He had always been Yuan Ye’s pride. This had never changed.

Fang Shaoyi had never filmed a movie as difficult as this one. There were a lot of struggles. Many things that he originally could’ve easily accomplished were now impossible. But fortunately, he ultimately finished filming in the end. pzFMQs

The day Fang Shaoyi finished filming all his scenes, the director gave him a very thick red envelope. Fang Shaoyi held it in his hand and cocked an eyebrow to ask with a smile, “Quite thick, huh?”

The director didn’t answer. He hugged Fang Shaoyi with one arm and gently patted him on the back. “You’ve worked hard.”

Fang Shaoyi held onto his bouquet of flowers while bowing to everyone. “Everyone has worked hard. Because of me, it was really hard for everyone to pass all of their scenes. I’ve troubled you.”

“Don’t say that, Teacher Shaoyi,” someone said from nearby. After, everyone else also added, “You’ve worked hard.” gZP0cn

That day, Fang Shaoyi shook hands with each main cast member and shared a short conversation with them. Technically, there needed to be a celebratory banquet, but Fang Shaoyi’s current health prevented him from eating a lot of things. He also couldn’t have any alcohol. Additionally, the cigarette smoke and smell of alcohol at these gatherings were unhealthy. Thus, they skipped the banquet. The director said, “When you get back, come to my house. I’ll make you whatever you want to eat.”

Fang Shaoyi nodded and replied, “Call me when you get back.”

Director Wei said, “Recover well. We still have a lot of time left in the future. All the things you’ve done for me, I’ve noted in my heart. Wait and see.”

Fang Shaoyi shook his head. He furrowed his brows and said, “Leader, you’re being too distant.” heFzfJ

Director Wei chuckled a few times. He then patted Fang Shaoyi’s uninjured shoulder. After, he looked at Yuan Ye and said, “Little Yuan has worked hard too.”

Yuan Ye chuckled and shook his head. His laughter was just as carefree as usual. “There’s no such thing as working hard or not for me. I’m durable.”

This movie hadn’t been completed smoothly. From beginning to end, there had been hurdles after hurdles. But Fang Shaoyi had already done his best to ensure that it could be finished in a way that preserved the completeness of the plot. Initially, he had accepted this role as a means of saving this movie during a critical moment. Regarding the accident on set, Fang Shaoyi hadn’t asked for even one cent of compensation. With him leading by example, the two other younger actors couldn’t bring up any requests either. Later, before he had even completely recovered, he had headed straight to the film set to finish his scenes after being discharged from the hospital. Given his relationship with Director Wei, everything Fang Shaoyi had done proved how much he cared about this relationship.

True, heartfelt emotions were rare in this industry, but ultimately existed. Not everything was cold. There were always some places that maintained their warmth. EuVU0D

Fang Shaoyi returned from the film set. When the plane landed at the airport, the two of them still felt a bit dazed. The last time Fang Shaoyi had returned had been when Yuan Ye had twisted his ankle. At that time, none of the following events had happened yet. The company sent a car over to pick them up. Ji Xiaotao told the driver, “Come, little bro. Come down. I’ll drive.”

“Don’t, Xiaotao ge. You guys are already tired enough because of the flight.” The driver was terrified. “I can drive. I’m pretty good at driving, don’t worry.”

“That’s not it.” Ji Xiaotao didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “I’m telling you to come down, so come down.”

The driver took off his seatbelt and came down from the car. Ji Xiaotao patted him on the shoulder and said, “It’s fine. Don’t panic.” 7QzXuv

Ji Xiaotao dropped the driver off at the company on the way back. The two people in the back seat were both asleep. Ji Xiaotao told the driver, “Go on.”

“Then……” The driver still didn’t really dare to leave. His original task had been to send all three of these people home. However, he hadn’t sent even one of them home; instead, he himself had been sent back here by someone else.

Fang Shaoyi nodded. He pulled out a mask and put it on.

After parking the car carefully, Ji Xiaotao turned off the engine and undid his seatbelt. He removed his phone from his pocket and started filming with the camera pointed at the back seat.

Fang Shaoyi woke Yuan Ye up. “Ye ge, time to wake up.”

This call of “Ye ge” was too out of the blue. Yuan Ye’s eyes were open, but he still felt like he maybe hadn’t woken up. When had Fang Shaoyi ever called him this? Yuan Ye’s expression was bewildered. He had just woken up, so his voice was a bit hoarse. “What are you doing……What random nicknames are you calling out?” bd0Amv

Fang Shaoyi said, “We’re here. Stop sleeping.”

Yuan Ye sat up. He rubbed his eyes and asked, “You just called me Ye ge, right? Have you fallen ill……”

“Nope.” Fang Shaoyi handed him a bottle of water. Yuan Ye accepted it and took a sip. He looked up and saw Ji Xiaotao, thus furrowed his brows and asked the other, “What are you filming? Why’s your phone all up in our faces?”

Ji Xiaotao didn’t answer. Instead, he told Yuan Ye, “Ye ge, smile. Hold up a peace sign.” De16uh

“Peace sign my ass!” Yuan Ye had completely woken up. He felt like something was off. He glanced outside the car window. “Where are we? Are you two going to sell me?”

Fang Shaoyi placed his hand on the back of Yuan Ye’s head and wobbled it around. Then, he opened the door and got out of the car. After, he leaned over to tug Yuan Ye. “Come out.”

“I refuse. I think there’s a conspiracy going on.” Yuan Ye felt like these two weren’t acting normal.

Fang Shaoyi was mearing a mask over his face; his expression couldn’t be seen. He grabbed Yuan Ye by the arm and pulled. “Come down. Why are you sitting there?” 6RV3Om

“Why would I get off?!” Yuan Ye didn’t really dare to fight back. He was scared that if he made too big of a move, he would hurt Fang Shaoyi. Eventually, he started laughing and told Fang Shaoyi, “You’re making it seem like I don’t dare to get off the car. Tell me what you guys want to do. If you’re going to sell me, just tell me. I can even help you count the money. What’s the meaning of pointing a camera at me and filming incessantly?”

After saying this, Yuan Ye pushed the phone in Ji Xiaotao’s hand away. “Little brat. Keep colluding with your ge to trick me. I can’t teach your ge a lesson right now, but I can teach you a lesson!”

Ji Xiaotao’s phone was still raised. He seemed like a stubborn reporter. “Ye ge, I had no choice!”

Yuan Ye poked his head out and looked around. After a few glances, he quite cleverly came to a general conclusion. Now that he understood, he absolutely couldn’t get out of the car. He crossed his arms over his chest and remained with his butt glued to the seat. He leaned his head against the back of the seat, as stable as a Buddha statue. xeFzDB

Fang Shaoyi tugged off his mask and lowly asked Yuan Ye, “Are you getting off or not?”

Yuan Ye squeezed his eyes shut and shook his head.

Fang Shaoyi gazed at him. He had been leaning over for a long time. He let go of Yuan Ye and held onto the side of his chest. “It hurts.”

“Don’t mess around.” Yuan Ye glanced at him. “Quit faking.” Ix3OdF

Fang Shaoyi stood up straight and exhaled. He gently furrowed his brows. It looked like he really was slightly uncomfortable. “You bumped into me just now.”

Oh really? I bumped into you?
