Chapter 79 – Daily Life

 

Thanks to Fu Yanchuan’s strong financial support, the animation was finally synthesized and edited in the midsummer of another year, and the entire film maintained an excellent standard.

 

On the day the film was finished, Cheng Shu took everyone to watch the real “premiere” in the studio’s audio-visual room. After the two-hour movie ended, there was silence in the room for half a minute, and then applause from hundreds of people broke out. Some people couldn’t help but brag about themselves.

 

“Fuck! I think we are so awesome! How can we produce such an awesome work?!”

 

“Masyer Qi Xi’s painting style is so amazing! Damn, no matter how many times I see it, I can only describe it as awesome!”

 

“Yes, this cool and shocking style is unique at present. I am sure that this style will be praised all the way to the sky!”

 

Qi Xi isn’t used to getting praised. So he could only look around awkwardly, “I’m not that great. If you keep praising me, I’ll be proud!”

 

“Be proud! We are praising you to make you proud! Right, Director Cheng?”

 

“I told you to praise Director Cheng too. He looks like he’s about to cry!”

 

Cheng Shu was really moved. When he first found Qi Xi, he really wanted to give it a try. Unexpectedly, he had picked up a treasure. Qi Xi’s talent was not limited to painting. His expressiveness in animation was beyond his expectations. What he didn’t expect the most was Qi Xi’s pure craftsmanship. When he picked up the paintbrush, he completely put everything aside and only thought about how to paint well.

 

In addition to Qi Xi himself, there is also Fu Yanchuan. Even though he often talks about dreams and pursuits, he still has to eat in the real world. In the end, he can do everything to the best of his ability regardless of the cost, and do everything according to his original ideas without catering to any party. This is based on the fact that Fu Yanchuan’s investment did not put them under pressure to make profits.

 

This is also because of Qi Xi’s existence. Fu Yanchuan’s investment is just to allow Qi Xi to freely paint what he wants to paint, so that Qi Xi’s paintings can be best displayed.

 

The result was just as Fu Yanchuan expected. He was sure that Qi Xi would become famous after the film was released.

 

Thinking of this, Cheng Shu suddenly stood in front of Qi Xi and said seriously: “Qi Xi, thank you for giving me the opportunity to complete my work purely like this.”

 

Qi Xi still didn’t know that Fu Yanchuan had invested money in them. Seeing Cheng Shu suddenly become so formal, he stood up nervously and said, “Director Cheng, I just did my job. You taught me a lot. I should thank you for giving me this opportunity.”

 

Cheng Shu smiled softly, “In that case, if you are satisfied with this cooperation, can we arrange for the next one?”

 

“No problem at all!”

 

Qi Xi readily agreed. Cheng Shu was afraid that he might regret it, so he immediately shook his hand and said, “It’s a deal then. You can’t refuse me then.”

 

“Well, I am trustworthy.”

 

Qi Xi didn’t know that half of Cheng Shu’s plan was for Fu Yanchuan’s investment, so he patted his chest and made the promise.

 

Cheng Shu would not say it out loud. He already knew that as long as he could have a deal with Qi Xi, he would also have a deal with Fu Yanchuan.

 

Now that the animation is complete, all that remains is the review. Once it passes, it can be announced and scheduled.

 

Qi Xi experienced this for the first time, and asked Cheng Shu expectantly, “Director Cheng, when will it be released? I want to go see it!”

 

Cheng Shu sighed, “It depends on the time of the review. If there are no problems, it should be released during the National Day. If not, it can only be released during the Spring Festival.”

 

“Does it take so long? What do they need to review? Why are there problems?”

 

Cheng Shu had a hard time explaining the various rules and unspoken rules here to Qi Xi, so he just said: “Some movies have been censored for several years and are not allowed to be released. They watch it until the end slide. The complete project often fails to pass the review in unexpected places. In short, it is difficult to say for sure, especially for animations that are aimed at children and minors.”

 

Qi Xi nodded as if he understood. Cheng Shu saw that he was disappointed and comforted him, “Don’t worry, our positive work will definitely be approved soon!”

 

“Never mind that for now!”

 

Huang Shilin suddenly interrupted, “On such a happy day, think about the good things! I have already reserved a seat, it’s okay anyway, let’s go now!”

 

After the animation was finished, the project was about to invite them to dinner. Qi Xi quickly said, “You go first, I’ll go pick up Fu Yanchuan.”

