\nDifferent from Tao Yi Ning's excitement, Sheng Xing Ze did not seem to be surprised after hearing the news. He listened to Tao Yi Ning expressing her excitement.
"The award will be formally presented in two months, and Director Ye will definitely let you off that day."
After saying a few things to Tao Yi Ning, Sheng Xing Ze hung up the phone.
"Aren't you happy?" Yu Bai stood beside him, and after hearing every word Tao Yi Ning said clearly, he put his arms around Sheng Xing Ze's waist and put his chin on the younger man's shoulder.
"Fortunately, it was as expected," Sheng Xing Ze kissed the older man's face, "When I finish winning all the awards, I will retire to be with you every day."
"Want to retire early?"
"I have been acting for decades in both lives, and I want to spend more time on myself." Sheng Xing Ze smiled.
Yu Bai ruffled his hair, "I will take you to see the new house when you are free?"
Sheng Xing Ze blinked at him, "You just bought it?"
"I bought it as soon as I saw it. It hasn't been decorated yet. I want to wait for you to see it."
Sheng Xing Ze gave him a kiss, "I'll be back soon."
After separating from Yu Bai, Sheng Xing Ze immediately contacted Chu Shu Nan.
Sheng Xing Ze: Will you be able to meet?
Chu Shu Nan: When?
Sheng Xing Ze: Now if you can, I'll go to your company.
Chu Shu Nan temporarily revised his afternoon schedule to free up some time for Sheng Xing Ze.
The secretary had been waiting downstairs, and upon seeing Sheng Xing Ze getting out of the car and walking over, she took out a small notebook from her pocket and handed it to Sheng Xing Ze.
"Xing Xing, can you sign it?"
The secretary's eyes were full of longing, Sheng Xing Ze signed his name on the notebook and returned it to her.
"Don't tell President Chu." She quietly told Sheng Xing Ze as they headed to Chu Shu Nan's office.
"If President Chu knows that I admire other idols other than his husband, he will definitely kill me." She made a crossed gesture on her neck, as soon as she saw Chu Shu Nan walking towards them, she straightened her posture. With a decent smile she opened the office door for Sheng Xing Ze.
Sheng Xing Ze sat down on the sofa in the office, and the secretary poured him a cup of tea.
Chu Shu Nan waited until the secretary left and locked the office door.
"Tell me, what's the problem with you two?" Sheng Xing Ze took a sip of his tea to moisturize his dry lips.
Chu Shu Nan looked into Sheng Xing Ze's eyes and was silent for a while, then slowly spoke, "Ning Ning and I have not spoken much for half a year."
Sheng Xing Ze changed his sitting position and listened attentively to Chu Shu Nan's words.
"The relationship between the two of us was not very good from the beginning. He wanted resources to make his debut. My family urged me to get married. The two of us got married for our conveniences. At the beginning we said that we each should have our own lives, and no one should interfere with the other person's private business."
He seemed to be caught in a bad memory, his face was covered with gloom.
"Do you know how we spent our lives in the past ten years? In front of the camera, we are the perfect loving pair of husbands. When we turned around, we got into two different cars and went to different places. Others said that we like to show our affection. However, we never actually get to see each other much."
"I always thought that life would go on like this, because I didn't find the right person, nor did I see he had a close relationship with anyone."
"But half a year ago, when I saw him chatting with a newcomer in a very intimate way, I knew I couldn't stand it. I couldn't watch Qing Ning being with others. Xing Ze, do you understand?"
Sheng Xing Ze nodded at him.
Chu Shu Nan got Sheng Xing Ze's affirmative reply, he held his head and lowered it down, blocking the look of regret in his eyes.
"I was acting on impulse, by beating the young newcomer, and unilaterally quarreled with Qing Ning, but I just could not control my own anger at that time."
"When I lost my temper to Qing Ning, he didn't say anything. He just looked at me indifferently. When I finished talking, he packed up and moved to the filming crew. Their crew is very strict and I can't get in. At the variety show, it was the first time we met after that incident. If I hadn't let the program crew not expose my participation from Qing Ning, I might not be able to see him at all."
Sheng Xing Ze looked at Chu Shu Nan's eyes, he didn't even want to activate his abilities, so he looked at him silently.
In this world, this is the first time he doesn't want to help resolve a conflict.
"Since you said that each of you lives your own life, why do you bother with who Qing Ning interacts with?"
Chu Shu Nan was stunned by Sheng Xing Ze's question, and he couldn't say a word.
"Since you like Qing Ning, have you ever told him?" Sheng Xing Ze leaned against the sofa and watched Chu Shu Nan, who has always stayed on his high horse, was now being pushed lower and lower by every of his questions.
"How could I like him?" Chu Shu Nan said with a trembling voice.
Sheng Xing Ze looked at him blankly, "Look up, look at me."
When Chu Shu Nan looked at him, Sheng Xing Ze activated his ability.
"Chu Shu Nan, look into your heart."
Chu Shu Nan's hand holding the teacup loosened weakly, and the delicate teacup smashed to the ground with a crisp sound.
