With this look, everyone saw Xue Jue’s figure behind him through Zu Qi.

For a moment, almost everyone was stunned.

Why was Xue Jue here… No, it should be why Xue Jue was here on the set? This was so unlike Xue Jue’s behavior as rumored online.

Only Director Wang walked over cheerfully, his face full of wrinkles and a bright smile: “Welcome, welcome, is it Mr. Xue’s first time visiting the crew? We may be shooting a little late today, as the task is heavier.”

After hearing Director Wang say this, everyone else looked like they had seen a ghost.

As they all knew, Director Wang was the one who loved Zu Qi the most among them. When he sometimes mentioned Xue Jue before, he seemed to want to rush directly to Xue Jue, pick him up and scold him on the ground.

But in just a short time, Director Wang’s attitude towards Xue Jue had actually changed 180 degrees.

However, Xue Jue didn’t seem to agree with Director Wang. He just nodded coldly and said, “You are busy, so don’t worry about me.”

“That’s fine.” Thinking about the embarrassing incident not long ago, Director Wang felt guilty again.

Thinking again that Xue Jue was still a big shot in the investor circle, and if he offended him, it may be difficult to get future investments, for a moment, Director Wang was so regretful that his intestines turned blue.

Impulse was the devil!

At this moment, Director Wang deeply realized the importance of this sentence, but it was too late.

He really wanted to worship Xue Jue as his ancestor. He rubbed his hands and said with a smile, “Then you can go to my place to rest first. I’ll have someone bring you some heaters. There’s no way to turn on the heating here. You just wait a moment.”

Xue Jue still looked cold, holding the babbling Xue Wanwan in his arms, and seemed to have written the four characters “Strangers stay away” between his eyebrows.

“No need to go to such trouble.” Xue Jue said.

“It’s not troublesome.” Director Wang said hurriedly, “It’s not troublesome at all.”

However, Zu Qi, who was next to him, couldn’t bear to see Director Wang being so polite, so he walked between the two of them, smoothed the situation and said, “Director Wang, Xue Jue is here with me. So, he’ll wait there, just pretend he doesn’t exist.”

Director Wang: “…”

A living financial sponsor dad was standing there. Even if they were blind, they could feel the brilliance emanating from Xue Jue. It would be too difficult to pretend that he did not exist!

However, Zu Qi did not give Director Wang a chance to refute, and immediately directed Xiao Dengzi to say, “Take them to the rest room.”

After Xiao Dengzi nodded in agreement, Zu Qi turned to look at Xue Jue, “Just wait for me. I’ll come to you when I’m done.”

Xue Jue responded obediently, “Okay.”

At the same time, Xue Wanwan, who was held upright in Xue Jue’s arms, let out a childish voice, and stretched out his two chubby hands, waving towards Zu Qi constantly, hoping that Zu Qi would hug him.

Now that the little guy was almost four months old, he knew how to express what he wanted through actions.

Zu Qi looked at Xue Wanwan’s white and tender little face, and his heart suddenly softened. He gently pinched the little guy’s face. It was soft and waxy, and it felt very much like the small desserts sent by Tian Daozhu a few days ago.

“Son, be good, daddy has to go to work.” Zu Qi lowered his head and kissed Xue Wanwan on the cheek, then rubbed the little guy’s head wearing a plush hat, “I’ll play with you later.”

Director Wang and his assistant had cold sweats on their faces.

They thought, why are Zu Qi’s words used to coax children so familiar? Oh, by the way… when he spoke to Xue Jue just now, he also had the same coaxing tone.

Looking up at Xue Jue again, he didn’t seem to think it was weird at all and was watching Zu Qi’s interaction with the child with a smile.

Director Wang and assistant director were in a state of confusion, and both had a sense of confusion as their perceptions had been subverted.

Others present also had expressions on their faces that were hard to explain.

After settling Xue Jue and Xue Wanwan, Zu Qi quickly threw himself into the intense shooting.

Perhaps it stemmed from his love for acting. But Zu Qi had always been very serious when filming, and he never complained about being tired. Most of the time during the intermission, he would curl up in front of the heater and read the script, wrapped in a down jacket.

However, this time there was concern. As soon as Director Wang shouted cut, Zu Qi rushed into the lounge at lightning speed, twice without even having time to change his clothes.

When everyone saw it, they couldn’t help but joke: “Qi Qi, do you know that you are like a henpecked man now?”

Zu Qi smiled and shrugged, without denying it.

He just didn’t want Xue Jue and Xue Wanwan to be bored in the lounge, so he would run in and talk to them when he had time, but there was no need to tell outsiders these words.

And it turned out that Xue Jue was never too bored no matter where he went. There was piles of work waiting for him to deal with, and work calls came one after another. Later, Xue Jue seemed to get bored and turned off his phone directly.

Then Xue Jue raised his eyes and looked at Zu Qi, with a smile on his lips and a gentle light in his eyes. He said, “That’s it. We can talk quietly for a while.”

Zu Qi had no choice but to talk. So, he shook his head: “Originally, I came in to accompany you to relieve your boredom, but now it’s you who has to put down your work to chat with me.”

Xue Jue didn’t take it seriously: “The work is never finished, the rest will be left until tomorrow.”

Zu Qi said, “We can talk about it tomorrow…”

“That’s different.” Xue Jue interrupted Zu Qi with a smile, and while Xue Wanwan was making noises, he grabbed Zu Qi’s clothes and leaned forward. Approaching Zu Qi, their foreheads were touching.

