Psst! We're moving!
The group chat fell into a dead silence.
Sheng Li was led by Yu Chi to sit down on the sofa. Yu Chi replied to a few messages, but Hu Yiyang still hadn’t responded. Sheng Li muttered, “Did One Fat classmate’s phone fall into the toilet? Or is he depressed?”
Yu Chi thought for a moment and chuckled softly, “Maybe he’s holding back words, preparing to scold me.”
“During the movie promotion roadshow last year, he came to the venue and gave me a gift. I was quite surprised. I didn’t expect him to like me for so long.” Sheng Li had a deep impression of Hu Yiyang. After all, he was Yu Chi’s classmate, and it was obvious that Yu Chi had a good relationship with him. However, she still asked, “Will he tell others?”
“I told you long ago, he’s your hardcore fan.” Yu Chi put down his phone, leaned lazily on the sofa, hooked his arm around her shoulder, pulling her into his embrace, and picked up the script from before. “He won’t tell anyone, but not for my sake, but for yours. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have created a separate group chat.”
Sheng Li couldn’t help but laugh. Just then, Yu Chi’s phone vibrated. He picked it up again and opened WeChat.
Hu Yiyang had sent two voice messages in the group.
Each one was precisely 55 seconds long.
Yu Chi wasn’t keen on opening these voice messages, instinctively feeling they wouldn’t contain anything pleasant. Sheng Li, nestled in his arms, poked the screen with her index finger, opening the first one. Hu Yiyang’s voice boomed with energy as he spent nearly a minute scolding Yu Chi for being a repressed and unfaithful friend who didn’t treat him like a true brother, causing him to blindly guess for months about who his first love was, even listing a whole string of names, none of which were correct...
The second voice message automatically played, Hu Yiyang’s tone even more agitated: 【I was starting to suspect you were having an affair with Xu Yang! Otherwise, how could it be impossible to dig anything up? You two were really close in high school, even played in a band together. I secretly thought you two had actually been together, so you were embarrassed to tell me. But in the end, it was my goddess! What the hell did you rely on to win over my goddess? I’m not saying you’re not worthy, I know Bro Chi you’re handsome, but you were only 18 back then! Compared to my goddess, it’s not like heaven and earth, but there was still a big difference! She was already so famous back then! I’m really curious how you managed to win her over. I feel like I’ve just lost my love, and my ‘wife’ was stolen by my own brother...】
Sheng Li: “...”
She suppressed a laugh and looked at Yu Chi. Sure enough, this younger man was typing with a dark expression: 【Who is your wife?】
It was one thing for online male fans to call her that, but Hu Yiyang was an acquaintance, and it sounded quite unpleasant.
Hu Yiyang: 【Metaphor! Metaphor, you understand? That kind of heart-wrenching pain!】
Yu Chi coldly pressed the voice message button: 【I don’t understand.】
Xu Yang: 【One Fat, I advise you not to talk nonsense. Can you just call someone ‘wife’? I got warned just for calling her ‘sister’, be careful you don’t get silenced. Our Bro Chi’s jealousy is deeply hidden, the best in Asia.】
Sheng Li couldn’t help but burst into laughter. Yu Chi expressionlessly locked his phone screen and stood up to leave.
“Don’t leave.” How could Sheng Li let him go? She quickly pushed him back down, straddled his lap, cupped his face, and asked with a smile, “How did he warn you? Tell your sister about it.”
Yu Chi was pushed back, but he wasn’t in a hurry anymore. He leaned lazily against the sofa and said self-deprecatingly, “Yes, I don’t like other younger men calling you ‘sister’. I also feel uncomfortable when you call other people ‘brother’.”
Sheng Li was taken aback, raising an eyebrow, and asked, “Anything else?”
Yu Chi glanced at her coldly and didn’t answer.
“I know, it’s about the kissing scenes and bed scenes, but we’re both actors, and I believe you can understand that.” Sheng Li lowered her head and kissed him hard on the lips. “What kind of ultimate vinegar king have I provoked?”
Yu Chi pursed his lips and glared at her irritably, “Yeah, I’m not as broad-minded as you.”
Sheng Li stared at him with a smile for a while. It was strange, they had slept together quite a few times, and last night when they did it, Yu Chi wasn’t shy, and he was less impatient than before. Moreover, his technique had improved a lot. Of course, it couldn’t be ruled out that Sheng Li hadn’t done it for too long, and her body was too eager for him, making her more sensitive. In short, Sheng Li felt fantastic last night. If he could be a little gentler as required by the script and do it two fewer times, it would have been perfect.
Yu Chi’s heart was pounding as she stared at him like this. His blood rushed upwards, and his ears even felt a little hot. His eyes were fixed on her, not blinking for a moment, as if expecting her to say something.
Sheng Li rested her head on his shoulder and whispered in his ear, “Sister really likes you. Even if you’re a vinegar king, you’re mine alone.”
