Your Rival in Love Gets Prettier Every Day

Chapter 126: Contest

Yan Qiuchi went back upstairs after eating. Strong winds were blowing outside as raindrops fell, slamming against the window. He took a shower and laid on the bed. The more he read the screenshots from Shen JIntai, the more uncomfortable he felt.

The person he likes was an actor. He should support Shen Jintai's in any of his endeavors. While he understood the reasons, it still bothered him seeing Shen Jintai doing these kinds of scenes. Perhaps the news hit him too suddenly as he always thought it was simply going to be kissing scenes.

He was especially surprised by Bai Qingquan, who followed the fairy route since his debut, and did not expect him to sacrifice so much just for this movie.

He called Zhang Yuan and asked: "Bai Qingquan's new movie has a lot of passionate scenes, did you know?"

Zhang Yuan said: "...I know. Qian Wei* reported to me yesterday."

*Clarity: so apparently Qian Wei is Wei Ge's full name. I originally thought Ge was his first name, but it turns out they and the author refer to him as Brother Wei. I'll still stick to calling him Wei Ge but know that his name is actually Qian Wei. Similarly Xiao Tang is referring to Little Tang as Xiao is not his surname.

Yan Qiuchi: "You all agree?"

Zhang Yuan said: "Qian Wei and the others have agreed. I have always believed in their vision. They are willing to make such a big concession so they must have fully considered it, but if you're not satisfied President Yan..."

Yan Qiuchi: "No, I was just a little surprised, so I called to ask."

Zhang Yuan: "...Oh..."

"I'm hanging up now." Yan Qiuchi hung up the phone then threw it on the bed, planning to go to sleep. He turned off the lights and laid down. The sound of the rain was loud, and he couldn't fall asleep because he was too unsettled.

If the drama was going to be on this kind of scale, are the kissing scenes simply just a taste? He himself had kissed Shen Jintai twice, lips to lips. Was Shen Jintai's lips going to be touched by another man? Even if that man was a so-called sister like Bai Qingquan, he was afraid it wasn't a matter of just kissing but perhaps other places will be kissed as well. He didn't know to what extent their passionate scene will be filmed.

They won't be completely naked, will they?

He kept trying to comfort himself saying that it was all acting and he should look at the matter more rationally.

The rain outside was getting heavier. Mrs. Yan has told the maid to close all the windows and went upstairs. She suddenly saw the light of a car coming from outside, surprising her. She said to the maid: "Is the sir back?"

"He said he won't be back tonight." Mrs. Yan was about to go out to see, when she saw Yan Qiuchi hurriedly descending the stairs in a thick coat.

Mrs. Yan: "It's raining so hard, and you still want to go out?"

Yan Qiuchi said: "Nn. Something's wrong."

As he opened the door, the strong wind swept across his face splattering rain all over it. Xiao Li had already gotten out of the car and quickly ran over with an umbrella. Mrs. Yan walked to the door feeling the chill of the rainy autumn night. She hid half her body behind the door, only sticking her head out as she watched Yan Qiuchi get into the car. She shouted: "Xiao Li, drive slowly on the road."

Xiao Li bowed to her, then put away his umbrella and got into the car. The rain was heavy covering the light from the car. Raindrops fell endlessly flooding the ground with stagnant water. Despite having Xiao Li help him with an umbrella, Yan Qiuchi's coat was still soaked. He took off his coat and said: "Go to Chaoyang hotel."
