Chapter 43 - TTFSO Chapter 43
Tang Er Yuan met a man with sunglasses at the entrance who was distinguished looking and tall.
Both of them stopped at the same time. The man looked at the face of Tang Er Yuan who somewhat resembled Tang San Yuan and hesitantly said, “You are……”
“I am San Yuan’s older brother, Tang Er Yuan.” Tang Er Yuan nodded towards him, Tang Er Yuan had seen him before on TV, he was Gu An.
Gu An took off his sunglasses to reveal a handsome face and seriously introduced himself, “Hello, I’m Gu An.”
Tang Er Yuan smiled at him, “Are you here to visit San Yuan’s set?”
Gu An nodded, his eyes visibly softened at the mention of Tang San Yuan, “Yes, I have time today, is he inside?”
“Yes, you can see him when you go in.” Tang Er Yuan looked at the gentle smile in his eyes. He clearly had feelings for Tang San Yuan and not just uncaring as Tang San Yuan had said.
Tang Er Yuan’s eyes twinkled, he felt that Tang San Yuan should also like Gu An so he decided to help Tang San Yuan.
He paused for a moment and deliberately spoke in an unclear manner, ” They just finished filming the make-out scene and are taking a break during the interval.”
Gu An’s face obviously sank, “A make-out scene?”
Tang Er Yuan nodded, “Yes, the intimate scenes of the two protagonists in this movie, the bed scene inside has not been removed yet.”
He wasn’t lying, he just didn’t mention the body double.
Gu An’s gaze went cold, he lightly pursed the corners of his mouth and nodded towards Tang Er Yuan, his voice a little cold and hard as he said, “I’ll go in first then.”
Li Can chased out and saw Gu An passing by Tang Er Yuan like a gust of wind. He frowned slightly and asked: “Who is that?”
Tang Er Yuan looked at Gu An’s back with a pleasant smile, “Future third brother-in-law!”
Li Can glanced at Gu An’s direction again before smiling and saying, “I’ll send you back.”
Tang Er Yuan raised his eyebrows at this, “You don’t need to stay here with Li Xin Ran?”
“It’s not safe for you to go back by yourself like this.”
“What do I look like?”
Lai Chan looked at the corners of his pink-tinged eyes and said after some thought: “……amorous1风情万种 (fēng qíng wàn zhǒng): means the feelings of love between a man and a woman is very much revealed.?”
Tang Er Yuan didn’t hold back and kicked him.
……
Li Can did not directly send Tang Er Yuan home, but drove his car left and right in the direction of the hotel where the two used to go.
When Tang Er Yuan saw the route, his cheeks blushed imperceptibly: “Didn’t you say you’d take me home?”
“I’ll take you to eat cherry blossom ice cream first, didn’t you want to eat it?” Li Can said while steering, his eyes swept across his slightly red cheeks and instantly understood, he couldn’t help but raise a wicked smile, “What are you thinking about?”
Tang Er Yuan unnaturally turned his face away, “I’m not thinking about anything.”
There happens to be a red light ahead, Li Chan didn’t tease him anymore, but looked at the road seriously.
The ice cream shop wasn’t far away. Li Can drove steadily and quickly and soon arrived.
After getting out of the car, the two of them walked into the ice cream shop side by side. The shop was decorated in a very fresh style with a wide variety of ice creams. Only the cherry blossom ice cream was the main one for the new season so there were a lot of people buying it and there was a long queue.
Tang Er Yuan found a seat by the window and sat down, surrounded by students from the nearby high school who had just ended school and had come in to buy ice cream. They had all kinds of ice cream in their hands and Tang Er Yuan couldn’t help but swallow saliva. He eagerly looked at Li Can, there were five people in front of Li Can and it seemed that it would take a while before it was his turn.
Tang Er Yuan could only withdraw his gaze. From where he was sitting, when he looked up, he could see the hotel where he and Li Can used to go. He stared at the familiar top floor, his cheeks gradually turned red, and then he looked away with red ears, afraid to look again.
There was lively and upbeat music playing in the shop and Tang Er Yuan was so tender-looking that he didn’t stand out at all when sitting among a group of high school students. Listening to the jostling sounds of the students around him, he couldn’t help but hum along with the music relaxedly, as if he was back in his student days.
After a while, Li Can finally came back with two cherry blossom ice creams and Tang Er Yuan looked up at him with his eyes fixed on the ice cream in his hand. Li Can couldn’t help but smile and handed Tang Er Yuan one of the ice cream in his hand.
The ice cream was in the same pink cherry blossom shape as its name and it was a delight to look at. Tang Er Yuan took it in his hand and looked at it, then couldn’t wait to take a bite. The ice cream was sweet and delicious, just as delicious as the rumours and Tang Er Yuan couldn’t help but take a few bites one after another.
Li Can smiled and sat down beside him, taking a bite of the ice cream himself, “Is it good?”
Tang Er Yuan nodded repeatedly, stretching out his pink tongue and gently licking the ice cream, like a kitten.
Li Can’s eyes were hot. If it was before, he would have dragged him to the hotel across the street, but now he could only take a big bite of the ice cream to cool down and let the dryness in his body dissipate.
Tang Er Yuan was in a better mood with the sweet ice cream in his mouth and chatted with Li Can, both of them in a rare relaxed mood.
Li Can looked around at the high school students and asked with hooked lips: “Do you think we both look like high school students?”
Tang Er Yuan gave him a disgusted look, “You don’t look like one, I do.”
Li Chan laughed in exasperation, “We’re both obviously the same age.”
“You’re old looking.” Tang Er Yuan looked at Li Can’s handsome face and said it against his will.
Li Can let out a laugh and finished the ice cream in his hand in two bites, it was beautifully and delicately made, but the amount was very small.
