- Chapter 62 - Starting a Long-Distance Relationship
As Shen Yunxing was about to fall asleep, clutching the toy, he felt a finger poke him from behind. Then he heard a crisp male voice, tinged with some nervousness, asking, “Excuse me, are you Shen Yunxing, the actor playing Xu Fei?”
The voice was clear and pleasant, like a clear spring, clean and refreshing.
Shen Yunxing instantly felt favorable towards him, and his impression grew even better upon seeing the owner of the voice.
“Yes,” he replied with a smile.
The young man’s eyes widened slightly, his voice full of surprise. “It’s really you! I’ve seen the drama you acted in, and you were excellent! Oh, I forgot to introduce myself. I’m Ke Tong, and I play Lin Yuqing in *Drunk Watching the Wind Brush the Sleeve*.”
He’s also from *Drunk Watching the Wind Brush the Sleeve*?
Shen Yunxing was taken aback and somewhat embarrassed. “Sorry, I didn’t know you were in this production as well.”
Ke Tong waved his hand quickly. “It’s okay. I’m actually new to the industry, and this is my first drama, so not knowing is normal.”
“By the way, I’m also from Yunxi.” He added with a smile.
“Really? What a coincidence,” Shen Yunxing said, surprised.
“Not just me; the male lead is also from our school.”
Shen Yunxing was stunned. “The male lead is also?”
It seemed too coincidental and somewhat strange. Director Zheng had never officially announced the cast, so how did he know Shen Yunxing was in the same production and who the male lead was?
“Yes,” Ke Tong said, giving him a playful wink. “It’s internal information, so don’t tell anyone, okay?”
Shen Yunxing nodded, and they exchanged a smile.
“You must be a freshman. Should I call you junior or senior?” Ke Tong said half-jokingly.
“Just call me Yunxing. Save the ‘senior’ for when I become an award-winning actor,” Shen Yunxing replied, joking along.
The two laughed together.
“By the way, have you finished reading the script?” Ke Tong asked.
“Almost. How about you?” Shen Yunxing responded.
Secretary Yang, seeing them chatting animatedly, took the initiative to switch seats with Ke Tong to facilitate their conversation.
“Thank you,” Ke Tong said with a smile.
“You’re welcome.”
“Your character, Song Chenyu, is my junior. If I remember correctly, I’m the one who poisons you in the end…”
Shen Yunxing made a pained expression. “Yes.”
They continued discussing the script until the plane landed, still feeling a bit unfinished.
“Yunxing, how are you getting to your destination? Is someone coming to pick you up?” Ke Tong asked.
Shen Yunxing nodded. “Someone will be here soon.”
“Alright, then I’ll head out first. See you at the hotel.”
“Okay.”
“Have you turned on your phone? Don’t forget to call the boss to let him know you’ve arrived safely,” Secretary Yang, noticing the lively conversation and forgetting to mention the boss, reminded him.
“I’ll call him now,” Shen Yunxing said as he turned on his phone.
Secretary Yang’s concern was unwarranted; Shen Yunxing had not forgotten.
“Mr. Fu!” When the call connected, Shen Yunxing’s demeanor changed entirely. His eyes were bright, and he looked energetic and cheerful.
Hearing the boy’s clear, cheerful voice, Fu Tingzhou’s furrowed brow slowly relaxed.
“Mm, you’ve arrived? Has the baby been troublesome?”
“Yes, we’ve arrived. The baby has been very well-behaved, sleeping quietly the whole way and not causing any trouble.” Shen Yunxing paused before adding with some dissatisfaction, “Mr. Fu, you only care about the baby and not about me.”
On the other end, Fu Tingzhou chuckled softly, his tone filled with tenderness and affection.
“My fault. Is our baby feeling unwell anywhere?”
Shen Yunxing was immediately comforted by the man’s words. He poked the cheek of the toy he was holding and smiled as he said, “No, both the baby and I are doing well. Mr. Fu doesn’t need to worry.”
“Good. Rest well when you get to the hotel, and if you need anything, just find Secretary Yang.”
“Okay. Mr. Fu, you also need to rest well. Remember to eat on time and not stay up late.”
“Got it.”
After hanging up, he held onto the “Mr. Fu” toy all the way to the hotel, with a smile that never faded.
…
The first day was the actors’ meet-and-greet. After everyone had rested, they gathered in the restaurant at noon. However, when Director Zheng and a few screenwriters arrived, the male lead still hadn’t shown up, causing some discontent.
“Who is this male lead? Making Director Zheng wait for him, he’s got quite an attitude.”
“I heard his name is Qiao Shiyu, who debuted three years ago.”
“Qiao Shiyu? From Yunxi? That makes sense. His family is wealthy, and his backer is quite influential in the industry. Even Director Zheng wouldn’t dare offend him easily.”
“He may have a wealthy backer, but he seems pretty low-key. He’s never been involved in scandal or brought any funding into the production.”
“No scandals? I remember there was once a hot search where he was accused of deceiving a young man’s feelings, and that young man almost jumped off a building.”
“What? The young man was just infatuated and made up the story himself. If Qiao Shiyu hadn’t risked his life to save him, that high building would have turned him into a pancake. His brains would be splattered everywhere.”
“Ugh, stop it. We’re about to eat. Can you not be so disgusting!”
Shen Yunxing listened quietly and was about to ask Ke Tong if he knew about this when he noticed Ke Tong was trembling and looking very pale.
“Ke Tong, are you okay?” he asked with concern.
“No, I’m fine. I’m just not used to so many people,” Ke Tong said, forcing a faint smile.
But the moment Qiao Shiyu walked in, that faint smile disappeared.
“Sorry, I was delayed by a minor accident on the road.”
Qiao Shiyu’s voice sounded somewhat cold, and he looked aloof, with a frown and pursed lips, giving off a difficult-to-approach vibe.
Director Zheng, who was initially quite angry, saw the bandage on Qiao Shiyu’s forehead and didn’t say anything harsh. He simply expressed some concern and then moved on to the main topic.
“Order whatever you want. From tomorrow, it won’t be so easy,” Director Zheng said with a smile after everyone introduced themselves. “You can think of this meal as *The Last Supper*.”
Considering Director Zheng’s reputation for strictness, everyone ate with great enthusiasm, as if they were determined to bankrupt him with their appetite.
In the end, Director Zheng didn’t go bankrupt, but they were all stuffed to the brim.
The group walked around the hotel lobby wearing masks and hats to digest their meal and almost got mistaken for robbers by security.
Shen Yunxing was not among them. He only learned about the incident the next morning through Ke Tong.
“Secretary Yang, could you pass me some wet wipes?” he said, rubbing his eyes in the lounge.
“If something gets into your eye, don’t rub it. You can close your eyes for a while. If that doesn’t work, gently pull up your upper eyelid, and the foreign object will be flushed out with your tears.”
Qiao Shiyu? Shen Yunxing was taken aback and squinted at the person in front of him, who had a stiff smile and no visible expression on his face.
Although he looked somewhat unapproachable, he didn’t seem unpleasant.
“Thank you,” Shen Yunxing said as he took the wet wipes.
Following Qiao Shiyu’s advice, a few tears did the trick, and his eyes felt better.
He smiled again to thank the person.
“You’re welcome.” The other person shook his head. His voice was still extremely cold, and Shen Yunxing couldn’t imagine what he was like in a romantic scene.
Qiao Shiyu, being the male lead, had his own lounge. He didn’t stay there long before leaving.
Shen Yunxing found it strange that this lounge wasn’t on his way to his own lounge. It seemed like Qiao Shiyu had come specifically to this lounge, but it was only being used by him and Ke Tong.
He threw the wet wipes into the trash can and wondered: Could Qiao Shiyu have come to see Ke Tong?
Just as he was thinking this, Secretary Yang came in with breakfast.
“Hotel breakfast isn’t very nutritious. I had someone buy a few things from a store. Come and eat them.”
“Thank you, Secretary Yang.”
“Don’t mention it. My job is to take good care of you,” Secretary Yang said with a smile. “The boss picked out two assistants for you. Take a look later, and if you’re satisfied, you can keep them with you.”
“I don’t need them, really,” Shen Yunxing said awkwardly. “I’m just a small actor starting out. The male lead only has one assistant with him, so it wouldn’t look right for me, a newcomer, to have three.”
“You need them. Your situation is special right now. If I’m unavailable and something happens, the boss will be furious with me,” Secretary Yang exaggerated. Indeed, the little wife immediately laughed upon hearing this.
“Haha, Mr. Fu isn’t as scary as you make him out to be, Secretary Yang,” Shen Yunxing said, rubbing the cheek of the toy beside him, which he was using as a makeup companion.
The makeup artist, whom Secretary Yang had arranged, was trustworthy, but she was just a makeup artist and wasn’t aware that the boy she was talking to was the boss’s spouse. So when they discussed Mr. Fu, she appeared calm, though inside she was a bundle of nerves.
So this is the legendary little wife!
So young and so good-looking.
No wonder the boss, despite being thirty, still isn’t married. He likes young men!
Great, I’ve got writing material for today (* ̄︶ ̄)~
Pen name: Teacher Cola, a makeup artist passionate about producing sweet content online. Her smile was gradually turning into something manic.
After breakfast and makeup were done, Shen Yunxing, already very slender from carrying the baby, looked even more delicate after the makeup artist’s touch. He still looked beautiful, like a frail and attractive young man, making people want to protect him.
“Wow, Yunxing, your makeup looks amazing!” Ke Tong exclaimed when he entered and saw Shen Yunxing’s look. “You make the female lead look somewhat out of touch with reality.”
“It’s not that exaggerated,” Shen Yunxing laughed and added, thinking of Qiao Shiyu, “Qiao Shiyu looks very handsome and fits the male lead’s image quite well.”
In the novel *Drunkenly Watching the Wind Brush the Sleeves*, the male lead is portrayed as someone who is so aloof he looks down on everything. In this respect, Qiao Shiyu is quite similar to the character.
“In some ways, Qiao Shiyu is indeed fitting the role,” Ke Tong agreed with a smile.
…
On the first day, there were fewer scenes. Director Zheng knew Shen Yunxing’s situation and only scheduled two scenes for him, allowing him to rest afterwards. But by the end of the day, it was already dark.
Back at the hotel, Shen Yunxing lay on his bed and sent Mr. Fu a few photos of himself acting, and shared about the new friends he’d made. But before he could finish typing, he received a video call from Mr. Fu.
When he answered, he saw Mr. Fu still in the office and couldn’t help but frown. “It’s already seven. Mr. Fu, why are you still working? Have you had dinner?”
Mr. Fu smiled. “I’ve eaten. There’s an urgent matter I need to handle. I should be done in about half an hour.”
Seeing that Mr. Fu had eaten on time reassured Shen Yunxing.
“Ding—”
A notification pinged on his phone. It was a Weibo update.
He glanced at it and his eyes lit up.
Teacher Cola has updated!
“Mr. Fu, Director Zheng is calling for me. I’ll talk to you when you’re home. I’m hanging up now!”
Before Mr. Fu could respond, Shen Yunxing had already ended the call.
Mr. Fu shook his head and smiled, looking at the photos Shen Yunxing had sent before saving them and returning to work.
Meanwhile, Shen Yunxing slid out of WeChat, used a secondary account to give Teacher Cola a shout-out on Weibo, and then went to “Heart Power.”
“Heart Power” is a creative app where many authors post articles with a bit of color.
He initially read normal novels, but once he came across Teacher Cola’s fan fiction about himself and Mr. Fu, he was opened up to a whole new world.
Last time, Teacher Cola wrote a school role-play where Mr. Fu was the teacher, and he was the student. On a moonless night, in a deserted teacher’s dormitory, they were “tutoring”…
He wondered what Teacher Cola had written this time.
His cheeks reddened as he thought about it.
After topping up the “Heart Power” app, he eagerly began to read.
The title of Teacher Cola’s latest work was quite normal, titled *”A Toast to Respect.”*
Shen Yunxing had always thought the second character was pronounced with the first tone, but after reading the entire article, he realized it was pronounced with the fourth tone!
He knew it—someone like Teacher Cola, whose writing was always filled with color, could never be straightforward!
But what is ABO? People aren’t animals, so why would there be a heat period?
Never mind. The story was written with such excitement that he was completely immersed.
After finishing the article, his face wasn’t the only thing blushing; his neck had also turned a shade of red. He went to the windowsill to get some fresh air. When the heat finally subsided, he dared to message Mr. Fu.
**[Yun and the Stars Both Like You]**: Mr. Fu, are you home yet?
After waiting about two minutes, he received a reply, which was a voice message.
“Ten more minutes.”
“Then focus on driving, no need to reply. We can talk when you get home,” he replied.
After sending the message, he waited for Mr. Fu while browsing Teacher Cola’s Weibo with his secondary account.
He and Mr. Fu had only been in the same frame twice. Once was in a broadcasted drama where Mr. Fu only appeared as a blurry figure. The second time was on set, where someone happened to capture a shot of him and Mr. Fu together. At that time, Mr. Fu was talking to someone, and Shen Yunxing was standing about three meters away.
Whether it was because the person who took the photo was skilled or simply the reality, the photo captured Mr. Fu’s gaze falling directly on him.
Later, the person who took the photo thought it was nice and posted it on Weibo.
At the time, it didn’t attract much attention, but when the drama became popular, the photo resurfaced.
Subsequently, fans of the CP started appearing.
A few months passed, and while the scale of their fan base wasn’t huge, it wasn’t small either. The CP super topic already had tens of thousands of followers, including several influential creators. Teacher Cola was one of them.
However, Teacher Cola was quite low-key and rarely posted in the super topic, except for her work.
Shen Yunxing had discovered this divine author by chance.
He clicked into Teacher Cola’s Weibo and saw that the latest post had already received 99+ comments, and his comment, “Great, I like it [Tongue][Tongue],” was the most liked one.
But! What was with the emoji sequence following it?
He clearly posted a [Thumbs Up]!
