Chapter 62: Mr. Huo’s Trouble
“Mr. Huo…!”
Chu Qing’s whole body was stiff, his heart beating faster and faster.
“Shh,” Mr. Huo said with a hoarse laugh. “I’m Versailles, the one you love.”
He stared blankly at him.
He had acted so many times today, and Huo Li had also watched so many times. The two of them really didn’t need a script anymore.
He continued, holding the cigarette in his mouth and leaning down to gently brush the tip of the cigarette against his neck.
But this was a real cigarette. He naturally did not touch him, but just kept a distance and swept it past, so that he could feel the temperature.
This was a very suggestive and tempting action, especially when his hand was still on his back, moving down the groove of his spine.
“Ngh…” he shrank back a little.
“Wrong,” he said with a smile, and reached out to gently pat his back. “Didn’t the director say? You can’t be defeated by the other’s aura. Losessi has always been cold and noble. Your liking has to be a little more restrained, hidden in your eyes.”
He lowered his head and grabbed the corner of his clothes, his voice muffled. “Facing Mr. Huo, how can I possibly hide it…”
This was an unintentional remark, but he was stunned.
Fck…*
This little one.
He took a deep breath, lowered his head, and planted a kiss on the tip of his nose with a smile. “If you can even resist me, are you still afraid of that Versailles?”
He chuckled.
He gently took the cigarette from his mouth and started the action again.
The room was full of the smell of nicotine, and it was even stronger on him.
The atmosphere was a little ambiguous and lustful.
Especially when the tall and handsome man was holding a cigarette and making suggestive and inviting gestures.
His throat was a little dry.
Actually, it wasn’t that he was so pure. It was just that he had been taking medicine all along, which had caused his body to lose its sexual desire, so he had no interest in these things at all. Since he had no interest, he naturally didn’t understand. It was only occasionally, under his coercion and enticement, that he had tried it, and he didn’t like or miss it much afterward.
But now that the two of them were in love, and the atmosphere was passionate, and he had been trying to get into character and imagine, he felt a little hot.
He noticed that he was a little uncomfortable and was a little surprised.
“Qingbao…”
He lowered his head and gently licked his neck, his tongue teasing the spot that had been rubbed red by the fake cigarette during the day.
“It’s all red like this. It saves a lot of work in post-production,” he said with some heartache. “I’ll put some medicine on it for you later.”
He said in a breathy voice, “Don’t…”
If you feel bad for me, then stop…!
He blocked his chest with his hand, his toes curling slightly.
“Qingbao, your face is very red,” he said, looking up with a smile. “Do you like it that much?”
“N-No…”
The next moment, he was pulled into his arms.
His hand, which had been on his back, slid down.
It was rare for him to be interested. He was so happy he wouldn’t let it go. One hand in the front, one in the back, even more excessive than before. The tree in the front yard needed to be taken care of to grow tall, but the flowers in the backyard also needed to be tilled to bloom beautifully. Both had to be done.
“Ngh… phew…”
He bit his shoulder in frustration and helplessness, his whole body trembling.
“Alright, alright. Be good.”
After that, he went to the bathroom for a while. When he came back, he kissed his forehead comfortingly and said gently, “No more fooling around. Shall we continue?”
“…Then you can’t be like this anymore,” he said, turning his head away. “We have to practice properly.”
“Good.”
After that, he did not deliberately fool around. The two of them repeatedly practiced the scene, and he also seriously pointed out his mistakes.
He was already very tired, but he still held on and continued to practice.
But after they finished practicing, they were both a little restless.
He took a deep breath and glanced at the wall clock. “It’s about time. It’s very late. You have to shoot tomorrow. Let’s rest first.”
“Oh…” he nodded.
He climbed into bed and looked at him, who was turning his back to him and preparing to get up. He asked cautiously, “Are you going to the bathroom?”
“…Mmm.”
He sat up and lowered his head. “I can help…”
He himself didn’t feel anything, but he didn’t mind helping his lover solve his problem.
“No need. You go to sleep early. If you help me again…” he raised an eyebrow. “I’m afraid you won’t be able to rest well tonight.”
“…”
He lay down with a blank expression, pulled the blanket over himself, and loved no one.
…
The next day, his shooting went quite smoothly. He passed after three takes.
He was right. After a night of “torment,” his body and brain had gotten used to it, and he had developed a habit. And now, seeing Versailles tease him with the same moves, his mind was full of “that’s it?” “Mr. Huo is so much more handsome!” He was not moved at all, and he was not nervous either.
