TLSOTMTKOGAYWHTDI Chapter 30
by VolareWhile Qi Yanwang was shooting a perfume advertisement in front of the Milan Cathedral, he saw a familiar figure standing among the pigeons in the square through the viewfinder.
“Cut! Teacher Qi, look at the camera!” The director stopped the scene for the 7th time.
“Sorry, let’s take a break!”
Qi Yanwang greeted the staff around him and immediately chased after that figure—
It wasn’t him!
That’s right, the person he probably wants to see least right now is himself. How could he possibly come here, knowing he was filming here?
Qi Yanwang took out his phone again. On the chat interface, the red exclamation mark was still glaring.
He paced back and forth in the hotel, twirling the phone in his hand, thinking about everyone he could contact who knew Zhuo Huaimo.
Finally, he mustered his courage and dialed Yu Fengran’s number.
The call connected. Yu Fengran was a little surprised by Qi Yanwang’s sudden call. After all, usually the executive agent was responsible for contacting him.
He asked in a deep voice, “What’s the matter?”
Qi Yanwang stammered for a long time, but still bit the bullet and asked, “Um… I want to speak to CEO Zhuo!”
Yu Fengran was even more puzzled, “If you want to find Huaimo, just call him directly!”
Qi Yanwang choked. He couldn’t say that he’d been deleted by Zhuo Huaimo. And if he was asked why, how would he explain?
He took a deep breath and said helplessly, “Oh, it’s nothing. I dialed the wrong number!”
“Old Yu, why isn’t the door closed?”
Suddenly, that person’s familiar voice came from the other end of the phone. Qi Yanwang’s heart clenched, and even his breathing became cautious!
“Oh, you came at the right time. Qi Yanwang is looking for you, and the call came to me!”
Without understanding what was going on, Yu Fengran handed the phone in his hand to Zhuo Huaimo, who had just arrived at his house.
Zhuo Huaimo frowned slightly, staring at the phone in his hand.
At this moment, Qi Yanwang on the other end of the phone was like a believer awaiting judgment.
Time seemed especially long at this moment.
Finally, he heard that familiar voice on the phone.
“Hello!”
Zhuo Huaimo took the phone, his voice calm and without any emotion.
Qi Yanwang gripped the phone tightly, instantly feeling weak in the legs. He supported himself on the nearby table, trying to maintain his balance.
“Hello, is there something?” Zhuo Huaimo asked again.
Qi Yanwang didn’t dare to make a sound, afraid that the other party would immediately hang up the phone the moment he heard his voice.
Finally, Zhuo Huaimo said coldly, “If there’s nothing, I’ll hang up!”
“Don’t hang up!”
Qi Yanwang immediately spoke to stop him.
Next was another silence between the two.
Disordered heartbeats, exchanging breaths, just like that day in the car.
Finally, Qi Yanwang asked a very idiotic question,
“Where are you?”
Zhuo Huaimo frowned and said faintly, “At Yu Fengran’s house!”
“I… I can come back the day after tomorrow!” Qi Yanwang said quickly.
Actually, what he wanted to say was that he would be back the day after tomorrow, and he wanted to see him after he came back, but the second half of the sentence was stuck in his throat.
“Okay, follow the company’s arrangements!”
Zhuo Huaimo said softly, “I have something to do, I’ll hang up first!”
“I…”
Before Qi Yanwang could finish speaking, the other side had already hung up, and all that came was a busy tone.
He threw the phone aside, and his whole body collapsed on the bed.
On the other side, Yu Fengran saw that Zhuo Huaimo’s face was not right and leaned over,
“What’s wrong with you?”
“Hmm?”
Zhuo Huaimo raised an eyebrow and looked at him, “What?”
“Your expression is off!”
Yu Fengran probed, “You and Qi Yanwang…”
Zhuo Huaimo threw the phone directly to him, “What are you guessing? Am I just lacking scandals for too long, and you’re idle?”