 

The people in the studio were used to treating Fu Yanchuan as one of them, but Fu Yanchuan had never attended their dinner parties. Huang Shilin asked, “Is Mr. Fu free to come?”

 

“Yes, he said this morning that he wanted to go with me, but he wanted me to pick him up!”

 

Qi Xi said as he ran out, spouting the rest of the words along the way, “You go first, we’ll be there soon!”

 

Since the studio moved here, not only Fu Yanchuan would come here often, but Qi Xi would also go to Fu Yanchuan’s office when he had nothing to do. He would walk several hundred meters there. The front desk clerk in the lobby already knew him and would let him go upstairs directly.

 

He arrived at Fu Yanchuan’s office with familiarity, the same place he had been to at the beginning. He greeted the people from the president’s office as soon as he entered the door.

 

“Is Mr. Fu in there?”

 

The person closest to him waved at him, and he leaned over. The other person whispered, “Boss Fu just got angry. Please save us.”

 

He made an “OK” gesture and rushed into Fu Yanchuan’s office.

 

Fu Yanchuan brought Qi Xi to his inauguration party, which was basically equivalent to coming out publicly. Qi Xi has been coming over frequently recently, and the entire group is aware of their relationship, which has become an open secret throughout the group.

 

Fu Yanchuan was not very satisfied with the work report submitted by the project deputy general manager. He was facing the robot-like Fu Yanchuan with trepidation, and he was relieved when he saw Qi Xi suddenly come in.

 

As expected, Fu Yanchuan said, “Go out.”

 

The deputy general manager of the project quickly glanced at Qi Xi with gratitude and left, and considerately closed the door for them.

 

Fu Yanchuan took off his glasses and pinched his nose. Qi Xi moved to his side, leaned over the table, and pushed his computer away. He then looked at him and asked, “Are you angry?”

 

He put his glasses back on, reached out his hand, and Qi Xi fell into his arms. He held him and asked, “Have you finished watching the animation? Is it good?”

 

“It’s very nice!”

 

Qi Xi described it with great excitement, “I think I’m really amazing, especially the last part, it looks even better when it’s made into an animation! How come I’m so good at drawing!”

 

Fu Yanchuan silently compared Qi Xi’s changes in his heart. The current Qi Xi was not only able to accept other people’s compliments calmly, but also recognized his own from the bottom of his heart: “Of course my Xixi is amazing.”

 

“Then let’s go watch it together when it’s released, okay?”

 

Qi Xi looked at Fu Yanchuan expectantly after asking this question because Fu Yanchuan had never had any interest in film and television works. When they watched TV together on weekdays, he was often just a background.

 

He saw it on him.

 

Fu Yanchuan stared at him for a long time and suddenly kissed him on the lips.

 

“Say I love you, and I’ll go see it.”

 

Qi Xi still thinks “I love you” is very precious, but Fu Yanchuan finds opportunities to ask him to say it, and he doesn’t respond immediately: “It’s not released yet, I’ll say it when it’s released.”

 

Fu Yanchuan didn’t get a confession, so he simply kissed him and said, “I love you, Xixi.”

 

Qi Xi quickly covered his mouth and said, “Don’t say that in the office.”

 

“Where should I then?”

 

“Not here anyway.”

 

Fu Yanchuan didn’t understand what Qi Xi was planning to do, so he took his hand off his mouth and asked him, “Now that you’ve made animations, what do you want to do in the future? Continue making animations? Or go into painting?”

 

Qi Xi hadn’t thought about this question before, but now he is thinking about it. “I want to continue making animations. In the future I want to be a director like Director Cheng, making stories that I want, and then become an animation master, so that the whole world can know me.”

 

“Well, if you like it, do it.”

 

Fu Yanchuan held Qi Xi tightly as he spoke and kissed him on the lips. He knew that one day Qi Xi would be able to become the person he wanted to be and would no longer need his help and protection.

 

He seemed to want to keep him here, squeezing Qi Xi so hard that he cried out in pain, but he kissed him harder and deeper. He then said, “Xixi, don’t go too far, rely on me a little more.”

 

Qi Xi didn’t understand what Fu Yanchuan meant. He scraped his swollen lips with his teeth. He wanted to get angry, but when he saw Fu Yanchuan’s handsome face, he immediately forgave Fu Yanchuan for bullying him and answered seriously: “I don’t want to. I want to be as powerful as you!”