In the end, the cigarette butt brushed against his sensitive neck. He was a little itchy and shrank his neck.
The “accident” from last night came to his mind, and combined with the current plot, a hint of lust flashed in his eyes.
This scene was captured by a close-up camera, and Roseland was very satisfied.
“Chu, you did very well today!” he said with a smile. “You must have worked hard last night! Thank you for your hard work!”
Versailles also praised, “Chu was amazing today. He even got me into character. How did you practice last night?”
He paused, his ears turning slightly red, and said with a smile, “I just kept practicing repeatedly.”
“Ah, like that… thank you for your hard work,” he said, and nodded. “I have to learn too…”
Roseland was like a shrewd person. He guessed it at a glance and raised an eyebrow to tease him. “You can’t learn Chu’s method. You don’t have a boyfriend.”
His face was even redder.
“Ah…?” he looked at him, puzzled. What does this have to do with having a boyfriend?
“I… I’m going to take off my makeup first! Teacher Monk still needs my help!” he said, and ran away with a red face.
“Hahaha…” Roseland couldn’t stop laughing.
And after he had slipped away to the dressing room to take off his makeup, it was already evening. He looked at the sky and let out a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, I didn’t drag everyone down…
He folded his hands, lay on the dressing table, and buried his head in his arms, not saying a word.
The big stone in his heart was temporarily lifted, and he was also exhausted.
Fortunately, I didn’t mess up.
I… can also do it.
He sniffled, and for some reason, he felt a little sad, but he didn’t dare to tell anyone. He only relaxed after he was the only one left in the dressing room. Otherwise, he would have left a dramatic impression on others.
“Qingbao?”
As soon as he pushed the door open, he saw him curled up at the table. He went over and hugged him. “What’s wrong? Did you miss me?”
“No.”
He said nervously, “Mr. Huo, you go out first…”
“Hmm? What did you say?” he said, and hugged him from behind, resting his head on his shoulder and kissing his hair. “What shampoo did you use? It smells so good…”
“Ah… it’s from the studio. I used the shampoo in the manor’s bathroom…” he was successfully sidetracked.
“So,” he got to the point. “That bastard Monk uses the same shampoo as you?”
“We all use the same in our group…” he said helplessly.
“Puke,” he said with a blank expression. “It stinks.”
He kicked him.
“Shall I take you out for a walk?” he said, and pulled him up with a smile. “Let’s go out for a walk. It’s also exercise, and then we’ll eat something delicious.”
“No… I want to go back to my room and rest…”
“It’s so early now. What are you going to do when you go back?”
“…I don’t know.” Be in a daze?
He took his hand and walked out of the dressing room. “Then you can still accompany me for a walk.”
The two went outside, walking and stopping on the street, and finally stopped in front of a cake shop.
He smiled and led him in, letting him choose his favorite cake. The two sat in a cute little cubicle and ate.
“Is it good?”
He took a bite of the matcha cheesecake. It was sweet but not greasy, and had a light tea fragrance.
“It’s good…” he took another bite and looked at him with a grin.
“If it’s good, then eat more. I’ll order another one for you after you’re done,” he said, propping up his chin and looking at him with gentle eyes.
He patted his head. “I brought you out also because I have to do another thing.”
He had accompanied him to the hospital to get his medicine and for a follow-up before.
But it just so happened that his long-term attending physician had taken a leave of absence and was not there. And he was unwilling to let any other doctor who knew nothing take over, so he had just taken him to do a full set of tests and questionnaires, and would only let the doctor make a judgment after he came back.
“Dr. Lu is back. You can video call him,” he said with a smile. “That’s why I brought you out. One, to relax and eat something sweet, and two, you don’t want to video call him in a work place where there might be other people disturbing you, right?”
“Mmm…!” he nodded.
Now they were in a small corner outside, with no one around, very private.
So he called and connected the video.
On the other end of the video was a gentle-looking middle-aged doctor.
“Chu Qing, long time no see. How have you been lately?”
“Mmm, mmm…!” he nodded obediently.
The doctor smiled. “I heard from my colleague the other day that someone accompanied you to do the tests.”
He lowered his head and said in a small voice, “He’s my… lover.”
The doctor was stunned, and then his face lit up with a smile. “Congratulations!”
Then the doctor chatted with him and asked a few questions one after another. After the video ended, he handed the tablet back to him.
Seeing that he was a little nervous, he said with a smile, “It’s okay. You don’t have to worry about any results.”