Yu Fengran spun the phone in his hand and slumped on the sofa,
“Speaking of which, you do seem to have been without scandals for a long time!”
He turned his gaze, narrowed his eyes, and stared at Zhuo Huaimo, adding unhurriedly,
“Since Qi Yanwang joined the company!”
Zhuo Huaimo was a smart person. He naturally understood what Yu Fengran meant, and directly changed the subject,
“Don’t worry, there will be one soon!”
“What do you mean?”
Yu Fengran suddenly jumped up from the sofa, “You’ve only been quiet for a while, what are you going to do again?”
Zhuo Huaimo scratched his brow, “A variety show found me, can you arrange it?”
“Variety show? Aren’t you the most disdainful of participating in this kind of variety show?”
Zhuo Huaimo’s slender fingers tapped the sofa armrest rhythmically,
“It’s from the JinYu platform, Li Yang called me personally!”
Of course, this was just one reason. More importantly, he didn’t want to be in that house, living with Qi Yanwang day and night.
“What kind of show is it? It wouldn’t be a dating show or something, right?”
Yu Fengran joked, “Pretending to be deeply in love on screen, that’s not suitable for you. Your scandal partners could make a whole dating show!”
Zhuo Huaimo raised an eyebrow and smiled, without refuting. Indeed, he himself disdained participating in this kind of “show affection” program. What was there to show?
The key was that he had never really experienced it, so acting it out was too tiring!
“It’s not!”
Zhuo Huaimo lowered his head and took out a cigarette from the cigarette case, biting it diagonally, “It’s an outdoor survival variety show!”
“Outdoor? Cultivating your mind and character?!” Yu Fengran laughed.
Zhuo Huaimo raised an eyebrow, “Abstinence!”
Yu Fengran suddenly thought of something, “By the way, you’re still going to handle that M company contract tomorrow. I can’t leave the company!”
“You’re making me fly again?” Zhuo Huaimo raised an eyebrow.
Yu Fengran lightly kicked him, “Business trip on the company’s dime, what else could you want?”
Zhuo Huaimo sneered, “Thank you!”
Qi Yanwang changed his flight at Milan Airport to the earliest flight back to China.
During the ten-hour flight, he used his assistant’s mobile phone to open Zhuo Huaimo’s Moments—the latest post stopped at a location in Hokkaido, Japan.
As soon as he landed, he immediately bought a flight to Japan, and incidentally took away the assistant’s mobile phone.
“I’ll keep the phone for now. You go back to the company first. I have something to do!”
“Brother Qi, where are you going? Aren’t you going back to the company?”
The assistant really didn’t understand his strange behavior of flying off again as soon as he landed, and his mind was full of thoughts,
“How am I going to explain it to the company when I lose such a big star?”
Qi Yanwang stared at the rolling clouds outside the porthole. At this moment, his brain was like the vast sea of clouds, a blank.
He felt that he must be crazy. He didn’t know why he was doing this. He felt that his behavior was no longer under the control of his brain.
The long journey made him feel particularly tired. He only felt dizzy, his body was feverish, and his limbs were sore.
At this moment, he was huddled in the seat with a high fever of 39 degrees.
As soon as he landed, he rushed to the location of the hotel where Zhuo Huaimo was staying, according to the information in Moments.
What he got was a reply from the hotel front desk,
“Mr. Zhuo left two hours ago, saying that something came up at the company.”
Qi Yanwang blinked his long eyelashes, his eyes dull. The girl was frightened by the bloodshot eyes in his eyes.
“Sir, are you okay? Do you need any help?”
Qi Yanwang supported the front desk table and rested for a while. The next moment, he immediately ran to the airport.
He didn’t think too much, nor did he hesitate. His mind was full of thoughts,
“Wait for me, I must wait for me this time!”
At three o’clock in the morning in Beijing, Qi Yanwang curled up in the heather bushes in front of Zhuo Huaimo’s villa.
He didn’t dare to open the door himself. He was afraid that the password had been changed, and even more afraid that the owner would come back and see that he had entered without permission.
