【Abo】After Being Accidentally Tagged By Bingshan Movie King Chapter 16
byChapter 16 Confessing the Past
Shen Lingfeng quickly replied: [I’m free, I can leave now. I should arrive around 11 o’clock.]
Su Chenhui: [Okay, see you at eleven.]
Shen Lingfeng: [Mhm, see you then.]
After sending the messages, Shen Lingfeng rushed to the mirror to tidy himself up carefully, then set off, feeling both anticipation and a little nervousness.
When he arrived at the entrance of the Hualake Scenic Area, Su Chenhui was already there.
“Ah, Mr. Su, have you been waiting long? I’m sorry to keep you.”
“No, I just arrived too,” Su Chenhui said calmly. “Just call me by my name from now on.”
“Then I’ll call you…” Shen Lingfeng’s face flushed slightly, and he softly called out, “Chenhui?”
“Mm.”
“…Then Chenhui, shall we go in?” Shen Lingfeng was usually an outgoing person, but at this moment, he felt somewhat flustered, unsure what to say or do.
Su Chenhui walked into the scenic area with him and looked at the small boats floating on the shimmering lake. “Do you like boating? Should we rent one?”
“It’s not that I like it, to be precise, I’m not very good at rowing…” Shen Lingfeng gave an awkward laugh. “But we can try.”
“It’s fine, we’re just having fun.”
They then rented a small boat for two. After boarding, Shen Lingfeng clumsily picked up an oar and tried hard to row.
“I’ll steer,” Su Chenhui, sitting at the stern, smiled. “You can just paddle casually.”
Shen Lingfeng realized that the word “paddle casually” seemed to have a double meaning…
“Chenhui, you’re amazing. How do you know how to do everything?” Saying something like this didn’t really fit Shen Lingfeng’s image as a fierce Omega, but it was truly his heartfelt exclamation at the moment.
“It’s nothing. I had a scene involving rowing in a movie we shot last time, so I learned a little.”
Under Su Chenhui’s skilled control, the small boat glided towards the lake island covered in blooming flowers, where waves of delicate fragrance were intoxicating.
Then Su Chenhui released the oar. “Let’s take a break. We can let it drift around here for a while. Look at you, you’re all sweaty.”
“…Ah haha, it is a bit hot.” Shen Lingfeng also put down his oar and wiped the sweat from his forehead. In reality, he wasn’t primarily hot; he was nervous because he didn’t want to embarrass himself in front of Su Chenhui.
“I saw Su Ziyao this morning,” Su Chenhui brought up the topic unexpectedly. “I taught him a lesson. I think he won’t dare to bother you again.”
“Taught him a lesson?” Shen Lingfeng was stunned. “How did you do it? You didn’t do anything illegal, did you?”
“Don’t worry, it won’t meet the standard for intentional injury.”
“…” Hearing Su Chenhui say that made Shen Lingfeng even more anxious.
“When it comes to violence, how could I compare to his father?”
“…But they are father and son; they can do whatever they want with each other.”
“We are brothers,” Su Chenhui stated flatly.
This seemingly simple and calm sentence made Shen Lingfeng’s heart skip a beat.
But he didn’t press the issue, instead changing the subject: “Thank you for speaking up for me on Weibo yesterday. I noticed that far fewer people are cursing me, and many of your fans even apologized to me. An idol’s words really carry weight.”
“What? You don’t want to ask me anything?” Su Chenhui pulled the conversation back to the original topic. “Was my attitude too cold that time, giving you psychological trauma?”
“Yes, what exactly do you want!” Shen Lingfeng couldn’t help but complain. “One minute you tell me to put away my boring curiosity, and the next you deliberately tempt me to ask!”
“That depends on my mood. It just so happens that I feel like talking today.” Su Chenhui gave a maddening reply.
Shen Lingfeng glared at him fiercely. “Since you’re so eager to talk today, why don’t you just tell me? Do I still have to ask?”
“…” Su Chenhui was momentarily speechless, then finally said, “Fine, I’ll tell you directly. I am Su Wei’s illegitimate son.”
From the events of the past two days, Shen Lingfeng had already vaguely guessed Su Chenhui’s background, so he wasn’t too surprised now.
“When Su Wei approached my mother, he lied and said he was unmarried. My mother foolishly started dating him… Later, when she learned the truth that he was married, my mother was both heartbroken and furious. Despite being pregnant, she resolutely broke up with him.
“My mother originally wanted to raise me alone and have nothing to do with Su Wei, but Su Wei insisted on giving her child support every month.
“When I was seventeen, my mother passed away from illness. She was worried that I would have no one to care for me after she was gone, so her dying wish was for me to return to the Su family and acknowledge my ancestry. Although I didn’t want to, I had no choice but to follow Su Wei back to A City and change my name according to his wishes.”
Hearing this, Shen Lingfeng couldn’t help but interject: “So you really are Chu Hao!”
Shen Lingfeng couldn’t help but feel emotional, realizing that they had both lived in A City for so many years without ever crossing paths again.
Although the conversation had reached this point, Su Chenhui still didn’t acknowledge Shen Lingfeng’s comment, only continuing: “Unfortunately, Su Wei never actually intended for me to acknowledge my ancestry. When I arrived in A City, he secretly placed me in a relative’s house, only occasionally showing his face. He repeatedly asked me to understand that if the news of his illegitimate son were exposed, it would significantly affect the company’s stock price… Tell me, if it were you, would you understand?”
“…” Shen Lingfeng really wanted to curse, “What a scumbag father!” but he thought it was impolite and managed to hold back.
“A Hao, those things in the past are over, you…”
“Since you know they are over,” Su Chenhui interrupted him, “don’t mention the old name again.”
“…I don’t understand. You said you didn’t actually want to change your name, right? Shouldn’t you prefer the name Chu Hao then?”
“I don’t want the surname Su, but I don’t want the surname Chu either,” Su Chenhui said flatly.
“Uh, is there something else you haven’t told me?”
“That’s all I can tell you today.” Su Chenhui averted his gaze, looking towards the shore. “Let’s row back.”
“Okay.” Shen Lingfeng didn’t say anything more.
After that date, the relationship between Shen Lingfeng and Su Chenhui became much more harmonious, and his time filming the movie became more enjoyable.
Every day during filming was a time when he could see Su Chenhui. As for other times, because there were already rumors about them, they couldn’t always meet openly. Even when they did meet, they had to be secretive, trying their best not to be seen by the paparazzi or discovered by others.
In the following months, Su Chenhui would go to accompany Shen Lingfeng every time he entered his Heat Period.
However, he only ever performed a Temporary Mark, and the two never broke through that final barrier, maintaining a relationship that was more than friendship but less than lovers.
Then, the day came to shoot the final scene.
The day before Bai Shuixian decided to poison herself, she went to pay respects at Li Guoliang’s grave.
So, it could be said that this was a scene of farewell.