“Mmm.”
He went to buy him another piece of cake. After he finished eating, the test report came by email.
He didn’t dare to look and pushed the tablet that was handed to him back into his hand.
He read for a moment and said with a smile, “Silly Qingbao, you can look yourself.”
“Ah…?” he looked at him cautiously.
“You look yourself. Don’t be afraid,” he said, and handed him the tablet, looking very happy.
He took the tablet and couldn’t believe his eyes as he read.
“I… got better?”
In the first few years, he had been severe, and later he had slowly gotten through it and had gotten to moderate. After that, he had always been in a moderate state, but during this period, he had often reached a severe state, and at the very least, he was close to severe.
But the result of this test was that it was below moderate, close to mild.
He smiled. “Dr. Lu said that if this continues, mild is just around the corner.”
“Mmm… mmm!”
He held the tablet, his eyes not moving away for a long time.
He felt very happy and let out a sigh of relief.
But at the same time, he also felt pressure. The breath he had just let out was held up again.
What if it relapses… what if the next test goes back to the past?
Then will I disappoint him?
“What are you thinking about? You’re going to stare a hole through the tablet,” he said helplessly, patting the back of his hand.
“I…” he opened his mouth, but in the end, he said nothing.
“Say it,” he said, tapping his nose. “If you don’t say it, I’ll punish you with twenty kisses.”
“…”
He began to consider how long twenty would take.
Huo Li: “…”
Huo Li: “You’ve changed.”
He was in pain and also happy.
He lowered his head with a smile. A moment later, he said, “Can this result… last forever?”
“It can.”
“Why?”
He said without a shred of doubt, “Because I’m here.”
He was stunned.
Then, he lowered his head and smiled.
So proud.
So very proud.
But he did feel much more at ease.
There’s nothing Mr. Huo can’t do…!
He smiled and looked at his eyes. “Qingbao, if it really relapses or bounces back in the future, you don’t have to be afraid. You can get to this data now, and you can in the future. I’m here.”
“Mmm,” he nodded.
As the sky grew dark, the two left the small cake shop and prepared to go back.
There were not many people in the small town at night. The two walked in the alley, accompanied only by the faint streetlights and the moonlight.
He took his hand. “Shall I watch a documentary with you when we get back? I found a very interesting animal series.”
“I’m not a child…”
“Alright then. I’ll go find a few good adult films for you. Do you like group sports or two-person sports?”
Chu Qing: “…”
Chu Qing: “The animal documentary is quite good.”
“Tsk.”
After the two turned out of the alley, what they saw was a small night market. A little girl saw them and went over, handing him a flower from her basket with a smile. “Sir, would you like to buy a flower? For, for someone you like!”
He chuckled and took the rose. “How much?”
“If you buy my brother’s ice cream, it’s free!” the little girl said, pointing to a small stall on the side. “Uncle, can you please buy my brother’s thing! My mom is in a hurry for money… she, she’s sick…”
He and Chu Qing looked at each other, and he smiled. “Sure.”
How could I bear to refuse.
He took him past a few stalls and came to the one the little girl had mentioned.
“Good evening, sir!” the little girl’s brother—a red-haired young man—saw the customer and immediately and enthusiastically went around the stall to introduce, “We have a special handmade gelato here!”
He let him choose himself.
The red-haired young man filled a full bowl and handed it to him.
Thump—!
The change happened at this moment.
The young man suddenly pulled something out of his sleeve, and he reacted even faster. His gaze hardened, and he reached out to knock the thing out of his hand and struck his wrist hard, so hard that he cried out.
He saw a sharp dagger fall from the young man’s hand.
His eyes widened.
The young man’s face then changed, and he pulled another knife from his pocket with a fierce expression and pounced on him.
“Mr. Huo…!!”
He dodged to the side and started to fight with the young man, and the “stall owners” around them also took out their weapons and came towards them with unfriendly expressions.
He even saw a handgun.
“H-Mr. Huo!”
He pulled him into his arms to protect him. “Don’t be afraid. I have many bodyguards. They’ve been following us in the car all along. They’ll be here soon.”
He said sternly, “When I tell you to go later, you go immediately. Understand?”
“Mmm, mmm…” he nodded like a woodpecker. “I’ll definitely listen…! I, I won’t cause you any trouble!”
Thump—!
He grabbed the young man’s hand and threw him over his shoulder, smashing him on the ice cream bucket, a complete mess.
Damn it.
Z’s men had really come after them.
His gaze was sinister.