After all, he had done something wrong. Could this home still welcome him as before, and could that person still treat him as before?
Qi Yanwang was like an abandoned large dog, wrapped in a coat, squatting in front of Zhuo Huaimo’s door.
The sound of the black Cullinan crushing fallen leaves startled the night owl.
A pair of handmade leather shoes appeared in his field of vision, slowly moving upwards along the straight suit pants. He finally saw the person he was eager to see, and yet afraid to see.
Qi Yanwang stood up abruptly, looking straight at him, unable to say a word.
“When did you come back?”
Zhuo Huaimo’s tone was indifferent, and he couldn’t hear any emotion.
“Just… just now!”
Qi Yanwang looked at him uneasily, but the red bloodshot eyes had already explained everything.
“Let’s go in first!”
Zhuo Huaimo went around him and pressed the password to open the door.
Qi Yanwang paid special attention. The password hadn’t changed, and he felt a little relieved.
Like a dog who had done something wrong, he lowered his head and followed Zhuo Huaimo step by step.
The atmosphere in the living room was a little delicate.
Qi Yanwang sat uneasily on the sofa, while Zhuo Huaimo leaned against the table.
He slowly lit a cigarette, and wisps of smoke rose between the two of them.
“What do you want to say?”
Zhuo Huaimo flicked the ashes, and the sparks flickered in the glass tank, “Say you didn’t mean it? Say you were impulsive that day, and then apologize to me, and I’ll forgive you, and we’ll be like nothing happened?”
Qi Yanwang clenched the sofa armrest tightly, and the leather made a slight creaking sound, “I don’t mean that!”
The air suddenly froze.
Zhuo Huaimo’s hand holding the cigarette stopped in mid-air, and the ashes fell on his custom suit, “You don’t mean that? Then what do you mean?”
He suddenly leaned over and supported himself on either side of Qi Yanwang, “Confirm whether you’re good in bed by using force? Is it that you’re not good with everyone? Or only good with me?”
Qi Yanwang was forced to lean back by the strong scent of cedar, and his Adam’s apple rolled heavily, “I want…”
“What do you want?”
Zhuo Huaimo extinguished the cigarette butt on the red mark on his collarbone, and the burning pain made Qi Yanwang groan, “Want to try what a man tastes like? Want to verify how indulgent I am to you?”
“No!”
Qi Yanwang suddenly grabbed his wrist and found that the pulse under his palm was beating just as crazily, “That day you said you wanted to find someone to replace me… I don’t want to be replaced, and I don’t want the position in your heart that belongs to me to be replaced!”
Zhuo Huaimo was stunned, and suddenly laughed, with ice crystals in his eyes, “The position in my heart? Why do you think there’s still a position for you in my heart? I gave you a chance, but you said you weren’t interested, you said we weren’t suitable, so what? You regret it now?”
He suddenly approached, his fingertips brushed across his hot earlobe,
“Qi Yanwang, don’t forget, all the opportunities you have now were given to you by me. Even if I once had a little interest in you, why do you think this novelty can last until now? And why do you think you can rely on my novelty for you to do whatever you want? If I want someone like you, I can find a lot!”
Qi Yanwang’s eyes were bloodshot, and his hands hanging by his side were clenched into fists, “Novelty? You’re talking to me about novelty?”
He pushed Zhuo Huaimo against the wall, holding him in place with one hand around his neck,
“I came to you with a high fever, flying for dozens of hours, and you’re talking to me about novelty?”
Zhuo Huaimo looked at his red eyes and pale lips. He knew that Qi Yanwang was really sick.
He couldn’t help feeling a blockage in his heart and brushed away his hand,
“Go back, I’m tired, I don’t want to talk anymore!”
Qi Yanwang pulled him back and pushed him against the wall again, staring at him with bloodshot eyes.
“What? Do you want to force me again?”
Zhuo Huaimo looked at him coldly, with ice seeming to form in his eyes…