 

Fu Yanchuan smiled. He knew Qi Xi would say that. He touched him restlessly and said, “Then you should improve your physical strength first. Don’t say you are tired every time.”

 

Qi Xi slapped his hands on his face, rubbed it vigorously, and said angrily: “You big pervert! That’s not what I meant!”

 

“But I’m really good at this. If you want to be as good as me, at least you should not complain of being tired halfway through.”

 

“I’m not going to tell you anymore! It’s obviously you who’s been here for too long!”

 

Qi Xi pushed Fu Yanchuan away and got off his feet. “How long will it take you to get off work? They’ve already left!”

 

Fu Yanchuan had prepared a chair for Qi Xi. He pulled the chair aside and asked Qi Xi to sit down. “Wait for me for a moment.”

 

“Then hurry up.”

 

Qi Xi was like a primary school student who went to the parents’ office to do his homework. When Fu Yanchuan turned to work, he started touching things everywhere.

 

There were photos of him and Fu Yanchuan on the corner of the table, not a couple photo, but a frame for each of them. At first, there was only his photo, but he felt too lonely alone, so he added a photo of Fu Yanchuan, which he had taken when he was watching the swans.

 

He took the two photos and fiddled with them for a long time like performing a shadow play. Suddenly, he took out his sketchbook from the drawer and started to draw the little story that had just come to his mind.

 

Fu Yanchuan didn’t know what Qi Xi was drawing. He just saw him smiling while drawing. Finally, he must have finished the drawing. He took a photo with his mobile phone and posted it online.

 

He had no habit of socializing on the Internet. The only account he registered was one specifically to follow Qi Xi. When he opened it, he saw the small cartoon that Qi Xi had just drawn.

 

Qi Xi now has more than 100,000 fans, and there will be comments when he posts.

 

[The great god has been drawing this handsome guy, is he someone you know in real life?]

 

Qi Xi didn’t think that others were just asking casually, and thought that people had found out that he was drawing Fu Yanchuan because these small cartoons were all small things between him and Fu Yanchuan, which were exaggerated according to his imagination, but he didn’t want to admit it.

 

[This is a secret, so don’t ask.]

 

So it really exists?

 

When Fu Yanchuan saw Qi Xi’s reply, he slightly curled the corners of his mouth and then replied below.

 

[Yes, it’s me. ]

 

Then Qi Xi denied it.

 

[Who are you? Don’t try to identify anyone. I don’t know you.]

 

He turned around and asked Qi Xi directly, “Don’t you know me?”

 

Qi Xi moved closer to his computer and saw his reply. He finally understood, “Is this account yours?”

 

He nodded. Qi Xi stared at him thoughtfully for two seconds. Not knowing what he was thinking, he deleted the reply saying he didn’t know him, and then followed him.

 

The netizens who were watching the fun immediately discovered something fishy. They all knew that Qi Xi was not good at lying, and when he said he didn’t know him, he definitely didn’t know him. But he deleted the commentso quickly and then followed himagain, which meant he must have confirmed it in real life.

 

So this account is really the prototype in the comics?

 

Netizens clicked on Fu Yanchuan’s account and found that it was a blank small account. He only followed Qi Xi and had not posted any updates except liking Qi Xi’s paintings.

 

Although the comics are hilarious, the two protagonists are ambiguous and sweet, and netizens are speculating that their Qixi Dad has a good friend in real life? Or a boyfriend?

 

This is just a small episode. Whether Qi Xi has a boyfriend is not news. Only a few fans are discussing it.

 

However, Fu Yanchuan was very satisfied that Qi Xi did not try to hide him, so he turned off the computer and pulled Qi Xi up.

 

“Can we go now?”

 

Qi Xi immediately hung diagonally on Fu Yanchuan’s shoulder like a bag, and Fu Yanchuan held him up with one hand.

 

Fu Yanchuan asked him, “Are you going out like this?”

 

“Who’s afraid to be seen like this? Let’s go!”

 

Qi Xi spoke very heroically, and Fu Yanchuan really carried him out with one hand. But when Fu Yanchuan opened the door, Qi Xi regretted it, “Put me down! Fu Yanchuan!”

 

“Too late.”

 

“It’s not too late, Brother Yanyan, put me down!”

 

The people near the door of Fu Yanchuan’s office only saw the scene of Fu Yanchuan putting Qi Xi down from his shoulders. Fu Yanchuan smiled with a satisfaction that they dared not even imagine what happened inside.
