Chapter 47.1 - Face Value is Justice
This simple piece of paper was still carefully packed into the picture frame. Obviously, the owner of this picture frame cherished this piece of paper and this particular youth.
Bai Xiyan’s hands couldn’t help but tremble. Then, the trembling slowly spread throughout his body as he stared at the photo frame, his eyes even bursting with blood. Suddenly, Bai Xiyan threw the picture frame away in his hands and searched frantically through the house.
Bai Xiyan didn’t miss any hidden corners, and he found quite a few things in his search.
Magazines, posters, and other miscellaneous things, all of which were about Qing Yun. These were usually hidden in the company by Deng Yunqi, and if it weren’t for the fact that Bai Xiyan hadn’t been home for more than half a month this time, Deng Yunqi wouldn’t have brought these things home.
Bai Xiyan’s eyes were simply unable to shed a single tear as he looked at these things. He initially thought that the only one on his side was Deng Yunqi, but he was actually so madly infatuated with Qing Yun……
These things were practically the last straw for Bai Xiyan, who slumped on the ground. But after a brief period of pain, Bai Xiyan’s heart was filled with confusion.
Now he had even lost Deng Yunqi?
Deng Yunqi……what about Deng Yunqi? What did Deng Yunqi bring him but betrayal? Resources? How could Deng Yunqi give him as much as what Ning Qianyuan could give Qing Yun?
“Hahahaha……” Bai Xiyan laughed wildly with red eyes. The betrayal started with you.
He thought so, and there was even a great relief in his heart.
Bai Xiyan tremblingly picked up his phone and dialed a number, “Hello, Brother Wei? Earlier, you said that Mr. Wang invited me to dinner. I have agreed.”
"
"
Hanging up the phone, Bai Xiyan was unusually calm. He knew what he would face after this meal, but he didn’t regret it.
Didn’t Qing Yun’s current success come from climbing Ning Qianyuan’s bed?
“Just die! I’m your agent, aren’t I? Can’t you discuss something with me in advance?” Li Qing was roaring in a manic rage again. He felt like he had been shouting more in the last few days than he had in the previous five years, “I’m your agent, so how come I didn’t know you’ve taken on other roles?”
As the object of Li Qing’s rage, Ning Qianyuan was instead swiping at his phone like nothing was wrong.
“I thought we were supposed to make a comeback in Druid 2? Why did you take on another web series and play a supporting role? Can’t you be a little self-conscious for a movie star?” Li Qing was about to explode. At this time, Ning Qianyuan suddenly informed him that he had taken on a web series and the filming schedule was just around the corner.
These kinds of web series have always been filmed as they are aired, and it will be a while before Druid 2 is released. In other words, Ning Qianyuan, the movie star, is going to have to run to a web series to show his face before he makes his comeback on the big screen in an international production.
The role he picked was a supporting character and not just a cameo. Li Qing is now worried about explaining to the outside world why Ning Qianyuan, the film emperor, has suddenly taken a supporting role in a web drama.
Ning Qianyuan originally just wanted to give Qing Yun a surprise. He contacted the director of Qing Yun’s web series “Stealing the Heavens” in advance and took the role of a character who interacts with Qing Yun quite a bit. As for informing Li Qing in advance? Ning Qianyuan didn’t even think about it. If Li Qing knew about it, he would have released the news long ago. Would this still be a surprise for him?
Now…… it’s not like a surprise, but rather a way for him to block people.
Seeing that Li Qing was really annoyed, Ning Qianyuan just then opened his mouth with great compassion. “It’s Valentine’s Day in two days, so put out the word that I’ve made a cameo role in Stealing the Heavens as a gift for everyone.”
Valentine’s Day? Upon hearing this, Li Qing suddenly understood Ning Qianyuan’s intention of picking up this drama and scowled.
He had forgotten in his haste that Qing Yun had also taken over the drama.
Helplessly following Ning Qianyuan’s instructions to make an announcement, Li Qing couldn’t help but silently slander him in his heart.
Ning Qianyuan arrived at the set of Stealing the Heavens with great anticipation but was shaken by the scene he saw.