They were very close, their breaths intertwined, and in this quiet environment, they seemed to be able to hear each other’s heartbeats.

At this moment, Zu Qi’s cheeks were hot, and he felt that Xue Jue’s breath seemed to have a scorching temperature, making his whole face turn red.

Zu Qi even subconsciously wanted to step back. After realizing his thoughts, he quickly forced himself to stay still and raised his eyes to look at Xue Jue.

He had to say that Xue Jue’s eyes were extremely beautiful, like amber that had been baptized by gurgling spring water, clean, clear, and without any impurities.

Zu Qi’s slightly nervous face was clearly reflected inside.

Immediately, Xue Jue turned his head and placed a kiss like a dragonfly on Zu Qi’s lips. After a pause of two or three seconds, he kissed him again without giving Zu Qi any time to breathe.

This time the kiss was no longer just a taste. He carefully used the tip of his tongue to pry open Zu Qi’s teeth, licked around inside, and gently bit Zu Qi’s lower lip.

After their lips and tongues intertwined, both people’s breathing was a little messy.

“Look, the feeling of kissing now is different from just now.” Xue Jue did not rush to distance himself but said against Zu Qi’s thin lips.

Zu Qi’s face was almost as red as a monkey’s ass, and it took him a long while to spit out a sentence that lacked confidence: “No matter what you say, it makes sense, but I can’t explain you.”

After saying this, Zu Qi suddenly thought that he and Xue Jue had just met at the resort. At that time, the scene where he made Xue Jue jump in anger with just a few words made me sigh that the situation has changed.

You have today too!

Zu Qi said to himself secretly.

When Xiao Dengzi called him out of the lounge, Zu Qi still had two clusters of blush on his cheeks, his lips were a little swollen, and his peach blossom eyes had a hazy sheen.

A discerning person would know what happened to Zu Qi at a glance…

Unfortunately, Xiao Dengzi, who had been single since birth, did not notice anything was wrong. He even exclaimed in surprise, pointed at Zu Qi’s mouth and said: “Brother Qi, your mouth, why is it swollen? Could it be a mosquito bite?”

As soon as Xiao Dengzi said this, several staff members passing by looked over with meaningful expressions on their faces.

Zu Qi was silent for a moment: “…Yes, it’s a big mosquito.”

Xiao Dengzi said anxiously: “Let me buy you some anti-swelling medicine.”

“No need.” Zu Qi could feel that his face was almost red to the point as if about to bleed, so he gritted his teeth in shame and said, “It’ll be fine in a moment, don’t worry about me.”

Hearing this, Xiao Dengzi scratched his head in confusion: “But…”

“But what, have you finished your work?” Duan Kai didn’t know how appeared out of nowhere and slapped Xiao Dengzi on the back, “They are still waiting for the information they want you to prepare, so hurry up and go.”

Xiao Dengzi ran away quickly, his chubby body as light as a feather.

Zu Qi glanced at Duan Kai secretly and found that Duan Kai was also looking at him with a half-smile, so he said in a voice like a mosquito: “Thank you.”

“No thanks needed.” Duan Kai hesitated, hesitating. After a long time, he still suggested with sincerity, “Young people should be more restrained, the future is bright.”

Zu Qi froze in place.

It wasn’t until Duan Kai walked away that Zu Qi reacted belatedly and let out a chuckle in his heart.

Why can’t you restrain yourself, just because of a kiss? No matter what we do, it’s better restraint than having sex in the bathroom!

The last scene tonight took a long time to shoot, and it was already past four in the morning when they finished.

There was a small bed in Zu Qi’s lounge that he usually used for resting. He asked Xue Jue to lie on the bed and take a nap. When he returned to the lounge after taking off his makeup and changing clothes, he saw Xue Wanwan lying on his back and sleeping soundly in bed.

The warm little heater was facing the little guy on the bed. The kid didn’t even cover himself with the quilt. His whole little body was in a large shape, and his posture looked very heroic.

Xue Jue was sitting on the sofa next to him, looking down at his phone, probably dealing with official business again.

Hearing Zu Qi’s footsteps, Xue Jue slowly raised his head, met Zu Qi’s gaze and smiled slightly: “You’re done?”

“Well, I’m done.” Zu Qi took a breath.

Obviously he had been soaking in the cold water for half an hour and didn’t feel anything. Now when he heard Xue Jue’s three words, his eyes and nose suddenly felt sore.

It seemed like something was rising up his body.

In just an instant, a sour and astringent feeling filled his entire chest.

He suddenly wanted to cry.

Not only did Xue Jue wait for him until four in the morning, but he also suddenly felt the feeling of home that he had not felt for a long time.

Xue Jue stood up, sighed, walked over and hugged Zu Qi gently, his voice low and sonorous: “Let’s go, we are going back.”

Zu Qi sniffed and nodded.

When they left, they inevitably became the center of attention again.

Zu Qi had long been accustomed to everyone’s eyes with other emotions, and Xue Jue never cared what other people thought of him, and still carried Xue Wanwan back and forth.

When Xue Jue first appeared on the set, some staff made a private bet on whether Xue Jue could stay there for more than a day.

Almost everyone thought that Xue Jue would leave within a day, but in the end they all lost, and Xue Jue stayed there until the night of New Year’s Eve.