As soon as she finished speaking, her lips were bitten hard. Yu Chi flipped over, pinning her to the sofa, caressing her delicate and smooth waist, looking down at her, and asked in a low voice, “Sister, shall we do it again?”
Sheng Li: “...”
She really didn’t have such good physical stamina to endure another round with this energetic little wolfdog.
Yu Chi’s phone was pressed under her waist, constantly buzzing with messages, making her waist numb. She gritted her teeth, pulled out the phone from under her waist, handed it to him, and suggested, “Why don’t you chat with One Fat classmate and Xu Yang again? Otherwise...” She reached out and grabbed the script he had just placed in the corner of the sofa, “Shall I keep you company while you look at the script? Is this a new drama?”
“Not sure if I’ll take it, just taking a look.”
Yu Chi chuckled, took the phone, and sat back lazily.
Opening WeChat, Hu Yiyang and Xu Yang were still chatting.
Yu Chi casually tapped on a voice message. Hu Yiyang was still stubbornly pressing Yu Chi about how he had managed to win over Sheng Li.
Yu Chi replied casually: 【By my looks.】
Sheng Li sat cross-legged beside him, enjoying the drama, and pressed the voice message button, saying: 【Actually, I was the one who pursued him.】
It was said that Hu Yiyang almost cried at that moment.
________________________________________
After a while of commotion, Yu Chi received a call from Xiao Chen, asking him when he would go to the old apartment to move the remaining items. Yu Chi hadn’t let anyone else pack the things in the bedroom. He told Xiao Chen, “I’ll head over in a bit.”
He hung up the phone, and Sheng Li asked, “Are you going out?”
Yu Chi looked at Sheng Li and smiled, “There’s something I haven’t told you yet. I’ve moved. The building next to yours. Some things are still in the old apartment. I’m going out now to bring them over.”
“Ah?” Sheng Li was quite surprised.
“I’m leaving, I’ll be back later.” Yu Chi ruffled her hair, picked up his phone and coat, and walked towards the door.
Sheng Li followed him, frowning, and said, “Why didn’t you tell me before? When did you move?”
Yu Chi put on his shoes in the hallway, put on his hat, and looked down at her, “Found the place before joining the crew. I was too busy to move earlier.”
“To pursue your sister, you really put in a lot of effort.” The corners of Sheng Li’s lips couldn’t help but curl up. She had to admit that Yu Chi’s painstaking pursuit made her feel surprised and sweet, and at the same time, her vanity was greatly satisfied. Which woman wouldn’t want to be put first by the person she liked?
Yu Chi expressionlessly put on his hat and mask, ready to go out.
“How long is your lease?” she grabbed his arm.
This residential area belonged to high-end apartments, with excellent location and unit layouts. The residents were mostly wealthy people or celebrities. The rent was imaginable. Although neither of them lacked money, especially Yu Chi whose value was now soaring, it was still a considerable expense.
“One year.”
Sheng Li said, “Why don’t I go with you?”
“There will probably be paparazzi waiting for me over there. Do you really want to come with me?” Yu Chi lowered his eyes to look at her. He had driven his new car last night, which the paparazzi wouldn’t recognize, and paparazzi generally couldn’t get into this residential area, unlike the previous apartment which had no restrictions.
Sheng Li thought for a moment and decided against it. She tiptoed and kissed him on the Adam’s apple, “I’ll wait for you at home. Yuan Yuan will probably arrive around five.”
At five in the afternoon, Yuan Yuan, who had gone back to her hometown, opened the door and came in.
She entered like a thief, cautiously peeking around.
Sheng Li came out of the kitchen holding a glass of water, saw her strange behavior, and chuckled, “Your brother-in-law isn’t here, he went to move.”
As she spoke, her phone vibrated.
Yu Xiaochi: 【I’ve arrived. The place is a bit messy. I’ll come over after I tidy up.】
Yuan Yuan was first stunned, then pushed her suitcase in, her face full of smiles, “Is brother-in-law moving in with you?”
Oh my, the speed of her CP was simply like riding a rocket.
They had just gotten back together not long ago, and they were already living together.
But cohabitation was risky and probably couldn’t be kept secret for long...
Sheng Li was equally stunned by Yuan Yuan’s words.
She had entered this industry at the age of 14, and sometimes she didn’t even have a few days of rest in a year. But when she did have a break, she quite enjoyed being alone at home. Cohabitation? She hadn’t thought about this issue before. After all, the two of them had just reconciled, and she hadn’t immediately thought in that direction.
Sheng Li raised an eyebrow, “It’s not cohabitation. He moved to this residential area, to the building next door.”
The building she lived in didn’t have any rental units.
Yuan Yuan was a little disappointed, “Okay.”