A woman in a dark red dress stood with her back to him. Her waterfall-like black hair hung straight down with only a slightly ambiguous and wicked curl at the tips. It was an unfamiliar backside, yet those long, smooth, white legs gave Ning Qianyuan a complete sense of familiarity.
It was because it was only the night before that he had kissed every inch of these legs.
Ning Qianyuan’s arrival immediately caused a commotion. The director, who was initially staring around the beauty, immediately rubbed his hands and ran over, “Mr. Ning, you came so early!”
With the director’s words, the person standing with his back to Ning Qianyuan also slightly turned his body sideways. A pair of upturned peach blossom eyes looked over at him, and the dark eyes seemed to swirl with a light wine red color. It was as intoxicating as a fine wine.
Ning Qianyuan completely ignored the director, who ran to his side. His eyes were filled with Qing Yun, who was different from his usual self. Ning Qianyuan’s breathing gradually became heavier, and a strange redness rose from the base of his ears, slowly spreading upwards.
Li Qing, who was standing by the side, saw that the situation was not right and immediately parted the surrounding crowd. He escorted Ning Qianyuan to the dressing room: “Excuse me, everyone, please make way. Qianyuan just got off the plane a little tired. Let him take a break.”
As soon as they heard that Ning Qianyuan was tired, the surrounding people immediately dispersed, allowing him to freely enter his own exclusive dressing room.
After closing the room’s door, only then did Li Qing finally let out a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat on his forehead.
As soon as he turned his head and saw Ning Qianyuan sitting on the chair with a dreamy face, Li Qing became furious and pointed at Ning Qianyuan. “Damn, you’re at least a movie emperor. Can’t you exercise some restraint at a time like this? Look at you. If I hadn’t reacted in time, you would have been embarrassed.”
Saying that, Li Qing’s voice also quieted down. When he remembered Qing Yun’s costume just now, Li Qing couldn’t help but swallow his saliva.
Damn, he’s a straight man, but he almost couldn’t help but bend……
As soon as he was somewhat distracted, Li Qing felt two cold beams of vision and turned his head in a flash. As expected, he saw Ning Qianyuan looking at him coldly.
“I’m straight, straight, straight! So I have no thoughts about Qing Yun, no thoughts……” Li Qing immediately waved his hand to explain.
It was only then that Ning Qianyuan grunted as he stood up. The reactions in his body had subsided down by now. If it weren’t for the fact that he had eaten enough the night before, he probably wouldn’t have calmed down so quickly at this point.
Remembering that glimpse of Qing Yun earlier, Ning Qianyuan felt his nose heat up again. He hurriedly covered his nose and tilted his head to avoid embarrassment. Ning Qianyuan had read the script of “Stealing the Heavens”, so of course, he knew that Qing Yun had a female costume in this drama. However, he was still astonished when he really saw it.
But……is nice to look at. It’s just so underdressed that this outfit should only be worn for him!
After pouring two more bottles of ice water in the dressing room, Ning Qianyuan steadied himself and walked out.
Outside, the director talked to Qing Yun and immediately stood up when he saw Ning Qianyuan: “Hello, Mr. Ning, have you rested? We’ll start shooting after the break?”
It’s no wonder the director is being too flattering. How can he be rude when Ning Qianyuan is a big movie star and brings money into the team?
Ning Qianyuan nodded with a serious face, but was secretly grinding all over to Qing Yun’s side and whispered with a pleasing tone: “Were you tired the day before yesterday? I didn’t know you had a flight the next morning……”
“You wouldn’t do it if you knew?” Qing Yun ripped off the not-so-honest hand behind him.
“Not do it!” Ning Qianyuan nodded unusually firmly. He saw Qing Yun’s face soften a bit, so he couldn’t help but rub over again to invite favor, “Were you surprised to see me on the set?”
“Not surprised.” Qing Yun gave him a sideways glance and said slowly, “I’ve seen everything you wrote on your schedule.”
Ning Qianyuan’s face stiffened. He always had the habit of keeping track of his agenda, but he didn’t expect Qing Yun to see it. The great movie emperor Ning collapsed for the first time, reflecting in his heart whether he really was a bit stupid for messing up such a small surprise.
