Chapter 39: I just…Feel Upset on Thinking You Feel the Same Way (1)
Translator: Guy Gone Bad
Early the next morning, Yu Qinghuan went to the filming set, though he didn’t have a part today. But since he went to the Grand Theater last time, he had developed a habit of observing how others acted.
Liu Jia’an felt a little surprised at first. A young man in his early twenties should play video games or sleep in the hotel till the sunset when he didn’t shoot. No one would be so self-disciplined.
But after Yu Qinghuan had kept doing so for some time no matter what, Liu Jia’an gradually got used to it.
One day, on seeing Yu Qinghuan, he took off the cigar in his mouth and said hello to Qinghuan with a smile, “You are early Qinghuan.”
“Morning, director.” Yu Qinghuan sat next to Liu Jia’an and watched the monitor together with him.
Liu Jia’an sighed with emotion, “Your life style is completely different from other young men.
Yu Qinghuan chuckled, didn’t say a word.
“I found it’s really reasonable to hire you,” said Liu Jia’an suddenly. Looking at Yu Qinghuan’s stunned expression, he explained with a smile, “I thought you are just a diligent newcomer, and with a very reasonable price. I didn’t expect you are quite appropriate for this occupation. Let’s put aside your acting skills aside, even your hot search ability has saved me a lot of publicity expenses.”
Liu Jia’an had a habit—he would see every program presented by the national station.
Although people had been badmouthing the national station these years, like the hosts job-hoppinh together, programs becoming more and more boring, Liu Jia’an still gave his support and turned up his nose at those comments.
Most programs of the national station belonged to serious content. They seldom launched entertainment programs. But every time they launched an entertainment program, it would be a classic one.
Let’s put aside those grand and exquisite documentaries. The new Young People Want High, whether its conception or the content, they were both outstanding, beating other rotten variety shows to the ground.
They interpreted what was “your dad is still your dad.” with what they could do, no matter how many years had passed.
Last night, Liu Jia’an put off all his work and waited for the second episode of Young People Want High before the television. He never expected he would see Yu Qinghuan in the interview.
To show up in such a hot show, even as a passer-by, it was already very rare, let alone Yu Qinghuan and Huo Qu had contributed so many blisters.
“What hot search ability?” Yu Qinghuan had already left the interview in the street behind. And now hearing Liu Jia’an words, he was completely at a loss.
“Oh!” Liu Jia’an took out his phone, “Don’t you know? You and Huo Qu made a hit on Weibo yesterday.”
What? After Yu Qinghuan leaned forward to see what was going on, he nearly blacked out.
How could it be? Hadn’t his good luck been gradually gone? Even if this show was hot, they only showed up for a few seconds as passers-by, how would so many people were gossiping about them?
Wait? That person said she met Huo Qu at the airport of America?
Yu Qinghuan zoomed in the photo on Weibo and confirmed it was Huo Qu.
But it ain’t no right. Huo Qu said he’d stay there for a week. Something happened? And seen from the photo, Huo Qu was all alone, no one around.
On thinking that Huo Qu went to the airport himself, Yu Qinghuan nearly had a heart attack.
He immediately asked Liu Jia’an to contact Huo Rong and inquired about the situation.
Liu Jia’an knew about Yu Qinghuan, plus he had seen him and Huo Qu together in the show, so he didn’t suspect their relationship at all and immediately dialed Huo Rong’s number.
At this time, Huo family had already fallen into a panic. Huo Rong with a bristly unshaven chin was sitting on the couch, with red eyes, saying with a hoarse voice, “I was just joking, brother. I never expected he would really fly back alone.”
Huo Rong felt like stung by remorse. He’d wish that someone could give him a stab. If something bad happened to his little brother, he would never forgive himself.
Huo Rong gave Huo Rong dagger eyes, “For all these years, I thought you have grown up.”
“Brother!” Huo Rong threw a punch on the tea table, saying with a trembling voice, “I said I didn’t mean it. How old am I? How could I ever play tricks on him…”
“You better be.” Huo Zheng took his eyes back from him, “Adjust your expression. Pretend everything is as normal, or dad and mom will know. Now bring some people to the airport now.”
Although something went wrong at his little brother’s side, things hadn’t gone to the worst step. At least he correctly boarded on the right flight. So they should not blame Cheng Ya, instead, they should thank her.
Otherwise for his little brother’s stubborn characters, who knows where he is gonna send himself to?
“I’ll go now.” When Huo Rong was about to leave, his mobile phone rang.
Hearing it was Yu Qinghuan, he didn’t hide any detail from him, but told him everything while driving.
On the second floor, hearing the loud engine sound of her son’s sports car, Mrs. Huo wept in bed, looking very sad.
They were all her flesh. How would she not notice something happened? Those kids didn’t want to worry her, so she could only pretend that she knew nothing.
“Don’t cry.” Her husband moved to her and wept her tears for her with his rough hands, but his voice was gentle, “You are going to be a granny, how could you cry for such a small thing? Qu will be all right. Didn’t they say he has already boarded? Are you afraid that he may get lost on the plane?”
“Bah! Bah! Bah!” Mrs. Huo gave him a resentful expression, “You are lost! Are you even his father?” Now she got angrier and raised her voice, “You promised those old men could take care of him, so I didn’t let the bodyguards go with him. Otherwise, how would this happen?”
Looking at his furious and misbehaving wife, Mr. Huo heaved a sigh, “Miao, Qu is nearly thirty years old. You can not always take him as a kid. He is much better than before. Now he has someone he cares about and is willing to connect to the outside world. You can’t always put an eye on him. Have you ever thought about this? If things keep going on like this, what if we get old someday?”
Actually Mrs. Huo was already convinced by her husband, but she still wouldn’t admit it, “So what? He has two elder brothers.”
“But Huo Zheng and Huo Rong will get married some day and have their own wives and kids. How could they put all their attention on Qu like us?”
Mrs. Huo pursed her lips, but didn’t talk back.
“All right,” Mr. Huo patted her back and comforted her, “Pretend we know nothing. Leave it to those kids. Didn’t you say it’s a little cold recently? I’ll check out some warm countries. Then you pick one and only you and me…”