He threw the ice cream package into the bin, raised an eyebrow at Tang Er Yuan, smiled wickedly and lowered his voice: “High school students are actually not good, they can’t even get a room if they want to.”
According to intergalactic regulations, underage people under the age of eighteen are not allowed to get a room.
The mention of opening a room reminded Tang Er Yuan of the hotel across the street and those intimate images from before. Not sure why but when he got a room before, he wouldn’t be embarrassed. However, now he was a bit shy when he thought about it, his cheeks flushed and he choked a bit, he couldn’t help but cover his lips and cough.
Li Can quickly patted his back and went to the counter to get him a glass of water.
Tang Er Yuan drank the water in small sips and managed to stop coughing. He had just waved his hand to let Li Can stop patting his back when he looked up and saw Zhou Ze pushing in the door.
Zhou Ze saw the overly close distance between the two of them and paused for a moment before he raised a perfect smile and walked in to greet them, “Er Yuan, Li Can, you’re here too, what a coincidence.”
Li Can moved slowly to withdraw his hand, then smiled nonchalantly, he hadn’t liked Zhou Ze since his student days.
Tang Er Yuan’s eyes lit up at the sight of him and he stood up happily, “Zhou Ze, you’re here to buy ice cream too?”
At the mention of ice cream, Zhou Ze’s smile froze for a moment, his expression visibly darkened and his voice was somewhat cold as he said: “My dad asked me to come and……buy ice cream for my brother.”
Zhou Ze’s mother had been in poor health and had lived in a sanatorium for a long time, rarely spending time at home and the family’s relationship was cold.
His father had a young lover outside whom he had been together with for many years. Everyone in the Zhou family knew about it, Zhou Ze’s mother also knew about it, but just did not have the energy to take care of it. This young lover gave birth to a son for his father a few years ago. His father who got a son in his old age was naturally very happy and doted on that young lover even more. Its just that Zhou Ze’s mother and his father are from matching family backgrounds and the two families had a relationship of interest. Zhou Ze’s father would not divorce her easily so the little lover had no name and the son has a bad standing.
Zhou Ze has been abroad for several years and his father has listened to the encouragement of his mistress and has wasted a lot of money on investments. But he has become more and more kind to his son outside and has brought him to meet people several times, even bringing him to the family banquet of the Zhou family with the intention of admitting him into the family.
In the past few years, the Zhou family had caused a lot of scandals. Now that Zhou Ze was back, not sure if it would make his father change his mind.
Tang Er Yuan nodded to Zhou Ze, although he knew something about Zhou Ze’s family, he didn’t ask much about it, or rather he didn’t care.
Zhou Ze smiled and asked in a soft voice, “Er Yuan, have you finished eating? If you’re done eating, let me take you home.”
Tang Er Yuan hesitated for a moment, unconsciously glancing at Li Can sheepishly.
Li Can looked at Zhou Ze and spoke in a slightly cold voice, his tone was unspeakably annoyed, “Don’t you need to buy ice cream for your brother? Later, I’ll just send Er Yuan back.”
“It doesn’t matter if I don’t buy it, of course Er Yuan is more important, I believe my dad can understand.” Zhou Ze looked up at him, “Li Can, I heard that you are pursuing Xin Ran, just take good care of Xin Ran, Er Yuan will be fine with me taking care of him.”
Li Can looked at him, the two of them looked at each other, neither had any extra emotions under their eyes. Zhou Ze’s face still had a smile on it and Li Can was still expressionless.
Li Can even smiled a little, only his voice was a little cold, “Zhou Ze, if you want to take care of Er Yuan, take care of that mess in your house first, don’t propose lightly, let Er Yuan marry you and then have to follow you around all day long, fighting for power and profit. He is simple minded and not suitable for that kind of life, before you are able to protect him, it’s best not to make promises easily, and don’t involve him in that muddy water.”
Tang Er Yuan looked up at Li Can, unconsciously picking at him, surprisingly feeling that he was somewhat handsome like this.
Zhou Ze remembered his previous spirited attempt to take Li Xin Ran abroad and returning home in a mess, he felt that Li Can was mocking him. His face could not help but look a little ugly, his voice was stiff as he said, “I will naturally take care of my family’s affairs, I won’t trouble President Li to worry about it.”
Li Can smiled faintly, “I naturally won’t worry about it, it’s just that Er Yuan is my friend, you better not hurt him, and don’t let the shit things in your family hurt him.”
“……Of course.” Zhou Ze turned his head to look at Tang Er Yuan, his voice resuming its gentleness, “Er Yuan, let’s go.”
Tang Er Yuan nodded, he heard that the atmosphere between Li Can and Zhou Ze was a bit unpleasant, it was better to leave first.
He looked up and said goodbye to Li Can, “I’ll go first then.”
Li Can frowned slightly, but did not stop him, he just nodded.
On his way out, Zhou Ze carefully helped Tang Er Yuan pull open the door and waited for Tang Er Yuan to walk out before he followed.
He was such a person, thoughtful and cautious in everything he did. The most daring thing he had done in his life was to take Li Xin Ran abroad but in the end, he returned in a mess.
Li Can looked at Tang Er Yuan, who was leaving side by side with Zhou Ze, and for some reason, there was an unspeakable stifling in his heart.
He turned around irritably and went to buy two more cherry blossom ice creams, but unfortunately this time the stifling feeling in his heart did not dissipate until he had finished the ice cream.
melon: Not important but I just want to mention that Li Can and Li Xin Ran’s surnames are different characters. 黎灿 (lí càn) & 李心然 (lǐ xīn rán)1风情万种 (fēng qíng wàn zhǒng): means the feelings of love between a man and a woman is very much revealed.
