze in the future, they will think of what movies he has played and which awards he won rather than being remembered as a film emperor's lover, do you understand?"
Sheng Xing Ze shook his head, "I don't care."
Yu Bai looked into Sheng Xing Ze's eyes and smiled.
Although the two were far apart, Sheng Xing Ze felt like the man was really right next to him. He heard Yu Bai say in his ear:
