ATAMMDO 73

Chapter 73- I Have Bad Breath

 

November ran over in a flash, and it was December in a blink of an eye.

 

Both sides of the street were piled with fallen yellow leaves, which were swept away by the sanitation workers who showed up early in the morning. There were only a few pedestrians on the empty street, and their short sleeves were replaced with coats.

 

It was already daytime at this time, but the sky was still gray and white. Before the sun was seen, the sky began to drizzle, and it continued to fall until four or five in the afternoon. The sky was as dark as night, except for the flickering lights on the side of the road.

 

Against the cold night wind, the character played by Jiang Liucheng stood on the eaves of a roof, and the black shadow immediately wrestled together his figure.

 

The rain is getting heavier.

 

The bean-sized raindrops still hurt a little bit when they hit a person’s face, but the two of them didn’t feel it at all in the rain and punched each other’s bodies one after another.

 

When one of them was knocked down, there was a sudden click outside the camera.

 

Director Liu stopped shouting, and the two of them also stopped.

 

The assistant immediately took out the big towel that had been prepared earlier and wrapped it around Jiang Liucheng. He then handed him another cup of hot water with white smoke. “Take a sip quickly, so you won’t catch a cold.”

 

Jiang Liucheng took a big sip. He didn’t care about the slight pain in his throat from being scalded. After this mouthful of hot water, his body, which was still a little cold just now, suddenly felt a lot warmer.

 

After drinking the water and wiping off the water stains on his body, Jiang Liucheng came to Director Liu.

 

Director Liu was looking at the shot just now, and when he saw him coming, he said: “This shot is fine. I will make up for other shots later. There are three left, and it will be fine after finishing up, okay?”

 

“Well, it is not a problem.” Jiang Liucheng said.

 

Director Liu is a casual person. Although the script has already been written, he will add this part of the plot as long as he thinks of a better plot. However, to avoid delaying the progress, they have been shooting according to the normal process. When he is done, he must go back and reshoot those re-added shots.

 

Now the most difficult shot has passed, and the remaining three shots no longer need artificial rainfall.

 

It was already very cold, but the temperature dropped again today when the filming started. It became even colder after being drenched in water.

 

Assistants are afraid that their artists will get sick.

 

By the time the last scene was filmed, it was already past eight o’clock in the evening.

 

Because it was a supplementary filming scene, everyone hadn’t realized it yet. It wasn’t until Director Liu called out that the male lead was finished, and everyone finally came back to their senses.

 

The male lead has finished filming!

 

They were happy for a second, and they reacted again.

 

Oh, it seems that they haven’t had a holiday yet, but the male lead has finished filming, and there are still a few roles that haven’t been fully filmed yet.

 

“Congratulations, Mr. Jiang for finishing your last scene.”

 

A group of actors and staff came to congratulate Jiang Liucheng. At first, they were quite worried. Some people worry that he is not easy to get along with, but after only getting along for a few days, the estrangement disappears in an instant.

 

In less than a month, Jiang Liucheng got along with them, and now that it’s over, there are still people who don’t want to give up. It’s really rare to meet a big-name actor who is very popular but doesn’t lose his temper.

 

“Mr. Jiang, let’s film together again when we have a chance.” Some young actors said to Jiang Liucheng cheekily.

 

Jiang Liucheng is still a bit unaccustomed to the title of Mr. Jiang. Someone called him Mr. Jiang when the filming was halfway through, and more and more people called him after that. Now almost the entire crew has been calling him that for two months. He’s not used to it, either.

 

“Okay.” He said softly.

 

After a while, the actors around Jiang Liucheng finally walked away. Director Liu came over with a red envelope and stuffed it into his hand.

 

“Here is your red envelope for finishing the film.”

 

Jiang Liucheng felt that the red envelope in his hand was a bit thick, “Why are you giving so much?”

 

Director Liu said with a smile: “The filming of this drama is progressing well, and the filming is finished faster than I expected. Everyone has worked hard, and the investors are also generous.”

 

“Director, do we have such a big red envelope too?” The people around who hadn’t left yet heard this and asked quickly.

 

“I don’t think there are such big ones, but red envelopes are definitely indispensable.” Director Liu said with a smile.

 

“Long live the director!” The male lead has finished wrapping up, and there must be a wrap-up banquet. But since it is already relatively late, Director Liu has set the wrap-up banquet for tomorrow night and will give everyone a day off tomorrow.

 

Jiang Liucheng returned to the nanny’s car, and his assistant immediately took out a new set of clothes from the bag and handed it to him. Be then closed the door to block the view from the outside.

 

Jiang Liucheng took his clothes and went to the back of the nanny’s car. He was about to close the curtains when a hand stretched out from behind him and closed the curtains first.

 

The man was wearing a peaked cap and was sitting in the corner between the seat and the car. Due to the dim light inside the car, Jiang Liucheng, whose back was turned to him, didn’t notice it at first.

 

“When did you come? Why didn’t you tell me when you came?” Upon seeing the man, Jiang Liucheng was surprised.

 

“Of course, I want to come if you are wrapping up today.” Qin Lu took off the hat on his head, revealing a handsome face, the lines of which became deeper and deeper under the dim light.

 

After Qin Lu finished speaking, he saw that he was covered with moisture. He frowned and said, “Hurry up and change away from your wet clothes.”

 

Jiang Liucheng put his dry clothes on the seat beside him and began to take off his wet clothes on his body.

 

Wet clothes are props for filming. When the last scene was filmed, the background was also winter, so he wore thicker clothes. It was still raining at the time and his clothes became heavier after absorbing the water. Although the rain was not very heavy, it was still cold while wearing it.

 

Fortunately, there was heating in the car. After taking off his jacket, Jiang Liucheng picked up a dry towel beside him and wiped off the water on his body.

 

After wiping, he suddenly felt something was wrong. When he raised his head, he saw Qin Lu staring straight at his body.

 

Jiang Liucheng followed his line of sight and saw his bare chest. He didn’t care much about it at first, but he felt a little uncomfortable when he saw it, so he picked up a towel to block it.

 

“What’s so interesting about this?”

 

Qin Lu couldn’t see his blushing clearly, but seeing the embarrassment on his face, he couldn’t help but said with a smile: “Other men have nothing to look at, including myself, but my sweetheart must be different, yes.”

 

Jiang Liucheng blinked his eyes and said, “I think yours looks better.”

 

His eyes moved to Qin Lu’s upper body. The man was dressed very low-key today. He was wearing a khaki windbreaker outside and a  black shirt. When sitting, two rows of his abdominal muscles can be vaguely seen through his shirt.

 

“Better than mine. I also exercised before filming. After filming, I have no time. My abdominal muscles are almost gone.”

 

He touched his only thin layer of abdominal muscles, always feeling that too much work would reduce his quality of life.

 

After finishing speaking, he looked at Qin Lu’s abdominal muscles enviously and even stretched out his hand to touch them, “As I thought, your abdominal muscles are so obvious. I discovered it when I was filming with you before. You obviously have a lot of time to exercise. “

 

Qin Lu didn’t feel very hot at first, but after being touched randomly by him, he suddenly felt that the car was extremely hot. He tilted his head and said patiently: “If you continue to touch me like this, I don’t guarantee that it will not be hot in the future. What are you doing out of the ordinary?”

 

Jiang Liucheng, who was about to touch him again: “? “

 

“For example…” Qin Lu pulled him onto his body and put his broad palm on his stomach.

 

Jiang Liucheng was about to stand up but was pushed back by Qin Lu’s strength and quickly said: “My Pants are wet and will wet your clothes. 

 

Qin Lu’s voice was slightly hoarse: “It’s okay. You’re going to take off your pants anyway.” 

 

Jiang Liucheng said: “Then I will take it off now so as not to make your clothes wetter.” 

 

Qin Lu imagined a young boy sitting on his lap wearing only a pair of underwear and suddenly he couldn’t stand it any longer. He quickly put on a top for him and suddenly thought of something to ask: “Did you do this with your roommate when you were in college?” 

 

The young man didn’t answer. 

 

He imagined the scene at that time and immediately drank a catty of adult vinegar.

 

Jiang Liucheng cooperatively put his hand into the sleeve of his jacket, poked his head out, and said, “Are you talking about taking off your clothes or sitting on my roommate’s lap?”

 

Qin Lu was about to laugh when he heard that there were still two options that came of his question. “All of them.”

 

Jiang Liucheng put on his shirt and began to take off the wet pants that were attached to his body, “There must be something to do when you take off your clothes. Sometimes everyone goes to play basketball and comes back sweaty, especially in summer. Usually, I can’t stand it anymore, so I take off my shirt. As for sitting on my roommate’s lap, I’ve never done it before, but Guo Qifan sat on my lap.”

 

Qin Lu’s voice rose suddenly: “Why did he sit on your lap? “

 

Jiang Liucheng explained: “Guo Qifan is just like this. He even sat on Qiao Mei’s lap. Sometimes when he said something interesting, he would make some jokes and sit on our laps to prove a point.” 

 

“It’s a joke, but I feel a little uncomfortable. Don’t let him sit on your lap anymore.”

 

Jiang Liucheng nodded: “He hadn’t done it since graduating from the university. Everyone is very busy every day, and the number of times we see each other has decreased.”

 

Qin Lu was afraid that Jiang Liucheng would catch a cold. So, in the end, Qin Lu didn’t do anything. He simply waited for him to change his clothes.

 

The two then returned to the hotel in the nanny’s car.

 

Since Qin Lu announced his retirement, it has not been as easy as outsiders imagined. Because he has to take over the family business, he has become even busier.

 

For more than two months, the two of them had to sneak in to meet each other.

 

Some time ago, Qin Lu knew that Jiang Liucheng was about to wrap up his filming, so he deliberately finished his work for the next few days in advance, just to spare a few days to spend with him.

 

Jiang Liucheng took Qin Lu back to his room, and his assistant came in to put the things away. He then helped them close the curtains before leaving.

 

“The film crew will hold a wrap-up banquet tomorrow, and I have to stay another day. You can sleep in the same room as me tonight. I’ll take a hot bath first.”

 

“Okay.”

 

Qin Lu waited for Jiang Liucheng to finish his hot bath. When he came out, he heard Qin Lu talking on the phone with someone else.

 

“It’s still more than a month before Chinese New Year. Is there any need to be so anxious? I haven’t asked his opinion yet.”

 

“Alright, all right. I’ll ask as soon as possible. Don’t worry about my affairs.”

 

Qin Lu hung up the phone and turned around. Upon seeing that Jiang Liucheng had already came out after washing and changing into pajamas, his already long hair was sticking to his face wetly, and the tips of his hair were dripping with water. So Qin Lu picked up the dry towel on the chair, sat on the side of the bed and said, “Come here, and I’ll brush your hair.”

 

Jiang Liucheng lifted a chair and placed it in front of him. He then sat down facing him.

 

Qin Lu put the towel on his head, rubbed it, and said, “The call just now was from my mother. She already knows that I am in a relationship.”

 

Jiang Liucheng raised his head. His eyes were covered by the towel, but Qin Lu straightened his head back, “Then does she know that the person you are dating is a man?”

 

“Of course. She called me not long after I announced my withdrawal from the circle, and I told her directly, and she ignored me for a month and a half.” It’s impossible for Qin Lu to leave this kind of trouble for later, let alone let this kind of thing become a hidden danger between him and the young man.

 

Jiang Liucheng was a little surprised, “You never told me about this before. Does your mother disagree with us being together?”

 

Qin Lu said: “She knew I was serious, and it was impossible to compromise. That is why she had learned to accept it. Now, she wants me to find a time to take you to meet her.”

 

Jiang Liucheng said: “Okay. Although marriage is a matter between two people, it will be good for both parties if they can get the approval of their parents. However, my agent stated that I’ve received two endorsements, and I won’t be free until I’m done filming it. Don’t worry. I’ll be able to finish it after a few days.”

 

The two jobs were negotiated beforehand, and the time was set already.

 

He had already told Li Qiu before that he didn’t want to take on too many jobs, especially now that the Chinese New Year was approaching. He wanted to rest for a while and continue working after the New Year.

 

Although Li Qiu disagreed, he couldn’t change his decision.

 

Fortunately, the company’s positioning for him is not traffic. Since he wants to be a powerful faction and will focus on acting in the future, he doesn’t need too much exposure like a traffic star.

 

After drying his hair, Jiang Liucheng also urged Qin Lu to take a bath. When he finished washing, he had already warmed up the bed.

 

“Come on, it’s very warm now.” Jiang Liucheng lifted the quilt and waved at him. He was wearing short-sleeved pajamas underneath.

 

Qin Lu’s throat rolled involuntarily, and then he laid down on the open quilt, which was really warm. He looked at the young man, who looked like a little sheep, completely unaware that he had recruited a big bad wolf.

 

In the end, the big bad wolf couldn’t hold back and pressed the little sheep under his body. He rubbed the tip of his nose against his. Suddenly, he smelled a fresh smell, which seemed to come from the young man’s mouth. He tasted it. 

 

After a while, Qin Lu found that it was a mint scent.

 

It took some time until their lips got separated from each other.

 

Qin Lu licked the saliva off his lips, “Why did you eat mints all of a sudden?”

 

Jiang Liucheng said frankly, “Kissing will taste better this way, lest I have bad breath.”

 

Qin Lu buried his face against his neck. He laughed until his body was trembling. After laughing, he said, “You don’t have bad breath. I know that best.” 

 

“Then let’s try again?”

 

At this time, there was a sound of footsteps in the corridor outside. After that is a voice of a group of people whispering, which was amplified several times in the dark night.

 

As a result, Qin Lu lifted the quilt to cover the two of them and their voices.