His whole mind was clamoring the same sentence--go see him, tell him.
The secretary knocked anxiously at the door, "President Chu, are you okay?"
Without a reply from Chu Shu Nan, she had found the key to the office and wanted to open the door directly.
"It's okay," Chu Shu Nan said to the secretary.
"Have you made up your mind?" Sheng Xing Ze could tell from Chu Shu Nan's expression that he already knew the answer in his heart.
"I like Qing Ning," Chu Shu Nan lowered his head and said something he had not wanted to believe in ten years.
"I'm going to join the filming crew in two days. I'm in a movie set with Qing Ning. I will talk to him. But if Qing Ning doesn't feel the same as you at all, I advise you to let it go as soon as possible."
"I..."
"Chu Shu Nan, people's hearts are grown in flesh. Have you ever considered that Qing Ning might have liked you?" Sheng Xing Ze looked at Chu Shu Nan disappointedly.
"Otherwise, why didn't he find someone who loves him in the past ten years, or do you think there are very few people who wooing Qing Ning? Qing Ning's love for you should have been faded out in these ten years."
Chu Shu Nan propped his forehead in annoyance, "Xing Ze, I beg you, please."
**
Sheng Xing Ze did not care about Chu Shu Nan's affairs, he was more concerned about Ye Shuang Yang's movie. As for Chu Shu Nan, let him wrap in his own regret a bit longer.
This is the first time Sheng Xing Ze has gone to other provinces to film, and Father Sheng and Mother Sheng are quite uneasy. They had never let their son stay this far away from home since Sheng Xing Ze was born.
Although Sheng Xing Ze repeatedly promised to take good care of himself, the two elders strongly demanded that Sheng Xing Ze call them every day.
Sheng Xing Ze fully agreed.
This feeling of reporting to the parents every day was quite unfamiliar to him but it was full of warmth, and he felt a sense of joy that he was finally being loved.
Because of the lack of family affection in the past, Sheng Xing Ze now does not feel his current parents' unconditional love as burden at all. With the care and blessings from his parents, he embarked on the road to the Film and Television City in B City.
Two days ago, Sheng Xing Ze's role as the male lead in "Twins" was a silent volcano exploding in the deep ocean on Weibo, there were a lot of news about Sheng Xing Ze and Ye Shuang Yang.
Some people say that Ye Shuang Yang is getting old and his senile must get onto him when he selected the male lead. He actually found a newcomer who has not yet had any work as the male lead.
Even if "Ah Piao and I Have an Agreement" has showed Sheng Xing Ze's family and wealth, some people still say that Sheng Xing Ze's resources are so good that he must have slept with a lot of people for these resources. His family's wealth must be from him prostituting himself out.
There were a lot of talks on the internet for quite some time, and "Twins" became popular even before it was filmed.
Unlike the different opinions on the net, Sheng Xing Ze's fans were estatic at knowing the news, this means their idol has good resources and they are happy about it.
As a result, Sheng Xing Ze met the fans for the first time at the airport this morning. They held up the fans with his name in their hands, neatly lined up and waved towards Sheng Xing Ze.
Although "Xing Lan" has not been officially released yet, a short trailer has already helped him collect countless fans. Originally, Sheng Xing Ze's fans were more of CP fans who were only bound to Yu Bai's fan base.
Sheng Xing Ze smiled and waved to the fans.
"Have you had breakfast?" Sheng Xing Ze could not help but curve his mouth into a smile when looking at the excited little girls in front of him as he asked.
Fans answered noisily, some said yes and some said no. Sheng Xing Ze asked Mi He Qiu to talk with the airport's milk tea shop. Fans will go to them to order. Today, all customers in the milk tea shop are paid by Sheng Xing Ze.
"Thank you, everyone, I invite you to drink milk tea."
Sheng Xing Ze reported the name of the milk tea shop and asked the fans to pick it up by themselves. As for those who are not his fans, they would have a good impression of him for this behavior.
Many of the fans prepared small gifts for Sheng Xing Ze. Sheng Xing Ze personally accepted all the handmade gifts, and several of them were pendants of his own chibi version. He refused all the expensive gifts.
"You are not allowed to buy such expensive gifts in the future. I will accept your thoughts," Sheng Xing Ze shook the gift bag in his hand. Mi He Qiu wanted to help him carry some. Sheng Xing Ze sent him to push the luggage, while he carried every gift all by himself.
Tao Yi Ning reminded him that they are going to be late. Sheng Xing Ze looked down at his phone and waved his hands regretfully to say goodbye to the fans.
"Do your best, Xing Xing," A girl's voice suddenly shouted in the fan group.
Hearing her encouragement, Sheng Xing Ze looked back at the fans. Although he didn't see the girl who did the first shout out, the fans' scream "Do your best, Xing Xing" made him feel warm.
"Goodbye," he turned his head and grinned at them with a big smile.
#Sheng Xing Ze booked out a milk tea shop for fans# hashtag soon became the number one search on the net, and many passersby were attracted by taken-well-care of the fans act. Sheng Xing Ze's Weibo welcomed a big wave of followers for a while.