“Yuan Yuan, once your brother-in-law finishes filming this drama, you can train the new assistant. In the future, let the new assistant follow me, and you go to the company.” Sheng Li glanced at her, “No excuses.”
Yuan Yuan looked aggrieved, “Okay.”
In the evening, a few people had a housewarming gathering at Yu Chi’s place. Huang Boyan also came and prepared a steaming hot pot with two compartments. Huang Boyan asked Xiao Chen to take a few photos. Xiao Chen thoughtfully took a picture of the lively table setting with abundant dishes and several sets of bowls and chopsticks.
Huang Boyan asked Xiao Chen to pick a few photos to send to Yu Chi and then looked at Yu Chi, “You moved to a new place, post something on Weibo.” Huang Boyan was worried that paparazzi would take photos of him entering and leaving this residential area and write nonsense. But if he lived here, it would be very understandable, after all, many celebrities lived in this area. With Yu Chi’s current worth, let alone moving into this area, buying a place directly would be no problem at all.
Yu Chi placed the dipping sauce dish in front of Sheng Li, glanced at Huang Boyan, and scoffed, “How long can we hide this?”
“We’re not saying we have to deliberately hide it. Just treat it as you moving to a new place, it’s almost the New Year, say hello to your fans.” Huang Boyan pulled out a chair and sat down, sighing, “Ah, my life is so hard. I finally managed to bring out a top-tier actor with both talent and popularity, and you just reveal your relationship.”
Sheng Li glanced at Yu Chi casually and said with a smile, “Director Huang, I was the one who introduced him to you. Now I’m taking him back, isn’t that normal? You haven’t suffered much loss, have you? Yu Chi is an actor, even if he gets photographed, it’s fine.”
Yu Chi sat down beside her, turned his head to look at him, and suddenly asked, “So, Sister doesn’t object to going public?”
Sheng Li: “...”
She had just subconsciously tried to defend Yu Chi, that’s why she said that to Huang Boyan. She said with a smile, “Of course I don’t object, that day will come eventually, right?”
Huang Boyan smiled, “I know, just expressing my feelings. Come on, let’s eat.”
Yu Chi picked two photos from those Xiao Chen sent, one of him organizing his luggage, and one of the hot pot, and posted them on Weibo with only seven words: Happy New Year, moved today.
Huang Boyan was indeed prescient, because Yu Chi was indeed photographed when he returned to the old apartment to move his luggage. But because Yu Chi had posted on Weibo first, the entertainment news reporting on Yu Chi’s move didn’t cause much of a stir.
________________________________________
The holiday ended, and the crew re-entered a tense filming period.
A few days later, one afternoon, the set was cleared for the filming of a crucial scene between Sheng Li and Jing Yiming.
Outside the set, Yu Chi was wearing a police uniform, in the guise of Cheng Nan. His face was cold as he leaned against the wall outside, smoking. Several cigarette butts were already piled up on the ground. He bit the filter, his jaw clenched tightly.
Xiao Chen looked at his expression with trepidation, feeling that if that scene wasn’t finished soon, his brother was going to go in with a knife.
Inside the set, the filming of this scene was nearing its end—
Xu Yuan’s fragrant shoulders were half-exposed, her fair and slender arms held a quilt to cover her body. She leaned lazily against the headboard, lit a cigarette, and said faintly, “Don’t forget to pay.”
Zhou Luo, who was standing by the bed pulling on his pants, his zipper not yet fastened, suddenly turned his head to look at her, gritting his teeth, “What did you say?”
Xu Yuan’s slender white arm dropped down, the cigarette butt lightly burned his jeans, and she laughed, “Zhou Luo, don’t forget who you sold me to twelve years ago. Don’t you know what I’ve been doing all these years?” She looked up at him, her smile cruel, “I’m a prostitute. Sleeping with me requires payment.”
That cigarette butt felt like it had burned Zhou Luo’s heart.
His eyes were bloodshot, feeling more painful than death.
...
Chen Yuan called out, “Cut!”
This scene was finally over. Sheng Li was a little afraid to face Yu Chi outside. She changed her clothes and looked at Yuan Yuan, “Where’s Officer Cheng?”
Yuan Yuan whispered, “Smoking outside.”
Taking advantage of no one paying attention, she added in a low voice, “Smoked a lot.”
Sheng Li: “...”
She scratched her head, wondering how to coax him tonight.
Just then, Yuan Yuan’s phone vibrated. She took it out and looked. Unexpectedly, it was a message from Yu Chi.
Brother-in-law: 【Li Yuanyuan, send me the videos and photos you took at the cemetery before.】
Yuan Yuan was stunned and handed the phone to Sheng Li, not understanding why Yu Chi suddenly wanted to see this. Yuan Yuan didn’t understand, but Sheng Li could vaguely guess why. She felt helpless and sympathetic, and said to Yuan Yuan, “Send them to him.”