Looking at the man’s obviously disappointed face, Qing Yun smiled inwardly, admiring it for a long while before touching the man’s hanging fingers.
With just this one small movement, Ning Qianyuan immediately came back full of life. His ears perked up, and the invisible dog’s tail behind him wagged happily.
Li Qing, who was silently keeping a lookout for the two behind, covered his face with a miserable expression at the sight. He suddenly felt that Ning Qianyuan was absolutely hopeless this time.
“Well, since Mr. Ning is here, this first scene of the opening definitely cannot be without you!” The director came over to speak to the two men about the play.
Qing Yun plays a thief in this drama who can steal anything as long as they can afford his expensive hiring fee. In this, his target is the daughter of an Asian Ship King. For this purpose, he goes out of his way to dress up as a woman and enter the luxury ship where his target is.
Ning Qianyuan plays the bodyguard hired by the Ship King for his daughter. Although he acts like a playboy, he is, in fact, a calculating man and fights against Qing Yun, who seduces him. In the end, he succeeds in securing the daughter of the Ship King. Just as he congratulates himself on his victory, the Ship King discovers that the necklace around his daughter’s neck is missing and becomes furious.
Only then did Ning Qianyuan realize that the Ship King’s call for him to protect his daughter was just a cover. What he really wanted to protect was the token around her neck that would activate all of his assets. And what Qing Yun was trying to steal was precisely that.
Here, Ning Qianyuan appeared to be successful but actually lost. However, Qing Yun’s next business began again……
In this drama, as the object of Qing Yun’s seduction, Ning Qianyuan has anticipated the difficulties he will face, as he must act out his own defensiveness, competitiveness, and secret infatuation with Qing Yun. Still, he didn’t expect the director to choose the most explosive scene to start with.
The scene is where the identity of Qing Yun as a thief is revealed, and he comes face to face with Ning Qianyuan in a battle.
On the cold and windy overpass, Qing Yun held a gun in his hand and slowly approached Ning Qianyuan, who was standing in the middle. He walked on high heels of more than ten centimeters. He still had that charm on his face, but a hint of coldness was revealed.
“Hey, baby, before you jump into my arms, can you throw away the toy you’re holding?” With messy hair and a cynical smile on his face, Ning Qianyuan slowly opened his arms towards Qing Yun.
He is an excellent actor. He has perfectly integrated his own infatuation with Qing Yun into the role and has shown the playboy’s provocative side to the fullest.
Qing Yun, who was opposite him, did not fall into a weak position at all with the aura he unleashed. His performance even caused a hint of surprise to appear in Ning Qianyuan’s eyes.
Previously, Ning Qianyuan was afraid that Qing Yun would not be able to act the role by any means necessary, but now he found that Qing Yun had given the part a new meaning. He wasn’t just an unscrupulous thief, but also a thief who dared to say that he was incredibly proud of Stealing the Heavens. For him, there was only the goal of his mission. No one and nothing else could enter his eyes.
Qing Yun’s perfect blend of this character’s pride and ruthlessness and the ultimate charm made this character even more alluring.
Qing Yun spat out a feminine voice that had no contradiction to his current outfit: “Toy? You want to try it?”
The cold wind blew away Qing Yun’s hair on the forehead. He pretended to be naive and tilted his head towards the man in front of him. The original charming devil suddenly revealed a hint of innocence that made people involuntarily stunned.
Taking advantage of the man’s momentary daze, Qing Yun didn’t hesitate to shoot. Unexpectedly, the man in front of him dodged the bullet with a cunning smile. He flew forward directly to embrace the beauty’s waist. He brought the person into the arms but also smoothly took the gun in Qing Yun’s hands.
“Darling, a soft hand like yours shouldn’t be holding something so dangerous, eh?”
Before Ning Qianyuan’s face showed a proud smile, his body suddenly flew up in an over-the-shoulder throw to the ground by the “woman” in his arms. The gun in his hands was also snatched back.
The man’s face, which had been confident of his success, finally showed a trace of surprise. This is by no means the strength that an ordinary woman could have.
In the next second, the sharp heels were stuck directly on his neck.
Qing Yun was looking at him condescendingly. The curled section of her hair shifting lightly before Ning Qianyuan’s eyes, and her feet were slowly applying force.
Ning Qianyuan’s face reddened from lack of oxygen, but the expression on his face did not change, and he even hung a cheap smile. He made an effort to take a look at the bottom of Qing Yun’s skirt, and strained his voice to ridicule: “Surprisingly……it’s white, I thought……you like……black lace……”
Looking at the actions of the man beneath his feet, Qing Yun finally turned cold, and he spoke, “Black lace is better left for you to wear.”
It was no longer disguised. The crisp, clean male voice sounded, matching Qing Yun’s current somewhat seductive and even cute face, and it was indescribably strange.
Ning Qianyuan immediately opened his eyes wide and stretched out his hand to point at Qing Yun, unable to speak properly. “You, you, you, are a man?!”
The beauty who has been seducing and flirting with him for so many days and was so close to having sex with him is actually a man? He just looked under a man’s skirt?
Responding to him, Ning Qianyuan was kicked directly off the overpass by Qing Yun. As he fell, he roared out in mid-air, “F-ck! My first love!”
“Cut!” The director’s voice finally sounded, and over there, Ning Qianyuan was also hoisted safely to the ground.
The director looked at the scene in front of him repeatedly with great satisfaction. The clash between the two was exactly the effect he wanted. He flipped back to the scene where Ning Qianyuan found out that Qing Yun was a man and couldn’t help but cover his mouth and let out a perverted laugh.
I wonder how viewers will react when this episode airs and they watch Qing Yun reveal his real voice?
After a few more scenes, the crew called it a day when the night fell.
Qing Yun went to change his clothes, and a certain man followed him in again with familiarity. This time, although Ning Qianyuan was nervous, he did not hesitate and directly embraced Qing Yun.
“Can you……” Despite the difficulty of enduring while filming, Ning Qianyuan had absolutely no guts to do anything else. Instead, he asked in a low voice, “Can you tell me before you go? Otherwise, I’m afraid that you will suddenly not want me. ”
It was only now that Ning Qianyuan had spoken his heart entirely out to Qing Yun.
He was truly afraid that Qing Yun didn’t want him, so much so that the arm holding Qing Yun was trembling a little.
From the very beginning, when he first saw Qing Yun, the panic that seemed to be engraved in his bones made Ning Qianyuan feel overwhelmed. He didn’t know how to face this kind of emotion, so he subconsciously covered it up, and the more he spoke, the more mistakes he made.
Ning Qianyuan knew that he had a bad personality. When facing other people, he could pretend even if he relied on his unparalleled acting skills. Still, when facing Qing Yun, he couldn’t disguise it and could only make the most clumsy cover-ups.
“Did I ever want you?” Qing Yun turned his head to look at him. A pair of eyes that seemed devoid of any emotion looked straight into Ning Qianyuan’s eyes.
Because of his words, Ning Qianyuan subconsciously hugged Qing Yun tighter as if to embed the person in his arms entirely into his body. His arms shook even more.
He held Qing Yun vigorously, but his face was blank as if Qing Yun’s words had shattered the meaning of his existence.
“If I say I don’t want you, will you stop following me?” Qing Yun completely turned around and looked at him quietly.
“No! No, no……you have to give me the right to pursue you……I……” Ning Qianyuan subconsciously denied. He could not bear Qing Yun’s rejection, let alone give up on him, and watch him go from there to a place beyond his reach.
This was the answer given from the depths of his soul, not just for this lifetime, but for eternity.
Looking at the man who was trembling with panic, Qing Yun finally reached out and gently wrapped his arms around him: “Stupid, isn’t that it? And……I didn’t say I didn’t want you.”
Tremendous joy suddenly flooded into Ning Qianyuan’s heart, making him unable to resist tightening his grip on the young man in his arms and rubbing against his neck without a care in the world. “You agreed to me? You promise me that, right?”
Li Qing and He Lan, who came to pick them up, stood outside the poorly soundproofed changing room and looked into the air. They looked at each other, speechless.
Can’t you find a safer place to confess your love?
